Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Man in Black and the Little Girl on a Rainy Night
In the extremely strange cave, Tang Sanzang sat carefully on the grass, trying not to touch the rag dolls around him. www.biquge.info Of course, those grievances are completely incomparable with Li Simin's body at the beginning, and they can't do him any harm, but those weird rag dolls make him feel a little hairy.
Resentment can be dissolved as long as he recites two Heart Sutras, and the powerful visual impact of those rag dolls reminds him of the rare ghost memories in his previous life, which are more than a hundred times more terrifying than resentment.
But fortunately, he's not the only one here.,There's also a little Lori.,Although she's not a human.,But it's not a ghost.,It's supposed to be a monster.。
In Tang Sanzang's three views, monsters are not terrible.
"My name is Xiong Xiaobu." The double ponytail little Lori said.
Xiong Xiaobu? So is this the legendary black bear spirit? So the surname Xiong? The name is quite arbitrary.
Xiao Lori grinned silently, pointed to those rag dolls and introduced them one by one: "These are my friends, this is Xiaobao, this is Xiaofang, Xiaolan likes to cry the most, and Xiaogui doesn't like to eat fruits." ”
"Look, this is my new friend, Yan'er, she's very well-behaved, and I'm getting along." In the end, Little Lori raised her hand, shook the rag doll she was holding in her hand and said.
"Yan'er?" Tang Sanzang thought lightly, and suddenly remembered that when he had just entered the Guanyin Monastery, Guangzhi said that the granddaughter of Wang Po who had disappeared a few days ago seemed to be called Yan'er.
Looking at the rag doll that Xiong Xiaobu was holding in his hand, although it was dragged on the ground and dirty, it looked like it should have been done recently. The rag doll that lost its head when he touched it was because it was so old that even the cloth was brittle, and it should have been there for decades.
"Fur dolls!" This was the first thought that popped into Tang Sanzang's mind, so the faces of those rag dolls would look so realistic.
"Xiaobu, is there a lamp or a candle here?" Tang Sanzang slowly clenched his fists, looked at the little girl and asked softly.
If each rag doll represents a child, then there are many children who have been killed by this little girl over the years, so the resentment will gather in this cave and never disperse for a long time.
But what about these rag dolls, it is definitely not the little girl who made it herself.
"Nope." Xiong Xiaobu shook his head, "Uncle said that you can't light a fire in the cave, it will scare your friends." ”
"Uncle?" Tang Sanzang raised his eyebrows, and sure enough, there was a second person, looking at Xiong Xiaobu, his tone was a little softer
"Xiaobu, who is that uncle? Did he give you all these friends? ”
"An uncle is an uncle, an uncle who only wears black." Xiong Xiaobu nodded, holding the rag doll in his hand, "Uncle is kind to me, he will come to see me on a rainy day, and will take me to find friends, so that I can bring my friends back to play together." ”
"But every time my uncle takes his friends away and sends them back the next time he comes, they don't talk or eat, but my uncle says that this way they can stay with Xiaobu forever, and Xiaobu doesn't have to be afraid of being alone anymore."
Tang Sanzang took a deep breath, calmed down a bit, and looked at the little girl holding the rag doll in front of him laughing silently, and suddenly felt that she was a little pitiful.
Lonely and ignorant, that's why they were used by the man in black who only appeared on a rainy night, although they were monsters, but they got along with Ao Xiaobai for a while, in fact, they are not much different from the little girl of the human race.
"Looks like there's a fire somewhere." At this time, Xiong Xiaobu's little nose sniffed, said with some doubts, and turned around and walked towards the outside of the cave.
Tang Sanzang hesitated, then stood up, carefully avoiding the rag doll on the ground, and followed Xiong Xiaobu out of the cave.
Looking from afar, the direction of Guanyin Zen Temple burned a raging fire at this time, reflecting half of the sky, and the smoke drifted here has faded a lot, but it can be seen that the fire is still not small.
"It's beautiful." Xiong Xiaobu looked at the red sky and said, looking at the expression, he should be happy, but he just laughed silently, looking a little colder.
"It's still the Guanyin Zen Temple, and the development of the plot can't escape the original routine?" Tang Sanzang muttered strangely.
He wasn't worried about Sun Wukong and Ao Xiaobai, how could he say that he was also the one who made trouble in the Heavenly Palace back then, and Taishang Laojun's alchemy furnace couldn't burn her, so she wouldn't be burned by a few mortals.
