In the blink of an eye, it was winter, and Master had been away for two years, and it was already the twelfth lunar month when he came back.
Heavy snow covered the small city, and the cold wind pierced through the heart. Everyone wants to lie in a warm bed and is unwilling to go out. But today Xiao Mi and I got up early, did not do morning lessons, and did not learn boxing kung fu from Uncle Guo. Because Guo Zishu is going to take us to pick up Master and the others today.
Wrapped in a thick jacket, I pushed open the courtyard door and stepped on the thick snow, feeling unspeakably happy in my heart.
Whether two years is long or short, Guo Zishu said that my progress is very fast and I am a good seedling. My ability to draw talismans has also become more and more proficient, and I have learned some simple Taoism. I have already memorized the Daoist secret record left by my master backwards, but the meaning in it is obscure and difficult to understand, and I can't understand many places.
Now that Master is back, I have too many questions to ask him.
The end of the new year is approaching, and the streets are bustling with activity. I no longer have the freshness I felt when I first came to the city. To put it bluntly, in fact, the city is not as good as our village. Although the mountain roads in our Jiangwu Village are difficult to walk, there are beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the villagers are simple and enthusiastic. All kinds of fruit trees are planted in the courtyards of every household, and they can go to the small river to touch loaches in their free time. This kind of life is free and very leisurely.
There is no need to run around for life, because every family has fields and can be self-sufficient. With the progress of the times and the development of society, the life of the villagers has gradually become prosperous.
I miss it very much, I miss everything in Jiangwu Village.
Looking at the dazzling array of goods in front of the small stalls on the street, I thought of many years ago, when I was only five or six years old, my mother took me and my brothers to beg for a living, let alone buy these things for fun , Didn't even eat a full meal.
If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't live on anymore, my mother wouldn't be willing to let me be a child bride-in-law of someone else's family.
Fortunately, everything passed quickly.
Xiao Mi held a bunch of candied haws and looked around while eating. Suddenly several familiar figures came down from the minibus, and Xiao Mi rushed over immediately, pulled the sorceress and said with some tears: "Auntie, you are back, Xiao Mi misses you so much!"
Xiao Mi said that since she was sensible, she has never been separated from the witch, so it is no wonder that she misses the witch. This time, if they hadn't left in a hurry, Xiao Mi would have tried everything possible to go with them, but unfortunately there was no chance.
I stood in front of Master and looked at Master. He was still in the black tunic suit, but his face was a little haggard, and there were some sparse stubbles at the corners of his mouth.
Master touched my head, "Little Jin, heh, he has grown up and grown taller!"
I also laughed, I don’t know if it’s because I’ve grown up, I don’t like to cry anymore, and I don’t feel afraid of those things. Probably the more exposure, the more immune.
But when I saw Master and heard what Master said to me, my eyes were sore and unbearable. In fact, I didn't spend much time with Master, but when I left home, Master was my only relative.
What's more, Master, saved me again and again, and I am sincerely grateful for this kindness.
"When you grow up, you can't cry anymore. Don't forget what Master said to you!" Master pointed to the small wooden plaque on my chest and said.
I understood what Master meant, he was reminding me about Su Muyan. I nodded immediately, and tried my best to hold back my tears, not letting them flow out. Then inadvertently glanced sideways at the sorceress.
Only at this glance did I realize that the sorceress' complexion was much darker than that of two years ago, and the wrinkles on her face were deeper. His legs and feet, which used to be fairly good at walking, are not very good now, and he needs to walk with a cane. With silver hair all over her head and a thin body, there is always a feeling that her life is about to reach the end.
I was startled suddenly, and asked in a low voice, "Master, is she a witch?"
Master shook his head, "There are some things that cannot be avoided, it's all fate! Let's talk about it when we go back!"
Master didn't continue this topic, I looked at the sorceress quietly, she rarely smiled and talked to Xiao Mi, I suddenly understood a sentence, when people are about to die, they always want to keep some good memories.
I didn't bother Xiao Mi and the witch, maybe they don't have much time to spend together.
A group of people got into the car and drove to the compound in a ostentatious manner. Everyone came back, but Uncle Heiying was not seen. And among the group of people who came back, there was an unfamiliar face who was injured and remained unconscious. I guess he might be the little Zhang mentioned by Guo Zishu.
After everyone settled down in an orderly manner, they all went down to rest. Only Guo Zishu stayed in the master's room, closed the door, and glanced at me.
