My love game is too abstract.

Chapter 209 I will never run away from home again! (5.8k)

The next morning, Martha came to Ji Xiaofei's room and knocked on the door.

"Xiaoji, we should go home today."

No one responded.

"Is the child still awake?"

She couldn't help but frown and pushed open the door, but saw an empty room and Ji Xiaofei's backpack and luggage were gone.

"This is."

She picked up a piece of letter on the table.

"Hello. What a nice day today! What is this?"

Walking on the path wrapped in morning mist, Ji Xiaofei hummed a little tune and jumped around.

When I thought about setting off to the demon clan, I couldn't help but feel excited.

"Hmm, what delicious food could there be?" she thought to herself.

"And there will be succubus big sisters like Serena, hehe."

"If you can catch prey at the Beast Festival, you can become a hero."

With all kinds of beautiful thoughts in her mind, she arrived at the carriage station in the early morning.

Just as he was about to get on the carriage, he was stopped by the conductor at the door.

"Hey, buy a ticket." The ticket seller said unhappily.

"Oh." Ji Xiaofei took out her purse and took out a silver coin.
"Well, I'm going to Shadundun."

"What's that, Dun Dun? This is an intercity carriage, and the farthest destination is Sugar City." said the ticket seller.

"Then, let's go there." Ji Xiaofei didn't know where Suger City was, and she thought that as long as she got on the road, it would be fine.

The ticket seller took her one Sik, tore off a ticket and gave it to her, then stopped Xiao Ji who was about to leave again and found two Dhakas for her.

"What kind of kid is so stupid that he doesn't even know how to ask for change?" the ticket seller said unhappily.

Ji Xiaofei shrank her neck, took the money and got into the car quickly with some fear.

I found a place to sit down and held my backpack in my arms. After a while, the carriage started to shake and set off.

At first Xiao Ji was excited, but soon she became dizzy from the bumpy ride in the carriage and fell asleep leaning against the seat.

After an unknown amount of time, she opened her eyes with drool and found that the carriage had stopped.

"We've arrived."

She yawned, put on her backpack and got off the bus.

As soon as I got off the car, I saw an unfamiliar scenery.

A cool breeze blew by, and she still felt a little cold.

He shrank his neck, then turned to look at the driver who was smoking in the cab and asked, "Uncle, where is this?"

"Look for yourself, Sugar City!" said the driver, pointing to the license plate next to him.

Ji Xiaofei couldn't understand the license plate, so she asked, "So, how do we get to Shadundun?"

"What are you talking about?"

The driver was puzzled and didn't want to argue with a child, so he just pointed in a random direction.

"Go that way."

"Thank you uncle."

Ji Xiaofei thanked him and walked in the direction he pointed.

She found that the scenery here was different from what she had seen in the royal capital before. There were few people on the streets, and the buildings were old and dilapidated. Most of them were bungalows, and there were no beautifully decorated dessert shops.

However, she did see a small shop that was making fried food. What they were frying seemed to be chicken legs coated with flour, and then sprinkled with chili powder after taking them out of the pan.

good smell.

Ji Xiaofei swallowed her saliva. She hadn't eaten anything in the morning, so she stepped forward, took out her purse, and took out a Sik to give to the old woman.

"Hello, I want one of these fried thighs." Ji Xiaofei said.

"Okay, wait a moment." The old woman took the money with a kind smile and gave her thirteen ducats in change.

After a while, she got a hot fried chicken leg wrapped in oil paper.

I took a bite while it was still hot and opened my eyes wide in amazement.

"Good times."

She was walking on the street while eating fried chicken legs.

As she was walking, a man in a hat suddenly came up to her with a smile, rubbing his hands and said:
"Little sister, um, uncle, I lost my wallet, and now I'm in a hurry to buy bread for my child. I saw you spent a lot of money on fried chicken just now. Can you lend me some?"

Ji Xiaofei tilted her head as she looked at him, and then she remembered what Yaluo had taught her before, that she should be happy to help others, so she nodded and said:
"Oh that's fine."

She held the oil paper containing the chicken leg in her mouth and reached into her purse.
As soon as I took out the purse, the man suddenly snatched it away and turned around and ran away.

"My purse!"

Ji Xiaofei panicked and the chicken leg fell to the ground when she opened her mouth, but she didn't have time to care about it and hurriedly chased after him.

But how could she compare to the physical strength of an adult? She couldn't catch up in a short while and squatted on the ground panting.

"My wallet was stolen by a bad guy." She pursed her lips and looked like she was about to cry.

