Escaping death, the three of them all lay down on the ground, looking at the night and the starry sky overhead, and listening to the cries of insects in the grass not far away, they couldn't help but feel a little happy.

This is the joy of being born, and it has nothing to do with other emotions.

Even the little carpenter, who had just suffered the pain of losing his teacher, couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

This vast world brings people an unprecedented sense of comfort - especially when they have just climbed out of the narrow, stuffy, and dark underground tunnel, and the contrast is even stronger.

After a long while, the little carpenter asked, "Will the others, be dead?" ”

Qu Menghu had a piece of grass in his mouth, chewed it, and the bitter grass juice rummaged in his mouth, and then spit it out, and then said: "Maybe it is, maybe it isn't - after all, there is a good saying, it's called 'good people don't live long, bad people live for a thousand years', Boss Luo, right?" ”

Luo Fugui stretched his body and said lazily: "That's true. ”

The little carpenter took a deep breath of the cold air of the night, recalled all the strange things that had happened that day, and remembered the news of his master's death, and his heart was full of emotions, and he didn't know how to talk about it.

Still, I survived.

He thought about it a lot, but in the end he emptied his mind and thought that it would be the luckiest thing to survive.

As for the rest, he was powerless to think about it.

The three of them lay like this for a while, and suddenly, Qu Menghu, who had not moved, suddenly got up, tilted his head up, and kept chattering in his mouth, his face was also cloudy for a while, sunny for a while, and looked very strange.

And at this time, Luo Fugui also felt that something was wrong.

He squinted, looking at the starry sky above him.

The little carpenter was a little surprised, and when he saw Qu Menghu's appearance, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" ”

Qu Menghu pointed to the sky, his voice trembled a little, and said: "Look, look, this celestial phenomenon is moving, purple qi gathers in the east, the bull fights the wolf, the bucket handle points eastward, and the greedy wolf is red, this is a big murder - my God, what the hell is it, can make the celestial phenomenon so terrifying?" ”

Luo Fugui opened one eye and closed the other, as if he was measuring something.

After Qu Menghu finished speaking, he stretched out the index finger and thumb of his right hand, measured it against the sky, and then said: "The murderous elephant that was born is within a hundred miles of us. ”

After saying this, he corrected again: "No, it may be closer." ”

After hearing what the two of them said, the little carpenter suddenly had a particularly bad feeling.

He took a deep breath and said, "It won't be ...... just now."

Qu Menghu also thought about it at this time, and asked him: "By the way, I was busy running for my life just now, but I forgot to ask, you said earlier that the Luban stone statue in the Luban Temple actually came to life, and then crashed through the mountain wall and left by itself?" What the hell is going on? ”

The little carpenter said: "It's not a Luban stone statue, it calls itself the Red Lotus Ancestor, I think this stone statue is very likely to be the sealed Red Lotus Ancestor Xu is three years old." ”

After speaking, he told the two of them about the origin of Xu San's life.

This three-year-old Xu is the Luban teacher he has heard from Master Lu Da the most in the past, so the relevant information is also familiar, such as a few family treasures.

After listening to him, Na Luo Fugui also nodded, saying that this Red Lotus Ancestor, I have also heard the old people in the family say that he is a powerful person.

The little carpenter continued to talk about the situation after the stone statue came to life, and after listening, Qu Menghu thought for a while and said, "A guy who has lived for so many years is indeed a demon. It's just that, listening to your story, that guy may not be a murderer, and for you, maybe it's still a chance. ”

The little carpenter remembered what had just happened, and felt as if in a dream, and opened his mouth, but he did not know what to say.

Luo Fugui said: "The things in this world are inherently chaotic and disorderly, and they are known by right and wrong, which is just a child's concept......"

A few people chatted, and after confirming that the astrological anomaly was related to the Red Lotus Ancestor Xu was three years old, he was not worried, and after chatting a few words, Qu Menghu asked the little carpenter: "The matter has come to this, what are your plans in the future?" ”

In the past, the little carpenter followed Master Lu Da around the dock and built houses for people, but now that Lu Da is dead, he is gone, and where to go in the future is really a problem.

The little carpenter thought for a moment, but did not answer, but asked rhetorically, "What about you?" Where are you going? ”

If it were the past, he might have been in a daze, looking for a place to work, just eating with a mouthful, but this meeting with Qu Menghu, whether it was the outside world he told the little carpenter, or the experience of these days, had a huge impact on the little carpenter's thoughts.

These things made him feel that maybe he could change his life in a different way.

However, in the face of the little carpenter's inquiry, Qu Menghu hesitated, but said in a low voice: "I, ah, I may have to go to southern Yunnan." ”

The little carpenter asked, "Do you want me to come with you?" ”

Qu Menghu shook his head and said, "No, I have some personal matters to deal with, so it's inconvenient to take you." ”

His refusal was a bit blunt, much to the embarrassment of the little carpenter.

