Chapter 122: The Swamp of Death
Just when I was struggling and to no avail, no matter how much I thought, I walked slowly towards the old wanderer's dwelling with heavy steps. Maybe I haven't figured out how to choose, or maybe I have a choice in my heart but don't know how to say it.
What I didn't know was that when Ji Zixuan took advantage of me to go out to investigate how to wake up Ah Bao, he took Ah Bao alone and left quietly, completely unaware of where he went.
I was shocked, I didn't expect him to let go of Po's affairs, but I never thought that he could do this, which is really smacking.
"Ji Zixuan, Ji Zixuan, you come out for me. Where did you take Po? Let me tell you, if Po has something to do with three strengths and two shorts, you see if I will do anything. I do what I say, just give it a try. I yelled in anger to get him out.
A gust of wind blew, and all that responded to me was the sound of dead leaves slowly falling to the ground.
I sniffed, my eyes blurred with tears pouring in. There was an indescribable sense of grievance in my heart, as if I had given my beloved toy to a friend for safekeeping, but my friend had lost the toy.
"Ji Zixuan, if you have to make a fuss like this, then you can hide and don't let me find you." I gritted my teeth and squeezed out of my teeth, feeling very unhappy. But at the same time, I was afraid that he would be unfavorable to Bao, so I wanted to find Bao earlier.
I learned afterwards that Ji Zixuan was hiding in the shadows, quietly observing my every move. In fact, forcibly taking Ah Bao away was not his original intention. But he couldn't help it, I stayed in front of Bao's bed day and night, and he could only come up with such a way.
"How can I quickly find the whereabouts of Ji Zixuan and Po? If only I were clairvoyant. Or there are many mes, so you can do more with less. I pursed my lips and muttered in dissatisfaction. God knows, I wish I had three heads and six arms now.
I kicked the pebbles on the ground in every way I could, to show my displeasure. Suddenly, it occurred to me that in this dense forest, there are most ghosts. And they are easy to do, they are efficient, and they are the best candidates. I secretly praised myself in my heart, and I became a little complacent.
"Spirits, I need your help. Do you remember a man who has been following me all the time, named Ji Zixuan. There is also a child who has survived in this dense forest for a long time, named Bao. By the way, let me give you a description of what they look like. As I spoke, I seemed to suddenly think of something, and I explained in great detail what these two men looked like, and what they wore on the day they disappeared.
It was a brilliant idea for me. In this dense forest, there are most ghosts. I summoned the ghosts from before, and through the group of ghosts in the dense forest, I found Bao's location, and I was overjoyed.
"Miss Chu, we are not sure if the two people you mentioned are them, but after comparing the information you provided, eighty percent believe that they are them, and we have also found their location." A ghost spoke to me in a calm tone, a little troubled by his words.
I bowed to them again and again to show my gratitude to them. They waved their hands, indicating that everything had been done before thanks to me. Now it's just a gesture, not enough to worry about. "Miss Chu is like this, it's really tormenting us, if there is anything that can help in the future, just say it."
The spirits laughed, and after a brief inquiry with them about directions, they floated away in high spirits. I came to the location they said and did see Ji Zixuan.
But Ji Zixuan is also iron-hearted this time, and he will never hand over Ah Bao easily, he cleverly used the advanced eye-blocking method, not a person with advanced spells, he can't see that he used the eye-blocking method at all. And he is ready to buy some geists and take them for his own use.
By chance, Ji Zixuan met the old ghost. He wanted to convince the old geist to reconcile me with him. "I recently had a conflict with Xinyi, and you must know the specific situation. Since you are her respected elder, I am sure you know that I am sincere to her. ”
Ji Zixuan paused, pursed his lips and continued: "So I hope you can help me persuade her, she has a stubborn temper and must not want to see me." I'll leave this matter to you. After he finished speaking, he bowed deeply.
The old wandering soul sighed faintly, the young man now, he doesn't know what he is messing around all day long, although it doesn't approve of me getting too close to Ji Zixuan, but for the sake of his sincerity and sincerity to me, he opened his mouth helplessly.
"Young man, I will tell Miss Chu about this for you, as for the matter between you, I am old, so I won't be involved in the matter between you much......" The old wandering spirit said slowly, his tone was more full of helplessness.
Ji Zixuan asked again and again, and bowed respectfully to the old wandering soul before he gave up.
I don't know if it was destined to be entangled with him for the rest of my life, or if it was not destined to be broken, but later by chance, I did begin to rethink this relationship.
