Good evening, Lord Hades

When I finished speaking, master didn't say a word for a long time.

He struck a match, lit his pipe and sat alone in the three legged chair in the corner.

Seeing him like this, I feel a little guilty.

The old man is usually very cheerful. Now why is he always depressed?

Did I offend him again just now?

"That... Master, what's the matter with you? If what I said just now offends you, I apologize to you. " I asked tentatively.

The master was silent for a while. He looked up at me and slowly opened his mouth: "seventeen, you have really grown up."

I look confused.

I grew up?

What do you mean by that?

"Master, if you have anything to say, just say it. You look at me like this, and it makes my heart bristle. " I murmured.

Master took a deep breath of the pipe in his mouth, glanced at me, and slowly opened his mouth: "I'm your master, and I'm not a man eating devil. What are you afraid of?"

"I... I'm not afraid. It's you... It's you. Recently, it's so strange that people can't understand."

Master stood up, came up to me and tapped me with his pipe.

"You are the girl. I disguise so well that you can see me! Well, there are some things that I have to let you know sooner or later. It's better to run into the sun than choose the right day! "

With that, the master turned and walked into the room behind the hall.

"If you want to solve those doubts in your heart, come in!" Master's voice came from inside.

It makes me even more surprised.

You know, I have lived with my master for more than ten years, but no matter how close we are, there is always a place I can't go in this family.

Yes, it's the room behind the main room.

The place was inlaid with a thick iron door. It seemed that there was a mechanism on it. Without the key that master hung around his neck every day, he couldn't open it at all.

When I was a kid, I was playful and curious.

Once, while master was asleep, I stole his key and went to open the door.

But I didn't expect that the door didn't open, which almost killed me.

The swords, guns and sticks that shot out of the door were almost like eyes, and they went straight to me.

If I hadn't had a lid on my head at that time, half of my head would have been cut off.

After that, I never thought about that room again.

But today, the master actually said to let me in. This... This is not a trick for me, is it?

I'm a little uneasy, standing at the door, I dare not step in.

"Seventeen, if I ask you to come in, you can come in. What are you doing there? Waiting for me to invite you? " Master was impatient waiting inside.

"Master, are you sure you want me to go in? You don't want to shut me in and give me a fat beating when I get in, do you I asked.

Hearing what I said, Shifu couldn't sit still. She stepped out and grabbed my ear and dragged me in.

"You girl, what can I tell you? Sometimes, heartless, just like a boy. Sometimes, it's like honeycomb briquette. "

I reached out and knocked off my master's hand, which was holding my ear. With an unconvinced face, I murmured, "you didn't teach me that! You feel your conscience, don't you have the same character? "

Master couldn't compete with me, and he didn't bother to argue with me, so he waved to me.

"If I say one word to you, you can support me ten! Come on, let's not argue. I have something important to tell you when I let you into this room today. "

"Something important? As a farmer, what else can you do besides pocket money? " I don't think so.

Seeing that I didn't believe it, master sighed deeply: "it's my fault. Before, I always thought you were young and not sensible, so I didn't tell you those things. Just now you said that the reason why you go to nanwangshan late at night is to earn me money to support you. This makes me feel that you have grown up. There are some things I should not keep from you. "

I shriveled my mouth: "master, you can't see rabbits without eagles. Together, if I don't earn you enough money to support you, aren't you ready to treat me as your own

Hearing this, the master tapped me on the head again with his pipe.

"Smelly girl, did you talk to master like that?"

I felt the place where I was hurt and complained: "do you want to talk about it? If not, I'll go back to my room and go to bed. "

Seeing that I was about to leave, Shifu was in a bit of a hurry.

"Tell me, you smelly girl, you are more anxious than my old man!"

With these words, the master walked slowly to the middle of the room. A few days ago, he reached out and took off the cloth.

Only then did I see clearly what was on the table.

It was a small transparent box with a transparent bead slightly larger than the nail cap.

In the light of the background, the bead appears to be streamer, as if there is air flow in the general surge gently.

"Master, what is this? Isn't it the night pearl of Empress Dowager Cixi that you dug up in the field earlier? If that's the case, then our family will get rich! "

But the master ignored me and just gazed at the bead quietly. There was a feeling in his eyes that I couldn't understand.

"In this bead, the woman I once sealed is the one I love most in my life."

I was a little surprised. I looked at my master in a daze. I didn't know what to ask.

Because since I can remember, Shifu has always been a bachelor. She has been drinking or working in the field all day. She doesn't want to find a daughter-in-law for herself at all.

So that sometimes I wonder if his orientation is different from that of other old men.

But now, he himself said that he once loved a woman, how can I not be surprised?

"So... What kind of person is she? You love her so much, she... She should be beautiful, right? " I murmured.

The master's eyes were long and quiet. It seemed that his thoughts had gone back many years with my question.

"She... She is really beautiful, just like a fairy daughter. For so many years, I have never seen a woman more beautiful than her. But... She is beautiful, but not a good person... She once loved a very good man, for that man, she did a lot of bad things, finally that man in order to avoid hurting more people, had to seal her to this bead, let me take it with me. I think, as long as I am sincere, I can influence her, let her be a good person, no longer do those hurtful things. But I didn't expect that later, she not only didn't repent, but also used evil thoughts to control my wife at that time. She kept hiding around us all the time. Finally, when everyone didn't pay attention to her

When master said that, he gave me a deep look, as if he wanted to say nothing.

I frowned and asked, "what did she do when you didn't notice?"

"She... Attacked my cousin at the time."

"And she killed your cousin?" I asked again.

The master shook his head and said in a deep voice, "no, there was a man who liked my cousin very much. He thought it was early and stopped her for a while. That man died, my cousin in a hurry, the woman I like to blow to ashes, this world has no longer her existence
