Chapter 135: What Is Loyalty?
As soon as I walked to the front yard, I met Ming Wenbai.
"Brother Little Lamb......" Ming Wenbai took two steps forward, suddenly paused, looked around, and stopped talking.
"Huh?" Liang Xingyang looked at him suspiciously, and his tail note rose slightly, "Xiaowen has something?" ”
"That ......" Ming Wenbai scratched his head, hesitated for a moment, and then said thoughtfully: "I have one thing I want to tell you, that is, the day I went to Tianguang City to deliver the letter, ......"
As soon as he was halfway through his words, he saw Liang Xingyang staring straight behind him, with a surprised face, and said loudly: "Why did Xiaoxi come out?" ”
Ming Wenbai's whole body stiffened, the words on his lips disappeared automatically, and his neck turned his head stiffly.
Seeing that Xiaoxi was wearing a red-bottomed flower dress, he was standing not far behind him at this time, with an innocent smile on his white and glowing face, and under the moonlight, a pair of eyes were dark and faint, revealing a bit of gloom for no reason.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”
Almost the moment they made eye contact, Ming Wenbai's heartbeat accelerated suddenly, and an indescribable cold air rushed from the soles of his feet to the Tianling Gai!
"Little ...... Little Joy ......"
Looking at the bottomless black eyes of the innocent child in front of him, Ming Wenbai's throat was a little dry, and he reluctantly pulled the corners of his stiff mouth, wanting to say something.
However, Liang Xingyang did not give him this opportunity.
He stepped forward to Ming Wenbai's side, lowered his eyes and looked at the little girl in front of him, with a light smile on his face as always, and asked softly, "Why did you come out?" More deeply exposed, hurry back to your room to rest. ”
Xiaoxi blinked, his eyes turned around Liang Xingyang and Ming Wenbai, and he said with a confused expression: "Big brother, am I bothering you?" Xiaoxi didn't mean it, Xiaoxi just wanted to send Sister Meihua. ”
It turned out to be a coincidence!
Hearing her words, Ming Wenbai immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Liang Xingyang smiled undiminishedly, reached out and stroked her head, and said gently: "Children can't stay up late, so let's go back and rest." ”
“…… Oh. Xiaoxi obediently responded, but her feet didn't move, and she looked up at him, "Big brother, is Sister Meihua okay?" ”
Liang Xingyang thought of the heartbroken appearance of Meihua before leaving, with a slight smile on his face, and sighed lightly, "How can it be okay if a loved one dies?" ”
"Huh?" Xiaoxi looked dazed, as if she didn't understand the meaning of death, and continued to ask: "It's just death, is it so sad?" ”
Actually, what I want to say is that they are just sisters, and if they die, they will die, so what is there to be sad about? Not parents.
Demon beasts are different from humans, they don't have much affection, some just have survival instincts, not only will they kill each other, but it is even more common for brothers and sisters to kill each other.
Therefore, Xiaoxi did not understand why Meihua was so sad. Shouldn't we be happy that there is one less object to seize the resources of the clan?
Her face was full of confusion, and she stared at Liang Xingyang without blinking.
Liang Xingyang was stunned, looking a little surprised, as if he didn't expect Xiaoxi to ask this question. Looking at Xiaoxi's innocent face, Liang Xingyang groaned for a moment and replied, "Because of love." ”
"Love?"
"Hmm." Liang Xingyang bowed his head lightly and asked, "Do you know what the biggest difference between humans and animals and demon beasts is?" ”
"Human beings are weak, demon beasts are strong, but God always favors the weak, so the biggest difference between humans and demon beasts is that people are lucky and are tolerated everywhere, but demon beasts are suppressed everywhere." Xiaoxi said with a serious face.
When Liang Xingyang heard this, he was stunned for a few seconds, then quickly came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Wrong, the biggest difference between humans and demon beasts is because people have sentient ......."
"I don't understand."
"You're still young, you'll understand later."
Liang Xingyang said as he led Xiaoxi to the direction of the backyard, the two of you said a word, I said a word, and it seemed that he had completely forgotten Ming Wenbai behind him.
Ming Wenbai opened his mouth, but he didn't open his mouth to stop Liang Xingyang, stood in place for a while, looked dejected, and raised his legs to follow behind the two.
Unexpectedly, just around the corner, a pale hand suddenly stretched out from the darkness, grabbed him by the collar with unmistakable precision, and pulled it abruptly to the side!
"Ahh
Ming Wenbai was taken aback, and just as he wanted to open his mouth to call for help, he was covered by someone.
He was terrified and subconsciously struggled. At this time, there was a mocking laugh in his ears, "So afraid of death and cowardly, you still want to make small moves behind my back?" ”
As the words fell, a pair of black-gold eyes gradually became clear in the darkness.
It turned out to be gluttony.
Ming Wenbai was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, when he suddenly thought of what Tao Tao had just said, his whole heart came up again, he blinked his eyes, his eyes were full of innocence and obedience, "Lord Tao, what are you talking about, I don't understand." ”
Gluttony let go of his hand, glanced at him, and said with a smile: "You want to betray me?" ”
"Nothing to do! There is absolutely no way I can betray you! Ming Wenbai straightened his waist and said with a serious expression: "Don't say that my life is still in your hands, even if I am not poisoned, I will be impressed by your charm, how can I betray you?" ”
For his words, gluttony will be skeptical.
