Actually, we didn't pay much attention to my cousin's words. After all, when people are old and close to death, they are inevitably suspicious.

After dinner, we lay down tired.

Ladies are preferred, and Musou Kimono sleeps in bed. The abbot and I lay on the floor.

Wushuang closed his eyes and said silently: "Xu You, will you go to see Lao Hei tomorrow?" ”

I also closed my eyes and said, "I can't wait to see Lao Hei now, but I'm too tired." How long have we been tossing? ”

The abbot said, "It's been almost a week since I came out of the underworld. ”

I nodded and sighed: "It's been almost a week, and there is still no news of the skinny ones." I'm getting more and more worried about whether the snake is lying to me, but he doesn't need to lie to me. ”

We chatted with each other like this, and after a while, gradually fell asleep.

The next morning, we had breakfast, said goodbye to my cousin, and set out to look for Lao Hei.

Mrs. Zhang's graves are still there, but there are no souls or corpses in them. It's really dead.

We lingered in front of the grave for a while. Then he walked in the direction of the old black.

There are lush trees growing there. We stood on the ground and shouted at the tangled old tree, "Old Hei, we have come to see you." ”

The old tree didn't move, just a breeze blew and shook twice.

Wushuang looked at the tree, stabbed it with a peachwood sword, and said, "Lao Hei shouldn't be dead." Or did he run away? ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Probably not." This tree has grown with him, and one is lost, and the other is prosperous. The tree is still alive, and Lao Hei should still be there. ”

As soon as I had finished speaking, I heard a hearty laugh coming from behind the tree. Then came Lao Hei's voice: "Xu You, after this experience, you are really a lot more meticulous." How, did you slaughter Hades? ”

I watched as the old black came out from behind the tree. couldn't help but take a step back, and the next second realized that this was not his real body, just a divine thought.

I looked at Lao Hei and asked vigilantly, "Haven't you been out of trouble yet?" ”

Lao Hei nodded, his expression became a little sad: "Wen Yu refuses to save me, how can I get out of trouble?" ”

Then he looked at us and asked eagerly, "What about Wen Yu?" Why didn't he come with you? ”

We were all silent, and Lao Hei suddenly became very anxious and asked, "Is something wrong with Wen Yu?" Tell me. Speak. ”

Although I know that it is just a divine thought, it is impossible to hurt us. Still, we were a little frightened by his yelling.

Then I gave a succinct account of the snake at the bottom of the well. After hearing this, Lao Hei laughed twice, and then said, "I see, I see." If he said that, Wen Yu should be safe and sound. ”

I asked Lao Hei, "Where is Wen Yu now?" ”

Lao Hei shook his head: "I don't know. Then he said hopefully, "I don't know where she is now, but soon he will come back to me, and this is fate, and she will not escape." ”

I saw that Lao Hei's words were full of confidence, and I remembered the tragic situation of Wen Yu's self-harm, and I couldn't help but worry about her.

Lao Hei asked us excitedly, "That's what you say." The wizard was killed by you? ”

Wushuang nodded: "Yes, it was thrown into the soul pool." ”

Lao Hei nodded, with a smile on his face: "Not bad, not bad." ”

Then he looked at me with a smile. It seems to be very proud. Suddenly, he withdrew his smile again. He began to frown and mutter, "This thing seems to be too easy......"

Wushuang pointed at the abbot and asked Lao Hei, "Do you still know him?" ”

Lao Hei sneered: "Of course I know." If it weren't for me, this kid would have died a long time ago. ”

The abbot was also confused and asked Lao Hei: "Tell me there, who am I?" ”

Lao Hei looked at the abbot a little strangely: "You don't know? ”

The abbot shook his head blankly: "I don't know." ”

Lao Hei suddenly made a look of sudden realization. Then he said lightly: "I don't know." ”

Then, in a flash, his figure disappeared behind the old tree, never to be seen again.