But she held back her tears and stood up.

"Hime-chan is going to be a hero! You can't cry over such a small thing!"

She sniffed and forced herself to hold back her tears.

Anyway, I still have a lot of snacks, so I can live for a while without money.

As she was thinking this, she was suddenly hit on the head by something and screamed in pain.

I rubbed my head and realized that it was my wallet that hit me!

"Wallet? Why is it back?" she asked puzzledly.

Then he opened his eyes wide.

"Is this the aura of a brave man?"

"It's a fart halo."

Yaluo stood on the roof beside the street, looking at the surprised Xiaoji below, and sighed helplessly.

He had followed her all the way here since morning, secretly observing her. He originally wanted to see if Xiao Ji could grow up on her own, but his wallet was stolen as soon as he left the station.

There's no point in moving forward after this.

"Hey, big brother, now that you've got my wallet back, can you let me go?"

Beside him, the thief, whose face was bruised and swollen, begged desperately.

"Want to leave?" Yaluo glanced at him.

The thief nodded repeatedly.

"Then it depends on your luck."

Ya Luo said and kicked him off the roof.

A scream made Ji Xiaofei pause. She turned her head to look at the roof above, but saw nothing.

"Well, although the wallet is back, the money is less."

She counted the coins inside and found only fourteen ducats.

What she didn't know was that this was the money Yaluo had specially left for her as fare for the bus ride back home.

Xiao Ji obviously didn't realize this, she just put the wallet into her bag and continued on her way.

Soon she was out of town and walking along the muddy country roads.

It was already noon and my stomach started to growl.

She looked around and found a big tree on the hill. She walked over and sat down, then took out some snacks from her backpack and started eating.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound above her head. When she looked up, she saw a dirty child sticking his head out from the tree branch, staring at her intently.

To be precise, he was staring at the snacks in her bag.

He jumped down, squatted on the side, and looked at her eagerly.

"It smells good."

"Do you want to eat?" Ji Xiaofei took out a bag of cookies and asked.

The child nodded quickly.

"Then I'll give it to you!" Ji Xiaofei said generously. She was happy to share.

The child was very surprised and immediately came over to take it, took out the cookie and started to eat it greedily.

The country kid had never eaten such city snacks before, so he stuffed his mouth full of them.

Seeing him eating so happily, Ji Xiaofei felt that she had helped him and was very happy.

"Don't worry, I still have plenty left after you finish eating. Hey?"

Her voice gradually lowered because she suddenly saw a lot of children suddenly appearing from the bushes around her. They were dressed simply and were drooling at the snacks in her bag.

"This and this"

Ji Xiaofei pursed her lips and instinctively hugged her backpack tightly, but seeing their eager eyes, she gritted her teeth and shared all her snacks with them.

In the end, the bag was empty and not even a piece of biscuit crumbs could be poured out.

"Well"

She felt uncomfortable when she saw a group of children in front of her eating their snacks while her stomach was still empty.

At this time, a little girl younger than her came up and pointed at her chicken-shaped backpack.

"This won't do! This is what Yalu bought for me! I can't give it to you!" Ji Xiaofei quickly hugged the backpack in her arms.

But the little girl pouted as if she had suffered some injustice.

Seeing her like this, Ji Xiaofei couldn't bear it anymore. After hesitating for a few seconds, she gave her the backpack.
The little girl ran away happily with her backpack.

"It's so difficult to practice as a brave man." Ji Xiaofei said dejectedly.

After sitting on the ground feeling depressed for a while, she was about to leave when she saw the girl coming back with her bag.

"These are for you, sis."

The little girl handed her back the backpack, which was already filled with small red berries.

Ji Xiaofei's eyes slowly widened, and she said in surprise and emotion: "Thank you!"

"hey-hey."

The little girl scratched her head embarrassedly, waved goodbye to her, and ran away.

"Is this the joy you get from helping others?" she thought as she looked at the little girl's back.

Holding the backpack, he took out a small berry from it and happily put it into his mouth.

Then all the facial features shrank together.

“So sour.”

After eating the berries while crying from the sourness, Ji Xiaofei continued on her journey.

The sun was shining brightly, and Ji Xiaofei felt hotter and hotter as she walked. Beads of sweat hung on her rosy little face, her body was wet, and even the soles of her feet were sticky.

She took off her jellyfish hat, then her shawl and coat and held them in her hands.

"It's so hot and I'm so thirsty."

She said with a shrug.

