The news that Nanzi Mansion opened its doors to accept apprentices soon spread throughout the entire northern Sichuan region.

In fact, Nanzi Mansion is just a formality and sends a notice to everywhere.

There are several forces in a northern Sichuan region, and the development of each force needs fresh blood, but it is not possible for everyone to carry out apprenticeship activities together, and it is not a college entrance examination enrollment, and there are new people coming every year.

It is still a little difficult to cultivate in the environment of the mortal domain, so if you have bad talent, you don't want it, and if you don't want one sect, other sects will definitely not want it.

There are also unspoken rules between various forces, although they are not put on the surface, but everyone has also staggered the time of their own apprentices, so as not to collide with other forces.

Although the time for them to accept apprentices is fixed once every few years, they will also send a notice one year in advance, so that ordinary people in the entire northern Sichuan region can prepare, and those who live far away and want to apprentice can also set off in advance.

There is also an age limit for recruiting new people, don't be old, and don't want to be too young.

Under normal circumstances, it is best to have children around the age of eight to twelve who have begun to read and learn characters, children at this age are the most malleable, and their hearts are quite pure, and they are easy to have a sense of belonging after staying in the sect for a long time.

Lan Yi is now nine years old, in fact, everyone doesn't know her specific age, but they think so.

The shopkeeper actually hopes that Lan Yi can try her luck and live with an old man who may lose his breath at any time, and come out so sensibly to share the burden of the family at such a young age, what a good child.

can hear Lan Yi's refusal, and the shopkeeper also knows why.

Lan Yi was picked up by the old man, the old man has lived in Xiangji City for more than 90 years, and he is the longest-lived person in these streets, as for what his name is, he himself has forgotten, and others have forgotten it.

Everyone called him the old man, and all the people who had some small successes in these streets were educated by the old man when they were young, and a willow branch taught them to be a man and to do things.

Therefore, Lan Yi is now the most beautiful girl in these streets, not only cute, but also well-behaved and sensible, and many people regard Lan Yi as their daughter.

Lan Yi was reluctant to go to the sect, so she naturally wanted to give the old man a pension, even if she told Lan Yi that this kind of thing could be handed over to them, but Lan Yi couldn't rest assured.

That's it, the way to cultivate immortals, is talking about a fate, maybe Lan Yi has nothing to do with the immortal road.

But the shopkeeper didn't expect that Xianyuan would come immediately.

The morning business of the inn was still relatively quiet, and the night before, after all the guests left, someone had also cleaned up the lobby, and what Lan Yi had to do was to visit the tables and chairs in that area in charge, as well as sweep and mop the floor.

Several daytime handymen worked together, and in just half an hour, the upper and lower floors of the inn were cleaned up, and Lan Yi, who was the pet of the group, had just sat down, and just drank a sip of water into his mouth, when he saw a person outside the door.

"Lao Yan, please come inside. ”

"Blue ...... Blue...... Blue ......"

Running the hall greeted him at the door, and the person called Lao Yan was panting and wanted to speak, but he really couldn't slow down.

"Don't stop you, drink saliva first. ”

Ran Tang took the kettle, poured a large bowl of water, let Lao Yan drink it all, and smacked his mouth before finally finishing his words.

"Lan Yi is going home, the old man can't do it. ”

Hearing this, Lan Yi put down the bowl in her hand, didn't say a word, and rushed directly to the house.

The shopkeeper behind the counter also put down the account book in his hand heavily, and was still on the table, walking on some clumsy little short legs, and hurriedly ran out, following behind Lan Yi, but without running two steps, he couldn't see the figure.

The old man's house was on the other side of the street, in a not so remote corner, where usually no one came, but today, the door was full of people.

Lan Yi looked at these uncles and aunts, and her heart chuckled even more.

These people are people who have more or less helped themselves and others in the past year, although everyone is not rich, and sometimes they just give a bundle of vegetables or a bag of rice, but they are also mindful.

When they pulled Lan Yi to talk, they were talking about the past things that the old man had taught them before, and on weekdays, they only came back to see Lan Yi in their free time, and when they appeared at the same time like this, Lan Yi understood even if it was the first time to experience it.

"Lan Yi is back. ”

"Don't let the child go in alone, let's stay with you. ”

"Go and tell Lao Li that the work at home will be put aside for two days. ”

"Lan Yi, don't be afraid, we're all here. ”

“......”

When everyone saw Lan Yi appear, they all got out of the way.

It is not easy for the old man to pick up a granddaughter before he died, but the old man is old, and he will leave when he can't keep it.

They didn't expect that the disciples of Nanzi Mansion had just issued an announcement in the city this morning, and everyone was still talking about letting their children go to Nanzi Mansion to try their luck, and at the same time, they also thought of Lan Yi, and Lao Yan, who came with the notice, actually saw the old man lying quietly on the bed, not breathing.

Lan Yi stood at the door, looking at the two neat rows of people, from the door of the house to the bedroom, and tears couldn't help but roll in her eyes.

Through the open door, Lan Yi saw the old man.

Lying on his side on the bed, after all, hunchbacked, the old man could not lie flat at all, even now.

Holding the old man's hand gently, there was still a little warmth, but compared to before, it was a lot stiffer.

The old man's expression was very serene, as if he had expected that he would leave, so he lay on the bed, otherwise at this time, the old man was sitting at the door, fiddling with his crutch, and pulling the erhu from time to time to entertain the public.

But now, the old man is gone.

Sad?

In fact, it's not too sad, after all, the old man is old, and now it's a happy event.

I'm really worried, it's still Lan Yi's girl.

This well-behaved girl will not be abandoned by her parents, maybe her parents are killed, and now, the old man who adopted the girl has also passed away, even if they are neighbors and neighbors to help take care of her, Lan Yi is still alone after all.

"Lan Yi, we are discussing the old man's funeral outside the door, and if there is something, call us, don't be too sad, the old man is about the same age. ”

Everyone didn't comfort Lan Yi too much, although her tears kept flowing, she didn't cry, just knelt in front of the old man, grabbed his hand, and never let go.

The door was hidden, and outside the door, under the auspices of one person, the matter of the old man was quickly settled, but the door was inside......

Born without raising, the severed finger can be returned.

Born and raised, the severed head can be returned.

If you are raised before you are born, it will be difficult to return for a hundred years!
