Chapter 206 Going Home
Looking at the small body swaying on the wall, Xiao Xiao was startled.
"Baby, sit tight and don't move."
Xiao Xiao said warmly.
"...Oh."
The baby tilted his head in confusion, but remained obedient and didn't move.
"What a good baby."
Xiao Xiao smiled and praised.
"Yeah, of course the baby is a good baby."
The baby nodded his head vigorously in agreement.
Xiao Xiao couldn't help but laugh a little.
Baobao is a child who likes to be praised for being a good baby.
……
The wall the baby is sitting on is not very high, but no matter how high the wall is, it cannot be compared to a person's height.
If he was alone, going up and down the wall wouldn't be a big problem. But if you want to hold the baby down, it may be a bit reluctant.
Let's ask Yi Yi to hand the baby down.
Just when Xiao Xiao was about to summon the rooster, the rooster on one side moved. It released its tail from its mouth and stretched out towards the baby.
The long tail flexibly circled the baby several times, and then brought the baby steadily to Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao carefully took the baby.
"Thank you."
Xiao Xiao seriously thanked Zhu Qian, who was unexpectedly considerate despite his cold appearance.
Zhu Jian shook his long tail impatiently and turned his eyes to one side.
What's there to thank you for? Humans are trouble.
……
"Baby."
"Brother Xiao Xiao~"
"Baby, does it hurt anywhere?"
Xiao Xiao looked the baby up and down. Except for some scratches on the exposed skin, there was nothing wrong with it.
"Do these scars hurt?"
Xiao Xiao gently touched the scratches on the baby's body, and it was indeed scratched by those branches and thorns.
"Huh?"
The baby tilted his head and reached out to touch, "The baby doesn't hurt."
"Really? The baby is really amazing."
Xiao Xiao patted the baby's head.
"Hey."
The baby had a silly smile on his face.
……
"Hey, brother Xiao Xiao, where's the tail?" The baby looked around in Xiao Xiao's arms, his round eyes rolling.
"Tail?"
Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously looked at Zhu Jian...'s tail. Is this what he was talking about?
"Isn't it the tail that brought the baby down?"
The baby has some doubts.
It was the same feeling when the tail picked it up before.
"Bad Tail, I left the baby behind and ran away alone."
"The baby can't get down."
The baby no longer looked for the tail, but started complaining to brother Xiao Xiao.
"Well, Bad Tail."
Xiao Xiao agreed.
However, he looked at Zhu Jian squatting on one side, and then looked at Zhu Jian's baby, which he had just searched around but could not find.
Could it be that the baby can no longer see the bullocks?
……
"Baby, look over there, do you see anything?"
Xiao Xiao pointed to the location of Zhu Jian and said to Bao Bao.
"Well..."
The baby stared for a long time with his eyes wide open, "Ah, the tail!"
The baby screamed happily.
In Xiao Xiao's arms, he was about to pounce on Zhu Jian.
Xiao Xiao carefully put the baby on the ground and watched the baby run towards Zhu Jian, excitedly trying to catch Zhu Jian's tail to play with.
The pigeons swung their tails up and down, left and right, playing with the baby. Inexplicably, I feel like a funny cat.
It really looks eerily similar to the scene of a person teasing a cat with a cat teasing stick.
……
Xiao Xiao stood aside and watched the play between one person and one monster.
The baby smiled happily, and Zhu Jian put on a face that was as fierce and cold as before.
However, Xiao Xiao could feel that Zhu Jian was in a good mood.
……
The baby's abilities are about to disappear.
Xiao Xiao sighed inexplicably.
I wonder if the grown-up baby will still remember that he used to play with monsters?
He suddenly remembered the old woman he met in Xiangshan who only had a one-day relationship with the monster.
I remembered the loss and sadness, the confusion and relief of the old lady.
He also felt that it would be good if the baby forgot this fate with the monster.
So what if you remember?
To be invisible is to be invisible.
It's better to just forget about it.
Or, just treating it as a beautiful dream from childhood is better than an unrealistic pursuit.
……
Ren Baobao played with Zhu Jian for a while, and Xiao Xiao stepped forward and picked up the baby.
"Baby, it's time to go home."
"The baby's grandparents, parents, and many, many other people are worried about the baby."
"So the baby must appear in front of them quickly to reassure them."
The baby, who was still a little reluctant to part with Zhu Qian and unwilling to leave, finally slowly stopped struggling and was picked up by Xiao Xiao obediently.
"Goodbye tail~"
The baby called out softly, grabbed Xiao Xiao's hand holding him with one small hand, and waved hard with the other.
Zhu Jian rushed to say goodbye to the human cub and shook his tail, then held the tail in his mouth. He took one last look at the seemingly gentle and harmless but actually extremely dangerous human holding the cub, and turned around without the slightest hesitation. left.
After a few quick leaps, Zhu Jian disappeared.
"Tail~"
The baby subconsciously stretched out his hand in the direction Zhu Jian left, as if he wanted to grab something.
Xiao Xiao held the baby's outstretched hand.
"Baby, let's go home."
"Hmm~"
The baby responded loudly and soon smiled again, showing his small, white teeth.
……
Xiao Xiao held the baby and walked towards Grandpa Zhou's house.
The distance is not that far.
After all, how fast can a five-year-old walk? How far can you go?
It's just that the street where the baby is is quite hidden.
Sometimes it's really dark under the lights.
The baby was sitting on the wall so big and bold, but no one noticed it.
……
"Dong~"
As soon as Xiao Xiao knocked on the door, the door suddenly opened, revealing the anxious and expectant faces of Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Wang.
Ever since they got home and their daughter left, Mr. Zhou and his wife have never sat down in peace. They have been pacing back and forth in the house, feeling uneasy.
In fact, when they heard the footsteps on the stairs, Mr. Zhou and his wife walked quickly to the door, full of anxiety.
Mr. Zhou's hand had even been placed on the door handle.
Therefore, just as Xiao Xiao knocked on the door with his knuckles, Mr. Zhou opened the door impatiently.
……
Xiao Xiao slowly put down his hand raised in the air and smiled slightly at Grandpa Zhou's face that turned from stunned disbelief to overjoyed.
"Grandpa Zhou, the baby is back."
……
"Baby!"
Elder Zhou exclaimed, and Grandma Zhou's eyes suddenly turned red. Her lips wriggled a few times, but in the end she couldn't utter a single word. She just stretched out her trembling hands, and her old hands were shaking a little.
Xiao Xiao knowingly handed the baby to Grandma Zhou's arms, but did not take his hand back immediately, but carefully protected the baby.
Grandma Zhou's mood was a little agitated now, and Xiao Xiao was afraid that she might not hold her firmly for a while.
However, what Xiao Xiao was worried about did not appear.
Grandma Zhou carefully and tightly hugged her lost grandson, her head buried in the baby's young shoulders, her shoulders trembling a little.
