Chapter Thirty-Six: The Candle Has a Heart and Regrets Farewell
Oh, this is really tricky, alas, pity our little Yiyang, so small to shoulder such a heavy burden, what if you meet bad people along the way, even if there are no bad people, these two hundred miles, over the mountains and mountains, you will be tired and half dead....... Grandma began to sigh endlessly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Okay, don't talk about it, hurry up and take Yiyang to wash it, this smell is about to smoke me. Grandpa tried to change the subject so that Grandma would not continue to mess around.
After my grandmother heard this, she wanted to refute anything, but when she smelled me, it was indeed full of snake blood, so she didn't say anything more, so she could only lead me to take a bath helplessly.
However, after taking a quick bath, my body did feel much refreshed, and the previous soreness was also reduced a little.
After taking a bath, accompanied by my grandmother, I walked into the small room where I slept, and in the room at this time, my grandfather had lit a small candle, and the small flames swaying left and right looked extremely stubborn in the night.
I leaned sideways on the bed, looked at the small candle on the wooden table, and remembered a poem by Li Shangyin: "It is difficult to say goodbye when we meet, the east wind is powerless and a hundred are crippled, the spring silkworms are dead to the end, and the wax torch turns to ashes and tears begin to dry."
Thinking that tomorrow I would leave home and go to a strange and distant place for a race between life and death, my heart was suddenly full of confusion and confusion.
I rolled over in bed with difficulty, looked out the window at the stars, and remembered the unpredictable things that happened to me at night, and fell asleep in a daze.
When I woke up the next morning, the sun had crept up to the top of the mountain, and the golden sunlight was shining through the window into my small room, which seemed extraordinarily peaceful and peaceful.
It would be nice to live a peaceful and leisurely life like this all the time, but unfortunately, it is about to embark on a journey into the unfathomable struggle between human nature and witchcraft.
Yiyang, wake up? Grandpa's warm, thick voice came from the doorway.
I turned around and saw that my grandfather was standing outside the curtain, looking at me with a light smile.
At this time, there was a wave of emotion in my heart for no reason, prompting a spirit to jump off the bed, put on his shoes and run to the door of the room, and without saying a word, he pounced on his grandfather and hugged him tightly.
Both of them were silent for a while, because we both knew in our hearts that dawn meant that I was going to embark on a journey.
Grandpa naturally understood what I meant, so he didn't speak again, just gently stroked my hair.
Okay, okay, it's like parting with life and death, Yiyang, come over and eat. Grandma's voice rang out untimely from behind.
Let's go, Yiyang, go wash your face and eat first, and then send you off. Grandpa carried me into the yard while talking.
I nodded obediently, and under the locust tree in the yard, I hurriedly washed my face, and reluctantly returned to the living room to eat breakfast.
Yiyang, are you up yet? Outside the courtyard, Tianhong's familiar shouts rang out.
Wake up, eat, come in. I replied listlessly.
As soon as I finished saying this, Tianhong, Monkey and Yu Bing had already strode into the main hall together, all three of them were wearing tight clothes and a pair of cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles, and they looked like they were going to go far away.
Tianhong still has the gourd pretending to be a black-clothed imp hanging on his waist, which should have been given to him by the ghost.
Hey, why are you all here? I asked, surprised.
Don't you look at what time it is, we still have to hurry! The monkey said loudly.
Oh, and still hurry, alas. When I heard that I was going to hurry, I couldn't help but sigh again.
Why, do you want to retreat? Xia Yubing said with a sneer.
I'm in so much pain all over my body now, can I rest for a day before I set off, and I have to take a breath before hanging. I looked at the big guy with an innocent expression.
Don't pretend to be you, you weren't hurt last night, it's a fart. Tianhong ruthlessly exposed me.
You are a person, it's not a big deal to watch the excitement, the person who was chased and killed by the white murderer yesterday was not you, and the person who fell from the big stone into the snake pile twice was not you, of course you don't hurt. Hum! I was also angry and choked Tianhong.
Oh oh, sorry, I forgot you fell twice yesterday, sorry sorry. Tianhong apologized to me with a look of shame.
I wanted to continue to ridicule each other, but then my grandfather suddenly said loudly: "Okay, Yiyang, don't fight snakes with sticks, human lives are at stake, you can't delay for a moment, the luggage has been packed for you, let's go now."
After finishing speaking, my grandfather didn't care whether I agreed or not, so he went back to the room, took out a small baggage, handed it to me, and said lightly: "Let's go, the village chief is already waiting for us at the entrance of the village."
I silently took the burden, looked up at the grandmother standing next to me without saying a word, her old face, full of reluctance and worry, I dare not continue to look, maybe one more second, the soft string in my heart will be plucked, then I am afraid that I can't help but cry in front of so many people, then it will be a joke.
He whispered to her at the moment, "I'm leaving."
After saying that, I quickly turned my head away, for fear that she would see the tears in my eyes.
Grandma only replied softly: "Pay attention to safety on the road.......
But from her whispered tone, I could clearly hear the sound of tears dripping down my heart.
The person who loved me the most from childhood to adulthood, when I traveled far away, how could I not have a thousand words of advice, but at this moment all the words were stuck in my throat, and only converged into a sentence "Pay attention to safety on the road."
This is already silent at this time.
Grandpa is probably used to seeing life and death parting, so he didn't show too much sadness.
He walked over quickly, took me by the hand, and whispered, "Let's go." Then he glanced at the three little ones again, and motioned for them to follow.
Tianhong, Monkey, and Yu Bing were probably also affected by this atmosphere, and they just followed their grandfather silently and walked slowly to the entrance of the village.
At this time, the sun has hung high in the clouds, the whole village is completely shrouded in golden glow, the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, bathed in the sun, is like a brave and burly warrior, guarding the stability and unity of the village all the time.
Occasionally, a few early mountain birds flew over our heads and landed in the nearby woods with a few cries.
The villagers who got up early to farm led the big yellow cow to walk leisurely on the field path, and the figure of the big yellow cow was reflected obliquely in the paddy field.
Everything in front of him seemed so quiet and peaceful, if it weren't for a battle between the Black Witch and Zhu You's disciples last night..........
