Raiders, loyal dog

Chapter 33

Because of Qiao Zhibai's bottle of medicine, Ling Zixiu's injury healed a few days faster than expected.

Although it is said that there is ten days of preparation time, relatively, this will inevitably bring more space for the blue team to launch the pursuit.

There are two more days.Ling Zixiu released the carrier pigeon in his hand, then walked to the table, brought the note in his hand closer to the candle, and let the jumping flames slowly devour the note in his hand.Looking sideways at the gloomy sky outside the window, a pair of eyes of different colors flashed a trace of hostility in an instant.

The most important thing to do now is to take Qiao Zhibai back to his "territory" as soon as possible. Even if it is a "crusade", the real duel between the two groups must be led by the "king" of both sides.

The strength of the blue group has always been the strongest among several groups, so it is definitely not good for him to face the battle with the relatively weakest mysterious group.However, things have two sides.The strength of the blue team itself means that there is no absolute courage, and there may even be a situation where the "king" is divided.Lan Jiu is naturally strong enough, but after Lan Jiu's death, there are still three "Hou" in the blue team who are of equal strength, eyeing the control of the blue team.

In other words, if you want to launch the most thorough group battle against him, you must at least wait for the blue team to compete to select the next "king".And what he wants to use now is this time difference!

He was running out of time, he had to take Qiao Zhibai back to his "absolute domain" before they were fully prepared.

"Xiaoxiu, come out for dinner!" Outside, Qiao Zhibai's voice calling Ling Zixiu came in, interrupting Ling Zixiu's thoughts.Ling Zixiu stood up, answered "I'm here", then looked back out of the window, his eyes darkened: And, there is another question.

Among the same generation, Lan Jiu is already strong enough.And he is very cunning, and he is so cautious in doing things that no one can catch his fault.As long as it is a risky thing, he will not choose to give it a go if he is not [-]% sure.

This is also the reason why Ling Zixiu was able to fool Lan Jiu away when he was clearly at a disadvantage.

What Ling Zixiu took advantage of was Lan Jiu's suspicious but insecure temperament.

Then, how could such a Lan Jiu be killed so silently?Ling Zixiu pushed open the door, not showing it on the face, but his mind was running rapidly.

Was it conspired by the enemy?Ambush by other groups of "kings"?Or was it the "waiters" in the blue team who betrayed him?Or……

After Qiao Zhibai set the table and chopsticks, he looked up and saw Ling Zixiu walking towards him as if he was distracted.

Stretching out his hand to give him a hand, Qiao Zhibai lowered his head slightly to meet Ling Zixiu's blank questioning eyes, and asked a little funny: "What are you thinking? I can be dazed even if I walk a little way? I'm not afraid of bumping into the door frame up?"

Qiao Zhibai said a few words to Ling Zixiu, but he didn't refute. He just listened obediently, then looked at the dishes on the table with a smile, and said, "Why did you buy so many dishes?"

Hearing Ling Zixiu's question, Qiao Zhibai, who had been successfully diverted from the subject again, immediately looked away, scanned the dishes on the table, and then explained with a smile : "A few days ago, thinking about your injury, I couldn't eat anything except some porridge. Now that the injury has finally healed, why don't I give you a good mend?"

As he said that, he pressed Ling Zixiu's shoulders and sat down on the wooden chair, then sat down opposite Ling Zixiu, and naturally picked up a chopstick dish for him: "I heard that the taste is very good, come and taste it. look."

Ling Zixiu ate the food with a shallow smile.The whole person is in good spirits, which made Qiao Zhibai at the side feel much more at ease.

After eating, the two of them cleared the table together.Qiao Zhibai was about to go to the kitchen to wash the dishes, but he saw Ling Zixiu rolling up his sleeves to follow and help.Frowning and rejecting several times, Ling Zixiu refuted it. In the end, Qiao Zhibai had no choice but to ask Ling Zixiu to come to the backyard and clean up the kitchen for him.

Unexpectedly, when it comes to cleaning the kitchen, Ling Zixiu does it very neatly.Qiao Zhibai watched, feeling relieved and sad at the same time.For a while I didn't know what to say.

Sighing, he silently rolled up his sleeves and carefully cleaned the dishes. Suddenly, Qiao Zhibai heard Ling Zixiu speak.

"Brother, since my injury has healed, I don't need to stay here any longer." Ling Zixiu called Qiao Zhibai while wiping the table, and said, "Let's leave here tomorrow morning."

"Huh?" Qiao Zhibai glanced sideways at Ling Zixiu, thought for a while, and said, "It's really fine to leave, but why did you bring up this issue so suddenly?"

