Chapter 1. 10
10: Long resignation
Lao Guan didn't reply, just raised his eyelids to look behind Shen Gui, and took out a cigarette gun from the messy grass next to him. The second boy took out a cardboard bag from his pocket and rolled it in the hand of the old crutch. Lao Guan fumbled with his hands like firewood sticks to open the paper bag, and with his hand stuffed with black mud, he pulled out a small piece of unknown black hard lump from the paper bag. Shen Gui looked at the cigarette gun in his hand, and couldn't help but secretly praise it in his heart. This rod has been slightly unrecognizable true color of the smoking gun, the actual workmanship materials are exquisite and abnormal, rhino horn head jade mouth, Shouhai (pipe) purple sand firing, inlaid crane parietal bone decoration. The old crutch held the treasure in his left hand, and crawled forward with his right hand.
"He has such a good thing, how can he be so depressed?" Shen Gui asked the second boy at a loss, and the second boy pouted: "Look at his current body, where can he go?" If it weren't for the brothers of our tooth shop who took turns to deliver food and drink, we would have starved to death. I don't know why our boss Jin has to keep him. With that, he went into the corner and took out a small oil lamp. lit a fire and put it in front of the old crutch. turned back to Shen Gui and said, "Don't worry about him, this kind of person is not worthy of pity." As if he hadn't heard it at all, he raised his hand and took out a thin stick from his bosom, which turned out to be made of gold.
"Take it out, Young Master Sun doesn't have time to spend it with you here." The second boy looked at the old crutch lying on the ground and said sharply. Lao Guan didn't care: "Young Master Sun is also your Young Master Sun in Youbei, what does it have to do with me, a dying person?" "It's easy to want what I want, boy, come on. I'll give you a bubble for your grandfather first. After saying that, he beckoned to Shen Gui, grinning with a toothy mouth. The second boy flew up and kicked Lao Gui in the face, and Lao Gui, who had already climbed in front of the oil lamp, rolled out of the way. The old crutch turned over and spat out a mouthful of pus and blood, with a few irregular broken teeth. Shen Gui frowned: "I still don't know why I made this trip. I originally asked the second old lady to buy medicine, why did I come to see the old lady? What if he had medicine to rot like this? The second boy was just about to speak, and Lao Guan suddenly laughed angrily: "Lin Siwu is this rotten thing, why did you come to get medicine?" It's clear that they're here to take my life. Boy, how old are you? Have you ever killed a chicken? Aha...... "The second boy was really anxious, and pulled out a small dagger from the side of his boots, pointed at the old crutch and said: "Old bastard, I know that you are not afraid of death, and I also know that you want to die." But let me tell you, there are ways in this world that people can't survive without dying, and I don't mind letting you try them all. Lao Guan pointed at the second boy and laughed: "If you continue to run on the rivers and lakes like you, I will guarantee that you will not live for five years." There may be methods of torturing people in this world, but the best of them can only be this 'Ah Furong'. Shen Gui laughed: "What kind of character do I think you are, it turns out that you just rely on this big cigarette ointment." With that, he strode forward, picked up the paper bag on the ground, took out a small piece of raw paste, picked up two tongs, approached the oil lamp, and rubbed them back and forth with the tongs while baking. A few hands up and down to make a small cylinder. Lao Gui's eyes lit up and praised: "This smoke bubble burns Jun, it has to take a few years of hard work, otherwise it will never come." Shen Gui smiled shyly: "I've heard and watched it before, but it's the first time to get started, if it's good or bad, you can bear more." After speaking, he stepped aside: "This bubble should be sent to the old man on the road." The old man turned to the side, put the pipe close to the small oil lamp and slowly inhaled, and occasionally used the golden cigarette in his hand to sign through the air holes, with a peaceful and comfortable expression, with the picture in front of him, so that Shen Gui, who consciously accepted everything, knew for the first time what it was to really tremble. In Granny Lin's words, this is a smile that belongs only to the living dead.
"Not bad." The old crutch exhaled a puff of cigarette and threw the cigarette gun horizontally in front of him. "Just brew this smoke, Lao Tzu's things are all yours. After saying that, he touched it in his arms, and a beautiful stone seal was thrown in front of Shen Gui's feet. Shen Gui picked it up and played with it twice, and then said very solemnly: "I don't know what this is, what it can do, I don't care." But you, whatever you come up with, you have to hit the road today. Lao Guan sneered: "Fuck, you should be Lao Tzu who wants to live for so long." With his backhand, he poked the cigarette gun down his mouth and into his throat, his eyes widened, and he stopped moving.
Shen Gui saluted the motionless body of the old crutch, walked over and squatted down. "The cigarette gun poked and didn't move, maybe it was a trick to death. Young Master Sun, be careful that he hurts people! Seeing Shen Gui leaning down, the second boy hurriedly reminded him. Shen Gui took out a small short sword and looked back at the second boy: "Second brother, if you really die, you will still die in the end." After speaking, his face remained unchanged, his left hand pulled the old crutch's dirty hair, and his right hand held the short sword very seriously, sawing the old crutch's neck back and forth one by one. The second boy instinctively buzzed in his head, ran out of the grass hut and held on to the door and kept retching. After a while, Shen Gui, who had a calm face, carried a head with a face covered by messy hair in his hand, and his body was stained with blood: "Go back and ask your big gold teeth, and tell him that I Shen Gui took a human head and also got a seal." But I didn't see what my mother-in-law wanted. The second boy's voice trembled a little: "Our Jin Ye didn't tell me to let you take things back to change, so I guess this seal may be what you want to take back." Shen Gui was slightly surprised, but still nodded: "Okay, tell the big golden tooth, I will come to thank you another day." After saying that, he hung his head high on the locust tree outside the door. The head of the man was facing south, and the breeze in the forest blew, swaying lonely in the trees with the wind.
