"Oh my God, what does your house smell like?" Tyrone and Tandy were standing at the door just now. When they opened the door, they were hit by the smell in the house.

This mixed and inexplicable smell reminded Tai Lung of some not-so-good memories. It was when he was playing around when he was a child. He bought a can of herring from the supermarket and followed his brother. While out camping, while my brother and his friends were not paying attention, they poured a can of herring into the pot that was making soup.

Tai Lung will never forget the smell that filled the air over the entire camping site ten minutes later, as well as the angry looks in the eyes of several burly men.

Tai Lung couldn't help but turn pale as he recalled it, and almost opened his mouth to spit it out. Fortunately, although they ate a lot today, they used the method Leo taught them and practiced again, and there was basically nothing in their stomachs. I could only retching twice.

In contrast, Tandy's face was also a little pale, but it was not because of the smell, but because he thought of something bad. If Leo hadn't held him down forcibly, he would have cleared everyone in the room before he could As soon as the smell was cleared, Tandy rushed in.

"Mr. Leo" Tandy turned to look at him anxiously, hoping to get some comfort from Leo.

Leo patted her shoulder comfortingly, and the clean smile on his face made people feel inexplicably reassured: "Don't worry, it's not what you think. Your mother probably drank a lot and didn't clean the house. , that’s why it smells like this, but she should be in need of care now, so you should go and take a look first.”

With that said, Leo let go of his hand. The reason why he had to stop Tandy just now was because the dirty air would do great harm to Tandy and Tyrone.

In fact, these dirty smells have little impact on ordinary people, but staying in this environment for a long time may cause some health problems.

But Tandy and Tyrone's situation is different now. They have just practiced the foundation-building technique taught to them by Leo. During the previous few practices, the pores in their bodies will be opened to eliminate themselves. Impurity in the body.

At the same time, during this process, because their bodies will consume a large amount of vitality, their bodies will also instinctively absorb the surrounding natural forces to a certain extent under the influence of the exercises.

Originally this is good for the body, but because the air contains a large number of impurities and toxic substances, it will have some adverse effects on the body.

Therefore, before cultivating disciples have the ability to actively eliminate and abandon these toxic substances, various sects in previous lives will generally take these disciples to some special places to reach the threshold of ability, allowing the disciples to After cultivating in the Paradise of Cave Heaven, the remaining sects will also take their disciples into the deep mountains and forests.

This will minimize the damage caused by toxic substances to the bodies of these beginners when absorbing the energy of heaven and earth in the air. Coupled with some special methods, such as taking elixirs or taking medicinal baths, they can perfectly help disciples get through this relatively fragile stage.

Since Leo had never taught a disciple alone, and the Great Sage only had one disciple, Chen Xiang, he was a rookie in this aspect. He had given them this sitting position with good intentions, but he had forgotten the harm.

By the time they remembered it, Tyrone and Tandy had already completed their first practice, and it was too late to stop them. Fortunately, these side effects were not impossible to eliminate.

Actively absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth is a state that can be maintained for a long time after reaching a certain level of cultivation. Now they will only be in this state for a short period of time after completing their cultivation. Leo only needs to wait until they absorb harmful substances. , before they have any impact on their bodies, just remove these harmful substances from their bodies.

However, although this is theoretically the case, it should be avoided as much as possible to reduce the absorption of these harmful substances. Especially the obvious dirty smells. Even if Li Ao can remove some of the dirty smells from their bodies afterwards, the accompanying nausea will not disappear, which is enough to make these two little guys uncomfortable. It's been several days.

Now that these dirty smells have been removed, there is nothing to stop Leo.

As soon as Leo took his hand away, an impatient Tandy rushed in, followed by Leo and Tyrone.

However, the scene in the house was completely different from what Tandy had imagined. She originally thought that her mother might have been assassinated like Mr. Gregg. The smell before was the smell of corpses, so she turned pale with fear.

Later, after hearing Leo's explanation, I felt a little relieved. What I thought in my mind was that my mother might have been drunk because of the pain in her heart. Now the house should be in a mess, and my mother was also drunk.

But as soon as Tandy ran to the living room, she found her mother sitting quietly at the dining table. She was not as drunk as she thought, but was staring at a box on the table with a dull look.

Although he seemed calm now, Tandy took a look at the messy living room and the wine bottles strewn about on the floor, and could imagine what his mother had done in the past two days.

Tandy sat next to her mother worriedly, stretched out her hand and gently held her hand: "Hi, Mom, are you okay?"

Tandy's mother sighed softly, her lips moved, but no words came out.

Tandy stood up in a hurry, took a clean cup, took a cup of water from the water dispenser, and handed it to his mother's hand: "Mom, I'm really sorry for what I said to you before. I was a little emotional at that time. , failed to control myself."

After all, this was the mother who had worked so hard to raise me. Although I once hated her when I was rebellious in youth, as I got older day by day, and during this period, I experienced a lot of hardships. Things happened, and Tandy gradually understood how difficult her mother's life had been over the years. At this time, it is also what a child should do to sincerely admit a mistake.

