"Dad, you wait for me. Mu Zilei was in the dark, constantly chasing the only light in front of him, where a tall figure who couldn't see his face was smiling at Mu Zilei.

"Xiao Lei, come here. The figure said.

Mu Zilei excitedly ran towards the dream-haunting man, and when his little hand touched the figure, a high wall suddenly stretched out from the ground, separating the two of them on both sides of the wall.

"I said, if you want to win against me, you can only dream!" came the grim voice of Lin Dumb from the high wall.

Mu Zilei looked at the wall that was stretching higher and higher, standing alone and helpless in the dark......

"Dad!" Mu Zilei woke up and found himself lying on a bed, his shout attracting the family members sitting around the stone table in the room.

"Xiao Lei, you've finally woken up," Mu Wan'er, who looked haggard, gently wiped away the cold sweat from his head with pity, "It's just a dream." ”

"Xiao Lei, we're worried about you," Shi Lan next to her said, "You have slept for three days and three nights." ”

"Three days and three nights?" Mu Zilei was startled and immediately sat up, "Isn't the village exam already over? What happened to the result of the competition between me and Lin Dumb? Did I beat him?"

"Come, old man. Shi Lan touched Mu Li behind her with her elbow.

"Ahem......" Mu Li looked embarrassed, "Xiao Lei, ahem...... Xiao Lei ......"

"Really, it's all a word of confusion," Shi Lan said, "I'll tell you, Xiao Lei...... Let the old man tell you. Once again, she threw the hot taro to her wife.

"Dad, mother, let me tell Xiao Lei. Mu Wan'er's words made the two old men feel relieved.

"What's wrong?" Mu Zilei noticed that something was wrong and asked hurriedly.

"Xiao Lei, that's the case," Mu Wan'er said softly, "In the competition between you and Lin Dumb, one of the two people was knocked out of the stage, and the other fell to the ground, and they were first judged to be a tie at that time." ”

"Tie, then can we enroll in the Bacon Academy at the same time?" Mu Zilei hurriedly said, "Or do we have to choose another game to try again?"

"No, in the end, the thirteen village chiefs on the bench followed the old practice and voted to decide the winner," Mu Wan'er shook her head and said with pity, "The result of the vote is that Lin Dumb voted six votes against you with seven votes, and you finally fell to Sun Shan by one vote." ”

"I still lost in the end. Mu Zilei whispered, his disappointment beyond words.

"Don't worry, we've already discussed, although we haven't gotten a place to enroll, we can go by ourselves," Mu Li interjected, "When Xiao Lei and you rest for a few more days, we will move our family to Bacon Academy to find your father." ”

"Hmm!" Mu Zilei nodded vigorously, he suddenly touched his stomach and exclaimed, "That piece of jade is still in my body!"

"Don't worry, your piece of jade has been taken out with the help of Granny Ma, and even the final result of the comparison test was told to us that day," Mu Wan'er said, "Don't do such a dangerous thing in the future, after all, that piece of jade is not simple." ”

"Granny Ma?" Mu Zilei said with a strange expression, "Is it the weird mother-in-law who appeared on the bench during the village exam, lived in the Titan Forest, and often made some terrifying so-called disaster prophecies to scare people?"

"Don't say that, Granny Ma is a respected matchmaker, a great benefactor of Stone Village, and she doesn't even know how many times she has saved us. In my mother's opinion, she is still an amiable old man. Her name was also chosen by her......" Mu Wan'er's words were interrupted.

"Mother, I know, you've said it a hundred and one times, but I also remember clearly that she was also the crow's mouth who predicted that I was a disaster star when I was born, and this time it was good, she didn't make ominous predictions to me, but directly brought me the bad news of losing the competition. Mu Zilei has been under the title of "Disaster Star" since he was a child, and he has been subjected to many white eyes in the village, and the "March of the Disaster Star" composed by Shi Chisha has spread throughout the fourteen villages in the Stone Belt, so he has always hated this Ma Po.

"Xiao Lei, I don't allow you to say that about Granny Ma," Mu Wan'er looked serious, "The prophecy of the Disaster Star is not about Granny Ma, although she made that prophecy on the night you were born, she never said that you are the "Disaster Star" referred to in her prophecy, but the villagers have always misunderstood. Prophecy is prophecy, misunderstanding is misunderstanding, and a man should dare to face his own gossip head-on. ”

"This time, thanks to Granny Ma, you were rescued. Mu Wan'er's tone changed, and her expression became very solemn, "We ...... at that time."

