Chapter 407 Xiaoyun's Responsibility
A few days later, the neighbors of the courtyard helped bury the woman, and Xiaoyun officially became Su Ming's responsibility. Su Ming knew that he not only had to take good care of the little girl, but also had to continue looking for the key to time and space.
Every morning, Su Ming would take Xiao Yun to the nearby market to buy some daily necessities. Xiao Yun gradually came out of her sadness and began to rely on Su Ming. She knew that Su Ming was her only relative and her only support.
One day, Su Ming and Xiao Yun were walking in the market when they suddenly saw a familiar figure. It was a tall, serious-looking middle-aged man, with a look of power that could not be ignored. Su Ming's heart moved, thinking that this person might be able to provide him with some clues.
"Excuse me, who are you..." Su Ming walked forward and asked politely.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "My name is Zhang Yong, and I am a scholar here. What can I do for you?" "Mr. Zhang, I am researching something about the key to time and space. Do you have any relevant information or clues?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Zhang Yong's eyes, and then he nodded: "The key to time and space? This is not an ordinary thing. Come with me, I will take you to a place."
Su Ming brought Xiao Yun and followed Zhang Yong to an ancient study room. The study room was filled with various ancient books and manuscripts, as if it was an ocean of knowledge. Zhang Yong took a few books from the bookshelf and handed them to Su Ming.
"In these books, there are some records about the keys of time and space. You can find some clues from them." Zhang Yong said.
Su Ming took the book and said gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang. This is very important to me."
Zhang Yong nodded and said deeply: It’s not just a key, you have to explore your heart, “I understand.”
Zhang Yong patted Su Ming on the shoulder: "Young man, remember,"
Su Ming brought the books and Xiaoyun back to the courtyard and started a new research. He read the ancient books carefully every day, trying to find more clues. Xiaoyun accompanied him silently and occasionally helped him organize the books.
One night, Su Ming found a special record in the book: "Hidden deep in the soul," this sentence made Su Ming fall into deep thought.
He closed his eyes and began to meditate, trying to find the key through inner exploration. As his meditation deepened, he felt a powerful force surging in his body, as if it was guiding him to somewhere.
Su Ming followed this feeling and came to the backyard of the courtyard. He stood beside the ancient well in the courtyard and felt an inexplicable attraction. He looked down at the bottom of the well and vaguely saw a stone shining at the bottom of the well.
He carefully used a rope to fish the stone out and found that it was engraved with complicated runes. Su Ming felt his heartbeat quicken.
He took the stone back to the house and studied the runes carefully. The arrangement of the runes was exactly the same as that in the book. This stone might be the key to opening the door of time and space. Su Ming decided to take the stone to Zhang Yong, hoping to get more explanations and guidance from him. When Zhang Yong saw the stone, a trace of surprise and relief flashed in his eyes.
"The rune on this stone is indeed part of the key to time and space." Zhang Yong said, "You need to find the other parts to truly open the door of time and space. Determined to continue looking for clues to other parts. They would think of Zhang Yong's words,
Time passed quietly during Su Ming's exploration. In his dream,
Su Ming decided to take Xiao Yun with him to the stone tower. They experienced many difficulties and challenges along the way, but they never gave up. Whenever they felt tired, they would encourage each other and cheer up again.
Finally, they arrived in front of the stone tower. The stone tower was ancient and majestic, as if telling the vicissitudes of time. Su Ming felt excited in his heart, he knew that he was not far from his goal.
They walked into the stone tower and found that the walls were covered with complex runes. These runes were exactly the same as what Su Ming had seen before.
Su Ming carefully observed the runes and gradually discovered the patterns in them. He took out the stone and placed it in the middle of the runes. He instantly felt a strong energy surging in his body. A ray of light suddenly appeared in the center of the stone tower, as if it was a door to an unknown world. He knew that he had found the entrance to the key to time and space. Holding Xiaoyun's hand, he bravely walked towards the light. He knew that although the road ahead was full of unknowns and challenges, as long as they kept their hearts pure and firm, they would eventually find their way home.
As they walked, the light became brighter and brighter, and a familiar and warm voice came to their ears: Su Ming. Su Ming found himself and Xiao Yun standing in a strange yet familiar world. This world was completely different from the world they had before.
Just as they were about to explore further, "Su Ming, Xiao Yun, you are finally back." Su Ming and Xiao Yun replied
"Su Ming, I'm afraid that Mom won't make it through tonight. From now on, it's up to you to take care of your sister!"
"Su Ming,"
Su Ming felt heartbroken when he heard his mother's weak words. He held his mother's hand tightly, tears welling up in his eyes: "Mom, don't say that, you will definitely get better."
The mother shook her head, her eyes full of reluctance and love: "Xiaoming, you have to be strong. Mom knows that you have a lot of things in your heart, but taking good care of Xiaoyun is the most important thing."
Su Ming nodded, and finally couldn't hold back his tears and shed them: "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Xiaoyun."
The mother smiled, closed her eyes, and her breathing became weaker and weaker. Xiaoyun stood aside, her eyes full of tears and fear, grabbing the corner of Su Ming's clothes, not knowing how to face this sudden change. Su Ming and Xiaoyun stayed by their mother's side until she left this world peacefully. The neighbors in the courtyard came to help bury his mother, and Su Ming thanked them gratefully. Everyone cast sympathetic and caring eyes on him and Xiaoyun, which made Su Ming feel a little warm.
From that day on, Su Ming took on the responsibility of taking care of Xiaoyun. He got up early every day, prepared breakfast for Xiaoyun, sent her to a nearby school, and then continued to look for clues to the key to time and space. Xiaoyun began to rely on Su Ming and slowly adapted to her new life with his help.
One day, Su Ming took Xiao Yun to the market to buy some daily necessities. The market was bustling with people coming and going, and various hawking sounds were heard one after another. Xiao Yun held Su Ming's hand tightly, her eyes full of curiosity.
"Brother, it's so lively here!" Xiaoyun said excitedly.
Su Ming smiled and nodded: "Yes, Xiaoyun. Let's buy some vegetables and make your favorite braised pork for you in the evening."
