Xiaotian didn't speak, there was a trace of sadness in his dark eyes, it was the memory of the lost time, the memory of the group of friends who once appeared here-

"Howling!"

"Xiaotian, you're here!"

"Why are you here?"

......

This is the voice of his friends when he once appeared here, such a voice can appear almost every day in the past, and the friends at that time will be in this bamboo forest while waiting for the appearance of the old man, when the friends saw him happily running towards them, the listless expression will immediately disappear without a trace, and immediately have a full mental outlook.

"Oops, I'm so tired that I finally ran out, huh, where's the old man?"

"Oh, I'm going to find a peacock duel!"

This first round of dialogue after he met his friends, it seems that it has never changed in those years, no one has ever seen the mysterious peacock, but everyone knows that the old man and a peacock duel for many years.

"Wow!

"Haha...... how fragrant, you just wait and see, the old man will appear soon, and we will eat together when the time comes!"

Whether it is him or his friends, they will bring some delicious food here every day, they like to compete for food here together, that kind of atmosphere, that kind of happiness, as if the food has become a mountain and sea delicacies, it has become dragon liver and phoenix marrow, even if it is an ordinary roast chicken, it makes them salivate and can't stop.

But all the delicacies that appear here are often taken away by the old man first, and they are taken away in an instant in front of everyone's eyes, as if they are doing a trick, of course, this is also telling them that the old man finally appeared, and the appearance of the old man always smells the fragrance, which seems to have become a law, food is always tempting, and the old man is always hungry.

Whenever this happens, the faces of the friends will be full of distress, and there will be boundless anger in their eyes, because they all know that if those delicacies reach the hands of the old man, they will no longer be able to worry about them, and it has nothing to do with them, so they can only stare helplessly at the old man sitting on the stone pier, swallowing saliva and not moving, and the posture and expression are firmly fixed in this way-

Some are squatting, some are sitting, some are standing, and some are half-tumbling......

"You little bunnies, where have you all gone? Where's my roast chicken......

Voices like this often come out after the old man finished telling the story, the old man stood in place and was angry, calling the earth to be unwilling, and the friends were hiding to the side and covering their mouths and snickering......

Xiao Tian thought about it and couldn't help but raise an arc at the corner of his mouth, bringing out a smile with incomprehensible meaning, I believe that that smile was full of a lot of content, in that faint light, you can actually see the tears in Xiao Tian's eyes.

This bamboo forest is his happiest and most beautiful place, there is a group of friends of the same age as him, they are all innocent, they are all lively, they are all smart and clever, of course, they are also naughty and naughty, and even sometimes they will scold and cry, but Xiaotian feels that even the crying sound is the most beautiful and beautiful sound in the world.

It's just that the world is impermanent, and the fireworks are easy to be cold, just after the news of the test conference came out, those little friends gradually left one by one, less and less, until the day after he and Yanjie returned from the mysterious place, he knew that it was no longer the past, the little friends were all gone, and the old man was gone, only those stone piers and bamboo leaves all over the ground.

"Brother Xiaotian, this is the bamboo forest you are talking about......"

"Brother Xiaotian, where is your little friend......

"Brother Xiaotian, where is that old man......"

This is what Yanjie asked him after he came with Yanjie excitedly that day, and they brought a lot of delicious food that day......

Xing Ze stood silently beside Xiao Tian without making a sound, and even his breathing was deliberately slowed down and cautious, he could clearly feel the sadness, the loss, and the longing emanating from Xiao Tian......

"Xingze, from now on you will be my eldest brother, I will call you Brother Xing in the future!"

After a long time, Xiaotian said firmly, it was a decision, a decision that could not be questioned or refuted, I don't know why he made such a decision, maybe it has something to do with this bamboo forest, with the former little friend, and the old man who told the story......

"Why?"

Xingzawa was puzzled.

"I want to!"

Xiaotian replied.

"What needs to be done?"

Xing Ze's hands were clasped tightly together.

"Bring a cup of tea, pour a water, pinch a shoulder and beat a leg!"

Xiaotian grinned.

"You're thinking too much!"

Xingzawa's hand tightened.

"This is where it goes!"

Xiao Tian smiled even more presumptuously.

"Now?"

Xingze's eyes were dark and cold, like death, terrifying.

"There's still a long way to go!"

Xiao Tian's eyes were as black as ink, like an abyss, full of mystery.

"As long as the scenery on the road is beautiful, it doesn't matter if you are a cow or a horse......"

Xingzawa's tone was firm, and his eyes fluctuated.

"Haha......"

The laughter of the roaring sky sounded unbridled in the dark night, and the bamboo forest in front of him rattled......

In the distance, a trace of fish belly white was revealed, and the sky and earth showed a numb light, and a figure came towards the Xuanyuan family like lightning in the air, and stopped at the gate of the Xuanyuan family in the blink of an eye.

"Meet the Dancing Prince!"

The old man who was guarding the door and some of the guards who were patrolling the night here bowed and saluted, it turned out that Xuanyuan Wuyang had returned, and he had set off from a station of the Yuyu tribe last night, which was a certain place where everyone who had come to participate in the test conference was stationed.

"Well, great work!"

Xuanyuan Wuyang shook his body as he spoke, and disappeared in front of everyone in an instant, and after a while, he appeared in the courtyard of his house, appeared outside his room, raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door.

"Brother Xing, although this place is a little scary, it is very quiet and no one will disturb you, you can be wronged here for a few days, and I will take you to the Xuanyuan Mansion as soon as possible." ”

Somewhere in the back mountain, here is close to the garden in the east, so people are relatively scarce, this can be said to be the place where everyone doesn't want to come, that is a fear of the unknown, Xiaotian and Xingze left the bamboo forest and looked for a long time without a place to stay, so they came here, as for the bamboo forest, it is not possible to live within the scope of the forbidden area, and it has long been occupied outside the scope of the forbidden area, Xiaotian and Xingze fled there in the accusation and abuse of everyone before, because Xiaotian's unbridled laughter disturbed the sweet dreams of some people there.

At that time, Xiaotian's wind was amazing, a person who can't cultivate can have such a fast speed, which is simply incredible in Xingze's concept, but in addition to his shock, Xiaotian actually had a scene that made his jaw drop in shock, that's right, Xiaotian fell down again, and after falling, he didn't have time to think about it and quickly got up, nervously looked back and raised his leg again and continued to run, Xingze who followed him smiled, this was the first time he smiled.

"It's good here, I don't want to go to the Xuanyuan family's mansion yet!"

Xingze didn't have the restraint and silence he had before, and Xiaotian chatted with him for a long time in this tent, and talked a lot......

"It depends on the situation, I'm going back now, if my sister finds out about me, I won't be able to come out, I'll send you a few clothes tomorrow, by the way, I'll look for you here in the future, if you have something to do, go to the bamboo forest, I'll stay there for a while every day at noon." ”

Xiaotian got up and was about to go back, but he ran out secretly.

"The ...... of the Bamboo Forest"

Xingze wanted to say something, but Xiaotian knew what he was going to ask.

"I'll tell you later, oh, you can use this first. ”

Xiao Tian threw a bag on the new quilt in the tent, that was all the money he had on him, he knew that Xingze would not accept this, but he was not the kind of mother-in-law and mother-in-law, who liked to say a lot of reasoning, anyone who expressed his heart directly, the result was very important, and before Xingze could speak, he had turned around and left the tent quickly......

Xing Ze looked at the direction of Xiao Tian's departure, and said to himself: "There should be a long, long story in the bamboo forest......
