to blame

Waking up from the dream, Ming Xia was stunned for a long time.

He knew that the crane in the dream was Jiu Xiao, the ancestor of the Ming family, and the man it followed, Bai Hao, seemed to have a complicated history.

Since he dreamed of Jiuxiao for the first time, he also checked some information.Some people say that Baizhen is one of the four guardians around Nuwa, together with Baize, Qilin and Tengshe, they are called the four great beasts.In the end, he followed Nuwa and mended the sky with his body.

There are also articles that say that the white cat is a female, and the Teng snake is a couple.Legend has it that when the Three Realms were in turmoil, they assisted Nu Wa in subduing the Qinglong, White Tiger, Xuanwu and Suzaku, which caused troubles for the common people, and finally became a god.

But the Bai Hao that Ming Xia saw was not the image of a woman, which didn't match all the information he found.As a result, Ming Xia lost the interest in reading the unconstrained writing in the back.

It has been two days since he fully woke up from the coma. Grandpa Ming has already left for his hometown. Maybe when he comes back, he will bring back some information about the history of the Ming family.

The ancestors of the Ming family lived in a small place called Mingjiatun near Zhalong Wetland for generations.It is said that the place is very remote and the traffic is not very convenient.Ming Xia once heard his father talk about going back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, but in their generation, only the eldest son of the uncle's family went back with the old people.

Ming Xia wondered why he hadn't thought of this level before. Zhalong Wetland is a national nature reserve and the hometown of China's famous red-crowned cranes.Maybe there are other crane demons living there?Or, the entire Mingjiatun is actually descended from monsters?

Ming Xia shivered for a moment, feeling that his brain hole was... scared to death.

Ming Xia was still recovering from his injuries, and spent more than half of the day sleeping.In fact, the skin wounds on his body are almost healed, and Mr. Hu refused to let him leave the hospital, mainly because of internal injuries.

The collision with the water scorpion, although it hit the protective shield, was the body of the water scorpion. Even if only a small part of that huge impact was transferred to Ming Xia, it would still be enough for him to drink a pot .In the original words of Mr. Hu: If it weren't for the protective shield passed down from the Ming family, Ming Xia would probably be shattered into pieces from head to toe.

The food in the inpatient department of the "sixth group" is quite particular.Not only is there a combination of meat and vegetables, but also there is a tonic soup for every meal, sometimes fish soup, sometimes chicken soup, and various medicinal materials are added.

Ming Xia discussed with the little nurse with a bitter face, "Can I not drink?"

"No." The little nurse persuaded him with a blushing face, "You have suffered an internal injury, you need to make up for it."

Ming Xia raised his forehead, "That can't be made up according to the standard of confinement. This white soup...isn't it a breastfeeding? Sister?"

The little nurse held back a smile and helped him serve the soup, "No. I promise."

Ming Xia wanted to say that your guarantee was not credible at all, so she heard someone laughing outside the door, and a crisp voice was still there and asked very studiously, "Is it the effect of the formula? Or did you get some magic grass? Can you breastfeed?"

Ming Xia became angry from embarrassment, "Sister Nurse, can I order food for dinner? I want starling soup! Or fox soup is also fine!"

Qingqiu, "..."

The little nurse couldn't help but laugh too, told the visitors about the visiting time and hurried out.If she didn't leave again, she felt that her stomach was about to cramp.

"Why are you still angry?" Qingqiu curled up on Nanjiang's shoulder and looked in, asking Nanjiang in a murmur, "It's not that he himself said he wanted to go down..."

Ming Xia stared at it, "Try to mention that word again."

Qingqiu wisely shut up.

Nan Jiang carried it into the ward, and stuffed a bagful of fruit into the bedside cabinet. When he got up, he saw Ming Xia staring at the soup bowl with a sad face, and couldn't help laughing, "This soup is really delicious. This is Hu The formula given by Mr. Hu, the nurse station will call Mr. Hu every day to report."

Ming Xia turned his face away, "What kind of soup is this...Have you never drank tonifying soup for bullying us little people?"

Qingqiu cautiously moved over to sniff it, then quickly took two steps back, thinking to himself what a strange smell it was, no wonder Ming Xia was so frightened.

