cloudy day

Chapter 28
When I was distracted, Sun Youde's nephew punched me on the head. I was so dizzy that I almost passed out.

I staggered back a few steps, grabbed a handful of lime from my pocket, and sprinkled it. This was enough for him, and he covered his eyes with his hands and screamed in pain.

Still feeling puzzled, I picked up the shovel on the ground and hit him with a sap on the back of the head, knocking him out completely.

I smiled coldly, and at this moment I heard Sun Youde in the yard shout loudly: "Everyone, come and put out the fire, come quickly, my son..."

Seeing that everyone's attention in the Sun family was attracted by the fire, I breathed a sigh of relief and ran towards the west of the village.

After running for a long time, I found Xiaohu, but when the brat saw me chasing him, he grabbed a stone and hit me. I was very angry.

Panting, I looked towards the entrance of the village, and then at the fire in the old house of the Sun family, thinking that now is not the time to rest.

I then ran towards the entrance of the village, but at this moment, I found a person walking towards me, and I hurriedly hid in the bushes beside the road.

When the person came closer, it turned out to be Miss Xiaofeng. I stepped forward and dragged her to a corner where no one was around, and asked softly, "Why are you here? Didn't you agree to wait at the entrance of the village?"

"That Taoist priest is here. I saw him at the entrance of the village just now." Miss Xiaofeng said in a panic.

My heart skipped a beat, and I asked in panic, "What! Where is that evil person now?"

Sister Xiaofeng shook her head. I thought about it and said to her: "This Taoist priest is a bit evil. Let's run out separately. You and Xiaohu hurry to join relatives in the town. I will go from the back mountain."

"But..." Miss Xiaofeng looked at me worriedly.

"Stop it, or the three of us are in danger, let's go!" I urged, and Miss Xiaofeng bit her lip and nodded. run away.

I rubbed my cheeks stupidly, and couldn't help sighing, if Miss Xiaofeng doesn't have such a father who is not as good as a beast, then maybe...

Looking at Xiaofeng's figure disappearing into the night, I gradually became very uneasy for some reason. It seemed that ever since the Taoist priest appeared, I felt that I was in danger, and I always felt that he would appear behind me silently.

I lowered the brim of my hat again, and went straight to the back mountain. The road to the back mountain happened to pass by my house. I couldn't help slowing down, and took a few nostalgic glances.

But the last thing I saw was loss and grief, because the warm home of my adoptive father and I had been destroyed by fire, leaving only ruined walls and stone tables and benches in the yard.

I let out a long sigh, turned around and was about to leave, but at this moment I suddenly heard an old lady coughing in the dead of night.

I was startled, and hurriedly hid behind the tree, only to see an old lady with hunched body and white hair coming from the east.

She staggered into the yard of my house and put a bowl of food on the stone table. Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but tears rolled in my eyes.

This old lady is Grandma Li next door to my house. She loved me very much since she was a child and treated me like her own grandson.I remember that my family was poor when I was a child, and I always went to her house to steal food, but Grandma Li didn't blame me, instead, she cooked delicious food for me every night.

Under the moonlight, I noticed that the shackles behind Grandma Li have become shorter than before. Could it be because...

After Grandma Li left, I came to the yard sadly, took a few mouthfuls of the bowl of vegetables and rice, and looked at my home.

The moonlight was shining, and I accidentally saw a wooden box under the ruined wall.

I walked over and patted the ashes on it. It looked like the box used by my adoptive father when he went out to show Fengshui to others. It's strange that the fire didn't burn the wooden box?

I opened it curiously, and there was a book, a compass and a few talismans inside the box.

I took out the book casually, and saw the words "Tiantian Secret Art" written on the cover.

Tongtian... I remember my adoptive father asked me to go to Tongtian Palace in Wuling Mountain to find Zhao Guizhen. I don't know if there is any connection between these two Tongtian.

I put the book back in the box, and I planned to leave here with the wooden box, but what I was worried about before became a reality!

An incomparably cold voice sounded behind me, and when I looked back, I couldn't help shivering...
