Chapter 20: Concealment

With a depressed mood, I came out of the Three Treasures Bodhi Temple alone, and Xiao Jiu'er insisted on staying on the mountain for a few days, leaving me alone to go home first. I wanted to persuade her to go down the mountain with me, but seeing that she was in a low mood, I thought it would be good to let her calm down there alone.

I waited for a long time at the bus stop, but I couldn't get the bus. I have mixed feelings in my heart, thinking back to what I just experienced, and I feel that fate will really play a joke on me.

was originally a waste of firewood, but suddenly many people came to pay attention! was originally a simple monster, but it led to many, many more bizarre life experiences! I was about to have a bright future and a beautiful woman by my side, but suddenly said that this man was going to die for me! All this has made my already somewhat unbright head run out of power like a short circuit!

The monk found in the stone room was indeed Xiao Jiu'er's master, and the first time Xiao Jiu'er saw the master, she couldn't cry. Ten years can make a person change a lot, and it can also make people accept another person. After ten years of getting along day and night, Xiao Jiu'er has long regarded the master as his father. I can understand her mood at the moment, if I lose two fathers in succession, I can't bear it!

I tried to persuade her, but both of her fathers seemed to have left her because of me, so what could I do to comfort her?

I could only stand there quietly, until Xiao Jiu'er completely poured out all the grievances in my heart, and then I gently took her into my arms, hoping that this would make her feel a little warm.

Xiao Jiu'er's face was full of tears, she looked at me and asked, "Crazy!" I don't want to die! I don't want to leave you! What am I going to do? Can you tell me? ”

In the face of her question, I couldn't come up with a strong answer, so I could only hug her tighter.

"Won't die! I won't let you leave me! "That's the only thing I can say.

After a long time, we calmed down, and then we carefully checked Xiao Jiu'er's master again.

The broken eggshells on the ground are the same as the shells of duck eggs, and I always thought that the eggshells of the Suzaku should be red, because most people think of the Suzaku as a red bird. But now the eggshell in front of me completely subverts my imagination, except for its huge size, I really can't see anything special!

Xiao Jiu'er circled around her master, sometimes getting closer to look at it carefully, sometimes reaching out and touching her master's body.

I asked her, "Did you find anything in Master?" ”

She shook her head and retracted her hand very helplessly.

Xiao Jiu'er said, "Crazy, look at it again, I may have missed something!" ”

According to her words, I wanted to take off the monk's clothes to see his body, but I was afraid that Xiao Jiu'er would misunderstand, so I had to take a brief look and give up.

But when I was about to leave, I noticed that there seemed to be a picture on a very large eggshell, just like the one on the mat in the meditation room.

I picked up the eggshell and handed it to Xiao Jiu'er, hoping that it was really like that, because this might be the last hope that the monk gave us.

After Xiao Jiu'er saw it, she cried again. She said, "This is the last words left by the master, which probably means that I was negligent in my duty to let the descendants of Suzaku escape, and I was seriously injured, and I wanted to recover with the eggshell of the spirit bird, but the injury was too serious, so I can only hope that the world will be blessed." ”

I asked her, "Didn't your master leave anything for you?" ”

Xiao Jiu'er said, "Master told me that I will die soon. I didn't say how he died, and there was nothing else. ”

After listening to Xiao Jiu'er's words, I was extremely disappointed. But I always feel that Xiao Jiu'er is a little weird, I hope she didn't hide anything from me, right? Maybe she's just being too sad?

But there aren't many pictures on that eggshell, right? Did her master really say so many things? In my heart, I was even more suspicious of Xiao Jiu'er's translation. But it's not good to ask her directly, because even if she hides something, it's a matter between master and apprentice, and I, an outsider, really can't force her to tell anything.

After that, we wandered around the stone chamber for a while and found nothing. But we found the exit, and there was a small door in the dark wall, and it was hard to notice if you didn't pay attention.

Entering from the small door, I turned out to be on a rockery in the Three Treasures Bodhi Temple. This rockery is full of holes, large and small, and we drilled out of one of them.

This makes me think that the wisdom of the ancients is really great, and the hidden skills are really jaw-dropping!

Xiao Jiu'er was silent the whole time, but I could feel that she had something to say but didn't dare or couldn't say to me. It is said that women's intuition is very accurate, but I think men's intuition is not so bad! But since she didn't say it, I couldn't force me to ask no, so I could only be anxious, but my face was full of smiles.

I think smiling at her might make her forget something upset for a while!

But Xiao Jiu'er was like having dementia, her eyes were straight and straight, there was no smile on her face, and she didn't see a trace of dissatisfaction with me. This makes me more and more confused, if you have an opinion about me, you can say, this kind of silence is the most tormenting!

But no matter how I guided and comforted Xiao Jiu'er, she just didn't say a word, and in the end I could only be a mute with her silently.

