Fall in love with an NPC

The three little fellows walked stealthily, and within a few steps, Xi He turned around and stared at Xiao Daimao for a long time with his eyes puffed out.

"What... what's the matter?" The little boy with a very weak sense of presence couldn't help asking, but Xiao Dai Mao didn't seem to notice it, and his expression didn't change a single bit.

Xi He ignored him and stared at Xiao Daimao: "I warn you, I'm helping you get things to fight against the priest, not to help you."

Xiaodaimao grinned: "I know."

This kid's smile is really annoying, Xi He feels that he doesn't want to see this kind of smile, as if nothing can defeat him, it's just a human child, could it be that there is something wrong with his head?But... Forget it, they all promised to help him.

Qu Tong, who watched the whole process, also felt that the child was different, but he had a different brain circuit from Xi He. He wondered whether it was because of some unknown abilities of the seeds of the sacrificial golden tree that made this child a little strange.

Xi He told the two children that he would go in first to check the situation and see where the things were, and let the two of them find a hidden place outside and hide them well. It is barely visible in a luxuriant clump of salix.

Qu Tong did not stay where he was, but went in again with Xi He. The patriarch and priest were not there, and the behavior of the mermaids was even more dissolute. Seeing Xi He enter the arena, everyone restrained a little.

It can be seen that Xi He is no stranger to such a scene, and at the same time, he does not want to hide his distaste for this scene.

"Where did little son go? The patriarch has been looking for you." A mermaid came up and asked respectfully.

Xi He didn't give him a good look, at such a young age, he learned the official accent very well: "Where's my father?" His tone was haughty, his stature seemed to be looking at people through his nostrils, and he looked down on anyone.

"I went to place the fetish with the priest, and I just left." The mermaid replied respectfully as if he didn't feel Xi He's contempt.

"Where did you go?" Xi He pretended to be casual and asked, "I heard that the priest brought back a sacred object, but I haven't seen it yet."

"The patriarch said that it will be enshrined in the priest's bedroom and let the priest take care of it every day. It must be to let the priest preside over the placement ceremony."

"Understood." Xi He shook his sleeves and left.

Qu Tong nodded secretly. This kid has been putting on airs since he was a child, but he seems to have a way of doing it.

As soon as Xiao Daimao saw Xi He appearing, he took the initiative to drill out of the willow bushes, "How is it? Where are my things?"

Xi He glanced at him up and down, feeling that this kid was not pleasing to the eye, but he didn't understand why he wanted to help him in a soft heart. In fact, it wasn't to antagonize the priest, but he would not admit it.

"In the priest's bedroom, you can't get it back. You two go now, and I can still pretend that I don't know anything."

The little boy who was left out at the side agreed very much when he heard this, and began to persuade Xiao Daimao: "Why don't you go, if everything is gone, it will be gone, what is life important?"

"I'm not leaving!" Xiao Daimao shook off the grasped arm, turned around and stared at Xi He, his gaze was firm: "Where is the priest's dormitory? I must get my things back!"

Xi He frowned and looked at him, his eyes full of puzzlement: "Then what is it? Why do you care so much? You don't even want your life? It doesn't matter if it is eaten?"

"That's my friend, my best friend." Xiaodaimao said slowly, "I picked it up in Shuiting Forest three years ago. He saved my mother's life and mine. He will still play with me, he does not belong to you, your priest, it is wrong to snatch him over."

"Isn't that a god? Is it a person?" This was beyond Xi He's cognition, and he remembered what he knew: "But, I heard that the only human being brought back by the priest is you."

"It's a bead." Xiao Daimao gestured the size again, "There is a little doll inside, the little doll will become a big brother, and will play with me in dreams, he is alive, he doesn't belong here, I'm taking him home."

Xi He was confused when he heard this, but he realized that this boy must not be able to persuade him to leave. Anyway, he couldn't understand the priest's way of showing off his power all day long, so he decided to take advantage of this boy tonight to turn against him.

Qu Tong was terrified when he heard it. There was indeed a child-like outline in the seeds of the sacrificial golden tree, but...according to the child, he had never heard of it. A should not know, otherwise he would definitely tell him.

"Are you sure you want to go get that bead with me?"

Xiaodai Mao nodded solemnly, Xi He was satisfied, and made a reluctant look: "Okay, I can take you there, but if you are caught, I will definitely not help you, hey, what are you doing ..." Xi He wanted to break free from his grasped hand, but he was afraid that his sharp claws would hurt the kid in front of him, so he didn't dare to make a real move, and was very annoyed.

"Thank you!" Xiao Daimao held his hand, and finally gave him a firm hug.

Human hugs are disgusting.

Xi He can imagine that from now on, he will have a psychological shadow that lasts for a month.

