567 Acknowledging Junior Brother 2
“It’s fine, it’s fine. I’m your Senior Sister.”
Su Xiaolu waved her hand generously. A senior Sister was similar to an elder sister. It was normal for an elder sister to love her younger brother.
More importantly, the feeling that Little Niu gave her made her want to protect him.
Su Xiaolu was actually very emotional. She easily empathized with others’ emotions.!!
With just a few words, she knew that it wasn’t easy behind the scenes. But even after experiencing hardships, Little Niu was still so optimistic and warm. She didn’t care about others, but she had to protect this Junior Brother.
She had never starved before, but she knew that it was not good to starve. Humans had always been lazy animals. They would store food and plan ahead. Therefore, she could not imagine how someone would live if they were destined to be in danger.
He had the ability to earn money, but he couldn’t keep it at all. This was actually quite cruel.
Little Niu seemed to know everything. He waved his hand and said with a smile, “Thank you, Senior Sister. I’m very happy that Senior Sister likes me.”
After eating and drinking their fill, Su Xiaolu brought Little Niu back to the small courtyard.
When they returned to the small courtyard, Old Wu and the others had already returned.
Little Niu walked towards Elder Niu and called out obediently, “Master.” Then, he stood beside him.
Elder Niu pinched Little Niu’s cheeks. “Little Niu, did you bring anything delicious for Master?”
Little Niu nodded. “Yes, Master. Senior Sister bought a lot of jerky.”
Elder Niu smiled kindly and weighed Little Niu’s small bag. “Not bad, not bad. This is enough for the two of us to eat for a while. You have to hide it well. Don’t reveal your wealth, understand?”
Little Niu nodded and returned to his room.
“It’s getting late. Su girl, thank you for your hospitality. We’re leaving tomorrow. We’ll meet again if fate allows.”
Elder Niu cupped his hands at Su Xiaolu and said goodbye gently and kindly.
Su Xiaolu was a little reluctant. “Are you leaving so soon?”
If they stayed for two more days, she would be able to bring Little Niu to eat more delicious food.
Elder Niu smiled benevolently. “Fate gathers and disperses. It’s all predestined. This separation is for the next reunion. If you miss the kid in the future, we can communicate by letters.”
With that, Elder Niu walked back to his room. Without looking back, he waved at Old Wu and Gui You.
“Girl, have a good sleep. We’ll pack up tomorrow. We’re leaving the day after tomorrow. I heard that there’s fog in the forest in the south. Those who walked into the fog had disappeared. There’s even the faint roar of wild beasts. Let’s go over and take a look.”
Old Wu said to Su Xiaolu.
Su Xiaolu nodded. She had been in Qinghai for long enough and had gained something.
Although she also wanted to catch one of the big Kuns in the sea, it wasn’t the right time yet. She felt a sense of crisis and her heart tightened.
This fully showed that she was not strong enough. At this time, the best thing to do was to avoid it.
The worlds were fusing and strange phenomena appeared everywhere. She should take a look around.
After returning to her room, Su Xiaolu couldn’t sleep, so she quietly snuck out.
She couldn’t give Little Niu a lot of money. She could only give him food, some food that could be stored for a long time.
From Elder Niu’s instructions to him, Su Xiaolu determined that even if it was food, it had to be hidden well.
Su Xiaolu came to Zhou Zhi’s residence.
Jin Si told her to wait for a while, but just as he finished speaking, Zhou Zhi came over.
He sat on the wooden wheelchair and gently turned the wheel over. He waved Jin Si and the others away and said with a faint smile, “Xiaolu, I knew you were here the moment you arrived. Guess why?”
Of course, Su Xiaolu did not know. After thinking about it, she shook her head. “Why?”
Zhou Zhi stopped in front of her. He reached out and rolled up his sleeves. The fresh green ring marks explained everything.
Zhou Zhi rubbed his wrist with his fingers and explained, “Because of this, I can sense it through plant roots. Everyone feels different, so I knew when you came.”
In fact, as long as he was not far from Su Xiaolu, he could sense her. This ability was terrifying. It was equivalent to saying that as long as his ability was enough, everything in the world could be his eyes.
Plants and vegetation could be seen everywhere in this world.
Even in the freezing cold, there were still tenacious weeds sprouting and growing.
“Wow, that’s amazing.”
The wood mark had endless potential.
In fact, it was not just wood. There was also wind, fire, lightning, water, and so on. They might have already appeared in the world, or they might not have. These treasures were still waiting to be excavated.
“Fourth Brother, congratulations. Your suffering didn’t go to waste.”
Su Xiaolu was happy and in a good mood. At least it seemed that Zhou Zhi’s hard work had not been in vain.
“This thing still has many uses. It’s just that I haven’t discovered it yet. However, I’ll slowly figure it out in the future.”
He could feel that he had not fully utilized this mark. He still needed to slowly comprehend the true ability of the mark.
“Fourth Brother, I want to ask you for a favor.”
Su Xiaolu remembered why she was here.
Zhou Zhi looked at her gently. “What favor?”
Su Xiaolu told him her request. She wanted to get some dried sea fish in a short period of time, and they must be easy to carry. They were those that could make fish wool and were sealed with special things so that she could hide them well.
Elder Niu and Little Niu were poor. They didn’t bring many things with them, so they had to hide the things they brought with them.
Zhou Zhi understood immediately. He arranged for the afternoon. Four hours later, someone delivered what Su Xiaolu wanted.
After the fish wool was compressed, it was already very dry. It was like a piece of cloth that was sewn onto clothes. If it was taken off and boiled in water, it would expand and there would be a lot.
Su Xiaolu took the clothes back.
Before dawn, she saw figures coming out of the courtyard from afar. One was tall and the other was short. Who else could it be but Elder Niu and Little Niu?
The two of them tried to be quiet. They didn’t even make a sound when they walked. They left just like that without looking back.
Su Xiaolu chased after them.
“Su girl, why are you here?”
Elder Niu was a little surprised.
“Senior Sister, are you here to send us off? Thank you.”
Little Niu was shocked and happy.
Su Xiaolu handed the two clothes to Elder Niu and Little Niu. She said, “Uncle-Master Niu, Junior Brother, there’s a big use in these clothes for you. When you’re hungry on the way, pick some cotton and cook it. Time is tight, so I can only make this for you.”
Fortunately, she could make it in time. If she had been half an hour later, she would not have encountered them.
Little Niu smiled and reached out to tug at Elder Niu’s sleeve.
Elder Niu took it with a smile and said kindly, “Thank you for your kind intentions, Su girl. We’ll accept it. It’s getting late and we should leave. Goodbye, girl.”
Little Niu smiled at Su Xiaolu, looking very cute and bright. “Goodbye, Senior Sister.”
Su Xiaolu waved back. “Goodbye.”
Elder Niu left with Little Niu. Su Xiaolu didn’t return home until she couldn’t see them anymore. As soon as she opened the door, she realized that Old Wu and Gui You were up. She felt a little confused. The Masters weren’t asleep, so why didn’t they send them off?
