Xu Hao was bored at home all day, searching for entries related to the soul world on the Internet, trying to trace some clues, but found nothing. Chen Ping also stayed at home, two men, one old and one young, living in an apartment of less than 30 square meters.

Xu Hao sat in front of the computer and searched on the map of China with his eyes glowing, and suddenly Xu Hao found something: "Master." Come and see, what do these nine cities look like together?"

Chen Ping stretched his waist and lazily approached the computer. "Like what?"

"It's not like a spoon. If you subtract two, it will look like the Big Dipper. ”

"Spoon?" Chen Ping cheered up and watched Xu Hao connect these cities with red lines. "It's not a spoon, it's a yin-yang fish, it's a magatama. ”

"Hook jade?" Xu Hao didn't think about it, but Chen Ping said that it really felt more like Hook Jade, especially Luoyang in the middle.

The more Xu Hao looked at it, the more he turned around and packed up some things: "Master, how much money do you have there, we will go to Luoyang tomorrow." ”

"Ah, go to Luoyang, you're too quick to decide, aren't you? ”

"Luoyang must be the junction of the two worlds. It must be. Hurry up and go to bed, I'll buy my ticket now and I'll be there early tomorrow morning. ”

Chen Ping felt that after Xu Hao woke up, his personality became more impatient and assertive, and he was no longer as submissive and timid as before. Chen Ping was a little happy that his apprentice had grown up.

"Master, can you hurry up? I'll catch a plane. Xu Hao urged the taxi driver.

"Urge, this car is like this, can I fly over?" the taxi driver whined impatiently.

Chen Ping couldn't sit still and played with the three copper coins in his hand: "Xu Hao, it's a big drain, I think let's choose a day." ”

"Master, you haven't been on a plane before, the plane will be fine. And we're going to find a crossing point, not going out to do business, don't be so superstitious. Chen Ping looked out the window uneasily, and continued to rub the three rusty copper coins in his hand.

Finally arrived at the airport thirty minutes before boarding, Xu Hao pulled Chen Ping to change the boarding pass, and just walked into the airport gate. Several big men with tattoos stopped Chen Ping and Xu Hao.

"Big brother, please let us go, we are too late to change the boarding pass. ”

"Let's let it?hahahaha, it's you who stop you. Several big men next to him also laughed.

"Brother Tiger, I didn't mean that. After a few days of tolerance, my child is a rich second generation, and his parents will give him money after a while, and I will pay it back to you. ”

Xu Hao's eyes darkened when he heard this, and he looked at Chen Ping. Chen Ping winked. Xu Hao's words came to his mouth and swallowed back.

"Oh, Brother Chen, what about you treating us as three-year-olds? Do you think we borrowed money from you without collateral and there is no way to recover it? You Chen Ping bought a ticket to Beijing at 8:30 today and from Beijing to Luoyang. Do you want me to tell you the flight number? ”

As soon as Xu Hao heard that these people were not small, he hurriedly helped to lie: "Luoyang is my family, several eldest brothers, I am the second generation of the rich, go back to Luoyang to find my parents to get money." ”

"Go to the rich second generation, who are you fooling, I investigated your identity, your father Xu Guowen died in a car accident last year, and his wife also died in the second month of the following, and the last time we paid back our money was your father's pension. Are you a vegetarian?", he said, pushing Xu Hao to the ground.

Chen Ping hurriedly rushed forward: "Brothers, come at me for anything, don't be embarrassed for the child." ”

"Ouch, now you're a hero? You have to sell your kidneys and get the money back. ”

Chen Ping was covered in sweat: "Okay, I'll sell my kidney." ”

"Damn, are you stupid for us? Selling kidneys is illegal. ”

", you also know that you are breaking the law, so don't loan sharks break the law?" Xu Hao knew that these people were not small. But I couldn't help but say more.

"Brothers, call me. ”

Several big men stretched out their hands and pushed Xu Hao and Chen Ping to the ground, punching and kicking. When the secret service saw it, he hurriedly came over to stop it. Only then did he stop the big man. The strong man in the lead saw the special service take out a box of cigarettes and handed one over: "Xiao Wu, this kid owes me money." ”

The tall and thin agent took the cigarette and put it in his mouth: "Brother Tiger, you have been chasing people at two ends in the past three days, and I can't explain it, you want to fight, take it out to fight." Brother just turns a blind eye, you see?"

The strong man lit the cigarette in the agent's mouth and said, "Okay, you two will help me invite these two boys out." ”

After listening to this, the two spies helped Xu Hao and Chen Ping to drag them out. "Is there a royal law, they beat people, what are you dragging me for?"

The thin and tall special service said disdainfully with a cigarette in his mouth: "We have no way to repay the debt, and you belong to a civil dispute, which is not within our jurisdiction, we see a fight, so we will take you to a quiet place outside to deal with it, and you can't affect order in a public place." ”

Xu Hao was only a teenager and didn't know the sinister nature of society, so he said with an innocent face: "But, big brother security, our plane will take off in more than ten minutes." ”

"That's not under our jurisdiction, if you make any more trouble, come with us to the office. ”

Chen Ping was silent, and suddenly his whole body convulsed violently, and several big men kicked on his stomach: "You kid, don't pretend." ”

Chen Ping fell to the ground, convulsing violently and vomiting all over the ground. Xu Hao didn't know what the situation was, so he struggled to break free: "Let me see what's wrong with my master." ”

The big man saw that this posture did not look like pretending, and he stood in place and did not dare to move. The special services hurried to maintain order. "Master, master. What happened to you. Xu Hao, Chen Ping held it in his arms and shook violently. vomited all over Xu Hao's body.