Ling Zixiu raised his head and smiled at Qiao Zhibai, then asked, "Why did you ask so suddenly?"

Qiao Zhibai lowered his head and washed the bowl in his hand, and said casually: "If you really want to leave, at least you have to tell me a few days in advance so that I can plan where I'm going. It's already late at night That's right, you suddenly said that you will leave tomorrow, how do you want me to prepare?"

"Where do I need my brother to prepare? I have already packed the things that should be prepared." Ling Zixiu didn't care about this, and continued to smile slightly, "Besides, if my brother hasn't made a plan for the future travel route, then , my brother will follow me. As long as I am here, I will never lose my brother."

Lost something... Qiao Zhibai's head popped out like a small well: Is it really okay to put such words on him?

However, since my own children have already said so...

"Forget it, since Xiaoxiu asked for it, then I will entrust everything to you." Qiao Zhibai rinsed the bowl in his hand with water again, then wiped the water droplets on it with a rag, and finally put the bowl away All the dishes were properly put into the cupboard.

Turning around, he blinked at Ling Zixiu: "However, if there are any problems on the road later, Xiaoxiu has to take full responsibility."

Ling Zixiu bent his lips, watching Ling Zixiu's eyes turn into a beautiful crescent shape: "Okay."

"Okay, don't get in the way here. I'll heat the hot water, and you can go back and get your clothes. These days, I'm afraid of infection in the wound, so I only dare to wipe your body with a wet towel. Now you don't have to be restricted. , the water will be hot soon, and I will let you take a good hot bath later." Qiao Zhibai reached out and rubbed Ling Zixiu's head, smiling authentically.

Ling Zixiu nodded and responded with a smile.

After taking a shower, it was already late.I didn't feel it during the day, but at night the wind blew up and the sky suddenly turned cold.Looking at Ling Zixiu's wet hair, Qiao Zhibai frowned, took a clean towel, and walked over to wipe Ling Zixiu's hair.

"It's so cold at night, you don't know how to pay more attention to it. If you don't brush your hair, you just want to let it dry. When you get a headache in the future, you will suffer some of it." Qiao Zhibai helped Ling Zixiu to dry his hair while pretending Angrily cursed.

Ling Zixiu, who was scolded, seemed very happy, smiled slightly, and let Qiao Zhibai brush his hair obediently.

"Well, well, it's almost done. Stand up and show me." After a while, Qiao Zhibai, who felt that it was almost done, put away the towel, reached out and patted Ling Zixiu's head, "Well, you can go to sleep now Yes. Didn’t you say yes, you have to leave tomorrow morning? Tsk, let’s talk about it first, if there is anything else to bring, I’ll pack it up together tonight.”

Ling Zixiu shook his head, pressed Qiao Zhibai's hand, and said, "Just bring a few changes of clothes. If you really need something, bring money and buy it locally. It's also troublesome to pack it around. .”

Sure enough, he is worthy of being a rich man, and he speaks with full confidence.

Qiao Zhibai smiled and rubbed Ling Zixiu's head again: "Then I'll go and pack some clothes, so that I won't be able to buy them when I get them."

Qiao Zhibai said, put away his hands, and was about to turn around and pack up his things. Halfway there, he suddenly seemed to remember something, raised his eyebrows and looked at Ling Zixiu on the other side, and asked, "Xiaoxiu, have you grown taller again?" I still remember when I first saw you, you just reached my thigh, such a small thing. Why do you look a lot taller now? "

Ling Zixiu stood beside Qiao Zhibai and compared his height.He is almost as high as Qiao Zhibai's nose now.

"Well, it seems that I have grown a little taller." Ling Zixiu said with a smile, "But, this is also a certain thing. I said before that I will definitely grow taller than my brother in the future. Didn't my brother also feel that at the beginning? Can I be taller than you?"

Ling Zixiu smiled: "At that time, my brother made me eat a lot of carrots. I remember correctly, right?"

"My brother already believes in me so much, so you have to work hard."

Qiao Zhibai looked at the serious Ling Zixiu speechlessly, and his heart went crazy.

At the beginning, he saw how small his child was, so he just tried to comfort him with perfunctory words. Who knew that the child could grow so fast the day after tomorrow!Qiao Zhibai glanced at Ling Zixiu again: Moreover, the boy is already this tall at the age of 14, and there will still be several years of sprinting period after that.

Qiao Zhibai suddenly felt a faint sense of crisis in his heart.

If this kid is really allowed to grow taller than himself in the future, then where is he going to put his dignity as an older brother, bastard!
