Chapter 132 Save the leaves (, make up for yesterday)
It's evening. In this gloomy Qingyang City, every family has a warm orange light from the small window, which makes Xia Qiu miss the night of Yongchuan. I haven't been home for a long time. Grandpa's busy figure in the courtyard and Grandma's kind eyes are so far away from her at this moment.
With uneasiness, she followed the Heyin father and son back to the small house where they lived. The wife of Heyin has begun to prepare dinner for everyone. She has no idea about the next thing, so she has to stay at their house obediently.
Although her parents were still frustrated by what the sudden human girl said, He Ye was the happiest one all the time. He jumped like a little monkey and chatted around Xia Qiu, but he lost a lot of worries for her.
She stayed in their house for the time being. During the day, she helped Heyin's wife do some work in the herb field or at home. In her spare time, she accompanied her to play games with her. After a few days of observation, there were only two younger children around except for her, and the two children had encountered ghosts. Life is in danger.
When she heard other people in the city say that it was very rare for a child as old as He Ye to live, Xia Qiu added more pity to him in her heart. She thought that if she could have a younger brother, she really hoped that he could be as innocent and cute as He Ye.
As soon as he had lunch one day, He Ye mysteriously pulled Xia Qiu out of the room and said to her, "Sister Xia Qiu, I want to take you to see the new friends I met the day before yesterday!"
Xia Qiu nodded and followed him to the bushes on the edge of the herb field. There was a cobweb on a small tree. There was a fist-sized spider with red and yellow patterns on it. She looked carefully, and the spider was just like what she saw in the empty houses in her time and space. It should be the same kind.
He Ye tilted his head and smiled at her, and then stretched out a hand in the direction of the cobweb, and the big spider jumped into his hand.
"Poisonous!" Xia Qiu couldn't help but be nervous when she saw it. She was afraid that the leaves would be bitten by the spider. She shouted and wanted to get it out of his hand.
He turned around and rushed his back to her, protected the spider with his little body, and said proudly, "It's my new friend. Don't think it looks like this. It won't bite, at least it won't bite me. If you don't believe it, stretch out your hand!"
Although Xia Qiu was skeptical of his words, he listened to his words and stretched out his hand when he saw that the spider had not hurt him for so long.
He Ye put the big spider in her hand. His movements were very slow, for fear that he would accidentally fall it to the ground. It could be seen that he loved his friend very much.
"Nine eyes, this is Sister Xia Qiu!" He Ye introduced it to the big spider.
The spider moved a few times in Xia Qiu's palm and aimed its eyes on her. In her memory, the spider's strength should be extremely poor, but this spider is different. Nine single eyes are very divine, eight of which are black, and one is red. It turned its eyes and looked at her for a long time. Obviously, it wanted to remember. Her appearance.
"You still gave it a name?" Xia Qiu didn't think the big spider was so terrible at this time. Looking at its round body in front of her, she felt that the name He Ye was just right.
"Well, I was the first to find it on this tree, and you are the second person to see it. Jiuyan has no partner like me, a lonely one, but now I have Sister Xia Qiu with me, so I want to introduce you to it, so that it will have another friend!" When He Ye said this, his slightly melancholy cheeks looked like an adult.
"My sister came from a place more than a hundred years from now. At that time, Jiuyan had a lot of friends." Xia Qiu comforted him with a smile.
"Real? That's great! But I know I can't see what happened at that time!" He stretched out his hand again and said, and the big spider obediently jumped on his hand and let him touch it back and forth.
Xia Qiu heard the meaning of his words. Although he seemed carefree on the surface, he actually knew a lot about ghosts in his heart. He must have deliberately pretended to be fast-hearted in order not to make his parents sad. Thinking about this, she finally couldn't hold back her tears, so she had to look at the sky.
At night, she and He Ye slept in two ** in the inner room, just like a few days after she came here. Heyin's wife watched her son fall asleep and went to the outer room. When Heye saw that she was out, she turned over and rushed to Xia Qiu's direction and asked, "Sister Xia Qiu, are you asleep?"
Xia Qiu also answered him and said, "Huh?"
He Ye told her, "Don't tell my father and mother about the nine-eyed thing. That's our secret!" I'm afraid they won't let me play with Jiuyan if they know!"
Xia Qiu promised, "Okay!"
"It's a deal!" But the consonant is obviously still not reassuring, and added another sentence.
"It's a deal!"
Xia Qiu thought he would say something to himself, but there was no reply from the opposite side. After a while, there was a uniform and slightly heavy breathing sound. She knew that he was asleep, so she closed her eyes.
