  At this time, the woman in front noticed that Xia Tian hadn't followed for a long time, and she didn't dare to rush, so she stood still and waited, and couldn't help but look back.

This look frightened her quite a bit, but she saw that beautiful young man standing alone on the mountain road, talking and laughing with his head up into the air, and there was clear water coming out of nowhere to wash his palms.

It really is the Goddess of the Mountain. The woman didn't dare to look any more, but she became more and more sure that Xia Tian was the bride of the mountain god, otherwise how could she have such a miraculous ability?

The woman waited for a while, but saw that Xia Tian was still talking alone with his head up, feeling the chills behind him even more, and he didn't even dare to look at it.

On the contrary, Sheng Li noticed her fear, chuckled, lowered his head and asked Xia Tian, ​​"When I go out in the future, others will probably not see me. I think there is no mountain god to talk about outside the mountain, and I will only think that Xia Xia is talking about it in the air. Talking...are you afraid?" He thought, now that he is still a soul body anyway, why not let Xia Tian wear earphones and pretend to be chatting with others, so that even if he talks to himself, he will not go out and attract others' surprise Naturally, he himself doesn't care, but he doesn't want Xia Tian to be dismissed.

Xia Tian was caught by his question instead, he didn't know what "fear" Sheng Li said, he frowned suspiciously and said "ah", "I'm not afraid of you." After a pause, he He also noticed the gaze of the woman in front, and seemed to understand something, so the little fox laughed, patted the tablet carefully protected by him in his arms, and said: "I will hold it anytime in the future, even if I'm afraid, it should be because others are afraid of me."

I don't know if it's because of the laws of this small world, Sheng Li can't leave the tablet too far now, the two tried a few times, once the tablet moves, Sheng Li will also Then he left, feeling that the tablet seemed to be Sheng Li's real body, but this tablet would only be obedient when held by the little fox, if the little tree spirit or someone else wanted to touch it, Immediately, you will feel the pain like burning flames. Therefore, Xia Tian didn't dare to let go of his hand, and carefully protected him in his arms all the time.

The two of them didn't delay anymore, Xia Tian continued to talk to Sheng Li while beckoning the woman to continue leading the way, while the little tree spirit followed him obediently, originally Xia Tian wanted to carry him on his back when he saw that his hands and feet were inconvenient Yes, but Sheng Li had a rare possessive desire, and he didn't want his little fox to have too much physical contact with others—not even a child—so he tried a spell to make the little tree spirit feel like he was in the underworld. Vigorous branches and leaves grow from the joints to support his normal movements.

Naturally, this scene fell into the eyes of the woman leading the way, and it proved more and more that Xia Tian and the little tree spirit were not ordinary people.

The originally rough and difficult mountain road became very smooth under Sheng Li's operation. It didn't take long for Xia Tian to notice the dilapidated tile-roofed houses not far away, and he gently hooked Sheng Li's little finger—naturally, outsiders From the point of view, it was just that he moved his finger.

"When I first came here, I was imprisoned there." Xia Tian said softly to Sheng Li, "The little tree spirit was there too, and he looked like a normal kid at that time, and Boss Hu threatened me that if I If you dare to run, your legs will be broken like him."

Before he finished speaking, Xia Tian noticed that the little tree spirit trembled slightly when he heard the word "Boss Hu", but his face did not change. There wasn't much frightened look on his face, obviously he didn't pay attention to Xia Tian's words at all.

That proved that the reaction of the little tree spirit was just a subconscious instinctive reaction of the body.

Xia Tian was suspicious. How could the little tree spirit be so afraid of Boss Hu? Sheng Li naturally noticed it too, and he shook his head almost invisibly, signaling Xia Tian not to ask him in a hurry first, and then asked

: "Who is Boss Hu?"

He had mentioned about being kidnapped and trafficked, but he never mentioned Boss Hu's name, just because these people were no different from ants in his eyes, and it was not worth mentioning by Fei Liduo and Sheng Li.

But at this moment, Sheng Li heard what Xia Tian said, and knew that this "Boss Hu" was the mastermind who kidnapped and sold his little fox. On the one hand, although he was glad that Xia Tian was sold into the ditch of the dead, on the other hand, he hated these people for daring to sell him. To attack him, I had a secret plan in my heart, I just thought that after the matter of the little tree spirit was resolved, after leaving the dead man's ditch, I had to find this boss Hu no matter what, but it was a pity that Huang Mao and Chen Waizui had already died there. In the mouth of the carnivorous butterfly, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful that he couldn't do it himself.

Several bloody and violent thoughts secretly flashed in his mind, but when he met Shang Xia Tian's eyes, his expression was gentle and compassionate, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Bypassing the dilapidated tile-roofed houses, the pagoda tree forest at the entrance of the village was approaching. The woman felt anxious, and every time she took a step, she would turn her head to look at Xia Tian, ​​for fear that the Goddess of the Mountain had chosen herself as a sacrifice, as if staying away from him. One step is about to be sacrificed.

