Chapter 025: Choice
Pei Qingqing walked to Du Xiaobai's side, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said, "Xiaobai has a strange poison in his body, maybe there has been some kind of change in his body, we can try to understand it." It may be a blessing to be able to understand the words of animals. However, I am very puzzled by what White Shadow said that the river is going to rise. ”
The four of them looked at Pei Qingqing, not knowing what he meant by "incomprehensible".
Pei Qingqing explained: "Xiaobai may not be clear, but we all know that in the underworld, the land area is very small. In addition to the vast ocean outside, there is only one river inland, and that is the Lechuan River, which surrounds the city of Yudu. The four words that Bai Ying said were that the river should rise at the tide, not the sea with the rising tide. In this way, it should refer to the Lethe River. Although it is recorded in history that there was a high tide in the Lechuan River thousands of years ago, and many people died because of the high tide, but that was too long. For thousands of years, the Lethe River has been very calm. So I think that if Xiaobai didn't hear it wrong, then maybe Bai Ying's feeling was wrong......"
After everyone listened, they all shifted their eyes to Bai Ying and Du Xiaobai, Du Xiaobai himself was also a little confused, could it be that he really heard it wrong?
He hesitantly stepped forward, patted Bai Ying on the back, and said, "Dude, is the Lechuan River really going to be at high tide? Where is the tide rising? When is the tide rising?"
Bai Ying didn't seem to hear what Du Xiaobai was saying at all, he just lowered his head and didn't make a sound anymore.
Xiao Cang hurriedly said: "Uncle Xiaobai, you asked so many questions at once, and it confused it! You said slow down!"
Du Xiaobai pursed his lips, lightly flicked Xiao Cang's brain, changed a smiling expression, and asked Bai Ying angrily: "Dear Bai Ying classmate, may I ask, when will the tide rise?"
When everyone saw this, they almost vomited in disgust, but Bai Ying was still unaffected, and continued to go his own way, bowing his head, without saying anything.
Du Xiaobai's head drooped, a little frustrated, and the little excitement that he understood the animal's words just now disappeared.
Yun Yun pressed the tip of her finger against her chin and quipped: "Little White Brother, it seems that you can understand what it says, but it can't understand what you say." ”
Xiao Yuyao comforted: "When I was a child, I once read in an ancient book that all animals in nature have intuitions that we humans can't understand, and a rare good horse like Bai Ying in the world should not be a problem, but I believe Bai Ying's words." But if we humans want to talk and communicate with animals, it is a bit too far-fetched. Mr. Du, you don't have to worry too much. ”
When Du Xiaobai heard Xiao Yuyao's words, she felt a little relieved in her heart, and cast a friendly look at Xiao Yuyao, but Xiao Yuyao quietly turned her head to the side, as soon as she saw Du Xiaobai's gaze, she would unnaturally remember the scene when she was gone, and still felt a little embarrassed.
Pei Qingqing interjected: "What Yaoyao said is also true, it's great to be able to hear it, Xiaobai, you don't have to force it." But then again, we only know that the tide is going to rise, and we don't have the exact time and place, so what should we do? We can't go to the Lechuan River to squat somewhat......"
Du Xiaobai asked, "Pei Lao, how far is the Lechuan River?"
"According to the speed of the car just now, it will take about fifteen minutes, but the first premise is that we can get by," Pei Qingqing pointed to the group of souls moving slowly in front of him and said, "No one knows how long they will be stuck here, and the team behind them still can't see the end." ”
Du Xiaobai looked at the group of souls in front of him one after another, and nodded lightly.
In his opinion, being able to hear Bai Ying's words is a kind of fate, and maybe it is even more of a providence. This providence, there is an indescribable power in the underworld, pushing the blood in his body to flow surgingly, pushing him to explore, so that he can't choose to stay out of it.
And this inexplicable power made him extremely familiar. Because it is like the force that once pulled him out of the abyss of grief, like the rushing water that once shattered his stubborn thoughts, let him regain the hope of life, and regain his love for life.
