The next morning, Qiao Sanye rushed to the morning market, and as soon as he got home, he immediately started the fire to cook, and the master said that he was going to buy some things today, and he rushed out of the house without taking care of eating, but before going out, he also had to take the test for my homework.

Ever since I saw Master doing such a ritual in the courtyard, all night long, I have been thinking about the flying sand barrier that Master had brought in, and the rune paper that would not be blown away by the wind no matter what, and I had long forgotten all the things Master had taught me before.

Sure enough, when Master asked me to recite the Plain Book, I could barely recite a few complete paragraphs, which made Master very unhappy, he was unhappy, and I was not happy.

Ever since I was a child, Master has never scolded me, let alone beaten me, but every time I see his face pulled down, I feel very uncomfortable.

After the master left, I stood in the courtyard alone sullenly, and I didn't want to enter the house, because I felt that I didn't memorize the "Plain Book" today, and Qiao Sanye might also be a little angry.

But after a while, Qiao Sanye came out of the house with two lollipops.

He stood at the door of the house and looked around, and saw me standing in the corner of the courtyard, so he walked over with a smile: "What, I was scolded by your master?" ”

I shook my head: "Master never scolds. ”

"Lao Du really treats you as a baby, and he is reluctant to scold you, who has never been scolded or beaten as an apprentice?" As he spoke, he squatted down, opened a piece of candy and put it in my hand: "You have to endorse it well in the future, don't make your master angry again." Come, eat a candy first, and I'll call you when breakfast is ready. ”

As he spoke, he pulled out the sugar in my hand again and stuffed it directly into my mouth, feeling the sweetness on the candy ball, my mood immediately improved a lot, and even the tips of my eyebrows were stretched.

Qiao Sanye looked at me and said, "It's delicious, right?" ”

"It's delicious."

"The third master is okay with you?"

"Okay."

"Then should you honor the third master in the future?"

I nodded earnestly.

Qiao Sanye rubbed my head, put the remaining lollipop into my pocket, and then turned back to the house, he was still muttering there before entering the door: "This kid is really painful, much better than my little rabbit cubs." ”

Looking back on what happened back then, I realized that I was so popular when I was a child, and God knows how I became the ghost I am now when I grew up.

Alas, the past is unbearable, really unbearable.

After Qiao Sanye entered the house, I stood in the courtyard and watched the sky, now the sky has completely brightened, and my favorite bright blue has appeared in the sky, and when the sun rises a little higher, this blue will become more transparent.

But after looking at it for a while, I felt that something was wrong, not only did the sky not become brighter, but it was a little darker, and the sky above the yard was like a thin but dense spider web, gray.

At this time, I heard light footsteps outside the courtyard, and my first reaction was that Master had returned, but when I thought about it, my Master's footsteps were very steady when he walked, but the footsteps were light.

Squeak-squeak-squeak-squeaw-squea

With a long and soft sound, the courtyard door was pulled open from the outside, and I looked out of the door, and saw a tall, thin young man standing in the doorway, his skin as pale as mine, and his whole face without much flesh, his cheeks sunken deeply, forming two concave pits, and his eyeballs seemed to be dyed, showing a strange earthy yellow.

When I first saw him, I didn't know what was wrong, my heart was tight, and the cold hairs on my back stood up all of a sudden.

But I stared into his eyes for a while, and I was not so afraid, and there was a deep sadness in his eyes, and I could feel that he was angry, in short, he was in a very bad mood.

At that time, I thought to myself, maybe he did the same wrong thing as me, which is why he is so unhappy.

He stood in the doorway, staring at me motionlessly, and I remembered that I still had a lollipop in my pocket, so I hurried to the door and handed the candy over.

Master said that I was not allowed to play outside the yard during this period of time, so I stood in the yard and stretched out my hand to the door: "Give it to you, you will be in a good mood after eating." I wasn't happy just now, so I just ate sugar. ”

The man stretched out his hand sharply, and all five fingers stretched out as if to grab my wrist, but he looked at the candy in my hand, and his movements slowed again.

In the end, he hesitated, but still took the candy, but he didn't eat it, just stared at the candy in a daze.

I had already eaten my own sugar, and there was only a sweet rod left in my mouth, when I saw him holding the candy in his hand, I couldn't help but be greedy: "Your candy, can you lick it for me, just give it to me." ”

He looked up at me, but he didn't hand me the sugar.

I felt that he was still very sad, and quickly said, "It's better for you to eat it yourself, I've already eaten one." ”

That being said, my eyes were still fixed on the candy in his hand.

He stared at me for a long time, and then he turned his head and staggered away, his body was so thin and stumbling along the way, I was really afraid that he would suddenly fall to the ground.

The sun was far from bright, but behind him, there was a long shadow, I don't know if it was my illusion, I always felt that the shadow was fluffy.

It wasn't until the figure of the man disappeared from view that the sky suddenly brightened, and when I looked up again, my favorite bright blue appeared in the sky.

"Xiao Dongzi, come and eat, the third master made you potstickers, make sure you love to eat." Qiao Sanye wiped his hands with a towel and came to the door of the house to shout.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly frowned, and rushed towards the gate of the courtyard with the wind hanging behind him, and before I could reflect, he picked me up, and then he stretched his neck and looked out of the door: "What a heavy resentment!" ”

I said to Qiao Sanye: "Third Master, there was a very thin person outside the door just now, I thought he was unhappy, so I gave him the rest of the lollipop, but he left without eating." ”

The expression on Qiao Sanye's face became more and more solemn: "You went out just now?" ”

"No, Master won't let me go out of the courtyard."

"That's good, that's good, it's good that you didn't go out." Qiao Sanye finally glanced out of the door, and then carried me back to the house: "Let's go, let's go back to the house, you tell me what happened just now in detail." ”

Back in the house, Qiao Sanye let me have a hot meal first, and then asked me to explain what I had just happened in detail, and what he cared about most was the appearance of the young man.

When I finished talking about the matter, Qiao Sanye said sullenly: "That person is afraid that he has been caught by a tanuki." ”
