I really don't know how to answer the call. Do I have to tell my adoptive father that I can bear loneliness for Bai Zimo for the rest of my life?
He has raised me so big, not just because I can honor him and support him in his old age, but also because he wants to have family happiness. What can I bring to his old age?
Forget it, some things are better left unsaid.
Maybe in his mind, the white snake is just a birthmark on my body. I can get married, have children, and live my own life like a normal person with my birthmark.
Occasionally bringing his children back to visit him is his greatest joy.
In the past, I thought so too, but now, everything is different...
In order to relieve the annoyance in my heart, I whispered: "Dad, let's talk about the future later. I'm going to wash the dishes first!"
But my adoptive father quickly stopped me: "I'll wash the dishes, and I've packed up your things. There are classmates waiting for you at the entrance of the village, so I won't send them away. You go quickly!"
I nodded silently without saying anything more. I went back to the room, dragged my suitcase out, and bowed to my adoptive father: "Dad, I'll leave first. Please take care of yourself at home."
I turned around and burst into tears.
My adoptive father always expresses his love for me in his own way. There are no unnecessary words, but it makes me deeply moved.
I didn't dare to look back and strode out with my luggage.
Before leaving, I still have to go to the ancestral hall.
Some things must be clarified, otherwise I will not feel at ease when I leave.
However, as soon as I arrived at the door of the ancestral hall, I saw a small figure, which turned out to be Yun'er.
When she saw me, she ran over, hugged my legs and cried, "Master, just be okay. Yun'er has been worried all night, fearing that something will happen to you. When the time comes, Yun'er But what should I do!”
Looking at the crying child, I couldn't bear it. I slowly knelt down and wiped her tears and asked, "Yun'er, where were those dark shadows last night? Did they hurt you?"
Yun'er sniffed and looked at me with arrogance: "Master, those are just innocent souls. Those who can't hurt me have all been beaten away!"
I didn't expect Yun'er, a child, to be so powerful. He actually defeated so many innocent souls by himself. It really surprised me.
"Are you so powerful?" I couldn't help but ask.
But she shook her head: "I wasn't the one who ran away, it was an old Taoist priest. He suddenly appeared, so I found a place to hide. I didn't come out until everything calmed down!"
It seems that Yun'er is really a clever little guy, but I don't know who the old Taoist priest is?
Could it be Master Mu?
I had thought before that the things that happened in the village had human traces, and I suspected that Master Mu and the others did not leave Yunjia Village, but were secretly observing the movements somewhere.
He might even be the one who sealed Bai Zimo under the ancestral hall.
I really can’t guess what Master Mu’s intentions are with regard to Master Mu, whom I’ve only met once.
Now I am much more defensive than before.
If I see Wang Lexin later, I will have to get a hint from him.
I nodded slightly, remembering the reason why I came to the ancestral hall, and then asked: "Can you take me to get the box you mentioned yesterday?"
Because I heard the information in a daze last night, I wanted to confirm it from Yun'er first.
If the box is there, then maybe I just had some random dreams.
But if the box is gone, it means that the conversations I heard were probably not dreams.
I looked at Yuner expectantly, hoping to hear the latter from her.
But Yun'er looked at me very aggrievedly, her little face turned red from suppressing it, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at me: "Master, I don't know who stole the box!"
My heart sank, and my scalp suddenly felt numb. It turned out that what I heard last night was not a dream, but reality.
In other words, the conversation between the adoptive father and that person was also true.
But who is that person?
I frowned, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Seeing my silence, Yun'er might be afraid that I would blame her, so she even apologized in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Master, it's Yun'er who is useless. Yun'er didn't take good care of your most important things! I'm sorry..."
I know she can't be blamed for this matter. The box has been placed under the ancestral hall for thousands of years without any problems. But I unlocked the restriction last night and the box was lost. In the final analysis, it was me.
I don’t know what is in that box, and whether it will have any impact if lost, but it’s useless for me to think too much about this kind of thing, because I can’t control it anyway.
Not wanting to see her continue to cry and look sad, I quickly comforted: "It's a broken box, just throw it away. Don't be sad, just let nature take its course!"
The little guy raised his head and blinked at me: "Master, that's not a broken box. What's inside is Bai Zimo's reverse scale!"
What?
I was suddenly startled. I never thought that, in addition to hiding Bai Zimo's inner elixir, his reverse scale was also hidden under this ancestral hall. No wonder he said before that as long as I take him into the ancestral hall, he can give me freedom. .
It turned out that there was something so important to him.
Unfortunately, both things are now lost.
If Bai Zimo wakes up and finds out that I have lost his reverse scale, will he be furious?
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Did Ni Lin lose it after I released the restraint?" My voice was trembling at this time. I was very scared, afraid that my actions yesterday would harm Bai Zimo.
Yun'er nodded slightly.
It turns out that yesterday I used my blood to break the last layer of restrictions in the ancestral hall. While saving Bai Zimo, I also released the imprisoned souls.
The scene was chaotic for a while, but after all the innocent souls were taken away, Yun'er discovered that the box had disappeared.
She could only convey this information to me through magic power, but I was in a drowsy state and couldn't wake up at all.
So she has been waiting here for me.
"It's such a big deal, why didn't you go to my house to find me? If I don't come, what are you going to do?" I looked at her anxiously and asked in a deep voice.