Xiao Jiu'er returned to the meditation room where her master lived alone, and sat on the bed thinking about something. I didn't dare disturb her, but it made me feel even more uncomfortable standing and watching her like this.

You might as well give me a murderous meal!"

Xu is Xiao Jiu'er woke up, and she said lightly, "You go home first, I'll settle down Master, and then I'll go to you." ”

That's it, and then nothing more. Alas...... In desperation, I could only leave with my head down, but I always felt that Xiao Jiu'er's words left on the eggshell by her master were not what Xiao Jiu'er said. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so indifferent to me all of a sudden! Usually when I behave badly or extremely obscenely, she will beat me violently, and it is the first time that she looks so cold like today, and it really makes me even more frightened!

At the moment when I left the meditation room, the corner of my eye made me suddenly find that Xiao Jiu'er was staring at me tightly. That look is incomprehensible, angry, reluctant, and even seems to have a little bit of love in it! Anyway, it seemed strange to me, and tears began to flow from the corners of her eyes.

I'm sure she's hiding something important! But she didn't say anything and didn't leave me, so I really didn't have any reason to stay here.

Go home! Wait for her there, maybe she'll come to me after she's straightened out all the plots.

I left Xiao Jiu'er like this, and the past few days of getting along have made me a little attached to her. I feel that if I can't see her for a second, I will feel that everything is so boring, and I am even confused about why I am alive!

Step by step down the mountain road, people gradually appeared along the way, or came here for morning exercises, or came here to work, but most of them flashed coldly past me, maybe I am in the eyes of others, just as they seem to me!

Now that's the case, even if I or someone suddenly disappears from this world, most people will not think about it and continue to live their lives. Because there are more and more people on the earth, just like any bird will have a big forest, even if a few die, it will not affect the ecological balance!

Until I stood at the bus stop, I was still thinking about it, and although it was a little messy at first, I was sorting it out little by little.

While waiting for the bus, I concluded that one important thing is that Xiao Jiu'er must have hidden something from me! From the moment she saw that eggshell, I felt that our fate was about to take a major turn!

The buses drove past me one after the other, but I completely ignored the greetings of the conductor on the bus. It was only after hearing the bang that I finally came to my senses and realized that I had missed another bus back to the city.

I've been struggling with my thoughts, whether I should go back to Xiao Jiu'er and ask for clarification. But after a long struggle, I finally gave up.

Suzaku Mountain is in the suburbs, and the buses in our suburbs are still minibuses, so there will be a conductor sticking out of the window at each stop to solicit customers.

Another minibus stopped, and a middle-aged man with hair like a chicken coop stuck out of the window.

"Hey! Going into town? And one last seat. ”

He spoke a little muffled, and it felt a little eerie!

I didn't hesitate to get on the bus, because there are few seats on this kind of suburban minibus, and it is extremely rare to get a seat at the middle stop, and I have been standing for a long time, and my legs are a little numb.

After sitting down, the minibus started to move silently. I'm a little strange, why is there no sound when this car is driving? Is it a new car, the performance is good, even when it is bumpy, it is so smooth!

After looking around, I suddenly felt a little cool behind me! Why did everyone in the car have gloomy faces and didn't say a word? Even if people are tired today, even if everyone is going out alone, someone should be able to make a noise, right? But it's surprisingly quiet in the car now, and the silence makes people start to feel a little hairy!

Kindness? …… What the hell is going on?

Now I regret it, I've been in contact with Xiao Jiu'er for so long, just learn some fortune-telling and divination methods from her, so that now I can calculate what is going on by myself!

Alas! …… There is no regret medicine and no money lunch in the world, where will Xiao Jiu'er teach me her housekeeping skills? Hehe......

With a self-deprecating smile, I turned my head to look out the window, and when I saw the cold faces on the car, I felt uncomfortable.

At this time, the sky outside the car window slowly began to become gloomy, just like the mood I am in now. Isn't it going to rain in a while? God really understands me, does you know that I am in a disturbed mood right now and want some rain to sober me up?

The minibus is driving on the Ring River Road, and you can clearly see the rolling river water outside the window.

Suddenly, a few cats sprang out of the grass on the side of the road and started running with the minibus.

Hehe! Kittens! Would you like to take a ride into town too? It's better to rely on your own four-legged journey, pets are not allowed on the bus!

But where would the kitten outside understand what I was thinking, and still ran wildly with the car. Among them was a black cat that stared at me with good eyes.

Kindness? Why does this cat look familiar? It seems that I have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while.

Where can the driver notice the cat running outside the car, the accelerator under his feet keeps stepping, and the speed of the car is getting faster and faster. The scenery outside the car window was quickly left behind, and even the kittens gradually disappeared.

But I suddenly became a little nervous in my heart, as if something very dangerous was about to happen.
