Chapter 61: Late Return
Inside the cave, the red-haired monkey lies on its back on all fours, making a clear and even sound of heart.
Bian Yao silently put away the luminous stone, because the girl's one was much brighter than her own. The green vine leaves at the entrance of the cave were thick and dense enough to completely hide the light inside.
The girl sat down quietly on the blanket and reached out to stroke the soft fur on "Honghong", revealing a look of enjoyment.
A foot away, Bian Yao sat alone on a blanket, holding the space bag he had obtained from the two dead pursuers. Since the owner is dead, the mark left on the space bag disappears automatically. At this moment, he was immersed in his consciousness, carefully examining the contents of the contents.
After a while, Bian Yao opened his eyes and couldn't help but smile.
The various spirit fruits that the night corpse left him before, now there are only about a thousand left, although there are some rare spirit fruits in it that are more valuable, but if they are "only out and not in", they will be used up in less than half a year. Therefore, what he lacks most now is money!
Not to mention the messy things for the time being, there are more than 2,000 spirit fruits in these two storage bags. In addition, if these two storage bags are taken out and sold, they are also worth thousands of bishua fruits each. For him today, this is a huge windfall!
Bian Yao dripped his own blood in the two space bags, and with a slight movement of his mind, he transferred all the more than 2,000 spirit fruits to his own space bags. As for the messy things, they were all removed by him, selected and sorted, and all the things that he felt useful were also moved into the space bag he got in the "underground labyrinth".
"Hey, have you packed up? What do you want for that. The girl suddenly turned her head and said with a look of disdain.
Bian Yao ignored her, pretended not to hear, and was still busy with himself, thinking that of course you can't look down on these things as you.
Seeing that he ignored him, the girl raised her eyebrows, got up and walked a few steps to Bian Yao, "Dead boy, I'll talk to you!"
"What did you say? I didn't hear you. Bian Yao glanced up at her slightly, then lowered his head and got busy.
The girl sat down beside him, tilted her head, and asked curiously, "I ask you, what is the origin of those people, and why did they kill you?"
Bian Yao hesitated for a moment, and in order to avoid the girl's endless questioning, he recounted the last time he took the mission to Light Wind City, and was chased and killed because he saw through the conspiracy of the evil cultivators.
After hearing this, the girl frowned and scolded: "You stupid! you deserve to be hunted down! Who told you not to report this matter to the 'Law Enforcement Hall' earlier, and let them investigate this matter." ”
"What's the use of tracking, will that evil cultivator still stay where he was and wait for someone to catch him? ”
The girl lowered her eyebrows and thought for a moment, then said: "Although I say that, I don't think that evil cultivator is simple, if you continue like this, you will be killed sooner or later! When you return to the city, I will take you to the Law Enforcement Hall to report the case!"
"You don't have to worry about this! I don't want to owe you another life, and when I return to the city, I will practice behind closed doors for a while, and they will never go to the inn to kill me! I think after a while, they should give up. Bian Yao had a cold face and rejected the girl's proposal. Either way, he didn't want to get too close to her, as it could easily get into trouble.
The girl didn't seem to expect Bian Yao's tone to be so resolute, she was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "You deserve to die! I don't bother to care about you!" After speaking, she got up angrily, sat back on her blanket, and stroked the red-haired monkey without saying a word.
Bian Yao glanced at her secretly, thinking that his tone might be a little impersonal, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, after all, the girl was thinking about herself.
"Aren't you afraid that it will run away when it wakes up?" Bian Yao got up and walked across from her, knelt down and touched the head of the red-haired monkey.
The girl turned her head and snorted, "I'm not afraid! I bought a lot of his favorite red cherry blossoms, and it will obediently follow me." ”
"That's good, you touch it slowly, I'll sleep first. Bian Yao got up and walked back, lay down on his blanket, and slowly closed his eyes.
The girl turned her head and glared at him, then lay down on her side next to the red-haired monkey, one hand gently pressing on its belly.
It's about to be winter, the night is quiet and cold, but there is a warm smell flowing in the cave.
The night was long, but it was also a hurry.
As if awake, a burst of "giggle" laughter drilled into Bian Yao's ears. He opened his eyes abruptly and looked sideways.
The girl sat curled up on a blanket, with a few red fruits lying in the palm of her right hand, giggling from time to time. The red-haired monkey crouched in front of her knees, tilting its mouth as it stretched out its front paws to take the fruit from her palm and pass it to her mouth.
Bian Yao lay down and watched quietly for a while, then got up silently and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
"Why are you going?" the girl's voice sounded behind her.
"I'll see if it's dawn, so I'll get back to the city early. Bian Yao walked quickly to the entrance of the cave, reached out to pick up the thick vine leaves, and looked out.
It was not long before dawn broke, and the morning sun had not yet risen. The pale cyan northern sky, with a few bright stars remaining, and the forest in the distance is shrouded in a faint hazy smoke.
Suddenly, a black dot in the distance moved in an orbit, attracting Bian Yao's attention. When he moved his gaze to the black dot, he was suddenly startled and quickly retracted his head.
――――――
At the foot of the mountain, in the rocky belt.
Two black figures stood beside a corpse, and the atmosphere was very solemn.
"Five hours have been dead, and it appears that both of them were killed shortly after discovering their 'prey'. The man with a scar on his face stood up and said coldly.
Another black-faced man raised his head and looked at the crows that were hovering and flying in the sky, "It seems that the prey is much more dangerous and troublesome than expected! ”
"Judging by the situation at the scene, the prey does not appear to be injured. One night's time is enough for them to run a long way!" the scarred man scanned the ground around him.
"What's next? Wait for the other two teams to arrive before acting. The black-faced man asked, turning his face.
"I've sent out the summons, so I'll wait for instructions. As he spoke, the man with the scar sat down on a stone and said no more.
――――――
The girl turned her head to look at Bian Yao and noticed his abnormality, "What's wrong?"
"There are two people down the hill, who seem to be in the same gang as the two we killed last night. Bian Yao leaned against the cave wall, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Let's kill it again! The girl got up and walked to the entrance of the cave, and the red-haired monkey followed her towards the entrance.
"Can't take any chances! Except for the two people outside now, we don't know if there are any of them in the vicinity, and it will be troublesome if they are besieged!"
The girl secretly picked up the vine leaves and glanced at the appearance a few times, then turned around and picked up the red-haired monkey and walked back, pouting and sitting on the blanket.
"Kill and can't kill, so what do you say?"
"It looks like we'll have to wait two more days. Bian Yao sighed.
The girl sat without making a sound, just reaching out and stroking back and forth on the red-haired monkey, as if thinking about something.
"Then wait for two more days, it's nothing anyway, just enough to play with Honghong. The girl's expression suddenly relaxed, and she didn't care.
Hearing her say this, Bian Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that if the girl really wanted to rush out and kill people, he couldn't stop it by himself, and then he could only be unlucky with him!
Bian Yao stayed at the entrance of the cave, secretly observing the situation outside. It wasn't long before the two men at the foot of the mountain walked away with the crows.
Still, out of an abundance of caution, he decided to stay in the cave for two more days before returning to the city.
There are red-haired monkeys in the cave to accompany and play, they don't feel bored at all, and the two monkeys are having fun.
The girl took out all kinds of fruits that had been prepared in advance and gave them to the red-haired monkey from time to time. In this way, in less than two days, she and Honghong became a pair of close friends.
On the third day, as soon as the sky was bright, Bian Yao was the first to drill out of the cave, and Honghong was lying on the girl's shoulder, and the two of them and a monkey hurriedly ran towards the Green Dragon Forest.