"Master, I cannot leave the ancestral hall. This is my mission!" Yun'er glanced at me bitterly, but did not show any dissatisfaction.
I know that her mission must be related to the mountain god from thousands of years ago.
Now she recognizes me as her master, but I don't have the ability to free her, so I don't continue to ask. Since I can't help, there is no need to give her hope.
I probably told her something about what happened next, but apart from what she just said, she only told her that Yinhua’s soul was taken away by the old Taoist priest along with those wronged souls.
I don't know anything about other situations.
Now that the villagers have returned to normal, the shadow has disappeared, and Bai Zimo is sleeping, it's time for me to return to the normal track of life.
Since there is nothing Bai Zimo needs under the ancestral hall, there is no point in going in.
After telling Yun'er to practice well in the ancestral hall, I planned to turn around and leave with Bai Zimo's birthmark.
But Yun'er suddenly stopped me: "Master, Bai Zimo..."
I stopped and didn't want to miss anything about Bai Zimo. I looked back at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I just found out last night that Bai Zimo has done a lot for you. Maybe I blamed him wrongly before!" Yun'er blinked her smart eyes and looked at me aggrievedly, with a little bit of flattery.
I don't know what Bai Zimo has done for me, but I know that in my heart, he is the only person besides my adoptive father who cares about me!
I smiled at Yun'er: "I have never doubted him. Even if everyone in the world says he is wrong, I firmly believe that he is not wrong, and it is the people of the world who are wrong!"
"Master..." Yun'er wanted to say something else, but I didn't want to hear it anymore.
Since she didn’t tell her what I wanted to know, there was no need to listen to the rest. I interrupted her and said, “Yun’er, please call me sister from now on. Master sounds a bit weird!”
Yun'er actually ran over and hugged me again and started acting coquettishly: "Okay, sister, you can go to school in peace. I will wait for you to come back at the ancestral hall!"
After she finished speaking, she smiled at me and disappeared.
I looked at the magnificent ancestral hall in front of me. How many secrets are there?
Apart from the medical fairy who was revered as the mountain god thousands of years ago, does Yunjia Village have any other origins?
Why are Bai Zimo's inner elixir and Ni Lin sealed here?
But I have no way of sorting these things out.
Just when I turned around to leave, I saw Li Hongbo from a neighboring village approaching with a group of people menacingly.
Some of them had sticks in their hands, and some had hoes and shovels. It seemed they were here to cause trouble.
I don’t know where I got the courage. I glared at Li Hongbo and said angrily: “What are you doing here again? This is the ancestral hall of the Yun family. No one can break in without permission!”
He didn't even bother to look at me, and said to the people behind him: "The child was abandoned in the ancestral hall. We are here to save people. Don't care what she said, let's go in and find it ourselves!"
I immediately rushed in front of him to stop him. Before I could say anything, he pushed me to the ground, pointed at me and cursed: "Mind your own business!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly screamed: "You are poisonous, my hands... my hands..."
I looked at his hands that had turned blue and was stunned. I immediately remembered the yellow hair from before. Could it be that Bai Zimo was trying to scare people again?
However, someone from Li Hongbo's village actually stood up and said, "You actually poisoned me. The people in Yunjia Village are really bad!"
I just don't understand, how did they know that I was the one who poisoned them? If I hadn't experienced Bai Zimo's yellow hair before, I wouldn't be able to guess the reason!
Could it be that they had already found a countermeasure and staged such a drama on their own, just to find a reason to enter the ancestral hall?
But in the blink of an eye, Li Hongbo fell to the ground and started twitching, and then he started bleeding from all his orifices!
It didn't look like he was deliberately blackmailing, he was really poisoned.
I wanted to step forward to see the situation, but the people he brought stopped me with hoes and sticks. One of them shouted: "Don't even think about running away. This matter is not over today. Hongbo came to find the child, but was stopped by the people from Yunjia Village." People have been poisoned, and no one is allowed to leave without giving an explanation!"
I looked at Li Hongbo lying unconscious on the ground, and I felt very anxious. Regardless of whether he came to blackmail someone intentionally, it was a fact that he had been poisoned. If he didn't save him, I was afraid that someone would die.
I yelled at them: "If we don't save him, he will really die!"
After saying that, I wanted to check on Li Hongbo, but at this moment, a stick hit me directly on the back of the head, and I was immediately hit and dizzy.
"You saved? You were the one who killed this person. Do you think we will believe you?"
They were just here to make trouble, and they couldn't be reasonable at all, and no one really cared about Li Hongbo's life or death, or maybe they were just setting a trap.
But the signs of Li Hongbo's poisoning were real. The price they paid for that coffin was too high, right?
Actually poisoning people?
"If you don't believe me, just go and see if he is still angry! It will be really hopeless if it is too late!" I covered the back of my head and shouted loudly.
At this time, someone went to check Li Hongbo's breathing. The next second, the man's legs went limp and he sat on the ground: "Hongbo is dead. He was poisoned to death by people from Yunjia Village!"
When the villagers heard this, they immediately held me up with sticks and shouted to the village chief for an explanation.
I was wondering, don't they plan to sentence people to death without rescuing them? Why does this look so much like porcelain?
But I can see that Li Hongbo is not pretending, something must have gone wrong...
