little spicy jiao

Chapter 93

In the quiet and quiet guest room, the sunlight slowly climbs in through the half-opened window sill, drawing mottled light and shadow on the table.

Mo Jiaojiao sat cross-legged on the bed, holding his favorite cotton candy pillow in his arms, and was raising his head so that Dugu Jiu could wipe his face.

A slightly cool sweat towel was attached to the cheeks that were slightly hot due to emotional agitation, and they were wiped with moderate strength, followed by the sweaty forehead, ears and thin white neck.

"Did Jiaojiao tell the owner of the Hidden God Valley what happened to you in the forest?"

A low and hoarse male voice sounded beside his ears, with a restrained calmness and a hint of comfort.

The child tilted his head in doubt when he heard the words, and his puzzlement was evident in his watery black eyes.He looked at the man sitting beside him, and it took him a long time to say in a soft voice: "Jiao Jiao didn't say anything. Why did he say it?"

Dugu Jiu was stunned for a moment, raised his eyebrows, raised his hand to touch the soft hair on the child's ears, and said in a deep voice: "When you get hurt, you should tell the elders, why didn't you tell Jiaojiao?"

"But Jiao Jiao is not hurt." Mo Jiaojiao blinked uncomfortably, threw away the pillow, dragged the man's palm into his arms and hugged it, sticking it to his warm stomach, flattering him, "Jiao Jiao is just dreaming." Even when I woke up, my legs didn’t turn into two parts. I don’t need to tell the owner of the valley.”

Dugu Jiu lowered her eyes silently, her Adam's apple twitched, and said in a low voice: "Didn't Jiaojiao doubt the reality of the dream at that time? Are you not afraid? They bullied you, and Jiaojiao is not angry?"

"...I'll be scared." The child lowered his head, hugged his arms tightly, and said with some frustration: "After Jiao Jiao woke up, he wanted to cry, but he didn't seem to remember what it was like to cry, so Jiao Jiao wouldn't cry." I knew what to do. Then the owner of the valley took me to Elder Lu Wei for treatment, and the elder asked me why I couldn’t walk without talking, and Jiao Jiao didn’t dare to say anything.”

"Why not?" Dugu Jiu's calm eyes remained on the child's face all the time, noticing the slightest change in expression, he took a teacup and fed the child two sips of warm water, and said: "You can tell this seat, I and Jiao Jiao Guaranteed, I will not tell any monster race in Yinshen Valley."

"Really?" Mo Jiaojiao just relaxed a little. He let go of the arms he held in his arms, and crawled over to the man, sticking to him, then knelt up and hugged the man's neck, and kissed his ears. Channel:

"Jiujiu, the monsters in that dream are very strange. They look... the same as the monsters in the Hidden God Valley. Jiao Jiao doesn't know whether to be angry or not."

"Substitute?" Dugu Jiu frowned, wrapped his arms around the child's waist, lifted him into his arms, and placed it on his lap. The mystery entangled in his heart suddenly and slowly dissipated. , Are you unable to distinguish between reality and dreams?"

As soon as the words came out, the child was stunned for a while, then he reacted, nodded slowly and shyly, and muttered: "There are many monsters in the dream, and there are the same monsters outside the dream. They say that Jiao Jiao is a monster. Kill all monsters, so bully Jiaojiao."

"Ninety-nine." Mo Jiaojiao raised his head, and softly said: "If what is in the dream is real, what should Jiao Jiao do? Jiao Jiao knows that the Valley Master, the elders and other monsters are very good, very good. But, if... If they treat me well, it's Jiaojiao's dream. It's true that they are beating Jiaojiao, so what will Jiaojia do?"

Dugu Jiu stared down at the child silently, speechless for a while.

The eyes of the child in front of him were clearly clear and clean, filled with confusion and timidity of being innocent and ignorant of the world, but at a certain moment, the man felt that those beautiful eyes had already started to shed tears.

