Chapter 591 You Must Find Him
Zhao Siqi crawled under the bed and saw that Wuhong Dog had clothes stuffed in its mouth. It looked like it was suffocating and had its eyes rolled back. He quickly pulled out the clothes and dragged the dog out.
The five red dogs escaped death, turned around and bit Zhao Siqi's calf.
Zhao Siqi cried out in pain and knocked the dog's head twice before the Five Red Dog opened its mouth.
"Just say you shouldn't keep a dog."
Zhao Siqi muttered something, and looking at the five red dogs baring their teeth, his conscience finally couldn't bear it. He bared his teeth and said awkwardly, "Brother doesn't like dogs, and it's not that I mean to embarrass you. But I won't do it next time. He's already seen you, so there's no need to hide from him anymore."
"Woof woof!"
Wuhong Dog barked twice before Zhao Siqi pinched its mouth and said, "Shhhhhhhh—don't disturb others' sleep. I'll buy you some meat in the morning."
Zhao Siqi had to coax Wuhong Dog for a long time before he calmed down.
The next day, Zhao Siqi fulfilled his promise and bought meat for Wuhong Dog.
He was penniless, and the little money he had was borrowed from Huai Zhong and Huai Yi. When he borrowed the money, Huai Yi looked at him with a suspicious look, which made him feel embarrassed, and he quickly promised to pay it back.
Zhao Siqi knows some magic tricks, and he can make some money by performing magic tricks or performing rituals.
He stayed at the Fu Ji Temple and had a lively New Year's celebration until the seven-day limit was up.
The night was deep and Zhao Siqi was not sleeping well.
I always feel cold in my dreams, as if my blood is running cold and my body is stiff.
A rustling sound rang in my ears, it was the sound of scales rubbing against each other.
The crackling sound of burning firewood rang in his ears. In the sheltered cave, Zhao Siqi saw a fire through the eyes of his soul.
Zhao Siqi exposed his snake tail and coiled around the fire, letting the heat dispel the coldness from his body. The flames were warm, and it made him drowsy.
The woman named Lizhu just sat cross-legged quietly, concentrating her energy and relaxing her mind, with a crystal light all around her.
Zhao Siqi looked at Lizhu with half-closed eyes. The woman then opened her eyes and asked, "Qingdi, you said you were too cold to walk at night, so why don't you rest?"
Zhao Siqi looked at her quietly and asked, "Sister Lizhu, if I can't find him, will I never be able to go back?"
Lizhu sighed softly and said, "Don't have that thought, because you will definitely find him."
Zhao Siqi swam over to Lizhu, wrapped his cyan snake body around her, and rested his head on her lap. He asked, "Maybe he'll be dead by the time I find him, or maybe I won't be able to find him at all."
Lizhu gently stroked his cheek. Her fingers were cold, but when they fell on Zhao Siqi's face, they left a burning sensation along the traces of her touch. Zhao Siqi felt his body suddenly become hot, an indescribable hot flash.
But Lizhu's eyes were calm, and she whispered, "No, you must find him."
She slowly raised her head and looked towards the southwest, which was the direction of Jiaozhi.
Her voice echoed in the cave, carrying the chill of ice and snow: "If you can't find him, and can't perfect your soul and reach the sixth level, Mother will be angry."
Lizhu lowered her head and looked at "Zhao Siqi" and said, "She is not only a mother, but also the Empress. If you can't cultivate to the sixth level, you are useless. The Empress will take your soul away and use your body to reshape a brother."
Lizhu placed her hands on Zhao Siqi's chest, his dense, hard, green scales beneath them. She gently pressed against his chest and said, "Do you understand? You must find him, whether he's dead or alive."
Many thoughts flashed through Zhao Siqi's mind, including admiration, awe, respect and fear for the Snake Mother Goddess.
Zhao Siqi emerged from the sides of the snake's chest, freeing his hands. He grasped Lizhu's hands, his eyes cold as he spoke, "I will find him, Sister Lizhu. I will definitely find him."
The snake's pupils reflected flames and the brutality of a life-and-death struggle.
Zhao Siqi suddenly struggled to sit up from the bed. He took a long breath, his chest beating violently. Although it was freezing cold, he broke out in a sweat. When the cold wind blew, he immediately felt cold all over.
"He saw me." Zhao Siqi hurriedly packed up his luggage. Looking at the sky, which was still pale and the sun had not risen yet, he already wanted to leave.
His luggage was very simple, and the only new clothes he had were bought just a few days ago.
After getting dressed neatly, he pushed open the door and remembered Gong Mengbi's instructions to him: "Stay for at least seven days."
Zhao Siqi counted the days and said, "It's been seven days."
He mustered up the courage to leave, stirring up the resolve within him, and knocked on Huaizhong and Huaiyi's doors, bidding them farewell. "I must go," he said. "I should have left two days ago, but something delayed me, so I stayed two more days. Now I must go."
He apologized, "I haven't paid you back yet. I'm afraid I can't pay it back for now. I can only pay it back later."
Huaiyi showed an expression that said, "As expected," and said, "You must remember this. Don't forget it."
Huaizhong glared at him and said to Zhao Siqi, "Brother Zhao, why don't you take it to heart?"
Zhao Siqi laughed and said, "I have to pay it back. I said I would pay it back, and I can't go back on my word."
Zhao Siqi didn't dare to stay any longer and said, "I have to leave."
Huaizhong and Huaiyi escorted him outside the Fuji Temple. Suddenly, Huaiyi said, "Wait a moment."
He hurried back to the room and soon came out with a small cloth bag. He placed it in Zhao Siqi's hand and said, "You owe money anyway, so you might as well owe more. Save this for your travels. You'll be in trouble if you go out without money."
Zhao Siqi looked at Huaiyi, but instead made Huaiyi feel embarrassed, and drove him away, "Go away, go away."
After Zhao Siqi walked a few steps away, Huaiyi shouted again: "Remember to pay me back. Don't die before you pay off your debt."
Zhao Siqi looked back and saw only two worried faces.
Zhao Siqi waved his hand and said, "I remember it."
Huai Zhong Huai Yi naturally didn't have telepathy, but Zhao Siqi wasn't someone who could hide things on his face.
Just by looking at his expression, Huai Zhong Huai Yi could see a kind of unwavering willingness to die.
Zhao Siqi was moved and quickly left Gusu and headed further west.
Walking out of the human habitation area, on the winding river bank of Wujun, a young man in red clothes was waiting quietly.
Zhao Siqi's heart leaped with joy as he heard the man say, "I'm here to see you off."
"Go west to Wujun and have a smooth journey."
Before leaving, Zhao Siqi was already looking forward to their next meeting.
