San.

It's been two months since autumn, and the town is located in the south, and although it's already autumn, the weather is not very cool.

But there was a shop that had already been put on the stove early, burning very hot wood, and the whole shop was full of heat.

Xu An was wearing a black robe, tightly wrapped, very lazily sitting in the shop looking at the bowl of leftover soup hot in front of him, his brows were furrowed, he felt a little flustered in recent days, poor panic!

"You don't want to eat?" Cheng Wu was about to go out, and asked when he saw Xu An staring at a bowl of soup in a daze.

Compared with Xu An, Cheng Wu's dress can be said to be unusually cool, maybe because the house is a little hot, so he stood at the door of the shop and asked.

"I'm tired of drinking leftover soup every day, you smell it, I now have a smell of soup on my whole body, or the taste of leftover soup, it's strange to eat it. Xu An knocked on the table and said.

"This bowl of soup can be sold for thirty yuan, which is worth a year's income of our shop, and it is a waste. Cheng Wu continued.

"Hey, you're saying that my shop can't sell a bowl of soup for a year, right?" Xu An lost his temper when he heard this, and stood up and said.

Cheng Wu didn't speak, he was still thinking carefully about the sword left by Ji Dongli, but the meaning he showed was obvious, your shop really can't sell a bowl of soup in a year!

"I can tell you, last year, last year! I sold two bowls in a while!" Xu An said, rolling up his sleeves.

"I bought it!" Cheng Wu immediately stopped when he heard this, and retorted when he came back to his senses.

"It doesn't matter who bought it, you just say that I didn't sell it, right?"

"But it's true that not a single bowl of soup has been sold this year..."

Xu An was speechless, no matter how hard he spoke, he still couldn't refute this fact, because now he had been reduced to the point where he could only drink leftover soup every day.

In a few days, I'm afraid that he won't be able to pay the rent of this shop, and Aunt Zhang next door came to urge a few days ago, and these two had no choice but to send people away, but it's not a matter to drag it out like this, people will always come again.

The aunt is not unreasonable, knowing that these two have difficulties, it is strange that they can make money by opening a shop in this kind of place. The aunt said, seeing that you two young men are not bad, either let Xu An be a door-to-door son-in-law for her daughter, and this shop will be given to him for nothing.

Xu An was naturally stunned when she heard it, and the aunt saw that Xu An was unwilling, so she pointed out a clear way, and asked Xu An to guard the shop, and Cheng Wu to help her chop firewood and work, and she could also deduct the rent of the shop, Xu An felt that this idea was not bad, right?

Xu An sat there and thought about it carefully, then nodded slightly.

Cheng Wu was very upset when he saw Xu An's expression, and preemptively said, "Or?"

When Xu An heard this, he was immediately frightened into a cold sweat: "Roll on, don't even think about it, it's almost the same when you go to chop wood for her." ”

"But it's been a few months, and Yun Wangshu hasn't been here since you were rescued, otherwise you can still ask her to collect some soup money, she drank a lot of my soup for nothing." Xu An sat on the chair with his left hand supporting his chin, and tapped his right index finger on the table and said to himself.

"Could it be that he was locked up?" Cheng Wu said, recalling the scene.

"Does it have anything to do with you? Do you still want to save people?" Xu An said with a roll of his eyes.

"I'm going to see that sword, why don't you take a look?" Cheng Wu continued.

In the past few months, Cheng Wu still went to look at the sword left by Ji Dongli every day, but he just looked, he couldn't see anything, it could be said that he didn't find anything, but he still chose to spend a long time there every day.

It was as if the sword was a big, fat piece of beef that needed to be slowly boiled over a simmer to bring out the flavor.

"You can't see anything, what else do you go to see, you've been watching this for a few months, and when you have that time, you go to help Aunt Zhang chop wood, do some chores or something, do you know how to respect the old and love the young? It's best to help her take care of her daughter. That's Ji Dongli, in case you don't get revenge by then, at least you can stay behind. Xu An said in a rambling voice.

Cheng Wu naturally knew that Xu An's mouth couldn't say such words as respecting the old and loving the young, and he also knew that Xu An was thinking about how to get rid of the rent of this shop, so he didn't eat Xu An's set at all.

"Ji Dongli's sword is amazing, I go to see it every day these days, and the more I look at it, the more I feel that he is a very amazing person, why are you not interested in that sword at all?"

"His sword is not for me to see, and it is a waste of time for me to look at it, do you understand the useless truth. Xu An pouted and said.

"Didn't you show it? Didn't you say he was teaching you how to use a sword?"

"Well, he's teaching me how to use a sword, the disgust and killing intent in that sword are for me to see, but that sword is not, will you teach someone you hate to use a sword?"

"It's not for you, who is it for?" Cheng Wu asked, touching his head and wondering.

"Who knows who he is for, it's a neurotic, neurotic idea who can figure it out. ”

"I told you this because I don't want you to waste more time, people's lives are very short, you should do more useful things, such as helping Aunt Zhang chop wood or something. Xu An changed his tone, sighed softly, and said with a serious look.

