Chapter 13: The Girl

The sound of bumping kowtows kept ringing, which made the Taoist even more irritable, and he hurriedly bent down to help the old man, but with his strength, it was useless, and he didn't dare to exert any more force, so he had to squat down helplessly and persuade, "I said the old man!" This is no small matter! You get up first, let's discuss slowly, this is related to the future of Yunxiao, now we can say that we don't know each other, do you really rest assured to hand him over to me? ā€

The old man smacked his head tightly on the ground, and his voice whimpered, "Don't worry! ā€

The Taoist was directly choked, and said helplessly, "Then do you know who I am?" What am I going to do? When you die, where will I take the clouds with me? ā€

ā€œā€¦ I don't know! ā€

"You don't know anything, so why are you so relieved to hand him over to me?"

The old man's crying finally stopped slowly, and his voice was almost stubborn, "Because I know one thing, and this is enough!" ā€

The Taoist turned his head in annoyance, "What? ā€

"The Taoist will not harm him, never!" The old man's expression was extremely determined, and he paused, and said, "This is the last feeling of a dying person!" ā€

Silence, the Taoist opened his mouth and was suddenly stuck, and then the whole space seemed to freeze at this moment, and he looked at the old man kneeling on the ground, and he couldn't speak for a while.

There was silence all around, only the old man's heavy breathing echoed in the room, the old man still knelt on the ground motionless, and I don't know how long it took, until the kneeling legs were completely numb, and even felt a trace of despair in his heart, the sigh of the Taoist came from his ears.

The voice was very weak, but in the old man's heart, it was undoubtedly like a thunderbolt from the sky, accompanied by the voice of the Taoist, his body shook suddenly, as if he was about to fall to the ground in the next moment.

The Taoist looked at the old man with an extremely complicated expression, and finally took a deep breath between the changes in his face, with an indescribable hesitation in his tone, "... Is this a good thing or a bad thing for him? ā€

The surprise came too quickly, and the old man was completely stunned at this time, until the Taoist helped him up and sat on the chair, and then he instantly grabbed the Taoist's hand with tears of joy, and was about to kneel down again, but was firmly dragged by the Taoist.

"Since I promised to accept him as an apprentice, we are not considered outsiders, and we don't have to be so vain!"

"Good, good! Listen to the sermon! Hehe...! The old man laughed, but the tears in his eyes could not be stopped.

The Taoist sighed again in his heart, these two ancestors and grandchildren are all lovers!

The old man hurriedly respectfully invited the Taoist to sit down, and then wiped away his tears and asked, "Since the Taoist chief promised to accept Yunxiao as a disciple, I don't know if any rituals are needed?" Or is there something I need to prepare? Although the Taoist chief has instructed, I will definitely be ready before tomorrow! ā€

"No!" The Taoist shook his head and said, "Our sect doesn't have so many vulgar rituals, we only need to know a birthday and then perform a bowing ceremony!" ā€

"That's right! That's easy! I—" The old man's voice stopped abruptly, and he opened his mouth, and his face suddenly turned gray.

"What's wrong? Any questions? ā€

The old man's clenched fist trembled violently, and he said with a cry, "Dao Chief, I... I... I don't know what Yunxiao's birth date is? ā€

"How is this possible? He's your grandson! How could you not know? The Taoist stood up suddenly, disbelieving.

The old man let out a long breath and barely calmed down, but there was an unknown bitterness in his eyes, "Actually... In fact, I have been childless and childless all my life, and the sky is ,... Nor my own grandchildren......"

……………………

Outside, the moon hangs straight in the sky, casting silver light on the earth, and the insects in the trees and the cries of night birds mingle together, playing the music of nature, which is particularly beautiful.

And outside Anping Village, on the edge of a sparkling Anping Lake, a small figure is carrying an equally small basket walking slowly, the mottled shadows of the trees by the lake block the moonlight in the sky, but can not hide the happy smell he exudes all over his body, between walking and stopping, from time to time there will be a giggle chuckle, and the insects in the woods will scream louder.

