Chapter 378: Gollum and Songsong (2)
Unfortunately, the elegant opening remark of Zhang Shu did not receive a positive response, but instead the door to the Stories from a Chinese Studio suddenly closed with a "bang".
"Ah?" The squirrel was turned away, but he didn't understand for a moment. He shook his head and asked Guru, "Did I say something wrong just now?"
Gulu murmured, "I don't know, right? We recognized the wrong person..."
The squirrel was about to call the door again, but the door creaked and opened again. It turned out that the door was half open just now. Pu Zixuan and Chen Shuqing suddenly released their breath, which just formed a shock wave and pushed the two door panels over.
This time, Pu Zixuan pulled the door even more open, poked his head out and asked, "Why do you, rat, know the names of both of us?"
"Hmph, he told me!" The squirrel pointed at Guru with his thin and short claws, looking extremely funny.
Pu Zixuan then turned his gaze to Gulu and asked, "Who are you?"
Gulu didn't dare to look at Pu Zixuan's eyes, and responded in a low voice with his head down, "My name is Gulu."
Pu Zixuan made a face and said helplessly: "I didn't ask your name, am I asking why you know us?"
Gulu whispered, "I just want to ask for a bowl of Lantern Festival."
Pu Zixuan was speechless and sneezed twice in a row by the cold wind. Chen Shuqing relieved the situation and said, "Forget it, it's cold outside. They don't look like bad guys. Let them go into the house and talk slowly."
"Ah?" Gulu seemed even more restrained after hearing this, "It's better... forget it."
The squirrel poked Gulu's head with a grudge and said, "What are you afraid of? They won't eat you!"
So, the two of them welcomed Gulu and the squirrel into the main hall. Chen Shuqing closed the door and turned it into a lock to lock the door from the outside. Then, they took them to the fire pit and created a ball of fire.
Shaoqing, Pu Zixuan went back to the bedroom and put on thick clothes, and came out to sit next to the fire pit. Zhu Yuanliang, Su Sanniang, Sun Xiaoshu, and Yu Xiangdi also followed him one after another and sat in a big circle.
The squirrel's eyes slashed across the body. When he saw the scar on Zhu Yuanliang's face, he couldn't help but sigh: "Ah!"
He probably wanted to sigh how terrible Zhu Yuanliang looked. When he spoke, he realized his rudeness and hurriedly covered his mouth with both hands.
"Oh, this mouse can still talk?" Zhu Yuanliang said, stretching out his Vajra Demon-Subduing Wrist, grabbed the squirrel's neck, raised it up, and asked, "Are you a monster from Pujiazhuang?"
Su Sanniang looked at the squirrel and said, "I'm afraid this is not an ordinary mouse, but a squirrel?"
Sun Xiaoshu's eyes lit up and said, "Really? I have never seen what a squirrel looks like!"
The squirrel stretched out his claws to stretch out Zhu Yuanliang's iron fist, but he couldn't change anything at all. So he pointed to the white hair on his stomach and said, "I'm so angry that I have to emphasize that I am neither a mouse nor a squirrel, but a flying fox! Does the flying fox understand?"
Pu Zixuan glanced at Chen Shuqing in confusion, then looked at the squirrel and said, "Huh? No, no matter how you look, you don't look like a fox, right?"
The squirrel said loudly: "Who said the flying fox is a fox? I am a red and white squirrel, known as the flying fox!"
Chen Shuqing was stunned and said, "Is that so? I always thought that the flying fox is a flying fox, so I even called myself a 'Flying Fox'. Oh, it's so embarrassing..."
Pu Zixuan still disbelief: "Then, you should fly to show us!"
The squirrel pointed at Zhu Yuanliang and said angrily: "This fat guy with big ears is holding me, how can I fly?"
"Oh, sorry, I'll let you go now." Zhu Yuanliang finished speaking, smirked and threw the squirrel into the air.
"Wow!" The squirrel lost control in the air, and sniffed several times in a row, stretching out his short limbs. The flesh between his claws and legs on both sides of his body quickly spread into a pair of bat-like flying membranes, stabilizing his body like a kite. Then, he stopped swirling and glided down steadily.
