The next day, Jin Luohua went out to the desert again, and before leaving, he told Su'er to take good care of Lin Duan, and this time it was likely that he would not be able to return in a few days. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Xu'er agreed, but some thoughts did not belong, I always thought about the cuttlefish without saying goodbye, and thought of my sister's innocent tragic death, the sadness was difficult to let go, and at night, I couldn't sleep at all, so I simply got out of bed in my clothes, and wanted to light a candle and read a few pages of a storybook to talk about it as a pastime. Walking under the east window, I couldn't help but look up at the old locust tree outside the window again. The bare branches stretched to the sky, and the half-moon leaned on it, and the eyes were cold and desolate.

She looked at it for a moment, then reached for the candle on the cupboard, when a small figure flashed outside the window. She couldn't help but be stunned, every cell in her body was vigilant, she looked out the window with her eyes wide open, and by the half-bright moonlight, she found that a child was running towards the old locust tree, and a little black dog was followed a few steps behind the child, and it looked clumsy when he ran and shook.

It's the young master! What is he doing outside in the middle of the night? Su'er was afraid that something would happen to him again, so she immediately wanted to go out to stop it, but then she saw Lin Dui stop under the old locust tree, raised her face and whispered to the bare trunk, "Uncle, are you here?" Although her voice was soft, she couldn't hide it from her ears in this quiet night. The uncle in Lin Du's mouth should be a cuttlefish, it turned out that he came out in the middle of the night to find a cuttlefish.

But the cuttlefish is gone, and the bare branches of the old locust tree are unobstructed, and I am afraid that I can't even hide a bird, let alone a person? Probably because he said that he might still be there during the day, the young master would go out to look for him, and he didn't know what he wanted to do. So Su'er didn't make a sound for the time being, and continued to quietly observe the movement outside.

Lin Du circled around the old locust tree a few times. The trunk was thick enough for three or four people to hug, and he wrapped himself like a bear cub that he couldn't climb up no matter how he looked at it. However, he had prepared a long rope with two long shells tied to one end. He stood under the tree and threw the end of the shell to the lowest branch, and the shell fell over the branch, and the rope was firmly attached to the branch. He pulled both ends of the rope in his hand and pulled it hard, then he kicked the trunk of the tree with his two feet, and began to climb up the tree along the rope.

This move startled Xu'er, this is too dangerous, what should I do if I fall down? But she was about to go out to pull Lin Du back, but she saw a figure suddenly flash under the frost-white moonlight, because the speed was too fast, and she didn't see the appearance clearly, she only knew that it was an adult. Who is that? Could it be a cuttlefish? A long-lost excitement surged in Xu'er's heart, and the ghost made her mind dispelled, and she dispelled the idea of going out to stop the young master for a while.

The trunk of the old locust tree is very rough, and the bark is cracked out of large openings, which are easy to settle down, so the bear child climbs quite easily, but the two little hands are too tender, and it hurts a little by the rope. The black bean stared at the owner under the tree, but he couldn't climb the tree, so he could only scratch the bark with his two front paws. Lin Du turned around and made a silent gesture to it, and said softly: "You are not a cat, it is impossible to climb up, wait obediently below, don't move, if you wake up Sister Xu'er, your bones will be in the soup tomorrow." ”

Su'er was embarrassed for a while.

Black Bean didn't know if he understood Lin Dui's words, so he stopped scratching the bark and began to circle around the old locust tree. Lin Du continued his feat of conquering the old tree, and soon he stood on the first branch, and while looking for a foothold to continue climbing, he asked softly, "Uncle, where are you, uncle?"

In the hazy moonlight, countless dry branches were black and swarthy, and there was no movement at all. At this time, it was a few meters above the ground, and a gust of night wind blew, and it slammed into Lin Dui's clothes along his neck, so cold that he couldn't help but shudder. His face was frozen, and his hands were cold and painful, but he held on to a branch and climbed a few more steps up a higher branch. Then he looked up and carefully looked at each branch of each trunk, and he thought that his uncle must have been transformed into the shape of a branch by some kind of astral magic, and he wanted to distinguish it carefully. The moonlight shone on his black jewel-like eyes, and his slightly frowning brow showed great seriousness.

But after half an hour, there was no harvest at all, and every trunk looked like a real one. Could it be that the weather is too cold, so my uncle is gone? But Sister Su'er is still bringing him food, and she clearly says that he is still here.

