Chapter 017: Classmates
By the Lethe River, Angel was still looking in the direction of the Soul Eater Flower District.
"Kiki, go back, it seems that he can't get over, so it may be a relief for him. Our An family has made all the efforts, and I think with Zhou Gongzi's character, he will definitely understand. An Nantian said.
"Father, I want to wait. Brother Xiaobai didn't come over, but there was no news from Ximen that he had seen Xiao Yuyao's sedan chair. An Qi said quite calmly, her intuition told her that nothing happened to Du Xiaobai.
"The Xiao family of the Spirit Butterfly clan has always acted with a clear love and hate. You handed over the pointer of the Fire Dragon Clan to that Du Xiaobai, which is not wrong, but if this Du Xiaobai caused the Xiao family to be injured or had an accident, and the Xiao family found out afterwards that we were using them, they would definitely be angry with us in the end. Although the Spirit Butterfly Clan has remained neutral all year round, does not participate in wars and does not fight for hegemony, most of the medicine and healers in the underworld come from the Spirit Butterfly, even if we are the leaders of the underworld on the surface, we are also afraid of him. Plus Xiao Yuyao and your past ......," An Nantian said worriedly.
"Xiao Yuyao ......"
Angel knows Xiao Yuyao's temper too well, love is love, hate is hate, clean is like the snow on the top of the Virgin Mary's Mountain, in her world, there is only white and black, no gray.
"The gold on this Du Xiaobai is indeed the key to what his father has planned. If he can't get through, it will also be his fate, and it may also be the doom of the entire underworld. However, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and my father believes that there will always be a way, the fire dragon clan has ruled the underworld for hundreds of years, and I believe that this hurdle can also be passed. An Nantian's voice was not loud, but it was loud.
"Father, although Brother Xiaobai is not a person who practices martial arts, but for some reason, I believe that he must be able to get by, maybe something went wrong in the middle......" Anqi's eyes were like torches, extremely calm.
When An Nantian heard An Qi's words, he sighed secretly, he knew his baby daughter too well, if he hadn't been so obsessed and competitive back then, he wouldn't have a grudge with the Spirit Butterfly Clan, perhaps, the underworld should be a different situation now.
At this time, in Pei Qingqing's house, the family was already eating. Yun Yun leaned Du Xiaobai on the side of the bed and insisted on feeding him personally, Du Xiaobai was a little embarrassed, he really didn't fit for others to serve him like this.
Xiao Shuang, who was eating on the table, blinked her eyes and asked, "Uncle Xiaobai, every soul has a guide, what about your guide?
Pei Lao, who was eating on the side, almost choked, but since Xiaoshuang asked this question that he was embarrassed to ask, he might as well prick up his ears and listen to what Du Xiaobai said.
Du Xiaobai smiled and said: "Uncle originally had a girl to lead the way, and when she took me to the Soul Devouring Flower Area, I found that I couldn't get through, and then she told me that I could pass under the protection of your sister Yaoyao's sedan chair, and then it became like this." ”
Du Xiaobai briefly said the general situation, but concealed An Qi's name.
"Master, and there are girls as guides?" Xiaoshuang turned her head and asked Pei Qingqing strangely.
Pei Qingqing was suddenly asked by Xiaoshuang, but he didn't know how to answer, and said vaguely: "It should be...... Yes......"
Xiao Cang picked up the rice in the bowl while answering beside him: "This sister is really well-informed, and she also knows that Sister Yaoyao's sedan chair can defend against flower poison ......"
Du Xiaobai said a little embarrassed: "Yes...... yes, she seems to know these things very well......"
"Xiaocang Xiaoshuang, hurry up and eat, Xiaoshuang, I'll help the master go to the city to deliver something in a while. Pei Qingqing was afraid that Du Xiaobai would be too embarrassed, so he interrupted Xiaoshuang Xiaocang's train of thought, and by the way, he put a piece of meat in the bowl, raised his head and picked up rice in his mouth, covering his face.
"Oh......" Xiaoshuang stuck out her tongue and lowered her head to continue eating.
Xiao Cang on the side covered his nose with a large bowl, and his eyes swirled around Du Xiaobai.
In fact, Pei Qingqing, like Xiao Yuyao, roughly guessed who brought him to the underworld the moment he saw the watch in Du Xiaobai's hand.
The fire dragon clan leads the way, it is the unique treasure of the fire dragon clan's An family, and those who are qualified to wear this must be the family members of the An family. In addition, this person knows that Xiao Yuyao's sedan chair can prevent poison, and the eight or nine is the eldest lady of the An family, Anqi.
It's just that they don't know why, Annan Tian will be willing to let his baby daughter go on this trip to bring such a soul back, there should be their intentions.
Pei Qingqing knew very well about Xiao Yuyao and Anqi's holiday, and his mind was as exquisite as Xiao Yuyao, so he must have guessed who the owner of the watch was. But Xiao Yuyao didn't ask a word more, so she definitely couldn't say more. Otherwise, if the question is too deep and everyone is embarrassed in the end, it will be difficult to end. Moreover, judging from what Xiao Yuyao said when she left, she wanted to protect this benefactor, so she shouldn't embarrass her master's family.
After eating, Yun Yun asked Du Xiaobai to lie down and rest, the toxins in Du Xiaobai's body have not been completely cleared, and he still needs to continue to recuperate. According to Pei Lao, it will take at least four or five days before he can walk on the ground.
After Du Xiaobai lay down, he thought about Anqi in his heart. I don't know if this hot-tempered girl is still waiting at the ferry of the Lechuan River, she is like this, she can't walk, let alone rush to the ferry. When I first arrived, I didn't know much about the people and things in the underworld, so I still tried to talk as little as possible. An Qi and Xiao Yuyao take care of themselves very well, but sometimes, their friends A and B are not necessarily friends, and his experience in the workplace has made him understand that it is not wrong to be cautious before clearly judging the form.
