Celestial Masters Alliance

The eldest grandma paused, then shook her head as she packed up the three bells and handed them to the wood.

Mu Mu picked up the bell given by the old monk alone and asked, "What does the pattern on this one mean?"

"It's fire!" Grandma's voice suddenly became tired, and her face seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

"Grandma, does she know whose family is responsible for keeping this bell?" Mu Mu continued to ask.

The eldest grandma's eyes dimmed for a moment before she shook her head. It was obvious that she knew, she also knew the old monk, and even knew who the person the old monk was talking about was. But why not tell us?

"I'm tired, you go back and rest!" The grandma waved her hands laboriously, as if completing this action took all her energy.

Mu Mu stood up, glanced at me and suddenly asked: "Grandma, does she know who delivered Zhu Mo when she was born?"

This sudden question made me stunned. I stared at the grandma nervously. She was obviously panicked and replied with trembling lips: "Why do you suddenly think of asking this?"

Mu Mu smiled and looked at me and said, "My aunt got Zhu Mo's birth time wrong! She mistook the dark time in the south for the dark time in the north, and there is a difference of several hours!"

The eldest grandma breathed a sigh of relief, but her eyes avoided ours and said: "Grandma Mo'er said it was after ten o'clock, which is the time when Mo'er's father pinches you. You were both born in the hospital. Grandma Mo'er and I are waiting for the news at home. ! I didn’t get to see you the first time!”

"That means I am the elder brother, because I was born at nine o'clock!" Mu Mu smiled a little proudly.

But I knew this was not his intention, so I tried my best to cooperate: "Okay, I will call you brother from now on!"

The eldest grandma stood up and grabbed our hands, and said with a solemn expression: "Promise grandma, you two will help each other no matter where you go, and remember that you two are the closest relatives in the world!"

The eldest grandma's behavior before was extremely restrained, and you wouldn't be able to find any clues without trying to figure it out. However, now, her eager eyes look nothing like the calm and leisurely old man I usually know.

"We know!" Mu Mu looked at me and answered first.

Grandma held my hand tightly, and I realized what I was doing and quickly replied: "No matter what happens, we will always support each other!"

After hearing this answer, the eldest grandma let go of our hands with relief, walked tiredly to the bed and sat down and said: "Good children, go back and rest!"

I said good night to Mu Mu before exiting the room.

Mu Mu gently pulled me to the living room, lowered his voice and whispered softly: "I think grandma has hidden a lot of things from us!"

"You just asked me about my birth time on purpose!" I leaned against the wall and looked at the wood hidden in the darkness with my eyes wide open.

"Yeah! Take advantage of him when he's not prepared! But it's hard for grandma to talk nonsense!" Although I couldn't see the wood, I could feel his sadness. If it weren't for the fact that he had no other choice, he wouldn't talk to grandma. .

"As for the time of my birth, there are too many versions! My grandma told me when I was a child that the whole family was in the hospital when we were born, including my eldest grandma, and she even saved my life!"

"Why are you lying about this matter? Also, grandma obviously knows the monk who gave you the bell..." He stopped suddenly and rubbed his face vigorously with both hands.

I sighed, hooked my arm around his neck in the dark and whispered, "Go back and rest!" Mu Mu said no more and allowed me to hook him back to the room.

Xiaodao had already gone to bed and was playing with his cell phone next to the wall. When he saw me coming in, he lazily raised his eyes and glanced at me. He pretended to be casual and said, "Your phone has been ringing just now."

I guess he had already looked at my phone, smiled and cursed: "Stop pretending, who is calling?"

Xiaoba glanced at the wood, sat up and said, "Who else is there? Shan Yu."

Mumu didn't respond, and didn't seem to want to discuss the issue. He put away the bell and started to take off his clothes and get ready for bed. I was a little confused. Shan Yu called me at this time, most likely to ask about tomorrow's arrangements.