Tandy's mother turned her head stiffly and glanced at her daughter, with a gentle smile on her lips, and then turned her attention back to the box in front of her.

She sighed silently again, but pushed the box in front of Tandy: "Take it, there should be something you want in it."

Tandy looked at the box in front of him and was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a moment. Ever since she entered the house, the development of things today has been deviating from her imagination.

The violent quarrel with her mother and the previous huge differences made Tandy somewhat reluctant to return home. On the one hand, it was because of the quarrel and anger, and on the other hand, it was also because she did not know how to face her mother, so she continued to Didn't go home for two days.

After Leo mentioned this matter today, she had to face this realistic problem. She really had no way to find clues about the key to her father's safe, and the remaining hope could only be placed on her mother's side.

Even with Tyrone's company and Leo's encouragement, he was still very nervous when he went home today. He was already ready to argue with his mother again and persuade her with patience.

But her mother's performance once again exceeded her expectations. She originally expressed strong opposition to this matter, but today she took the initiative to hand it over to herself.

"I know you are older now and have your own opinions on many things, and I should respect you. And you have been stubborn since you were a child, which is very much like your father. I couldn't convince your father before, but I'm afraid I can't either now. There is no way to convince you.

And it is true as you said, I have no reason or position to prevent you from pursuing the truth of this matter. Instead of us arguing a few more times, I might as well give you this thing directly. "

Tandy listened quietly to her mother's words. Just when she was about to say a few words, her mother stopped her with her hand: "Listen to me first. Mom is getting older now. She has neither the energy nor the energy to do things in the past." I can't get to the bottom of it anymore.

I just hope you can remember that no matter how important the thing you want is, you must put your own life first. I know you have always wanted to clear his name. This is really not a simple matter. It is more complicated than you think.

And you have to remember, my daughter. I don't care what the truth is that you want to pursue, but often in the end you will find that the truth of the matter is not what we imagined.

No matter what the final truth is, I hope you can accept it calmly and don't let these past events affect your future full of infinite possibilities. "

Ever since she entered the rebellious period, until now when she is about to become an adult, Tandy's mother has never had a good communication with Tandy in her current tone.

Not only did Tandy's mother have many bad habits in the past, but also because after entering the rebellious period, every conversation between the two would lead to fierce quarrels, without exception. This was a huge trauma to both people, and over time, the communication between mother and daughter became less and less.

Listening to the warmth, care and deep worry contained in her mother's words, Tandy's eyes couldn't help but turn red. For the first time, she didn't say a word and just nodded lightly.

She pulled the box from the table to her eyes. When she saw the box for the first time, she recognized its origin. When I was a child, this box was placed on my father's desk, and there would often be a pile of things from the future on top.

In the past, she often ran to her father's study to play. She was often very curious about this box that had never been opened and wanted to see what was inside.

The only chance was that one day she suddenly discovered that there was nothing on the box on her father's desk, and she wanted to open it to see what was inside. But before she could act, her father returned to the study and stopped her. In response to her actions, he placed the thick stack of documents on top of the box again.

From then on, she never had the opportunity to touch the box, and then she slowly put the matter behind her and shifted her interest to other aspects.

Especially after the drilling incident, they were ruthlessly driven out of their homes by Roxon Company, and almost everything they owned was taken away by Roxon Company, so she thought that the box was also taken away by Roxon Company at that time. , I didn’t expect it to still be in my mother’s hands.

There is a hook on the box to fix the lid on the box, but it is not locked. Just pull the hook to open the box.

Tandy took a deep breath, lifted the lid of the box, and hurriedly looked inside the box. I saw that this box was just an ordinary wooden box, highly consistent with its unpretentious appearance.

Even the material of the box is not a normal wooden board, but a plywood pressed out of scraps and sawdust. Overall, the box itself has no value. It is a cheap item that is left on the roadside and no one picks it up.

Moreover, the contents of the box are not very large. You can basically see it clearly at a glance. The box is about the same size as two pieces of A4 paper put together, or at most a little larger. Just put a little bit of stuff on it and it will fill up.

However, the contents placed inside the box did not even cover the bottom of the box. What made Tandy feel even more strange was that most of the things inside were actually dolls that looked crudely made.

These dolls are made of various materials, some are made of plastic, some are made of wood, and some even look like they are made of straw. The only similarity is that these dolls are basically made in pairs of two. You can choose from the dolls. It can be seen in the style and materials. Moreover, the workmanship of these dolls is very rough, and they are definitely not brand-name figures.

Tandy really couldn't figure out why his father, such a serious man, would collect these things. I would say that these things are toys that my father collected for me, but I had never seen these dolls when I was a child, and the Barbie dolls and stuffed toys that my parents bought for me were far more exquisite than these dolls.

What's more, her father always kept this box like a treasure and never let him touch it, so these things were definitely not prepared for her.

Of course, Tandy just glanced at these dolls, feeling a little strange, but his main attention was not on these dolls. After all, everyone may have some special hobbies that are different from ordinary people. As long as it is not illegal or criminal, others will not say anything. The right to make irresponsible remarks.

What really caught Tandy's attention was a brass key that looked a little dull with age next to the dolls and on the side of the box.