Qingqiu rubbed Ming Xia's wrist sympathetically, "I'll bring you whatever you want to eat, and the captain said that he can come over during lunch break tomorrow."

Ming Xia patted its little head, and forgave it for following suit.

"How do you feel?" Nanjiang sat down beside his bed, stretched out his hand and pulled Qingqiu over, "Eat first, or it will get cold."

"I'm already cured, no pain anywhere." Ming Xia frowned, drank a bowl of soup like medicine, then picked up chopsticks and began to pour rice into his mouth, "Just don't let me go out of the hospital."

Nan Jiang looked at Ming Xia very carefully, and felt that he seemed to be in good spirits, but his body was obviously not as good as he said.His face has been pale and pale since he came out of the big formation, although he has been making up for these days, his face has not slowed down much.

He glanced at Ming Xia's lips again.Well, the lip color is still pink and white, with a look of lack of energy and blood.

Ming Xia asked him while dialing the meal, "You said you have something to do on the phone? What's the matter?"

Nan Jiang planned to wait for him to finish his meal. Seeing that he asked, he hesitated, "It's Mr. Wen. He intends to come and see you. Also...'Group Six' wants to apply to keep you for a while. Of course, this matter is ultimately up to you to decide.”

Ming Xia was slightly surprised, but she was a little happy in her heart. The "Sixth Group" wanted to keep him. Does it mean that he performed well in the task of Xishan Great Formation?

"Or cooperate with the R&D department to do weapon debugging?"

"Not all." Nanjiang paused, with a disgusted expression on his face, "Someone wants to ask you to be a teacher."

"Ah?" Ming Xia was stunned for a moment, suspecting that she had heard it wrong, "What do you mean? No, no need to say it again, I heard it clearly. The problem is that I only have a bachelor's degree, and I haven't passed the teacher certificate yet."

"It doesn't matter." Nanjiang couldn't help but cry, "No one will pursue this, you are giving lectures in the name of the 'Sixth Group' consultant, and the lecture content is also some popular knowledge, just like what you taught Qingqiu, There are also some common sense of life in modern society.”

Ming Xia suddenly realized, "Give lectures to monsters who have never been in contact with modern life?"

Nan Jiang nodded, "Actually, this request was made by Zhu Huai. You also know that the 'Sixth Group' owes him a favor."

Ming Xia figured out the key point almost immediately. It is impossible for the "sixth group" to let everyone go out, but the favor is not good and they will not return it, so they each took a step back and agreed to the request for the second place.

From their contact in the big formation, it can be felt that Zhu Huai is still very curious about the human world.As for why he was chosen as the teacher, Ming Xia thought, maybe it was because he was not an official member of the "Sixth Group".You must know that the human side is also worried about monsters poaching the wall - if it is just an ordinary human being poached, then the problem will be much simpler.

Qingqiu guarded the plate that Ming Xia gave it separately, tasted every dish, and commented: "It's not bad, but it's also tasteless. It's not as good as the fish in Taosheng's shop."

Ming Xia smiled, "You really know how to eat. Mr. Tao's seafood restaurant is one of the most famous restaurants in Yaozhou City. Is your hospital canteen comparable?"

Qingqiu hummed dissatisfied.

Ming Xia coaxed it, "I'll take you to eat when I'm discharged from the hospital."

Qingqiu's eyes lit up immediately, "It's a deal!"

Nan Jiang Fue, "Comrades, we are talking about work."

Ming Xia's hand runs along Qingqiu's back hair one by one, this is his new habit when thinking about problems.

To be honest, Ming Xia doesn't really want to see Zhu Huai again, that monster is too shrewd, he feels that he can't play with him.And it was a monster after all, after walking through the Xishan formation, he wouldn't think that as long as the monsters' bodies were sealed, they would not be lethal.

Imagine, let the mouse go to the cat's litter to teach the cat, should he pray every day to keep the cat full?

But from another point of view, he was a little reluctant to give up such an opportunity to stay in the "sixth group".Nanjiang, Qingqiu, Li Youran... these friends who died, he was reluctant to see them again from now on.

