In the house next to the Horse Washing Bridge, Old Ma looked a bit restless. He was sitting on the edge of the bed in the bedroom, and on the bed, White Lotus was still lying there with her eyes closed. Close by, the green chain on her neck was still shining.
The house was very quiet, the door was unlatched, and the window was half open. From there, he could see the scenery of the courtyard. From where Old Ma was sitting, he could see the Black Dog lying under the big tree in the courtyard. It had a lazy and bored look, and its eyes were slightly closed, as if it was going to fall asleep soon.
Old Ma felt a bit nervous, he thought that it was mostly because of the importance of the tree branch. As for other things, it was quiet here, there was nothing worth being vigilant about. As for White Lotus, he subconsciously looked down. The beautiful young girl looked like a flower that was about to wither.
His hand that was reaching for the branch paused slightly in midair. Finally, he clenched his teeth and touched it. His somewhat stubby fingers reached into the soft green light, causing his body to slightly tremble.
But after pausing for a moment, nothing unexpected happened. Old Ma looked at White Lotus, frowned, and then used his fingers to lightly grab the branch.
When he touched the skin, he felt a cool water like chill pass through his fingertips. It wasn't a very stimulating kind of cold, just a feeling that was a bit colder than the temperature of water.
Even so, wearing this kind of necklace would definitely not be comfortable, unless one had an innate cold resistance, or if one's cultivation was too high and long ago ignored this little bit of cold.
Old Ma used his fingers to gently stroke the lifelike branch a few times. After a moment of silence, his eyes flashed, and he looked down again. White Lotus was still lying there motionless like before, as if she was no longer a threat to him. Everything here was decided by him alone. The light in the depths of his eyes suddenly flourished, as if he had made up his mind. His body slightly leaned forward, and just as he was about to do something …
"Woof!"
Suddenly, a cry fiercely broke the silence in the bedroom. Even though it didn't sound loud, but in this silence, it was like a sudden clap of thunder, a clap of thunder in the clear sky!
Old Ma's body violently trembled, and he staggered, almost falling down. If he hadn't instinctively stretched out his hand to support himself on the bed, he would have been so scared that he would have directly thrown himself onto White Lotus's body.
Even so, his unintentional forward movement almost touched White Lotus's body. His face was only a little distance away from White Lotus's face. This really made Old Ma's heart almost jump out of his chest. But luckily, White Lotus still didn't seem to have any signs of waking up, or else this situation would be really too embarrassing.
A delicate fragrance from the young girl drifted into Old Horse's nose. It was like an orchid deep in the mountains. Although it was quiet and plain, its fragrance was distant and could stir one's heart. For a moment, Old Ma's gaze actually froze for a moment. He had never looked at a girl at such a close distance, not to mention White Lotus, who was so beautiful that she was even qualified to be the first in a thousand-year-old family like the Kunlun Party.
She was supposed to be a high and unattainable woman like a snow lotus, but suddenly, it was as if she was right under his body and close at hand.
Old Ma was a little dazed, and his mind suddenly became a little chaotic and blank. He actually forgot what he wanted to do before, and even forgot why the current situation had become like this. But fortunately, although his mind was temporarily confused and confused, there was a dog in the room whose mind was ten times clearer than his.
The Black Dog, who was not the slightest bit affected by the temptation of beauty, saw Old Ma's inexplicable loss of self-control. After the initial surprise and doubt, it quickly ran over, stood beside the bed, and loudly barked into Old Ma's ear.
Old Ma's body trembled, and he cried out in alarm. This time, he was quite frightened, but not entirely out of fear. There was also an inexplicable sense of shame. His body slanted a little, and he jumped up. He took two steps back, and then looked at Atsu angrily and said, "You stupid dog, what are you doing?" "You stupid dog, what are you doing?"
Atsu glanced at Old Ma and did not say anything, but the way it looked at Old Ma looked a little strange.
Old Horse was not Lu Chen. He did not know the dog as well as Lu Chen did. He could completely understand what the dog meant without saying a word. Therefore, after mumbling a few words, Old Horse still walked over. But this time, he did not dare to do anything more. After a moment of silence, he said to Atsu, "I have a use for that chain."
Atsu looked at him, not knowing if it was difficult to determine what he was thinking, but in the end, it still stepped back.
Old Ma secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then walked to White Lotus. After calming down, this time, without hesitation, he reached out and directly grabbed the chain on White Lotus's neck. Then, with a low groan, he exerted force in his hand, and with a snap, the chain broke.
He pulled the branch necklace off White Lotus's neck.
…
When Lu Chen walked to the house at Xi Ma Qiao, he heard Atsu's call from the door. It seemed that they were really here. Lu Chen's heart was relieved. Walking all the way from the door to the backyard, Lu Chen immediately saw Old Ma coming out from the bedroom, and at the same time, Atsu followed behind him.
Lu Chen walked over and shouted, "Old Ma, how is White Lotus?"
At first, Old Ma seemed to be preoccupied and lost in thought. He didn't even notice Lu Chen's figure appearing on the other side of the yard. Until Lu Chen came over and shouted, Old Ma was suddenly startled. His body shook, and he looked up to see Lu Chen. His face showed a bit of shock and a slightly panicked expression, "Ah, why did you come so quickly?"
"Quickly?" Lu Chen asked with a little doubt, and said, "It's okay. How is White Lotus?"
Old Ma hesitated for a moment, turned around and pointed to the bedroom, and said, "She hasn't woken up yet, she is lying on the bed."
"En." Lu Chen nodded, walked over and patted Old Ma's shoulder, and said casually, "I will go in and see her. This time, thanks to you for saving her life. When she wakes up, you have to ask her to repay you. "
Old Ma was startled, and said, "Repay what?"
Lu Chen looked at him strangely, and said, "Anything, you can say whatever you want to say. Also, you won't really say anything excessive to her, will you? "
Old Ma thought for a moment, and said, "No."
Lu Chen laughed, and walked into the bedroom. Behind him, Old Ma looked at his back with a complicated expression, while the Black Dog stood at the side, looking at Old Ma, and then at Lu Chen, not saying a word. No one knew what the dog was thinking.
Lu Chen walked into the room, and immediately saw White Lotus. Then he thought of the troubles he had worried about before, and then his eyes moved down slightly, looking at White Lotus's neck …
