The cold wind was blowing outside the window, and the charcoal fire in the room was crackling. Converging in the air, with a sense of intensity. There was already a layer of mist on the glass, I sat up wrapped in a thick quilt, took a cup of hot water from Master, and took a sip. In an instant, I felt my whole body warm up.
Xiaobai sat at the end of the bed, propped himself up, and looked at me with his head tilted.
With a creak, Chen Laosan opened the door and came in from the outside, his body covered with a layer of snow white. He patted the snow on his body, looked at me with a sigh of relief, and said to me, "Oh, girl Xiaojin is awake!"
Master nodded, "Well, I just woke up!"
"Hey, you girl is really lucky. Here, the hare you just caught in the mountains can be added to dinner tonight." Chen Laosan said, lifting the fat hare in his hand and shaking it at me twice.
The winter in southern Anhui is really cold. Although the snow outside is not as heavy as that in the north, for those who were born and raised in the south, this is the most tormenting time of the year.
The mountains are blocked by heavy snow, food and drink must be prepared in advance, otherwise this winter will be very sad.
I looked out the window, it was already midnight, at this point in Jiangwu Village, every house was already smoked. But now, a path outside the window was blocked by heavy snow. The sky was gloomy, and I couldn't see if the people next door had a fire for cooking. My head was still a little unconscious, and I sat on the bed in a daze.
It took a long time to recover.
I touched the small wooden sign on my chest, and sure enough there was no white jade pendant. Whether that thing didn't exist, or was snatched away, whether all this was a dream, I can hardly tell.
"Master!" As soon as I opened my mouth, I felt that it was so difficult to say a word, as if someone was strangling my neck, it hurt and I felt dry. Then it caused a series of coughing sounds, which couldn't be stopped.
Master patted my back and said softly, "You just woke up, don't talk, get a good rest first."
"Master, why am I here? Aren't we in the cave in Fudu Mountain? I saw, I saw a lot of gold under the coffin, and Guo Zishu turned into a zombie, and he wants to strangle me." Said After I finished, I immediately touched my neck, and I could still feel the pain vaguely.
Master touched my somewhat messy hair with distress, "Well, it's all because of belladonna. This thing originally grew in some places in Europe. I didn't expect there to be such a plant under the coffin. And the number is huge. The belladonna It is highly toxic, and if inhaled too much, it will seriously affect the central nervous system and cause people to have hallucinations. Before, everyone's memory stayed on zombies, so you have such hallucinations.
Not just you, everyone is the same. Guo Zi also thought you were a zombie, so he shot you. "
Master said, staring at my neck, a little angry, "Guo Zi's attack is indeed ruthless, does it still hurt? It will take two days for this handprint to return. Fortunately, there is Lao Chen. This time I have to It’s not because of Old Chen, we’re probably going to kill each other and die down there. But you, thank you, Xiaobai.”
"Xiaobai?" Hearing me call it's name, Xiaobai rushed into my arms, I stroked its fluffy head, and it immediately found a more comfortable position to lie in my arms, enjoying me very much. touch.
"That's right! At that time, we were all confused by the poison of belladonna. The movement below also aroused the vigilance of Lao Chen who stayed above. Fortunately, Lao Chen knew belladonna, and immediately understood that we were poisoned. I had hallucinations. After Lao Chen went down, he carried us up one by one, and finally you and Guo Zi were left.
At that time, Guo Zi was indeed pinching your neck, Lao Chen was exhausted, and he didn't have the strength to break Guo Zi's hand for a while. If Xiaobai hadn't jumped down, hugged Guo Zi's head, and scratched wildly, he probably wouldn't let go. "Speaking of this, the master couldn't help but smiled, "This time, your Uncle Guo also suffered a big loss. His face was covered with bruises from being caught by Xiaobai. I don't think it will take ten days and a half months to heal. "
Xiaobai groaned twice in my arms, as if announcing its heroic performance at the time.
I was a little worried for Guo Zishu. Although my neck still hurts, but thinking of Guo Zishu's scars all over his face, I think it won't go away for a while.
"We were not deeply poisoned. After we were rescued by Mr. Chen, we were fine after a short rest. Afterwards, everyone was worried that the poisonous gas would spread out, so they sealed the coffin. But you are too young, and you have been here the longest , inhaled too much poisonous gas, so he was unconscious for a long time."
I nodded, but I always felt something was wrong in my heart. There should be someone else under that coffin. When Uncle Guo and I were both poisoned, who was that zombie that rushed over
According to what Master said, the only ones left at that time were me and Uncle Guo, and there would be no one else. But who is that zombie who snatched my blood soul jade
I was a little annoyed, annoyed that I was poisoned at the time, so I didn't know what that person looked like. I bowed my head and felt a little uncomfortable. Without the white jade pendant, the blood soul jade is incomplete, so Su Muyan will not be able to come back either.
