Chapter 542: It's too late to say goodbye
Yuan Qi seemed completely unaware of the change in herself, and froze after taking a few steps forward.
Luo Yu could vaguely see that her face was full of reluctance and confusion. The reluctance was expected, and she was at a loss, probably because she had never said goodbye to anyone, so she didn't know what to say.
Unable to help but raise her hand and touch the top of her furry head in front of her, Luo Yu finally affirmed her change both visually and tactilely.
"You...... I've grown taller. Luo Yu hesitated.
He remembered that Yuan Qi had said the old man's explanation for this—the more pure-blooded the clansmen grew.
Now, however, it seems that this is not the case.
The purity of the soul clan's bloodline is determined by the comprehension of the prayer nerve, is it not easy for people who comprehend quickly to grow up?
This is patently illogical. And I also learned it, and I didn't find any "side effects" at all.
"Huh?" Yuan Yu was stunned, she pondered for a long time before touching the top of her head and said, "Yes, I have grown taller, why don't I feel it......"
Seeing her confused appearance, Luo Yu couldn't help laughing, so he pulled up one of her cuffs and said, "It's useless to touch your head, you see, your sleeves have become shorter." ”
"Huh, it seems to be really ......" Yuan Yu looked at his cuffs, and then at his ankles, the dress that turned out to be just the right length was not long enough, revealing a large section of arms and calves.
"Ahh
The egret had already been woken up, and he also came over to watch the excitement.
"Lingxi, hurry up, light a lamp for me!"
When the egret heard this, it opened its mouth and spit out a cloud of white light, which floated above the pond and illuminated the vicinity like a white sun.
Yuan Yu looked at the reflection in the pool water, and her eyes were about to pop out. She touched her face and arms in disbelief, and her mouth kept exclaiming, "Really, really! I've grown up...... I've grown up!"
The amazement turned into cheers in a blink of an eye, and Yuan Yu easily hugged the neck of the egret, and said in surprise again: "Look, Lingxi, I have grown taller! I can hold you without having to bow your head!"
The egret's eyes were also full of surprise, and behind this surprise there was a deep incomprehension. It was eager to cheer with Yuan, but the old demon's instincts told it that the change was deeply strange.
Holding the egret excitedly for a while, Yuan Yu turned around and returned to Luoyu, stretched out his hand to compare, and showed a satisfied smile on his face.
The day before, her size was only up to Luoyu's waist, and today she is almost to her chest, and she has grown more than half a head tall in one night, which is enough to make this little guy who has been eager to grow up but not grow up to be happy and forgetful.
After a good night's sleep, Yuan Yu changed from a girl about ten years old to a twelve-thirteen-year-old, and her originally childish face also appeared a little bit of a stunning girl.
The night was so thick that it had been pierced by the morning light, and Yuan Qi was excitedly circling around the pond, like a fairy dancing in the morning light.
The only thing that is disturbing in this picture is her coarse cloth dress, which has no beauty at all, and is a little shorter. In Luoyu's imagination, she should be wearing colorful neon clothes and dancing in the brilliant glow.
Imagine that the picture of the extension quickly approached the woman holding the five-colored light in the picture scroll that day, Luoyu suddenly woke up, and said in the dark, no, no, just grow up, just make up the sky. He wants to see Yuan Yu grow up, but he doesn't want her to sacrifice, but he wants her to be happy for a long time.
Yuan Yu felt that this was the happiest day of her life, and her heart was about to float up to the clouds. When the first sound of the morning sounded from the old man's hut, she cheerfully rushed to the door and waited.
When the old man opened the door, he was startled by the big living person blocking the door.
But just when Yuan Qi excitedly lifted her skirt and circled, shouting loudly, "Grandpa, look! I've grown up!!", the old man was just like being struck by a thunderbolt, and the whole person's anger seemed to be suddenly drained, revealing deep fear under a wooden face!
The old man seemed to be petrified, and it was not until Yuan Yu jumped enough to stop and say that it was time to make new clothes, and his eyes rolled a few times and swept over Luoyu and the white egret.
In an instant, Luo Yu only felt that his heart sank, his previous suspicions were true, and they were developing in a worse direction.
It was certain that the old man had something to hide, otherwise he would not be horrified rather than surprised to see Yuan Yu grow up.
And Luoyu had an even worse premonition in his heart. The old man's gaze, which had no special emotions, swept over them, and he somehow felt a faint sense of weakness and self-blame, as if he was reflecting on what he had done wrong.
But in fact, he really didn't feel that he had done anything, and naturally he didn't know what was wrong, and he wanted to expel this feeling, but he found the egret shaking like chaff on the side, and his fear was overflowing.
Luoyu didn't see it, but the egret saw it, and the old man's emotions couldn't be described as angry. His fear, anger, entanglement, and incomprehension are all fiercely fighting in the depths of his mind, so that there is no superfluous mind to affect the change of expression, which is why he looks so dull.
However, the old man's attention was immediately drawn back by Yuan Yu. She was looking at the old man expectantly, expecting the old man's relief, excitement and encouragement.
Fortunately, the importance of Yuan Yu in his heart exceeded everything else, and the volcano on the verge of eruption was pulled back by an expectant look.
The old man let out a mechanical "ah" sound, and then forced a stiff smile on his face, and two very reluctant "Very good." ”
Yuan Yu's heart was already out of the clouds, so naturally he didn't notice the old man's unnaturalness. Her anticipation turned into a big smile as she wished, and she had a stomach full of things to say.
But the old man had no intention of listening. He patted Yuan Yu on the shoulder, then walked around her side and walked towards Luoyu.
"Well, it's time to go, it's time to go. The old man's whispers were almost inaudible to him.
He put a hand on Luoyu's shoulder, said, "It's not too early", and pulled Luoyu to transform into a distorted light and shadow, and disappeared in an instant.
Luoyu only felt dizzy in his head, and a feeling of weightlessness came, and he stepped on the ground again.
Looking into the distance, this is a field he has never seen before, and there are a few wisps of cooking smoke floating at the foot of the mountain in the distance, which should be some ordinary people's homes.
He hurriedly turned back to look at the old man, only to see that the old man's eyes were strange, and he wanted to speak again.
Without waiting for Luo Yu to ask, he nodded stiffly, and in an instant, he turned into a distorted light and disappeared without a trace.
What's going on?
Luo Yu was confused, and Shen Nian reached into the storage bag to look for the map, but was stunned to find that the communication jade slip he had prepared for Yuan Yu had not been given out......
At the same moment in the valley, Yuan Yu stared at the place where the old man and Luo Yu had just disappeared, and said blankly: "Isn't it early? Isn't it early in the morning?
The next moment, she suddenly woke up and wailed: "Lingxi, I haven't had time to say goodbye yet, what can I do?"
As he spoke, a small face completely collapsed.