I watched in amazement, not knowing what he meant. I shouted to Lao Hei: "You come out, I have something to ask you." Who are those people who look exactly like me? Did you already know about the demon way? ”

Lao Hei never said anything more.

I was angry and anxious, and I picked up my peachwood sword to cut down the old tree. Then, as if there was some spirit, the tree cut off one branch and immediately grew another.

Wushuang grabbed me: "Forget it." The old black is locked up, and there is no way to deal with us. We can't kill him. Let's go back and rest, and look for Wen Yu and their news. Don't wait for Wen Yu to accidentally release Lao Hei and then be in a hurry. ”

I nodded, and walked back with my head down. This trip, in addition to getting the news that Lao Hei is still locked up. For the rest, nothing was found.

We came and went fast this time. When I arrived at Dasheng Village, it was not yet noon.

There was a man at the entrance of the village, carrying a large bag, who was walking in a hurry.

We saw that his face was full of anxiety, as if there was something more urgent than the sky. As he walked past us, I distinctly heard him muttering, "It's over, it's too late." It's over, it's over, it's going to be a missed hour. ”

We followed him strangely: "What do you mean?" Missed the hour? ”

We followed him to the entrance of the village. Between this man stood reverently on the ground. I looked at my watch. Then ten steps to the east and another ten steps to the south. Subsequently, the location where he stood happened to be the traffic artery of Dasheng Village.

Then the man fell to his knees with a thud. He took out a wad of paper money from the bag and began to burn the paper, burning it as he went. While crying: "Dad, hurry up with your illness." Dad, why is your illness not good? ”

The man burned paper money while craned his neck and glanced around. I was dumbfounded.

I looked at Wushuang: "Listen to what he means, his dad is sick?" Not dead yet? ”

Wushuang nodded: "It doesn't seem to be dead yet." ”

I said with some suspicion: "People are still alive, is it appropriate to burn paper money here?" ”

We're talking. Suddenly, a man walking on the side of the road came to him. This man was sweating under the scorching sun, and it was very hard.

The person who was originally kneeling on the ground and burning paper money cried even louder, and it was earth-shattering: "Dad, wake up." Don't die, Dad......"

The man carrying the firewood on his back looked at the filial son who burned the paper money, and couldn't help but stop. He wanted to say something, but shook his head and walked on.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step, the filial son grabbed his clothes: "Save my dad." I beg you, save my dad. ”

The person carrying the firewood had a very embarrassed expression, and he said anxiously: "This old brother, I am a woodcutter, how can I manage your father's affairs?" ”

Then he hurried forward. The filial son did not give up, and while the firewood man was not paying attention, he reached out and dragged the firewood on his back down.

The firewood bearer was in a hurry, and hurriedly bent down to carry the firewood.

At this time, the filial son didn't know where to come out of a bowl of soup. He said to the woodcutter, "Brother, it's cold, mung bean soup, drink it to quench your thirst." ”

It could be seen that the woodcutter wanted to leave. But he looked very thirsty again. After hesitating for a moment, he still picked up the bowl of mung bean soup, tilted his neck, and drank the bowl of mung bean soup.

He wiped his mouth and handed the bowl to Xiaozi: "Thank you, thank you." Then he turned and was about to leave.

At this time, the filial son grabbed the clothes of the man carrying the firewood, knelt on the ground, and said cryingly: "You drank my mung bean soup, so you can save my father." ”

The woodcutter was stunned, as if he didn't expect the filial son to make this move. He reluctantly looked at his filial son, and then sighed. Reaching into his arms, he pulled out two pieces of something like the same as the roots. handed it to the filial son and said, "I went up the mountain to chop wood in the past two days, and it was easy to get these two pieces of herbs." I was going to keep it for myself later. However, seeing that you are in such a hurry, I have to give it to you. Hey, it's a hot day, I'm afraid I'll have to go up the mountain tomorrow. ”

The boy said something with a thousand thanks. Then he grabbed two tree roots and ran away.
