Good evening, Lord Hades

"Master, you are not dead! I thought you had... "

Without waiting for me to finish, master knocked me on the head with his pipe.

"You smelly girl, are you waiting for me to die?"

I covered my head and looked at the master with some dissatisfaction. I muttered: "master, I am stupid. If you hit me again, I will be even more stupid!"

"You deserve to be stupid. Who makes you wait for me to die?"

"Master, i... I didn't speak fast for a moment. I made a mistake in saying one or two words. You are so reluctant! Originally, Ma Dongdong and I were thinking about coming back to ask you something, but depending on your attitude, I think we'd better forget it! "

With that, I will pull Ma Dongdong away.

"Wait a minute, what do you say? You want to ask me something? What's the matter? " Shifu seems to be in the mood.

When I saw that his attitude had eased, I took advantage of him and told the whole story.

"Just now we were chased by Ma Dongdong's mother and ran to the cliff at the edge of the village. We thought we were finished, and we were ready to fight her to the death, but... But before we started, a hurricane suddenly blew under the cliff and swept Ma Dongdong's mother away! "

My words surprised the master.

"A hurricane under the cliff? Is it the cliff to the west of the village? "

Ma Dongdong nodded again and again: "yes, that's the one. It was very strange at that time. Neither seventeen nor I knew where the wind came from. It didn't happen before, but then it suddenly appeared. Moreover, I feel that the wind seems to be very strong, even the ghost animal is afraid to look at it. It's very evil! "

In the air, the smell of dry smoke gradually floated.

I know, Shifu, it's smoking again.

In addition to the flashlight, the star like red light on his pipe became our only lighting at the moment, barely able to give us a warm comfort in this strange night.

"It's a little weird! I've lived half my life, and I've never heard that ghost animals are afraid of anything. " The master sighed.

"Yes, master, you said before that ghost animals live in the depths of the earth. How can they be afraid of the wind on the ground? It seems a bit unreasonable! " I raise my own doubts.

Master was holding a pipe in his mouth, and he was smoking one mouthful at a time.

"If ghosts and animals are afraid of the wind, they don't need any ancient magic power to seal them. Just let them blow hard! So, the wind is really strange, and there must be some mystery in it! " The master said thoughtfully.

Ma Dongdong looked at his master and moved his lips, as if he had something to say.

The master glanced at him and sighed: "smelly boy, if you have anything to say, you and seventeen are all grown up by me. After all these years, what else do you and I need to hide?"

Master's words are equivalent to giving Ma Dongdong a peace of mind, so that he can finally say what he wants to say.

"Shiqi Shifu, i... in fact, I just want to ask, my mother was swept away by the hurricane, isn't it... Is it possible that she won't survive?"

His voice was a little hoarse, obviously worried.

After a moment's silence, the master took a hard puff of the dry tobacco in his hand and said, "I'll tell you the truth, smelly boy. Your mother has been schemed by those ghost animals and become their kind. It's very unlikely that she will come back again. What's more, ghost animals live in the depths of the earth all the year round, and the Yin Qi is so heavy that ordinary people like your mother can't bear it. What's more, now she has been taken away by unknown things. You have to be prepared. "

Ma Dongdong had a glimmer of hope in his mind, but when master said that, he was dejected.

"Although my mother likes to beat me, but... I really didn't think that one day she would leave me in such a way..."

"Ma Dongdong..."

I opened my mouth to comfort him, but he waved to me.

"Seventeen, I'm very clear about what you want to say. I'm... I'm ok. I'm just a little hard to accept for a while. I'll be fine in a few days."

He looked extremely depressed, as if he had lost the hope of life.

The atmosphere suddenly became silent.

I squatted on the side, I don't know what to say.

After all, not everyone can accept the loss of their mother.

"In fact, you should be glad." Master said in a deep voice.

Ma Dongdong was stunned for a moment. He turned his head and looked at it

"When I came in just now, your mother had completely become a ghost animal and was about to eat your father. I was worried at that time, but I didn't care so much. I threw something to attract your mother's attention. So your mom gave up eating your dad and started looking for me all over the house. Later, I had no place to hide, so I fought with it. " Master said slowly.

I frowned: "master, do you mean Ma Dongdong's father is still alive?"

"Still alive, in the inner room. In order to save him, Dabai and I almost lost our lives! After the stinky boy became a ghost animal, he was extremely fierce. Dabai and I only tied with him. Later, he played a trick and calculated me and Dabai. If I hadn't reacted quickly and held Dabai in time, we would have no bones left! "

At this point, the master coughed heavily, and his breath was obviously a little panting.

"Master, are you... Are you hurt?"

I used a flashlight to shine on the master and saw that his chest was full of blood. It was shocking.

"No... it's OK. Your master, I'm strong. I can't be killed by such a small injury!" The master replied.

I glared at him: "how old are you this year? You think you're a little boy? If you don't deal with this injury well, you will be killed if you get infected later! Ma Dongdong, let's not talk about the hurricane and your mother. You should go to the inner room, carry your father on your back, and then come back to my home together, so that I can bandage my master. "

Hearing what I said, Ma Dongdong didn't delay. He immediately went to his inner room and recited his father.

I also helped my master up from the ground, and with Dabai, several people limped home.

"I just remembered that there is another way to know if the stinky boy is still alive!" It seems that master suddenly realized.

As soon as these words came out, Ma Dongdong immediately became energetic.

If it wasn't for his father on his back, I think he would be able to jump off the ground.

"Master seventeen, is that true? Do you really have a way to know my mother's life? " He asked eagerly.

"It should be, but you have to let me take care of it first. Otherwise, when I look back and know your mother's life and death, I'm going to die! " The master answered with a puff of dry tobacco.

Ma Dongdong is still excited.

"As long as I can know my mother's life and death, I will wait as long as I can!"