The bright moonlight outside the window shone in, making it difficult for her to sleep. Although the life with the Heyin family during the day was very harmonious, which allowed her to temporarily forget her troubles, in the dead of night, she had to worry about the way forward.
These days, she will go to the edge of the pool almost soon, hoping that there will be another channel connecting her world in the pool, but unfortunately the channel has not appeared again. Regarding the seven-tone gate, the demon clan here has also kept her mouth shut, so that she has never got anything.
The fear of being trapped in a strange world made her helpless. How she hoped that Ouyang Xiao Leng could suddenly appear beside her and give her strength to bring her back to the original world. What if I can't go back? Should she stay in Qingyang or should she go somewhere else?
In a daze, she entered a semi-sleep state. Her body was heavy, but her brain was very awake. She recalled that she had not entered the state of soul in sleep for a while. I don't know why she entered it again in a world that did not belong to her.
About four days, the moonlight outside the window was suddenly covered by a dark shadow, bringing a chill that made her pores contract. She couldn't help waking up and quietly observing what was about to happen.
The huge dark shadow entered through the wall, bypassed the bed she was sleeping on under the window, and went straight to the bedside of He Ye. After a pause in front of the bed for a while, it cracked a big mouth-like hole from the shadow's head, and a thick pipe was stretched out from it to try to Hurt the leaves.
When she was as anxious as a spark, Xia Qiu's weak and weak body just now came from nowhere. She jumped up from ** and called out the plum blade and pointed straight to the shadow.
The shadow had to take back the pipe sticking out of its mouth, turned to Xia Qiu and waved his arms at her. Xia Qiu flashed to the side and then cut it with a knife. I don't know if it was because she was injured by her knife, and the dark shadow fled out from the wall that had entered the room before.
Xia Qiu followed without thinking about it. When she arrived outside, she found that she had passed through the wall. She was led by the dark shadow to the open space outside the house. With the help of the moonlight, the appearance of the dark shadow was revealed in front of her. It was a human-shaped black smoke. She couldn't see her facial features, and she couldn't tell the front and back.
She shook the plum blade in her hand and scolded, "Who are you? Why do you want to harm He Ye?
"He is destined to be my supporter since he was born. It's not for you as a human being. If you insist on stopping me, I can only be rude to you." The shadow answered her.
"Are you an ape red demon?" Xia Qiu remembered that they had said before that the originator of the ghost was probably the great hero of the demon clan, so she asked.
"That's right!" The shadow answered cleanly without concealing it.
"Unless you can knock me down, I will never allow you to hurt He Ye!"
After knowing the true identity of the other party, Xia Qiu calmed down a lot. She felt that she had to defeat him. The days of getting along with her day and night have made her have a kind of family-like friendship with He Ye. Although she knows the power of the ape red demon in her heart, she knows that this is not the time to retreat.
If she can defeat the strong enemy in front of her and return to her own world, then she can change history, and she and He Ye will meet again in Qingyang City more than a hundred years later. What a wonderful thing it will be. On the other hand, if He Ye survives, Kui will no longer be the only son of demons. The war between the demon horse cavalry regiment and the demon clan is likely to be avoided.
While she was thinking, the shadow challenged her. He put one hand on his back and said, "I have one hand enough to deal with such a yellow-haired girl!"
Xia Qiu rarely takes the initiative to attack, but this time she has to take the attack as a defense to find out how powerful the other party is. She jumped into the air. The first time her soul left, her body was so light. The plum blade in her hand waved a demonic cyclone and turned into a pink lightning flash to rush to the ape red demon, but he did not panic to block his arm outside.
Xia Qiu was bounced out before she realized what was going on. Then he jumped forward and almost stepped on her body. She tried to flash to one side and almost heard a muffled sound at the same time, and the sand around her was shaken up. If the strength of this foot really stepped on her, it would definitely make it to her. It's a great harm.
She knows that at such a moment, although without the help of her companions, she must cheer up and must not be overwhelmed by his momentum. She once again concentrated on launching another round of attack on the ape red demon, and waved her knife countless times, but the ape red demon could easily fight with only one hand as he said at the beginning, and as soon as he found the opportunity, he would use the stunt of jumping up and stepping down vigorously.
She knew that her chance to win would become more slim if she went on like this, so she no longer hesitated and tried to speed up the attack. Only by letting the other party do its best as soon as possible can she know whether her current strength can compete with it.
