You can't throw away this thing when you want it, but you can't ask for it when you shouldn't.

A tree can die without bark, and a person can live without a face.

Anyway, I made up my mind to pay attention, and when Old Man Li finished eating, I followed him wherever he went. You call Lao Tzu here, and you have to be responsible for Lao Tzu to the end.

Wang Sheng stayed for a while, and he said that there was nothing to talk about living with an old man? It's better to live in his house, they are all classmates, and they are comfortable.

Of course I know what Wang Sheng means, but there are some things that are inconvenient for him to say.

Thinking of this, I suddenly had some doubts about the relationship between Old Man Li and Wang Sheng. So I asked him, "Are you and your Grandpa Li a master-apprentice relationship?" ”

"It doesn't count!" Wang Sheng smiled honestly and said, "Even when I was fine, he always came to me and taught me Qimen Dunjia, and he didn't mention the matter of apprenticeship or not." ”

Not apprenticed? So what does Old Man Li want to do?

If you find a successor to "Sanqing Qimen", there is no reason why you won't even let the apprentice know the name for five years! Not to mention the matter of apprenticeship, when did an old man of his age see it so openly?

Doubts are doubts, but I didn't say it.

Wang Sheng's impression on me is still good, but Old Man Li feels more and more like a deeply hidden villain.

So I nodded to Wang Sheng and chatted about leisure again.

The time lasted until about nine o'clock, and Old Man Li finally walked out of Wang Sheng's house with his teeth clenched.

I hurriedly pulled Lao Cai's clothes and followed him.

Seeing this, Old Man Li turned around and asked, "Aren't you classmates with Wang Sheng?" Why don't you live in his house? ”

Wang Sheng also followed when he heard this, but I just smiled and said to Old Man Li: "We will go home for the New Year in a few days, and I want to learn more things from my seniors." ”

I still understand the truth that I don't wear sycophants, especially Old Man Li, who eats this set very much.

After hearing me say this, he squinted and smiled, and said, "No problem, no problem." Then he looked at Wang Sheng, with a disgusted expression of rotten wood that could not be carved: "Look at your classmates, they are much stronger than you, learn more from others." ”

……

When he returned to Old Man Li's house, Old Man Li first went to see his neighbor, that is, Li Manman.

The young man was still taking care of her in the house, and when we pushed the door in, the girl was already asleep, and the young man was sitting on the bench and dozing off. He was startled when he heard the movement, stood up and shouted to Old Man Li Grandpa Li.

Old man Li nodded to him and said, "You go back to rest first, and I'll take care of her." ”

The young man nodded, then yawned and walked out the door.

After the young man left, Old Man Li walked to the side of the bed and reached out to probe the girl's forehead, and then helped her cover the quilt.

"Alas, in fact, this girl is really pitiful......"

Old man Li stood up and said suddenly: "If you want to say that the most pitiful person in this village is probably her, she has no father since she was a child, she is only seventeen years old this year, and her mother is gone before she is an adult." Now that people have become like this again, they can't go to school, and their lives are ruined. ”

"Does she have no other relatives?" I asked Old Man Li.

Old man Li shook his head and said, "No, when her father came to this village, he was only a half-old child, a wandering orphan, what relatives can he have." Even if there is, she is the way she is now, and she is gone. The young man who just went out was better than her when she was a child, so she was a childhood sweetheart. But even so, he just came to take care of it from his parents. ”

"There is nothing to be afraid of evil, sometimes it is the human heart that is terrible."

Old man Li let out a sigh.

But in my heart, I have already equated with the villain, and I didn't believe a single punctuation mark when he said this.

It's up to you

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

I'm pretending to be a good person, and I don't think you're a good thing.

Pity is indeed pitiful, but Old Man Li took the initiative to say it, but it made me a little suspicious of his purpose.

Did he say this to deliberately paralyze me and disguise himself as a good and compassionate person?

"Let's go, I'll find you a place to sleep."

Just as I was guessing the purpose of Old Man Li, he stood up and closed the lid on the stove and said to us.

……

The first time I walked into Old Man Li's house, it looked very quaint at first glance.

The furniture in the house is basically invisible in this age, and some of them I have never even seen, and they are all full of traces of time.

Old man Li's house should have just come back and hadn't had time to burn the fire, and the house was a little too cold.

After closing the door, Old Man Li pointed to a room and said to me that we would sleep in it tonight. Then I found a room by myself, pushed the door open and walked in, and ignored us.

I didn't say boiling some water to wash our feet or something.

But since the host's family is like this, then we don't care so much as guests, anyway, no matter how cold Old Man Li's attitude is, we will definitely have to pester him these days.

Lao Cai and I went to bed without soaking our feet, it was very cold, especially our feet, which were not warm.

Lao Cai seems to be very keen on sleeping in the same bed with me, and as soon as he gets into bed, he hugs me tightly, making me nauseous.

It's only about ten o'clock in the evening, and after pushing Lao Cai away, I'm not used to going to bed so early, and I can't sleep over and over.

It was pitch black in front of him, but he didn't feel the slightest sleepiness when he closed his eyes, so he simply kept his eyes open and looked into the darkness, while his ears kept paying attention to the movement next door.

When I say next door, I don't mean the room where Old Man Li sleeps, but the girl's house called Li Manman.

The two houses are originally next to each other, and the sound insulation of the houses in the countryside is not much better, if there is movement over there, you can still hear it carefully.

