It was late at night, and only Meng San'er and I were left in the store, and the boss didn't pay attention to the two of us.

"Brother San'er, let's change places, it's estimated that it will be closed here. ”

"Good. "Meng San'er and I walked side by side on the sparsely populated streets late at night.

"Brother San'er, how old were you at that time?"

"I was younger than you are now, but I was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old, and I couldn't understand all the things. But after so many years, I really feel that your master and master are good people. ”

When I saw Meng San'er say this, his eyes lit up, maybe it touched his heart.

"Boss, here are twenty skewers of mutton, ten skewers of pig heaven, and four bottles of beer!"

Meng San'er and I sat next to the big stall on the side of the road, blowing the evening breeze, and I felt that the distance between the two of us was actually closer.

"Brother San'er, what happened later?"

"Later, when your master and master arrived home, we were all very happy! We all thought that they had died outside, and even discussed that after another month or two there was no news, we would forget about the funeral. ”

"But...... It's not all happy, either. ”

"What do you mean by that?" I asked, puzzled.

"Wu Da was not happy, at least I could see it at the time, and he was very panicked. ”

"Oh...... Didn't you say there was another aunt?"

"Yes, your aunt is very happy, she has always been very filial to your master, and her relationship with your master is very good. ”

When Meng San'er said this, she smiled playfully on her face.

"There's a situation! I understood what Meng San'er meant, and I forked.

"After a while, I talked about the things between men and women, and I didn't see it very real as an outsider. Let's talk about what happened when they came back. “

"After your master came back, he was very angry and called Wu Da to the ancestral hall to give a lecture. “

Meng San'er's face became solemn: "In that era, it was a big deal to be called to the ancestral hall to give lectures...... The light ones were whipped and boarded, and the heavy ones were sunken ponds, and those who were beaten to death with sticks. “

I gasped: "Master, why?"

"Because the one who followed your master that night should have been Wu Da. It's too dangerous to go down to the ground, and you have to keep a good one on the ground to answer it! In case there's a good guy down there, and he doesn't come out at the appointed time, he won't die inside!"

I thought about it too, and nodded.

"But that night, Wu Da went out privately, didn't say hello to your master, and called your aunt out. “

"Uh...... It can't be intentional, right?"

"It's hard to say, I thought it was a coincidence, but judging from the things that followed, this Wu Da's heart is still too dark. ”

"Then why doesn't the master wait for him?

"There is a special thing to go to the ground, and you have to calculate the hexagram and look at the yellow calendar first. Besides, the rumors had already spread at that time, and if you don't start again, I'm afraid there will be nothing to fish. ”

"Okay. Has Master taught Wu Da a lesson?"

Meng San'er nodded: "Your master called Wu Da to the ancestral hall and told him to kneel! “

"I think this method sounds a bit powerful!" I frowned.

"Well, our line of work is different from other portals. The family law is extremely strict, on the one hand, it is to punish those who do not follow the rules, and on the other hand, it is also to set an example for the chickens and monkeys. Wu Da was beaten that day, and when it was over, he couldn't leave by himself, and he was carried out......"

"What about my aunt?"

"Your aunt told the truth. It turned out that night, in fact, the master had greeted Wu Da, but Wu Da didn't know whether he forgot or deliberated, so he asked your aunt out for tea that day. A woman's family can't go to the ground, so the aunt doesn't know. When they came back, they found that their master and brother were gone, and your aunt was looking for them everywhere. “

Later, Wu Da lay in bed for two whole months before he could walk on the ground. “

"The master is also ruthless enough. "I have palpitations.

"I have to be ruthless, that's two lives!"

"Hey, if the master doesn't come up, won't the entire portal be in charge of Wu Da?"

"Yes. That's why it's suspicious! And your aunt was crying that day, and I was a character who was more inferior, and I couldn't hear it in the ancestral hall. It should also have something to do with that Wu Da. “

"That's complicated...... But I've never heard the old man mention these things! This old thing can really hold back!" I scolded.

After that, for most of the year, life was peaceful. The things that your master and master brought up from the ground were all treasures, and they were very advanced, and some of them had never been seen by anyone in the industry at that time. So your master stays at home every day and studies those treasures at home. “

"But," Meng San'er changed her words: "The good days didn't last long, and your master fell ill." “

"Is Master very old?"

"Actually, it's okay, and he often travels from south to north, and his body is also tough. That's why everybody thinks it came very suddenly......"

I heard what Meng San'er said, and hurriedly asked, "Wouldn't it be someone who harmed the master?"

"Alas...... It was winter, and there was a lot of snow and it was cold. One day, your master came out of the room where the boxes were kept, and walked to his own house. Suddenly, I fell, and then I started bleeding. “

"......Ahh

"When the big guy carried your master into the house, he couldn't speak. The doctor who arrived looked at it and said it was poisoning. “

"Who is it?" I slapped the lamb signature on the table, feeling the blood in my body running backwards.

"It's still a mystery. Meng San'er shook his head, "This old man eats and drinks every day, and there are many people who handle it." After all, it is also an ordinary family, where is there such strict monitoring. So whether it was an accident or someone with ulterior motives is hard to say. “

"Is this how the master went?"

"Your master has been lying in bed for a whole year, from a particularly strong old man, to a handful of bones, alas. I could hear some of it, but I couldn't speak at all, and my body couldn't move. “

Although I haven't seen my master, I still feel sour in my heart.

"When the Spring Festival was about to pass the next year, the old man was completely gone...... He had a premonition that he would die soon, so he called all three apprentices to the bed and began to explain what was going on. “

"Separation?"

"Hehe, almost. At that time, the master-apprentice relationship was much tighter than it is now, much like that of parents and children. Meng San'er smiled.

"Your master gave the courtyard of the old mansion to Wu Da, but he didn't leave him alone, and he didn't have any objects! He must start over by himself and set up his own portal, and he must not follow the master's sect of portals, and he must not have the slightest relationship!"

"Master, I can't believe Wu Da......" I frowned.

"Yes. Knowing the son is better than the father, between the master and the apprentice, where is the secret. Wu Da likes to cheat and play tricks, and he is mean, and your master doesn't want to see him. But if you don't give him the most affordable things on the surface, Wu Da will inevitably find trouble with your master and aunt. Therefore, the master made such a decision. “

"Then what did my master get?"

"The master gave the boxes of things that were fished up from the ground and a few trustworthy old family members to your master. “

"Hmm...... it turns out that those boxes of things in the old man's basement are so valuable! I always thought they were some rags, but I didn't expect them to be family heirlooms!

"Where's my aunt?"

"What your master means is to let your aunt follow your master, they have been close since childhood, and their relationship has always been very good!

"I didn't think the old man had a childhood sweetheart's sister!" I laughed.

"Where can the truth always be as people wish, your aunt finally stood on her own, as if there are some inexplicable connections between the three senior brothers and sisters. After the old man explained the aftermath, he lost his breath. It snowed very hard that day...... Your master knelt in the snow for a day and a night, crying until he couldn't help himself. “

"Then, did the master come out on his own?"

"It would be nice if Wu Da was such a kind person. He thinks that your master is biased, and he has given the most valuable and precious things to your master, and it is not a good feeling to guard the courtyard by himself! As soon as the funeral is over, he will ask your master to negotiate the conditions. “

"Damn! This man wants to be shameless! Isn't that dirty thing he did himself?

"People are like this, Xiao Feng, never underestimate the darkness of human nature. People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and they don't know each other!"
