It was talking nonsense, and the child who was talking to Meng Yuanji on the other side was also incoherent: "Daddy, I want daddy...... Daddy is gone...... Daddy......"

His bare foot, the soles of his feet were black, and he didn't know how many ways he had walked to find his father.

Meng Yuanji grabbed the handkerchief and carefully wiped his face.

"Daddy...... Monster...... Daddy was eaten by a monster......" The little boy with a blank eye cried and said, "I want Daddy ......"

One time he would say that his father was gone, and the other time he would say that his father had been eaten by a monster.

The sound of talking and crying entered Tang Xin's ears together.

Meng Liu's "wait a minute" originally meant this.

But in the current situation, we can't wait any longer.

He stared at Ah Yan and urged Meng Yuanji again: "It's getting dark." ”

The sun shone brightly, and the palms of the people sweated, but for them, it was indeed dark. Ah Yan seemed to be on the verge of losing control, and the flames that were constantly scattering burned scorch marks on the ground.

Although the pedestrians around him had not noticed anything unusual, it was clear that the calm would not last long.

Tang Xin's voice became anxious and nervous.

Meng Yuanji's expression did not change at all.

He was still smiling.

The bright eyes and the corners of his lips curled made him look like a good person who couldn't be more pure.

The panicked child gradually fell into his gentleness and kindness.

Meng Yuanji asked in a low voice, "Have you seen the monster?" ”

The child nodded vigorously, revealing the blue scalp on top. On his head, only a short pigtail remained.

Meng Yuanji's gaze swayed back and forth with his braids, monster--in this case, if he heard it before leaving home, he would definitely not believe it.

But now, even if there is a fake, he has to believe it first.

Meng Yuanji asked again: "What is the appearance of that monster?" ”

When the child heard this, he nodded and paused: "Yes, it's a big pig......

"The big pig ate Daddy!" He suddenly screamed, hugged his head, and curled up his body in a ball, "It's the big pig that eats Daddy!" ”

Meng Yuanji was stunned, "Pig? ”

Pig demon?

No way.

Hearing the child's scream, passers-by looked at him strangely.

Meng Yuanji touched his head, stood up, and asked the little boy where his home was, and he wanted to send him back. But when the little boy heard his words, he just turned around and ran away, still saying "big pig, big pig" in his mouth, and soon disappeared into the crowd.

Meng Yuanji called him twice, but he didn't catch up.

Regardless of whether the pig demon's story is true or not, he has to go back and tell it.

Turning around, he frowned and approached Tang Xin and Ah Yan: "What's wrong?" ”

Ah Yan already looked like he couldn't understand people's words.

Tang Xin said: "This place is wrong. ”

The streets are bustling with activity, and everyone looks ordinary. The sun is warm, the air is pleasant, and the smell of food is sweet and inviting, but no, there must be something wrong.

Otherwise, Ah Yan wouldn't have suddenly become like this.

Meng Yuanji stood in front of Ah Yan, frowning, and suddenly turned around and looked back.

Tang Xin's eyes lit up, and he asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Meng Yuanji said "nothing", but the expression on his face turned back has become solemn: "Go back." ”

Ah Yan didn't move, he froze there, the hot fire made the air scorch.

Seeing this, Tang Xin softly spit out two words from his mouth, "Jia Lan." ”

Sure enough, as soon as Ah Yan heard this, he woke up like a drunkard and hurriedly flew forward.

That direction is the same direction they came from, and it still remembers the way, indicating that consciousness has not completely collapsed.

Tang Xin and Meng Yuanji walked side by side.

The solemnity on Meng Yuanji's face did not fade a point. A person who is always smiling and suddenly not smiling is much more worrying than a person who is always with a cold face and suddenly laughs.

Tang Xin quickened his pace.

Meng Yuanji's back was as straight as a long sword in the middle of a forged cooling.

The gaze he felt was still not gone.

No matter how far they go or how fast they go, the feeling of being stared at is always there.

It's a monster, and malice.

His right hand hung down at his side, burning and aching.

The Meng family's ability to perceive demonic qi is inferior to one generation after another, and one is inferior to the other, but he is untrained, and in a sense, he is a genius.

He can't be wrong with his feelings.

It's just that no matter how talented you are, if you don't carve it, your genius is limited.

He was sure that something was watching them, but he couldn't be sure what it was or where it was at the moment.

All he knew was that those guys weren't far away, and they weren't far from what they could handle.

The oncoming crowd is like a tide full of eyes.

Meng Yuanji and Tang Xin went faster and faster in the surging flow of people.

In the distance, the young man with the sugar cake in his mouth showed a puzzled expression: "Tan Zhen, that person saw us, right?" ”

Tan Zhen raised his hand, gently wiped the sugar stains from his mouth with his fingers, and said in a low voice, "How could he see us when we were so far away." ”

Lantern Xiao ate the sugar cake in his hand in two bites, frowned slightly and said, "But look at him, it's very strange, right?" ”

Tan Zhen bowed his head lightly and agreed: "If you want to say strange, it is really strange." ”

Originally, in the restaurant, he still felt that the existence of him and Lantern Festival was the strangest thing in the city.

But when they came out of the blue, they saw something even stranger.

Those two people seemed to be able to see the blue fire as well as they did.

Lovely ...... When you see a youkai, will you be so calm?

And as soon as the fire moved, they moved with it.

The corners of Tan Zhen's mouth rose, and he suddenly laughed: "Lantern Festival, do you remember what Ah Xing's letter says?" ”

Lantern Xiao walked beside him, and took out another handful of mulberries out of nowhere.

The black-haired purple fruit stained his fingers red.

He stuffed it into his mouth and said, "I'm not a fool, how can I forget the letter I just read." ”

Tan Zhen said: "Since you haven't forgotten, then you didn't think of anything when you saw that person?" ”

"That person, which one?" Lantern Xiao looked ahead, and her lips were also dyed with mulberry juice.

Tan Zhen raised his right hand.

Lantern Xiao suddenly realized: "Oh, it's that one." ”

He poured all the mulberries in his hand into his mouth.

Such a full handful fell into his mouth, but it was like entering a bottomless pit.

He didn't seem to even chew it.

"I remember." Lantern Xiao wiped her mouth twice with her sleeve, "Ah Xing's letter said that the demon slayer they met Xiao Qi had a bandage wrapped in his right hand. ”

Tan Zhen smiled: "That's right. ”

The scorching sun of Jiangcheng illuminated their faces.

Meng Yuanji in the crowd slowly sweated.

Tang Xin's face was ugly: "Meng Liu." ”

"Haven't we just walked through this place?"
