It was getting dark, but Shifu’s body gradually became stiff. His eyes still did not open. All the debris has already been moved away by the golden pagoda. At the horizon of the red sunset appeared the figure of the white crow, as well Xiaolin, Jin Wen and the rest of them that came riding the Kirin Beast. When they saw the appearance of Bi Qingshen Jun, they all became like Mo’lin, teary eyed and silent.
The cold breeze shook the still tree branches. The precocious cicadas occasionally whistled a few times. And then all would become silent again, surrounded by the lonely dust.
“Xiaolin, aren’t you usually the one with a method to everything? Save Shifu, Miao Miao won’t ever bother you again, and won’t ever break stuff, so please…..think of a way…..” I looked at Xiaolin with prayers, his expression appearing somewhat obscure.
Xiaolin turned his head and didn’t look at me.
“Jin Wen, don’t you always say you can do everything? Please, I beg of you, save Shifu. Miao Miao won’t steal food anymore. I promise to not touch your flowers. I swear that I will keep my promises this time…..I definitely won’t lie!” I turned around and held Jin Wen’s hands.
Jin Wen let out a ‘wah’ and then started crying, she rushed into Mo’lin’s arms and didn’t look back.
I quickly turned around and saw Wawa, so I hastily grabbed her hands and asked, “Wawa, you never tell lies, can you tell me, can Shifu be saved? He didn’t die, he didn’t!”
Wawa lowered her head and tears streamed down her cheeks.
“Yin Zi…..you care about me the most…..so please, I beg you, can’t you help me? Just this time…..Miao Miao will listen to you and be obedient in the future, I won’t cause any trouble for you…..” I looked at the white crow, my throat was sore, so sore I could no longer say anymore. Everything in front of me became increasingly blurry, I couldn’t see Yin Zi’s face, as if my eyes were covered in a veil of water.