With Mu Wan'er's words, Mu Zilei's mind gradually spelled out the scene after the competition that day.

At that time, when Mu Li returned home with Mu Zilei in his arms, his condition was already quite critical, not only did his body become extremely hot, but his stomach was still expanding, at first, Mu Li and Shi Lan tried to put spiritual power into Mu Zilei's body, hoping to force the jade out through spiritual power, but this method did not work.

The expansion has not stopped, and the body temperature has been soaring, in a hurry, Mu Li turned out a knife, under the nervous gaze of Shi Lan and Mu Wan'er, he cut a shocking scar on Mu Zilei's stomach, but before he could reach in and take out the jade, the scar healed quickly in the blink of an eye, and after the original bulging speed slowed down at this moment, the revenge surname rose at a faster speed, and the body temperature soared instantly, and some water vapor even began to evaporate from Mu Zilei's body.

Mu Wan'er was so anxious that she was about to cry, and at this time of crisis, the savior came.

As soon as Granny Ma entered the door, she went straight to Mu Zilei's bed without saying a word, although she was blind, she was able to accurately put a hand glowing with turquoise light on Mu Zilei's belly that was about to burst, and after a while, Mu Zilei's body began to stop expanding, and his body temperature stabilized, his eyebrows began to shake constantly, and his belly gradually revealed the shape of the drop jade.

The jade seemed to be being pulled and slowly moved upwards with Granny Ma's palm, and finally stopped at Mu Zilei's throat. When Granny Ma put her hand into his throat and took out the piece of jade, Mu Zilei's body began to return to normal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his body temperature dropped sharply.

"All right," said Granny Ma to Mu Wan'er, "let him sleep for a few days, and he will wake up." ”

"Thank you for saving my son's life. Mu Wan'er, who threw herself on the side of the bed to check, said gratefully.

"It's no wonder that there is such a stone in the stomach, and it is not a disease. Granny Ma held up the drop of jade and said, her eyes still closed, but it gave people a strange feeling that "she can see better than anyone else".

"Come, take it back and leave it for Zilei as a souvenir. As she spoke, she handed the piece of jade, which now looked unremarkable, to Mu Wan'er.

"Granny Ma, this is ......" Mu Wan'er took the jade, she hesitated to tell Granny Ma about the magical jade.

"Don't talk about that, I'm a little tired right now and want to go back and rest. Granny Ma said with a tired face, as if she had consumed a lot of energy when she saved Mu Zilei just now.

"I'll send you out," Mu Wan'er just wanted to help Granny Ma up, "Granny Ma, your hair ......"

At this time, Mu Li and Shi Lan both noticed that at least a third of Granny Ma's long black and shiny hair suddenly turned white in an instant.

"Don't care, child," said Granny Ma nonchalantly, "when you get old, you always need some gray hair." ”

After Mu Wan'er helped Granny Ma out of the door, Shi Lan and Mu Li looked at each other, from each other's eyes, they both saw each other's surprise, and they thought of one thing at the same time, that is, this Granny Ma was far more mysterious than they imagined.

After listening to the ins and outs of the whole thing that Mu Wan'er said, Mu Zilei's original prejudice and dislike for Granny Ma disappeared without a trace, and instead he was full of infinite gratitude to this kind and kind old woman.

"So, does the blind Granny Ma still think that drop jade taken out of my stomach is a stone?" Mu Zilei couldn't cry or laugh when he thought of this.

"It should be," Mu Wan'er suddenly remembered something, "By the way, when Granny Ma said goodbye to me that day, she also told me that when you woke up, you would go to her house to look for her, and she said that she had a gift for you." ”

"Then we'll go over right now," Mu Zilei hurriedly got out of bed, but after a few steps, he almost fell to the ground softly, Mu Li hurriedly supported him, he touched his shriveled stomach, "It seems that before I go, I have to eat a full stomach, I'm almost hungry now." Mother, you said that if I swallow that piece of jade again, will my swollen stomach be able to eat more?"

"Xiao Lei!" Mu Wan'er and Shi Lan exclaimed at the same time, and then, the sound of their family's laughter came from the room.
