"Come with me. Granny Ma opened the trapdoor with the key, and led Mu Wan'er and her son down the wooden ladder in the trunk.

The wooden ladder is very long, and there are many wooden stones of different sizes on both sides of the ladder, which shine like a little starlight in the dark trunk, making people feel as if they are in the vast galaxy, which is quite charming and beautiful.

They silently did not know how long they climbed, until a large circle of light appeared under their feet, and after a while, they fell through the circle to the ground.

It is a very large stone chamber with a circular shape. Surrounded by stone walls, there are bookshelves more than three meters high, filled with countless books and rows of bottles and cans, and dense tree roots hanging from the stone chamber cover the top of the bookshelf.

These roots are even more spectacular than its branches and leaves, and the gray-brown roots, twisted together like twisted flowers, are both like an inexhaustible python totem and like a giant hand, holding the stone house tightly in its hands. The roots of the trees are covered with light green woodstones of various sizes and the "scabs" that remain after they fall off. Some of the wood and light stones everywhere have lost their luster, but many more still emit a warm light, illuminating the entire stone chamber.

Granny Ma's stone room was full of items, and she could still find things from it, Mu Zilei thought it was a miracle. In addition to the bookshelves embedded in the stone walls, books are piled high on tables and chairs, astrological charts are hung on the walls, maps are scattered on straw mats, and paper, quill and inkwell can be found everywhere.

"This is my library, and as you can see, it's under the roots of this big tree. As she spoke, Granny Ma led Mu Zilei and them towards the long stone table in the middle of the stone room.

Granny Koma your eyes ...... Before Mu Zilei could say the words in his heart, Granny Ma's voice had already reached his ears.

"Books, you don't have to look through your eyes, I'm sure you'll know it in the future," she said, pointing to a strange set of iron bars and planks on the stone table, "This is a set of straightening and immobilizing your body that I have made for you in the past three days, so that your body can be straightened, I call it a wooden leg band, and now wear it to see." ”

"Wooden leg hoops, made for me?" Granny Ma's words made Mu Zilei surprised and delighted. He couldn't wait to put on the wooden leg band with the assistance of Mu Wan'er, only to see that his feet were fixed by many wooden planks and iron bars, between the planks and the iron bars, there were as many as dozens of movable joints between the iron bars, and near the end of the thigh, there were two taut wide ligaments connecting his shoulders.

"Now let's take a look. Granny Ma said after adjusting the tightness of those ligaments.

When Mu Zilei heard this, he began to try to walk, and every step he took was accompanied by a clicking sound. Although the wooden leg band was cumbersome, it did not diminish his excitement in the slightest, because it was the first time in twelve years that he had walked upright.

"I believe that with this wooden leg hoop, your body will gradually recover, right? Xiao Lei," Mu Wan'er on the side said,

"Hmm!" Mu Zilei nodded vigorously, and then he stumbled to the ground amid Mu Wan'er's exclamation.

"Thank you, Granny Ma," Mu Zilei said, and he got back on his feet with Mu Wan'er's support, "It's really a little uncomfortable, I feel that my legs are pulled tightly, and it is quite difficult." ”

"Well, this wooden leg band needs the support of your extraordinary legs to straighten your bent back," said Granny Ma, "Your legs are very strong, I have never seen such a powerful one, and you impressed me in that competition three days ago, and it also triggered my idea to make this wooden leg band." ”

"Unfortunately, I didn't make it to the top five and get a place in the Bacon Academy. Mu Zilei said bitterly.

"That's why you want to go to Bacon Academy?" asked Granny Marne.

"Well, because there's a good chance there's a clue to my dad. Mu Zilei then told Granny Ma the letter from the Bacon School.

"Even at the risk of your life, are you going to leave Stone Village to find your father?" said Granny Ma after a moment of silence.

"Hmm!" Mu Zilei's immature face had a determined expression.

"I understand," said Granny Ma, her voice almost whispering at this time, as if she was saying to Mu Zilei, and as if talking to herself, "maybe this is an opportunity......

Suddenly, there was a silence, and Granny Ma, who was still talking a moment ago, lowered her head without warning, and actually fell asleep standing like this. Mu Wan'er and Mu Zilei looked at each other, and at this moment, a hoarse voice came out of Granny Ma's mouth, and the voice said: "One flower, one world, one pure land, one thought and one quiet." ”

"I seem to have taken another nap," said Granny Ma, who awoke and her voice returned to normal, as abrupt as if she had just fallen asleep, "I remember that I have something urgent to do, and I hope you have a good time here today." ”

Mu Wan'er and Mu Zilei stared wide-eyed, they didn't expect Granny Ma to be so weird and abnormal, she suddenly talked in her dreams, and then turned to the eviction order. So, they had to thank them again and again. I went up the wooden ladder.

