C211 (2/2)

In the end, he glanced at the egret on the ground with some worry.

When night fell, many things that could not be done began to surface. Darkness was the best disguise. They could change themselves however they liked, but they could do things that were never accepted by others.

When I opened my eyes again, all I could see was darkness. I could only see the outline of something not too far away. However, the sounds that came and went in my ears told me that I was probably at the riverside right now.

The sound of water flowing slowly by their ears made them feel somewhat at ease.

Other than the surrounding dark environment, I didn't feel anything was wrong. Why did the other party have to do so much to bring me to this place?

He tried to get up from the ground, but due to the environment, he didn't dare to take a step forward. Instead, he carefully moved forward. Because he knew how powerful the water monkey was, he kept vigilantly looking at a place not too far away.

Faintly, I seemed to hear a long murmur of singing, the sweetest murmur of a young girl.

”It's dark now, and I've been looking forward to it every day. Dad, I've been looking forward to it, come back quickly. I'll get some good food when I get home, and I'll miss it for a thousand pounds.”

Her voice was slow, graceful, and even though the words were very straightforward, it clearly showed the pure wishes of the girl.

Since I've been wearing it here, I might as well take the initiative. Thinking that there's still the egret waiting for me, I have to muster up the courage and head in the direction of the song.

As my steps passed by, the sky started to slowly brighten. The light that was originally considered bright at night instantly turned into the early morning. The mist in the mountain hadn't completely dispersed yet, bringing with it a faint cyan color.

Although the visibility was not very high, he was still able to clearly see what was beneath his feet.

With every step he took, he gained a bit of confidence, not because of the lake mist.

”Tianqing! Tianqing! Abba, come back quickly! Take a look at Tianqing! Look at me —”

As I walked in, I felt that the voice was very familiar. Standing next to the tall grass, I could already see the girls washing clothes by the river.

They were two girls who wore identical clothes. Although their faces were unclear, it was as if the two of them squatting together were opposite of each other.

A happy smile appeared on both their faces, as if they had just thought of something joyful.

When I saw that the two of them weren't in much danger, I subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief. Just as I was about to step forward to greet them, I suddenly felt a slight movement from the grass by my side.

There was something I didn't know about that had stood there for so long.

Furthermore, I wasn't the only one who heard the commotion. The young lady who was washing clothes became vigilant as she looked at herself and said sternly, ”Who is inside!”

One of them was more daring. He held a washing stick in his hand and looked around with his almond-shaped eyes.

However, no one answered them.

Another young girl said fearfully, ”Sister, I think it's better if I go back. ”Ever since Abba left, I've been so scared!”

”Don't panic! Abba will protect us! ”Let's go!”
