Chapter 34: The Strange Black Cat
At this time, her mother had finished cooking and served the wooden table one after another, but seeing that the father and son were all sad there, and they didn't know what was going on, so they asked in a voice:
"What's the matter, aren't all these sons and daughters back?
Before his father could respond, he saw Xiao Luo speak first, his eyes were firm and a little choked and said:
"Mother, the child is going out to find a job to support his family!
"Nonsense!"
I saw that his father's face changed in vain, and he became a little frightened, I don't know how his son could have such an idea?!
It was the governor who just shrank his pupils, but he surprisingly didn't make a sound to stop Xiao Luo, and he still bowed his head in obscurity.
Because of the lowered head, her beautiful little face was already covered by the white silver hair on her forehead, so she couldn't see what her expression was at the moment.
"Do you know what this Nine Heavens Peak looks like outside?! Do you know how dangerous it is outside!" I heard his mother say anxiously there.
"Life can be miserable! The medicine field can be slowly recultivated, but you can't risk your life! You are still young, you don't know the sinister outside, this Nine Heavens Peak is definitely not a place where ordinary people can survive! This matter will not be mentioned again!!"
I saw that his father also scolded Xiao Luo with a stern face.
Xiao Luo lowered his head a little aggrieved, his face was a little angry, he didn't expect that he was kind, but he just wanted to go out to find an errand and subsidize the family, but he was so opposed by his parents, and he said that it was dangerous outside.
Although I have heard Master say that the world outside the immortal barrier is very dangerous, but it is also very exciting, I don't know why my parents are so shocked, what is it like outside the immortal barrier?
Besides, since I was a child, I have never been too far away from this ten miles and eight villages, at most I went to the end of the crops, so I don't know, so my father and mother stopped me, but it made Xiao Luo's curiosity even heavier.
"That's it, you two hurry up and eat, as for the matter of the medicine field, you two don't have to worry about it. ”
His father sighed at the two bowed heads, and then he stooped down, put on his straw sandals, and without explaining anything to his wife, and did not care about the late day, and went out on his own, his back looking rather gloomy.
Looks like I'm going to see a medicine field...
......
At the dinner table, after the mother learned about this series of reasons from the mouth of the governor, she first sighed, frowned and hesitated for a while, and then said to the two children comfortingly:
"You two stupid children, just burn the medicine field, you two are fine. ”
"Especially Xiao Luo, how can you be so stupid, and you still want to put out the fire, if you have a good one, how can you still live as a mother....."
The mother covered her sleeves and cried quietly, crying Xiao Luo was uncomfortable, a little depressed in her heart, she didn't expect that after she lost consciousness, her own medicine field was still on fire, which made her father and mother so sad, and the family was not having a good time, she only hated that she didn't have the ability, and even wanted to go out and be scolded by her father. If only the Master were there...
When I think of my master, I think of the white jade token in my arms.
"I want to go out anyway! Go to Shushan according to the master's requirements, and then practice with peace of mind, but how to convince my father and mother, alas, it's really difficult... ”
After thinking about it, I looked at the governor, only to see that the governor was still silent with his head down, and when I saw the pitiful look, I also sighed secretly and comforted my mother:
"Mother, I know it's wrong, I don't dare to do it in the future, no matter what happens, the child must first save his life, so as not to worry his father, and I will go up the mountain tomorrow to collect medicine, to see if I can pick more and come back... ”
"I'll go too. I only heard the governor bow his head and whisper.
When his mother heard that the two children were so sensible and well-behaved, she no longer sobbed, but her voice still whimpered:
"Okay, I'm already content with you two good boys, but it's raining heavily today, and the mountain road must be very slippery, so let's wait a few days." ”
"Let's not talk about these unhappy things, you two eat quickly, or the food will be cold again. ”
Although Xiao Luo and Zhou Jun have no appetite at all, in order not to let their mother worry about it anymore, they moved the dishes and chopsticks at the same time very tacitly, so the room can only hear the collision of the dishes and chopsticks and the sound of eating.....
Before dawn the next day, Xiao Luo had already woken up, and after opening his eyes, he quietly climbed to the kang and rolled down.
Then he put on straw sandals and his father's old cloth clothes, the black clothes given by the master had been folded and placed in the wardrobe, and after wearing, he slowly groped in the house to find the back basket and shovel.
But at this moment, Xiao Luo suddenly heard a sound of "meow~" outside the door, like a cat and beast barking, which made Xiao Luo a little surprised.
Because under this Nine Heavens Peak, the small beasts such as cats and beasts are generally wild, and all of them are in the deep mountains, and they are usually not approached by the living, let alone the homes of people who come to this village.
"Maybe I was hungry and couldn't find anything to eat, so I went down the mountain to the village. Xiao Luo thought so.
But I didn't think much about it, at this moment, Xiao Luo had already groped for the back basket and the small shovel in his hand, so he held the small shovel in one hand, and gently tiptoed the back basket behind his back, and wanted to go out directly, but his figure paused slightly, and then quietly turned around and walked towards the stove.
I saw that his left hand gently opened the old black pot lid, and saw that there were still four nests in the pot, so after a little thought, he took one out, but his left hand was still pinching the pot lid, and he didn't mean to put it down.
I saw him have a big mouth, bite half of the nest head, but did not chew and swallow it, but put the nest head in his mouth, and then slowly put the remaining half of the nest head into the pot, and after doing this, the left hand holding the lid of the pot was slowly put down, until the lid and the iron pot were gently closed.
Only then did he tiptoe out the door quietly, and then turned around and slowly closed the wooden door.
But he didn't know that as soon as he went out, the governor lying on the kang seat next to him opened his eyes, his eyes were wide, and he didn't seem to be a little sleepy, and he was very clear, so he got up quietly.
said that after putting on his clothes and shoes, Zhou Jun also quietly went out with him, but found that Xiao Luo was still staying in the yard, still squatting there, and his hands were holding the small half of the nest that had been stained with saliva from time to time.
I saw him break the head of the nest into small pieces, small pieces, small pieces and throw them not far in front of him.
When his gaze moved not far in front of him, he found that a little cat beast was eating the fragments of the nest thrown by Xiao Luo with its head down, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
I saw that this cat beast was petite, the whole body was as black as ink, and the coat color was oily and shiny, like an obsidian in the night.
When Zhou Jun looked more closely, there was a small snow-white and shiny mark on the forehead of the cat that was lowering, the shape was like a small flame, and under the moonlight that had not yet dissipated, there was a sense of burning and dancing, and it was not a mortal species in the mountains and wilderness.
