Chapter 2259 The Scholar and the Fox
The meal must be eaten in one bite.
His change cannot happen overnight.
However, the man will no longer feel sorry for himself.
He will keep trying until the day comes when his specialness is truly gone.
Try to make yourself better off.
"It took you so much time."
"I'm so sorry."
"Thank you."
"Sorry, I'm not good at talking..."
The man lowered his head slightly, "I don't know how to express my gratitude."
"Your great kindness..."
Xiao Xiao laughed.
"No, you are exaggerating."
"Glad I could be of some help."
……
The man shook his head.
What he said was no exaggeration.
He really felt that today was a turning point in his life.
really.
An idea suddenly popped into his head.
Since monsters are real.
Then, the signature and so on are not completely false.
He decided to go to that temple to worship again tomorrow.
……
Xiao Xiao and the man parted at the door of the cafe.
"Classmate Xiao, goodbye."
The man bent down to Xiao Xiao, "Thank you, classmate Xiao."
Even after saying it many times, he still wanted to say it.
……
After a while, the man straightened up.
"Classmate Xiao, I'm leaving."
This time, the man simply turned around and left.
……
Looking at the man's back that was no longer rickety, the corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth curved upward.
If we have the chance to meet again next time...
He hopes to see a "renewed" man.
……
Xiao Xiao turned around.
As he took a step forward, he took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
The call was quickly answered.
"Little friend Xiao Xiao, you haven't called the old man for a long time."
"Do you need the old man's help with anything else this time?"
The old man's voice was full of energy and a bit of a smile.
"Mr. Jiang."
Xiao Xiao was not embarrassed about the old man's guess.
Moreover, the old man guessed it right.
He did make this call because he had something to do with the old man.
……
"Mr. Jiang, please pay attention to a child..."
Xiao Xiao told the old man about Wei Xinhai's niece's situation, and also briefly mentioned Wei Xinhai's situation.
……
"I know."
Mr. Jiang responded calmly.
"Little friend Xiao Xiao, I'm sorry about your friend."
Even if Xiao Xiao only mentioned a few words, the old man could guess the general situation of the other party.
He has met similar children before.
There's more than one.
He could never forget the hesitant, confused and frightened eyes of those children.
……
"No."
Xiao Xiao shook his head, "You don't need to apologize."
"It's not your fault."
No one is a savior.
No one can save everyone.
It's just a matter of helping within the limits of one's ability and with a clear conscience.
……
Mr. Jiang lowered his eyes and smiled.
He knew it.
He can't save everyone.
The Demon Master Alliance is not powerful enough to find everyone in need of help.
All they can do is do their best.
……
"Why?!"
"Why didn't you notice me then?!"
"Why..."
……
The man's hysterical questioning echoed in the old man's mind.
The old man's hand holding the phone couldn't help but tighten a little.
……
"Mr. Jiang?"
Xiao Xiao, who was vaguely aware of the change in the old man's mood, asked, "What's wrong?"
"Huh?"
The old man suddenly came to his senses.
Then he was amazed by Xiao Xiao's sensitivity.
However, it is all a thing of the past...
He smiled and shook his head, "Nothing."
"Sorry, I just remembered something and got a little distracted."
...The old man's complexion quickly returned to normal.
"Little friend Xiao Xiao, don't worry."
"We will pay attention to that little girl."
……
"Okay."
Since the old man didn't say anything, Xiao Xiao didn't ask further, "Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Jiang."
"Thank you."
"Thank you for what?"
Mr. Jiang smiled and said, "This is one of the purposes of the establishment of the Demon Master Alliance."
"It's our duty."
"It's my turn to thank you for telling me the news."
……
After finishing the business talk and exchanging a few simple greetings, Xiao Xiao put away his cell phone.
"Hiss~"
White Snake stretched his body.
"Human beings..."
……
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Xiao touched the white snake's head.
……
"Nothing."
White Snake nuzzled Xiao Xiao's fingers slightly.
Just seeing the human in so much pain because of the monster, he suddenly realized that this is the relationship between most humans and monsters.
It has stayed with Master Xiao Xiao for a long time.
I feel that the relationship between humans and monsters is the relationship between it and Master Xiao Xiao.
Too.
White Snake bent his eyes.
Who is it?
Who is Lord Xiao Xiao?
What kind of relationship between a random monster and a human being has this kind of relationship with Mr. Xiao Xiao?
……
Looking at White Snake, who suddenly exuded an aura of joy, Xiao Xiao slightly raised his eyebrows in confusion.
Why are you suddenly happy?
……
"Ajiu?"
Xiao Xiao soon discovered something was wrong with the little white fox.
It's so quiet.
In the past, whenever the white snake said something, the little white fox would definitely say something back.
Of course, the reverse is also true.
This is how the little white fox and the white snake get along.
But the white snake had spoken just now, but the little white fox had remained silent until now.
Isn't it strange?
"What's wrong?"
……
The white snake glanced at the little white fox.
"Are you stupid?"
"You are stupid."
The little white fox retorted subconsciously.
Then it raised its eyes and looked at Xiao Xiao, "Nothing."
"Just remembering one thing."
……
"What happened?"
Xiao Xiao was a little curious.
Being able to make the little white fox forget about choking with the white snake must be something of special significance to the little white fox, right?
……
"Boring things."
The little white fox said casually.
……
"Hiss~"
The white snake twisted its tail.
His head turned.
Tsk~, I like to talk but don’t talk.
……
"Really?"
Xiao Xiao touched the little white fox's head.
Since I can remember it to this day, it must not be as boring as the little white fox said.
But since the little white fox didn't want to talk, he didn't ask.
……
"...If you want to know, I can also tell you."
The little white fox flicked its tail.
"A very ordinary story."
"I don't know why I remembered it."
Could it be because he heard the story of the human before?
There is obviously no connection between the two.
……
That happened a long time ago...
A scholar-looking man saw it.
The man lost his footing and fell down the cliff.
But he was saved because of a big tree growing out of the cliff.
The man is lying on the tree.
I saw a fox lying on a big tree on a cliff.
The snow-white hair shines in the sun.
It was so beautiful that the scholar almost forgot to breathe.
He had never seen such a beautiful fox.
It's just like the fox demon in the picture book who can transform into a human.
Maybe his eyes were too hot.
Maybe it was just because he had been staring for so long.
The fox opened his eyes.
