After a lot of to and fro, Little Apple and Lian Qiao's injuries were properly dealt with.
The wound on Little Apple's back, which was corroded by the blood of the hungry ghost, looked very frightening. Fortunately, there was no poison in the blood, at least it was not the type of major poison that would kill on touch.
Little Apple waited nervously for a long time and found that she was still alive and suddenly felt that her life was full of hope.
Before dawn, all three of them were no longer in the mood to sleep.
The fierce battle that night made the two adults injured. Although Lian Qiao was not as seriously injured as Little Apple, he was bitten by a hungry ghost and injured his right shoulder. During the fierce battle, he was overwhelmed by adrenaline and didn't feel anything. At this time, he calmed down and found that he had lost a chunk of meat on his shoulder and his whole arm could not move well. Even a slight movement would cause pain.
The two of them are different from Xu RenDong. The flow rate of a day becoming a year does not work on them. So it was unlikely the injury will be healed until they were released from the instance.
At this point, Little Apple's expression was very solemn.
Lian Qiao comforted her casually: "It's okay. Anyway, we have the crowbar. What are you afraid of when you have ghost treasures in your hands?
RenDong also said, "Hmm. I will grow up in a few days. I can also protect you guys."
Little Apple looked at little RenDong, who was only three years old at this time, and was moved to tears in her eyes. Soon she thought in a complicated mood: I don't know if I can live until the day you grow up!
Lian Qiao listened to the word "you guys" and felt it sounded very harsh. He couldn't help curling his lips and saying, "I don't need your protection. This small injury is nothing. Even if I hurt another arm, I will be better off than you."
What he said was in anger, because he cared too much about RenDong's words to Little Apple for no good reason. Unexpectedly, RenDong strangely took this seriously and apologized to him sincerely: "It's true. Your combat effectiveness is much better than mine. I'm being too arrogant."
Lian Qiao: "…"
Wuwuwuwu! Why was I so angry for? I also want to be protected by you!
Seeing that the two people were about to start spraying dog food again, Little Apple couldn't help rolling her eyes and forcibly changing the topic. She said, "Well, Boss RenDong, can you explain how you found that crowbars and Buddhist scriptures can cause harm to hungry ghosts? You two solved the puzzle in an instant as if you were holding a script. I can't keep up with your thoughts and I'm still confused."
Her question was actually the same as Lian Qiao's question. But Lian Qiao already knew that RenDong could not explain for some reason. At this time, seeing a trace of helplessness flash on RenDong's face, he knew that he still didn't want to say anything. So he deliberately said to Little Apple in a bad tone, "If you can lie down and win, just lie down and win. How can there be so much nonsense?"
Little Apple: "…" Looking down at the wounds all over her body, she couldn't help revealing a "Damn, do you call this lying down and winning?" expression.
RenDong seemed to notice something and aimed a deep look at Lian Qiao. Sure enough, he did not answer Little Apple but squeezed his lips tightly.
Little Apple pleaded insistently, "I'm really not as good as you, I'm stupid and inexperienced. So can you explain it to me kindly and compassionately? I really don't see the key to solving the puzzle this time. It doesn't matter if you two are the last level, but I still have several levels to go! If possible, I still want to grow myself, otherwise even if I win this time, what if I die next time?"
Lian Qiao snorted coldly, "You're so greedy. After being saved, you still ask so much. If I had known, I wouldn't have saved you and let you die this time."
Little Apple looked depressed: "What's the point of covering up the reasoning process? Tell me so that maybe I can help in the future! I just want to learn the boss's thinking. Why leave me hanging like this?"
The two of them were quarreling, and unconsciously it was dawn. RenDong cracked in front of the two and then the subtitles rose for the new year.
Little Apple: "Forget it, you're so stingy. I'm going back to sleep." Then she left the two of them.
Lian Qiao picked up Little RenDong and went back to their room. RenDong was silent all the way. It was not until Lian Qiao took off his blood-stained clothes and exposed the wound on his shoulder that RenDong said, "Does it still hurt?"
