"Oh, just go." After hearing the boy's message, the master put down the wine bowl, wiped his mouth, and answered the boy casually.
After the young man finished speaking, he turned around and left. It is doubtful whether he heard what my master said. He was really arrogant.
The Great Wizard of Daxing looked at the Master with some worry, but the Master glanced at the Great Wizard of Daxing, then stood up drunkenly, and said: "What are you worried about? If you haven't been punished for your good deeds until now, I didn’t specifically ask you to go, which means that Great Witch Bu Deng has decided not to argue with you.”
"Whether the Great Witch Bu Deng is arguing with me or punishing me, I don't care about Mr. Jiang. I'm just worried that no matter what the outcome is, you must not get excited. You will never accept weakness in your life. But the Great Witch Bu Deng was a strong man when he was young. You are so stubborn that even ten oxen can't bring back the master he has decided on, you." Daxing Dasha inevitably said a few words when talking about this.
But the master just looked at him with a smile and did not answer. It was not until he saw that Daxing Dasha had no intention of ending, that he patted his shoulder and said: "You and I have been friends for so many years, and you think I want to be here." Is it damaged? Don’t worry."
While Master was talking, I stood up, took a few sips of hot soup to relieve my hangover, patted my clothes, and prepared to go with Master.
Without thinking about it, Master pushed me to the table and sat down, saying, "Chengyi, I just want to go alone this time."
"Master" I don't understand what master means.
But Master looked at me, with a kind of persistence in his eyes that would never give in. Then he didn’t say anything, he just patted me on the shoulder, turned around and left.
I looked at Master’s leaving figure, picked up the wine bowl, and didn’t move it for a long time. However, Daxing Great Witch urged me: “Chengyi, are you really not going?”
I took a sip of wine, put down the wine bowl, picked up a chopstick of food, stuffed it into my mouth and said: "No need to go, Master has already made up his mind, he wants to go to see the great witch Budeng alone. I think There are some things he can’t say in front of me because he doesn’t want me to know.”
"You know? When did he say such a thing to you?" Daxing Dasha felt strange. Maybe he couldn't understand the tacit understanding between me and the master.
"Haha, I just know it. Daxing Great Witch, I will accompany you until you get drunk." As I spoke, I raised the wine bowl, and I felt strangely calm in my heart. This kind of calmness was something I knew Master would not have. any danger.
But in this peaceful calm, I was carrying a trace of sadness. As for why I was sad, I didn’t know, and I didn’t say anything. I just wanted to get drunk——
Dividing line——
I said I was going to get drunk, and I got really drunk. The rice wine was sweet and gentle, but the aftertaste was extremely long-lasting. My last memory of this drunkenness was that I collapsed in the lobby, and then I Nothing is known.
The next day, I was woken up by Master gently wiping my face. When I opened my eyes, I saw Master's calm and kind eyes, and a handkerchief with just the right temperature was wiped on my face. Takes away a bit of the heaviness of the drunken brain.
I have said that Master is rarely so tender. I often wonder if his tenderness often waits until late at night and when I fall asleep, and then he looks at my sleeping face and occasionally shows a little bit of it.
However, today he was so gentle again, I even wondered if I was hallucinating after drinking.
"Are you awake?" Seeing that I opened my eyes, Master put a handkerchief on my face, and the loving eyes in his eyes also faded away. It's always so awkward to become calm.
I complained secretly in my heart, then wiped my face with the handkerchief, and sat up with a heavy head. After this movement, I knew that what I saw just now was indeed real, and I didn’t know that Master and the divination yesterday What exactly did Deng Dasha say in the conversation, and what stimulation did he receive to make him act like this suddenly?
"Master, how was your conversation with the Great Witch Budeng yesterday?" Actually, I really wanted to know why Master was like this, but when the words came to my lips, they turned into this.
There are some trivial things that I can't talk about, let alone ask. The long-term relationship between Master and I has also determined that Master and I will not pursue any topics of tenderness. That's it, I missed some things that I knew in advance. Some things were possible, but how could a person see the future clearly at that time?