I naturally know that there are some things that I should not listen to. I stood up obediently, ready to leave. But the master stopped him, "Xiao Jin, don't go, just stay!"
Uncle Guo frowned, "Master Sun, Xiaojin is still young, so it's not appropriate for her to participate!"
"I don't want her to join the team, but this time, she must be there. Guo Zi, I have already told Hei Ying about Xiao Jin. She will only help you once. In the future, you must not get her ideas."
The master's words were very serious, which made Guo Zishu a little astonished. After a while, he pushed his smiling face and said, "Master Sun, I understand. Don't worry, we will never make things difficult for Xiao Jin. As long as this matter can be resolved completely, We have nothing to worry about, and we will never disturb you in the future."
Master sighed and nodded, "Whether what you said counts or not, I will take it as Black Eagle's meaning. Xiao Jin, go and get my bag."
I hurried to the top of the cabinet and brought Master's black briefcase in front of Master.
Master took out something from the bag and handed it to Uncle Guo Zi. Uncle Guo opened the thing wrapped in kraft paper and looked at it, his face was livid. "Zhao Jie is so ruthless! Could it be that because of this, she didn't even care about Black Eagle's life?"
"It's not like you don't know what Zhao Jie does. This time, it's a lesson learned! Hei Ying stayed there and found someone to replace Zhao Jie, but that person is indeed not as good as Zhao Jie."
Guo Zishu was a little unhappy, and said coldly, "I don't believe it. There is no master in this world who is more powerful than Zhao Jie. Master Sun, you have many ways, and you can't find anyone?"
"Maybe there are many people who are more powerful than Zhao Jie, but I can say that no one in this world knows that place better than Zhao Jie. Her father died there back then, and Zhao Jie was only fifteen or sixteen years old at that time." , followed, and among those people, she was the only one who came out alive. If you want to go in, you have to ask her to lead the way."
"But this Zhao Jie, don't take hard things!"
"That's why we should find a way to get her to agree. Apart from us, that Japanese soldier, Ohno Jiro also wants to win her over. However, no matter how weird Zhao Jie's temper is, he probably won't cooperate with his father-killing enemy! Now , It depends on whether Black Hawk can do anything."
Guo Zishu got the news he wanted to know, and left after saying a few words, but I didn't understand anything, and I didn't know what Master had shown Guo Zishu.
Master sat down, and I poured him a cup of tea respectfully, "Master, do you have something to say?"
The master glanced at me, nodded and smiled, "You can teach me, but you have learned the ability to observe words and emotions. That's good, and you won't suffer in the future."
Master took a sip of hot tea and stared at the small wooden plaque on my chest, "It's been two years, Xiaojin! You have indeed improved a lot, even she is different after following you."
I looked down at the small wooden sign and asked, "Master, when will Su Muyan come back?"
"Soon! But it's up to you to come back! This time I'm coming back, just to ask you if you're ready!"
Prepare? I don't understand, "What are you going to do?"
"Are you ready to save her? Are you not afraid of death?"
I was stunned for a moment, speechless for a long while. die? I never thought about the question that I would die if I rescued Su Muyan. When Master suddenly asked me this question, I really didn't know how to answer it.
"Are you afraid?" Seeing that I hadn't spoken for a long time, Master asked.
I hurriedly shook my head, "It's a lie to say I'm not afraid, I don't want to lie to you! Master, I'm really afraid. But Su Muyan is not afraid of being wiped out because of me. Even if I die, I should try it!"
"Hehe, you know how to repay your kindness, good boy! The inheritance of our lineage is all benevolent and righteous people who are not afraid of life and death. You should see clearly what the current situation is. Because many times, people can't help themselves. And Master is now What you have done, the way you have walked, I hope you will never set foot on it!
One of the most important reasons why I came back this time is that I found something that can save Su Muyan, and you need to get this thing. However, don't worry, Master will never let you have trouble. "
Looking at Master's appearance, I feel that he is like a father. Always showing up in time to protect me when I was in danger. I've never met my dad because he was murdered when I was born, and I don't know what it's like to have a dad. But now, I am a teacher for a day and a father for life, and the master is my father.
My mother always told me that one must know how to be grateful. I am very grateful to Master for being kind to me, for everything Master taught me, and for taking me away from the small Jiangwu village to the city. Everything imaginable. I had nothing to repay this kindness, so I had to kneel on the ground and kowtow to Master.
This is the only thing I can think of right now, the only thing I can do.
