It turns out that not all monsters are as friendly to him as Huzi.

That time, if it weren't for Hu Zi, he would have been in danger.

The old man was so close to death for the first time.

He also learned a lesson from this.

I no longer stare at monsters with a look of novelty and excitement on my face.

He learned to keep a distance from monsters other than Huzi.

...

From the first time I met Hu Zi, he has become an old man in his late seventies.

It's been a really long time.

The old man suddenly felt emotional.

I also have the desire to talk.

And there was a perfect person to talk to right in front of me.

He doesn't need to cover up and can freely talk about Hu Zi's affairs.

"Xiao Xiao."

The old man looked at Xiao Xiao, his eyebrows relaxed and his voice soothing, "Would you like to hear my story?"

"certainly."

Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded.

...

Xiao Xiao's simplicity made all the uncertainty in the old man's heart dissipate.

He smiled.

After a few seconds of silence, the old man recounted his life.

...

At that time, the old man was just a child in the sixth grade of elementary school.

He went to his grandmother's house to spend the summer vacation.

At night, he ran alone to the woods in the back mountain to look for fireflies.

Because he never found fireflies, he unknowingly went deeper into the forest.

By the time he responded, he was already lost.

The branches of the tall trees were criss-crossed, blocking a bit of the already hazy moonlight.

The child feels uneasy.

One of them stumbled without noticing.

Fortunately, before he fell, he hurriedly held on to the nearby trees.

However, the man steadied himself, but the palms of his hands that were holding on to the tree trunk were scratched by rough sawdust.

A slight tingling sensation came from the palm of my hand.

The child tried hard to look at the palm of his hand through the moonlight leaking through the gaps between the leaves and branches.

There are two blood stains.

The child stopped.

The dim vision magnified the uneasiness in his heart.

It also faintly aroused the fear in his heart.

…

The child tried to remember the way back.

The stopped steps moved forward again.

As if in response to the increasingly rapid and disorderly heartbeat, the child's steps became faster and faster.

Finally, he started running.

…

In the quiet and eerie mountain forest, the only sounds that could be heard were his panicked and increasingly heavy footsteps and his breathing that became faster and louder.

There was a dull pain in the chest.

But he didn't want to stop.

The unfamiliar environment around him made him more and more anxious.

Why...haven't I seen the familiar scenery yet?

…

However, he fell down as a result of running around in the dimly lit mountain forest at night.

But this time, he was not as lucky as before.

He fell firmly to the ground.

Splashing dust all over the ground.

For a moment, he lay on the ground unable to move.

…

Until he felt something touch his body.

The child raised his head subconsciously.

His dirty face was stained with tears.

He looked extremely embarrassed.

…

The child turned his head.

The next second, his eyes suddenly widened.

There was a look of horror on his face.

Old tiger?!

Suddenly, the news of tigers eating humans flashed through his mind.

Then, his mind went blank.

He doesn't even know how to breathe anymore...

The child's whole body was stiff, and the pain from the fall that had subsided became extremely obvious.

He...is going to be eaten...

…

The tiger bumped the boy's side with his head.

He tilted his head and looked at the child with eyes that seemed to show disdain for the child's appearance at this time.

The child was stunned.

He blinked.

He blinked again.

The tiger seemed to have no intention of eating him?

The tiger didn't open his big mouth, and the aura around him was very peaceful, even a bit lazy.

Did he encounter the tiger when it was full?

Thinking of this, the child breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

However, the fact that the tiger was so close to him still made the child's heart beat fast.

He carefully tried to straighten up.

He is still lying on the ground with his head raised.

Don't say anything awkward.

Looking at the "tiger" from the bottom up, I always feel that the "tiger" is more intimidating.

The child swallowed with great difficulty.

I almost choked myself.