"Didn't you just prepare to complain to Liang Xingyang?"
"How is that possible?" Ming Wenbai shouted wronged, "You are noble by nature, your every move is above board, and there is no misconduct, where can I find your fault?" How to complain to Liang Xingyang? Even if I really say it, but in the face of you who are so frank and as noble as an orchid, I'm afraid that no one will believe my nonsense! ”
Gluttony thought about it, and it was really like this. He really didn't have anything to make a small report. After a few seconds of silence, he bowed his head and said, "You're right, that's the case." It seems that Uncle Ben has misunderstood you. ”
Ming Wenbai hurriedly said: "You are cautious, it is very worth learning." ”
Gluttony let out a "hmm" and did not refute him, obviously agreeing with his statement.
"Since you're back, continue to monitor the poor and strange people, and let me know as soon as there is any change."
After that, he threw an antidote pill to him as a reward, and then Shi Shiran left.
Ming Wenbai stood still and did not move, looking respectful, watching him go away, until he could no longer see his figure, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.
As soon as he wanted to leave, he turned around and faced Qian Qi's expressionless face.
"Ahh He let out a short scream from his mouth, and when he saw that the person who came was Qiqi, he saw that the other party's thin eyebrows were slightly twisted, as if he was very displeased, and quickly reached out to cover his mouth.
"Little ...... Lord Xiaoqi, when did you come, it almost scared me to death. ”
"Just when you swore never to betray gluttony." Qi Qi looked him up and down, as if he had known him for the first day, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be quite loyal to him." ”
"How can you!" Ming Wenbai's scalp was numb, and he hurriedly explained: "I'm coaxing him!" If you want me to say, he's been making a lot of small moves lately! ”
Almost without Qi Qi asking, Ming Wenbai took the initiative to shake off the glutton's recent behavior. At the end, he also guessed: "I think that Xiaoxi must have an ulterior secret with him!" Otherwise, why did she come as soon as I sent the letter? ”
Qi Qi didn't expect that Tao Tao would let Ming Wenbai deliver the letter, so he was surprised in his heart, and quickly replayed Xiaoxi's past behavior in his mind, and did not find anything abnormal.
"Didn't you send the wrong person?"
Perhaps, the letter was not for Xiaoxi at all.
"Absolutely, yes." Ming Wenbai slapped his chest with a "bang", and repeatedly promised: "What he said was to send it to Da Niu's house in Xinghua Village, and said that someone would take the initiative to find me as soon as I arrived!" That day, as soon as I walked to the door of Da Niu's house, Xiaoxi came out and took the initiative to ask me for something gluttonous! Is it possible to be wrong, you say? If I'm wrong, the gluttony will definitely attack me just now! ”
"From this, the two of them are in the same group!"
Qi Qi frowned and said, "But Xiaoxi doesn't have the breath of a demon beast on his body. ”
Gluttony tends to be big, looks down on the weak Terrans, and is unlikely to make friends with the Terrans. Not to mention that the other party is still a young child, he is simply the weakest of the weak.
"It's weird." Ming Wenbai raised his eyebrows and pondered, and guessed: "Perhaps, Xiaoxi has a special way of hiding the aura?" ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw Qi Qi flick an eye knife over lightly, "Are you questioning my ability?" ”
Among the demon beasts, she is the smartest, and her cultivation is also the highest, she can't hide her breath, let alone other demon beasts!
Ming Wenbai shrank his head and whispered, "I just said it casually and guessed." ”
Fortunately, Qi Qi didn't bother with him, and after thinking for a while, he spoke: "Xiaoxi will temporarily live in Xuanzhen Temple during this time, you can monitor her more to see if you can find some clues." ”
"Yes." Ming Wenbai nodded in response and promised, "I will keep a good eye on her and try my best to pull out her fox tail." ”
Qi Qi gave a dispensable "um", and explained a few more words uneasily, asking him not to just spy on Xiaoxi and forget about a few other people, and only then turned around and left after he repeatedly assured that none of them would fall behind.
"Whew-"
Finally sent away another "plague god"!
Ming Wenbai cheered a little in his heart, raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, didn't dare to delay any longer, and ran quickly into the room, lest he encounter other people's "concerned questions" again.
I was worried all the way, until I entered my room smoothly and closed the door, Ming Wenbai was completely relieved, and the whole person seemed to collapse, slowly sliding against the door and sitting on the ground.
Although the room was dark, what gave Ming Wenbai a full sense of security at this time.
That's nice.
Finally back.
On the way, I didn't encounter the robbery of the bandit trio of Chaos, Nerd, and Jiang Lianshan. I didn't meet Liang Xingyang, so I didn't have to rack my brains to deal with his inquiries.
What's more, I didn't meet Xiaoxi!
Thinking of Fang Cai's glance in the front yard, Ming Wenbai swallowed his saliva, and was afraid for a while. I always feel that Xiaoxi is not as simple as it seems, especially when the other party still has dealings with gluttony.
Now that her identity is unknown, and I don't know the enemy, it seems that it is still necessary to avoid her, and it is better to meet her less!
Ming Wenbai was thinking in his heart, got up in the dark, and was about to light the candles in the room, when at this moment, the candles in the room suddenly lit up!
Under the faint candlelight, Xiaoxi sat on the round stool, her little feet dangling, looking at him with a smile on her face......