However, the embarrassment was only for a moment, and with his understanding of Qu Menghu, he naturally knew that the reason why this old man was reluctant to take him was not because of disgust, but because of another reason.

As for the reason, Qu Menghu didn't want to say, and he didn't ask.

The little carpenter thought about it, took out the letter left by Lu Da, and said: "My master told me a daughter-in-law, the other party is the daughter of Gu Xicheng in Daxue Mountain, I thought about it, otherwise I will go and ask, see if people are willing to marry my daughter to me." ”

When Qu Menghu heard it, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "What do you think? ”

When it came to men and women, the little carpenter was a little shy, scratched his head, and said, "I don't know." ”

Qu Menghu turned his head and asked Luo Fugui: "Boss Luo, what do you say?" ”

Luo Fugui is a person, he looks very serious and serious, but in fact, he has been getting along for a long time, and it is actually quite interesting, hearing Qu Menghu's words, he smiled and said: "If I am the thirteenth brother, I will secretly inquire first, what is the character of the Miss Gu family, what is her appearance, if she is talented, she will pick up the clothes, find the door, and ask for this marriage; If not, don't let us live people be suffocated by urine, the matter of my daughter-in-law is still a lifelong thing, it has to be pleasing to the eye, even if it is my master, he can't help me make a decision, right? ”

The little carpenter blushed a little, but still said stubbornly, "But this is also my master's last wish after all?" ”

Luo Fugui saw that he was serious, laughed, and said I'm just talking.

He wasn't a good teacher.

Qu Menghu asked him: "Then what if the young lady of the Gu family disagrees, or if the old guy in Gu Xicheng doesn't look down on you?" ”

The little carpenter scratched his head and said, "Then I'll come back here, kowtow to my master, and tell him about it." ”

Qu Menghu covered his stomach and laughed so hard that the little carpenter was puzzled and asked why.

Qu Menghu pointed to Luo Fugui next to him and said: "Thirteen, we are Lao Geng, and I am not afraid that you will find it unpleasant - if it is Boss Luo, it will be successful." And guess why? Because Boss Luo is a talented person and has a good demeanor, whether it is this spirit or conversation, he is first-class, which girl doesn't love it, which old man doesn't like it? But you are like this now, it's not that you can't do it, the main thing is that your face is too tender, and you still lack some experience, and you don't look like a responsible man. ”

He smiled back, but offered his opinion sincerely.

Although this was very tactful, the little carpenter heard it, he thought about it, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Then what should I do?" ”

Qu Menghu said: "I heard you say before, I am going to go to Yucheng for a while, I think it's very good, first, I can't stay here, and secondly, it is the intersection of waterways in the southwest, and the scene is mixed." You have been there for a while, you have seen for a long time, you have sharpened your temper, and when I have finished my business in southern Yunnan, I will come to you again and lead you to the door to ask for your relatives. ”

He still can't rest assured that his little brother is still at ease.

When the little carpenter heard this, his heart warmed, and he said, "Thank you, thank you." ”

Qu Menghu smiled and said of course, we have to do something before we leave.

The little carpenter asked, "What is it?" ”

Qu Menghu said: "Baolan's little girl's skin provoked our brothers, it is indeed hateful, but she has the support of the fierce characters of Longwu Village behind her, we can't afford to provoke it, and it will be trouble when we touch our hands, so we can only avoid it for the time being; But Wu Banxian is different, that guy is in the same stream as Zhang Qiming, framing your master and apprentice, it can be said that your master's death has nothing to do with him escaping - Zhang Qiming is crossing the river and finding it difficult, but Wu Banxian is a landowner, since we are leaving, we have to settle accounts with him, but we can't cheapen that old thing. ”

At the mention of this guy, the little carpenter was full of anger, nodded his head, and said yes.

He was expecting to be able to find the master and let the master help him out, so he endured it, but now that Lu Da is dead and he wants to leave, he naturally can't take care of a lot.

Even if Wu Banxian had a relationship with some militia chief, so what?

The affairs of the rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes, the whole world is the truth.

As the two spoke, Luo Fugui raised his hand and said, "Count me in." ”

The little carpenter helped his fellow villager break the method of disgust with winning, and he naturally reciprocated the favor and had to help the little carpenter settle the matter.

When Qu Menghu heard this, he rubbed his hands with a smile and said, "With your Boss Luo's help, this matter can be regarded as a nine-point ......."

As soon as he finished speaking, his waist suddenly moved, but it was the lucky bag that was rolling.

When the little carpenter saw this, he looked puzzled and said, "What is this?"

Qu Menghu smiled and said, "It's okay, you wait for me, I'll go over there and make it convenient." ”

With that, Qu Menghu got up and walked to the side of the forest.

After a while, there was the sound of fists hitting the flesh and whining wails from the other side of the forest, and after a while, Qu Menghu came over with a chubby orange fat cat full of pleated skin.
