The bright moon hangs in the autumn sky, moistened with dew.
In the dead of night, I dreamed back at midnight. At that time last night, Dao Huo'er came again.
The little girl stepped on the edge of the well playfully, walking unsteadily and said: "How is it? Is it as you wish?"
I grabbed the candy I had prepared in advance and offered it flatteringly: "Awesome, you are worthy of being a senior sister from the inner sect, and you will do what you say."
Dao Huo'er flicked his ponytail and said happily: "You owed me seven candies last night, plus the ten candies tonight, you have to give me seventeen candies."
"Well, as promised, we can't lie."
"In addition to the orange flavor, I also want another box of chocolate flavor."
I immediately returned to the dormitory, mixed the two candies, and handed them over again: "You order, seventeen, one is a lot."
The girl who was as cute and smart as a porcelain doll grabbed the candies, stuffed them into her sleeves, and said happily: "How many more do you have?"
I squatted by the well and replied honestly: "Seventy or eighty."
Dao Huo'er spread out his chubby little hands and calculated gracefully: "Ten pills a day, I can still eat them for a week."
"Oh, it's only been a week."
"No, no, you go buy some more and make sure you have them every night."
I laughed dryly and said, "Eating too much sugar is not good, it will cause tooth decay."
"The handyman disciples take family leave every three months and cannot go down the mountain on weekdays."
"If this doesn't work, I'll ask someone to bring you some, and you can hide it and eat it slowly?"
Dao Huo'er's eyes flashed and he jumped down from the edge of the well, looking very excited.
But soon, she said dejectedly: "It probably won't work. If an old drunkard finds out, he will confiscate everything."
"When you live under someone else's roof, you have to act based on their appearance."
"Moreover, he does do it for my own good."
I squinted my eyes and pondered, knowingly asking: "Old drunkard? Is this person very powerful?"
Dao Huo'er peeled off a piece of candy and stuffed it into his mouth. He lowered his head and played with the candy wrapper and said, "It's just so so. It's about the same as Old Man Huai. You can't beat me anyway."
I "made suggestions" and said, "You are an inner disciple, you can go down the mountain anytime and anywhere."
"There are many supermarkets in the town at the foot of the mountain, and there are countless candies."
"You ate it secretly without anyone noticing."
"God knows and earth knows, you know, but the old drunkard, there is no way he will know."
Dao Huo'er kicked the pebbles boredly and said, "I also want to go down the mountain and see the outside world."
"But I have something in the hands of an old drunkard. He takes advantage of my shortcomings and doesn't allow me to go down the mountain."
"Well, it's like..."
She picked up a dead branch, drew a circle on the dirt, and described it: "Look, Daomen is the circle, and I am the pebble in the circle."
"I'm stuck in a trap and there's no way I can get out without anyone to help me."
"Restricted by the rules, I am actually in the same situation as Lao Huaishu."
I snickered secretly, this girl must have let something slip by accident.
He accidentally revealed the true identity of the one-eyed old man.
Old locust tree, old locust tree, let me see, that guy is totally an old fox.
Shameless, cunning, and despicable.
Dao Huo'er obviously didn't realize the flaw in his words, and continued: "I just want to get away. Old man Huai is bound by a bet, and the ground is a prison."
"Eight years ago, he made a bet with an old drunkard. If he won, he would go down the mountain, and if he lost, he would stay in the Taoist sect."
"As a result, as you saw, Old Man Huai lost and hid in the labor yard, eating and waiting to die."
“I study everywhere with a broken notebook every day, but it’s useless.”
I seemed to understand what I heard and asked, "If the old drunkard can't defeat you, you can take back the advantage. Isn't this easy?"
Dao Huo'er stopped talking, slapped the candy wrapper on my face, and chuckled: "You won't understand. You, a little handyman disciple, are too far away from our height."
"Well, it's one hundred and eight thousand miles away."
"Even though I look young, I'm actually older than you."
"A few hundred years older..."
I put on a skeptical attitude and said unconvinced, "I also have a chance to become an inner disciple."
Dao Huo'er looked me up and down, suppressing a smile and said, "What next?"
I said nonsensically in a serious tone: "When I become an inner disciple, I will help you and help you escape from the Taoist sect."
