I was stunned for a moment, not understanding what the village chief meant. When I wanted to ask again, he had already taken his wife away.
The adoptive father looked back at me and said softly: "Alian, can you tell me now what happened to you?"
Facing my adoptive father's probing eyes, I knew I could no longer shirk it, so I said truthfully: "Dad, the white snake birthmark on my body has woken up!"
I clearly felt his body shaking slightly. The adoptive father had always known about the existence of the birthmark, and he probably also knew that there would be problems with this birthmark.
Then he sighed softly: "What is supposed to come will come, and you can't escape after all!"
"Dad, what's going on? Who should come?" Now it was my turn to not understand. All along, I thought that my adoptive father was just an ordinary village doctor and did not believe in these supernatural events. But now it seems that I wrong.
My adoptive father always knew what the white snake birthmark meant. Maybe he also guessed that there might be a dispute between me and this birthmark.
At this time, Bai Zimo was still sitting on the window sill, but his half-lidded eyes had been opened.
I remember Bai Zimo once said that some of his memories were confused.
Therefore, he must also want to know what my adoptive father knows now.
The adoptive father looked at me deeply: "Alian, did he do anything to you when he woke up?"
My face turned red as my adoptive father asked if he was too straightforward. Thinking of Bai Zimo's good deeds last night, my heart started beating fast.
I couldn't help but glance at him. He was pretending to be dead on the window sill with a faint smile on his lips.
"No, Dad, what do you think this white snake birthmark is about?" I didn't have the nerve to answer his question just now, so I could only pretend to be stupid.
The adoptive father shook his head, as if he was lost in some memories.
"When I picked you up, a wandering warlock once said that the origin of the white snake birthmark on your body is not simple, and I'm afraid there will be disaster in the future, but I can't bear to let you still fend for yourself in your infancy, so I brought you here Yunjia Village, I didn’t expect that this white snake birthmark would really bring disaster to you!”
I admit that what happened to me recently was all because of Bai Zimo, but I feel that these disasters were not caused by him.
"Dad, do you know something?" I asked puzzledly.
"When you were in a coma at Aya's house, Wang Lexin told me when he sent you back that his master told you that if you wake up and everything goes as usual, you will be fine. If you wake up and something strange happens in the village, it means that the white snake sealed on your body has come out! "
The adoptive father said, pointing to the basket next to him: "What you did just now was also taught to you by White Snake, right?"
No wonder my adoptive father was not surprised at all when I was in a coma for more than a month. It turned out that he understood what I was going through.
And he also knew that White Snake would wake up.
Therefore, when the villagers wanted to get rid of the white snake on my body, they wanted me to leave quickly.
He must have thought that when White Snake wakes up and leaves my body, the villagers will not deal with me anymore.
It's a pity that the villagers were controlled by the black shadow at that time, and the bloody scene was staged in front of him.
In the past few days, he has refrained from asking me about White Snake, perhaps waiting for me to tell him personally.
I really wanted to know what my adoptive father's attitude was towards Bai Zimo, so I asked tentatively: "Dad, since Master Mu and the others know that there is something wrong with the white snake birthmark on my body, why don't they deal with it and take Aya away instead? Do they just want to take away Aya?" Aren’t you afraid that the white snake will wake up and harm people?”
The adoptive father shook his head: "I don't know about this. I only care about your safety. As long as no one hurts you, I don't care about other things!"
His implication should be that if Bai Zimo didn't hurt me, it would be acceptable.
I looked at Bai Zimo, wanting him to show up and tell my adoptive father not to worry about me.
But Bai Zimo shook his head: "I can't appear in front of people now to avoid causing trouble to you!"
I thought it right. If my adoptive father knew that Bai Zimo, a snake, had turned into a man and followed me around all day long, and even slept with me, he would probably jump with anger.
"Dad, don't worry, no one can hurt me in the future!" I pointed to my collarbone: "He will protect me!"
The adoptive father nodded silently and asked softly: "Aren't you afraid of this white snake?"
I nodded slowly.
I used to be afraid, and I thought of many ways to get rid of this birthmark, but now, I'm not afraid anymore.
The adoptive father looked around subconsciously, and finally gave up: "I don't know if he is here and can hear us. I'm just worried about you. If he wakes up from you, he must be inextricably related to you. I am afraid, afraid that he will eventually..."
I quickly interrupted him: "Dad, no, besides you, I have nothing to lose in this world. As long as you are good, I will be good!"
The adoptive father finally nodded: "Well, if anything happens in the future, we will face it together. Just like you said, no matter how difficult it is, it's nothing more than this!"
My adoptive father and I tidied up the yard together, washed the pots and dishes, and tidied them up.
I wanted to ask my adoptive father where these things came from so that I could help him move them back together.
As a result, my adoptive father said to me: "Alian, don't worry about what the village chief said. This is not something you can do. While the people in the village still remember your kindness, hurry up and pack your things and go to Jiangcheng as soon as possible!"
As he spoke, he put all the bowls into the big pot, picked up the pot with both hands and walked into the back room.
