Chapter 197

After the 24-hour observation period, Yu Tu returned to the teahouse with his vest. He felt a little nervous when he put his hand on the carved wooden door.

If Xiao Hui found out that Buyehou came back with injuries all over his body...

Yu Tu subconsciously glanced at his vest—his complexion looked like he had lost too much blood; there was a bloodstain on his cheek that had just scabbed over, and his expression was listless; on his body, gauze was wrapped from his chest to his neck... He didn't look like someone who was fine!

They had to face it sooner or later anyway. Yu Tu and Ma Jia looked at each other and pushed open the door with a fearless attitude.

As soon as the door was opened, Xiao Hui squatted on the spot with a sullen face, without even wagging his tail. Yu Tu could actually tell from the furry dog's face what impending storm meant.

Xiao Hui: "Woof."

Yu Tu: “…”

He didn't even dare to activate the translation function of the contract in his mind.

Xiao Hui: "Woof."

Yu Tu and the vest looked at each other, and the original body spoke faster than the vest: "We were wrong."

Ma Jia pretended not to see Xiao Hui, slipped into the recliner behind the counter, lay down, and pretended not to be there.

Yu Tu clearly saw Xiao Hui sneer, and then his mighty voice filled the entire teahouse—

“Woof woof! Woof woof woof! Woof woof! Woof!!”

I don't understand, but it's very fierce.

In a rage, Little Gray pointed at the empty seat with his paw, meaning "Go away first, I'll settle the score with you later." Then he walked to the side of Buyehou and patted his calf with his paw.

Pretending to be dead was no longer possible, Buyehou could only slowly open his eyes: "It was not my intention to get hurt, Xiaohui."

To Yu Tu's surprise, Xiao Hui did not continue to lose his temper. He just looked at Buyehou quietly. Yu Tu felt that the companion contract in his mind was constantly trembling, as if Xiao Hui wanted to convey something.

Yu Tu connected with a guilty conscience, not scolding him, but worried, dog-like heartbeats—

[So many wounds...did you run into a bad guy?]

As they got closer, Xiao Hui could smell the blood and medicine on the man in front of him. Yesterday, he felt that the situation on the other end of the companion contract was critical, but he could do nothing but worry. He felt as if he had returned to the time when this man fell into a coma for no reason and could not be awakened.

It is protected, well-fed, warmly clothed, and will not be hurt, but those who sign a companionship contract with it are always hurt.

How exactly does it do this?

Xiao Hui thought about it all night and couldn't fall asleep.

[There are so many wounds. It hurts.]

Yu Tu heard Xiao Hui's heartbeat, which was distressed and a little tearful. A weak but pure spiritual power passed through the contract and was transmitted to Buye Hou.

【Spiritual power, healing.】

Spiritual power cannot heal wounds, and after being converted into energy it is almost nothing, but Yu Tu did not say anything.

He simply bent down, picked up the depressed Xiao Hui, placed him on his body while avoiding the wounds, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Xiao Hui."

Yu Tu saw Xiao Hui looking up at him and suddenly burst into tears. The blue-gray hair around his eyes was wet, but he remained silent.

"Why are you crying?" Yu Tu reached out to wipe its tears and comforted it, "These wounds just look scary, they will heal in a few days. The spiritual energy transmitted by Xiao Hui is very useful, the wounds don't hurt."

Xiao Hui's tears fell even more violently, and he could not wipe them away no matter how hard he tried. He hooked Buyehou's sleeve with his claws and wiped it on his face. Soon a large dark stain appeared on the sleeve.

The heartbeats coming from the contract were choked, but the puppy's mouth was harder than a duck's.

【No, no, I didn’t cry. 】

[Every time, I am the one waiting for you at home. This time, I will let you wait for me, woooo, woooo-woooo———]

Yu Tu felt something was wrong, so he asked, "What do you mean by 'let me wait for you'?"

Little Gray, whose tears were falling violently, froze up completely. He cried so much that he exposed himself.

Regret was written all over that furry dog ​​face. Xiao Hui's tears were still in his eye sockets, and his expression was a little evasive.

The heart sounds have become very quiet and can hardly be heard without careful listening:

[The cabinet is not locked...]

Yu Tu was stunned.

There was nothing in the cabinet except for some books and a stack of one-way sound notes. Yu Tu opened the cabinet and took a look, and found that two one-way sound notes were missing from the bottom.

The last five notes in this stack of sound transmission notes are specially made. Each of them can directly connect to Jiang Jiang. Yu Tu had used one before, and now there are only two left. It is obvious who used the missing two notes.

Perhaps it was because he mobilized a large amount of energy in the town tower, and his own state changed drastically in a short period of time, and Xiao Hui would also be affected through the companion contract. Yu Tu just didn't expect that Xiao Hui would actually take out the special talisman to ask Jiang Jiang for help.

"It's my fault." Yu Tu wiped away the tears that Xiao Hui had unknowingly cried out, "I'm sorry for making you worry."

Xiao Hui closed his eyes and rubbed the palm of Buyehou. The palm of the contractor was very cold, like ice cream.

It continued to transmit no heart sounds and did not speak.

Since it came home, it has been protected and lives happily every day.

But the contractor was not happy.

He will be sad, unconscious, injured, and harmed by bad people outside.