"Can I...can I say something?" Another child who had been neglected by the side finally found the opportunity to speak.

"Say it." Xi He returned to his previous nondescript and domineering look.

"I just want to go home now." The child was submissive, worried that the two in front of him would not agree, but he really didn't have any obsessions, and it was a fluke to be able to escape. According to the little strange fish in front of him, they went to get that What kind of beads, nine times out of ten, they won't come back. He doesn't want to take risks, but in any case, he escaped thanks to the blessing of this little fool he just met. He is a little embarrassed to say these words.

It's just that if you don't say anything now and follow them silently, there will be no way back.

Xiaodai Mao seemed to have just remembered him, without the expected frustration or anger at all, "Ah", "I almost forgot about you." He turned to look at the host, "Little mermaid, you put me first Send your friends back."

The little boy lowered his head, and when he said "friend", he felt a little heavy in his heart.

Xi He's eyes widened in an instant, and he was so angry: "You have no tutor, you call me a strange fish, and a mermaid, which annoys me. I will order someone to boil you now!"

Xiao Daimao scratched his head: "I thought that's what you were called. I'm sorry, what should I call you? Do you have names too?"

"Nonsense!" After hearing this apology that was neither humble nor overbearing, Xi He's mood suddenly became less bad, but his face was still stinky, and he said angrily, "My name is Xi He."

Xiaodaimao nodded seriously: "I remember, my name is Chu Xin, what about you? What's your name?" He turned around and asked that he had a weak sense of presence. At this time, he only wanted a "new friend" with an even weaker sense of presence. .

"Bai Lu." The child said listlessly, it was obvious that he was very burdened.

Chu Xin patted Bai Lu's shoulder, "Where is your home?"

"Tianyu City." Bai Lu didn't have the confidence to speak, and Chu Xin straightened her waist: "My home is in Mingyang Town. When I go back, I will go find you."

Bai Lu finally moved away from staring at her feet, and focused on Chu Xin's face: "Then you must come back."

"Yeah." Chu Xin nodded with a smile.

Qu Tong sighed lightly. In the story, this is equivalent to setting a flag.

I hope not, if this little guy can't escape in the end, Qu Tong feels that there will be shadows in his heart, this kid is too special.

Xi He has a headache enough for Chu Xin, and he has no patience for Bai Lu, "Come with me."

Qu Tong followed the three children with a sense of surreal unreality. Although he knew that he was a passer-by, and although he knew that it would be meaningful to revisit this period of history, he couldn't help but want to intervene.

Something big will definitely happen tonight, he doesn't want any child to have an accident, but he can only remain silent as a bystander.

Now it seems that the one in the worst mood may be him, the only adult.

Xi He has been bringing the two children to the Lin River. Although Qu Tong has no body, he probably won't die or dissipate, but he still feels dizzy when he sees the river subconsciously. He knows it's a psychological effect.

"Did you see it? There is a small boat over there. Get on it and it will take you to the other side." Xi He pointed to Bai Lu in the direction, but Bai Lu was still a child after all, "This... the water is not good. Will there be something?"

"It must not be at this time." Xi He said with a blank expression on his face, "All the fish are gathering together and waiting to eat you. No one wants to miss the delicious food of the children. If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave in a while."

Bai Lu was terrified, but walked towards the direction of the boat and stopped again. Chu Xin saw that he was really scared, so she stepped forward to comfort him: "Actually, it's just getting dark, it's not that scary, look at that side." His finger pointed to the other side of the river, "After crossing this river, you can run straight ahead until you reach a place where there are people, and you can go home."

Bai Lu clenched his fists, "After I go back, I will report to my parents that I am safe, and I will wait for you at your house."

Chu Xin nodded her head and smiled: "Okay."

After getting a response, Bai Lu made up his mind and trotted towards the docking position of the boat. Chu Xin and Xi He kept standing there watching, and no one made a sound.

When she saw Bai Lu boarding the boat and waving at them from a distance, Chu Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

Xi He looked at the lonely little luotou beside him, and obviously had a desire to run over, but in the end he chose to stay: "You still have a chance to choose, after a while, you really can't go."

Chu Xin shook her head, "I want to get back what belongs to me, he doesn't belong here, I want to take him with me."

Qu Tong was standing a little far away from them, and he couldn't suppress his psychological barrier to get close to Linhe, especially when it was so dark, but he suddenly remembered his nightmare.

A little boy was crying by the Rin River.

Bai Lu has already left, and probably won't come back again, so, is the little boy in his dream Xi He or... Chu Xin?

The author has something to say: the names of the two little radish heads can be regarded as small easter eggs, and there will be a small explanation at the end of the story.