"Mother, although I am grateful for all that Granny Ma has done to me, you have to admit that she is indeed a strange old woman. Before leaving the wooden house, Mu Zilei did not forget to take the four wooden stones placed on the wooden frame into his arms and take them away.

Coming out of the Titan Ancient Forest, the people along the road never stopped looking at Mu Zilei, and they all looked curiously at the strange new "wooden shoes" on Mu Zilei's body, which was too conspicuous for the thin Mu Zilei.

"Xiao Lei, don't care about other people's eyes, these shoes will take you all over the Atlas Continent, they are the treasure shoes given to you by Granny Ma. Mu Wan'er shook Mu Zilei's hand tightly and said to him.

At this time, not far ahead, village chief Shi Youdao and some villagers happened to say goodbye to Gu Xiaolan.

"Do you want to go over and say goodbye to that Teacher Gu?" asked Mu Wan'er.

Mu Zilei shook his head silently, he only then remembered that Gu Xiaolan stayed in the village to teach for three days after the village exam, it seems that I have really missed a lot of things in the past few days when I am in a coma, he sighed lightly, and followed Mu Wan'er to another way.

Gu Xiaolan's gaze crossed Shi Youdao's shoulders, and she inadvertently saw the figure of Mu Zilei's mother and son leaving from a distance, she always felt in her heart for some reason that she would soon meet this child who was constantly surprising but unfortunately lost his name to Sun Shan.

After she said goodbye to Shi Youdao and them, she walked straight to the east of the village alone, and an old figure stood at the entrance of the village in front of her.

"Granny Ma," Gu Xiaolan's face was surprised, "Why are you here?"

"Child, I have something to ask you," Granny Ma handed her a heavy letter in her hand, "I hope you will hand over this letter of mine to your cousin......

In the blink of an eye, almost a month has passed since the day of the village exam, and during this time, Mu Zilei and the others have made final preparations to go to the Bacon Academy to follow the clues of the letter. On the day they were about to pack their bags and prepare to leave, the visit of village chief Shi Youdao completely disrupted their plans.

"Sister-in-law Mu, good news, good ......" Shi Youdao said as soon as he entered the door, "Huh, how did you pack your bags?"

"We're going to go on a long trip. Shi Lan and Mu Li glanced at him, then ignored him anymore, and only Mu Wan'er spoke.

"Where are you going to travel at this time?" Shi Youdao asked.

"It's none of your business, Shi Fatty, let it go if you have a fart, don't you see that we are busy?" Shi Lan said unceremoniously, but Shi Youdao didn't care at all, but piled up a smiling face. Mu Zilei was puzzled by this, Shi Youdao seemed to have always been respectful to his grandfather and grandmother.

"We're going to Bacon Academy. Mu Wan'er replied, she was still thinking about Shi Youdao's accommodation and help to her when Mu Zilei registered for the village exam last time.

"You guys are so well informed!" Shi Youdao exclaimed, but he immediately noticed that something was wrong, "No, no, this is just one person enrolled in the Bacon Academy, why did your whole family go so many days in advance?"

Mu Wan'er was stunned, and everyone else stopped and looked at Shi Youdao.

"Shi Fatzi, do you want to make it clear?Who wants to enroll in the Bacon Academy?" Shi Langu asked busily.

"You don't know, I thought you received the news in advance and were preparing," Shi Youdao looked surprised, and then he took out a letter from his arms, the tree root pattern printed on the letter was quite eye-catching, he said, "This is the Bacon Academy through the Wind Gallop Bird, I just received the ......." ”

Shi Lan impatiently snatched the letter from his hand, and after only one glance, her original purple face became even redder, and Mu Li and Mu Wan'er hurriedly surrounded her.

"The gods are above!" Mu Wan'er covered her mouth, she was so surprised that she couldn't speak.

"Mother, what is the letter about?" Mu Zilei tried to jump, but he couldn't find a little space to peek.

The three adults looked at each other, as if they had completely forgotten that Mu Zilei was still in the room.

"I want to read that letter," Mu Zilei was very anxious, "is that letter for me?"

"That's the admission letter from the Bacon Academy," this time Shi Youdao said in front of the others, "Divine favor, Mu Zilei, you have been admitted to the Bacon Academy!"
