Chapter 59: The White Pendant
As the cry sounded, the worm that flew towards me retracted violently, and flew back to its original position, just like the video that was playing paused and then quickly retreated, I was stunned to see it, this is too weird.
When the grasshopper returned to its original position, it stretched out its head and looked left and right a few times, and then disappeared into the grass in an instant.
Of course, I knew that I couldn't let my guard down at this time, and I glared and scanned the woods, I wanted to see where the worm had gone, and what was the sharp sound just now, and why the worm didn't attack me when it heard it?
I had a lot of question marks in my head, but I looked at it for a long time and saw nothing.
Then I suddenly remembered that I was still in the grass, and I hurried out of the woods and stood on the road, which gave me a little more security.
I stared into the woods, but by this time the silence of the forest had returned, as if nothing had happened. This gave me a dreamlike feeling again, and for some reason, since I came out of the tomb, this feeling has appeared from time to time.
I settled down, paid attention to the movement around me, and began to walk in the direction of Tianqingguan.
Thinking of the voice just now, it was a bit like the old Daogu, so if it was her, why would she save me? Do you want me to be her aunt?
Thinking of this, I laughed myself, Hu San and I took her hometown, she can't wait to eat my flesh and drink my blood, how can she save me?
Thinking all the way, I'm already near the house, should I go and see it again? I seem to have some obsessive-compulsive disorder, such as the house in front of me, which is obviously nothing to see, but there is a powerful force in my heart that persuades me to go and see.
But in the end, I still defeated the demon in my heart and bypassed it far away, because I thought of Xiaolian, is there anything more important than her at this time?
Soon, I walked to the bottom of the cliff, and as soon as I looked up, I saw the courtyard wall of the Azure Temple. Think about it a few days ago, I visited here three times, the first time I didn't know how to get here, the second time was me and Hu San, and the third time was attracted by Xiaolian.
I looked at the black courtyard wall on the top of the cliff, is Xiaolian still waiting for me with a candle in that room? Does she want to see me again, too?
I suddenly thought of the strange shadow I saw in the window that day, and my heart suddenly tightened, I won't appear again today!
I took a few breaths, then luckily in the dantian, with a strong foot, jumped to the top of the cliff.
For Tianqingguan, as well as Xiaolian, and the old Daogu, there are still many mysteries that have not been solved, last time I wanted to ask Xiaolian clearly, but she refused to say, she only told me that she was a normal person. I knew she might have something to hide, but the more she refused to say it, the more I felt uncomfortable, and the more I wanted to know what secrets she had.
I stood outside the courtyard wall, holding the wall with both hands, and looked into the courtyard, the reason why I was so cautious was because I was afraid that the old Taoist aunt was inside, and I would not have any sense of precaution against Xiaolian.
As the last time I visited, the house was still lit up, and I nervously looked at the window paper illuminated by the light, but fortunately, there was no shadow on the window. Seriously, I'm so afraid to see that strange shadow again, although I believe it's not Xiaolian, but it must have something to do with her, or maybe it's the old Daogu's. I really don't want to see Xiaolian have anything to do with those crooked things.
I climbed over the wall and walked towards the lighted room, I was so nervous that my heart began to beat wildly, for some reason, every time I saw Xiaolian, I was extremely nervous.
Walking to the door, I knocked lightly with my trembling hands, and as soon as I knocked, the door opened, and I retracted my hand sharply, and looked up to see that Xiaolian was standing at the door. Like last time, she was still dressed in tight-fitting black, but her pretty face was slightly tired.
"You're here?" Xiaolian lowered her head slightly and said, "Come in." ”
I smiled and nodded.
The room didn't seem to change in the slightest as it had been the last time I left, not even the shape of the bedding on the bed. Why do I remember it so clearly, because the quilt was folded by me, and it was a little big and small. Has it been since that day that no one has lived here? Where is Xiaolian's mother and son?
After sitting down, I said, "You...... Where do you live now? ”
"In town!" Xiaolian said softly.
Town? This answer came as a bit of a surprise to me. I thought she must be living in some remote place with the old Daogu.
"Do you have to come here every week, then?" I asked.
Xiaolian nodded, "I only have time on Saturday." ”
I wanted to ask her what she was doing here, but she still didn't ask after opening her mouth for a long time, because last time Xiaolian told me that she would tell me if she knew, and what she didn't tell me was what she couldn't say.
"I'm going out of town in two days." I say.
Xiaolian raised her head after hearing this, and stared at me for a few moments, I don't know if those crystal clear eyes can be described as affectionate, anyway, in my eyes.
"And when are you going to come back?" Bu Lian's soft voice seemed to have some anxiety in it, and she lowered her head slightly after speaking.
"I don't know, probably for a long time." In fact, I estimate that this trip to Xiangxi should not be too long, but I deliberately said this to see Xiaolian's reaction.
She was stunned for a long time and didn't speak, but from the expression on her face, I could already tell that she was a little reluctant.
"Do you want me to come back sooner?" I don't know how I got so bold to ask her that.
Xiaolian nodded and hummed softly.
I almost jumped out of my chair with joy when I saw her reaction.
"Xiaolian, you ......" I wanted to ask if you liked me, but I didn't ask you for a long time, because I was too inferior at this time, and I really felt that I was not worthy of the peerless beauty in front of me.
But what made me ecstatic was that Xiaolian actually nodded again, and I noticed that her cheeks were slightly red, as if she was a little shy. Does she know what I'm trying to say? I was so happy in my heart that I unconsciously smiled on my face.
"Then I'll try to come back to see you as soon as possible!" I say.
"Well, be careful outside." After speaking, Xiaolian took out something and handed it over, "This is for you, it will keep you safe." ”
I saw that it was a pendant, opaque pure white, and strangely it was neither Guanyin nor any Buddha statue, but an irregular shape, with two small holes in the middle, like eyes, and a red thread passed through the holes above.
After taking the pendant, I said thank you, at this time my face was very feverish, because since I met Xiaolian, I haven't bought any gifts for her, and now I have to accept other girls' things, I really hate myself for not pursuing girls.
