Chapter 11: The Soul Cage
At noon, Xiao Fei borrowed a mobile phone from the head teacher and called his mother.
"Hey, Huang Bandao, is there anything wrong with Xiao Fei's body?"
Xiao Fei was moved when he heard his mother say that he cared about his body, and then said, "Mom, it's me, Xiao Fei." ”
"Oh, what's wrong with you, Xiaofei? Why did you call me all of a sudden? ”
Xiao Fei plucked up his courage and said, "Mom, don't pick me up tonight, I want to go with my classmates." ”
The mother on the other end of the phone was obviously slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "Okay, okay, you get out of school with your classmates, and I will wait for you at home." ”
"Well, then mom, you're busy, I'm hanging."
After Xiao Fei thanked the head teacher, he walked out of the office, thinking in his heart that he must find a way to find Luo Xiyun at night, borrow the paper lantern again, and see if he can light it.
After all, his arms can move a little now, and it doesn't seem to be difficult to hold the paper lantern.
Xiao Fei was absent-minded all day, and finally stayed up until the end of school.
Luo Xiyun walked out of the classroom first, and after Xiao Fei asked Lin Xiaoxiao to help hang up his backpack, he also followed out of the classroom.
All the way out of the campus, Xiao Fei kept following behind Luo Xiyun, and he was never embarrassed to speak.
Walking past the three street lamps, Luo Xiyun suddenly stopped, turned his head slowly, and asked in a cold tone, "How long are you going to follow?" ”
"Hahaha, Luo Xiyun, now they are all classmates, don't be so cold."
Luo Xiyun replied coldly, "Stay away from me", and then turned around and walked away.
Xiao Fei finally mustered up his courage, trotted forward, and whispered beside Luo Xiyun, "This, can I try that paper lantern of yours again?" I feel like my arm is slowly recovering, and this time it should be lit up. ”
Luo Xiyun paused, then regained his composure and continued to walk forward.
"I didn't bring it."
"I'll accompany you to get it, and let me try again, just once!" Xiao Fei was really anxious at this time, and his arms began to shake slightly unconsciously.
Luo Xiyun sighed and said slowly: "Okay, but we said in advance, if it doesn't work, even if we see it at school from now on, we have to pretend not to know it." ”
Xiao Fei immediately nodded like pounding garlic, and his eyes were full of hope.
Luo Xiyun took Xiao Fei through the city, and after a while, he came to the door of a tavern called "Paper Lantern", Luo Xiyun walked in first, and Xiao Fei followed closely.
The interior is particularly quaint, with vermilion wooden stakes holding up the ceiling full of ancient Chinese myths and stories, the surrounding walls are also a variety of beautiful totems, and directly north of the tavern is a beautiful bartender.
Xiao Fei found that there was a paper lantern hanging on the top of each mahogany table, but it was a very rough kind, not at all as exquisite as one-ten-thousandth of the lantern in the hand of the lantern bearer.
Xiao Fei followed Luo Xiyun through the rows of tables and chairs, and the guests were also a little curious about the two students in school uniforms, but no one stopped them.
The two came to the bar, Luo Xiyun sat on the bar chair, and said to the clerk: "The spirit cage explores the way, and the lantern man appears." ”
The clerk seemed to be a newcomer, and when he heard Luo Xiyun's words, he was stunned for a while, and then said, "Hello, do you want our signboard, paper lantern or red lantern?" ”
"Here's a glass (wick)."
The clerk's expression suddenly became serious, and without saying much, he took out a paper lantern with very exquisite workmanship from the cabinet under the bar and placed it in front of Luo Xiyun and Xiao Fei.
"Feel free to do so, I'll get busy first." After saying that, the clerk went to the other side and continued to start mixing.
Xiao Fei was a little puzzled at this time, and he was not in a hurry to try to light the paper lantern, but asked, "This, just try it here?" Aren't you afraid of many people? ”
Luo Xiyun beckoned the waiter to bring two glasses of lemonade, took a sip alone, and asked rhetorically, "Who will pay attention to you?" ”
Xiao Fei was speechless, feeling that what Luo Xiyun said also made sense, who would pay attention to playing with a broken lantern?
Then, trying to lift his hand up, he reached for the paper lantern on the table.
Luo Xiyun also saw Xiao Fei's arm at this time, and now the range of activity is indeed larger than before, but it still seems to be very difficult to lift it completely, so he reached out and picked up the spirit exploration cage and handed it to Xiao Fei.
After Xiao Fei glanced at Luo Xiyun gratefully, he slowly grabbed the grip of the lantern, and after four or five attempts, he finally held the spirit exploration cage in his hand.
At this time, Xiao Fei was already sweating profusely, but he was extremely excited in his heart, as if he was grasping his own life-saving straw.
"How do you light this?"
Luo Xiyun put down the water glass in his hand and said slowly: "Thoughts, if you really have the ability, the spirit exploration cage will move with your heart." ”
After Xiao Fei understood, he was engrossed in his right hand carrying the lantern, trying to recall the process of Luo Feiyun lighting the spirit exploration cage in front of him at that time.
A moment later.
"......"
A faint dark red flame slowly rose in the spirit exploration cage, illuminating the walls of the cage.
"I'm here, did I succeed?!" Xiao Fei also saw a handful of dark red flames suspended in the spirit exploration cage at this moment, but it was this distraction that the flames were extinguished again.
"Didn't Team Luo say last time that you couldn't light it up? Why is it so easy? Luo Xiyun was also curious at Xiao Fei at this time, with an excited face.
Xiao Fei didn't tell Luo Xiyun about the dream of signing a contract with his grandfather in his dream, but just explained: "I was too irritable last time, and I thought that Team Luo in your mouth was a fake doctor, so I didn't take it seriously. ”
"It's an impostor, but since you can light up the spirit detection cage, it proves that you have awakened into a new human, and I need to report to the above."
Xiao Fei heard that it seemed that he had a chance to join them, so he couldn't wait to ask, "Then do you have a way to treat my arm?" ”
Luo Xiyun shook his head, indicating that he didn't know, and then said: "If Team Luo says that if you can light up the spirit detection cage, you can cure it, then there should be a way." When I'm done, you can ask him personally. ”
Xiao Fei's mood at the moment is no less than half a point less than the excitement when the modeling agency wanted to sign him.
"Then why is the color of my flame different? Why am I dark red and you are crimson? ”
Luo Xiyun didn't want to say too much at this time, so he told Xiao Fei that when he saw Team Luo, Team Luo would tell him in person.
After that, Xiao Fei and Luo Xiyun walked out of the "Paper Lantern" tavern, and then scattered east and west.
Along the way, Xiao Fei lowered his head and cried while walking, maybe this is crying with joy.
"My arm is finally healed, Grandpa, thank you."
After returning home, his mother saw that Xiao Fei's mental state was exceptionally good, and she was also in a good mood, and felt that Xiao Fei, who had been cheerful and lively before, had returned.
After Xiao Fei ate the supper made by his mother, he went back to his room to rest, and decided to go to the "Styx Street" tonight to thank his grandfather.
