Abyss Notes [Unlimited]

Jiang Xiao never thought that Xu Qingyuan was a good person, or in other words, an ordinary person.

As a freshman, Xu Qingyuan still remembers clearly the scene where she attacked Teacher Gu in Wujiao Town.

It's just that it never occurred to Xu Qingyuan to do such a thing.

She answered bluntly, "No need."

Xu Qingyuan looked at her with great interest. "You are still young, don't get your hands dirty." Xu Qingyuan said, "We can go back to the words that Yu Zhou used to say. If you kill someone here, there will always be a dead person lying in your heart." Turn over and get up from time to time, you won’t forget it. Either you’re like me, and you don’t care if there are too many dead people in your hands, or you just don’t move.”

Xu Qingyuan flipped his fingers, and the scissors showed sharp tips between his fingers.

"However you want him to die, I will let him die."

Jiang Xiao stared at him blankly, and asked after a long time: "Didn't you keep mocking Liu Yingnian and Yu Zhou for being unrealistic? Why, do you also think we can go back?"

Xu Qingyuan smiled: "Take it as too many lies, I believe it."

Jiang Xiao's chest rose and fell.The smile on Xu Qingyuan's face gradually faded, and Jiang Xiao's serious gaze reminded Jiang Xiao of her head teacher who always liked to reprimand her.

"...If I didn't do it, it would be meaningless." Jiang Xiao lowered his voice, "I don't want anyone to help."

Fan Xing and Yugan came back empty-handed.They couldn't find the location and breath of the bones at all.

Yu Zhou and Liu Yingnian found a few houses with wide open doors on the edge of the camp, and they could live in after tidying up.

When night fell, Lao Hu returned to the restaurant and continued his high-spirited talk.

Fan Xing originally threatened the dried fish with the small scissors, but actually eavesdropped on what Old Hu was saying, but as he listened, he found that Jiang Xiao was inside.

Pushing Yu Zhou's elbow, Fan Xing motioned him to look at Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao was beside Lao Hu, very cheerful.She was not very close to people in the past, especially men, but of course she is also proficient in how to use female body and demeanor to convey information.Having only just met Lao Hu, Jiang Xiao is surprisingly intimate: she actually looks at Lao Hu with reverent eyes.

Others who were not familiar with her didn't think there was any difference, so Yu Zhou and Liu Yingnian looked at each other in blank dismay.Xu Qingyuan waved his hand: "Sit down, don't go over."

Yu Zhou: "What happened to her?"

Xu Qingyuan: "It's normal, when you meet someone of the opposite sex who you're interested in, you're willing to say a few more words."

Yu Zhou: "...Lao Hu is so much older than her! He can be her father!"

Xu Qingyuan pointed at Yu Zhou strangely: "Age discrimination."

Liu Yingnian scratched her chin: "Jiang Xiao knew it well. Didn't she also have a good time in the Kingdom of Alga?"

But Yu Zhou felt that Jiang Xiao's state was very different then and now.He couldn't tell what was wrong, but Jiang Xiao was always faintly frightened by Lao Hu's side.

Jiang Xiaocai reluctantly said goodbye to Lao Hu Yi when the lights were turned off.The people who had gathered together to talk about the mountains had already dispersed, and only Lao Hu and Jiang Xiao were left.I don't know what they said, the voice was very low, and occasionally there were a few laughs.

When saying goodbye, Lao Hu patted Jiang Xiao on the shoulder, and rubbed his palm on her bare shoulder.

In the "Birdcage", everyone defaults to carpe diem, but Jiang Xiao is different.She is the youngest, no matter how long she stays in the "birdcage", Yu Zhou still treats her like a younger sister.He is familiar with Jiang Xiao's behavior and expression, and the communication between Jiang Xiao and Lao Hu is definitely not a prelude to carnival.

Lao Hu stayed at Xie Bai's house, and he really invited Jiang Xiao to go with him.Jiang Xiao hesitated, walked to the door and rubbed his hands nervously: "I, I made an agreement with Sister Ji to sleep together tonight."

With shyness and anticipation, the girl said, "Next time."

Lao Hu is not reluctant.He flicked his eyeballs left and right, and found Yu Zhou who seemed to be dozing off in the corner.Withdrew his hand from Jiang Xiao's shoulder, he said goodbye to Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao didn't notice Yu Zhou.Her face was shrouded in a hatred-infected gloom, and as she walked slowly towards the stairs, she kept scratching the place that Lao Hu had touched with her hands.I scratched hard, and there were a few red marks on my shoulders.