The berries just now made her salivate excessively. Now that she had come to her senses, coupled with the baking sun, she felt extremely thirsty.

I took off the water bottle on my back, raised my head, and waited for a long time before a drop of crystal clear water slowly dripped from the bottle mouth and fell on the pink little tongue.

She said, shaking the kettle in frustration.

At this moment, she suddenly heard the sound of running water and cheered up.

"It's the river!"

Immediately took the kettle and ran towards the river.

Soon we saw a river. It was quite wide and the water was clear. We could vaguely see the river bottom.

Ji Xiaofei took the kettle, filled it with water, and drank it all up.

Then he filled the kettle again and got up.

She saw some small fish swimming in the river and was immediately attracted.

Although my stomach was full of water, I still felt very hungry without food.

"By the way, I've seen Yaluo catch fish before. Should I catch some fish too?"

She thought of the first time she met Yaluo, when he caught fish along the way to feed her.

I thought of Yalu again.
She shook her head and looked at the little fish in the river seriously.

As long as you are fast enough, you will definitely catch one and then you can have grilled fish to eat.

She stared at the swimming fish and pounced on it suddenly.

With a splash, she fell into the river, her entire body submerged in the water.

"Help. Help!"

She struggled and tried to grab the river bank, but the soft soil fell away and she had no chance of getting a hold.

After going up and down in the river, I choked on water several times and my head started to hurt from choking on water.

At this critical moment, a force dragged her up.

The chick suddenly emerged from the water, gasping for breath.

Only then did she realize that the river only reached her chest.

"I was so scared." She touched her chest and said breathlessly.

However, when she looked around, she had no idea where the strength that had just supported her came from.

I climbed onto the shore. Although I didn't catch the fish, my body was completely wet, with water dripping down. My hair was also soaked and hung down on my head.

Coupled with the scorching sun, my whole body was wet and it was extremely uncomfortable.

"It's so uncomfortable," she said with a pout.

She wanted to take off her clothes, but then she remembered what Selena had taught her before: girls should not be naked casually.

I had no choice but to keep my clothes on.

"What should I do?" she thought in distress.

At this moment, I turned my head and saw a set of clean clothes hanging by the woods on the side.

She walked over and found that it actually fit her.

"But... Selena said we can't just take other people's things," she said.

So he sighed, turned around and wanted to leave.

As I turned around, I suddenly saw a sign in front of me that said: "Free clothes available."

"What's written on it?" she asked puzzledly.

Turning around again, I saw another sign, this time with a picture on it: Two coins equal one piece of clothing.

"Do you mean to exchange coins for clothes?"

She tilted her head and thought for a while, then took out two dakar coins, looked around, and put them under the sign. Then she took off her clean clothes, ran into the bushes, and changed herself.

After changing into clean clothes, I finally felt a lot fresher.

"Thank you." She bowed to the wooden sign and continued on her way.

It was already afternoon, and Ji Xiaofei was getting hungrier and hungrier as she walked, but she had nothing to eat.

She tried to look for the berries she had just eaten in the woods, but found nothing.

She was so hungry that she sat down on the side of the road.

Normally at this time, people at home should start eating snacks, eating the sweet cakes, puddings and cookies prepared by Selena or Vinya with Lulula, the peach fox. Selena would also tell her stories, and Yalu would take her out to play.

As she thought about it, Ji Xiaofei's nose started to feel sore again.

"Selena Yalo"

She felt like crying, but she still tried hard to hold back her tears.

He wiped his eyes, then stood up and continued walking.

As we walked, we suddenly saw a farm in front of us, which was much bigger than John's.

There are herds of cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, and fields of wheat.

Ji Xiaofei touched her empty belly, hesitated, and walked in.

As soon as she walked in, she saw two women carrying milk buckets and walking in, talking and laughing. They were very surprised to see her.

"Little girl, where are you from?" asked one of the fat women.

"My name is Ji Xiaofei. I am leaving home."

She was too embarrassed to say that she was a brave warrior in cultivation. She pursed her lips, lowered her head, and tugged at her skirt.

"I'm hungry, can you give me something to eat?" she pleaded in a low voice.

"Of course!" one of the women agreed immediately. "Come in!"

"no!"

Just as she was about to go in, she heard a scolding. It was a tall man with a big beard, muscular body, and a cigarette in his mouth.

"Baal, she's just a child. What's wrong with giving her something to eat?" the fat woman said dissatisfiedly.

"I run a farm, not a welfare home. No one can eat for free here. Even a dog has to be able to herd sheep to be eligible for food!" The man named Bal snorted coldly.

