Chapter 523: It's Harder to Be a Bird

The inquiring gaze pierced the innocent appearance on the spot, and Yilu immediately lowered his head, and his attitude of admitting his mistake couldn't be better.

But this time, it may not be enough to just admit the mistake, the depressing atmosphere gradually solidified, the girl finally couldn't bear it anymore, sniffed vigorously, and her two misty eyes secretly aimed at the old man.

Seeing that the misty eyes were full of grievances and incomprehension, the old man's breath was really suffocated, and the spearhead turned to the egret and said "you"!

In short, the word "you" contains deep meanings such as anger, blame, indignation, helplessness, and hatred of iron and steel.

The old man tried to calm his breath, and the egret buried his head lower.

Seeing this, the girl hurriedly stepped forward to grab the old man, shook his arm and begged: "Grandpa, I begged Lingxi to bring me back, don't blame it...... I just want to know how the man's injuries are and how can I help?"

The girl's voice became smaller and smaller, and her expression became more and more pitiful, and the old man couldn't bear to see it, and his heart was filled with deep self-blame...... Yuan Qi was curious about what was wrong with mercy? If you want to blame yourself, you blame yourself for not thinking well, and rashly brought a stranger back.

However, the old man's train of thought changed, and he suddenly felt enlightened. He took a deep breath and said earnestly: "Yuan Yu, it's not that grandpa won't let you in, but this person is seriously injured and his life is in danger. Grandpa has just stabilized his injuries for him, and now he needs to collect a few herbs to come back. As for why he didn't let you in, it was because he was afraid that if you disturbed him in a pinch, he might ...... No life!"

"Ah, so serious?" When the girl heard the word "no life", her expression couldn't help but froze, and her face was a little less bloody. Soon, she fell into deep thought, and stomped her hands behind her back like an adult, the color of worry overflowing.

If outsiders see this scene, they must think it is funny, a little girl is so serious, as if she knows what kind of art to return to heaven.

The white lie played a role, and the old man couldn't help but feel relieved, if he ordered the girl not to go in, the girl would definitely be eager to try, and only by making her scruple and breaking off this idea by herself could the problem be truly solved. And he himself was afraid that he would lose too much to say, so he glared at the egret fiercely, and went towards the medicine garden.

The egret watched the old man leave, and soon regained his graceful posture of holding his chest up and raising his head. It looked at the constricted wooden door, then at the girl pacing with its hands behind it, and put its head on the girl's shoulder, as if to comfort her.

But the girl was too focused, so she just patted the egret on the head casually and said, "Don't make trouble, I'll think about it again." Can't go in and disturb him...... Ah, there it is, can I pray for him, with the support of the will of heaven, he will not die!"

"I remember that there was a specific use of prayer in my grandfather's house...... Hee-hee...... Let's go!" said the girl, and ran to another hut with her legs raised.

The egret wanted to stop it, but when he saw the girl's sneaky appearance as she passed by the path leading to the medicine garden, she immediately stopped.

Glancing at the locked wooden door with resentment, the egret reluctantly thought that the little master was really easy to deceive, how could this person die if he said he would die...... I don't look at the way your grandfather came back with him, and it doesn't look like he's dealing with a seriously injured and dying person.

In view of the old man's intimidation when he left, the egret still chose to remain silent. It's not that it doesn't want to remind the little owner, but it's a bird caught between two people, and it's really difficult. It's hard to be a human being these days, and it's even harder to be a bird!

What's more, the old man only said that he would not let Yuan Yu enter the house, and he did not forbid her to make trouble outside, so the egret stayed at Luoyu's door as a matter of course...... No matter what Yuan Qi makes elsewhere, it has been here anyway, and that's enough.

Since he found out that Luoyu had no blood in his body, and his own spiritual power was also sufficient, the old man knew that Luoyu's life was fine, even if he didn't care about him, he just woke up slowly. But now that the words were out, he had to find some herbal meanings.

Randomly plucked a few kinds of spiritual grasses that helped the body heal, and smashed them with a stone mortar absentmindedly, the old man squatted outside the medicine garden, and looked up at the wooden house where Luoyu was from time to time.

But for some reason, he was still a little uneasy in his heart. He didn't know where she went, maybe it was the egret's "iron-faced selflessness" that annoyed her, so she ran away to play somewhere else, anyway, as long as she didn't get near strangers......

The peculiarity of the old man and the girl is that they cannot be detected by the divine sense, but who knows that they can't seem to sense each other either. Because the old man hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he didn't know that Yuan Yu had already slipped into his room, stuffing an ancient book and a small crystal bowl the size of a palm into his arms.

Back to the hut with the medicine, the old man gave the egret an appreciative look as he passed by, encouraging him to keep going. But the egret didn't react much, just shoved its head under its wings, and seemed to be ready for a nap.

As soon as the door was closed, the prohibition separated the inside and outside of the house into two worlds. There was a rustling sound, and the egret's half-hidden eyes under its wings opened, and he saw that Yuan Yu had touched its side.

"Good Lingxi, help me collect it first. The girl's eyes seemed to shine with the most beautiful stars in the sky.

The egret softened for a while, but said silently, if you dare to be affectionate, you have to pull me as an accomplice! Then he appointed the general obedient to swallow a bowl of books and a bowl stolen by Yuan Yu into his stomach.

The girl skillfully climbed onto the back of the egret, and after lying down, she said no more.

You must know that Yuan Yu has nothing to say to himself, and the egret quickly notices the abnormality. The long beak brushed gently over his shoulder, waking Yuan Qi from his thoughts.

The girl was silent for a while, and her tone was eerie: "Lingxi, how long do you say we've lived here?"

The egret didn't answer, not even in his heart, because it knew it wasn't a problem.

"Over the years, my grandfather has taught me a lot of things, astronomy and geography, rune formations, secret magic, spirit animal pharmacology, mortal monks, national sects, and racial changes...... But I had never seen anything, I had never done anything, everything was transferred from books to my mind.

"Grandpa always said that it was dangerous outside, and I could only go out when I grew up and had the strength. But it's been so many years, I haven't grown an inch taller, I can't practice at all, except for those who only need to think about my head, there is no change at all. ”

There was a comforting emotion in the heart of the egret, soft but firm.

The girl did not answer, but continued: "I have read all the books that my grandfather gave me, and I have memorized them all, even the books that my grandfather hid in the inner room and did not let me read them, I peeked a lot ......"

Suddenly turned sideways and hugged the neck of the egret, and the girl said seriously: "Do you think there is something wrong with my body? Grandpa didn't tell me because he was afraid of scaring me." Like what...... Born with a defect, or a curse?"