Lin Du rubbed his eyes vigorously, and endured the cold and searched for a while, but he still didn't find it. He really felt very unwilling. It's easy to wait until my mother is not at home, and it's easy to climb so high, but I can't just return in vain. He found a safe position to lean on the branch, soothed his frozen little hand with his mouth, and said to himself while continuing to observe the movement on the tree: "Uncle, why have you been staying in the tree, will it be very cold? Do you want me to get you a leather jacket? You can't freeze, if you get sick, Sister Su'er will be sad...... Sister Su'er and I both like my uncle very much, especially Sister Su'er, she prepares something for you to eat every day, why don't you refuse to eat? If you don't eat, Sister Su'er will be in a bad mood and depressed every day. ”

At this time, Lin Du climbed a little higher, and through the window, she could only see that his mouth seemed to be moving, but she could no longer hear what he was saying. It looks like he's chatting with a cuttlefish, but is that person really a cuttlefish just now, and now he's hidden in the trees?

Lin Dui's fragmented thoughts didn't seem to have any effect, he still didn't notice any movement in any branch, but he was not discouraged, and continued to speak to the bare branches: "I know that my uncle is a cultivator, and he can disguise himself as a branch and hide it in a tree, it must be very powerful. But if you hang on the tree like this every day, won't you delay your practice? There is no way to meditate on the tree, and there used to be many, many leaves that would still block the light, and my uncle could still practice so much...... Uncle, do you have any special ways to practice without meditating?"

Lin Du went around and around, but still turned the topic around to cultivation. He was so cold that he shivered from the cold, and he had to ask his questions and requests earlier. This question has been bothering him for a long time. He found that the cultivators around him did not meditate every day like him, and while he sat for ten hours, his mother did not meditate much, let alone the cuttlefish that were on the tree all day. Aren't they continuing to practice? At such a young age, with unlimited potential, no one would give up their cultivation, right? So Lin Duan doubted that they had a way to practice without meditating.

Since there is such a way, why doesn't his mother tell himself? Lin Du already felt that his mother was no longer actively teaching him to practice, and he was willing to teach before, but he only had the idea of making him happy, right? But his mother never taught, and Lin Du was always careful for fear that his mother would find out the truth of his cultivation, so he didn't dare to take the initiative to ask. He knew that meditating like this would sooner or later arouse his mother's suspicions, not to mention that he couldn't sit all day long, and there were many, many things to do, such as protecting Yue'er, such as accompanying black beans to go shopping, and he also wanted to plant a lot of flowers to make flower essences, how could he do it when he spent all his time sitting stupidly? He thought about it, so he had to climb to the old locust tree while his mother was not at home, and ask this wood-like uncle for advice.

"Uncle, can you tell me? I know, this must be a very important secret, don't worry, I won't leak it to others. I don't have the qualifications to practice myself, so I can't learn it, I'm just curious, and I want to know. ”

Lin Du said that he was tired, said that he was cold, said that he was hungry, and did not move this piece of wood. He looked down with a bitter little face, as if it was quite high from the ground, and he stuck out his tongue in fright. He knew he had to go down, or his hands would be really frozen and he wouldn't be able to hold on to the rope. With a slap on his lips again, he got up and began to crawl down, without forgetting to say two goodbye words: "Uncle, I'm leaving, you have a good rest." I'll see you again tomorrow. ”

A few minutes later, Lin Dui slid down the trunk of a tree like a little stupid bear, and almost stepped on the black beans that were shaking their heads and tails and making love. He shuddered and grabbed the rope, curled his body into a ball, and trotted all the way back to the small building.

Su'er hid in the house and peeped for a long time, and she didn't see any eyebrows, but seeing that the young master was talking there for a long time, it was as if the cuttlefish was still on the old locust tree, thinking of the figure she saw before, she felt more and more that the cuttlefish was back. After staring at the old locust tree for a while, she suddenly felt a little tired, and gently touched back to the bed, and soon fell into a sweet sleep.

The next night, Su'er turned off the lights early, lay on the bed and remembered the scene last night, and began to toss and turn again, tossing and turning until midnight, she got up again and touched the east window, but saw that the young master was under the tree again and was ready to climb the tree. Is the cuttlefish really back? What are he and the young master doing sneaking in? But don't freeze the young master. Although she thought so, she still didn't go out to stop it.

Lin Du wrapped himself in two more laps this time, and put on all the thick clothes he could wear, and he was so tired and out of breath that he went downstairs, and he was already sweating profusely before he even walked under the tree. Bent down to pick up the rope on the ground, but couldn't bend down even when his face was purple, and raised his legs to kick the old bark, but found that his legs couldn't bend at all. You can't climb a tree. He realized the seriousness of the problem, and ran back to the building with difficulty, but he couldn't climb the stairs to go back to his bedroom, so he had to sit on the stairs and go down one by one with a leather jacket, sweater, cotton pants, woolen pants, and finally went upstairs with a stack of thick clothes.

Su'er was wondering why the young master didn't climb the tree again, but suddenly found that the figure on the street corner flickered, and a person walked out, although he couldn't see the specific appearance, but he was not as slender and thin as a cuttlefish, but like a burly middle-aged man. Su'er's heart suddenly rose to her throat. (To be continued.) )
