We weren't very hungry, but helplessly the old man's kind invitation, everyone had to pick up a steamed bun and eat it, this steamed bun turned out to be a little rancid, I smiled awkwardly at the uncle, and said, uncle...... This steamed bun ...... It seems a little rancid......

Yes? The old man took a moment, then picked up a steamed bun and took a big bite, and said to me, I'm sorry, I don't have anything here...... I always eat steamed buns like this...... After the old man said this, I realized that there are some poor and backward people in Miaojiang in the Western Regions, and the food here is naturally not very good. My eyes looked in all directions, and if I used four words to describe this old man's home, it could only be said that it was a family with four walls.

There are no floor tiles on the ground, just some dim sand, and the top of the head is layer after layer of leaky straw, and even a few drops of rain will drop from time to time in some places, and the walls on all sides are also built with wood of I don't know how many years, and the concrete and kang are just some bricks built up, and a few layers of bedding are spread on it. I'm a little surprised, is there only the old man living in this place?

Chu Xuan and the others also have the same doubts as me, uncle, are you the only one in your family?

When Chu Xuan asked here, the old man's expression was obviously stunned, and an indescribable sadness flashed in his eyes, and he nodded and said, Yes, I am the only one who lives.

That...... What about the eldest lady? Chu Xuan asked with a tentative inquiry.

My wife was so busy during the day that she only came home at night. The old man paused and said, and then quickly put the remaining half of the steamed bun into his mouth.

Yes? What is Auntie busy with? Chu Xuan felt curious.

I didn't do anything, I just walked outside.

Then why did she come back at night? Chu Xuan scratched his head with some doubts, it seems that the old man should only be in his early sixties, then his boss should be about this age, since he is not busy with anything, why does he come back every night? It's a bit out of line with the people here.

Because...... She...... She's gone...... It's going to be in my dreams at night, haha...... The old man laughed heartlessly, and the steamed dandruffs in his mouth would squirt out one or two grains from time to time, and his eyes became red, which was originally a very funny image, but everyone present couldn't laugh at all.

Uncle...... Excuse me...... I don't know this, I didn't mean to poke you in pain. Chu Xuan said with some embarrassment and guilt.

It's okay, it's okay, baby, where are you talking about this? The old man waved his hand and said, it's good for me to live alone, hey, let me tell you, when my wife was there, she chattered me all day long, and now that she is gone, no one talks about me anymore, I feel very good, my ears are quiet, but I don't know what, after she left, my heart always feels empty. The old man said simply, his face could not hide his sadness, and my heart sank to the bottom.

Okay, okay, let's eat quickly, what do you want her to do when you eat? Saying that, the old man stuffed a rancid steamed bun into each of our hands, and we ate this steamed bun at this time, and we no longer felt rancid, so I ate the steamed bun in three or two bites.

To be honest, I don't really have many people here. The old man opened the conversation with us while eating, I don't even have a person to talk to every day, but it's no wonder, since my wife is gone, I'm notoriously weird temper, whoever comes to my house, I have to blast someone out. It's been like this for many years. The old man said.

Yes? Uncle, I think you have a good temper...... Chu Xuan said.

What's the matter, the old man waved his hand, when you first came in, didn't you see that I was about to beat you with a burning stick? Is this called a good temper?

Then why didn't you drive us away? Chu Xuan was a little nonsensical.

Because he looks like my son. The old man stretched out his hand and pointed to Xiao Feng who was sitting in the corner, Xiao Feng looked at the old man for a moment, and then pointed at himself with some doubts, opening his mouth, I?

That's right, the old man nodded, alas...... Don't mention it...... Don't mention it...... It's sad to mention it......

Uncle, do you have a son? So where is your son now? Chu Xuan hurriedly asked. As soon as the old man's son was mentioned, the old man was angry, hmph, don't mention that rebel to me again, that rebel didn't learn all day long, lost money in the casino, stole all the family's savings to pay off the debt, and was sold to the Gu factory! If it weren't for him, my wife wouldn't have been to death! The old man said this, gritted his teeth, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.