Xiu Gou does not understand the complexity of human hearts. His thoughts are pure and simple—he wants to protect his family.

That's all.

…

After finally calming Xiao Hui down, Yu Tu finally understood the whole story from Xiao Hui's heartbeat.

After sensing that the other end of the companion contract was changing drastically in a bad direction and unable to contact anyone, Xiao Hui was anxiously running around in the teahouse. Finally, he took out the sound transmission talisman and contacted Jiang Jiang. At that time, Yu Tu was in the gate of the void. The void would isolate him from the outside world, so he naturally did not notice the changes in the companion contract.

Because of Xiao Hui's request for help, Song Tu, who was stationed in Chongming City yesterday, rushed over immediately. Xiao Hui also lit a sound transmission note to contact Jiang Jiang... The language barrier increased the difficulty of communication. In short, after this trip, the final result was that Xiao Hui decided to run away from home, no, to become an apprentice to learn skills.

Yu Tu used energy to reinforce the balance of the two alien bloodlines in Xiao Hui's body. Although it would not endanger its life, it also suppressed its growth. The stronger the two alien bloodlines were, the more intense the conflict would be, and a trade-off had to be made.

Yu Tu had intended to give Xiao Hui a happy childhood, letting it slowly feel the difference between the two alien beast bloodlines, and then choose the one it liked to inherit and cultivate. Unexpectedly, the plan could not keep up with the changes.

Yu Tu did not mean to blame Xiao Hui. It is normal for children to have their own ideas when they grow up.

"You have two kinds of alien blood in your body. After you start practicing, it will be painful to remove either one of them." Yu Tu hugged Xiu Gou, who was crying and hiccuping, and said, "Xiao Hui, have you really thought it through?"

The puppy's eyes became wet again as his body was shaking from the hiccups, but he kept nodding: "Woof!"

Think it through!

Yu Tu sighed: "Do you have an agreed time?"

Xiao Hui held Buyehou's hand, and it had been trying to warm it for a while, but it still couldn't warm it up: "Woof..."

When you come back...

Isn't that just these two days?

*

"Hello, senior."

The next day at noon, Song Tu drove to the door of the teahouse. As soon as he stepped through the door, he felt something was wrong.

Right in front of them on the ground, there was an extremely large suitcase, which made the little gray girl squatting under it look very cute.

Song Tu: “……?”

He was shocked: "This is... Xiao Hui's luggage?"

Xiao Hui raised his head in confusion: "Woof?"

Although he didn't understand what Xiao Hui said, Song Tu could guess what he meant after dealing with him so many times. He squatted down and looked at Xiao Hui: "Xiao Hui, you don't need to prepare so much luggage for the place you are going."

Song Tu could probably guess what Xiao Hui brought. It was nothing more than his favorite snacks and toys that he usually played with. When they were put together, there was a big box.

He said seriously and solemnly: "If you want to become stronger quickly, the place you are going to will be very hard, there will be almost no time for fun, and there will be regulations on eating and drinking."

What he meant was that if you can't stand such harshness, then you shouldn't have made such a decision in the first place.

Little Gray didn't quite understand, but he knew that he couldn't take the big box that the contractor had stuffed into his pocket.

Xiao Hui felt a little lost.

It thought that once it became super powerful, it would be able to come back.

It stretched out its paw and pushed the box inward: "Woof."

Then I won’t bring any.

Xiao Hui patted Song Tu's leg: "Woof!"

Let's go.

After saying this, it jumped over the threshold and ran directly to the car driven by Song Tu.

Xiu Gou didn't dare to look back, for fear that he would shed tears. He didn't want to leave after looking back, even though Xiao Hui had said goodbye countless times before Song Tu came, and made countless promises in his heart. But when the separation really came, he was still sad.

Xiao Hui ran cleanly and efficiently, but Song Tu couldn't do the same. Song Tu looked at Buye Hou, who had been particularly silent since he came in, and had the illusion that he was a bad guy who kidnapped cubs.

"Senior," he said, "we will take good care of Xiao Hui."

As if to ease Buyehou's mind, he joked, "It's normal for parents to feel sad when their children leave home."

"I'm really reluctant to let go." Song Tu heard Buyehou sigh, "But... the cubs have to grow up."

In the companion contract in consciousness, Xiao Hui sent a heart voice:

[I will be back soon, and then I will protect you and drive away all the bad guys.]

【Wait for me, I'll be home soon! 】

Yu Tu responded with a "OK" through the companion contract in his consciousness.

"Let's go." He smiled faintly, "Be careful on your way."

Song Tu was not good at speaking, so in such a sad atmosphere of parting, he turned around and waved: "Senior, we are leaving now, please take care of yourself!"

He got in the car and started it. The black armored vehicle slowly drove away from the street. Song Tu glanced at the rearview mirror. In the rearview mirror, Buyehou was standing at the door of the teahouse and watching them leave. The faint smile on his face was gone. The sunlight was shining on him, and there were black shadows under his feet. He looked a little lonely.

But as the distance increased, the Buyehou gradually became a blurry dot, and when he turned a corner, he could no longer see anything.

In the back seat, Xiao Hui had already started to shed tears.

Song Tu comforted him, "Don't cry, Xiao Hui. There will always be a day when you can go back, right?"
