Brin hunched over and turned to Su Ming, who was washing his hands, with a worried look in his eyes, "Ming'er, Xiao Wu is still like this, how about we go to the city and find a good doctor to check her out?"

Xiao Wu hung her head and shook it weakly, which made Brin sigh anxiously and give her a lecture.

Su Ming also came over and wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve. "Grandpa, her illness is not common. Even a miracle doctor may not be able to help her."

Brin glared at her, a little angry, "How can you talk like that, kid? Can't you see that Xiao Wu is already like this? You still have the mind to make sarcastic remarks?"

Su Ming quickly explained, "That's not what I meant. I meant that she wasn't feeling unwell physically, but she was having some psychological problems."

psychology?

Brin's eyes were full of confusion. Why did he have mental problems? How could mental problems affect his health? What kind of medicine should he pick on the mountain?

Hearing this, Xiao Wu also looked up at Su Ming. Although her eyes were weak, one could still feel that she was bulging with anger.

"Forget it, let me give it a try."

Su Ming shook his head, walked over and put his arm around Xiao Wu's knees, while with the other hand he held her back and picked her up like a princess.

Xiao Wu's lips trembled with anger. She struggled for a few times, but was finally intimidated by Su Ming's gaze and lay there obediently.

"Ming'er, can you really do this?"

"Let's give it a try."

Holding Xiao Wu in his arms, Su Ming walked towards the bamboo forest in the back mountain.

Looking at this annoying face so close to her, Xiao Wu became angrier and more aggrieved she felt.

oooo~

She opened her cherry lips and bit Su Ming's shoulder, then added a little more strength, as if to vent the humiliation she had suffered.

But at this moment, she didn't have much strength.

Su Ming completely ignored it and continued walking on his own.

snort!

After a few seconds, Xiao Wu seemed to be tired of biting, her silver teeth slowly loosened, and her mouth pulled a thread on Su Ming's clothes.

After a while, they arrived at the bamboo forest.

The air blowing towards me is very fresh, and it feels a little minty and cool when it reaches my throat.

When you step on the piled bamboo leaves, there is a crisp crackling sound.

It was not until they reached the depths of the bamboo forest that Su Ming put Xiao Wu down and leaned her against a stone. He then sat down against the stone as well.

The bamboo forest is very quiet. Apart from the rustling of bamboo leaves in the wind and the creaking of bamboos swaying, there is basically no other sound.

Xiao Wu half-closed her eyes and stole a glance at Su Ming. Just when she thought he would comfort her, the latter suddenly blurted out something.

"Actually, rabbit meat is quite delicious."

Rabbit meat~

Pretty delicious? ?

Xiao Wu was choking and coughing, and her mentality was about to explode.

asshole!

I knew that this bastard couldn't get any good words out of his mouth!

Xiao Wu's eyes were trembling and she was gnashing her teeth, looking ready to pounce at any moment.

Su Ming looked at the bamboo forest in front of him. His eyes were no longer cold, but replaced by a sincere and calm look.

"Actually, I regret agreeing to let you come to Dayan Village. That way, you wouldn't have met Grandpa, and I would have saved a lot of trouble."

Ok?

Xiao Wu's eyes were fixed, but Su Ming continued to say:

"Your identity is destined to be a hot potato."

After a short silence, Su Ming's eyes became serious. "Have you ever thought about what would happen if your identity was exposed to the Spirit Hall?"

boom!

Xiao Wu's face turned even paler, and she felt a chill on her back.

It was as if I was standing next to a bottomless abyss. Apart from the ever-increasing heartbeat, I could no longer hear any other sound.

She looked up at Su Ming, her frightened eyes no longer containing any anger.

Su Ming finally lowered his head and looked at her. "Your existence will drive all the soul masters in the entire continent crazy, and you will face endless pursuit."

"Don't easily define humans as evil, because they have a more evil side. In order to trap you, they will do anything."

"Especially the closest people around you will also bear the influence you bring, even if it's me, I don't have absolute certainty that I can protect you in the future, do you understand?"

Looking at Su Ming's sincere and bright eyes, Xiao Wu felt sad inside, as if there was a layer of mist blocking her sight.

She could feel that Su Ming was different now. He was no longer cold, but rather warm, like a family member, speaking from his heart about everything that might happen in the future.

Su Ming sighed and reached out to wipe the tears from Xiao Wu's eyes.

"In fact, everyone has things they care about. I just want grandpa to enjoy his old age happily, so I didn't stop you from calling him grandpa."

"I can handle it, but grandpa, he's too old to even think about the wind and waves... Never mind, I won't say such dirty words."

"Xiao Wu, if you don't want to be exposed, just treat yourself as a human being and look at things from a human perspective."

"Once you pass this level, I will teach you how to avoid other risks."

Xiao Wu's eyes were red and she kept wiping her tears with her hands. She felt warm inside. This was the first time she heard someone say that they wanted to protect her.

That's not right~

Xiao Wu's watery eyes stared straight at Su Ming, her eyes shining with surprise and sweetness.

"Um, didn't you say you wanted my spirit ring?"

Su Ming nodded seriously and said, "Of course I remember. I haven't said I don't want it now. If you want to make a sacrifice, I will agree without hesitation."