"Master, someone snatched my white jade pendant." I whispered more and more, and in the end, my eyes were also red. It's not that I want to cry, it's that I'm angry at myself for being too useless.
The master touched my head, took out a piece of red cloth from his arms, opened the white jade pendant wrapped in the red cloth and handed it to me, "No, here it is! This is what Lao Chen picked up at your feet, it should be It was dropped by accident! It’s empty down there, no one else, how could you snatch your things! Maybe it’s because you’ve been poisoned the most, that’s why you’ve had a series of hallucinations. Master can’t explain it, and Master was also poisoned.”
When I saw the white jade pendant, my heart was finally relieved. Thinking of Master's words, I also felt that there was no falsehood. If there was someone else, Uncle Chen must know.
I took the white jade pendant and put it together with the small wooden plaque around my neck, "Master, is the gold inside there real?"
"Hehe, you little girl, are you still thinking about gold?"
I chuckled, "Master, haven't I seen so much gold before, I'm just curious!"
"There is no treasure in this world. The gold is just stones that have been coated with gold powder. Because everyone has been poisoned by belladonna, they mistakenly think that those are treasures of peace. There is no treasure in this world. What! Hei Ying and I felt something was wrong at the beginning, but we didn’t expect that there were no monsters and ghosts down there, but instead we were fascinated by belladonna and had hallucinations. Hey, fortunately, everyone is fine this time!”
I hugged Xiaobai, stroked its soft hair, suddenly remembered, and asked again, "By the way, Master, why didn't you see Uncle Heiying and the others?"
"Hei Ying and Guo Zi went back first with their people. There are some things that must be reported. The witch also returned to the city in advance because of her health. You have been in a coma, so we will stay temporarily. Wait for your health to recover Some, we have to go back to the city."
"Is Master Uncle okay?"
"Whether there is anything is God's will. She insists on this, so who can blame! Xiaojin, there are some things that you don't understand, and you will understand when you grow up. This child Xiao Mi has a hard life, and you are her senior sister." , you have to take care of her more in the future, we, Xue Banshan, only have you two juniors left."
Hearing what Master said, I felt inexplicably sad. I know that the witch's situation is not optimistic, and I also know that Xiao Mi must be very sad. Go back, her mother is in the basement in that yard.
Not being able to meet and recognize one's own mother is actually the cruelest thing for a child. I couldn't continue this topic, so I had to change the subject and ask, "Master, now that I have the Blood Soul Jade, will Su Muyan be fine?"
Master nodded, "This blood soul jade is a sacred object of our lineage, which has the effect of condensing the soul. So, don't worry! Su Muyan will be fine, but it will take some time and your own efforts. "
The master said that this blood soul jade was originally a piece of jade congealed by the founder of our lineage with his own painstaking efforts. what. But this thing can absorb the soul, and the white jade pendant can nourish the soul.
The preciousness of this blood soul jade lies in this, allowing the soul to re-condense and last forever in the world.
After death, the soul should return to where it should go. Those who linger in the world are those who are unwilling, or those whose wishes have not been fulfilled. The souls of these people will not always exist in the world. Once the grudges are over, there will be nothing worth nostalgic for, and the souls will naturally disperse.
For people like Su Muyan, the time has come and it is time to leave.
Blood Soul Jade can save her, re-condense her soul, and nourish her soul so that it will not dissipate. In addition to co-existing with my soul, my special physique just happened to protect her soul.
As for Xiao Mi's mother, Master said that her soul was not scattered, but was controlled by others and could not return to her physical body. So the blood soul jade has absolutely no effect on Xiao Mi's mother.
If you want to save her, you must get her soul back. Other than that, there is no other way.
But Xiao Mi's mother's soul was taken by that mysterious organization, and it would not be so easy to get it back. What Master is most afraid of is that the mysterious organization wants to use this as a threat.
The sorceress and Xiao Mi's mother are like sisters, and they exhausted their energy in order to save Xiao Mi's mother. Now the witch is overdrawing her own life, and her time is numbered.
Although the witch is always unsmiling, she is my uncle and Xiao Mi's aunt after all. I also feel sorry and sad for her.
This time, when the sorceress returns, she may also be sent to the capital for treatment, and her life will be prolonged by medicine.
I looked at the blood soul jade, this thing is useless to me, but it is very important to Su Muyan. Although Su Muyan's soul was scattered, fortunately, there was still a trace of remnant soul left in the small wooden sign.
Now that I have the Blood Soul Jade, I firmly believe that Su Muyan will be fine!
