C53 (2/2)

A big grey mouse was coming out from the hole in the wall. He half squatted with his front paws on the ground, as if he was worshipping the elder.

Elder Bai's left eye was opened because of this.

The big mouse played with his forepaws, and from time to time he played with his whiskers. He was a stranger to this newly arrived poor old Taoist. He had never seen it before, but he didn't hate it. Therefore, whenever it left the cave, he would look at it for a while.

The old Daoist was finally an ”insightful person”. Every time he opened his eyes, he would give a thank-you greeting to this beast race friend of his.

In an instant, the White Elder's face was filled with smiles.

The childish air of a child was truly innocent. It was fortunate that the other party was only a mouse. If it was a person, it would be strange if that person did not consider him to be a madman or an old fart.

Look at the old Daoist's morals. He raised his eyebrows, winked, and was beaming with joy. Even his mouth began to move.

One man and one mouse, they acted like they were playing a mute. The big grey mouse was very interested in the show. With a ”gu gu gu” sound, its pointed cheeks constantly puffed out as it left.

After a while, it came out again.

This time, he brought another big grey mouse with him. He arched his front paws and spoke to Elder White again.

He said, ”This is what I want to introduce you to. He's my wife.”

Elder Bai winked at him and passed on his thoughts: ”Ah, that's great, but it doesn't look as big as you. It seems like you're a male, right?”

The mouse said, ”You guessed right. How did you know?”

Elder Bai winked and said, ”Just look at your beard. Also, your stomach is quite small.”

The male mouse said, ”You're really smart.”

Elder Bai said, ”Why does your wife look at me so foolishly?”

The male mouse said, ”He's scared.”

”Why?” Elder Bai said.

”Because …” ”It has suffered before from you humans, her father and father's father, who were killed by humans.”

”This is too unfortunate. Can you explain it more clearly?” Elder Bai said.

”That was done by a lame Taoist before you came here.” ”He has a cat,” said the male mouse indignantly.

”Ah, then no wonder. But what about cats?” Elder Bai said.

”Die …” The male mouse cackled, ”Those who are our enemies, be it humans or cats, will not have a good ending.”

”You mean to say, that lame Taoist also …” Elder Bai said.

”That's right, he caused the old man's death.”

”Old Rat Sore?” Elder Bai asked.

”My wife bit him on the big toe and he died.”

Elder Bai opened his eyes in surprise.

”You probably don't know yet.” ”My wife has poison in her teeth. Heh heh, maybe she ate too much arsenic.”

Elder Bai nodded and said, ”That's too scary.”

”But you don't have to be afraid.” ”You are a good man, and we shall be friends.”

”I hope so.” Elder Bai concentrated on using his mind, ”Let's talk about something else. Is your wife pregnant?”

”You really have a hand in this …” The male mouse said, ”I can't remember which baby she is in this time. Why are you talking about this? ”It's quite embarrassing.”

”Why not?” Elder Bai said.

”Alright, I wonder how many children there are left.” said the male mouse, ”but it's all gone! In the end, it's just the two of us here. ”

Suddenly, the big rat man stood up. ”I have to go, someone is coming.”

The mother and the two mice looked on for a while, then ran away like a wisp of smoke.

Elder Bai also noticed it.

He sighed as he thought about it. After all, rats were better than humans at observing others. Even with his decades of experience in facing the wall, his hearing ability was still inferior to theirs.

Ever since Elder Bai had come to live in this side chamber, other than the Young Sect Master, Shi Yun, no one else had entered.

The footsteps of the person in front of him were quite far away, but Elder Bai could be sure that this person was heading in this direction. Other than this side hall, there were no other buildings. Thus, the person must have given up on this direction.

Elder Bai was still maintaining this sleeping posture.

Sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, he rested his head like a squatting shrimp. His white hair fell down like the clouds. In the dim light, the image of the underground was actually so desolate.

The White Elder was almost certain that this person was already outside the palace walls. Why would he only be spying and not rushing in? This made everyone even more puzzled.

”Phew …” A loud sound was heard.

There seemed to be a slight gust of wind in his ears.

Elder Bai didn't need to open his eyes to know that the person had gone up the wall. Then, the same ”Hu!” A sound that could prove the opponent was floating down. Although the sound came from far away, Elder Bai could hear it clearly.

From the sound of his footsteps, Elder Bai could already determine that this person was definitely not the Young Sect Master Shi Yun. In fact, this person was not one of the people from the Southern Mountain Range.

That was strange.

Elder Bai habitually opened one eye.

Elder Bai saw a thin figure looking at him from afar. This person had never taken a step inside the wall since he had appeared. He was indeed cautious. What was he afraid of?

Those who had already arrived were here for him.

After looking around for a while, this person finally could not help but step forward.
