C11 (1/2)
Seeing me like this.
Grandma came over with a pained look. ”Child, what's wrong with you? Get up quickly.”
I couldn't get up and couldn't say a word. I just took out the note and showed it to my grandmother.
I don't know what it says.
Grandmother looked at me and I saw a complicated expression on her face …
Realizing that the situation might not be looking good, I reached out and took the note back.
In the lamplight, I looked at the note and was shocked.
The note was found on the butcher, so the person who wrote the note was naturally the butcher.
He warned me on the paper slip, ”Little boy, don't trust anyone, including your loved ones. I won't be able to help you in the future. Only Great Immortal Li can help you with your troubles, and only he can bury me. No one else can …” Next was an address. It was probably the location of Great Immortal Li.
There weren't many messages.
From the creases and creases on the slip of paper, it could be seen that the butcher had written it down long ago and had carried it with him.
In other words, Butcher Liu had already known that he would die? That was why he had prepared this note in advance.
The note mentioned a person called Great Immortal Li.
It could be seen that Butcher Liu respected Great Immortal Li a lot, and he also approved of his abilities.
But there's one thing I can't see through.
Since Butcher Liu already knew that he could not solve this problem, why didn't he tell me to look for Great Deity Li at the start and then tell me about Great Deity Li only after he was unable to hold on and died? Did he have another story to hide from me?
As I finished the note.
To be honest, at this moment, I couldn't even believe what Butcher Liu was saying.
”Grandma, what do you think?” Butcher Liu's intention was very simple. He wanted me to find this Great Deity Li.
However, it's hard to say what kind of person Great Immortal Li is. Thus, at this moment, I can only ask Grandma.
Grandma didn't say much, she only nodded. She didn't know what the meaning was.
”Grandma, do you mean to go or not?” I asked, puzzled.
”Do as he says.” Grandma said very seriously.
For a moment, I don't know why my grandmother was so obedient to Butcher Liu's words.
However, I soon understood that for the past few days, the trouble that we have been going through was dealt with by Butcher Liu.
Thus, at this critical juncture, we naturally have no reason to doubt the words of Butcher Liu.
Thinking of this, I immediately wanted to stand up from the ground.
Gran asked me, ”What are you doing?”
I gritted my teeth and said, ”We're going to find Great Immortal Li.” I pinched the slip of paper in my hand. There was the address of Great Deity Li on it. At this moment, this wasn't just a simple slip of paper, but the lifeline of our family.
Grandma looked at the sky. It was already past ten in the evening.
That night, I didn't even eat. I spent the whole night running back and forth.
Grandma sighed and said, ”Alright, child, quickly eat some food and then go to rest. If there's anything you need, we'll talk about it tomorrow.”
I really can't hold on any longer. Even if my grandma didn't say that, I would probably be too tired to walk halfway.
I didn't have any intention of continuing to try to be brave. I supported myself with the wall to the kitchen and ate a simple meal. I hastily washed up by the well in the courtyard before returning to my own residence.
I was so tired that I almost collapsed.
But I couldn't sleep.
Because the moment I close my eyes, I will hear that evil voice saying in my ear, ”I want to play you to death, play you to death …”
Every time when I was about to fall asleep, this sound would appear in my ears like a single loop. I was so shocked that I immediately woke up …
However, my body couldn't take it anymore. After waking up from the shock a few times, I became numb and finally fell asleep.
This is the most comfortable sleep I've had in the past few days.
Although he had nightmares, he finally recovered his exhausted body.
The next morning, my grandmother prepared a meal. After filling my stomach, I left in the dark.
Because it was dawn, although it was a black dot, it did not seem to have a frightening feeling.
I followed the address on the slip of paper and easily found the old man's residence.
The old man was on his way to a Taoist temple called the Heavenly Palace.
Great Immortal Li was this person's nickname. Because his methods were brilliant, he had the ability to do whatever he wanted, so everyone was more used to calling him Great Immortal Li.
When I came to the Taoist temple, a boy at the door stopped me and asked me what I was here for.
I was stunned, this is the first time I've seen such a grand daoist.
”I …” I stammered, not knowing what to say.
The little Daoist reminded me, ”Almsgiver, I don't think you're here to ask for an autograph or ask for medicine. Besides, you can't be here to ask about marriage, can you?”
What the hell!
When this little Taoist opened his mouth, I almost bit my tongue off. Does this old lady look like a girl?