The old wandering spirit looked at me who was worried, coughed twice, cleared his throat, and told me in a very deep voice: "If there is any misunderstanding between the two of you, just make it clear, and now the scene is so embarrassing, I, an outsider, are anxious for you." ”
After listening to the old ghost's message, I had a lot of thoughts in my heart. More often than not, I don't think so. But Ji Zixuan seems to be the only one who doesn't agree with my three views, and he is looking for trouble with Ah Bao everywhere.
I scratched my head in confusion, pursed my lips, and assured the old wandering spirit: "You still need to persuade him to make peace for this kind of thing, and you will ignore him in the future." I'm sorry to trouble you with a little bit of a big fart. I'll warn him later, don't worry. ”
The old ghost waved his hand, signaling that it was out of the way. It didn't say much, it just said that it didn't understand what was going on with Ji Zixuan now, I was struggling, what else could I do, wasn't it like it is now.
"If it weren't for his distrust of Ah Bao and treating Ah Bao like this, how could I have had trouble with him. He also dared to take Ah Bao behind my back, in the end, he did all this on his own. The more I spoke, the more angry I became, and I mocked him angrily.
If I didn't consider Bao's life safety, I could have a cold war with Ji Zixuan, anyway, I'm angry now, so I don't want to deal with him. But for the sake of the overall situation, I decided to pretend to reconcile with Ji Zixuan for the sake of Ah Bao.
Later, it was as if Ji Zixuan and I had started again, in the dense forest, there were talking and laughing. "Eh, look. In fact, I found that in this dense forest, in addition to those unknown dangers, it is quite interesting. It's a bit like a paradise life, you say? ”
I smiled slightly, and said without any burden, let me forget about those nonsense thoughts for a while, and enjoy this temporary happiness. This hard-won busyness is like a treasure given to me by God.
"Yes, even the wind is so jubilant, and the leaves are rustling." Ji Zixuan was infected by me, and his mood involuntarily became happy. I glanced at him out of my spare eye, and quickly looked away.
I told him a few jokes, and before I could finish it, I burst out laughing again, as before. Ji Zixuan looked at me like this, and then laughed.
At this moment, the two of us seemed to forget the suspicions and suspicions between us, as well as the countless unpleasantness.
"By the way, lately I've been thinking back a lot to the time when we used to go to the playground together, and it was such a pleasant memory." And somehow, all of a sudden, I talked about the time when he took me to the playground together.
At that time, I was excited to be able to go to the playground. "We were on a roller coaster together, and we were rapids. You've always been afraid of water, shivering in my arms. As he spoke, Ji Zixuan laughed proudly.
Time flies, and the two of them playing entertainment facilities seem to be yesterday, but it seems to have passed a long time. I looked at him with crooked eyebrows, and the atmosphere between the two of them seemed unusually harmonious. Even the air around them is filled with a sweet smell.
"It was indeed a very good memory, but the memory can't be returned after all. I think you can understand too, after sitting for so long, I feel a little tired. Why don't you accompany me and walk in this dense forest? I muttered quietly, feeling a little complicated.
I took a deep breath and invited Ji Zixuan to take an aimless walk with me in the dense forest. He nodded silently, and he agreed to me.
When the two of us passed by the Swamp of Death, I suddenly felt a tightness under my feet, it turned out that my leg was grabbed by the ghost of tragic death, Ji Zixuan saw that the situation was urgent, and without saying a word, he began to cast a spell to save me.
"Xinyi, hold on. I'll cast a spell to save you now. Ji Zixuan swallowed his saliva, ignoring the thin sweat that kept rising on his forehead, and said to me anxiously, then closed his eyes, and recited his spell in a vibrating voice.
After going through so many strange things, I have lost the desire to survive, so I don't have to struggle, so I can die inexplicably, but Po still reassures me.
"Ji Zixuan, forget it, don't waste your efforts, I'll just fall deeper and deeper." I analyzed it calmly, both in my expression and in my tone, it was very flat, as if I was not the one who was grabbed by the ankle by a ghost and dragged into the swamp of death.
I recalled that Ah Bao once looked at me with a happy face, and praised me in a very envious tone: "Sister Xinyi, you and Brother Ji Zixuan are such a good match, and you are so harmonious and happy, it really makes me envious to death." ”
At that time, my face was full of joyful smiles, but now that I think about it, I was just deceiving myself. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh at myself, if I had the chance, I don't know if Po would envy her anymore.
Ji Zixuan felt that I was exuding despair, and when he saw that I was sinking deeper and deeper, he shouted at me: "Xinyi, don't mess around, hurry up." I was silent, he simply stopped fighting the ghosts, and wanted to fall into the swamp of death with me.
