On the path of Hekou Town, a young man carried a large grass carp with a grass stalk in his mouth.

Grass carp flicks its tail from time to time, and its vitality is strong.

"Big fish, big fish, don't struggle, you have a fate with me, no, your flesh is fate with me, you have to accept your fate."

"Natsuki, are you going to catch fish again?"

"That's right, the fish you just caught is absolutely fresh, Aunt Liu, do you want to have one, make up for the chick."

"Xiao Xiamu, if you give this fish to Aunt Liu, I will marry Niuniu to you, okay."

Xia Mu glanced at Aunt Liu, your daughter is only three years old, when she grows up, I'm afraid I won't take off the skin?

"I said Xiao Natsuki, the river is so dangerous, I heard that there are dirty things, how did you catch the fish?"

How else can you catch it? Be bold, because no one catches the fish in the river, not only are there many but they are stupid to death, as long as you are bold, you can catch as many as you want.

"Cut, the exclusive secret recipe, can I tell you, I still have to pass it on to my son, forget it, see that you can't afford this fish, there is still a shrimp here, do you want five copper leaves?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Aunt Liu nodded again and again, she eats fruit every day these days, and she goes home every day to sleep, and her body has been empty for several days, a shrimp should make the dead ghost exert some strength, right?

When the business was done, Xia Mu happily took five copper coins and came to the medicine hall with a fish in his hand.

"Shopkeeper, I'm here to deliver fish, get me medicine."

The shopkeeper looked at the dead fish eye, not to mention how ugly his face was, "Xia family boy, I agreed to exchange a fish for a dose of medicine because of your father's pity, but you can't be a fish every time?" ”

Xia Mu lowered his eyebrows and said with a smirk: "Then ...... Two? ”

The shopkeeper laughed angrily, "I'll give you two fish, can you go and get all the medicinal herbs for me?" ”

"I won't." Natsuki said loudly.

"You!"

Seeing the appearance of the shopkeeper, Xia Mu knew that a fish would not be able to pass today, so he took out the copper leaves from his sleeve in distress at the moment, put them one by one, and took a look at the shopkeeper's face. put four on it, Xia Mu was about to cry, and he took out one from his crotch tremblingly, and put it on the table reluctantly, as if someone was tug-of-war with him.

The old shopkeeper's beard shook angrily, "You take that one back and take it out of the crotch, can the old man still want it?" ”

Xia Mu's hand took back the copper leaf, and his smile grinned to the back of his ear.

The old shopkeeper took out a bag of medicine from the cabinet below angrily, "Here, this is today, or the same as before, boil it for your father to drink." ”

"Okay, thank you, shopkeeper."

"Wait!"

Xia Mu stopped suddenly, "Don't you know how to make medicinal herbs?" I'll teach you, come early the day after tomorrow. ”

"Really!" Natsuki's eyes lit up. "Can I come tomorrow? I want to learn early. ”

"Tomorrow? Have you forgotten what day tomorrow is? Tomorrow the town will divide the Bodhi fruit, and you adult babies will all go. ”

That's right, Xia Mu is always used to replacing adulthood with eighteen years old, so he seems to be too early to grow up, but he forgot that it was already a matter of the previous life.

Hey, it looks like there's no going back.

He couldn't remember exactly how Natsuki had crossed over, after all, fifteen years had passed in this world, almost two-thirds of what had been his 'previous life'. Sometimes he even wondered if he was having a false dream.

"Silly boy, what do you want?"

"This ...... I'm thinking that the mayor doesn't like me, and maybe the Bodhi fruit doesn't have my share at all, and I go in vain. ”

"What nonsense, dividing Bodhi fruit is the old rule of our town, our town can exist for hundreds of years, it is these old rules that are in the town, the mayor of the town dares not to give you points! The old man was the first to refuse. The old shopkeeper looked furious, as if he was trying to find someone.

Xia Mu hurriedly comforted, "I'll just say that, the day after tomorrow, I'll be there the day after tomorrow, you always remember to open the door early." ”

Seeing the young man's straw sandals fall on the long shadow, the old shopkeeper sighed, turned around and closed the door of the medicine hall.

In a remote corner of the town, a small courtyard surrounded by a neat fence, and a few glow trees at the door tried their best to absorb the last rays of the sun.

The old yellow dog squinted his eyes and was basking in the sun pleasantly. Suddenly, his tail stood up, and he rushed out of the firewood door.

"It's my brother who is back." The dark-faced girl was squatting in the vegetable garden to catch insects, and when she saw the appearance of the yellow dog, she jumped up in surprise.

"I'm back."

Natsuki returned home before sunset, and the yellow dog jumped up and down around a string of small fish in his hand.

"Brother, you're finally back, what did you bring me something delicious?" Speaking of eating, Xia Cao's saliva couldn't stop flowing from the corners of her mouth.

"Hehe, my greedy sister, I didn't bring anything to eat this time."

Natsukusa's eyes were full of anticipation and suddenly turned into disappointment, and her eyes were full of water.

"Ha, stupid Xia Xiaocao, you can be deceived by me every time, look what this is! Dangdangdang! ”

Xia Cao wiped the haze from her eyes and saw her brother's palm, a bright red sugar gourd exuding a sweet taste. His stomach grunted uncontrollably, and he still said hard.

