Yang Xiaobao looked at the rabbit demon with a surprised expression.
"Could it be that you have been alone for these hundreds of years?"
"That's right. The key is, haven't I been locked in a hole in the ground for hundreds of years?" the rabbit demon said with a smile.
Yang Xiaobao sighed, shook his head, and said, "I really can't imagine how you could survive it alone. It took hundreds of years, not just a few months or a few years."
The rabbit demon smiled sadly and said: "Just get used to it. Besides, I am a demon and I have many things to do, such as training, hunting prey, and avoiding those who subjugate demons and gods."
Even so, it was hard for Yang Xiaobao not to admire the rabbit demon's solitary life for hundreds of years.
"When I'm with you, that's when I'm happiest, because there's someone to talk to with me, so I'm no longer lonely."
The rabbit demon looked at Yang Xiaobao and said tenderly: "So, you let me go free, but I came back to you. I would rather you always be my master. I don't want to live as a demon for hundreds of years."
"
Hearing what the rabbit demon said, Yang Xiaobao finally understood why the rabbit demon came back to him.
"Then, why do you often disappear suddenly?" Yang Xiaobao asked curiously.
The rabbit demon chuckled and said, "You have to keep a certain distance between people, and you have to keep a certain distance from demons. I'm by your side every day. If you don't bother me, I'll be too."
Yang Xiaobao laughed dumbly. He didn't expect this rabbit demon to know how to get along with him.
"You can find a partner. Since you are a demon, there must be other demons in this world."
The rabbit demon immediately shook his head and said: "I don't want it, I just want the master."
"Uh..." Yang Xiaobao was speechless for a while.
After a moment of silence, he said to the rabbit demon: "Okay, go back quickly. If Cao Tong wakes up and can't see you, he will definitely panic."
"I knew you were in love with that beautiful girl."
Although he said this, the rabbit demon still stood up and said: "Then I won't accompany you."
After saying that, he flashed his body and ran down the mountain.
Seeing the figure of the rabbit demon jumping between the rocks, Yang Xiaobao smiled.
"Although he is a monster, he actually cares about people."
Yang Xiaobao said, wrapping the quilt brought by the rabbit demon around himself.
This way you won't get cold even if you sit there all night.
Yang Xiaobao looked at the dark-haired village chief, and his heart soon became as calm as a flat pond.
The night passed very slowly, but Yang Xiaobao sat motionless all night.
Unfortunately, he didn't see anything entering the village.
When it was dark, Yang Xiaobao stood up and stretched.
After a night like this, not only did he not feel tired, but he felt much more relaxed and his mind was unusually clear.
It is probably as quiet as a flat pond, and it is also a kind of practice and rest.
He hugged the quilt and ran quickly down the mountain.
Returning to Cao Haitao's home, he lay on the bed again and closed his eyes to sleep for a while.
Then, he heard a creak and someone pushed the door in.
Yang Xiaobao got out of bed, walked to the yard, and saw Cao Tong coming in.
When Cao Tong saw Yang Xiaobao, his cheeks turned red, and he seemed a little embarrassed.
Yang Xiaobao looked at Cao Tong's appearance and was a little confused. He didn't know why she was like this.
"Good morning, Xiaobao." Cao Tong greeted.
"Good morning, why are you here so early?" Yang Xiaobao asked.
"I'll make breakfast for you."
Yang Xiaobao smiled: "Thank you for your hard work."
"I can only do these things here, it's not hard work."
Then Cao Tong went to the kitchen to cook.
Yang Xiaobao saw that the sun had risen and thought of taking a walk in the village while Cao Tong was cooking.
His stroll was not just a stroll through the village streets.
He climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard from house to house, inspecting every house.
Some houses had their doors locked, so he looked inside through the windows.
After walking through most of the village like this, Yang Xiaobao didn't notice anything unusual.
Just as he jumped out of a yard, he suddenly heard a voice: "What are you doing?"
Without turning around, he knew it was Lao Ma.
"I'll check every house to see if there's anything abnormal."
"Let me check it for you too."
"Master, I'll go with you." said the rabbit demon who was with Lao Ma.
Yang Xiaobao nodded.
The rabbit demon followed Yang Xiaobao and jumped into a yard.
"Master, have you seen Cao Tong?"
"I saw it." Yang Xiaobao said as he looked into the main room of this family.
"Then, do you think she is any different from before?"
Yang Xiaobao looked at the rabbit demon and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong? Don't you think there's anything different?"
"No, I don't think there's anything different about him." Yang Xiaobao said with a frown.
"well……"
"Tell me the truth, what's going on!" Yang Xiaobao stared at the rabbit demon and asked.
The rabbit demon chuckled and said a little embarrassedly: "After we woke up this morning, we lay face to face and whispered. I praised you again and asked her to take the initiative."
Yang Xiaobao was speechless when he heard what the rabbit demon said.
"You, you... you are just fooling around!"
"Aren't I thinking about you? Who made you my master?"
"Wake up. I don't need you to worry about me. You'd better stop worrying about this."
As he said this, he waved his hand: "Check quickly. Once the inspection is over, we will go back."
After they finished the inspection and returned to Cao Haiyang's home, Cao Tong had already made breakfast and was waiting for them.
Yang Xiaobao and Cao Tong accidentally glanced at each other and couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
It would be okay if Yang Xiaobao didn't know what the rabbit demon said to her, but now that she knows, it would feel a little awkward.
The rabbit demon looked at the two people and laughed.
"What are you laughing at? Hurry up and eat." Lao Ma gave the rabbit demon a rolling look.
Four people were eating around the table, and Lao Ma asked: "Xiaobao, what should we do next?"
Yang Xiaobao thought for a moment and said, "I think we should find a way to find the exit from the Gate of Hell."
"Looking all over the village? But you know that thing, it usually won't appear."
Yang Xiaobao sighed and said, "I know, but we don't know when to start it now."
Hearing this, Lao Ma also sighed.
"Then stay here now. I'll call your brother later to see if he has researched anything."
Lao Ma nodded and drank his porridge with his head down.
After breakfast, Yang Xiabao called Ma Xiangrong.
Yang Xiaobao told him what happened in Beichen Village.
After listening to Yang Xiaobao's story, Ma Xiangrong was silent for a moment and asked: "It seems that my inference is correct. The south gate of the Gate of Hell is in Beichen Village."
Yang Xiaobao sighed and said: "The key point is that we don't know where exactly we are in Beichen Village."
"I don't know either." Ma Xiangrong said, "There is no record in historical materials."
