"What do you mean?" I was still a little confused.
"Didn't something almost happen today?" My mother looked at me.
I seemed to realize something and looked at my mother and said, "Mom, are you hiding something from me?"
"No, no." My mother's eyes dodge, deliberately not looking at me.
"No?" I confirmed again.
"Okay, Yiyi, don't ask anymore. This matter is not your business. After I pay homage to your grandfather tomorrow, this matter will be settled."
As my mother said this, she stood up anxiously and prepared to leave.
"Mom." I reached out and grabbed my mother's hand.
"Okay, let's rest. I want to go see your dad."
Saying that, my mother hurriedly walked out of the door.
I think my mother is very abnormal and must be hiding something from me on purpose.
What could it be?
I muttered secretly in my heart.
The whole afternoon, I stayed at the Taoist priest's house without going out.
It wasn't until it got dark that I heard the old Taoist priest's voice. It seemed like he was back.
I opened the door and prepared to go out and take a look.
Unexpectedly, just as I walked to the front yard, I saw an old Taoist priest hurriedly entering my dad's house from a distance.
Seeing that his face didn't look very good, I was a little confused and sneaked over.
As soon as I walked to the door, I heard the voice of the old Taoist priest.
"Jiang Laosan, it's not that I won't help you, it's that the Jiang family owes you so much that there is nothing you can do."
Then I heard my dad sigh heavily.
"Why."
"Taoist priest, our Jiang family only has one daughter, please help us no matter what."
It was my mother's choking voice.
What's the meaning?
Could it be that something has something to do with me?
I have some heavy feeling in my heart.
The old Taoist priest spoke again: "Although the Snake Temple was destroyed and the snakes retreated, your Jiang family owes this Snake Lord his life, and you still have to pay it back."
I was so frightened that I covered my mouth with my hands to prevent myself from making any sound.
Why do you owe Snake Lord a life?
Does it mean I killed the black giant python?
"You were lucky enough to escape this time, but what about next time? Can you still be so lucky? You can't let the whole village be buried with you for the murder your family committed, right?" the old Taoist priest asked.
I was startled.
Could it be that the old Taoist priest already knew something?
"Taoist, again, no matter what, I will not let Yiyi take this risk. If she really wants to be punished by Lord Snake, then let me take her place." My dad said decisively.
.
"I just said that only she can do it. After all, she is..."
I pricked up my ears and was about to listen to what was coming next, when suddenly a word came out from behind me.
"what are you doing here?"
I was so frightened that I turned around and saw the Taoist priest's wife looking at me coldly.
"Well, well, I, I, I'm here to see my dad." I blushed and hesitated to explain.
I don't know why, but I feel that there is something weird about this Taoist priest's wife, especially the look in her eyes, which is very scary.
At this time, the door of the room had also been opened. The person who opened the door was a Taoist priest. He was stunned for a moment when he saw me, and then he said, "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to see my dad." I said and walked into the house feeling a little embarrassed.
"Yiyi?" My mother looked slightly surprised when she saw me appearing.
I turned my head and looked at each other with my dad, a trace of worry quickly flashed in my eyes.
My dad just nodded and didn't speak.
"Jiang Laosan, I will go back and rest first."
With that said, the old Taoist priest turned around and left.
"Okay, Taoist priest, walk slowly." My dad said with a flattering look.
My mother quickly stepped forward, sent the Taoist priest away, and then closed the door.
Seeing my parents complimenting Taoist priests like this made me feel very uncomfortable.
It seems that it's because I have to ask Taoist priests for help.
"You girl, weren't you told to stay in the house and not come out? Why did you run out again?" My mother closed the door, turned around and scolded me.
"Don't I just want to see how Dad is doing?" I started to make excuses.
"You go back first. I'm here with your dad." My mother gestured with her hand.
"Mom, just let me stay here for a while, okay?" I always felt that my mother was deliberately trying to push me away.
"No." My mother was determined.
I looked directly at my dad on the bed and said in a deliberately aggrieved tone: "Dad, look at my mom being mean to me."
My father, who has always loved me, stood by my mother uncharacteristically this time and said: "Yiyi, go back as soon as your mother tells you to. You must not sneak out again this time, do you understand?"
"Dad." I was stunned at that time.
Is this still the father who united with me before? Why does it feel different?
"Yiyi, be obedient and go back quickly." My dad pretended to have a serious expression.
Although my dad doesn't get angry on weekdays, when he does get angry, it's always scary.
"Oh." I could only turn around and leave obediently.
My mother was worried, so she said hello to my father and followed me back to my house.
"Yiyi, remember, close all the windows at night, and don't open them no matter what sound you hear, do you understand?"
As my mother spoke, she checked all the windows one by one to see if they were closed tightly.
"Mom, I just heard what you and the Taoist priest said. What happened?" I couldn't help but ask.
My mother who was checking the window suddenly stopped, turned to look at me, and said in an extremely serious tone: "Yiyi, I just need you to remember that no matter what happens, your dad and I will definitely protect you.
your."
After saying that, my mother turned around and continued to check the window.
I was very confused about what my mother said when she answered the question. What did they know? And why they deliberately hid it from me.
"Mom, I am no longer a child." I said helplessly.
"You also know that you are not young now, so don't cause trouble for me and your dad." After that, my mother walked towards me and said, "Okay, Yiyi, sleep peacefully at night."
After saying that, my mother turned around and left.
"Mom." I wanted to catch up, but my mother waved her hand and said:
"obedient."
After watching my mother leave, I sat on the edge of the bed helplessly.
Thinking about what my parents wanted from the old Taoist priest.
After all, the matters at the Snake Temple have been settled, so why do they all have gloomy looks on their faces?
Especially where did the old Taoist priest go today?
Why did you come back so late?
Suddenly a gust of cold wind blew, and the closed window on the side was blown open.
I was startled and jumped up from the bed.
From a distance, I saw a familiar white figure standing not far away.
"Bai Haotian?" I walked over quickly.
Sure enough, I saw Bai Haotian standing not far away, still staring at me coldly.
I subconsciously reached out and gestured towards him.
Bai Haotian's cold pupils shrank slightly, but soon turned cold again.
He just looked at me coldly and didn't speak.
But those green eyes looked even more weird under the moonlight.
I don't know what happened to Bai Haotian?
Why do you treat me with this attitude?
But I know that this must have something to do with that night at the Snake Temple.
I always wanted to ask him if something happened after I fainted that night.
But he never gave me this chance.
Therefore, I wanted to find him more and more to find out.
Seeing that Bai Haotian ignored me, I immediately became anxious, worried that he would suddenly disappear like last time.
When I was anxious, I climbed directly onto the window sill, jumped, and jumped down.
I didn't expect that the outside of the window sill was still quite high from the ground. I jumped down without being able to stand firm, and sat down directly on the ground. I grimaced in pain.
At this time, Bai Haotian didn't say anything about coming to help, he just looked at me sitting on the ground coldly.
I got up from the ground angrily, patted my behind, and limped towards Bai Haotian.
"What do you mean? You saw me falling and you didn't come over to help me." I complained angrily as I walked.
Bai Haotian still stood there, his pupils narrowed slightly, but his cold gaze fell on the position behind me.
I was slightly confused and subconsciously turned my head to look. Unexpectedly, there was a huge black python as thick as the mouth of a well raised above my head, and its body was about the same size as a bucket.
At this time, it was spitting out scarlet snake seeds from its mouth, and its green eyes were looking at me coldly.