Anping Lake is not big, but the forest by the lake is really not small, the forest is dense, covering the sky and the sun. The woods are polarized on both sides of the lake, and near the east side of the village, there is an open green meadow, which has been carefully cared for by the people of the village, forming a good place to escape the heat. To the west of it, there are more wild grasses growing around, completely in a natural state, and all kinds of birds are singing in the grass, and there are obviously no human beings.

And the direction of the clouds' progress is the dense grass pile, although the walk is a little staggering, but still by virtue of the memory of the route to find the mark he made - a luxuriant tree, the branches of the tree very strangely formed an inverted herringbone, very easy to recognize.

And this big tree is like a dividing line, in front of it is dense withered yellow weeds, tangled with each other, forming an endless large piece, next to it there is also a dilapidated wooden sign, 'visitors stop' four big characters are particularly eye-catching.

Yunxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief when he walked here, first carefully put down the bamboo basket, and then looked around in a ghostly manner, until he found nothing suspicious, then he walked to the side of the big tree with a familiar way, and grabbed the back of the tree with two small hands, and he grabbed a large piece of the originally strong thatch, which was even worse than the ordinary straw.

Yunxiao smiled proudly, his hands were more forceful, and after a while, a pile of grass was piled up behind him, and behind the big tree, a round black hole began to slowly appear, the hole was not big, but it was just enough to accommodate Yunxiao to walk in with his head down, the edge seemed to be trimmed by a sharp weapon, neatly forming a circular arch hole, and in front of the black hole, you could even see the same bright moonlight as the outside.

Yunxiao hurried to the end of the grass cave, as if suddenly enlightened, in front of it was an open-air square with a radius of not less than five hundred meters, as if isolated from the world, surrounded by weeds tightly, only revealing a circular sky, and in the center of the square, it was a piece of turquoise grass, and the crystal dew shone in the moonlight.

And the most peculiar thing is that in the middle of the meadow there is a small house built by someone, in front of a wooden table and a few wooden chairs, the furnishings are extremely simple, but like a person who has escaped the world, it looks casual and leisurely.

It's like a secret garden that no one knows, but for Xiao Yunxiao, it's more like his own happy nest, an existence that even his dearest grandfather doesn't know, where his favorite toys are stored, secrets he doesn't want people to know, and his best friends.

The clouds looked around at the entrance of the cave, and in this piece of silver light, the snow-white figure in front of the hut appeared more clear, the long hair fluttered slightly in the wind, revealing a small and beautiful face, the snow-white skirt with his head lowered moved slightly, and he was bored kicking the stones on the side of the road, looking weak, and he was extraordinarily lovely in the moonlight.

Yunxiao smiled slyly, gently put the basket on the ground, held his breath and tiptoed over, stretched out his hands, suddenly covered the pair of smart eyes, and said with a rough smile, "Don't move!" Guess who I am? ā€

"Brother Yunxiao! You're finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time! A cheerful voice sounded, and when she turned around, it was a girl of the same age as Yunxiao, with a very delicate appearance, like a fairy in the moon with a smile and a smile.

"Hee-hee! That's right! Yuting is so smart, I will reward you with delicious food! Yunxiao also patted the girl's head like a brother and praised it.

"Of course! I'm the smartest! Yes... Wrong! I'm the second smartest, and Brother Yunxiao is the first smart! Yu Ting pulled Yunxiao's arm and said flatteringly.

Yunxiao smiled and asked, "Have you waited for a long time?" Hungry, right? ā€

Yu Ting touched her little belly and said with a bitter face, "Yes! I'm so hungry, my stomach is growling! ā€

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! I've got you a lot of delicious food, and I'll stop calling it for a while! Yunxiao hurriedly put the basket on the table on the side and opened it, and the tempting aroma of rice instantly wafted into the air.

"Thank you, Brother Yunxiao! I'm going to go! Hmmm..., it's delicious! ā€

Yunxiao sat on the sidelines, watching the girl keep gobbling up, and felt happier than eating herself! It seemed like an instant, back to when the two first started to meet......

On that rainy day, as if it was fate, Yunxiao saw the figure trembling in the rain, and the eyes full of grief and despair, at that moment, involuntarily, Yunxiao walked over, took her hand in the rain, and comforted softly......

…………………… Ask for a ticket! Would you like to comfort your little brother too? ……………
