Chapter 255 A Meeting Across Time and Space, Similarities and Resemblances
"Hello, is anyone there? Little Plum Blossom, Little Blue Circle, I've come to find you."
Outside the Deer Man Shop, Si Bu Xiang curiously examined the two-story bamboo hut in front of him. He could actually sense the presence of Little Plum Blossom and Little Blue Circle here, and even his own presence.
This led the Four-Unlikes to mistakenly believe that this was the current cave of Little Plum Blossom and Little Blue Circle.
Meanwhile, the four-legged creature was cleaning inside when it heard the noise at the door. Thinking that another customer had arrived, it quickly dropped the broom and ran to open the door.
However, the moment the Qilin opened its mouth, a white mythical beast was seen squatting at the door.
"Hello, I am the owner of this deer-man shop. May I ask you... wait, your face..." The four-legged creature looked at the four-legged creature in horror, and subconsciously reached out its paw to touch the mask on its face.
The Four-Faced Beast stared intently at the mask on its face, and after sniffing it, it suddenly hugged the Four-Faced Beast tightly.
The four-legged creature froze: "You, what do you want to do? Quick, let me go, or you'll be sorry when Pipi and his brother come back."
Just as the Four-Faced Beast was still thinking about how to notify Tianlu to come and rescue him, the Four-Faced Beast rubbed its cheek with a smile: "Little brother, you must be the little brother that Father and Mother gave me!"
"Huh???" The four-legged creature was completely dumbfounded, thinking that this guy must have something wrong with his head, otherwise why would he randomly recognize a younger brother?
After forcefully pushing away the Four Unlikes, the Four Unlikes quickly took a few steps back before saying, "Um, I think you've misunderstood. I'm really not your brother."
"Little brother, don't be shy. Look how similar our auras are, and the mask on your face is even in my shape. You must be my little brother."
Seeing the four-legged creature rushing towards him again, wanting to hug him, the four-legged creature had a terrible headache. He thought to himself, "Why can't this guy understand me? Someone, please take him away!"
Although the Four-Unlikes is a beautiful vase, it has no fighting power whatsoever.
Therefore, no matter how unwilling it was, the four-legged creature could not escape the clutches of the four-legged creature and was embraced by it.
"Little brother, is this your home?"
"You know Little Plum Blossom and Little Blue Circle too, right? I smelled their scent at your house. Do you live with them?"
"Little brother, where are Little Plum Blossom and the others? I can't find them."
"Little brother, are Father and the others with you...?"
"Stop! Stop!" The Qilin pinched the Qilin's mouth shut, finally feeling much more at ease: "Don't say anything yet, let me ask you first. If you agree, then nod."
The Four-Faced Beast thought its younger brother was playing a game with it, so it nodded in agreement, thinking to itself how cute its father and mother had given birth to this little brother (*′w`*).
"First of all, I am not your brother. My name is Si Xiang Bu Xiang, and I am the owner of this Deer Man Shop. You can call me Si Xiang Bu Xiang or Boss Si, but I am not your brother."
The four-legged creature emphasized again, and then, without waiting for it to speak, continued, "Now you should tell me your name and what you are here for."
"Brother..." Just as the Four-Faced Beast was about to call the Four-Unlikes Brother, it realized that the Four-Unlikes Brother didn't seem to want it to be called brother.
Thinking that his younger brother was shy, Si Bu Xiang changed his address to "Si Bu Xiang Brother" so as not to make his brother angry.
The Four-Unlikes deliberately lowered the volume of the word "younger brother," so the Four-Unlikes did not notice the difference.
Seeing that the four-legged creature didn't say anything, the four-legged creature breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "My name is Four-legged Creature, and I am the son of good fortune."
When the Four-Unlikes heard the Four-Unlikes say its name, its heart was filled with turmoil, and it clenched its fists involuntarily.
His heart was filled with mixed feelings. He had already guessed the identity of the Four-Faced Beast, and looking at its face, he seemed to see himself wearing a mask.
"I've been playing the role of the other person all along, acting as their substitute. The Four-Faced Beast is the true auspicious child, the one that Pipi has been waiting for all along!"
In a daze, the Four-Faced Beast's heart sank to the bottom. It was only with great difficulty that it emerged from the shadow of being the "Four-Faced Beast Substitute." However, upon seeing the Four-Faced Beast again, the Four-Faced Beast was reminded of the memories that had lived in the memories of others.
"What's wrong? Little brother, are you alright? Don't scare your big brother." Si Bu Xiang noticed that his younger brother was radiating negative emotions for some reason, and couldn't help but get anxious.
"I, I'm fine." The Four-Unlikes was awakened by the Four-Unlikes' voice.
Touching the mask on his face, the Qilin repeatedly told himself in his heart: "Everything is over. I am the deer spirit Qilin, not the Qilin Qilin, nor any auspicious child. I am who I am, not anyone's substitute, and I don't need to live like anyone else."
After letting out a heavy sigh, the Four-Faced Beast asked casually, "So, Four-Faced Beast, what brings you here?"
When asked this question, the Four-Unlikes was taken aback at first, then remembered that he had originally wanted to find a place for Haochen to rest.
But before the Four-Unlikes could even mention Hao Chen, Rabbit returned carrying two baskets of vegetables: "Four-Unlikes, I'm back. Oh, we have guests?"
Rabbit Lord initially thought the visitor was an ordinary guest, but upon closer inspection, he realized that the strange-looking guest looked somewhat familiar.
