All of a sudden, all the strange things disappeared, and so did the white ape. The entire second basement was once again plunged into darkness. I hugged Xiao Mi and patted her on the back to make her feel a little more relaxed.
"Are you feeling better? Don't be afraid, Senior Sister is here."
Xiao Mi nodded in my arms, feeling the fear and tension that a child should have.
But now we have to find a way to get out as soon as possible. I don't know when those things will come out again. I don't have the purple talisman anymore, in case Xiao Mi gets entangled, I know very well that I can't protect her.
"Xiao Mi, do you have any more matches?"
Xiao Mi took out a match from her pocket for a while, then handed the match to my hand, and I struck a match. Immediately, Xiao Mi's face came into my eyes, it was red, and the eye circles were also red, but this time it was crying.
"Where are the candles?" I asked.
"Candle?" Xiao Mi looked around on the ground, "Hey, why is it missing?"
Suddenly, the little white ape ran straight to my shoulder from nowhere, and stretched out its little paws in front of me with a candle. I took the candle and lit it, Xiao Mi rubbed his eyes, and looked at the little white monkey curiously, "This little guy seems to like you very much, look at his eyes, they are big and bright."
Xiao Mi reached out and touched its head, but the little white ape crawled into my arms in fright, holding my neck tightly with both hands, but did not let go. I think it might be that Xiao Mi's appearance just now scared this little guy, and then he thought it was funny, this beast is just like a human being, once bitten by a snake for ten years, he is afraid of well ropes!
Thinking of the rope, I suddenly had an idea, "Xiao Mi, do you have any rope?"
Xiao Mi searched in the small cloth bag close to her body, "Yes, here you are!"
The ground on the second basement floor was wet. I squeezed the mud on the ground, pressed one end of the red rope to the ground, and pulled out a long, long piece. Then I held the candle in one hand and Xiao Mi in the other, sitting on my shoulders. With a little white ape.
Behind is the branch road, then the front is the exit. As long as we work hard, we will be able to get out.
I walked forward with Xiao Mi confidently for a long time, the candle in my hand was already half burned, but there was still no exit. I turned around and looked at my feet, and there were circles of red ropes in front of me.
I was completely desperate. After walking for so long, I didn't expect to stop at the same place.
"Senior sister, are we unable to get out?" When Xiao Mi asked this, there was a bit of regret in his eyes, and the little white ape also stared at me, his eyes full of expectation, waiting for my answer.
I smiled against my will, "Don't worry, as long as we are still alive, there is hope. Besides, we have been away for so long, Master and the others will definitely find out. Maybe they will find us soon!"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true! Although you always play tricks on me, I won't lie to you."
Xiao Mi was stunned, then hugged my arm tightly, "Senior Sister, I will never play tricks on you again. I promise!"
"Oh, that's great! You have to keep your word, or you'll be a puppy."
I pretended to be relaxed and joking, but time tends to tear all the pretense of people to pieces, and confuse the firmness and hope of the forced pretending into a muddy mud. Then the facts are clearly placed in front of you, making you have to bow your head.
I was thinking desperately, but my stomach was still against me.
I didn't have breakfast in the morning. I'm so hungry that I don't have the energy and I don't want to talk. Every time I say a word, I feel more and more exhausted. My stomach kept rumbling, and I looked at Xiao Mi helplessly, "Are there any dates in your place?" I embarrassedly squeezed out such a sentence.
Xiao Mi shook her head, "The last few are for you."
"Hey!" I sighed deeply.
After that, the atmosphere was eerily quiet. Time passed by, I don't know how long it has passed, but neither of us spoke. Even if those things didn't kill us and scare us to death, I'm afraid I would starve to death early. The little white ape ignored the current situation and fell asleep in my arms. I stared at the candle in my hand, seeing that the last bar was left, and the light was about to go out soon.
I put the candle on the dirt floor next to it, because the candle oil dripped on my hands and it was really hot.
Suddenly, a muffled sound broke the silence. I stood up straight in fright, and instinctively pulled Xiao Mi to my side. Xiao Mi was also very scared, worried that those things would come back again.
The next moment, when a faint flashlight came on, my heart was completely relaxed.
"Master!"
Master looked at me, then at Xiao Mi, but said nothing.
The sorceress and Uncle Heiying also came, and Uncle Heiying stepped forward and asked, "Xiao Mi, Xiao Jin, are you all right! Are you hurt anywhere?"
I hurriedly shook my head, "It's okay, Uncle Heiying!"
The little white ape seemed to be somewhat resistant to Uncle Black Eagle's approach, jumped up, and plucked at my hair, I was really worried, it scratched my head.
The sorcerer was a little surprised when she heard the voice of the little white ape, "Hehe, senior brother, your apprentice is really not an ordinary person! This little thing and your apprentice are both negative things, no wonder they hit each other so well."
The master stared at the witch, but the witch was already blind, but she could still understand the master's intentions, so she immediately shut up and did not continue. I really want to know what is the cathode thing, but I dare not ask more.
After lunch, Xiao Mi and I knelt in front of the crowd and accepted the reprimand.
But what surprised me was that Xiao Mi took the initiative to admit his mistake.
"Uncle, Auntie, I asked my senior sister to accompany me down. It's none of my business! It's just that I didn't think that the bottom, the bottom is so dangerous." Xiao Mi said, lowering her head.
The witch said angrily, "How many times have I told you not to go to that building, why didn't you listen?"