At this time, in the outhouse, Pei Qingqing was holding a small square bag in his hand, called Xiaoshuang to his side, and explained carefully: "Xiaoshuang, you go to the Stone Elephant Castle and send this to the Shi family, the city lord of the Stone Elephant Castle." Remember, you must personally hand it over to the Shi family's big butler, Shi Grouper. The grouper, with a fist-sized birthmark on the right eye, is easy to identify. If you can't meet him for a while, you can find a hotel around and stay for a few days until he returns, and if you see a grouper, he will naturally give you some money to send you away. It is important to remember that it must be handed over to this person. If you can't wait for him after ten days, you will come back the way you came. ”
"Do you have to go? I don't want to go. Xiaoshuang's eyes were closed, and her face was full of reluctance.
"You kid, the master still can't tell you, don't you, you must go! Do you remember what I said?" Pei Qingqing said angrily.
"Remember!stop!!" Meng Xiaoshuang pursed her lips, stuffed the square bag into her clothes, put on a shoulder bag of her clothes, turned around and walked out of the house, and went in the direction of Lanshan.
Pei Qingqing looked at Xiaoshuang's figure gradually walking away, shook his head, but his mind was thinking about the blood test results he had seen in the pharmacy just now, and he was uncertain.
Outside the house, Yun Yun was washing Du Xiaobai's clothes, Xiao Cang was tending to the flower pots, Pei Qingqing thought twice, gently closed the door, and turned around to Du Xiaobai's bed in the inner room. Seeing that Du Xiaobai was sleeping soundly, Pei Qingqing quietly pulled a stool and sat down, took his arm out of the quilt, closed his eyes, and carefully examined his pulse.
After a moment, Pei Qingqing shook his head gently.
"What's the matter, Pei Lao?" Du Xiaobai had already woken up.
Pei Qingqing stared at Du Xiaobai and said, "Xiaobai, now there are only you and me in the house, let's open the skylight and say something." I know you still can't trust us a little bit, but after thinking about it, I feel like I have to talk to you. ”
Du Xiaobai looked at Pei Lao's clear eyes and nodded: "Pei Lao, please speak." ”
Pei Lao moistened his throat and said, "Before I say that, I want to confirm two things with you, and I also hope that you can answer me truthfully." ”
Du Xiaobai was silent for a few seconds, then nodded: "Okay!"
Pei Lao said: "The first thing is, is the girl who brought you to the underworld called Anqi?"
Du Xiaobai's eyes widened instantly, and his face became red.
What he always wanted to deliberately hide, but he didn't expect others to know about it, Du Xiaobai felt a little at a loss, and couldn't say a word.
Pei Qingqing had already gotten the answer from Du Xiaobai's expression, and continued: "Xiaobai, you don't have to be embarrassed, I know that you are for An Qi's good, so you didn't expose her name." Actually, you don't have to worry, I don't have any malicious intent, because Kiki is my student herself. ”
Du Xiaobai was surprised: "Learn ...... Student: Angel is a student of Pei Lao?"
Pei Qingqing nodded, looked out the window, and said slowly: "Yes, I have taught a lot of students in my life, and there are four children who are very good, and all four of them are studying art with me at the same time, Qiqi and Yaoyao are two of them." ”
"These two people are still classmates. Du Xiaobai was a little surprised, and then suddenly said: "Oh~~ No wonder, I said how can Anqi know so well that Miss Xiao's sedan chair can be anti-virus......"
"At that time, among the four children, in addition to their two girls, there were two boys, namely Wu Yuan, the youngest son of the Ice Moth Clan's martial family, and Shi Ning, the fourth son of the Stone Elephant Clan's Shi family. The four of them are gifted and intelligent, and they are the best among their peers, among which Shi Ning and Yaoyao are the first. Yaoyao and Qiqi, two girls, although they are good sisters, have very different personalities. Yaoyao's personality is as quiet as a distant mountain, she likes to hide everything in her heart, and she is never willing to trouble others. Kiki has a fiery personality, she is a child who can't hide things, all her thoughts are written on her face, and you must have known a little bit about her if you have some contact with her. Pei Qingqing looked at Du Xiaobai and said.
Du Xiaobai remembered the scene of Angel pulling the collar of his clothes, closed his eyes and nodded vigorously, thinking deeply.
Pei Lao smiled knowingly: "It's normal that you are not easy to trust others when you first come to the underworld. I'm telling you all of this in the hope that it will help you dispel some of your wariness. ”
Du Xiaobai said: "Old Pei, I can see that Miss Xiao and Miss An are both nobles in the underworld, if you can tell me about this private relationship, I believe you must have no ill will towards me." Pei Lao, you can rest assured to ask, I must know everything and say everything. ”
Pei Lao nodded appreciatively, and then said, "The second thing is, did you shed this kind of five-colored blood before you died?"
Du Xiaobai thought for a moment, nodded and said, "As Pei Lao said, in the world, I have indeed shed this kind of five-colored blood. ”
Pei Qingqing was confirmed by Du Xiaobai, slowly raised his head, exhaled a deep breath, and sighed: "Sure enough." ”
Du Xiaobai asked, "Elder Pei, does it have anything to do with me entering the third stage of corpse madness?"
Pei Qingqing lowered his head and said: "The test results of your blood came out just now, although it is not a comprehensive examination, but there is an indicator that is obvious, coupled with your current confirmation, I can basically be sure that when you were in the human world, you have been poisoned, and I believe that your condition and the poisonous water of the Lechuan River should be somehow related." ”