After walking into the locust forest for a while, the woman stopped and said to Xia Tian, ​​"Miss God of the Mountain, I, I saw him here." As she spoke, she glanced at the little tree spirit.

Xia Tian lowered his head and asked the little tree spirit beside him, "Do you remember this place?"

The little tree spirit looked around the locust tree forest with hesitation in his eyes, first nodded, then shook his head, and finally seemed to be confused , watching Xia Tian turn his head in circles with a face of embarrassment, shaking his head and nodding at the same time.

Inexplicably, Xia Tian felt that the appearance of the little tree spirit was a little cute, so he couldn't help but smile with his eyes bent, gently rubbed his hair, and comforted him: "Don't worry, think slowly, if you can't find it here, let's continue." Find another place."

Sheng Li looked at the little tree spirit, and although he didn't speak, he nodded solemnly.

As expected, the little tree spirit was relieved a lot. He let go of Xia Tian's hand and walked forward step by step hesitantly. He walked around in the locust tree forest and looked around, hoping to find out the existence he was familiar with.

At this time, pagoda trees are in full bloom, and the woods are filled with intoxicating sweet fragrance, Xia Tian unconsciously shrugged his nose, and whispered, "I want to eat."

Sheng Li pinched his cheek and said coaxing a child : "I'll make sugar water for you when I go out."

Xia Tian nodded with a smile, but before he could answer, Sheng Li frowned, and immediately asked, "What's the matter?"

Sheng Li turned his head to look at the bushes on the right side that were flooded by clusters of white Sophora japonica flowers, "There's something there."

Xia Tian was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that the "thing" Sheng Li mentioned was by no means an ordinary object. He said to the woman who was still waiting: "Since the road has been brought, you can go back." "Hey!

Hey Thank you, Goddess of the Mountain!" The woman had been waiting for this sentence early in the morning, and when she heard this, her brows bristled with joy, and she hurriedly turned her head and ran away.

After confirming that the woman had gone far away, Xia Tian told the little tree spirit not to go far away, then looked at Sheng Li, the two nodded slightly in unison, and then walked towards the depths of Sophora japonica.

As he approached step by step, a slightly pungent strange smell gradually became apparent, which reminded Xia Tian subconsciously of the smell of a private house - old and gloomy.

But because the scent of Sophora japonica flowers around was too strong to cover it up, Xia Tian didn't notice it at first, and only now did he gradually smell it when he got close.

His heart skipped a beat, he grabbed Sheng Li's hand unconsciously, pulled him back, and said, "Is there another hole leading to the ground? We won't go there." He was still careful as he spoke

. Carefully put the tablet on the inner lining of his shirt, for fear that it would fall and bring its owner along with it.

However, Sheng Li shook his head, "It's a bit like the breath, but it's not." He rarely saw the little fox showing such a nervous expression, so he couldn't bear Xia Tian's worries, so he didn't move forward, but said, "If you don't like , we will not go there."

Xia Tian thought that since the smell was similar to the smell of a private house, he might have something to do with it, maybe it was another place that could trap the owner, and it was related to Sheng Li, so he naturally didn't dare to neglect, thinking After thinking for a while, he said, "You wait for me here, I'll go over and have a look first."

Sheng Li nodded naturally.

Only then did Xia Tian carefully push aside a clump of Sophora japonica flowers hanging down his head, and slowly walked towards the place where the smell came out. Every time he took a step, he had to look back at Sheng Li to make sure that the other party was standing in the same place before he was relieved.

Sheng Li only saw Xia Tian's slender figure being submerged by the pagoda tree flowers, and couldn't help but his thoughts wandered. He remembered the little fox on Fulian Mountain. If he put that white fox among the pagoda tree flowers, he didn't know who would be whiter.

"...Ah?"

Sheng Li was about to take out the fluffy fox fur ball for comparison, when suddenly a low and urgent cry came from his ear.

It's Xia Tian.

Sheng Li frowned, his body moved slightly, and in the blink of an eye, he passed through the green leaves and white flowers in front of him, and stood in front of Xia Tian, ​​firmly protecting him behind him.

Sheng Li was also taken aback when he saw clearly what was in front of him.

An old pagoda tree, which is enough for four or five people to hug, was probably struck by lightning, and a big hole was opened at the root of the tree. However, what surprised them was not the dark tree hole, but the people in the tree hole—— ——There

is a child lying in the tree hole. The lush green leaves cover his body, shielding him from the scorching sun and wind and rain. This child has merged with the old locust tree, and his young body is limply paralyzed in the tree hole. Instead of an arm, a branch covered with acacia flowers hung on his shoulders, and the dark roots were tangled around him, one of which had already reached his ear, and was about to go in if it was a little longer.

This scene is like a surreal sculpture painting, which makes people feel cold.

"That's... the little tree spirit?"

Xia Tian recovered from his surprise just now, looked at the child lying in the tree hole, and asked again in a low voice.