It's a pity that until Lao Cai's snoring sounded deafeningly in my ears, I still didn't hear anything. I don't know how long it took, but I couldn't help but fall asleep when I felt sleepy.

When I woke up early the next morning, Old Man Li still went to Li Manman's house first, and the little girl had already woken up, lying on the bed with blank eyes, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Old man Li lifted the lid of the stove in her house, put some coals to light the fire, and then boiled some white rice porridge for her.

Li Manman is still very recognizable, and Lao Cai and I startled her as soon as we stepped in, so we were driven out by Old Man Li again.

Standing outside the door, Lao Cai and I shivered coldly, just got up in the morning, and the hot water face was not washed, and it was not even touched by the stove.

Lao Cai scolded in his mouth and greeted Old Man Li's family again.

Fortunately, at this time, Wang Sheng came and said that his grandmother had already made breakfast and asked us to come over for dinner.

Although I was very embarrassed, I couldn't help it, I couldn't stand in the cold wind because I couldn't put down my face, so Lao Cai and I followed Wang Sheng to his house again, washed our hot face, and ate a bowl of hot noodles.

This is the treatment that a guest should have!

This went on for three days.

During this period, Li Manman did not go to Li's tomb again, and Lao Cai and I still went to Old Man Li's house to sleep at night, and ate at Wang Sheng's house during the day.

I didn't do anything I wanted to do, but my leg got a lot better.

I took off the splint myself, and although I didn't fully recover, I had no problem walking normally, and I didn't have to limp anymore.

Three days of idleness made Lao Cai a little unbearable, and he asked me more than once about my next actions.

In fact, this is not the first time he has asked me this, and he has been asking for my opinion all the way.

But I'm also confused

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Ah, so every time he asks a question, I tell him to take it one step at a time.

And Lao Cai began to slowly compromise under this helplessness, I think the main reason is that he didn't bring clothes.

In the countryside, I always inadvertently get my clothes dirty.

So Lao Cai, who had no clothes to change, had to wear Wang Sheng's, but although Wang Sheng was fat, he was not as fat as Lao Cai's. So Lao Cai looks a little small after wearing it, and his belly often can't cover it, which looks very funny.

Lao Cai didn't care, he seemed to have integrated into this environment after living for a few days, and from time to time he followed Wang Sheng to dig vegetables in the field, and swayed left and right on the rural road with a hoe.

And because his clothes can't cover his figure, Lao Cai seems to have caught a cold in the past two days, and when he walks, his nose is tingling and he keeps sucking in, and from time to time he snorts with his hand.

The weather is cold, there is no hair dryer, Lao Cai doesn't seem to have even washed his hair, and his hair is shiny.

So with his image at this time, he looked like a second fool who often ran around the entrance of the village.

This continued until another five days passed.

Counting up, from the beginning to now, Lao Cai and I have been in the insight village for eight days.

In the past few days, Old Man Li has always looked at Lao Cai with disgust, and even the eyes that look at me are not so good, and he seems to be very dissatisfied with the cheeky behavior of the two of us who do not plan to leave.

To be honest, I wanted to leave for a long time, and Lao Cai would ask me every night what to do next. I don't really want to stay any longer.

First, I am also embarrassed to eat and drink for so many days in Wang Sheng's house, secondly, although it is all rural, I still think that my family is better, and thirdly, Grandpa Lin calls me every day to urge me to go back quickly, he said that as long as he can go, he can go back to slowly recuperate his injuries.

I know that Grandpa Lin cares about me, he doesn't know that more than a week has passed since the matter of Wutongshen, and he thought that I would worry about my life.

In fact, there is a worry about the life of the wool, and I am very safe.

But now I can't confess to Grandpa Lin, so I have to promise him that I will leave for him tomorrow and let him not worry.

Forget it, go back.

After dinner at Wang Sheng's house that night, Lao Cai and I stood in the courtyard smoking as usual, so I told him about this decision. Lao Cai almost jumped up happily, and then he frowned and asked me: "What about "Sanqing Qimen"?" ”

What to do? We can't rob it!

Even if we rob it, we don't know where Old Man Li hid "Sanqing Qimen".

Even if we know where Old Man Li put "Sanqing Qimen", we may not be able to beat him!

So what can be done?

I said to Lao Cai: "It's okay, let's talk about it later, "Sanqing Qimen" will not grow legs." What is needed now is to focus on the "Three Clear Divination". It may have been many years before I found "Sanqing Divination", and at that time, "Sanqing Qimen" was in Wang Sheng's hands, are we still afraid that we won't be able to get it? ”

My confidence mainly comes from Wang Sheng, since Old Man Li taught "Sanqing Qimen" to Wang Sheng, it is likely that he will be regarded as a successor, and after a few years, Old Man Li will stretch his legs, and "Sanqing Qimen" will naturally go to Wang Sheng's hands.

So getting close to Wang Sheng is actually about the same as getting close to Old Man Li, since Wang Sheng is easier to deceive, then why do I have to shoot Old Man Li's horses with my conscience?

Anyway, before the Sanqing book can't be found, whether "Sanqing Qimen" is obtained or not doesn't have much effect.

Lao Cai nodded after hearing me say this: "Yes." Then he said excitedly: "I can finally go home,, I've had enough of this dead old man's expression like he has eaten his rice all day long." ”

That night, I told Wang Sheng about my decision to leave tomorrow, and he was a little reluctant and tried his best to keep me for a few more days.

Old man Li looked indifferent, as if he had been waiting for this sentence for a long time.