Yu Zhou sat motionless in the corner, looking up at the lamps hanging from the ceiling.He heard vomiting around the corner of the stairs.

Jiang Xiao retched for a moment, but didn't spit out anything.She just felt a kind of psychological nausea, abdominal twitching.Below the stairs is the path leading to the back door. She opened the door, and the night wind blew in, and the thin neem flowers fell from the trees like rain.

"Is that person Hu Weiyi?"

Behind him was Yu Zhou's voice.

Jiang smiled and didn't look back.

"It can't be like this, Jiang Xiao!" Yu Zhou grabbed her shoulder, turned her to face him, and then went to pick out Jiang Xiao's pocket.

From the day Lao Hu came, Jiang Xiao never wore a school uniform again.She was wearing shorts today, showing her long and strong legs, struggling in Yu Zhou's hands: "What are you doing!"

Yu Zhou really took out a knife from her pocket.

Jiang Xiao wiped his mouth and faced Yu Zhou with an expression of indifference.

"I still want to ask you what you are going to do!" Yu Zhou asked, "Are you taking this opportunity to approach him?"

"Is there any other way?" Jiang Xiao said, "One, he is not from our camp, he may leave at any time, I can't catch up with him. Two, he has dealt with the reaper, and his skills are much better than mine. Three, If I leave this 'cage', I will never meet him again."

Adventurers will not appear in the same "birdcage" repeatedly, Jiang Xiao knows better than anyone else, it is an exception that they can get together.

Yu Zhou couldn't think of any other way to persuade her, Jiang Xiao continued: "You think this is too dishonorable? Anyway, none of us are aboveboard, so it doesn't matter. As long as I can get close to him and kill him, I can do anything .Adventurers can attack adventurers,"

"I don't think about this problem at all." Yu Zhou lowered his voice, "Don't waste yourself on garbage."

He squeezed Jiang Xiao's hand very hard.

But Yu Zhou saw the painful stubbornness in Jiang Xiao's eyes.Her humiliation and fear at that time, the three-year-long "Birdcage" adventure, has become a cage.The only key is in Jiang Xiao's hand, and no words or words from anyone else can unlock it for her.

Someone clapped their hands aside.

Fan Xing nodded slightly, and said encouragingly, "I agree."

Yu Zhou: "You came just in time, please help persuade..."

Fan Xing: "I agree with what Jiang Xiao said."

Yu Zhou was stunned.Jiang Xiao laughed out loud instead: "You?"

Fan Xing: "I'm not An Liu, not as inconspicuous as it is. Not only do I agree with your idea, but I also want to create the only chance for you to kill Hu with your own hands."

Yu Zhou was furious: "Fan Xing!!!"

But his anger had no deterrent effect on Fan Xing.Fan Xing turned his head to look in the direction of Xie Bai's house, he had just walked back from there.

"When Hu Weiwei left, I followed him and chatted with him for a while." Fan Xing said, "I agreed to his request and helped the melody camp get rid of the restless harvesters. Jiang Xiao, are you coming?"

Jiang Xiao did not hesitate: "Of course."

Although there is no actual leader in the arrogant camp, Xie Bai is the person with the highest prestige.Fearing that the remaining reapers in Aojiaoyuan would make trouble, he didn't want to leave the camp at will at this time. Finally, Ji Chunyue and Wen Feng decided to set off with Fan Xing and Lao Hu.Old Hu promised to return Fan Xing's help with materials, and the couple are responsible for collecting and managing the materials.

In front of Xie Bai, Fan Xing had a heavy expression on his face: "You say you are a hero, but you still don't trust me. Are you afraid that Jiang Xiao and I will run away with something?"

Xie Bai pretended he didn't hear, and turned his head to talk to Yu Zhou in a low voice.

Yu Zhou and Fan Xing had a dispute last night because Fan Xing decided to help Jiang Xiao.

Most of the time, it was Yu Zhou who was reasoning with Fan Xing. He had never spoken so many words to Fan Xing in his life, explaining things in simple terms and analyzing them one by one. Even Liu Yingnian nodded repeatedly, expressing that he had been persuaded by Yu Zhou.

