Chapter 265: Connecting the Water Pipe (3)
In her previous life, Xia Tian was too utilitarian, and her parents and relatives passed away, so she had to leave her hometown. Although she later achieved great success, when she thinks back on it now, her life at that time was completely filled with live streaming.
It’s very busy and the content is very fulfilling, but sometimes I just feel... a little empty.
Because every live broadcast is not purely about survival in the wilderness, but requires constant attention to background data, such as new views, new fans, barrage activity, etc. Many times, we are doing repetitive work just because these fans like to watch it.
Perhaps when a person deals with nature for too long, he or she will lose the basic ability to interact with others in human society, and often neglect his or her own life.
We often overlook the fact that in our busy lives, we still need some time to stop and appreciate the scenery.
"I'm going to take a walk around. I'll feel sleepy if I sleep during the day." In the end, Xia Tian still didn't agree to go back to rest. Instead, she stood up, stretched, and went out to inspect the location where the water pipes would be installed.
Si Ye took a look and confirmed that she was carrying the bone whistle, so he let her go.
But for an extra layer of insurance, he still asked Xiaoxue to follow him, "Follow Xia Xia, come back and tell me if there is anything."
Xiaoxue wagged her tail and said, "Awoo~"
[I know, I know. I want to go out and play! ]
Si Ye raised his chin and gave him a warning look, "Don't play around. If anything goes wrong, I'll come find you."
Xiaoxue blinked and said, "Awoo..."
[Okay, I will protect Sister Xia...]
…
Xia Tian was concentrating on examining the route of the water pipe and did not notice Xiaoxue following her. Instead, the movement in the bushes beside her caught her attention.
She originally thought it was just a small animal on the road, but it turned out that the movement kept following her, which was very strange.
Moreover, she always felt that the current scene... was somewhat familiar.
[Wait, isn't this similar to when Xia Xia first met Lao Si? He was also hiding in the bushes and following her the whole time, hahahaha]
[I don't know if you've noticed, but the old city lord did the same thing last time... Could it be that everyone in the Si family has this habit of hiding in the bushes?]
[I'm dying of laughter! Is the screenwriter toxic? Why is it always like this? Who's going to appear this time?]
[By the way, is there any danger? Xia Xia, be careful!]
Xia Tian was not worried about any major danger. This was the area around the cave. Generally, large beasts would not come close, let alone follow her so blatantly.
Therefore, it is more likely that there is something else hidden.
She stopped and observed for a while, then while no one was paying attention to the movement over there, she rushed forward and pushed aside the bushes.
Then, she saw a...very strange-looking...child?
It should be a little boy, only up to her waist. His eyes and skin are a light blue, extending from the back of his ears to his back, all covered with scales of the same color. He is thin and small, wearing a straw skirt that is torn and old, barely covering his vital parts.
The other party probably didn't expect that he would be discovered so quickly by a seemingly weak female. His light blue eyes opened wide, and the scales around his ears opened unconsciously, looking frightened and at a loss.