What the......? The eldest lady was angry with him? But...... What is the Gu Factory? Chu Xuan continued to ask.

You are northerners, you don't understand the affairs of our Western Regions, our entire Western Regions is divided into two parts, the south is called the Western Regions, and the north is called Miaojiang, so our place, most people call it the Western Regions Miaojiang, you should know, right? The old man explained to us, do you know, what is the most famous thing in our place?

Best known? I groaned and touched my chin, could it be Gu?

No. The old man shook his head and said, We are here, the most famous is poison, and the most famous thing in Miao Jiang is Gu. The old man is a local resident here, and he naturally knows more about these things than we do, and when the old man saw us with a confused look, he hurriedly explained, this Gu poison Gu poison came from this way, but there is also a difference between Gu and poison, let's put it this way, if you want to kill a person, then use poison. But if you want to torture a person to death, then use Gu. At this time, I suddenly thought of the Western Regions Begonia, that the Western Regions Begonia gave me the Western Regions Soul Scatter, which is a kind of poison, if I don't take the antidote for a day, my liver and intestines will be broken, and my whole body will die of thick blood. But because I have been washed and the poison in my body has been washed out, I don't have to be afraid of the poison scattered by the Western Regions.

So what kind of place is the Gu Factory?

Alas...... The old man sighed, the Gu factory is the place where Gu worms are cultivated, in the territory of Miao Jiang. Although I am from here, I hate this kind of thing, and he has been contaminated with gambling, not to mention, and has been contaminated with these harmful things, and I have no dealings with him now...... For so many years, I have lived by myself...... Although the old man said so, but his words also revealed his longing for his son, from what he said just now that Xiao Feng looks like his son, it is not difficult to see that how can parents in the world not want their own children? Even if the child makes a big mistake, the parents will forgive. But this kind of love is often irreversible, only parents love their children, but it is rare to see children love their parents, but more often, they want to raise their children and do not treat them.

Far from it.

So what did he do in the Gu Factory? We hurriedly asked.

I don't know, it should be something like being a thug, although the Western Regions and Miao Jiang are the same place, but there are always some disputes in these two places, the Western Regions say that poison is authentic, but Miao Jiang insists that Gu art is the most authentic thing, and the two sects in the two places have been fighting each other for so many years, so there is a shortage of some thugs. My son was sold to pay off his debts. The old man sighed and said.

We couldn't help but feel sorry for what happened to this old man, but to get back to the point, we can't forget the purpose of this trip, I hurriedly asked, old man, have you ever heard of a place called Wugu?

Ukyu? The old man paused for a moment, then pondered, and shook his head, our place doesn't seem to have the name of Wugu as you said.

I'm a little disappointed, it should be in this generation......

I don't know about that. The old man shook his head, we had to give up, until the rain outside stopped, we walked out, before leaving, I took out the four hundred yuan on my body, and took out two hundred to give the old man, two hundred yuan may not be a lot for the city, but for this remote mountainous area, it is likely to be a year's living expenses, the old man repeatedly refused, but I still gave him the money.

No wonder Zhao Yun said that this money will be of some use to me, and now it seems that it really comes in handy, I smiled bitterly, put the rest of the money in my pocket, and walked in the direction guided by the old man.

The old man said that he had not communicated with the outside world for many years, so the name of the place may not be known to him, but others should also know, and the road he showed me was a country road leading to more people's homes. I secretly sighed in my heart, the place where this old man lives is so far away from people! It's just too remote. And Chu Xuan kept pouting on the side, the old man was so pitiful, no one knew about his illness.

I smiled bitterly and didn't say anything, because that was the fate of the old man. I know by looking at the old man's face that he is a hard-working man, and when his life is bitter to a certain extent, no one can change it, even if we help him, we can only ease it for a while, and it will not play much role at all.

Walking towards the front, I saw several families in twos and threes, all of which were built with brick houses, which looked many times wider than the old man's thatched hut.