Fan Xing didn't waver at all.

Yu Zhou was furious and said that he would go too.

If he followed, the dried fish would naturally follow.Of course Xu Qingyuan and Liu Yingnian didn't want to stay in the camp alone, so everyone in the small team had to go to the melody camp.

Lao Hu was not happy at first, because there were too many people and the goal was too big on the road.But Fan Xing insisted, he had no choice but to agree.

Yu Zhou was still angry with Fan Xing in his heart, when Xie Bai talked to him, he basically went in one ear and out the other, until Xie Bai squeezed his arm a little harder.

"Yu Zhou," Xie Bai smiled, "listen to me carefully."

Yu Zhou subconsciously paused, and really looked at him obediently.This habit still can't be changed, Yu Zhou quickly said to cover up his embarrassment, "I'm going to have a word with Sister Ji."

Ji Chunyue was instructing Liu Yingnian and Jiang Xiao to load the necessary dry food and drinking water into the carriage.Originally, they planned to ride horses individually, but half of the team couldn't ride, and with the need to transport supplies, they finally pulled out a dusty carriage from the warehouse.

"Water is also needed?" Liu Yingnian asked, "It's summer in Praser Continent now, and there are plains and water veins outside. Water shouldn't be hard to find, right?"

"Drink the water that comes with you first, and really don't think about drinking water in the wild." Xu Qingyuan walked by and continued, "Water sources in the wild may be polluted, and you won't be able to detect it at all."

Ji Chunyue praised him: "You have a lot of experience in living in the wild."

Xu Qingyuan: "When working, I often run around here and there."

Ji Chunyue: "What's your job?"

Xu Qingyuan: "Hunter."

Jiang Xiao glanced at him from time to time, Xu Qingyuan walked up to her and said in a low voice: "Hush." ​​With the cold snake-like breathing and voice, Jiang Xiao cursed inwardly, and lowered his head.

After the snow in Pride and Arrogance completely melted, Vientiane was renewed, and the mountains and rivers were lush and green.For the first time they rode across vast, flat fields, and everything they saw and heard was exhilarating.

Even Algar's kingdom couldn't compare with the Platase Continent. For a moment, Yu Zhou felt confused, thinking that he was not in the "birdcage", but in the real wilderness.

He unfolded the map given by Xie Bai before his departure.The map is a simplified diagram of the continent of Praser, drawing the route from Pride Field to Camp Melody.This short route is only about one centimeter within the scope of the Praser continent.

To be able to create such a vast, real, and rich land, the mind and ability of the cage master cannot be underestimated.

It took about half of the journey in two days.The relationship between Jiang Xiao and Lao Hu is getting closer and closer. Yu Zhou can see that Ji Chunyue wanted to talk to Jiang Xiao about this matter several times, but was fooled by Jiang Xiao.

This is Fan Xing's so-called "creating opportunities": they are in a sparsely populated area, originally Ji Chunyue and Wen Feng were not among their companions, Jiang Xiao would find it easier to attack.But now it was obviously difficult, Jiang Xiao calmed down, and talked to Lao Hu step by step.

Perhaps it was because of a girl like Jiang Xiao that Hu Weiwei became less wary. During the rest of the night, he actually chatted with Jiang Xiao about something at home.

"Yes, I stayed here for so long because I wanted to obtain the key to return to the real world." Old Hu said, "The adventurers who came to Plasse know the rumor: this 'birdcage' is too special, it must be Hiding the most important secret."

Xu Qingyuan, who hadn't participated in the chat very much, interjected: "I think this rumor was spread by the cage master."

Liu Yingnian: "Why do you say that?"

Xu Qingyuan: "Didn't you say that the cage master likes to watch the adventurers and the reapers fight? If you don't leave the adventurers behind, what will the reapers fight with? Wouldn't it be boring to beat yourself up?"

His tone was frivolous, but Yu Zhou's heart moved slightly, and he subconsciously turned to look for Fan Xing.

Fan Xing was feeding the horse, some distance away from them.Others can't see it, but Yu Zhou can see the dried fish: the dried fish is chattering with the horse.

Old Hu was still talking.

He talked about his urgency to go back because his mother was still at home.

He is the only child in the family, and his mother is over 70 years old. He fell from upstairs due to a stroke. After that, he suffered from various problems intermittently. He was bedridden for a long time and could not speak clearly.

