"It's really strange, why did it suddenly thunder? The sky was still full of stars just now! Second Master Qi said in wonder.

I looked up and saw that the sky was already dark, and there was still the shadow of half a star.

After a while, a bean-sized drop of water fell on my forehead, and it rained! The rain fell rapidly, and the rain suddenly became heavier, and everyone dodged, but in this wilderness, there was no shelter around, and no matter how they dodged, they were all drenched in soup.

I didn't hide, but stood in front of the ravine, staring at it with my eyes, even though I couldn't see anything.

Second Master Qi didn't hide, he just stood next to me, maybe he was worried that I was sick from the rain and he couldn't explain it to the master, he took off the cotton shirt and covered it above my head, and muttered: "How can I be cremated in such a heavy rain!" ”

As soon as Second Master Qi's words fell, a heart-rending scream of "Ah ......" suddenly came from the ravine.

As soon as he heard the voice, he knew that it was Bai Xiaowu who sent it, and Second Master Qi immediately turned his head and said loudly: "It's not good!" Mo Daochang and Wu Yanzi are only afraid that something has happened, come some people, come in with me and have a look! ”

After all, Qi Erye is the head of a village, and he still has considerable appeal when he speaks, and as soon as his voice fell, he immediately got a response from more than a dozen young men who were a little bolder, and everyone gathered around with a guy in their hands, Qi Erye didn't say a word, pulled out the firewood knife on his waist, and led the big guy to run into the ravine that was not in the middle of winter.

Due to the rain, there is no way to light the torch, fortunately, Qi Er Ye also prepared a flashlight, in this era, the flashlight is a rarity, it is estimated that the entire Qiping Village is just such one, Qi Er Ye is obviously reluctant to use it, so when he entered the ravine just now, he did not take out the flashlight.

Originally, I shouldn't have followed, but because I was worried about Master, I also ran with the big guy into the ravine.

The rugged path in the ravine is not easy to walk, plus it is raining heavily, the ground is very slippery, it is even more difficult to walk, the big guy is originally running, but after really entering the ravine, he can only walk forward cautiously and slowly, but this is fine, or I am an eight-year-old little boy, how can I keep up with their footsteps!

I fell several times along the way, my whole body was covered with mud, and my right arm was also scratched by sharp stones, and I couldn't hold back the pain in my heart, and tears poured out of my eyes. However, with such a heavy rain, I couldn't tell whether it was tears or rain, and no one noticed that I was crying, so I didn't want people to see my weak side, so as not to embarrass Master.

In fact, at that time, the big guys were in a state of high nervousness, and no one even noticed that I ran in.

A group of people walked on the muddy rugged mountain road for a while, and suddenly a white figure appeared in front of them, stumbling towards us, Qi Erye took a flashlight, it turned out to be Bai Xiaowu who was wearing linen and filial piety, only to see that his face was pale, bloodless, and he seemed to be extremely frightened.

"Wu Yanzi! What's wrong? What about Mo Daochang!? Second Master Qi hurriedly stepped forward to hug Bai Xiaowu and asked eagerly.

Bai Xiaowu opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word, he just pointed back with his hand, his face full of horror.

I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart, could it be that Ma Laoqi cheated the corpse again? Nothing will happen to Master, right!? For a while, he couldn't be afraid, and cried out "Master......", so he immediately rushed forward.

Only then did Second Master Qi discover me and shouted, "Hey! Why did this baby come with him!? Come back! ”

But where can I listen to it, now my heart is only thinking about Master, Master is my only relative on this shijie, if something happens to him, how can I live!

I don't have a flashlight, I can't see the road at all, I can only move forward in the dark, although I am most afraid of the dark on weekdays, but I don't feel scared at all at this time.

Second Master Qi must have been worried about my safety, so he soon picked it up, and shouted while returning it: "You kid, run slower!" Don't fall! ”

Although Qi Erye is an adult and I am just a child, but he does not dare to run on this rugged and muddy mountain road, so the speed is not faster than me, we have always maintained a distance of seven or eight meters, in order to let me see the road ahead, he tried his best to shine the flashlight forward, but the spotlight is not very good, and it seems that the light is almost out of battery, the beam of light shot out is dim and weak, and it does not make the front brighter much, of course, a little light is better than a pitch black.