And I have to say, ever since he entered a new world and experienced all kinds of adventures that subverted cognition, let him go back to the original peaceful and stable life, just thinking about it, Ming Xia finds it a bit unacceptable .

Is this a trip to the world of monsters, and you end up giving your heart away? !

Nan Jiang washed a small bowl of fruit for Ming Xia, and hurried back to the team.

Qingqiu played tricks and refused to leave, and Nanjiang had nothing to do with it. After all, Qingqiu was so small that he didn't need to participate in regular training.It happened that the team had to arrange for a team member to come and take care of Ming Xia every day, so Nan Jiang simply approved Qing Qiu as the day's bed companion.He could also see that Ming Xia's hospital stay was quite boring.

Sure enough, the two guys were overjoyed when they said this.

First, they took a nap together, then strolled around the corridors of the ward for a few times, came back to drink afternoon tea, and ate some fruit snacks, then Qingqiu picked up his favorite movie with his notebook in his arms, planning to nest together Watching dramas in the quilt.

The phone rang, it was Tu Qing calling.

Ming Xia was still trying to figure out how to confuse his injuries, so he asked straight to the point: "When will you be discharged from the hospital?"

Ming Xia, "..."

Tu Qing immediately guessed what he was thinking, and snorted coldly, "What's so hard to inquire about? It's not a secret. I just can't get in."

The medical department of the "Sixth Group" has very strict rules, and the wounded in hospital can only be visited by their relatives.Tu Qing could only be anxious, but he also contacted Ming Xia's grandfather, and had a general understanding of his injury.

"Small injury, small injury." Ming Xia actually didn't feel very uncomfortable anymore, "I can go out in a few days. Why, miss me?"

Tu Qing ignored his teasing, and his voice was muffled, "Why didn't you tell me beforehand when you participated in their action?"

Ming Xia scratched his head, "You don't know, my master has a cooperation project with them, which is kept secret. The things here are quite complicated, and I can't tell them outside."

Projects related to the "Sixth Group" have confidentiality requirements, and Tu Qing naturally knows this, and he only complains, more worried and helpless.

After a moment of silence, Tu Qing asked him cautiously, "Can you quit?"

This time, it was Ming Xia's silence.

Can?

Of course it can.

Ming Xia took a deep breath, "Let me think about it."

"If it's possible," Tu Qing lobbied his friend with difficulty, "Let's quit, Xiao Liu, how can you have the brains to compete with a bunch of monsters?"

Ming Xia, "..."

Ming Xia suddenly wanted to ask Tu Qing what he had experienced, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that it seemed to be a scar in Tu Qing's heart.

Can't ask.

"I said, I'm thinking about it." Ming Xia said angrily, "It takes time to think about it."

Tu Qing asked from a different angle, "Why do I feel that you seem to be reluctant... Tell me, what are you reluctant about?"

Ming Xia, "..."

Ming Xia said angrily, "I can't bear not to have the chance to compete with monsters, can you?"

"I hope you live a safe life, don't be in danger, don't get hurt."

Ming Xia snorted, "Have you forgotten your black history? Who is that, sneaked to the mountains, and then found out the original shape and was brought back?"

"Ming Xiaoliu!" Tu Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I can't persuade you, so wait for Mingming to come back to persuade you. Let me tell you, Mingming will be back in a few days."

"You're a dead rabbit, aren't you excited?" Ming Xia was angry, "You think I'm afraid of you after moving out of my house? Don't forget that I'm her brother!"

"It doesn't matter whether I forget it or not, just don't run around crying and begging for mercy when you are beaten."

The boat of friendship was about to turn over, and Tu Qing decisively brought the topic back, "Anyway, think about it carefully, don't let your family worry, and don't let me worry too."

Ming Xia replied hesitantly.

Qingqiu picked a movie about dryads called "Nie Xiaoqian". While watching it, he complained that the old dryads had no grades and no means. They were so useless. It took so much to eat a white and tender young scholar. What a blind effort.

Ming Xia glanced at the computer screen, rubbed Qingqiu's black hair with his hands, and his mind drifted back to the previous proposal from Nan Jiang.

Be a teacher for monsters...

Ming Xia thought to herself, should I agree?