Du Xiaobai set his eyes on Xiao Yuyao next to him, in his opinion, this eldest lady of the Xiao family was the most capable person among them.
Xiao Yuyao and Du Xiaobai looked at each other for a few seconds, this time she didn't feel embarrassed, but felt a trace of this man's determination, which she was also familiar with.
Many years ago, when she secretly founded Lingji Hall without telling her family, she was also so enthusiastic. It's just that this Du Xiaobai should have passed the age of being brainless and hot-blooded, and besides, he is still a rookie soul who is injured and doesn't even know the road, why can he be so concerned about this kind of thing that has nothing to do with himself......
Xiao Yuyao looked directly at Du Xiaobai and asked, "You, are you really going?"
"Yes, Miss Xiao, do you have a way to get over?" Du Xiaobai asked firmly.
"It's not that there is no way, it's just ......" Xiao Yuyao was still a little hesitant. She herself came with private matters, the first is to ask Pei Lao to go back to check the main poison, and the second is to bring this Du Xiaobai back to the spirit butterfly. These two things are related to the fate of the family. If Du Xiaobai is allowed to go to the Lechuan River, if something happens on the way, maybe a useful clue will be broken.
"Just what?" Du Xiaobai asked. His mind is very simple, and he doesn't have as many scruples as Xiao Yuyao.
Xiao Yuyao looked at Du Xiaobai's burning eyes, although she was silent on the surface, her heart was tumbling. On the one hand, the interests of the family, and on the other hand, her own enthusiasm, made it difficult for her to choose for a while.
"Miss......" Yun Yun seemed to see Xiao Yuyao's concerns, and often accompanied her, Yun Yun understood her distress.
Xiao Yuyao waved her hand and said, "That's it, a soul who has just arrived in the underworld can still have such enthusiasm, not to mention those of us who have lived in the underworld for many years. Brother Du, if you insist on going, I will accompany you for a while. ”
"Yaoyao, that main body poison ......" Pei Qingqing said worriedly.
"Teacher, the test of the main body poison really can't be delayed any longer, and its impact may be immeasurable. Let's divide into two ways, I will take Brother Du to the ferry, and the three of you will take the car back to Lingdie as soon as possible. Without further ado, it's decided, let's go. After Xiao Yuyao made a choice, she turned back into her calm and decisive self.
Pei Qingqing saw Xiao Yuyao's determination, nodded, and said, "Understood." Teachers will do their best. ”
Xiao Yuyao walked to Du Xiaobai's side and said, "Brother Du, you come with me, let's go and open the way." Can you go?"
"No problem!"
Du Xiaobai didn't know how many twists and turns Xiao Yuyao had gone through in his heart, but this did not prevent him from being full of admiration for this woman. Since he came to Pei Lao's house, he has been sleeping most of the time, and he doesn't know exactly what happened. In his current opinion, the matter of the rising tide has nothing to do with him, and it should not have much to do with Xiao Yuyao. And Xiao Yuyao's decision to do her part for this matter is worthy of respect in itself.
"Teacher, the three of you get in the car, and the two of us go to the front to open the way. Xiao Yuyao instructed the three of them.
Yun Yun and Xiao Cang sat in the carriage, Pei Qingqing sat in the driver's seat, patted Bai Ying, and slowly followed behind Xiao Yuyao and Du Xiaobai.
Xiao Yuyao took the lead in front and said to Du Xiaobai, who was following him, "Do you still have your watch in your hand?"
"It's still there, what's wrong?" Du Xiaobai wondered why Xiao Yuyao asked.
"It might come in handy, you put it on, don't lose it, it's a baby." Xiao Yuyao said as she walked.
"Oh...... Good ......" Du Xiaobai is now a bit psychologically shadowed by looking at things, since he lost the mask of the seventh master.
"What's the matter?, is there any problem?" Xiao Yuyao noticed Du Xiaobai's strange appearance.
"I didn't ...... No problem, I won't lose it. Du Xiaobai wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead.
