Chapter 358: Midnight Ghost Fire

In the small makeshift camp, a fire was lit in a short time, and everyone set up the pots and began to make dinner.

Because it is in the wilderness, no more than in the village, everyone seems to be more cautious, even if they are resting, they do not dare to relax completely, and they are always paying attention to the movements around them.

As the aroma of rice spread, everyone's eyes couldn't help but stare at the cauldron in the middle.

After walking for such a long time, the group was already hungry, and when they smelled the aroma of the food, they swallowed their saliva unconsciously.

At this time, it was completely dark, Gu Xiaoxian still didn't move, she was still half-leaning against the tree, rubbing the jade pendant in one hand around her mouth, and gently resting her other hand on her lap, just looking at the starry sky and being distracted.

"Sister Gu, what are you looking at?" Ayu walked to Gu Xiaoxian's side and sat down, following her gaze, but saw nothing.

"Look at the stars. Gu Xiaoxian didn't look back, just replied softly.

"Ah Niang said that after death, people will become stars in the sky, and will Ah Niang and Grandma also become stars?" Ah Yu also looked up at the sky and muttered.

"I don't know...... If so, it would be the two brightest stars. Gu Xiaoxian didn't want to deceive Ayu, but she couldn't bear to hurt her, so she thought about it and added.

Gu Xiaoxian didn't expect that this kind of deceiving children would be the same anywhere, even in the Fairy Spirit Continent, it was also this set of rhetoric.

Of course, she knew that it was impossible, but she didn't want to hit Ayu at this time.

"Sister Gu...... In fact, Ayu knows that people don't become stars after they die. In the past, Ah Niang always told me that Ah Dad would become a star in the sky, and he would always look at Ah Yu and guard Ah Yu. ”

"However, Ayu and Daddy talked a lot, and he never answered me. I know that Daddy has not become a star at all, he is gone, it is impossible to see Ayu, let alone guard Ayu. ”

Ayu still looked up at the starry sky with her eyes unblinking, but tears fell down.

"Ayu......" Gu Xiaoxian felt that she had said the wrong thing, but she didn't know how to comfort Xiao Ayu.

"If, if Daddy can really see Ayu, why didn't he save Grandma and Grandma this time. ”

Ayu is sad that she lost her loved one the most and became an orphan overnight. Don't look at her as she looks very strong on weekdays, but she is always a child and doesn't know how to face the future.

"Ayu, how do you know that it wasn't your father who sent me to save you?" Gu Xiaoxian didn't go to help Ayu wipe her tears, she just whispered this.

"Woo woo, Sister Gu......" Ayu cried even more sadly.

Although she is a simple child, she already understands some things, she knows that A-Niang is comforting her, she also knows that Gu Xiaoxian is comforting her, she knows that her beloved Daddy, A-Niang and Grandma have left her forever.

Gu Xiaoxian sighed and didn't say anything more, before she always wanted to comfort Ayu and hope that she wouldn't cry, but now, she felt that she was too demanding of this child.

Shouldn't you cry when something so big happens?

If it were Gu Xiaoxian herself, she would probably be crying.

On the other hand, Ayu, except for the emotional breakdown on the night of the accident, has always behaved very well-behaved and sensible, taking the initiative to help everyone wash clothes, cook, and clean, for fear of causing trouble to adults, which is distressing to watch.

Gu Xiaoxian reached out and put her arm around Ayu's shoulder, hoping to make her feel a sense of security.

"Woo woo, Sister Gu, you don't have to lie to Ah Yu, Ah Yu is not a child anymore, Ah Yu knows everything, it wasn't Daddy who sent you, Woo Woo, Daddy is no longer here. ”

"A-Niang and grandma are also gone, Ayu knows, woo woo. Ayu curled up in Gu Xiaoxian's arms, crying silently.

Gu Xiaoxian was sitting a little far away from the fire, and most people didn't know what was going on on her side, only those who were closer could hear Ayu crying.

They didn't speak, they just secretly wiped away their tears, perhaps thinking of their relatives.

In one night, everyone present experienced a parting of life and death, who would not be sad and who would not be sad?

"Ayu, you are not a child anymore, and my sister doesn't lie to you, people really don't become stars after death, but they will live in your memory. ”

Gu Xiaoqian's words were just coaxing, she knew how painful it would be to only see one person in her memory.

"Woo woo~" Sure enough, Ayu will not be coaxed by a word.

Gu Xiaoxian sighed lightly, and stopped talking, she didn't need to speak, at this time, it was enough to accompany Ayu, let her cry, let her speak.

Ayu cried and cried, and gradually quieted down, she lazily leaned on Gu Xiaoxian, and also looked at the starry sky with Gu Xiaoxian, as if this would calm people down.

"Sister Gu...... Thank you. Ayu said very seriously, her voice seemed very calm, not as playful as usual.

"Your tone really looks like you've grown up. Gu Xiaoxian pinched Ayu's nose.

"Well, Ayu has grown up. Ayu nodded seriously.

"Yes, Ayu has grown up. Gu Xiaoxian smiled and said affirmatively.

At this time, Zhao Cui beckoned everyone to eat by the fire, because she didn't dare to shout loudly, Zhang Xiaohua ran over and beckoned everyone to eat one by one.

"Gu girl, Ayu, it's time to eat. ”

"Here it is. Gu Xiaoxian responded.

Then she patted Ayu beside her, "Let's go, let's eat." ”

"Hmm. Ayu wiped her face with her clothes, then stood up and walked to the edge of the fire with Gu Xiaoxian.

A group of people gathered around the fire, had a simple dinner, cleaned up, and found a place to rest.

However, they didn't get too far away from the fire, and they were afraid that they would go out of the range of the defensive barrier.

Although everyone didn't bring bedding or anything, there was a four-elephant array sacrificed by Gu Xiaoxian, which also avoided the uncomfortable mountain wind.

Because they had to hurry the next day, only two people were left to keep vigil in turn, and everyone else went to rest.

Gu Xiaoxian naturally hurried to cultivate, but she didn't eat the Earth Spirit Pill anymore, after all, in the wilderness, it was hard to say what she would encounter, and it was impossible for her to completely let down her guard.

Sure enough, in the second half of the night, Gu Xiaoxian suddenly opened her eyes, and she clearly sensed that something was approaching outside the Four Elephant Array.

In the darkness, a pair of green eyes appeared, and before the night watchman could exclaim, Gu Xiaoxian had already appeared beside him.

"Ahh

"Shhhhh