Adults can easily distinguish reality from false dreams because they have rich experience and mature minds, but Mo Jiaojiao, who was only three years old at that time, could not.

The child was originally a monster cub who grew up between heaven and earth. He knew nothing about human relationships and worldly knowledge since he was a child. No matter how close and loving he was to everything in the Valley of the Hidden Gods, he was hazy and confused.

Moreover, he has always known that he is Shen Tuzi, and to many people in the cultivation world, he is not a precious child, but an ominous omen.

When the elders who have always loved and cherished me appeared in the dream, but the attitudes of the elders changed drastically, and they wanted to kill me...

No child can accept this fact.

"Jiao Jiao dare not ask the owner of the valley." Mo Jiaojiao knocked on the bed with his wooden duck, and said seriously: "Jiao Jiao believes that the owner of the valley and the elders like Jiao Jiao the most, so Jiao Jiao don't ask, I don’t want to see the owner and the elders become like in the dream. As long as I don’t ask, the owner and the elders will never change. Will Jiujiu be angry?”

"No." Dugu Jiu's expression remained unchanged, and his voice was steady, "I can understand what Jiaojiao said."

"Yeah." The child breathed a sigh of relief, and rolled his eyes foolishly, "Jiujiu is the best."

"If I tell Jiaojiao that the people who bullied you in the dream are all substitutes like Huai Mo, is Jiaojiao trustworthy?" Dugu Jiu said solemnly.

"I believe." The child nodded his head slowly, and said obediently: "Jiao Jiao will know it when he grows up, so he won't suspect that the owner and the elder are bad guys. But, if there is such a thing next time, Jiao Jiao will I won't say it."

"Jiaojiao." Dugu Jiu called out in a low voice, but changed his words: "If you don't say anything, how can I stand up for Jiaojiao? Jiaojiao trust me, don't you?"

"Well, believe in Jiujiu." Mo Jiaojiao's eyes lit up, he nodded firmly, and said: "When Jiaojiao is afraid, Jiujiu is always there. But Jiaojiao, don't tell the owner of the valley and the elders, if they know , will definitely be sad and blame myself.”

"I understand." Dugu Jiu took the child into his arms, and after a while he said: "The woman with Shou Gong Sha in the seat looks exactly like a certain monster clan in the Yinshen Valley?"

"Yeah." Mo Jiaojiao rubbed his eyes wearily, and said confusedly: "Jiaojiao remembers that I had a dream for the second time, crawling in the snow for a long time, as if she was going to die, she came out, and she said that if Jiaojiao Give her two things, and she will let Jiao Jiao live."

"Jiao Jiao wants to live." The child said firmly, "Because I know that as long as I am alive, I will wake up after finishing my dream. If I die, Jiao Jiao will start dreaming again. Those monsters will be the same as before. , Play Jiaojiao again, in the end I will still be in the snow, and this woman will still appear."

"What does she want?" Dugu Jiuzhou's sword intent became more and more condensed, but restrained, he always talked with the child in the most calm and calm tone.

"I don't know." Mo Jiaojiao shook his head and said guiltily, "Jiaojiao doesn't remember the dream after that."

"It's okay." Dugu Jiu replied reassuringly, already having the answer in his heart.

He hugged the child and took off his coat, dragged the quilt to wrap Mo Jiaojiao up, hugged the whole person in his arms, patted him gently, and coaxed him: "Sleep for a while, be obedient."

"Is Jiujiu here too?" Mo Jiaojiao asked worriedly, leaning on the man's chest.

"Well, yes."

The child stretched his limbs, rubbed his forehead, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The sunlight has already passed over the table and case, reducing the bright light in the room a lot, and the soothing fragrance in the room is moving.

What flashed past the window in a trance were the songs of the ignorant children in the town who were not very proficient.