Xiao Yuyao didn't know the real reason why Du Xiaobai was so nervous, she only thought that he was reluctant to use An Qi's watch, and she couldn't help but feel a little angry in her heart, and said angrily: "I know whose watch you are, I will use it at most to show my identity, and I won't do anything else, if you are not willing, it's a big deal that I will think of another way!"
Du Xiaobai understood what Xiao Yuyao meant, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, Miss Xiao, I misunderstood you, I'm not reluctant to use it, it's just ...... It's just that I've lost something recently, and when you just told me not to lose it, I was a little nervous......"
Xiao Yuyao glanced at Du Xiaobai suspiciously, feeling that he didn't feel like he was lying, and the annoyance in his heart gradually faded, but he didn't soften in his mouth, and changed the topic: "Your ability to resist pressure needs to be improved." Moreover, a man, don't always put the word sorry on his lips. ”
Du Xiaobai looked at Xiao Yuyao, who was striding towards the soul group, rubbed his beating temples, and sighed secretly: An Qi and Xiao Yuyao, the two little girls, are really classmates!
Meanwhile, in Angel's own boudoir, a white-shirted healer is nursing a wound on her abdomen.
"Aunt Fang, you won't leave a scar...... right" An Qi asked softly with a pout.
Fang Caihe didn't answer, and continued to concentrate on sprinkling a circle of white powder around the wound, sprinkled a few drops of fiery red potion, covered it with a piece of refined gauze, and finally wrapped several circles of bandages around An Qi's waist.
"Do you know beauty now?" After processing, Fang Caihe said angrily.
An Qi pursed her mouth, pretended to sobbed twice, and looked at Fang Caihe with a pitiful expression.
Fang Caihe took a shining scalpel, moved it above An Qi's knees, made a leg sawing motion, and pretended to say with a vicious expression: "Next time, if you don't protect yourself well, I'll see your legs, so that you don't have to worry about this idleness anymore, and you won't have to be angry with this idleness." ”
Angel rolled into the innermost part of the bed, covered her knees with both hands, and said with a smile: "I know Aunt Fang, you are reluctant." ”
Fang Caihe glared at her slightly, got up and walked towards the outhouse, leaving a sentence in the air: "There will be no scars." ”
An Qi's eyes lit up, and another grunt sat up, shouting at the female doctor's back, "Thank you, Aunt Fang!"
Fang Caihe snorted and closed the door.
An Qi plopped down on the bed, looked at the roof in distraction, where there was a portrait of her brother An Qiao, and said to herself: "Little white brother, are you really not here?"
Outside the house, Fang Caihe walked to a round table, sat down gently, and asked, "How is the situation on the other side of the Lechuan River?"
An Nantian, who was sitting on the side, replied: "Hundreds of thousands of souls poured in at once, even if most of them can't pass through the Soul Devouring Flower Area, what will be left behind will be a very huge number. With our current military strength, it is really unbearable. So, almost all the soldiers went to maintain order. ”
"What happened in the world?" asked Fang Caihe.
"In China, a cult took advantage of the abnormal weather and staged a military coup, but failed. These souls have been used as guns. An Nantian clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.
Fang Caihe didn't listen, and after hearing it, he was even more angry, and roared at An Nantian, who was sitting on the side: "An Nantian, you said that in that world, there is no restriction on thermal weapons, how dangerous it is! You still let Qiqi go over there to find someone, don't you feel sorry for your daughter?"
An Nantian scratched his head, and his voice couldn't help but lower a little: "It's most appropriate for her to go, ordinary people, and they really can't hurt her." ”
Fang Caihe slapped the table and stood up, a glint in his eyes was like a sharp sword out of the sheath, An Nantian saw this and hurriedly said: "My fault! My fault! I'm sorry, I don't take it as an example!"
"And next time, next time you go by yourself!" Fang Caihe walked out of the house, leaving another sentence in the air: "A big man, don't talk about sorry all day long!"
