Chapter 7: Master Du

Grandpa shouted anxiously again: "This doll is the life of the fallen boy, Master Du, you can think about it!" ”

Master Du didn't respond, he stood up, took my hand like Master Su, and led me out of the house.

His palms are rougher than Su Ye's, and they feel like fence walls in the yard, but just such a pair of hands makes me feel extremely relieved, as if even the air has warmed up in winter.

Originally, I thought that Master Du would take me out of the yard directly like Su Ye, but I didn't expect that after leaving the house, he took me up to Tsukasan.

At that time, I thought that he might want to take me over this mountain, and my uncle said that as long as I climbed over the mound mountain, I could see the village at a glance, but this mountain was very evil, and no one wanted to go to the mountain unless it was a last resort.

After walking up the hill, Master Du took out a black box from his pocket, he first opened the lid with his nose, and then spilled the contents of the box on the ground as he walked.

The moment he pressed the lid to the tip of his nose, I finally saw his eyes.

Those eyes were as muddy as the water in the Bazi River, but they were warmer than grandpa's eyes.

Every time Master Du waved the box, a pinch of crimson powder would be sprinkled inside, and when the powder fell to the ground, it quickly turned back to the same color as the loess, as if it had never appeared.

Master Du said to me, "Remember this path, and the next time you come back, you will have to walk it again." ”

I asked him, "Why?" ”

Master Du smiled at me: "This road is connected to your destiny. ”

"What is the natal life?"

"Natal is your birth stem, and it is also your innate destiny."

"What is a Birthday Stem? What is the Innate Personality? ”

"Yo, that's a bit tricky to explain. You don't have to be busy asking now, if you and I are fated, I will teach you slowly in the future. ”

As I spoke, Master Du had led me to the top of the mountain, and the red powder he had sprinkled had long since disappeared, but I carefully remembered the road I had just walked.

Master Du grabbed my hand and put a piece of yellow paper with words written on it on my hand: "Stick it on this tree." ”

"What is this?"

"These are the Three Immortal Talismans."

"But there's no paste, how can it be sticky?"

"You press it against the trunk and it sticks on itself, no need to paste."

It was only at this point that I suddenly remembered that when I was a child, I was a very verbose child, and there were always one question after another in my head.

The Three Immortal Talisman that Master Du gave me seemed to be light and fluttering, but it was actually quite weighty, and it took me a lot of effort to stick it to the trunk, and he crossed his hands the whole time, standing aside and looking at me quietly, without the slightest intention of helping.

The moment the rune paper was attached to the tree, a violent wind suddenly rose on the top of the mountain, but the paper was unmoved as if it had a jack pendant, and it did not sway slightly until the wind was about to disappear.

Master Du frowned: "The things under the mountain are indeed a trouble. ”

I raised my face and asked him, "What's under the mountain?" ”

Master Du's answer is still confusing: "Your destiny." ”

After saying that, he took me by the hand again and led me down the mountain.

Grandpa didn't dare to follow the mountain, but just waited at the foot of the mountain, until Master Du took me back to the bottom of the mountain, and then Grandpa came over and asked, "What are you doing on the top of the mountain?" ”

Master Du smiled: "I have suppressed the things under the mountain for the time being, you must take care of the talisman on the locust tree, and you must not remove it in advance before Gaidong comes back." ”

Grandpa was stunned: "How do you know that my doll is called Gai Dong?" ”

"Lao Chai told me."

Master Du dealt with it casually, but his pace did not slow down at all, and in the blink of an eye, he distanced himself from his grandfather, and strangely, with my two little short legs, I was able to keep up with his speed steadily, and I didn't feel that I was walking fast.

Master Du took me out of the yard, and once again walked on the mountain road that Su Ye had taken me on, this time, I completely lost interest in the scenery on the side of the road, and then hit two feet on this mountain road, thinking about it was all the yellow soup in the Bazi River, the more I thought about it, the more afraid I was, the more I was afraid and the more I thought.

The sunny side of Tsukayama soon appeared in front of him, and Master Du also stopped, and took out a white candle as thick as an arm's length, a box of matches, and an iron ruler from the leather bag he carried with him.

He first dug a pit in the ground with an iron ruler, then put the candle in it, wiped a match, and lit the wick.

When the candle flame was first lit, the flame was very weak, and there was only a blue flame without a yellow flame, and any gust of wind could blow it out, but after a while, the flame rose again with an astonishing momentum, and the flame body quickly glowed a dazzling orange red.

During this period, Master Du kept reciting words in his mouth, his voice was very small, and his speed of speech was also very fast, and I couldn't hear what he said. He didn't stop talking until the candle flame was strong.

Looking at his various actions, I gradually forgot the horror of the Bazi River, and my heart was only full of curiosity: "Master Du, what are you doing?" ”

"Even if I can't take you away, these arrangements can give you another two years of life. In these years, there is no green and yellow in the industry, and it is a pity that the best seedlings are broken like this. ”

It seems that only the first half of these words are addressed to me, and the second half seems to be talking to myself.

After saying that, he first gave me a gentle smile, then pulled me up and continued to walk in the direction of the Bazi River.

Grandpa also caught up at this time, he ran very fast, panting violently, unable to speak, he could only run while waving his hand to Master Du, apparently trying to make Master Du stop.

But Master Du didn't pay attention, just led me and walked sullenly.

It didn't take long for the Bazi River to appear in front of me again, looking at the yellow soup rushing in the river, I was so scared that I subconsciously grabbed Master Du's hand, for fear that he would accidentally drop me.

Before walking on the stone bridge, Master Du stopped and said to me, "Do you dare to follow me up the bridge?" ”

"But I'm scared!"

I said I was afraid, but I still grabbed Master Du's hand and didn't want to let go for a moment.

Master Du reached out with his other hand and rubbed my head: "Master is here, don't be afraid." ”

In fact, I didn't know what the word "master" was in his mouth at the time, but when I heard him say this, my heart instantly became extremely peaceful, as if the yellow soup in the river was really not so scary.

Then Master Du pulled me and stepped on the stone bridge step by step.

When I stepped on the bridge with my first foot, my heart was still tightening, but I don't know why, but with both feet on the bridge, I was not so afraid.

At this time, my grandfather also came to the bridge, and as soon as he saw me following Master Du to the bridge, he panted and muttered, "Why is it him?" ”
