Chapter 8 Come and Go Freely
The girl seemed to be lost in thought.
After a while, he slowly stood up: "In that case, then you can come with me!" ”
"Thank you!" Bai Zhi nodded, and followed the girl towards the deep mountains. Deep in the mountains, all the plants seemed to be able to sense where the girl was, and they avoided a path.
That's why the plants here are very lush.
Everything is preserved as it is!
There is no way into the mountains, and ordinary people may not have imagined that there are trees that will make way for people.
We followed the girl, and after a short time came to a lake, and there was a house around the lake, which formed a compass shape, and on the surface of the lake were lined with bamboo poles. Criss-crossed, not a bridge, but can pass people.
In the center of the lake, there is a pavilion made of bamboo, which stands in the middle of the lake. It's as if it's transcendent.
At this time, I saw a child's body flying, speeding over the bamboo pole and going to the other side of the lake.
I was horrified to see.
"Be careful!" When the girl saw this scene, she seemed to be a little speechless, and reminded her loudly.
"Got it, sister!"
The boy laughed twice, but there was no stagnation under his feet, and he jumped lightly and went ashore.
The girl smiled helplessly, shook her head slightly, looked back at us and said, "Come with me, two of you!" ”
As he spoke, he jumped lightly onto a bamboo pole.
Xiu jumped and walked towards another bamboo pole.
My face changed in an instant, I glanced at Bai Zhi beside me, and hurriedly shook my head and said, "This, I can't get over this, I ...... I won't ......."
"It's okay, there's me!"
Bai Zhi smiled indifferently, holding me in one hand, and followed the girl directly to the bamboo pole.
Immediately afterwards, like a dragonfly dotting water, it jumped directly onto a promenade in the middle of the lake.
"Squeak......
At the moment when we went ashore, the door of the bamboo building on the shore was suddenly opened.
It is as if a fresh breeze is blowing and greeting the passing guests.
The girl ushered us into the room and slowly stood aside.
"Ahem...... cough sound, an old man slowly walked out of the back room, and said happily: "Soho, why did you bring guests back today without informing me?" ”
And the girl giggled: "Whether I say it or not, grandpa doesn't know!" ”
"You!"
The old man sighed, and then focused his gaze on me: "I haven't been involved in the outside world for too long, this kid is a person who is important to the Yin and Yang family, and he has an inseparable relationship with Confucianism. ”
My eyes rolled twice, and I didn't know what to say.
I could only look at the old man in front of me quietly, he looked like an ordinary old man, and there was not even a little bit of different breath leaking from his body, so that I wondered if I had come to the right place.
I looked at Bai Zhi beside me with some suspicion.
Bai Zhi paused for a moment and then said, "Chen Xianyao asked me to give a word to my seniors. ”
"What?" The old man sat down slowly in the chair, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was very interested in Bai Zhi's words, and listened quietly.
Bai Zhi laughed: "If you come, you will be safe!" ”
Hearing this sentence made my heart tremble, which is also a sentence that my father once said to me. It's also the origin of my name, and I don't quite understand why Bai Zhi suddenly said such a thing at this time.
The old man laughed.
Then he sighed: "This kid knows what I need." The Yin and Yang family wanted this child, but Chen Xianyao sent the child to me, aren't you afraid that you just got out of the wolf's den and entered the tiger's mouth again? ”
"Tiger poison does not eat children."
Bai Zhi said lightly.
The old man's face gradually became solemn, and after a long time, he beckoned to me gently: "Come here, let me see!" ”
I wondered what the old man was trying to do.
I also don't understand the words between him and Bai Zhi very well.
However, the old man didn't seem to have any ill will towards me, so I only hesitated slightly, and then walked a few steps forward and came to the old man.
The old man looked at my face silently.
After a moment, he continued, "Soho, arrange a place for him to live." ”
"Okay, grandpa!" Soho nodded hurriedly.
However, in an instant, the old man changed his appearance, and then continued: "I can keep this child, but I have one condition. ”
"Senior, please speak!" Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said.
The old man laughed: "You don't have to be so nervous, it's not a big deal, it's really God's will that this kid came here today." Since the will of heaven cannot be violated, then I will also accept it. However, in my ghost valley, I only accept people who come and go freely. I will treat him as a guest when he comes, and he can come with your help, but if he leaves, he will have to rely on himself! ”
Although I didn't hear the previous string clearly, I understood the last sentence.
Suddenly, cold sweat broke out on my head, this old man wants me to go back directly from the center of the lake?
And I can't ask Bai Zhi to help, which is really not good news.
"No way!" Before Bai Zhi could speak, I hurriedly said, then glanced at the old man with some grievances, and then continued: "I, I can't ...... water"
"It's none of my business, if anyone helps him, it's a disservice to him. If Chen Xianyao's children don't even have this ability, my ghost valley will naturally not be able to tolerate it! The old man coughed dryly, but without any hesitation, he slowly stood up and walked towards the back room again.
And then, a fresh breeze blew.
The door opened.
At this time, the old man had already entered the back room.
The corners of my mouth twitched violently, and then I looked at Bai Zhi with some grievances, thinking in my heart, no matter what, I had to ask her to help think of a way.
And Bai Zhi actually ignored me and glanced at Soho, and said softly: "Let's go first, and I'll help him clean up the house." ”
"Okay!" Soho smiled sweetly.
Immediately after that, he jumped lightly with Bai Zhi, leaving a series of shaking ripples on the surface of the lake, and the figures of the two people were light, and they had already gone towards the shore of the lake.
And I stood there a little dazed, looking at everything in front of me.
I almost cried.
Growing up, I didn't have much contact with water because my father rarely let me go out. The only thing I had access to was a well at home, but I had fallen into that well, and if my father hadn't found it in time, I would have drowned.
Since then, I've been a little afraid of things like water.
Seeing the two of them standing on the opposite bank and entering a house, I was stunned for a moment, looking at the lake and bamboo poles in front of me, and subconsciously took two steps back.
I mustered up the courage to step on it, but I found that my feet had just been stained with the bamboo pole, and the bamboo pole was submerged in the water, and with a rotation, it directly left the center of my foot.
Then, I didn't have the courage anymore.
Some stood there blankly, at a loss.
The door behind me was closed, I took a deep breath, this time, I was not so afraid, and I somewhat understood the purpose of Bai Zhi's doing.
The world is so big, I'm afraid there isn't much place for me anymore.
And here, it's one. If I can stay here, I will not only be able to live, but I will also be able to learn.
"Fight!" I took a deep breath and cheered myself up, thinking of the boy who had been walking on the surface of the lake before, and I couldn't even compare to a child.
Thinking of this, I stepped directly on the bamboo pole again!
"Puff ......"
With a crisp sound, my whole body was directly immersed in the water, and I felt the water constantly pouring into my mouth, ears, and closed mouth.
