"Waaaaaah... I was so scared, so scared! I thought I'd never see my master again..."
"Waaaaah, I was so scared, so scared!"
"I was so close, just a grain of rice away, and I was about to be caught by that person... Waaaaah, I thought I was going to die..."
"That's terrifying..."
Xiao Jiu returned to Lujia Village late at night, when everyone was sound asleep. Yun Duo was also sleeping, having a dream. She heard sobbing and a series of cries in her ears. Half asleep and half awake, Yun Duo thought she was having a nightmare.
It took me a while to come to my senses, still in a daze.
This is Xiao Jiu crying while hugging her little finger... Her little finger is wet, and it's clear that Xiao Jiu was terrified this time.
With this realization, Yunduo suddenly woke up, completely awake.
Yun Duo sat up abruptly, raised the hand that was holding her little finger to her eyes, and carefully lifted Xiao Jiu with her other hand, asking with concern, "Xiao Jiu, what happened? Is it dangerous?"
"Waaaaah, it was dangerous, so dangerous, Master! Little Jiu almost didn't get to see you again! It was so scary, so scary..." Little Jiu cried as she spoke to Yun Duo.
Yun Duo frowned unconsciously, a sense of guilt rising in her heart. She asked herself repeatedly, "Is it the person we met in town yesterday, the one I asked you to follow? What happened? Why are you only coming back now?"
Xiao Jiu sobbed as she spoke to Yun Duo, “Waaaaah, no, it wasn’t that person from yesterday. I went with that person to a very big city, I think it was the provincial capital of this place, it’s a bit far. I flew into his car and hid there, he didn’t notice me… I even ate something at their house…”
“Yesterday evening, he drove to some airport and picked up someone…” Xiao Jiu’s voice trembled at this point before she continued, “The person he picked up was terrifying…”
"I was hiding perfectly well and didn't do anything, but someone spotted me as soon as they got on the bus. If I hadn't run fast, I would have been dead..."
"He was slashing at me with a dagger, and it was just a hair's breadth away from hitting me..."
"After that, I never dared to fly near them again. I only dared to fly high and follow them from a distance, watching them walk along the same path they had come from before before I came back... Waaaaah... Master, I'm so tired from following them. I'm so tired and hungry. I flew hundreds of miles without resting properly or daring to stop and look for food..."
Yun Duo gently stroked Xiao Jiu and coaxed her softly, "Good Xiao Jiu, be good, you've worked hard. Don't be afraid, we won't cry anymore. Be good, it won't be dangerous when we get home, don't cry... Aren't you tired and hungry? There's no meat at home right now, I'll go get you some honey. Eat some honey first and then get a good sleep and rest, okay? Tomorrow morning when we get to town, I'll buy you some braised meat, the kind sold at Zhou Xiaopang's roast meat shop. It's very delicious, you'll definitely like it."
"After school tonight, I'll buy some meat and take it home so Grandma can cook it for you and you can eat your fill, okay?"
"Little Jiu, don't cry..."