He looked at Ji Xiaofei, who shrank her neck because of the glare.

"Little boy, if you want to eat, then work and clean up the sheep pen, otherwise get out of here!"

After that he left.

"This guy's temper has always been so annoying!"

The fat woman said, but she couldn't object to his decision, so she had to take Ji Xiaofei to the sheep pen.

"Right here, kid. Just shovel the sheep manure off the ground, put the wool in the corners into the sacks, and replace the straw with new ones. Oh, and wipe the tags on the sheep too. And fill the water trough."

Ji Xiaofei was overwhelmed by what she heard.

The fat woman left, leaving Ji Xiaofei alone here. Looking at the sheep in the sheepfold bleating at her, she hunched her body in distress.

"So tired."

By the time she had poured the last bucket of water into the trough, filling it up, she was so exhausted that she fell to the ground on all fours.

She has never done any housework at home. Although everyone cleans their own room, her room is usually cleaned by Selena or Vinya. Although Selena sometimes asks her to clean it herself, she always does it perfunctorily, and in the end Selena has to do it again.

It felt like I had finished all my life's work in just one afternoon.

The corners of her mouth twitched twice, and she couldn't help but miss that figure in her heart.

I miss the carefree days at home.

If only I hadn't run away from home.

"I'm sorry, Serena. I was wrong."

She said with a trembling figure.

Just as she was reminiscing, a sheep came over, bent its head and started chewing her fur.

"Don't bite my ahoge!"

Ji Xiaofei got up angrily and pushed the sheep away.

"Come, eat, eat." The fat woman brought bread and carrot soup and placed them in front of her with a smile.

"Thank you!"

Ji Xiaofei said excitedly. She was already starving, her eyes sparkling with hunger. She immediately picked up a piece of bread, dipped it in the carrot soup, and began to gobble it up.

"Okay, what is this?"

Ji Xiaofei's mouth was full and she spoke incoherently.

"It's just carrots, but with some green peppers added. This is a unique recipe on our farm." The fat woman said with a smile.

"Carrots? Green peppers?" Ji Xiaofei was stunned. These were vegetables that she had never eaten before. How could they taste so delicious?

I had wasted so many delicious foods!

She ate in big mouthfuls, leaving not even a crumb or soup behind.

After eating, she hesitated and looked at the fat woman: "Can I stay here overnight?"

"Oh, I asked Bal, and he said yes," said the fat woman.

"Thank you! That room."

The fat woman pointed to the haystack behind her.

Ji Xiaofei stood there in a daze, and lowered her head for a moment.

The moonlight was like water, shining through the hole in the roof, onto the haystack and onto the blonde girl who was sleeping among the sheep.

Two figures came to the sheep pen.

"Thank you for your help." Yaluo said to Bal.

"It doesn't matter. It's just according to your request." Bal said.

"I know it's not easy for you parents, so I'll help as much as I can."

"Haha." Yaluo smiled helplessly.

"Then I won't bother you anymore." Bal patted his shoulder and left.

Yaluo walked up to Ji Xiaofei and touched her face which was slightly stained.

"Xiao Ji." He called softly.

Ji Xiaofei slowly woke up, opened her hazy eyes, and saw three figures in front of her overlapping and turning into the appearance of Yaluo.

"Yaluo." She rubbed her eyes. "Is it morning yet? I..."

She suddenly remembered that she had run away from home and should be in...
She saw that there was still a sheep pen beside her, but Yaluo really appeared in front of her, smiling at her.

"It's time for us to go home," he said.

"Go home." Ji Xiaofei blinked and lowered her head, "But, but I ran away from home."

"I know. Hasn't he been away for two whole days? It's time for him to come back now, right?" Yaluo said.

"Selena is anxiously waiting at home, and everyone misses you very much."

Xiao Ji's mouth corners trembled, her nose felt sore, and her eyes couldn't help but become hazy.

Yaluo touched her head and asked jokingly:
"How does it feel to be away from home?"

Now Ji Xiaofei couldn't bear it anymore. Her nose felt sore and she rushed over to hug Yaluo and burst into tears.

"Yes, I'm sorry! I, I was wrong, I was wrong! I, I will never, ever be willful again, and I will never run away from home again!"

"Yalo! I'm fine. I miss you so much. And Serena, Peach Fox, Lulula, Vinya, Zeshia, woo, woo."

Ya Luo hugged the crying Ji Xiaofei, sighed helplessly, and gently stroked her back.
