"Master Xiao Xiao will have some trouble finding it."

The little white fox tilted his head and glanced upward at Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao looked at the direction where the little ghost disappeared, with a somewhat thoughtful look on his face.

"......uncertain."

...

The kid stumbled and fell into the bushes.

Branches and leaves hit it.

Somewhat itchy.

It's not as painful as the sun falling on it just now.

Its heart skipped a beat.

I was worried that the noise I would make if I fell in would be too great.

After a while, after realizing that nothing happened, the kid carefully got up from the ground slowly.

It covers its mouth.

Heavy breathing escaped from between the fingers.

It covered its mouth harder.

There is a taste of rust in the mouth.

It didn't care, or rather, it didn't notice it.

It looked out through the gaps in the branches and leaves.

The human didn't come after him.

Is it safe?

It doesn't know.

...

The sun is gradually setting in the west.

The beautiful red clouds filled the entire sky.

The burning heat in the air dissipated somewhat.

The sky slowly darkened.

The kid knew he was safe for the time being.

It turned around and looked around.

There are more and more people coming and going.

Sometimes he is walking in a hurry, or he is chatting and laughing with his companions.

Or looking down at something.

...

The street lights came on.

There was a look of disgust on the kid's face.

There are almost no humans left outside.

The aroma of food wafts in the air.

It ducked out of the bushes.

Then he quickly ran up the tree with his hands and feet.

After it sat back on the tree trunk, with the dense branches and leaves covering its figure, it finally let out a slow breath.

But it is still suppressed and silent.

There was a dull pain everywhere in his body.

A tearing pain came from inside the body.

It knows.

This is a sequelae.

In order to survive, being injured is nothing.

Even if you are scarred, as long as you can survive in the end.

Then everything is worth it.

...

The kid raised his head.

The crisscrossing branches are covered with layers of green leaves.

Moonlight leaked in between the branches and green leaves.

It illuminates a bit of the field of vision in front of it.

It tilted its head, its face looking pale and weak.

His eyelids drooped.

The serious injuries he had never experienced before and the thrill of escaping from death all made him feel very tired.

It's so tiring.

The inner emotions have never been completely relieved.

The nerves were always tense.

Remind it that the crisis is not over yet.

It squeezed the hand hanging by its side.

Thinking of that human being, its eyes were gloomy, but there was a trace of fear spreading across it.

From the bottom of its eyes to its entire face.

How could there be such powerful humans?

The kid's facial features are distorted.

How did it meet that human being?

That nasty, damn human... actually caused it such misery?!

it......

The kid wanted to say something harsh like revenge.

But he discovered the cowardice in his heart.

That human really makes it feel scared.

Even though it suffered such a big loss, it still accepted it.

It just wants to never see that human again.

Never again.

...

The little boy has many emotions.

It didn't fall asleep until a faint light appeared in the eastern sky.

The furrowed brow showed that it was not sleeping very peacefully.

...

At noon the next day, Grandma Zhang came downstairs after finishing her meal.

She slowly walked to her old place and sat down on the stone bench.

The kittens quickly gathered around.

She laughed.

He bent down and reached out to gently touch the kittens' heads.

"Meow~meow~"

The kittens nuzzled the old man's hand.

The warm, soft touch made the old man's eyes narrow.

...

After playing with the kitten for a while, the old man sat up straight.