Lian Qiao subconsciously wanted to say that it didn't hurt but he turned his head and saw that a piece of meat had even been bitten off his shoulder. At this time, the gauze was still bleeding. It was obviously fake to say that it didn't hurt. He flattened his mouth aggrievedly and said coquettishly, "It hurts! It hurts so much."
RenDong lowered his eyes and was silent.
When Lian Qiao saw him like this, he regretted it immediately. What else can he do coquettishly at this time? What else can he do except make RenDong heartbroken for nothing? He was about to say that it didn't hurt at all and that he was lying, but then he saw little RenDong coming over and kissing him gently on the shoulder through the gauze.
Lian Qiao: "!!!" Although he didn't really touch him through the gauze, what's with the feeling of being kissed on the tip of his heart?
Lian Qiao was energetic in an instant and he giggled just like the stupid son of the landlord's family.
Little RenDong got into his arms like a cat lying on his master's lap. Lian Qiao couldn't help stroking his soft hair and his heart was suddenly filled with love, and he only felt that he had been resurrected with full blood.
"It doesn't hurt anymore. It really doesn't hurt anymore. Hehehehe." Lian Qiao narrowed his eyes with satisfaction, "You are really my special medicine…"
Little RenDong raised his head slightly to cater to him, and the corners of his mouth gently raised. It seemed that he also enjoyed this caress very much.
After a while, it's unknown what he remembered. RenDong opened his eyes again and sighed faintly.
"Do you really not feel suspicious of me?"
Lian Qiao: "Huh? What is there to be suspicious of?"
RenDong: "I am hiding things from you."
Lian Qiao tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Indeed, you seem to hide a lot of things from me."
A trace of gloom flashed in RenDong's and the sad wry smile floated up at the corners of his mouth: "Aren't you afraid that I will hurt you?"
"I'm not afraid." Lian Qiao answered without hesitation.
After he finished talking, he felt that he answered too quickly, which seemed to be very perfunctory and brainless. So he thought about it and said seriously, "We have been through life and death so many times together. If you were willing to hurt me, I would have died 1,800 times. But you sacrificed your life to save me every time.
As he spoke, he laughed again. The tenderness in his eyes was so thick that it almost overflowed from the end of his eyes.
"Don't you know how much you love me until now?" He gently stroked RenDong's cheek, "You love me so much that my heart hurts."
RenDong was stunned. Then he straightened up from his arms and looked up to kiss him.
The distance between the two was getting closer and closer. Lian Qiao's sight was completely attracted by the soft lips. For a moment, his mind rippled and he couldn't help reaching out and hooking his waist.
However, under this touch, it was clearly a strange and childish feeling, and Lian Qiao's heart was instantly alarmed.
"Hold up!" Lian Qiao slapped RenDong lips, "What do you want to do!"
RenDong was stunned and said, "Kiss you."
Lian Qiao: "No kissing! You are only three years old! Let's wait until you grow up!"
RenDong: "…"
After a moment of embarrassment, RenDong asked, "Can I kiss your face?"
Lian Qiao: "…" It's not impossible but I'm afraid I can't hold it in!
Lian Qiao repeatedly fought in his heart. RenDong raised his small face slightly and the face was pink and soft, like a peach, which was so cute that people's hearts melted. To be honest, Lian Qiao doesn't have any dirty thoughts towards such a small child but, after all, what is hidden in this young body is the soul of RenDong. He is his lover with whom he has been in love for a long time.
Not to mention whether he can hold it or not, he suspects that RenDong himself may not be able to hold it…
In order to avoid bad things, he righteously refused RenDong.
RenDong flattened his mouth in disappointment and asked, "When will it be available?"
Lian Qiao said casually, "At least seventeen or eighteen years old!"
"Okay." RenDong opened his fleshy little arms, hugged him, rubbed him gently around his neck with great attachment, and said softly, "Then we will wait until I'm seventeen."
Lian Qiao: "…" Calm down! Don't say that!
I will be so excited that I can't sleep for the next ten days!
Although Lian Qiao has a love brain, after all, this is in the instance and the law of death still needs to be observed.
