Siberian wood bone

Long Yu's reply soon arrived, confirming my guess.For a moment, I didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow, but I felt anxious, feeling unreal, like stepping on a cloud.But no matter what, I finally felt a little relieved, and finally I was able to sleep peacefully at night.

I have been worrying and fearing for many days, but today I was relieved, and I soon became sleepy, and fell asleep when I touched the bed.

As a result, I dreamed about the past again.

I am different from my seniors, they are all extremely talented people, and they have dealt with these things since they were young, so naturally they don't avoid those strangely shaped insects and snakes.But I can't, even if I force myself to get used to it, the fear in my heart is not reduced by half.But I dare not refuse, I am afraid that if I shake my head now, I will go back to the original place... I don't want to go back.Master probably never thought that I would be such a disappointing student among his apprentices, after all, my seniors never needed him to worry about, so they were naturally very interested in taming Gu and using poison.

I became an outlier among them, hiding every day, not daring to be discovered by others.

The master will arrange homework every day, and if you fail to complete it, you will be punished... I am naturally the one who is punished most often.

Today I was fined to clean the snake den again.

I have been to this snake cave many times, it is dark and cold, but the atmosphere makes me tremble every time, not to mention the cold living creatures inside.But fortunately these snakes can also recognize smells and will not hurt people.

I muttered in my mouth, praying that today will be smooth.The subordinates did not dare to neglect at all, and moved quickly.

I thought that today would be safe and sound, but I didn't expect that in the middle of the cleaning, something happened.

A subtle smell floated in, and by the time I smelled it in the depths of the cave, it was already too late.

The previously quiet group of snakes became restless.

There was a rustling sound, and I froze in place, seeing the scattered snakes start to swim towards me like a tide.

I squeezed the broom tightly, suppressing the fear that spread on my skin, knowing that I can't stay here anymore.But when he carefully tried to avoid the group of snakes and escape, he was surrounded.

The darkness in front of my eyes was silently twisting and tearing, and the smell of blood began to emerge, detonating the despair in my heart.

"Woo..." A small moan rolled out of my throat.

whee--

A strange human voice came from nowhere, and the laughter made people's hair stand on end.

"Who?" I panicked looking into the dark depths of ignorance.

As soon as I said this, there was a wanton laughter from the opposite direction of the hole——

It was the people who made things difficult for me from the very beginning, my former roommates.

They were laughing and celebrating my embarrassment and suffering... and maybe my death in a while.

I huddled in a corner in despair.

For some reason, the group of snakes in front of them was clearly divided into two factions, and they fought desperately.

I don't know why the splash splashed on my face, and slid down my cheeks sticky.

Groups of snakes fight each other, but fewer and fewer stand in front of me.A snake coming from the side opened its mouth wide at me—

Suddenly, a crisp bone whistle sounded.

The giant snake stopped the movement of about to devour it, and obediently lay down against the wall.

The group of snakes swam away.As silent and swift as they had just come.

thump, thump—

The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground one after another.

I also heard a small cry of pain.There was deep fear in the voice.

——Those roommates were thrown to my feet.

I raised my head, and the person who approached last looked at me with his hands behind his back, condescending.

I saw a vague outline, it was Master.

He stopped in front of me for a while, and gave a soft "tsk".Immediately there was candle light illuminating my surroundings.So I was able to see the mockery in his eyes.

"These trash made you so miserable, are you useless?"

"..." I didn't dare to speak, so I just lowered my head and wiped my tears indiscriminately.

"Look up," someone kicked his toes, "look at me."

I did as I did, and I looked into Master's eyes.Those smiling eyes that always seemed to be filled with affection and anger turned cold at this moment, reflecting my embarrassed figure, its owner was saying some emotionless words: "I don't know which family you were from before , but I picked you up and you want to be my apprentice, so don't be so useless."

"They hurt you today, if you endure it, they will continue to hurt you tomorrow—if you don't want to be troubled by them every day, go and kill them now, once and for all."

kill...them? ……kill? !

I opened my eyes wide, looked at the person in front of me in disbelief, then shook my head frantically, and the tears fell down first.

The master looked at me quietly for a while, and then slowly said: "If you are stronger and can protect yourself, I don't need to tell you these things today, but you..." The contempt in his eyes embarrassed me, and my face turned pale. The ground was still wet with tears, and it was already burning hot again.

I know I'm useless.

While sobbing, I quietly grabbed the hem of Master's clothes.I'm afraid he doesn't want me anymore.

Master's expression became impatient and a little weird.I thought it was my actions that made him aware, but he didn't like it.Just as I was about to let go in panic, I heard Master's voice: "Why are you crying again?"

When I looked up, I saw Master's eyebrows furrowed, and then my head was caressed perfunctorily, "Don't cry, are you a girl?"

I was startled by what he said, and immediately choked on myself, "Hi, cough—"

Seeing my appearance, the master seemed to have not expected that I could be so stupid, so he was stunned, and then hummed again: "It's really useless."

I followed my breath carefully, not daring to make a sound, for fear of attracting dislike again.And while the master was focusing on the people next to him, he secretly squeezed the small piece of clothes in his hand tighter.

That's how it's safe.

I don't know what the master thought of, after looking at those people for a while, he turned to me again: "Can you still stand up?"

"belch."

It's embarrassing to say nothing, I shut my mouth tightly, and nodded in embarrassment.

Master sneered, but he seemed satisfied at last, and greeted me: "Let's go."

After walking a few steps, I suddenly thought of the people left behind. Just as I was about to speak, the master in front of me broke my mind without turning his head: "Why do you look back, or do you want to stay with them?"

I stopped thinking immediately.

I followed Master and went out.

The cave was dim, and the faint light penetrated through the entrance, all of which shone on the master.

Zhuoyu climbed off Master's wrist and wrapped around my fingertips.I was shivering from the cold.

Vaguely, I felt the cold touch of being climbed and caressed by the thin snake on my ankle again, and I opened my eyes suddenly——

I was still lying on my bed, seeing familiar things.

I sat up and opened the curtain, the sun had already entered the room and shone on the footbed beside the bed.I put my legs into the golden light mist, and the familiar cold touch in the dream just now slowly receded.
