Every day in the cave, Yusheng kept trying to remember, but he remembered nothing but the song that seemed familiar and distant. And the master always came at noon to bring him food for the day. In the past few days, the master's face was always solemn and pale, Yusheng knew in his heart: the little junior sister has not improved, he wants to ask the master, but he is afraid of arousing the master's worries, he also wanted to sneak out quietly to see the situation of the senior sister, but he is afraid that the master will be suspicious and displeased, so he can only silently stay in the cave and wait for the arrival of the master, and guess from the master's expression.

Later, for more than ten days, it was Aunt Li from a neighboring village who came to deliver the food, and she told Yusheng that Mr. Bai had gone out, saying that he was going to some mountain to ask for medicine, and she couldn't remember the name of the mountain, so she came to help. From Aunt Li's mouth, Yusheng knew that the little junior sister had woken up, but she was in a daze, and the senior sister washed her face with tears every day. Aunt Li sighed as she spoke: "What a poor child, he was so cute and cute, but now he is ......, it's really unfortunate, you say, how could such a good person as Mr. Bai encounter such a thing!" Alas......". At this time, Yusheng's heart was like a knife, he hated himself for harming Granny Gu because of his recklessness, and he became the master's apprentice but hurt his junior sister, maybe he was really a criminal person....... He whispered silently, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault." ”

After Aunt Li left, Yusheng was left alone in the dark, his heart seemed to be swallowed by the flames of hell, the scorching heat, the oppression made him feel that a pair of ruthless hands were suffocating him, and many ghostly faces seemed to suddenly appear around him looking at him, among these faces, he seemed to see Granny Gu's appearance when she died, she cried and walked towards him, accusing him of killing her and her grandson. All the fantasies made Yusheng feel that his chest was about to split, he kept scratching his hair, as if trying to break free from everything, he stumbled out of the cave, and before he knew it, he came to the edge of a mountain cliff, he still seemed to see those strange things still following him, it was daytime, but he saw the flames burning around him, and the imps danced around him, and kept chanting around him: You are the root of sin...... you are the root of sin, you are the root of sin.......

At this time, Yusheng couldn't bear it anymore, no one seemed to know his loneliness and helplessness in this cold world, but the cliff in front of him seemed to have become a door to happiness and carefree heaven, and he smiled and slammed down. As he fell, he felt a cool breeze with the scent of flowers gently blowing on his face, as if a white object was flying towards him and caught him. What a gentle embrace, what a mother's feeling, what a sweet dream! He couldn't help but shout softly, "Mother...... Mother.......".

When Yusheng woke up, he found himself lying on the bed in the cave again. Did I have a terrible dream just now? But soon he denied his absurd conjecture, for, in the dim light of the cave, stood a woman in white, dressed plainly, but whose tenderness and beauty could be seen in her back. Yusheng suddenly had an incomparably happy feeling, and his heart was pounding, wasn't this the one who saved him? His voice trembled due to excitement, and he asked eagerly, "Did you save me?" Are you my mother? ”

I only heard a voice reply coldly: "Who is your mother, that slut ......"

Yusheng's heart was suddenly cold, and even extremely disappointed, and at the same time, he couldn't help but tremble, because he realized that the woman standing in front of him was not his mother, and he said timidly: "It's Shi Niang...... Saved my ....... ”

Madam Bai turned around suddenly, looked at Yusheng hatefully, gritted her teeth and said, "I...... I...... Why should I save you, I ...... I .......I really want to kill you, kill, kill you, woo......"

At this time, Madame Bai collapsed beside the dilapidated wooden table, buried her head in her elbows, and wept desolately, it was evident that during this time her patience had reached its limit, and the vulnerability she could not show in front of her family was all vented at this time. Her cry was so sad, it seemed that she was the only one in this world, and that kind of wail in loneliness was incomprehensible to Yusheng, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of sourness. He stared blankly at his sad teacher, not knowing whether to comfort her or not, how to comfort her? He just silently prayed for the master's return, but how could this be.

After a while, Madame Bai's cry turned into a low sob, and Yusheng said tremblingly: "Senior Lady, I really didn't give my junior sister flowers, I didn't want to harm my junior sister, I really ......." ”

Madame Bai lifted her pale and tear-stained face, sighed, and said coldly, "Your master has already told me this." After saying this, Madame Bai fell into deep memories, and suddenly the silence in the cave was terrifying.

I don't know how long it took, Madame Bai sighed and regained her previous calm, she turned her back to Yusheng, as if she was afraid of seeing something that made her lose her temper again, and said slowly: "You have been poisoned by miasma, and you have hallucinations, I have helped you solve it, I have put a book of internal strength on the table, this is what your master asked me to give you, there is how to resist poisonous gas, you can take a good look." With that, Madame Bai got up and was about to leave.