Mu Mu finished taking off his clothes and lay down beside the bed as usual. Upon seeing this, Xiaoba shrugged his shoulders, lay down and covered himself with the quilt. I also took off my coat, turned off the light, crossed the wood and lay in the middle of the bed. In my memory, this bed once slept four people: me, Mu Mu, Bai Xue, and Huang Xiao. But now that we have grown up, it seems too crowded to sleep three people.

Everyone on the left and right is my brother. Today I saw with my own eyes that Shan Yu is not just dating me. The people she associates with are likely to follow us and cause danger to us. Shan Yu is here for me and should not be involved. my brother.

Just as he was about to speak, Mu Mu spoke first with his back to me: "Take her with you!"

I was a little shocked. This was a gamble with the lives of the three of us. Even if there were no external factors, it was already very dangerous for the three of us to go down the tree hole.

"I think so. If we don't bring it with us, they already know our plan, and they might come to force us. There are only three of us, and you are locals. What if they capture the grandma and threaten us? Bring us with you. With Shan Yu by her side, she has insurance, at least she will stop them from doing something excessive for the sake of my brother!"

can you? I asked in my heart, of course I hope Shan Yu has feelings for me, but that is just hope. If it was a conspiracy from the beginning, would I dare to bet on it with my feelings?

"Don't leave room for fantasy, and don't leave yourself the chance to regret!" Mu Mu said quietly.

I knew what he was talking about was not the same thing as Xiaoba. He was comparing what happened in his family to me. I was a little touched. The wood tore apart my inner world to warn me, just to make me give up completely and leave no regrets.

I put my cold feet into the wooden quilt and pressed them against his warm thighs. Mu Mu was so excited that he sat up, looked at me and cursed loudly: "You are looking for death!"

I pulled him with a smile: "It's very cold, lie down quickly. The snowball is making me a little cold, can't you warm me up?"

Even through the darkness, I knew he was rolling his eyes at me. Xiaodao leaned forward and said, "It will keep warm if we all squeeze together." He also squeezed over.

I pulled the wood again and said, "I fell in love today, come and warm my injured little heart."

The trumpet leaned behind me and hissed like a leaky pressure cooker. Mumu struggled for a while, then lay down and said dullly: "Don't push me off the ground, or I'll beat you two to death."

After he lay down, I pushed my cold hands into his bed and pressed them against his back. I sighed angrily, but I felt happy.

"I ordered a cart of coal and a cart of charcoal from the coal factory. They will be delivered tomorrow morning. You have to help unload the truck and stack it in the yard!" Mu Mu whispered.

"Of course I have to help with the work when I get back. Just get up early!" Xiaoba immediately agreed.

"Well! We haven't prepared any bait yet. In this kind of weather, ordinary snakes and rats are hibernating, but the animals under the tree holes are not ordinary animals."

"Brother only has Shan Yu in his heart. Now that he's broken up in love, he only thinks of practical issues." Xiaoba leaned against me and joked. I immediately hit him back and pinched him. Xiaobao screamed: "When Brother Mu and I went to buy firecrackers, we ordered five rolls of mutton and six live chickens from the restaurant next to the store."

"We can only find so many during the Chinese New Year." Mu Mu turned around and faced me and said.

"That's enough! I don't know if I can use it yet!" I lay down and looked at the dark roof, sighing at the wood's thoughtfulness and comforting me.

"By the way, have you told grandma that we are going out?" Xiaoba asked.

"Leave this kind of nonsense to Mu Mu, he can do it better than you!" I poked Mu Mu with my elbow.

"Go to sleep! There are a lot of things to be busy with tomorrow!" Mu Mu sighed softly.

I silently took out my mobile phone from under the pillow, thought for a long time, then opened the text message and typed on it: I will leave tomorrow as originally planned. I turned the phone to Mu Mu to show him what I had typed. Mu Mu glanced at it and said softly: "Night!"

I took my phone back and revised it: I’ll leave tomorrow night.