"Xia Mutou, don't you call me stupid, Dani said, I am often called stupid, and I really don't become smart."

"What does Dani's yellow-haired girl know?"

"Dani knows everything, she is the best student in our school."

"She's the best? I can study well with your brother, I think I was the leader of the school back then. ”

Xia Cao pursed her lips, "You haven't even finished the school." ”

Xia Mu's face suddenly fell, as if he had been stabbed in the knee, worthy of being his own sister-in-law, his ability to complain was upgraded in a straight line, and his heart was invisible.

threw the small fish in his hand to the girl and said, "Go and cook, otherwise the sugar gourd won't be eaten for you." ”

Xia Cao, who had got the sugar gourd, happily went to cook, and there was a heavy coughing sound in the house.

Natsuki rushed through the door and saw his emaciated father bending over with all his might, his hands flushed.

"Dad, you lie down first, I'll go boil the medicine immediately, don't worry, drink this medicine, you will be fine immediately."

"Don't worry, Mu'er, you come over first, I have something to say to you." Xia Shi's tone was very solemn.

Natsuki walked over to his father's bedside. Wipe the blood from the corners of his mouth for him.

"Daddy, you can say it."

"Mu'er, since I got sick, I have suffered you and Xiaocao, you have always been the best in the school, but you dropped out of school in order to take care of me." Xia Mu thought that his father felt guilty when he heard the words of the little sister, and hurriedly said, "Dad, what are you talking about, we are a family, don't think so much, hurry up and take care of your body, you also promised to teach me to polish my qi and blood in person." Xiaocao is also waiting for you to weave a wreath for her. ”

"Ahem, Mu'er, you are a good boy, but I don't feel happy with these words, I know my own affairs, the days are numbered, don't say these words, my father won't be blind, after I leave, you take care of the grass, without me dragging you down, you should be able to live well, and, remember to bury me on the hillside over there, and bury the head rope left by your mother with me, it's a ...... It's kind of dead and in the same hole. ”

Xia Mu's tears welled up violently, and the memory of fifteen years came to his heart, "Dad, don't you say such things, didn't you teach me." A man can't give up easily, and now I haven't given up, what do you mean to give up. Mother's life and death are undecided, if she finds it, what should I say? ”

Hearing his son talk about his wife, a glimmer of light welled up in Xia Shi's dim eyes, "Si'er......"

"For the sake of my mother, don't you give up, okay? Don't worry, tomorrow I will be able to get the Bodhi fruit, and when the time comes, I will be able to cure you, and our family will get better and better. ”

Xia Shi smiled hard, "Okay, dad listens to you." ”

As the sun sets, the glow trees at the door shimmer brightly, illuminating every corner of the town. The old yellow dog licked the fish bones and crawled quietly at Natsuki's feet.

Outside the town, there was a strange howl that made people's heads swell, and at this time, the Bodhi tree in the center of the town came from the faint murmur, and the chanting of scriptures dissolved the maddening sound.

The next day, Xia Mu ate half a piece of cold steamed bun and hurried to the Bodhi tree in the center of the town. I want to get a good seat.

"Hey, isn't that the lump of wood? What are you doing today? ”

Seeing the big black man blocking in front of him, and the young man lined up behind him, Xia Mu couldn't help but lament the narrow road of his family. But at this time, you must not lose momentum.

"Who should I be, it turned out to be Qin Yuan and his cubs."

The group of people was furious, "Who did the son of a dog say!" ”

Said the pup...... Forehead. "I'll go, this group of people won't also come through the time, why are they still playing tricks with me?

Qin Yuan was a little sad in his heart, but in order to take care of his subordinates, cough cough, and the face of his friends, he still had to show his support.

"Xia Mu, you give me some respect, this is not a school, and you are not a student of the school anymore, Mr. will not protect you anymore, we just broke your leg and didn't come to save you."

"Brother Qin, what nonsense are you talking about with him, we are here to teach him a lesson. Beat him up and throw him in the toilet. ”

"Good!"

"I think you dare!" Xia Mu roared, "I'm going to divide the Bodhi fruit today, if you dare to beat me at this time, the townspeople won't let you go when they see it." ”

"Just Xia Mu, your hemp rod-like body still has to divide the Bodhi fruit, let me tell you, we came here today to understand the grievances, you don't have to think about the Bodhi fruit, anyway, with your qualifications, it's a waste, and do you have the money to polish your qi and blood? It's better to let it out."

"Don't talk nonsense with him, everyone, don't let this guy run away, he's very cunning."

Xia Mu suddenly got angry, this group of dog cubs was really vicious, and he actually wanted to cut off his future, seeing this group of people surrounding him, Xia Mu suddenly laughed.

"Hahaha."

"You...... You're crazy, what are you laughing at? ”

What to laugh at? Natsuki also wanted to know, at this time, he called 'stop' and no one would pay attention to him, but laughter was different, the sudden laughter could exceed everyone's expectations, and at the same time it formed a strong contrast with the current situation, they would definitely be curious, and at the same time thought that Natsuki had something like a killer weapon, so they didn't dare to act rashly.

But......

What the hell am I laughing at? Hurry up and think about it before the laughter stops!! Otherwise, you will die.
