Chapter 606 - 606 Leading Evil
606 Leading Evil
Little Niu was very happy that Elder Niu’s condition had improved.
What he was most afraid of was losing his master. Now that everything was going well, he felt at ease.
As for his life, he actually didn’t care much and wasn’t afraid. As long as Master was around, he would be open-minded. As for the next twelve years, he would just let nature take its course. As long as Master was around, he could let go of anything.
“I don’t want this, this, and this.”!!
Old Wu’s harsh voice sounded, and right on the heels of that, something was thrown out.
Little Niu smiled and went to pick it up. He fumbled around and picked it up. Then, he went to the side of the medicinal stove and carefully placed it one by one.
Su Xiaolu frowned. She felt that after not seeing him for a few days, Little Niu seemed to be about to become blind.
Wang Mian noticed that Little Niu’s vision wasn’t very good. He immediately rushed over. “Young Patron, let me help you. I love doing good deeds to accumulate merit. In the past, I suffered retribution because I did too many bad things. Please don’t reject me and give me a chance to turn over a new leaf.”
Little Niu didn’t want to be helped, but Wang Mian kept talking non-stop and started to tell Little Niu about the bad things he had done.
Little Niu sighed and didn’t reject him. It was a good thing for him to be able to help others.
Everyone has a chance to turn over a new leaf.
Su Xiaolu only frowned and turned to go into the house.
Old Wu was picking and choosing. His eyelids twitched. “You’re back.”
Su Xiaolu walked to Old Wu’s side. “Master, how have you been these past few days?”
Old Wu paused. “It went quite smoothly.”
Su Xiaolu wanted to ask about Little Niu, but Old Wu sighed. “Don’t ask too much. That Old Niu is pretending to be confused. He didn’t even tell me. Only he knows about Little Niu’s condition.”
No one knew what Elder Niu was thinking.
As they watched, they felt that there was no longer any danger. They could even use this method to keep helping master and disciple, but things were clearly not that simple.
Su Xiaolu pondered for a moment and did not ask further.
She went out to check on Elder Niu.
Outside the straw shed, Wang Mian was brewing medicine. When he saw Su Xiaolu, he smiled obsequiously. “After doing so many evil things, I’m only thinking about accumulating merit now. I hope it’s not too late.”
Su Xiaolu ignored him and went into the straw shed.
Little Niu stayed by the bed silently.
Elder Niu looked at him kindly and lovingly. When he saw Su Xiaolu, Elder Niu smiled at her. “Girl, you’re back.”
“Uncle-Master, how are you feeling?”
Su Xiaolu sat down on the straw bed and asked softly as she reached out to check Elder Niu’s pulse.
Elder Niu smiled. “I’m fine.”
Su Xiaolu looked at Elder Niu. Elder Niu was smiling and kind. Su Xiaolu felt that he knew everything.
“Girl, a guest is here. If you meet him, invite him in. Little Niu is being stubborn.”
Elder Niu said gently to Su Xiaolu.
Little Niu remained silent.
Su Xiaolu nodded. “Alright, Uncle-Master. If I meet him, I’ll invite him over.”
Elder Niu smiled, as if he had already accepted his ending.
He said that he was fine, but in fact, his body was not. His body was failing, and he was like a lamp that had run out of oil. No medicine was useful. His body was broken, and nothing could be repaired. He was like a funnel that could not be filled no matter how much water was poured in.
Elder Niu did not have much time left.
Little Niu got up and went out.
His mind didn’t seem to work so well anymore. He used the walking stick, but he still stumbled. This was different from Little Niu in the past. This time, he really couldn’t see.
He could not feel anything.
After he left, Elder Niu sighed faintly. “Girl, I’ve taken care of Xiao Niu since he was born. He’s extremely intelligent and compassionate. He can bring me hope. Perhaps in the future, as long as our sect is upright, we won’t have to bear the pain of the five ills and three shortcomings.”
“He had to go through too many hardships in his life. I led him for twelve years, and he was always alone.”
“Now that I’m leaving, the evil in his heart has been drawn out. I still have one last thing to do. I still need your help.”
Elder Niu looked at Su Xiaolu, calm and peaceful.
“Uncle-Master, tell me. I’ll help Junior Brother. In the future, he’ll be my family. I want a younger brother. He won’t be lonely in the future.”
Su Xiaolu said seriously.
Elder Niu smiled. “Girl, during this period of time, follow Little Niu. If he wants to do something wrong, don’t stop him. As long as he wants to do it, he can do anything.”
Su Xiaolu was a little confused. She felt a little puzzled and could not quite understand what this meant.
Elder Niu’s smile was kind but profound.
However, Su Xiaolu did not ask further. She thought that since Uncle-Master Niu loved her Junior Brother so much, he would not harm him.
Elder Niu looked a little tired. Su Xiaolu stood up and quietly left.
Wang Mian was still brewing medicine when Su Xiaolu walked over and asked him, “Have you seen my Junior Brother?”
Wang Mian immediately pointed. “He went that way. I wanted to follow him, but I can’t leave this here.”
Su Xiaolu chased in the direction Wang Mian pointed.
She searched for a while before she found Little Niu, but there was someone else beside him.
Su Xiaolu hid in the dark and watched. That person was actually Father Xiao. What was he doing here? Su Xiaolu released her five senses and listened to them.
When Father Xiao saw Little Niu, he revealed various expressions of relief and guilt. He kept apologizing to Little Niu. “My son, I know I made a mistake. I was blind in the past and mistook that poisonous heart for a good thing.”
“Son, I really regret it. Can you forgive me? Can you think of a way to save me?”
Little Niu held the blind cane and walked into the distance. Father Xiao followed as he spoke.
Father Xiao felt guilty and anxious. He probed, “Good child, can you ask your Master to help me? I really have no way to deal with that vicious woman. Those family assets should be yours. I’m really ashamed. Those are the assets of your mother and her clan. I only want to protect them now. As long as you can help, I will definitely turn over a new leaf and recite sutras for your mother every day for the rest of my life.”
Little Niu paused in his steps. “Have you really repented? As long as I can forgive you, you’re willing to do anything?”
Hearing that Little Niu was finally paying attention to him, Father Xiao nodded repeatedly. “Yes.”
He could still show his loyalty. He didn’t want to listen to Miao Yuehua and harm Little Niu, but he also didn’t want to be manipulated by Miao Yuehua. However, how could he win against someone like Miao Yuehua?
Thinking that Little Niu’s Master was so powerful, he counted on him. To deal with someone like Miao Yuehua, he had to find someone who was equally capable. That old Daoist must be quite capable to be able to raise Little Niu up.