"I like to eat apples." Lao Hu recalled, "I own a fruit shop, once a week, when the shop is closed, I pick up a bag of apples for her to take."

Wen Feng nodded: "Old people are prone to this kind of thing."

Lao Hu: "The first time I had a stroke, let me think about it... 17 years, April 4th." This date seems to impress Lao Hu very much. When it comes to it, the face with uncertain light and dark in the firelight is a bit proud , but immediately, he controlled the expression on his face and changed into silence.

Wen Feng: "Did you discover it in time?"

Lao Hu: "I'm at home. When I came back from closing the store, I brought her an apple. Before I ate a couple of bites, I thought the apple was dirty and had a strange smell." He suddenly laughed, "What strange smell can an apple have? Isn't it human? Let’s talk about it, just hate me.”

He had an argument with his mother who refused to eat apples.His mother scolded and beat him repeatedly, and suddenly rolled down the stairs in a panic, unable to move.

Ji Chunyue: "You can't quarrel with the old man. If you get angry, it can be big or small."

Old Hu smiled.

Jiang Xiao didn't interrupt.Yu Zhou saw her hands scratching her calf in vain.Walking over with a stride, he grabbed Jiang Xiao's hand.The calf was scratched and bleeding.

"Your blood type is O?" Xu Qingyuan said suddenly, "Stop scratching, the more you scratch, the more itchy, go wash it with water."

Yu Zhou took Jiang Xiao away.

Jiang Xiao didn't feel any pain in her legs, her eyes shone like beasts in the moonlight.

"Apple." She murmured, "It's actually an apple."

By the side of the carriage, Yu Zhou washed the wound on her leg with clean water without saying a word.

On April 2017, 4, Hong Shiyu disappeared on Jiangmian Road.

The following year, another senior sister disappeared and died, with marks on her head from being hit by an object.

On the night of Jiang Xiao's accident, Hu Weiyi hit Jiang Xiao's head with a bag full of spherical objects.

"Have you been discovered?" Jiang Xiao suddenly grabbed Yu Zhou's clothes, Yu Zhou had to use his body to block the possible sight from the fire in the distance, Jiang Xiao was shrouded in his shadow, and he cried when he saw Jiang Xiao , "Hu Weiyi's mother...she found it...the apple must be abnormal, right! There is blood, tattered, or something else...she found it! She knew it! She knew it!!! "

Yu Zhou thought to himself, that old man in her 70s beat and scolded her son and rolled down the stairs—did she really make a mistake?

What was she going to do by taking the stairs?Call the police?Find someone?

What did she get on the apple she ate?

After that, Hu Weiwei continued to attack his prey with apples.After the attack was successful, the apples were brought back to the bedridden mother.

Yu Zhou's hair was terrified in an instant.

Jiang Xiao held back his crying and let the tears flow.

Behind Jiang Xiao, Fan Xing hugged her loosely.He was taller than Jiang Xiao, and he was one behind Yu Zhou, protecting Jiang Xiao in the small space formed by the two of them. ,

The thin hand covered Jiang Xiao's eyes, and the fingers were gentle, gently stroking Jiang Xiao's eyebrows.

Jiang Xiao began to sob, trembling all over.She stretched out her hand to Yu Zhou in front of her, and Yu Zhou supported her arm, giving her the strength to stand up.

The man's face was illuminated by the fire, and Fan Xing stared at Yu Zhou.Tiny flames flickered in his eyes, and his pupils were faintly red like bleeding.

"I'll help you." He whispered in Jiang Xiao's ear.

On the third day, the team finally left the arrogant place.

There are still two days away from the melody camp.

Less than three hours after crossing the border of Pride, they came face to face with the Reaper.

The author has something to say:

Everyone may very much want to know what Yugan talked about with the horse.

Let's interview a horse.

Reporter Liang: Hello, can you tell us how the communication between fish and horses generally works?

Ma: Why are you cursing?

Reporter Liang: No, I just want to know the language system of horses...

Ma: You cursed again.

Reporter Liang: Why are you so irritable?Master sincerely does not deceive me, the interview with Ma is really the most difficult.

Ma: Damn, there are only three things! ! ! (kick

The dried fish by the river raised his head and listened quietly for a moment: It’s okay, I’m hallucinating, and no one screamed.

It continued to court the beautiful fish sister in the river.