At this time, Yusheng could no longer suppress the call in his heart, and he blurted out, "Does Shi Niang know my mother?" Who is she? Where is she? ”。

If Yusheng said this to Madame Bai, he would probably see Madame Bai's pale face suddenly distorted, she kept trembling, trying to restrain herself, and her cold and sharp voice betrayed her heart, only to hear her say: "Your mother is a beautiful and evil woman, an evil witch who will make all men lose their minds, she is a member of the Red Fire Sect, you ask her where she is, hum, she was burned to death, in front of everyone............ so, as soon as I see you, I feel disgusted, Why, Zhengbo and I have only lived a few quiet days for a few years, why, you, you will appear in front of us again! ”

Yusheng was stunned by her words, and his mind went blank: her mother was dead, and the beautiful and kind dream in her heart was shattered, ...... was she really an evil person? Are you sure? Just when he was at a loss, he only heard Madame Bai say to him in a commanding tone: "I hope I never see you in the bamboo house again!" ”

I don't know how long Madame Bai has been gone, I don't know when the sky is bright, Yusheng's mind is full of Shi Niang's words. He didn't know if it was right or wrong, he didn't have any memory of him before in Xiangyun Town, why not, he didn't know ....... For a twelve-year-old, life is so hard. When he was in Xiangyun Town, as a beggar, he was always abandoned in a cold corner, always looking for life-sustaining food in the dirty streets, always being awakened by the statues in the broken temple on a thunderstorm, and always looking for self-esteem ...... in spitting, but, no matter what, when he was injured, he could always hear the gentle voice in his dreams: "The white lotus picks the red glow, the child sleeps in the arms of the mother, pats the bamboo basket bed, and the world is better than the Taoyuan ......." And now, the dream seems to be shattered, and it seems that he has been picked up from the original sea of suffering, touched the honey, and cruelly thrown into the sea of fire to be roasted and burned. He felt pain all over his body, groggy and unconscious.

In his blurred vision, something occasionally shook in front of his eyes, flickering and dimming, and something seemed to brush his face, and then he seemed to feel that he was buried in the earth. I don't know how long it took, but Yusheng finally opened her eyes and saw everything around her clearly. It turned out that the shadow was actually Xiao Hei, and it looked at him with concern, and it was obvious that it had been here for days, and when it saw Yusheng wake up, it would lick him with its big tongue from time to time. And he was happy to accept its friendliness, which seemed to be the only thing he could be comforted with. He smiled at it and tried to pat it with his hand, only to find that he couldn't move and was buried in the soil of a dangling boulder, which seemed to be Blackie's special treatment for him. When he saw Yusheng trying to come out, Xiao Hei opened his mouth and bit Yusheng's neckline, and lifted him out.

At this time, Yusheng felt that his body was much more relaxed than before, but he was still weak. Xiao Hei seemed to know Yu Sheng better than anyone else, only to see it from not far away to pick up two hares and a pheasant, and touch Yu Sheng with his head, which reminded Yu Sheng of the scene of grabbing food with Xiao Hei in the broken temple at that time, how happy, how relaxed, at that moment between people and dogs is a natural and mutual trust emotion, which made his already cold heart warm up again, shake his spirits up, patted Xiao Hei, and said with a smile: "Go, Xiao Hei, let's go barbecue." Hei followed him excitedly and wagged his tail constantly. At this time, Xiao Hei is no longer the same as when he first arrived in the bamboo forest a year ago, it is even bigger. Reflecting the firelight, Yusheng and Xiao Hei happily ate these foods, and Yusheng looked at Xiao Darkness and thought: Isn't Xiao Hei also different from other dogs? Isn't it possible to live happily too? Why am I sad? I should also be happy, at least the master loves me, although the master seems to hate me very much, but didn't she also save my life? And the little sister, that's my cutest sister, can't I care for her anymore? No, I don't know what kind of people my parents used to be and what they did, but I want to be happy and cherish my present, I want to respect my master and sister, and love my sister very much, maybe this is compensation. Thinking of this, Yusheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and hope rekindled in her heart.

After a full meal, Yusheng reluctantly walked around the boulder, and only then did he really see the place clearly. It turned out that the boulder where he was lying was a cliff, and a hundred meters below the cliff was a deep pool, and on the north side of it flowed a spectacular waterfall, and the column of water rushing down like a huge white dragon rushed straight down, splashing a faint mist, and making a roar. Yusheng has never seen such a large deep pool, and with dense trees growing around it, and you can hear the cries of animals from time to time, this place is like a paradise. All this made Yusheng forget the sadness in his heart for a while, and he continued to look around curiously. Suddenly, Hei bit the sleeve of Yusheng's shirt and motioned for Yusheng to ride on its back, and Yusheng obeyed. Xiao Hei was like the master, excitedly holding Yusheng and running to the top of the mountain. When they reached the top of the mountain, Yusheng was surprised to find that this piece of paradise was actually in the depths of the belly of the strange rocky mountain behind the Shuyi Bamboo Forest, and this strange landscape may not have even been seen by the master. Standing on the top of this steep mountain, Yusheng suddenly had an indescribable sense of pleasure, the world is so big, everything around it seems to have become so small, nothing matters. Standing here, Yusheng felt the condescending pleasure for the first time, it was like flying freely on the top of the mountain, and a trace of reverie suddenly appeared in Yusheng's heart: if his whole life could be accompanied by such happiness, how good it would be!

Seeing Yusheng so attached to the scenery of the top of the mountain, Xiao Hei also quietly accompanied him, until the golden glow disappeared into the sky and the sky turned dark blue, Yusheng reluctantly went down the mountain with Xiao Hei. As night fell, Hei and Yu Sheng found a nice cave in a mountain area next to the waterfall, and because her body was still very weak, Yu Sheng quickly fell asleep, while Xiao Hei faithfully guarded his side.

In the belly of the mountain, Yusheng rested for more than ten days, and the mood was also soothed a lot, every day and Xiao Hei happily went to the lake to touch the fish, climbed the tree to pick wild fruits, Yusheng also vividly named this fairyland "Stone Scene". After more than ten days, Yusheng's body fully recovered, and from time to time he reviewed the knowledge taught by the master in his heart.