However, at this moment, in another room of the inn, just separated by a wall, the young man who had listened to what Mo Jiaojiao said from the beginning to the end raised his hand to cover his eyes with a pale expression, and slowly leaked from his clenched teeth. Strands of blood meandered down the jaw.

Bie Hejian, who had also stood on the side in a daze for a long time, came to his senses, moved slowly, went over and lightly poked the young man's back with the hilt of his sword, and said, "Shen Siyuan, are you okay?"

The young man waved his hand, but did not answer.

Bie Hejian hesitated for a moment, and persuaded: "Actually, you and the old men in Yinshen Valley didn't know what the little ancestor said. He was so young at that time, so it's normal that he didn't know how to tell you. In addition, you are also busy every day. It's not your fault that you didn't find that Jiao Jiao was dreaming."

"Farewell to the crane." Shen Siyuan took a breath and said hoarsely: "Jiao Jiao was destroyed right under our noses... Do you know? I went to see him every day at that time, he couldn't talk or walk, I Obviously at that time, I suspected that Heavenly Dao was playing tricks, but I never thought that it would use a substitute to...Jiao Jiao was only three years old! How painful and frightened he must have been at that time...We just watched! Like a fool I don't know anything!"

The cups fell to the ground with an ear-piercing shattering sound, and the tea soaked the fragments, which slowly spread around.

Bie Hejian looked at the young man who was on the verge of collapse, sighed deeply, and said: "You didn't know there was such a thing as a double, and Jiao Jiao knew it too, so you can see that he is so sensible. The world is impermanent, there is no Who can really plan and control everything, you have tried your best, haven't you?"

"Such mistakes are not allowed to exist." The young man gasped violently, his voice trembling, and said in a low voice: "After all, the skills are inferior to others, and it is in vain."

After finishing speaking, Shen Siyuan straightened up and walked out, muttering: "I'll come back later."

Bie Hejian looked at the young man's somewhat staggering steps and thin and tired back, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, followed him out of the room, and sneaked into the next room from the window sill disheveledly.

Sensing the aura of the spirit sword not far away, Dugu Jiu glanced up and said via voice transmission: "What's the matter?"

Bie Hejian flew over to look at the bed, and saw the child wrapped in the quilt, sleeping soundly in the man's arms, and heaved a sigh of relief: "Back to Master Jian, Shen Siyuan heard Jiao Jiao's words, some... ...I can't accept it, and I've already gone out. Do you want me to go and have a look?"

"No, let him go." Dugu Jiu stared down at the child's exposed half of the cheek, and said in a deep voice, "Bie He, do you remember the woman that Jiaojiao mentioned?"

"Some impressions." Bie Hejian thought about it for a while, and said uncertainly: "Jianzun, do you remember the peach blossom demon you met by chance? The peach blossom demon changed his residence later, so a new resident came to that peach forest. Once I went out Playing, I saw a little cinnabar between the eyebrows of the banshee, and later in the battle of Jianjian Valley, she also appeared, and she was said to be a monster from Yinshen Valley. But I didn’t see the monsters from Yinshen Valley talking to her.”

"Then it is the same monster as in my memory." Dugu Jiu said.

"Yes!" Bie Hejian suddenly said, "Is it the one who made a doll for Jiao Jiao? I remember that Hong Yan once went to the Yinshen Valley to see Jiao Jiao. Temper, throw away the doll made for him by the Hidden God Valley banshee."

"Well, I will send a letter to Hongyan to ask." Dugu Jiu took out the paper crane, wrote down the question, then popped the paper crane out, and then said: "Don't mention today's matter with Jiaojiao again."

"Then what if the little ancestor can't remember all the time?" Bie Hejian asked worriedly.

"When he enters the secret realm, he will remember everything."

"Then those doubles are going to make a comeback?" Bie Hejian asked in shock.

"Well, it's just what I want." Dugu Jiu put his palm against the child's forehead, his eyes were as deep as an ancient well, and said slowly: "Since it is a fake, there is no need to live."
