It took a long time for the old man to come to his senses, and most of his white hair, braided beard, and brush-like nose hair had been burned off, and his head looked like a burnt garlic.

Tao Xiaozhi and Huo Xing wiped the dirt off the old man with pigtails and carefully pulled him out. The big noodle-like thing wrapped around the old man with braids burned black and curled, and with a flick of his finger, it would become shattered, and it no longer had the original stickiness and other strange properties. They slapped the old man off the dirt and the shattered noodles for the old man. Fortunately, although the old man's clothes were burned to the ground, he could barely cover his ugly body. The most important thing is that the body wrapped in the clothes did not suffer much damage, only minor burns, although only minor injuries, but the hot feeling and the fear in his heart were enough to make him have nightmares for several nights.

Huoxing straightened the old man's charred and unkempt hair, and Tao Xiaozhi held his head up and lay half-there. Huoxing wiped a handful of tears and said, "Dear uncle, how are you?"

"I'm fine。。。。。。 The old man with the braided eyes closed slightly, and his chapped lips trembled, "I can't die yet, don't worry." I have a bottle of pills in my arms, it is a painkiller, it was originally intended for a sick dog, you can help me take it out!"

Huoxing took out the medicine from the old man with pigtails, fed the old man with pigtails a few pieces, and fed a few melons and melons.

Huoxing tears and snot flowed together, "How are you feeling now, are you feeling better?"

"I'm fine, just minor burns. The old man with pigtails groaned, "It's just that the whole body hurts hotly, as if I have peeled off several layers of skin!"

Huoxing said, "Dear uncle, how did you get these damn noodles entangled?"

The old man with the pigtails told him a little about the past.

Tao Xiaozhi said: "Is there a clue to the stupid star?"

The old man with pigtails took out the shining five-pointed star ornament on the head of the stupid star and said: "This thing was found here, and the little melon melon is also here, maybe the disappearance of the stupid star is related to these strange noodles!"

"It must have been taken away by some monster!" said Huoxing, pointing to a patch of grass that had been depressed, "It must have gone there, and the weeds there have been dragged down quite a bit!"

The weedy forest was indeed trampled on, dragging out a zigzag "road", and this "road" left a lot of that strange noodles along the way, and Huoxing's analysis is not without some reason.

"Wow, wow!" Little Guagua was still lying on the ground, screaming, with a little noodle near his nose, bubbles constantly spewing out from his single nostril, and a big sneeze from time to time.

Tao Xiaozhi touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "Xiao Guagua seems to be very sensitive to the taste of these noodles... ”

Tao Xiaozhi walked to the "road" of the crooked wild grass forest and observed it carefully. This "road" is about three feet wide, and the weeds are pressed half low, and many of the flowers and leaves of the weeds have fallen off, like the traces left by pulling a heavy sack through the weedy forest. There were still a lot of noodles on this "road", and there were a few small intermittent ditches on the ground, as if they had been scraped by a plough rake. If the stupid star was taken away by some monster as the fire star said, then what is the "sack" that is dragging it? It is obviously not the stupid star, because she is not that heavy, so how many people?

At this time, the clouds in the east were set on fire by the rising sun, and the cold left by the night was almost dispelled, and it seemed that the sun was about to come out.

"White!" The idiot ghost jumped around, his big red apple-like eyes narrowed into a line, and blood flowed out from the corners of his eyes, which showed that he was indeed very afraid of strong light, and he was a veritable "ghost"! The idiot ghost opened his mouth and spewed out a white cloud-like air mass "ho-ho-ho", completely enveloping himself. Tao Xiaozhi finally understood why he was spraying those white clouds-shaped air masses: not to attack people, but to hide himself, and the most important thing was to block the strong light and keep himself from harm!

Cute and stupid Xiaobai, Tao Xiaozhi secretly cheered, you are a good ghost and not an evil ghost! Others say that you are a bad ghost, but I always believe that you are not, and I really didn't misunderstand you!

Tao Xiaozhi smirked at the sky again, self-absorbed.

"Damn the yellow race!" "Huoxing waved a fly swatter and slapped it directly at Tao Xiaozhi's face, "Are you still going to find my cousin? Still looking for stars in the sky, how can the stupid star be there?! The sun is about to come out!"

With a "snap", Tao Xiaozhi was woken up.

"Let's go find the stupid star now!" Tao Xiaozhi raised his arms and shouted, "Everyone come with me, you must get the stupid star back!"

"Is my cousin really following this path?" Vulcan was skeptical of his own speculation, "Besides, what should my uncle do? ”

"I don't carry him!" Tao Xiaozhi said, "Let Xiaobai carry him away!

"He's a ghost... ”

"For nothing!" Tao Xiaozhi shouted at the white cloud-shaped air mass, "You come out!"

The idiot ghost really jumped out, Tao Xiaozhi handed over the pigtailed old man to him, and Huoxing also picked up the little melon. So, the three of them, a pet and a ghost followed the traces left by the imaginary monster, towards the trajectory that might have been the disappearance of the stupid star, all the way down, all the way to the wild.

"Everyone should follow me closely and don't get separated!" Tao Xiaozhi shouted all the way.

In fact, it was Tao Xiaozhi who wanted to keep up with the pace of the fire star and the idiot ghost, because their bouncing power was beyond the reach of ordinary people, so Tao Xiaozhi struggled to catch up and almost lost his breath.

The idiot ghost screamed excitedly all the way, his tongue waving in the wind like a flag, and constantly spewing out white clouds-shaped air masses, causing Tao Xiaozhi behind him to almost get lost.

Huoxing read the name of "cute cousin" all the way, and at the same time, he did not forget to curse the noisy Tao Xiaozhi. The old man with pigtails fell asleep all the way, but the idiot ghost's body temperature was too low, and he was awakened several times. And the situation of Xiaogua Gua, everyone must already know it, what will it do except scream and blow bubbles?

In their arduous journey, they passed through the dense weedy forest, and the traces left by the monster were gone, and they continued to pursue by the sensitive nose of the little melon and the strange smell of noodles left along the way, and the ears of the little melon and the compass guided them in the direction of their progress, and they passed through a forest, crossed a swamp, climbed over a mountain, and came to the bottom of a cliff.

Eight or nine feet high on the cliff, there was a cave with a scallop-shaped entrance about the size of a big house. There were a few of the noodles scattered on the cliffs, and the pungent smell was strong.

Not far from the cliff, a clear stream flows across and moves.

"Wow, wow, wow!" the little melon screamed, squirting bubbles through one nostril, and pointing straight to the hole with both ears!

"Is my cousin really there?" said the fire star, touching the wooden hoop vine on his head.

Tao Xiaozhi looked around carefully, and a little light flashed on the gravel on the ground. Tao Xiaozhi walked over, bent down to pick it up, and was shocked: This is one of the six stars on the head of the stupid star!