After staring at the Four-Faced Beast for a long time, Rabbit Lord was surprised to find that its face actually looked very similar to the mask of the Four-Faced Beast.
"Clap!"
The rabbit was so surprised that it didn't even notice the food falling to the ground. Instead, it tremblingly stretched out its paw and pointed at the four-legged creature, its eyes filled with tears, as if it could cry to the creature at any moment.
"A strange creature, who is he? Is he your old flame? Otherwise, why would your mask look so much like his face? I know now, it was all a mistake after all."
"..." The four-legged creature was speechless. Didn't it see that he was already annoyed? The rabbit was just making things worse for him.
The Four-Faced Beast was also somewhat confused, thinking to itself, "My brother's friend is so strange."
However, Si Bu Xiang still spoke up to explain: "Hello, my name is Si Bu Xiang, and I am the older brother of Si Bu Xiang."
"What?" Rabbit Lord stared wide-eyed at the Four-Faced Beast, his heart equally unsettled: "You're the Four-Faced Beast's older brother, so you're also my... older brother!"
Thinking about his attitude towards the Four-Faced Beast just now, Rabbit panicked a little. You know, the Four-Faced Beast is the Four-Unlikes' family member. If he is not satisfied with him, how can he pursue the Four-Unlikes?
Thinking of this, Rabbit rushed to the Four-Faced Beast, his paws nervously twisting together and rubbing against each other, while his feet shuffled uncomfortably on the ground: "Four-Faced Beast's brother, I misunderstood you just now. I'm sorry, please forgive me."
The Four-Faced Beast squinted at Rabbit Lord, finding his brother's friend quite interesting, and shook his head: "It's okay, I forgive you."
"Really, thank you so much. Si Bu Xiang's brother, my name is Rabbit Lord, and I'm currently pursuing Si Bu Xiang. Don't worry, I will definitely treat Si Bu Xiang well."
Seeing Rabbit Lord acting as if he were meeting the parents, the Four-Faced Beast was furious. It stepped forward, twisted Rabbit Lord's ear, and said, "Get this straight, Rabbit Lord, he's not my brother."
When Rabbit heard what the Four-Faced Beast said, he thought the Four-Faced Beast was having a fight with its brother, so he gave the Four-Faced Beast an OK sign, meaning he would leave everything to the Four-Faced Beast and persuade it.
"Don't be angry with your brother, you four-legged creature. I know you're unhappy that he didn't come to see you, but I believe he must have his reasons."
Seeing that the misunderstanding was getting deeper and deeper, the four-legged creature slapped its forehead, thinking it was tired and decided to destroy it instead of explaining.
"You guys chat, I'm going in first." The four-legged creature waved its hand and walked into the house listlessly.
Seeing this, Rabbit quickly grabbed the four-legged creature: "Don't go, four-legged creature! We haven't entertained our brother yet. And four-legged creature, I've met our father and our brother. When are you going to bring our mother so I can meet her?"
"Shut up, Rabbit Lord!" The Four-Faced Beast was somewhat exasperated. What relatives did he have?
As Si Bu Xiang watched the harmonious scene between his younger brother and Rabbit Lord, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.
Suddenly, the Four-Faced Beast felt someone pulling its paw. Looking down, it saw Hao Chen pulling its paw and then remembered its original purpose for coming to the Deer Man's shop.
Si Bu Xiang tried to treat Hao Chen with Qilin saliva, but the effect was not significant, since Hao Chen lost his essence, not his physical injury.
Therefore, Si Bu Xiang thought of looking around to see if anyone could treat Hao Chen, and by a twist of fate, he came to the Deer Man Shop.
"Um, I found him on the street. Does anyone here know how to treat him?"
Hearing the voice of the Four-Unlikes, the Four-Unlikes and the Rabbit looked in the direction of the sound and saw Hao Chen lying on the ground.
"Hey, Haochen, why are you lying on the ground? If you want to sleep, you can go to bed. Do you want me to carry you to bed?"
"You, Mr. Rabbit..."
Hao Chen really wanted to shout, "Rabbit Lord, which eye of yours saw that I wanted to sleep on the floor? I'm so weak that I can't even stand up. You don't help me, and you even make sarcastic remarks."
Seeing that Hao Chen still had the energy to get angry, the Qilin subconsciously assumed that Hao Chen was fine, so it teased, "Rabbit Master, Hao Chen is done for. Let's get ready to start the feast."
"You... you bastard!" Hao Chen was on the verge of tears. Didn't anyone notice that he was injured? This guy, the Four-Unlikes, was so heartless that he wanted to eat his food.
Hao Chen, holding onto the paws of the four-legged creature, looked at it pitifully: "Four-legged creature, I feel like I can still be saved..."
As soon as Hao Chen finished speaking, his eyes slumped to the side, and he fainted again.
At this moment, the Four-Faced Beast and the Rabbit Lord realized that Hao Chen was not faking it, but was really injured.
"Oh no, Rabbit Lord, hurry and fetch Doctor Flower Bud Bird, or Hao Chen will really die."
"Now that I know about the four-legged creature, I'll go right away."
After asking Rabbit Lord to invite Flower Bird, Four-Faced Beast looked at Four-Faced Beast again, thought for a moment and said, "Could you please help me carry Haochen into the house?"
Si Bu Xiang nodded, and together with Si Bu Xiang, one grabbed Hao Chen's front paw and the other grabbed his hind paw, carrying Hao Chen into the house.
Meanwhile, feeling somewhat uneasy, Bixie bid farewell to Tianlu, Qishiqi, and Xiaoji, and hurried back to the Deer Man's shop.