Cheng Wu didn't believe his words at all, the two had been together for a long time, and when Xu An changed his tone, Cheng Wu knew that he must not listen to the next words, he must not believe them!

"But I seem to be able to understand the sword a little bit. Cheng Wu said after thinking about it.

"Can you understand, do you believe it yourself?" Xu An was stunned for a moment, and then asked.

"I... I'm not sure, but I can tell that it's a very straight sword, and there doesn't seem to be anything else in that sword except straight, and there is no killing intent or disgust as you say. Cheng Wu scratched his head and returned.

"Do you understand that? I just looked at it and knew that the sword was straight, and it was appropriate to be a tailor. Xu An said speechlessly.

"Wait, since you don't have anything else but Zhizhi, what do you go to see every day? Isn't it good to do something serious?" Xu An then asked.

"I want to see if there's anything else to see besides Nao. ”

"I'm about to sleep on the streets, and I still have the heart to look at that, so let's think about how I can not starve to death, you talk about this Yun Wangshu, when she came in the past, she sent at least two cakes to eat every day, how could she not starve to death, but now it's okay." Xu An sighed again and said.

"This long watch is also, I was scared by Lord Luna, and I didn't even dare to show my shadow, how can I get some money. Xu An said to himself while tapping his fingers on the table.

Cheng Wu didn't pay attention to his complaints, closed the door and began to walk out, although there was no gain from looking at the sword every day, and his cultivation had not improved, it was still in the sevenfold state of the body covering the body, but he felt that looking at it was a kind of gain.

Suddenly, Xu An put away his thoughts, because he felt that there was a person standing outside the shop, and with his perception, he could naturally see that it was an ordinary person, what did the ordinary person stand outside his shop for?

Xu An's eyes began to brighten, but he turned to think about how much money this bowl of soup could make? Thinking that the rent of this shop was completely unmotivated, why didn't he know to make a counteroffer at the beginning.

When Xu An was sitting in the shop and feeling depressed, the man had already walked into the shop, and when Xu An saw the man, he was even more depressed, because it was a monk.

The monk looked like he was only in his twenties, but he had an obscene appearance, and the monk's clothes on his body were also tattered, so he didn't look like a rich lord no matter how he looked.

The monk saw Xu An clasping his hands together and saluting: "The poor monk is called Wusheng, and I have seen the donor." ”

Xu An still sat there, didn't get up, and said lazily: "Monk, my shop sells beef soup, you are wrong." ”

"Poor monks don't taboo meat, it's okay, it's okay. ”

"It doesn't hurt if you don't avoid meat or fish, what I want to say is that this is beef soup, which is very expensive. Xu An said speechlessly, what does it have to do with me whether you are afraid of meat or not? Who doesn't know that the monk has no money, and if he doesn't have money, he just made a mistake when he came to my shop?

"It's... The poor monk came all the way from the north and asked the donor to give him a bowl of soup and rice. Master Wusheng said with an embarrassed expression.

"What do you want to say from the north?" asked Xu An, squinting slightly, tapping his fingers lightly on the table.

"The poor monk is very hungry now, and wants to come to eat a bowl of soup, and then ask His Royal Highness the Second Prince not to return to the capital. Master Wusheng sat opposite Xu An, looked at the bowl of beef soup in front of Xu An, and said.

"Do you know who I am?" asked Xu An.

"The poor monk came specifically for this matter, so he naturally knows about it. ”

"It's easy to say if you drink soup, just give money, but what does it matter to you whether you go back or not? Who are you, or who sent you?" Xu An said, staring at Master Wusheng.

"The monks don't carry any money, can they ask the donor to give them a bowl?" said Venerable Wusheng with an embarrassed expression.

"If you want to eat white food, you can't drink my soup if you don't have any money. Xu An picked up the soup bowl and took a sip of soup, then picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks, slowly put it in his mouth, and nodded slightly while eating.

Seeing that his saliva was about to flow down at this scene, Master Wusheng covered his stomach with both hands, and then recited a few Buddhist scriptures to barely stabilize his mind.

"The poor monk is not sent by anyone, just a monk in Beiyang City, the poor monk just wants to live a peaceful and stable life, but if His Royal Highness the second prince returns to the capital, then I am afraid that it will be ruined, and the poor monk will naturally not be able to live this life. Master Wusheng said.

"Wait, monk, you just said your name is Wusheng?" Xu An stopped his words and asked instead.

"That's right, monk I... The poor monk is called Wusheng. ”

"Since your name is Wusheng, do you know what death is?" Xu An then asked.

Xu An naturally didn't ask him for advice, but just used this sentence to scare and scare him, get out of here if you don't have money, don't be verbose here. If you don't know what death is, I'll tell you, and if you do, get out of here, and don't delay me doing business here.

Master Wusheng began to panic when he heard this, and when he heard the first half of the sentence, he thought that Xu An also wanted to ask him what life was, and he naturally had already thought about how to answer, but why did he want to ask himself what death was?

"There is only life, not death. Master Wusheng folded his hands and closed his eyes slightly.

"How do you say this?" Xu An was obviously a little surprised by his answer, he originally wanted to scare and scare him and tell him to hurry up, don't bother himself here, but now he told himself that he was not dead?