"The result is very good. He will let Qiangzi go down the mountain. And because of Qiangzi, he will send people to escort us all the way to the snow-capped mountains." The master stood by the window and was loading dry tobacco leaves at this time. He answered very directly, But I can't tell anything from his face.Such joy, as if all this is natural.
"Really? Master, what price do we need to pay? Is this such a good thing?" But I was very excited. What could be better than this result? After coming out of Zhulin Xiaozhu, my master and I almost lived on the run for more than a month. This time, not only could we achieve our original goal, but we could also get rid of such a life. How could I not be happy?
"What can I lie to you? Of course it's true. We don't need to pay anything?" Master lit the cigarette. The early morning sunlight hit the side of Master's face standing by the window, making his outline a little blurry. I squinted. He couldn't see his expression clearly with his eyes closed.
"Then Master, what did you say to the great witch Budeng? Can he give such a condition?" I don't know why, but I am full of doubts.
"It's nothing. I analyzed some situations and told him. As for protecting us all the way to the snow-capped mountains, it's because the hadrons want to follow us, so they naturally have to protect our safety." Smoke came out of the master's nose and mouth. , his tone became more and more calm, as if this was just an unusually ordinary thing.
However, judging from my short contact with the Great Witch Buden, this will definitely not be an easy task. The Great Witch Buden has a weird temper. The Great Witch of Daxing also commented that the Great Witch Buden is a strong and stubborn person. people.
Perhaps seeing that I still wanted to ask more questions, Master added another explanation: "Anyway, don't think too much about it this time. The people from Zuwu Shiba Village will escort us to the junction point of the Snow Mountain Range first. Then we will Where are you waiting for Qiangzi? How much hidden strength is there in the Snow Mountain Line? No one knows except the people of the Snow Mountain Line. Because it is unknown, no force dares to provoke the Snow Mountain Line. If it is at the junction of the Snow Mountain Line If we wait for Hadron, there will be a lot less things to do.”
"Then the hadron won't go with us first?" I asked subconsciously.
"Well, it will be good for him to give him some more time." The master ended the conversation with such a simple sentence, and then talked to me about some things. After having breakfast at Daxing Dawu, , someone came to our door and said they wanted to escort us down the mountain——
Dividing line——
A sect, no matter what form it is, whether it is an orthodox sect, an ethnic group, or even a family, should never underestimate the things they hide.
When Master and I were taken down the mountain, we were still blindfolded, but we clearly felt that we were not walking the same path as when we went up the mountain. I even judged from the unique underground smell that we had been traveling underground. .
We don’t know the specific time, but people have a general sense of time. In short, I think it took at least 5 hours to travel, and it was still faster than walking on horseback.
I was just thinking, if these underground secret passages were not natural like the Snake Gate secret passage but were artificial, how big of a project would it be? It is the accumulation of many generations.
"Master and I don't know where the person who takes us down the mountain will take us, and where our destination will be when we go down the mountain?" Because we were not in such a hurry when we went up the mountain, we finally went down the mountain after stopping and walking and taking enough rest. When the blindfold was taken off, it was early morning again, which meant that we traveled for a day and a night before going down the mountain. , and the place where he settled was no longer that small town, but a strange, seemingly uninhabited suburb.
After we got here, the 3 or 4 people who escorted us down the mountain stopped with their horses. One of them spoke better Chinese, and he was the one who occasionally chatted with us on the way. He said to us: "This should be It’s safe, at least no one will come here to trouble you. Just wait here, and it won’t be long before the person who handles you will come looking for you.”
After saying that, these people handed over my and Master’s luggage to us, without leaving any more words, they took the horses and left.
This makes me sigh, is the behavior of the eighteenth generation of ancestral witches really "mysterious"?
There was no other way, so Master and I could only wait at the foot of the mountain with dense bushes and weeds. Within half an hour, a burst of chaotic footsteps appeared nearby.
