father snake

It stands to reason that it is very impolite for you to interrupt someone when he is immersed in a certain emotion and cannot extricate himself, but Shi Xiaochuan really couldn't help it.

Seeing the time passing by every minute and every second, the child was still touching the snake slough and meditating, and there was no sign of waking up. Trembling three times, he checked the wall of the cave in a circle, and lit up the other three oil lamps on it. It was unknown how many years ago the oil lamps were, but it was still working. It was amazing.

When he finally finished his work, he stood by the side for a while, and finally couldn't help but walked over, and gently hugged the child, "Have you finished reading? We should go."

The child was finally willing to put down the snake slough, raised his head, and took a look at Shi Xiaochuan. Shi Xiaochuan was shocked for a long time by just this one look. What's going on with this look, what's going on with this child, even the old man is not like this The vicissitudes of life are exhausting.

The child glanced at him, and then began to grab the tail of the snake in his hand and began to curl it up. Shi Xiaochuan was surprised again, "You want to take this away?" He pointed to the snake and asked .

no?But the thing is obvious, Shi Xiaochuan looked at his small stature and small hands, but it was a bit difficult to clean up such a big piece of snake slough, so he sighed again and came over to help him. I don't know how long ago it was left, it was covered with dust, and it was still crunchy, and you had to be very careful to keep the snake's slough from being broken and rolled up.

Seeing that he started to help, the child threw his hand away and stood aside watching. Shi Xiaochuan murmured and tossed, and after much effort, he finally cleaned up the snake's slough. He tied the snake with a rope. She tied it up and looked at it with satisfaction, "That's all right, let's go back."

He walked over, intending to pick up the child and tie it to his chest, but the child turned his head in disapproval, Shi Xiaochuan's face was gloomy, and he was about to scold others, but the child really shouldn't be too submissive, too pampered, once pampered, he will become lawless. But he heard a rustling sound coming from the passage, he gently hugged the child, walked to the entrance of the passage, looked in, naturally it was dark and couldn't see anything, but he could hear something clearly Something is crawling here.

Shi Xiaochuan thought badly, could it be that the snake has not left yet and is still here?Intruded into its lair?You must know that some kinds of snakes have a very long lifespan. Maybe I have encountered such a snake unfortunately.

Regardless of the child's struggle, he blocked him behind him, held the iron chain as a weapon in one hand, and looked at the entrance of the passage tremblingly.

I saw a half-bald head emerging from the passage in a panic, it turned out to be an acquaintance.

Shi Xiaochuan didn't know what to say, so he could only wait for the man to crawl out of the cave and wipe off the dirt and dust sticking to his body, before he mumbled, "Teacher Shu, you, why are you here?"

Shu Youcai adjusted his glasses in a bit of embarrassment, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking, "You haven't been to school for so long, let us look for you everywhere, no, we found Lingshan Temple, just went to the backyard and found The situation here is not right, so come in and take a look." He looked at Shi Xiaochuan with such an expression on his face, "What are you doing in this cave? Also, where did this kid come from?"

Shu Youcai asked, pointing to the child standing quietly behind Shi Xiaochuan.

Shi Xiaochuan suddenly remembered that the person he bumped into when he left school seemed to be Teacher Shu Youcai.

Shi Xiaochuan didn't know how to answer, "——Come in to have a look out of curiosity. I don't know where this kid came from, maybe he got separated from his parents."

Shu Youcai took a step in the direction of the child, Shi Xiaochuan noticed sensitively that the child he was leading shrank back slightly and stood still, but his hand was firmly grasping his hand, Shi Xiaochuan felt a little strange, Children seem to be a little jealous of Mr. Shu Youcai?

However, the appearance of Teacher Shu is a little strange. The previous time, he disappeared for so long and he didn't see him. This time, he found this cave directly. No matter how you think about it, it feels unnatural, but Shi Xiaochuan can't figure it out. the joints in it.

Both he and Mr. Shu seemed to have completely forgotten all the strange things in this cave, such as iron chains, the oil lamp on the wall, and the snake slough he held in his hand.

Maybe it's tacit understanding, maybe it's intentional avoidance, anyway, no need to explain these things, it's great for Shi Xiaochuan, he is having a headache on how to solve the child's problem, this time it's good, Mr. Shu It's better to come forward than him as a minor.

Now that Mr. Shu is here, he doesn't have to tie the child to his chest anymore. He took the flashlight, hung the snake slough on his body, and walked towards the entrance of the passage. The child followed him. He whispered to the child, "I will In front, you follow me, Mr. Shu, you watch him."

Shu Youcai nodded.

Shi Xiaochuan was about to crawl inside when he felt a sharp pain in his head. His first reaction was that he was broken. He shouldn't trust people. He knew that Mr. Shu was a little strange, but because of his habitual thinking, he didn't take precautions against him. , These thoughts rushed into his mind like ocean waves, but in an instant, they returned to the ocean, and he fainted.

Shu Youcai and the child stood facing each other at the two ends of the cave. Shu Youcai was sweating slightly on his forehead. Under his feet, there were a few mice that had just been scared away.

The child held the iron chain in his hand, the iron chain was bigger than his hand, and he didn't care too much about Shu Youcai who was opposite him, he just lowered his head, looked at the iron chain in his hand, and gradually tightened his hand , his small white hands rubbed against the rough iron chain, dripping with blood, but he didn't care at all.

He raised his head, first glanced at Shi Xiaochuan who was lying down not far away, then turned his head and looked at Shu Youcai who was facing him, his little face that had been tense all the time thought of something, and suddenly showed a smile.

"How long has it been?" the child asked suddenly, his voice was childish and soft, with a characteristic innocence of a child, but the content of the words and the meaning in the tone formed two extremes with the voice.

Shu Youcai on the opposite side did not answer.

The child didn't seem to want his answer, but just tilted his head, "This iron chain has been with me for so long, I originally wanted to take it away, so it's—" He thought for a while and continued, " Be alert." The child laughed and threw away the iron chain in his hand, blood dripping down his fingertips to the ground, "some things have to be settled first, for example, you, guard me for 300 years, I will not return this generous gift Wouldn't it be too sorry for the loyal watchdog."

The mice under Shu Youcai's feet screamed frantically and ran around him. Shu Youcai yelled at him in a low voice, and the mice immediately quieted down and left the hole with their tails tucked away. They didn't know where they were. .

Shu Youcai took off his glasses, took out a piece of glasses cloth from his pocket, and wiped them carefully, as if he was trying to stabilize his emotions with this action. He shook his hands, put on the glasses again, and said something, this sentence The child's attention was drawn, and the fierceness on his face subsided a little, and then the two of them walked a little closer, not knowing what they were talking about.

In any case, when Shi Xiaochuan woke up holding his painful head, he was still in the Taoist temple, but not in the cave in the backyard, but on his own bed, and Teacher Shu Youcai was nowhere to be seen, and he was right next to him. The child was sitting there. He was holding a glass of water and was about to pour it into his mouth. Shi Xiaochuan was startled by his wobbly movement. He quickly took the glass of water and took a sip. better.

"What the hell happened?" He muttered to himself. Before he passed out, he thought it was Teacher Shu Youcai who attacked him, but now he is unscathed, and the child is standing in front of him safely and completely. From the perspective of the situation, it is not the case, so what is the reason?

He looked suspiciously at the child who looked like a three or four year old toddler.

The child looked back at him calmly, and in the end, Shi Xiaochuan couldn't bear the pressure and turned his eyes away.

Seeing his reaction, the child laughed silently, a small dimple appeared at the corner of his mouth, his eyes were curved, and he looked very cute.
