Chapter 32: The Uninvited Guest
"Mother-in-law, you ...... Definitely won't make a move, will it? Banxia looked at the old lady holding the cat and asked.
"Yes, I shouldn't have done it, if it weren't for Huo Xiaozi's nonsense, I wouldn't care about you children." The old lady stroked the back of the black cat in her arms and said calmly.
"That's it......" Banxia lowered his head, looked at the hexagram book in his hand, suddenly turned around, and bowed to the old lady cat: "Thank you for your help, but I think I should go back." I ......"
"Indeed, it's time for you to ......go," the old lady continued to stroke the cat in her arms, and her mood didn't seem to change much: "Look, someone has come to pick you up, and it seems that those little devils are also in a hurry." ”
"Huh?" Banxia listened to the old lady's words, and subconsciously looked out of the window. I saw the train burning and blazing to stop in the open space in front of the door of the cabin, and the big head of the flame illusion stared at the dilapidated wooden door of the cabin, as if it had been waiting for a long time.
"Train?!" Banxia smiled excitedly when she saw the familiar train. She turned her head and cast a gaze at Huo Qian behind her. Huo Qian and Lianke had already stood up early, and seemed to have known about the arrival of the train.
Huo Qian stretched out his thumb and pointed to the wooden door behind him, and then walked out of the hut with Lianke. Banxia quickly kept up with Huo Qian's pace, and before he was about to walk out of the house, he suddenly realized something, turned around suddenly, and bowed to the old lady: "Thank you for taking care of me, goodbye, mother-in-law." ”
The old lady looked at the polite Banxia and showed a smile, she waved her hand at Banxia: "Be careful, little girl, you still have a long way to go." ”
There was a puzzled expression on Banxia's face, but he still showed a relieved smile. She nodded at the old lady, a gesture full of trust.
"Hey, Banxia, hurry up!" Huo Qian stood on the carriage of the train, grabbed the pillar next to the carriage, and called out loudly.
"Well, it's coming, it's coming~" Banxia heard Huo Qian's call, turned around, and ran in the direction where Huo Qian was while waving his hand.
The old lady looked at Banxia's energetic back, and a meaningful smile squeezed out of her wrinkled face.
"Mother-in-law, they will still take care of Tianyangchuan's affairs, right?" The black cat, which was originally hiding in the arms of the old lady and enjoying the petting, raised its head and actually spoke human words!
"If you don't care, he won't be Huo Xiaozi......" The old lady put the black cat on the table next to her and cleaned up the messy items on the table: "However, he should know it in his heart, after all, I persuaded him so much." ”
"If he wasn't impulsive, he wouldn't be Huo Boy." The black cat squinted and licked its front paws.
"Then we'll see how far that little girl can go." The old lady stopped what she was doing, looked at the tree outside the window, and said earnestly.
"Then, Huo Qian, when are we going to Tianyangchuan?!" The train was speeding quickly in the sky, and the wind blew the faces of Huo Qian's party fiercely. Banxia covered the hat of the hoodie on his head with his hand, and said loudly to Huo Qian, who was standing at the front of the train.
"I don't know, but it should be soon. After all, the old lady told us what to do with her. Huo Qian stood in front of the train, looked at the scenery in front of him, and said confidently.
"Hmm...... That's it......" Banxia lowered her head and thought thoughtfully: "So, now, shall we go home?" ”
"Of course, it's been a long time after all...... Pack up some gear and go settle accounts with that bastard!! However, you should go to school until then, after all, even if it is said to be soon, it will be a long time. ”
The train was still speeding in the sky, its wheels dragging the flames, and the sound of young girls talking farther and farther away in the clouds.
"Master Ye! Master Ye! You...... Are you back? In the school corridor, Banxia was talking and laughing with his friends, after all, he had disappeared for so long, and he always had to respond to his friends' concerns. But during this short lunch break, an uninvited guest came - Zhang Hao! He ran over panting, his hands on his knees.
"I've always cared about you! The last time you ...... I was worried the last time I took a leave of absence, I ......"
"Get out of the way! Why didn't you save her when she was drowning in the middle of the summer! Li Lingling, who was outspoken, pushed Zhang Hao away, who came over, and said dissatisfiedly.
"That's because, because ...... Drown? You...... How do you know? Zhang Hao didn't react at once, it turned out to be ...... The secret that he tried so hard to keep is no longer a secret.
"Yes, yes! Why didn't you save her!? Wang Yue took a step forward and stood in front of Banxia.
"I ...... I...... It's me who is not good, I'm sorry Master Ye! Zhang Hao suddenly lowered his head and said guiltily: "I'm too weak!" What a failure I am!! Please forgive me! Master Ye! Forgive me!! ”
His voice became louder and louder, causing all the students in the entire corridor to cast puzzled glances, but Banxia was embarrassed: "Don't be like this, don't say anything here." ”
"So...... Are you willing to forgive me? Zhang Hao raised his head and looked at Banxia with expectation.
Although Wang Yue and Li Lingling both cast blocking glances, Banxia still nodded helplessly. Seeing Banxia nodding, Zhang Hao showed a satisfied smile: "Then, Master Ye!" You're back, when are we going to Tianyangchuan again?! ”
"You still want to go to Tianyang River?!" Banxia frowned.
"That's right! Master Ye! Didn't we say that we would clear the monsters of Tianyang River!? Zhang Hao said with great interest.
“…… No way. Although Banxia was kind, she still rejected him. Wang Yue and Li Lingling also cast smiling glances, seemingly very satisfied with Banxia's performance.
"For ...... Why!? Zhang Hao asked suspiciously.
"It's not something you can control anymore, they're too dangerous...... Banxia shook his head: "You're not suitable." ”
"But, I ......" Zhang Hao seemed to be very aggrieved and wanted to refute weakly.
"No......" Banxia lowered his head and no longer looked at Zhang Hao's eyes: "You are not qualified, I won't ...... Teach you again......"
"What!?" Zhang Hao suddenly looked very angry: "You said okay! You actually regret it like that?! I...... I was so mistaken about you! Ye Banxia, I always thought that you could help me and avenge Linlin! But you...... But you...... I'm so disappointed in you! Zhang Hao said very angrily, and left without looking back.
"This man is excessive! Banxia, let's ignore him. Li Lingling raised her middle finger at Zhang Hao's back and tried to comfort Banxia not to take it to heart. Although Banxia's expression was a little lonely, he still showed a hint of a smile, trying to prove that he was good.
Huo Qian leaned against the back door, watched this farce, did not speak, just walked back to the class quietly.