Shen Gui didn't hold this seal along the way, and kept playing with it in his hand, but he didn't see anything until he arrived at the door of the house. Entering the fence yard, I found that there was a small car carrying several small boxes parked in the fence yard, and a man with high muscles and muscles was chasing the dog that kept pounced on the side of the car. "Who are you looking for, big brother?" The man smiled innocently, and rubbed his two rough palms the size of a pu fan back and forth: "It was Master Yaxingjin who asked me to deliver the goods." "Let's just slap the box. Shen Gui's nose was almost crooked. Granny Lin's voice came from the house: "It's the little turtle who is back, give the little brother some money and move the box into the house." Shen Gui took out a small silver ingot and threw it over: "Thank you, brother, you go back to see the big gold tooth and ask him, is it that the tooth shop can't afford to hire a knife hand." With that, he began to move things into the house. The man unloaded all the small boxes, thanked him and turned to leave. Shen Gui moved everything into the kitchen, and then walked into the back room, and found that the room was full of people. All the men of the Qi family are here, and there are two people dressed as blacksmith leather pockets, Su Yiqing is feeding a small bowl of porridge to Gu Jie, who has come to his senses. Shen Gui saw everyone clearly, opened his mouth and closed it again. Granny Lin smiled and pointed at the tip of his nose: "If you have anything to say, just say it." Only then did Shen Gui throw the seal he was holding in his left hand in the direction of Granny Lin: "Next time you want me to kill someone, you can just say it." Granny Lin took the seal and rubbed it, waited for a while and looked up and asked Shen Gui: "Is the person dead?" Shen Gui smiled contemptuously: "I made it myself, and now the head of the old man is still dangling on the big locust tree." Granny Lin frowned: "No matter how you say it, you should leave a whole corpse." Shen Gui paused, and then replied in a low voice: "What you said was that it should have been." ”
Gu Jie, who had finished drinking the porridge on the bed, fell asleep again, and Su Yiqing took the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen and never came out. The four fathers and sons of the Qi family also followed to the kitchen, took out various medicinal materials from the box, and began to concoct them according to Granny Lin's instructions. Wu Datie, who was standing by the door, stretched out his hand, and the little apprentice handed over a roll of cowhide knife bag. Wu Datie took the leather roll and walked to the side of the kang and stood still, and slowly unfolded it on the edge of Granny Lin's kang: it turned out to be a set of small knives of different shapes. Just when Wu Datie whispered to Granny Lin to discuss this set of knives, Shen Gui, who saw it clearly, smiled: "I said old lady, do you still need to spend so much effort to save someone?" As he spoke, he waved his right hand in the void: "It's over in a moment." Granny Lin didn't pay attention to him, but just continued to talk to Wu Datie. After a while, Wu Datie knelt down, and when the little apprentice saw the master kneeling behind him, he quickly followed the master and kowtowed three times. After that, Wu Datie's farm tools and cooking utensils only looked slightly different from other people's homes, but they were always better than others' homes.
"Little turtle, come here." Granny Lin beckoned. "I don't think I've ever talked to you about the Heavenly Spirit Vein and the Earth Spirit Vein." Shen Gui sat opposite Granny Lin and copied the melon seed box from the windowsill in his hand. "Since Pangu opened the world, there have been many heroes in my Huayu Continent. There are heroes in troubled times, and there are sages in Chengping, and their courage and wisdom have been passed down by people for thousands of years in this land. In fact, most of these people are Heavenly Spirit Vein people. They are the pearls of time, shining in their own era. And now, there has been no new Heavenly Spirit Vein for nearly a hundred years. Shen Gui said while knocking on the melon seeds: "What is the Heavenly Spirit Vein?" Granny Lin thought for a moment and said in an inquiring tone: "Actually, I don't know what the Heavenly Spirit Vein is, I only know that their talent is incomparable. Touching everything and being very perceptive.。 And in a certain aspect, it can be connected. To put it simply, they can be regarded as the inheritors and promoters of Huayu Continent. Shen Gui said disdainfully: "But now there have been no new Heavenly Spirit Veiners in the past hundred years, everyone is still alive, I don't see any problems." Granny Lin sighed heavily, and said with a little tiredness: "Everything in this world is often repeated. up to the rise and fall of a dynasty, down to the continuation of ordinary people's incense. All of this is just a change of face and returns. And the Heavenly Spirit Vein is the torch in this darkness. Without them, everyone would have become blind people in circles. ”
"Aren't the eldest mother-in-law and you both Heavenly Spirit Veiners? Why hasn't it been in the past 100 years? Shen Gui tried to understand this nonsense and asked Granny Lin. Granny Lin smiled and touched his head: "Your eldest mother-in-law is the last Heavenly Spirit Vein to appear, and she has already returned to heaven." Granny Lin, I'm just an earth spirit vein. ”
