After helping her relax a little, Qiqi went around to the other side and held up her other hand.
Hu Tao was unusually silent and didn't speak, her eyes a little divergent.
It wasn't until Qi Qi put down her hand that Hu Tao came back to her senses.
She looked at Qiqi and said seriously and jokingly:
"Don't be too nice to me, I will be reluctant to send you to the afterlife..."
Qiqi didn't expect that she would say such a thing. She shook her head and spoke her thoughts slowly and seriously: "You helped Qiqi, Qiqi helped you, Qiqi doesn't want to go to the afterlife."
After saying that, she distanced herself from Hu Tao, walked to the other side and squatted down.
Jiang Bai looked at the silent Hu Tao, who rarely made any jokes.
He could feel that she didn't care about many things as much as she seemed on the surface, she just hid them in her heart and didn't show them.
She once heard from the ceremony attendants that Hu Tao once made friends with two stone lions, gave them names, wiped and cleaned them every day, and even talked to them.
Jiang Bai can also guess one or two reasons.
As the heir to the Hall of Rebirth, she is exposed to death all the time. Although she appears to be open-minded on the surface, it can be seen from her placing her emotions on dead objects that she is afraid of losing.
She has never raised any live animals, and she has very few close friends, because even though she is open-minded in the face of death, she is still sad and painful at the moment of loss.
This is why she wanted to send Qiqi to the afterlife, but she had never had any other contact with Qiqi other than to achieve the purpose of passing away.
It’s because I’m afraid of developing feelings and afraid that I won’t be able to let go.
"Let's take a rest and climb another rock peak to look for it, and then get ready for dinner."
It's still early and we can't just sit here.
Jiang Bai found a place to sit down, facing the mountain wind and looking at the stone peaks in front of him, thinking about which stone peak in front of him was more likely to have Kongtong Bailing Jade.
Since Kongtong Bailing Jade is made from the rhizomes of plants, the plants on the pinnacle where it is located should be relatively dense, with priority given to tree plants that can take root the deepest.
Jiang Bai picked out three stone peaks and listed them as the highest priority.
Qiqi came over at this time, holding a notebook and a pen in her hand, and the notebook had been turned to a blank page.
She looked at Jiang Bai and asked, "What's your name?"
Jiang Bai blinked and then remembered that he hadn't said his name yet.
"My name is Jiang Bai, Jiang is the Jiang of Jianghe, Bai is the Bai of white..."
Qiqi wrote his name in the book. She wanted to smile, but she had forgotten how to smile after not having facial expressions for so long.
"Qiqi has written it down, Qiqi will remember it." Qiqi said extremely seriously.
She wanted to remember this simple kindness and the warmth she had not felt for a long time.
"It doesn't matter if you forget, I will tell you next time." Jiang Bai grinned, like a gentle big brother next door.
But he suddenly remembered something. Since zombies have very poor memory and will forget everything within three days if their memory is not strengthened, how did she remember these words?
Is it the same as language, which is not within the scope of forgetting, or is it the result of the reinforcement that she reads through the records every day?
And he, he is not from this world, right?
Why are the words and languages of this world completely unfamiliar to him?
"Qiqi, how many words do you know?"
Qiqi's eyes became blank.
No one should count how many words they know, right?
"Qiqi...I don't know..."
"Can you write about Kongtong Bailing Jade?"
Qiqi tilted her head and picked up a pen to write to him, but she couldn't write at all.
She was just a little girl before her death, and the words she could recognize were limited. Even if she could learn words again after waking up, Jiang Bai's problem was too difficult for a child.
She seemed a little depressed, and the hand holding the pen dropped, "Qiqi doesn't know how to write..."
"It's okay, I can't write either." Jiang Bai showed his big white teeth, not feeling guilty at all for telling a lie.
"This word is difficult to write. You don't know it's normal."
"Oh..." Qiqi nodded as if he understood.
"Jiang Bai...do you want treatment?" She looked up at Jiang Bai.
Jiang Bai did not answer her question, but asked her another question.
"Will your fairy power be used up?" If her fairy power is used up, will her fairy identity still exist? If her fairy power is exhausted, will her body become stiff and she can't even walk normally?
?
"I don't know, Qiqi rarely uses it." Qiqi looked confused. She just followed her instinct and didn't know if her magical power would be used up.
Jiang Bai looked at the Ice God's Eye on her body. The blue-white fairy power was very similar to the color of the Ice God's Eye. It was really hard to tell whether it was the power of the God's Eye or the fairy power.
"Then help me relieve myself."
"good."
The blue-white light appeared in Qiqi Shou's heart again, and a cold feeling spread into Jiang Bai's arm.
It felt like ice and snow had fallen on my arms, bringing with it a bit of frost.
Jiang Bai felt it carefully and found that it was more like the elemental power of ice than fairy power.
"Thanks to you, I feel much more comfortable." Jiang Bai patted the little hat on her head, and Qiqi shyly lowered her head and held the talisman on her forehead.
"Qiqi is glad to be able to help you."
Maybe she has been alone for too long, and because of her poor memory, she cannot do many things well. She wants the approval of others too much.
Being recognized and needed is what makes her happiest.
"Originally, I thought it would take at least ten days and a half to find it, but with you Qiqi here, the time has been reduced by more than half. You are really our lucky star!"
Jiang Bai is very good at flattering. As long as he wants to, nice words can make everyone happy.
Little girls are no exception.
He saw that Qiqi cared very much about being needed, so he emphasized the help she brought to them and her importance.
Qi Qi obviously rarely received such praise, so she hurriedly turned her head to cover her face.
Even though her body could no longer blush, she still felt waves of warmth on her face.
With Qiqi's treatment and after resting for a while, Hutao quickly became active again.
She jumped up from the ground and put her hands on her hips, laughing, "I can do it again, Hutao!"
The little ghost also emerged from her body and cheered.
"Let's continue after we rest!"
Jiang Bai pointed to the three highest priority stone peaks, and the three of them spread their wings of wind and flew there.
The sun slowly sets in the west, and the three people on the cliff are like little geckos, moving around on the protrusions of the cliff and the shrubs above.