But looking at the grinning Xiong Xiaobu, her mood is a little complicated, who is using her? Where did the disappeared children go?
At that moment, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, accompanied by a thunderous thunderclap and a sudden rainstorm.
In the middle of winter, there were thundershowers, and it was really hell.
"Xiong Xiaobu, it's raining, let's go in." Tang Sanzang took two steps inside, looked at Xiong Xiaobu who was still standing in place, and said loudly.
Xiong Xiaobu glanced back at Tang Sanzang, shook his head, and said with a smile: "It's raining, uncle may come today, little bald, I'll introduce my uncle to you later, he's fine." ”
Tang Sanzang was slightly stunned, looking at the little girl who was standing in the rain and was soon wet. The bangs were attached to his forehead, and the two ponytails were dripping with water, but he was still grinning.
At this moment, her smile didn't seem to be so scary, it was innocent, the same as Ao Xiaobai's smile.
yes, what's wrong with her?
"Stupid." Tang Sanzang scolded lightly, ran out, picked her up, turned around and ran into the cave.
"If he comes, won't he go into the cave by himself, and what if he gets sick in the rain?" Tang Sanzang hugged Xiong Xiaobu, reached out to untie her ponytail, lifted the robe and covered her head, and carefully wiped off the water stains.
Her little body was drenched in the rain, frozen like a popsicle, her arms were a little stiff, and she only wore a small skirt without sleeves in this weather, and the temperature of her body was too low.
"But......" Xiong Xiaobu struggled for a moment, still trying to speak.
"No, but I changed my clothes first, the one you just brought." Tang Sanzang put Xiong Xiaobu on the ground, pointed to the small clothes on the side, and said undoubtedly.
"Oh." Xiong Xiaobu looked at Tang San hiding for a while, nodded, and reached out to pick up his clothes.
Tang Sanzang walked to the edge of the stone wall with a handful of hay, picked up a stone and scratched it the stone wall a few times, and the hay was nodded early by the exaggerated sparks.
A fire was lit in the cave, which dispelled the darkness and cold at once, Tang Sanzang, who was sitting next to the fire, threw two pieces of wood into the fire, looked at Xiong Xiaobu with loose hair and pale face, smiled and beckoned.
Xiong Xiaobu looked at the fire, a little happy, but also a little scared, his hand poked towards the red flame, and quickly retracted.
"Xiong Xiaobu, come here." Tang Sanzang said again.
Xiong Xiaobu hesitated for a moment, but still walked towards Tang Sanzang, but hid behind him and looked at the fire carefully.
Tang Sanzang reached out and grabbed her arm, gently moved forward, and hugged her in his arms, a pair of warm big hands that had just been roasted on the fire for a while held her cold little hands, there were some red chilblains and small scars on them, which made people feel distressed to look at.
Xiong Xiaobu was stunned, looked at her hands, and then looked at the fire, the hot and warm embrace that came to her face was an experience she had never experienced, she raised her head slightly and looked at Tang Sanzang, grinning, "Little bald head, are you a bodhisattva?" ”
"Why?" Tang Sanzang asked with a smile, brushing Xiong Xiaobu's hair that hadn't dried yet.
I used to hear the bald heads of the Guanyin Monastery say that Guanyin Bodhisattva is the best, so my uncle is Guanyin Bodhisattva, and you are also Guanyin Bodhisattva, so I will be so good to Xiaobu. Xiong Xiaobu stared at Tang Sanzang's eyes and said with a serious expression.
Tang Sanzang was stunned for a moment, the hand placed next to the fire was caught by the flames, and then he retracted, his mouth moved a few times, but he didn't say anything, and he was silent for a while before he reached out and touched Xiong Xiaobu's head, "I'm not Guanyin Bodhisattva, your uncle is not Guanyin Bodhisattva, Guanyin Bodhisattva is more beautiful than us, and better than us, if you see her, you will like her." ”
"Really? Can I really see her? Can I bring my friends with me to meet her? Xiong Xiaobu's eyes lit up, "Xiaobao, Xiaogui, and Yan'er." As he spoke, he grabbed the rag doll on the side and shook it happily.
"Yes, you can." Tang Sanzang nodded, worried for a second, if Xiong Xiaobu saw Guanyin Bodhisattva, would he be disappointed? That guy isn't reliable at all.
Tang Sanzang stretched out his hand to help her brush off the dirt on the rag doll, held her in his arms, wrapped his hands around her, and whispered in her ear: "Xiaobu, can you tell me how you and that uncle met?" ”