The master also frowned, and added, "Xiao Mi, you almost died this time. If the little white snake hadn't found us, ten of you wouldn't be able to escape from that underground thing."
Xiao Mi's eyes were red with grievance, and both eyes were watery. She raised her head and asked stubbornly, "Auntie, is my mother down there? Why are you lying to me?"
The sorceress was startled, with an ugly expression on her face, "You, what nonsense are you talking about! How many times have I told you that your mother is already dead!"
"I'm not talking nonsense!" Xiao Mi took out the little white snake from her bosom, "It was raised by my mother, and it was also given to me by my mother, so it is naturally familiar with my mother's smell.
For so long, it has never taken the wrong way. But today I let it take me to find my aunt, but it took us to an extremely dangerous place, hehe, if my mother wasn't there, how could it be wrong? "
The sorceress suddenly stretched out her hand, and landed a crisp slap on Xiao Mi's face.
This slap completely blinded me, no matter how naughty my brothers and I were when we were young, my mother would not slap us. At most, grab our buttocks and slap them hard twice.
I saw that the right side of Xiao Mi's face was completely red and swollen, it can be seen that this slap was really hard.
The master hurriedly stopped the sorceress, "I don't blame Xiao Mi for this matter! You must keep it from her, but have you ever thought about how long you can keep it from her when mother and daughter are connected?"
Hearing Master's words, Xiao Mi was even more convinced, "Master, is my mother still alive?"
The master sighed, "Xiao Mi, some things are not what you think, and your aunt is doing it for your own good!"
Then he looked at the sorceress again, "Since you can't hide it anymore, it doesn't make any sense if you continue to hide it! You should think about it!" Then without further ado, he dragged me back to the room, leaving Xiao Mi and The two witches are in the hall.
When I arrived in Master's room, Master wiped the scratched skin on my arm for me, and I felt very guilty.
"Master, I'm sorry! I shouldn't be fooling around with Xiao Mi."
The master was not angry, but smiled and said, "Nonsense? Hehe, this is not nonsense, and it can be regarded as training you. I didn't expect that you could survive until we came. What a fate."
I scratched my head in embarrassment, "Actually, the talisman master gave me is the most powerful!"
The master's eyes widened, "Did you use that purple talisman to deal with those underground things?"
I nodded, "Well, the situation was urgent, so I just took it out."
"You, you are really, reckless! Forget it, those who don't know, I don't blame you for being a teacher. Remember this purple talisman, it is not comparable to ordinary yellow talismans. Its preciousness lies in the fact that the talisman drawer draws it with his own essence and blood. , I will teach you all of these in the future.”
But I didn't know that this spell was drawn for me when Master surrendered Fang Qihong and lost his primordial spirit. Because the master knew my special constitution, and before I finished my studies, I was worried that I would be remembered by those things and asked me to put them on my body to prevent disasters.
In fact, with this purple talisman, those things dare not approach. But I didn't know anything, so I took it out and dealt with the woman in the ground.
After a long time, I realized that for me, Master ignored my own body and branded the permanent root of the disease. The root cause of this disease cannot be cured, but it is a sharp knife that kills life.
If I knew, I would never let Master make such a big sacrifice for me.
But at this time, I just listened carefully to Master's words and obeyed Master's orders.
Master applied medicine to the broken skin for me, and then took out another gossip, "Keep this away, keep it close to your body, don't take it out casually. Be safe!"
I nodded and took it, and took a look. The gossip is not very big, I just hold it with one hand, but the old look of the gossip is very old-fashioned, as if it has been a few years old.
I put the gossip into my pocket and asked again, "Master, is Xiao Mi's mother really down there?"
Master obviously didn't expect me to ask this question, and was deep in memory, without saying a word for a long time. In the end, he just nodded lightly.
"Master, why didn't Uncle Master tell Xiao Mi where her mother is? Is it because her mother is crazy? When I was downstairs, I heard a woman's shout."
The master touched my head and said softly, "You are too young to understand some things! Xiao Mi is also unlucky, her parents died at a young age. Although your uncle has a weird temper, she I love Xiao Mi from the bottom of my heart. Master can only say that that woman is not Xiao Mi's mother."
I seemed to understand and nodded.
The master smiled, "By the way, in a few days, your uncle and I will go out for a trip, so you stay here and learn some boxing skills with Uncle Guo. In addition, I will also teach you some of our martial arts skills in the next few days." You have to master the most basic things of a branch as soon as possible."
When I thought that I could learn the master's skills, I was a little excited, and I forgot to ask Xiao Mi's mother.
"Master, do you want to start tomorrow?"
"Oh, so active? But, don't study for a few days and feel bored and be lazy!"
"No, I will definitely learn from Master!" I promised.
In the evening, when I returned to my room, I was so excited that I couldn’t fall asleep. I sat on the bed, covered with a quilt, with only one head exposed, watching the small wooden plaque on my chest glowing faintly, thinking happily, as long as I can learn from Master’s skills , I can protect the people I want to protect in the future.
Sitting next to me, the little white ape was also staring at my little wooden sign, tilting his head in confusion.
I patted it on the head, "Xiaobai, are you also happy for me? Haha, tomorrow I will be able to learn Taoism from Master. Next time I go back to Jiangwu Village, I must show my skills in front of Er Fatty.
When I left last time, I didn't have time to say goodbye to him. I don't know if he will be angry with me when we meet again next time? Tell me, will he be angry... "
