Chapter Seventy-Three: The Full Moon Makes the Griffin Home
"How's it taste?"
"Delicious. ”
Huiyue propped her chin and watched Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang drink chicken soup with relish, and her heart was happy. When the bowl was empty, she timidly asked:
"I want to come more often in the future. ”
Although Xia Xiao said it very clearly yesterday, Huiyue still wanted to affirm it, so as not to be embarrassed, she was extremely thin-skinned in this regard.
"Come on, come on, the legs are on you anyway. ”
Xia Xiao seemed to be smiling, without his usual seriousness and coldness. Huiyue and Shushuang will smile heartily, so it's fine.
Although it has been a long time since the incident of Hushanzhai, Huiyue has always felt a little self-blame and guilt in her heart, feeling that she is sorry for Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang, but she can't make up for it. Now that I can come often, I can finally do something for them.
"For the next two months, you can cultivate with peace of mind, and I will cover your food. ”
"Isn't that good?"
Xia Xiao said, and got up and went back to get the silver. There is no kitchen in this room, they eat out every meal, and it would be nice if someone brought it.
In fact, Ding Xiaosi also brought them food for a while, but now the business of Tianfu Xiaochu is so good that they can't drag it out. However, they all dragged Xia Xiao's blessings and brought them enough customers. Now in the entire Rongcheng, except for Huiyue, only Ding Qiang's brothers have dealings with Xia Xiao. Although the rest of the people have the intention of dating, they don't have the strength and courage.
Seeing the silver in Xia Xiao's hand, Huiyue's face changed.
"I don't want it!"
Xia Xiao has never liked to owe anything to others, but Huiyue's situation is special, if she insists on giving money, I am afraid that there will be contradictions. Although Xia Xiao is a careful person, he doesn't like to have conflicts. Of course, Yu Ling was not taken seriously by him.
"I'm just being polite. ”
Xia Xiao said, throwing the silver back on the bed in the room, making a few noises.
"Then I'm leaving, come back in the evening, do you have anything you want to eat?"
"Everything!"
Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang spoke in unison, making the corners of Huiyue's mouth rise, what a perfect match.
"Why don't you come to my house? ”
Huiyue was a little looking forward to it, her family bought back the previous house, it was big enough, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang had no problem living in. But Xia Xiao refused, which was also expected.
"Thank you for your kindness, but Shu Shuang and I still like to be alone. ”
"It's okay, then I'll go first. ”
Huiyue didn't procrastinate, she went straight out, she was going to buy some vegetables, and then go home to take care of her mother and Yang'er. When the meal arrives, she will come back on time.
There were only two people left in the room, Shu Shuang tugged at the corner of her clothes, and she wanted to ask, but she couldn't say it for a long time.
"What's wrong?"
Xia Xiao stood in front of Shu Shuang, lowered his head to look at her eyes, the bright eyes were a little flustered, a little happy, and a little tangled.
Looking at Xia Xiao's eyes, Shu Shuang moved her eyes, took a shy step back, and leaned against the wall. Suddenly, a feeling of excitement and magic spread throughout the body, making Shu Shuang look forward to it.
"That...... Is what you just said to Yu Ling true?"
Xia Xiao just said that it would be good to find a girl like himself as a female companion, is he talking about himself, or is he just like himself? Shu Shuang is delicate, and Xia Xiao also understands that although he has no emotional experience, he is not so stupid, so he nodded:
"Really, if we could, I hope we keep going like this!"
Xia Xiao looked at Shu Shuang and looked at each other for a long time. After knowing each other for more than two months, he has developed a dependence on the latter and cannot leave. Xia Xiao is even used to calling Shu Shuang's name, and the first thing he does when he gets up every day is to find Shu Shuang and see what she is doing.
"It's going to go on forever. ”
Shu Shuang's face was red, and she stepped forward shyly and hugged Xia Xiao. The latter was a little taller than her, and his chin was so good on top of her head.
Xia Xiao felt that he should say something more at this time, and he couldn't spoil the scene, but after holding it for a long time, he found that the love words in his stomach had zero reserves. He had never been a girl in his previous life, and in this life he was going to be chic, marry her with three wives and four concubines, be a living immortal, and squeeze her to die of nothingness, at least he was at ease, and he didn't want to encounter so many things.
Although the original idea has been dispelled, Xia Xiao still regrets it a little, he should learn a few words. In the end, he still held back his sentence.
"When you grow up, I'll tell you love words. ”
Shu Shuang was extremely happy, and her little face was immediately filled with happiness. In her eyes, this is the most beautiful love story. Usually I hear others say that she is shy and feels numb. But that kind of thing depends on who says it, and it's a great happiness to listen to the person you like say love words to yourself. And at this moment, Shu Shuang looked up at Xia Xiao, it seemed to be eternal!
What should I say next? Xia Xiao was so hot-headed that he forgot to reply to Shu Shuang.
"Hmm!"
She nodded her head happily, jumped up and hugged Xia Xiao's neck, Xia Xiao hugged her with her backhand, and she was ...... A celebration of the nine deaths. They have been awake for a day, and they are celebrating a little late, but they can make up for it.
If you want to do anything, you can find any reason. It's like giving a gift, you don't care about the holiday, you just give it because you want to give it.
"I'll give you something in the evening. ”
"What?"
Xia Xiao looked into Shu Shuang's room, but Shu Shuang stood on tiptoe and blocked his eyes.
"Don't look at it, don't look at it. ”
said that Shu Shuang, who leaked his mouth, was very cute, and pushed Xia Xiao into the room.
In the evening, in front of Huiyue, Xia Xiao received a unique gift - armor made from the bark of the ancient tree of Shenwei. Because the materials were limited, there was only a piece of bark, so Shu Shuang made the left arm and right leg, but Xia Xiao was very satisfied. This seemingly fragile armor can actually block many attacks.
Shu Shuang started preparing as soon as she woke up, and it was not completed until today, and after Xia Xiao put it on, it fit perfectly.
"That way you'll get less hurt. ”
Shu Shuang's words lingered in Xia Xiao's ears until midnight.
By the window, Xia Xiao stood for a long time, looking at the full moon in the sky, thinking about the future. Shu Shuang's words were full of distress, but injuries will only increase in the future, and I don't know when it will stop......
The cool breeze blew, and the thin clouds beside the cold moon suddenly dispersed, and then only a violent chirp was heard spreading in the Rong City.
The voice was fierce, but it was also miserable, Xia Xiao knew that it came from the fourth-order griffin.
After the spirit hunt, it was pulled back by the Lin family, and it screamed night after night.
This is not its home, and it misses its ancient tree of divine power and the huge nest on it. But what awaits it is only one anesthetic after another. Its bones were soft, but to no avail, only a scream that night, feebly calling out to its companions.
The griffon, which had penetrated into the crowd, was locked in a dark cellar, long lost its former pride, and only wanted to return. It called out to its companions and wanted to die, but the former did not wait, and the latter could not do so. The heavy iron shackles that imprison it, the everything that binds it!
Xia Xiao was also like a griffin, raised to the point of pride. No one dares to provoke in their own forest, and everyone can only surrender, but now they have fallen into the valley abyss, and it is difficult to climb up. But he's lucky, he's broken free from the ropes and leg cuffs, and he's retrained his broken wings to return to his hometown!
His eyes in the darkness gradually glowed with cold light, and Xia Xiao sat down cross-legged and made a "close" seal. He was still far from the other shore where he wanted to go, and now he had to row hard, or the cold and dusty river would pull him down into the abyss.
