As Chen Xu strolled briskly, he chatted casually with the little hedgehog.
Wei Yuan asked him if he would return to the Prefecture City.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Xu said, "I have two companions at home..."
He actually intended to invite the little hedgehog to travel with him, therefore he first mentioned his two companions at home.
However, before he could finish his sentence, Chen Xu suddenly felt something was amiss.
He slightly paused, then abruptly turned his head to look by the roadside.
At first glance, he saw nothing.
Casting his gaze downward, Chen Xu finally noticed, albeit vaguely, a small figure no more than four inches tall emerging from under a large tree by the roadside.
This little fellow was only four inches tall, shorter than the little hedgehog.
Covered in gray fur with faint golden stripes, it stared with eyes resembling black grapes, looking timidly and aggrievedly at Chen Xu.