Naturally, I want to go to Jiangcheng as soon as possible, but I haven't figured out the matter about Bai Zimo yet.
Besides, I was not willing to leave my adoptive father alone so early, so I caught up with him and said, "Dad, let me help you carry it. It's not urgent to go to school. Didn't we go to town to take pictures before? This hasn't been finished yet." Well, why don’t we go again tomorrow!”
As soon as I stretched out my hand, my adoptive father stepped aside.
He whispered to me: "Okay, I don't need your help. You should deal with the basket of snakes in the yard first, lest they come out to harm us again! There will be many opportunities to take pictures. You can go to Jiangcheng tomorrow."
I was filled with doubts. Why did my adoptive father avoid me when packing my things, and why did he deliberately instruct me to deal with the little black snake?
I always feel like there's something wrong, but I can't figure out what the problem is.
In order not to let him see it, I nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go right away!"
I pretended to go out to the yard, and then when he walked toward the back of the house, I followed him quietly.
At this time, Bai Zimo grabbed me and said, "You will be easily discovered if you go, I'll go take a look!"
I stared at Bai Zimo for a moment. This guy was very thoughtful and could not be seen by his adoptive father. He was indeed more suitable than me to follow him. I then said to him: "Then don't hide anything you see from me. Don't say a word about it." Fake!"
I don't know why, but I always have a bad feeling in my heart. I always feel that my adoptive father is hiding something from me.
"I know, I really admire you. What's the point of caring about a few broken bowls? Why do you have to go and see where they are put!"
After he finished speaking, he probably disappeared in a flash because he was afraid that I would retaliate against him again.
I couldn't help but shake my head. In fact, I didn't understand why I suddenly cared about this.
I walked into the yard while thinking about it, but when I got there, I was immediately dumbfounded. The basket containing the black snakes had fallen to the ground, the sealing cloth had been lifted, and all the little black snakes inside were gone.
How is this going?
Who came in just now? Who will take away those little black snakes?
The first thing I thought of was Liu Yiran. This guy was the Black Snake. He probably had compassion for his own kind and let them go.
But thinking deeper, I felt that it couldn't be him. If he really cared about these little black snakes, they wouldn't have disappeared for no reason just now.
And he also knew where these black snakes came from. If they were not dealt with properly, trouble would definitely occur.
Not so confused.
Who else could it be?
Is the rockery god making a comeback, or is the black energy that robbed Bai Zimo Neidan at work?
What do they want to do by letting these little black snakes go?
Are we going to control the villagers again?
Thinking of this, I hurried back to the house and walked towards the backyard. I had to tell Bai Zimo about this.
This time I can't let myself be harmed by the black shadow again.
But when I walked to the back of the house, he and my adoptive father were nowhere to be seen.
The backyard of my house is not very wide, and it is only less than 20 meters away from the mountain behind, so you can see it clearly at a glance.
There was a utility room in the backyard. I walked there and took a look inside. It was pitch black and I couldn't see anything. I shouted several times, but my adoptive father didn't answer, and I suddenly felt nervous.
How could such a large living person suddenly disappear? Is it possible that I can pack my things and go to the mountains?
I have never been up this back mountain before, and it is so steep that it doesn’t look like it can be climbed from here.
The more I thought about it, the more I became afraid. I was worried that something bad would happen to my adoptive father.
However, at this moment, I saw a dark shadow flashing quickly from the side, and the wind blew my hair, and the chill hit me again.
Something must have happened.
But wherever his eyes went, there was peace.
I walked in the direction where the black shadow flashed just now, and saw a black shadow coming out of my room again. I quickly chased after him and shouted, "Who is it? What are you doing sneakily?"
Unexpectedly, the black shadow stopped. Although it was just a black shadow, I felt a full malice from him.
Then, a voice that sounded like it came from hell came: "How dare a mere ant stop me and seek death?"
I have seen the fight between the rockery god and Bai Zimo, and I know that these shadows are not easy to mess with.
But he suddenly appeared, and at this time his adoptive father and Bai Zimo disappeared for no reason, so they suspected that he had done something.
I don’t know where the courage came from, and I yelled at him: “Come to me if you have any problem, don’t attack my family!”
"You?" He said in a very disdainful tone: "Oh, that's right. You were the great hero back then. Without you, it would have been impossible to seal the White Snake. It's a pity that you can't distinguish between ourselves and the enemy now, and there is no cure! "
I don't understand what the black shadow means, what does sealing the white snake have to do with me.
And it’s impossible for me to trust a dark figure who doesn’t even dare to show his true face.
This kind of shady thing can sow discord.
"You don't have to bewitch me. Tell me, what did you do to my dad?" I said as I took out the peach stone pendant that Aya gave me from my pocket and threw it towards the black shadow.
There are runes on the peach core. It was able to suppress Liu Yiran and Bai Zimo before, so it might be effective against this weird guy.
But I underestimated Sombra's ability.
When Taohe touched him, nothing happened.
He just snorted softly, and then flew far away, leaving behind a sentence: "Sooner or later you will know the truth, and you will pay the price for your actions!"