Finally ran to the open space where the firewood stacks were piled up, and Second Master Qi finally picked me up, but he didn't drag me back, because the scene in front of me made both of us stunned.

I saw that the wooden coffin that was originally flat on the firewood stack had been dumped aside, and the coffin lid had been lifted to the outside, and next to the firewood stack, two people were lying quietly.

Two people? That's right! Two people indeed! The one wearing the Taoist robe is naturally the master, and the other, needless to say, is the body of Ma Laoqi! Because at this moment, the wooden coffin was already empty.

I didn't think much about what was going on, and I shouted, "Master! He immediately pounced.

Just as I pounced on the master's side, I suddenly felt a cold air hit, and the temperature around me suddenly seemed to drop several degrees, I couldn't help but shiver, and before I could react to what was going on, my weak body was thrown up by a powerful liliang and fell heavily to the ground, and my brain was dizzy for a while, and I soon fainted.

When I woke up, it was already broad daylight, and I turned my head to see that it seemed to be in a room, and I was lying on a bamboo bed, with a wide back in front of me, and a large group of people sitting around, as if discussing something.

I struggled to get up, but I felt pain all over my body.

At this time, someone noticed my movement and shouted, "This doll is awake!" ”

The wide back immediately turned around, accompanied by a choking smell of dry smoke, it turned out to be Second Master Qi.

"You kid can be regarded as waking up, and he has slept for three days and three nights!" Second Master Qi said in surprise.

"What about my master? Where is my master? "The first thing I said when I opened my mouth was to ask Master, because just before I woke up, I had a long, long dream, in which Master was clearly in front of me, but he didn't seem to hear me, and no matter how I called him, he ignored me, so in fact, I woke up crying, and there were tears in the corners of my eyes.

"Mo Daochang, he ......" Second Master Qi sighed, and stopped talking, and the others also buried their heads.

Later, I learned that Master had been badly injured that day, and when the villagers hurriedly carried him back, he was almost dying, and he passed away before the doctor from the township clinic arrived.

The villagers helped the master build a grave, right at the entrance to the ravine, which was said to have been made according to the master's orders, and his peachwood sword was buried with him, and it seemed that he was going to go to another shijie to continue his old job.

In front of Master's grave, I almost cried into tears, and I don't know how I could have so many tears when I have always thought I am strong! The only relative in this world has left me like this, how will I live in the future? I really want to follow Master, but I don't have the courage.

Maybe it was because the physical injury had not recovered, and I cried for too long, I fainted again, and when I woke up, it was already a day later, and the second master Qi had been waiting next to me, and he told me that before the master died, he told me that there were three things that the master had told me that he had to leave me, the worn-out compass, and the brass bell, and it was said that there was a book, which was pressed under a brick at the head of his bed, and he could only wait until he got home to rummage through it.

Holding the compass and copper bell handed to me by the second master of Qi, I couldn't cry again when I saw things and thought about people.

He has a fellow disciple in the county seat, that is, my uncle, and asked me to go to him, for whom I have never met, but I have often heard Master mention that his temper is not very good. Of course, this is not my only choice, I can also choose to stay in Qiping Village, this is what Qi Erye said, he said that the master is the great benefactor of Qiping Village, so as long as I am willing to stay, he will raise me, he promises, he will treat me like his own son!

Although Second Master Qi gave me an inexplicable sense of security, I weighed it again and again, and decided to go to the county seat where I had never met my uncle, after all, this was the master's arrangement before his death, and I had to abide by it.

Qiping Village is located in the middle of nowhere, there is no car directly to the county seat, I have to drive more than ten miles of mountain roads to reach Sanyuan Township, and then take the shuttle bus to the county seat twice a day, my home and Master are located in Sanyuan Township, just by the way, I can go back to pick up the book that Master left me, and by the way, pack a few clothes and bring them.

Because I was still injured, it was inconvenient to travel too far, so early in the morning, Qi Erye asked someone to find an ox cart, so he sat on the ox cart with me and personally escorted me to Sanyuan Township.

Along the way, Second Master Qi kept telling me that if I couldn't stay with my uncle, I would go back to Qiping Village, no matter when, Qiping Village would be my home, because Master's soul stayed here.

Second Master Qi's words warmed my heart, and I suddenly felt that I was not so lonely in this world, but when I thought of the master, my heart was sad again, and tears flowed down uncontrollably.