It turned out that he also thought too much. In the next few days, other ghosts were found in the welfare home. For example, the vicious little female ghost who squats in the toilet to steal toilet paper, such as the cute and headless long-haired female ghost in white. His attention was turned to the instance again.
With a crowbar in hand, these ghosts are not difficult to fight. Even the little girl who stole toilet paper… once she was shown the crowbar, she screamed and hid in the wall. She never dared to come out to scare people again.
On the day when RenDong was seven years old, the surrounding environment changed without warning. As soon as the three of them opened their eyes, they found themselves standing on the street, in front of a XX primary school in front of them, surrounded by traffic as well as parents who were in a hurry to send their children to school.
"Why are you in the middle of the road! Is your house on the road!"
The grumpy driver pressed the horn desperately.
Lian Qiao and Little Apple were stunned for a second. Only then did Lian Qiao react: "Has the map changed?"
"En." RenDong pointed to the school across the road, "That's my primary school."
The intention of the instance is obvious, which is to make RenDong undergo nine-year compulsory education.
However, the bad thing is that the school is very strict. They not only needed to wear red scarves but they also do not allow parents to send their children into the campus.
Lian Qiao and the doorman guard were deadlocked at the gate for a long time. The other party refused to back down. RenDong pulled his sleeve and said that there was an unfinished building at the end of the street that seemed to have some problem. He should probably bring some weapons to explore it and maybe it can trigger some special plot.
Lian Qiao raised his eyes and looked into the distance. Indeed, there is a gray building standing far away at the end of the street. The style was gloomy and it looked haunted.
The new scene stimulated his desire to search and he couldn't help rubbing his hands and was eager to try. But after all, he couldn't rest assured regarding RenDong and insisted that he go to school with a crowbar.
RenDong looked at the two security guards who were looking at each other and said, "Do you think this is appropriate?"
Lian Qiao: "Why isn't it!"
After thinking about it, RenDong asked him to bend down and whisper to his ear, "If there is anything secret around the school, sneak in and come meet with me."
Sneaking into the campus through the secret path? A private meeting with RenDong behind the backs of teachers and classmates?
So exciting!
Lian Qiao got excited just by imagining it and the corners of his mouth rose crazily in an instant.
Witnessing this unbearable expression, Little Apple scolded in her heart: Do you know that you will be sentenced to three years for doing this! Beasts!
After being reminded by RenDong, Lian Qiao explored carefully around the school and found the secret way.
In fact, it's not a secret way, it's just the back door of the stationery store next to the campus. The owner of the stationery shop was beautiful and kind-hearted. She generously opened the back door and allowed Lian Qiao to see his baby son on the first day of school.
Lian Qiao went in and glanced around. He saw little RenDong sitting in the classroom, with his two little hands obediently on his knees and listening carefully. His heart suddenly surged with old father-like comfort.
My son finally went to primary school…
After confirming RenDong's safety, Lian Qiao remembered the thing that RenDong told before parting. Then he withdrew and went with Little Apple to explore the old building at the end of the street.
Unexpectedly, this time RenDong's words really hit the mark. There was actually a gang of beggars hidden in the unfinished building. The two rescued the abused little beggar and, on the way to the police station, they ran into another unexpected person.
The Monk!
The Living "I Will Recite Scriptures" Monk Player!
This was really a treasure.
In the afternoon of the same day, when Lian Qiao went to pick up RenDong after school, Lian Qiao excitedly told him all the achievements of the day. In the end, he sighed, "Everything you said has been right. You don't really have a script in your hand like Little Apple said, do you?"
Ren Dong: "…" Looking at the sky silently, he dared not speak.
Lian Qiao said to himself, "But our previous instances were all so difficult to pass, and each one got worse and worse. If you have the script and still play like this, you would be too bad… impossible, impossible…"
RenDong: "...!!!"
The seven-year-old child's face showed an expression as though he had just eaten shit. It seemed like there was a mouthful of old blood stuck in his throat. He can't spit it out and he can't swallow it.
He really wanted to die.
