Chapter 203: The Mysterious Parchment Scroll
Hopps was stunned when he heard this, and the hand that reached into his sleeve suddenly withdrew.
Since Shen ChasΓ© is here, he definitely doesn't have to do it himself, but this goods are coming too slowly, and the parchment rolls have been snatched away by the black-robed man!
But his life was finally saved.
I saw Shen Chai step in front of Hops, pointed at the eight-clawed water ghost and shouted: "Stay! The octopus monster is going to be wild, see that Lord Ben has accepted you!"
With that, a flickering flame jumped between Shen Chai's palms, and with a "boom", a huge fireball smashed towards the eight-clawed water ghost!
The eight-clawed water ghost flicked its tentacles, and then exploded the fireball!
"Bang!"
Dazzling sparks flew in all directions, instantly illuminating the surroundings as if it were day!
In this instant, the full picture of the eight-clawed water ghost was revealed.
Seeing this, Hopps was shocked, how could this eight-clawed water ghost be covered in black smoke, and only one of its fangs was white!
It's like a ghost!
At this moment, a voice sounded again: "Behold, there is a fire, and there it is!"
After a while, I saw Tang Shishi, Hannah and Blue rushing out of the dense grass.
At this moment, the dazzling brilliance has almost passed, and the scene is dark again.
"Grandpa!" Hannah exclaimed, throwing herself into Hoppus's arms, "Grandpa, are you alright?"
Blue and Tang Shishi also hurriedly protected in front of Hopus, standing side by side with Shen Chai, intending to join forces to deal with the black shadow in front of them.
Suddenly, the strange voice sounded again: "Hops, you old bastard, this time it's your fate!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the octaclawed water ghost dodged into the dense grass.
"Chase!" Blue shouted, and was about to chase into the grass, but was stopped by Shen Chase.
"It's night, this black swamp is too dangerous to chase!"
"Shen Chai is right, you can't chase. Hope spoke, then looked at Hannah quizzically, "How did you find it?"
Hannah replied, "We were sleeping, and suddenly Shen ran into the house and said that you had been captured, and then we chased after each other, and then we saw the fire here, so we found it." β
"Hmm," Hopps lowered his head and pondered for a while, feeling that this seemed a little strange, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, "Let's go, let's go back quickly, the servants are still repairing the area, and they have no one to protect them!"
After saying this, Hopps's heart lit up, and he suddenly caught the clues, and he glanced coldly at the people around him: "What about the little girl?"
"What little girl?" asked Shen Chai with a puzzled expression.
"That's that Shen Xiaohe, what about Shen Xiaohe?" Hoppers's words were obviously questioning.
Hannah was shocked when she heard this, she had never seen her grandfather talk to someone like this, he had always been amiable and pleasant!
And Shen Xiaohe didn't have the duty to protect Hops in the first place, so he can't blame him like this if he didn't come!
How could Hannah know what Hops had gone through, he had just been robbed of a treasure by his enemies fifteen years ago!
Now that he has finally caught a clue, how can he let it go so easily? Maybe if he investigates along this line, he will be able to recover the parchment!
"Oh, you said little hey!" Tang Shishi replied lightly, "She was also chased out to save you, but I think we all came out, and the servants and goods were not protected, so I let her go back." β
"Well, that's it!" Hope pondered that this seemed reasonable, but he was an old fox who was a ghost and a ghost, and he said a word on his lips, but he was still suspicious of Shen Xiaohe.
Moreover, the words he and Shen Chai said around the bonfire also made Hopus feel wrong, and Shen Chai was obviously suspicious at that time!
Thinking about it, Hopps was suddenly stunned, and a guess instantly came to mind.
Could it be that Shen Chai and Shen Xiaohei cheated themselves?
Thinking of this, Hope quickened his pace back, and even trotted all the way.
Actually, this guess is very well confirmed, that is, hurry up to the rest area to see if Shen Xiaohei is really there!
Hannah and Blue both thought Hopps was a bit neurotic, and guessed he was frightened by the dark shadow just now.
Tang Shishi and Shen Chai walked at the end, they looked at each other, and they couldn't help but smile secretly.
Hoppes and the others hurried back to the finishing area, and saw that the servants were all gathered around the campfire, as if waiting for news.
At this time, seeing that Hopce had finally returned, the eight servants all ran over excitedly, shouting and asking for warmth, for fear that Hopce was missing a part.
"I'm fine, I'm fine!" Hopus hurriedly waved his hand and made a quiet gesture, "What about Shen Xiaohe?"
"Oh, she's sleeping in the house. The servants said.
Hoppus pushed through the crowd, picked up a torch from the campfire, hurried forward, and pushed the door open.
Under the light of the torches, I saw Shen Xiaohe sleeping soundly on the straw mat, and smashed his mouth from time to time.
Hopston frowned, did he wronged her?
He turned his head again and asked the servant, "When did Shen Xiaohei come back?"
The servants thought for a moment and said, "I came back very early, saying that I could not save you, but that she would come back to protect us!" and then we waited for you by the campfire, and she went back to sleep. β
"She didn't come out halfway?" Hopps asked, still unrelenting.
"No," said the servants in unison.
"Hmm. Hopps let out a long sigh, it seemed that he was suspicious, but in the border lands, how could he not be more thoughtful.
Over the years, it is the suspicion that has allowed me to live until now!
"Let's all go back and rest!" Hopps commanded, feeling empty in his heart.
"Miss Hannah," a servant quietly pulled Hannah aside, "why does Master Hopps suddenly care about this little girl?
"What nonsense!" said Hannah, to the servant, "Grandpa is overly frightened!"
"Oh, that's right!" muttered the servant, and entered the house.
Just as Hannah was about to go into the house to sleep, she saw Hopps beckoning her over.
"What's wrong, Grandpa?" asked Hannah.
"Did Shen Xiaohei go out with you to save me?" Hopps asked thoughtfully.
Hannah thought for a moment, "Like, we were in a hurry, and it was dark in the house, where could we pay attention to this!"
"Don't look like you," Hopps said, with a sinking face, "think about it, isn't it?"
"Yes!
Hannah also began to mumble in her heart, could it be that grandpa really fell in love with this little girl?
She doesn't want to have a Lori grandmother!