"Hehe, did you see it?" The squirrel was just proud of himself, and suddenly found that the landing point where he was gliding was the fire pit, and he could not adjust the movement trajectory. He was shocked and said, "No! Ah--"
Just as the squirrel was about to slide into the fire pit, Zhu Yuanliang's Vajra Demon-Subduing Wrist caught him, then took him out of the dangerous area, moved him to himself and questioned: "This is also considered flying?"
The squirrel shrugged and said, "It's good to be like this. Have you seen a few monsters like me who can fly? I'm not a bird... Oh, by the way, when it comes to birds, hum, I have another title called Hanhu Bird."
Sun Xiaoshu exclaimed: "Ah? So you are the Han Bird? I heard from my father that I thought it was really a kind of bird!"
Chen Shuqing grimaced and said, "Actually, I think so."
Su Sanniang also said: "So much of me."
"Tsk, you guy, have so many names!" Pu Zixuan took the squirrel from Zhu Yuanliang and asked, "Do you have your own name?"
"Hmph, of course there is!" said Cheek proudly, "I like to eat pine cones, so I gave myself a name called 'Songsong'!"
Pu Zixuan said with interest: "Oh? Then you and Squirrel should be close relatives?"
"You... are so disrespectful!" Without waiting for Songsong to respond, Yu Xiangdi, who had not spoken on the side, couldn't help but interrupt, "A moment, a mouse, a flying fox, a cold bird... Now there is another squirrel, what the hell is that?"
"Oh, sorry, I forgot how you feel! Just treat him as a furry toy." Pu Zixuan saw that everyone's focus was on Song Song and forgot the main business, and quickly changed the topic and said to Guru, "Guru, they are all my companions, I won't ask you questions anymore. If you think of anything, just say it."
Compared with the talkative Songsong, Guru seemed really introverted. Seeing so many people's eyes gathered towards him, he was even more restrained, "Where should I start with this...?"
Pu Zixuan threw a brick and inspired the jade and said, "Let's start with where you beat me."
Gulu thought for a while and said, "Actually, I don't know who I am. Since I was conscious, I have been walking on an endless plain... I don't know where I came from, nor where I am going... But it's strange, there seems to be a voice reminding me that I should go in the direction where the sun rises. So I kept walking, and walked... and came to some places where there are mountains and trees everywhere... Later, in a forest, I saw a rhino monster from afar, and I dare not get close to it... Not long after, you were busy in the flood... Later, I saw you beat him to death... and later, your companions also appeared..."
Hearing this, Pu Zixuan couldn't help but take a deep breath and said, "Oh my god, you've been in the field of the Eternal Night Competition?"
Gulu said: "I don't know what competition you said. Anyway, it was at that time that I knew the names of 'Xiqu', 'Pu Zixuan', 'Chen Shuqing', 'Huo Zhizhang'."
Pu Zixuan's curiosity was adjusted to the extreme and he said in confusion: "Since you saw the flood, then, where were you?"
"I was originally watching from a distance from behind a tree. When the flood came, I was also swept into it..."
"So, how did you break free from the flood?"
"I didn't break free from the flood, but that flood can't kill me..."
"What?" Pu Zixuan couldn't believe his ears, "Do you still have such skills?"
Songsong interrupted, "It's true! This guy is not afraid of flooding, nor is he afraid of coldness, nor does he have to eat. He has great ability!"
"Is that so? You are such a strange person!" Pu Zixuan was surprised for a moment, then calmed down again, and said with a smile, "No, you are lying."
Gulu trembled and he said nervously: "I didn't... I didn't lie!"
Pu Zixuan said disdainfully: "Hmph, since you are not afraid of hunger, why do you still come to ask for Lantern Festival?"
Gulu stammered: "I...I..."
"Oh, I'm so anxious, let me say it!" Songsong interrupted again, "After you left, he got lost in Songshan, and happened to meet me, a kind flying fox. So I kindly feed him pine cones. As soon as he ate it, the pine cones fell out from under his butt. I asked him where he was going, and he said there was no place to go, and just said he wanted to find someone named Pu Zixuan. Seeing that he was pitiful, I gave him a name 'Gulu' and took him everywhere to inquire. As a result, I found you a purifier, who had left Shaolin Temple and rushed to Shandong. So, I followed your breath and found this Pujiazhuang. The so-called asking for Lantern Festival is just a reason to talk to you. If you don't believe me, you will know if I feed him something."
After saying that, Songsong took out a pine cone from Guru's pocket and put it into his mouth.
