Chapter 1102 The Returnee's Notes 176
The old lady didn't take Black Egg into the mountains, nor did she take Xi'er. She stayed in the black umbrella to rest until Xie Ning returned before she could come out for a while.
"You're back!?" Xi'er was overjoyed. Heaven knows how terrifying that old woman was. Although she hadn't done anything to her, she was still very scary. In fact, she was subconsciously afraid of her.
I actually find Xie Ning more approachable.
"Okay, you read for a while, I'll go out to buy food." With the stove and pot cold, Xie Ning didn't want to cook.
Xi'er couldn't turn the pages of the book, so Xie Ning bought an accordion-fold storybook that lay out on the table for a long time.
Because Xi'er doesn't know many characters, this book is mostly pictures.
As Xi'er watched the door gradually close, she glanced at the black cat beside her, who was engrossed in eating, and suddenly felt a pang of sadness.
Therefore, even after Xie Ning returned with two meals, she still hadn't read much of the storybook.
Seeing Xie Ning stick his chopsticks into the middle of his rice, Xi'er leaned forward and said, "I have a question."
Um?
Xie Ning swatted away the black cat's paw, turned her head to meet Xi'er's bright black eyes. There was a large gash on her forehead, from which blood would flow from time to time, in a continuous cycle.
"Why are you so good to me?" Not only Xie Ning, but also her husband, but she could no longer ask him.
She knew that Xie Ning and her husband had different motives, but... she wanted to know.
Xie Ning reached out, not through Xi'er's body, but directly to touch her cheek, "Because I like a brighter world."
Xi'er still didn't quite understand, but Xie Ning didn't explain further.
The black cat tilted its head and nudged Xie Ning with its paw, signaling Xie Ning to hand over the chicken leg quickly.
"It's still hot, you can eat it later." This little thing really eats everything, and its appetite is bigger than that of a normal kitten. I don't know where all the food goes.
"Meow--"
A light rain falls outside the window, the days and months change, and before we know it, spring has arrived, with its heavy flower shadows and lush greenery.
The old lady still didn't come out of the mountains during the Spring Festival this year. Only Xie Ning, a ghost, and a cat spent the holiday together. Hei Dan even brought his group of cat friends over to share chicken legs with him.
Seeing the cola, Xie Ning went outside and bought some chicken to boil for the kittens.
Black Egg can eat food with various seasonings, but other kittens can't.
Just when Xie Ning thought the old lady wouldn't come out of the mountains before she left, the old lady returned carrying a small basket.
Black Egg was the first to run up and rub against the old lady's leg, showing how much she missed her; even the kitten's tail stood up.
"Go away, you're covered in mud." The old lady picked up the black egg, her face full of disgust.
This little thing went to catch mice with the other kittens this morning and got covered in mud.
"Grandma, have you had breakfast?" Xie Ning was sitting at the table eating wonton noodles when she got up to make a bowl of vegetarian noodles for the old lady.
"You've eaten, no need to bother anymore."
The old lady put the basket aside, saw incense being burned in front of the statue of Laozi, and nodded in satisfaction. Then she said to Xie Ning, "Get ready, I'll take you to order the Soul Umbrella tomorrow."
This means we're leaving No Return Town to go somewhere else.
"good."
The old lady led her to another small town. Since there was no direct bus, she conscripted Wang Laodao's apprentice as a laborer.
It was Wang Younian, Xie Ning's second apprentice whom he had never met before.
He was in his early thirties, not very tall, wearing a Taoist robe, and had long hair styled in a Tai Chi bun.
"This must be A-mei, she's really pretty."
Wang Younian was always smiling, which made him look kind and benevolent. He was not from Guangdong Province; he was just called Xie Ning by Wang Heng and the others.
How is your master?
They went into the mountains together. She was injured, and the old Taoist priest Wang also suffered a bad fate, and he has been in seclusion ever since he returned.
“Master has come out of seclusion. When he has free time, he recites Taoist scriptures with the children. He hasn’t done anything else.”
This refers to things that require a lot of "energy," such as drawing talismans and crafting certain items.
"That's fine then."
Wang Younian glanced at the old lady through the rearview mirror. Although Wang Laodao didn't elaborate, he could roughly tell that the old lady had gone into a deeper part of Guibei Mountain.
Old Master Wang was on the outer perimeter, and even so, he was seriously injured, let alone the old lady.