"If you don't want to sacrifice yourself and want to live, you'd better hope that grandpa lives a few more years. How long he can protect you depends entirely on your luck."

snort!

I knew this bastard was so hard-hearted, just because of grandpa. Xiao Wu turned her head to the side angrily, and a huffing voice sounded.

"Don't even think about it. Even if I die, I will not give you my spirit rings and spirit bones."

"Also, Grandpa will surely live a long life. Maybe I will be more powerful than you in the future. Don't even think about succeeding in this life."

Su Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He stretched out his hand and flicked his finger, and his head collapsed. "It's true that I said you have a problem with your brain."

It’s not over, right?

There's nothing wrong with my brain. I'm obviously very smart!

Xiao Wu gritted her teeth in hatred, her lips curled up, "Even if I'm mentally ill, I must have been beaten by you."

"If you bully people like this, even if you have nothing wrong with your brain, you will still cause trouble."

Seeing that Xiao Wu's mood had improved and her eyes were shining again, Su Ming, who had completed the task, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Gululu~

A strange sound suddenly rang out; even the creaking sound of bamboo could not hide this empty sound.

Xiao Wu's face turned red and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. She quickly covered her stomach and shrank to the other side. It was so embarrassing.

But I'm really hungry.

Clutching her belly tightly, Xiao Wu, who had regained her senses, felt a little dizzy and couldn't lift her strength. She wished she could fill her stomach with air.

The day before yesterday, she vomited all night because she ate rabbit meat. Yesterday, she only drank some porridge, and today she didn't drink a drop of water. How could there be any food left in her stomach?

Damn~

Suddenly, a streak of white fell from above her head, hitting the dead leaves with a crisp sound. Looking at the steamed bun falling in front of her, Xiao Wu felt ecstatic.

But when she looked down carefully, her face turned dark instantly. It was not a steamed bun at all, it was just a cloth bag.

Is she hallucinating because of hunger? Xiao Wu couldn't breathe out, and then she felt something was wrong. She sniffed with her little nose, and a faint fragrance rushed into her nose.

No, it's buns!

Xiao Wu's beautiful eyes lit up and she quickly opened the cloth bag. As she had smelled, there were several buns inside.

Humph, whether it is poisonous or not, you will know after eating it~

Xiao Wu bit down on it with a big mouthful, the mellow aroma of the minced meat instantly stimulated her salivation, the wonderful feeling made her heart ecstatic, and she immediately became ecstatic.

Although the buns were cold, it did not stop her from eating them voraciously.

With puffy cheeks, Xiao Wu looked a little silly and cute. "You have a conscience and remember to bring me some buns."

Su Ming shook his head, "I didn't bring it for you, I did it to prevent me from getting hungry."

"I just said that rabbit meat is delicious. Now that you can eat it again, you should believe it."

Xiao Wu froze in her tracks for a moment, her frightened eyes slowly moving downwards and fixed on the bun in her mouth.

In an instant, the passage of time suddenly slowed down.

It was as if a needle was slowly turning in my mind.

After a while, Xiao Wu bit the bun hard again.

She glared at Su Ming angrily, then turned her head to the other side, sulking while eating the steamed stuffed bun, not wanting to talk to someone.

Su Ming smiled casually, put his hands behind his head, and slowly leaned back against the stone.

He looked as light as the wind, with shadows of bamboos reflected in his eyes, swaying in his steps, looking so comfortable and leisurely.

"Go back after eating, I'll stay here later."

"Huh, I didn't say I wanted to go back."

"…It's almost noon. I asked you to go back and help grandpa make lunch."

“…What about you?”

"If you're done, remember to call me home for dinner."

Xiao Wu: “…”

Is this something humans do?

Xiao Wu couldn't believe it and thought she had heard it wrong. She couldn't help but ask in a shrill voice:

"So what you mean is that you want me, who can't cook, to go home and cook, while you stay here and be lazy?"

Su glanced at her calmly and said confidently, "Because you are the only one who doesn't know how to do it, I let you learn it."

"I'm going to help grandpa cut bamboo and will be back later."

Cutting bamboo, right?

Xiao Wu patted her butt and stood up, as if she was afraid that someone would snatch it from her. "It's just a small matter, just leave it to me, you go back and cook."

boom!

Xiao Wu swung her long braid over and kicked the bamboo in a spin.

With a loud bang, several sections of the bamboo tube burst and collapsed, and the whole bamboo tilted down, but did not fall completely.

Swish!

Xiao Wu was about to keep up with her kick, but suddenly a back pulling force pulled her back, and her leg flew into the air.

"What happened again?"

Seeing Su Ming's gloomy face, Xiao Wu suddenly felt something was wrong. Did she do something stupid again?

"I take back everything I said before. It's hard for you to be a human being!"

Su Ming sighed helplessly, swung his knife and cut the bamboo completely in half. He also cut off the bamboo that was kicked to pieces and threw it aside.

Then, poke open the bamboo nodes where the roots are underground.

After doing all this, Su Ming processed the required bamboo into long bamboo tubes.

"Why did you poke open the bamboo tube?"
