Chapter 25 The Dark Qi of the Bracelet

Wen Chi was woken up by a knock on the door in the morning.

The night was quiet last night, and I had a big meal to satisfy my hungry stomach. Logically, I should have been able to have a good rest at night.

As a result, he couldn't sleep at all.

Sometimes I felt that the little thatched hut was too quiet, and sometimes the chirping of insects outside was too noisy. Anyway, something was wrong.

He tossed and turned most of the night, and only fell asleep when the morning light was just beginning to break through the window.

...Then I fell asleep for a short while before being woken up again.

Tormented by insomnia, Wen Chi stood up like a wandering soul and "floated" all the way to open the door.

Suisui raised her little face, and her eyes, like those inlaid with gems, sparkled like two twinkling stars.

"Xiaochi Xiaochi! Here I come!"

"Um... well, come in."

Wen Chi responded vaguely, and without even opening his eyes, he "floated" back to the room, fell into the quilt, and fell asleep unconscious.

Every year: (⊙⊙)

She followed him in, lay down beside Wen Chi's bed, and tugged at him.

"Xiaochi! The sun is shining on my butt!"

Wen Chi didn't move at all.

Sui Sui was shocked.

"Xiaochi is dead?"

She leaned forward to smell the pool's scent.

Fortunately, fortunately, I am alive.

Whoosh.

"Xiaochi is a pig."

Suisui thought of the piglets she saw in the villagers' homes. They were just like Wen Chi, sleeping soundly and could not be woken up no matter what.

What else can we do?

As a little ginseng spirit who saves those who are destined to be with him, just spoil him!

Sui Sui imitated others, patted his own thin shoulders, and thought:

I have worked so hard!

...Hey, that's not right. Where does the smell come from?

Sui Sui sniffed and looked around for any trace of the stench.

To say it smells bad is probably not quite accurate.

It should be more like a rotten smell, a smell that people hate and resist every year, like a natural enemy!

Sui Sui was sniffing around the room like a puppy.

Finally, I found a Huanghuali bracelet on the cabinet in the corner.

Of course Sui Sui couldn’t tell what Huanghuali wood was.

She just felt that the bracelet was dirty, with a faint black gas rolling on it. When she saw it, she just wanted to pinch her nose and stay away from it.

However, her intuition told her that this energy was very bad for Xiaochi.

What should I do?

Sui Sui's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and it took a lot of mental effort before she held her breath and moved closer.

"Smelly."

Sui Sui's little face is almost turning into a bitter melon.

Finally, she suppressed her resistance, raised her feet, took off the rosewood bracelet, pinched it with two fingers, and ran quickly to Wen Chi's bed.

"Xiao Chi, this bead stinks. I'll help you throw it away!"

In his hazy sleep, Wen Chi only heard someone chattering in his ears.

He turned his face to the other side and answered dazedly:

"Hmm...throw it away..."

Just don't disturb his sleep.

"OK!"

Sui Sui, burdened with a heavy responsibility, ran out of the yard quickly and came to the nearby woods.

Smelling her scent, Xiaoshan came out of the bushes and approached Suisui happily.

Suddenly, Xiaoshan saw the bracelet that Suisui was holding.

The animal's keen sense made it sense the danger and it let out a low whimper from its throat.

He wasn't the type that usually tried to please Sui Sui, but was rather fierce and ferocious, like a jungle beast ready to pounce!

"Woooooo!"

The hills seemed to be roaring, and seemed to be reminding the years—

Throw it away quickly!

"Don't worry! It can't hurt me!"

Sui Sui looked at the thin black air surrounding the bracelet with pride, like several poisonous black snakes trying to gnaw on her fingers.

Unfortunately, it didn't even get hit, and its head was smashed to pieces. When it was re-condensed, the color was much lighter.

As a ginseng spirit that has been practicing for thousands of years and a spiritual creature favored by heaven, how could Suisui be hurt so easily?

If the black energy targets Sui Sui, it will only cause zero harm to the enemy and a thousand harms to itself.

If you wear it for one day every year, it will be enough to purify and dispel all the evil spirits in the bracelet.

But Suisui thinks it stinks too much and really doesn’t want to suffer this injustice!

"This is a nasty thing! Let's throw it away!"

He said he wanted to throw it away, but Sui Sui looked around and felt that no place was a good place to throw it.

What if the flowers and plants are hurt?

"Hmm."

While Suisui was hesitating, Xiaoshan had already cleverly used his head to push a big rock over and made two humming sounds to signal.

"That's right! Just smash it!"

With the concerted efforts of Suisui and Xiaoshan, the rosewood bracelet finally cracked into pieces.

The black air was floating and rootless, and it didn't last long before it dissipated automatically.

The rest had little power, so Suisui just threw it away.

After that, Suisui finally had time to care about Xiaoshan.

Have you eaten enough?

Have you been bullied by nearby animals?

If there are any, remember to wait for her to pick them up herself every year;

…

The hill listened patiently, like a steady older brother. No matter how noisy Suisui was, it would only choose to tolerate him.

It seems that we have been out for quite some time, so it’s time for Suisui to go back to the cabin.

"Xiaoshan, don't worry, I will find a chance to bring you with me!"

Suisui hugged Xiaoshan's neck tightly, reluctant to leave.

Ever since he saw the skinny Xiaoshan and fed him with spiritual herbs every day, Suisui has not been separated from Xiaoshan for so long.

But in order to become an immortal...

"When I become an immortal, I will turn the little mountain into a tiny mountain and carry it in my bag forever! Never separate them!"

Make promises solemnly every year.

Although she didn't remember how to shrink a dog...

But since they have become immortals, they must be like the gods on TV, omnipotent!

"Wait for me!"

Suisui took two steps and couldn't help but turn back and run over to hug Xiaoshan.

Then set off again and look back again.

Repeat this three times.

Finally, under Xiaoshan's gentle gaze, she walked out of the woods step by step and returned to the small thatched cottage.

As soon as he stepped into the small thatched hut, Sui Sui was hit in the face by anxious scolding!

"Sui Sui! Where have you been? How could you run around without telling me? Do you know that everyone is going crazy looking for you?"

Sui Sui raised her little head in confusion and looked at Wen Chi, who was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead.

"……ah?"

Wen Chi, who was originally speaking harshly, was suddenly looked at by Sui Sui's pure eyes, and his anxiety was gradually soothed.

He coughed and began to wonder if he was being too harsh.

Was Sui Sui scared?

He looked at Sui Sui quietly and found that she was not crying and was still quiet.

It seems that you are not scared... That's good.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have yelled at you."

Wen Chi's brows were tense, and he bowed his head to apologize in an unaccustomed manner.

Then, with a serious face, he warned:

"But remember not to run around next time! Everyone is worried about you!"

Wen Chi said this and tilted his head to indicate.

Sui Sui followed and saw two people standing not far away.

...It was the uncle and aunt who brought her here!

Suisui felt their care, worry and relief, and then looked at Wen Chi, and seemed to understand something.

She clutched the corner of her clothes and whispered "I'm sorry".

The soft and sticky apology, the white and tender glutinous rice ball face...it's really hard to get angry.