"Don't shake, let him lie flat, it could be epilepsy. ”

"Epilepsy?" Xu Hao looked at Dahan in surprise: "I have been with my master for more than a year, I didn't know he had this problem." ”

"Don't worry about it, hurry up and lie him down, you will shake him to death if you shake him like this. As soon as Xu Hao heard the word "death", he instantly let go of his hand, and Chen Ping's head fell heavily to the ground. Xu Hao is too afraid of losing his master, he has watched his father die in front of him in the past year, followed by his mother, and then he himself died once, if Chen Ping is really dead now, Xu Hao really doesn't know how to survive.

With a familiar voice, 120 arrived. Several medical staff pushed away the crowd and asked, "Are there any family members of the patient?" It is estimated that it is a cerebral hemorrhage, and now we must rush to the hospital for craniotomy." ”

Xu Haoleng froze in place: "I'm ...... I am his apprentice. ”

"Apprentice, no, it's about the safety of life, hurry up and contact his family. ”

"He has no family, just me, a son and an apprentice. ”

A young female nurse next to her asked, "Can you pay for the medical bills?"

Xu Hao stood up tremblingly: "Yes." ”

"It's good if you can, hurry up and get into the car, you go and prepare a deposit of 100,000, it's not enough, and we'll tell you." ”

"100,000?" Xu Hao didn't know that the hospital's surgery fee was so expensive, and he should have no money in his card. Xu Hao suddenly thought of usury, turned his head to look for the strong man of loan shark, and found that it was gone, probably because he saw that the matter was serious, and quickly left the scene while the chaos was in place.

Chen Ping was carried on a stretcher and put in the ambulance, Xu Hao's tears couldn't stop flowing along the way, and once again a strong ambivalence, an indescribable taste, when he arrived at the hospital, Xu Hao went to go through the hospitalization procedures, Xu Hao trembled and took out Chen Ping's two bank cards.

"There's not enough money in either of them. ”

"Ah...... No, you can try 50,000 per sheet. ”

"Both are also less than 50,000. ”

"Uh...... You can try to brush 20,000 more per sheet. ”

"Still nothing. Do you have any money, don't delay here if you don't have money, and there are other patients. Either you go and scrape together the money, when the money arrives, when to rescue. ”

"Don't. You rescue first, I will scrape together enough money and make up for you immediately. ”

The slightly obese nurse at the counter rolled her eyes: "That's not good, we have a rule here, you can't pay a penny less, if you can't afford it then, we will have to pay for the loss ourselves." ”

"Isn't the hospital meant to save lives......?

"We have seen a lot of people like you, and we have had a knife to save our lives, and then we have no money to give, and a few times a year, the hospital doesn't have to be opened. ”

The man behind "You ......" pushed Xu Hao away: "You don't have any money, hurry up and make it up, you occupy the pit and don't, we still remember it." Get up. ”

Xu Hao's tears couldn't stop flowing. Sure enough, no money is absolutely impossible. Xu Hao collapsed and squatted and wept bitterly, could it be because of his own incompetence that he once again saw his loved ones leave? Xu Hao suddenly thought that Chen Ping had borrowed a loan shark, could he also borrow it, but he didn't have a loan shark phone, "loan shark?" How much did Chen Ping borrow, and if he didn't have it, how could he lose his fingers? Xu Hao hurriedly walked to the ATM machine at the entrance of the hospital and inserted his card, "Balance: 244400." Xu Hao patted his head and wanted to slap the two of them, why are you so stupid, of course the money from loan sharks can't be stored in his own name. Xu Hao hurriedly ran back and ran directly to the window: "Miss." I have money here, hurry up and save people. ”

The bustling crowd behind suddenly exploded: "Boy, don't you know how to line up?" "How can you cut the line? ”

Xu Hao shouted loudly: "I went to raise money and came back, don't shout especially for the team that plugs in Nima." Being shouted by Xu Hao, the entire hospital fell silent. Xu Hao took the issued receipt and hurriedly ran to the emergency room.

In the past few days, Chen Ping has always been half-asleep and half-awake in the intensive care unit, and the so-called waking up is only his eyes open, and he can't understand what he says.

Xu Hao fell asleep beside Chen Ping's bed again.

"Xu Hao. ”

Xu Hao opened his eyes and saw Chen Ping standing beside his bed, tears in his eyes with excitement: "Master, you are finally getting better." ”

"Xu Hao, listen to me first, my time is running out, you have to remember everything I say now. ”

"Master, don't say that, it's good to get better, you still have more days to live. ”

Chen Ping doesn't care about Xu Hao. continued: "The master learned the art of divination from the old gentleman since he was a child, and the old gentleman was a blind man, without a father or a mother. Adopted by an old gentleman. From then on, they depended on each other. Follow the old gentleman to the north and south, and rely on divination to mix some food. The old gentleman took my hand and said that I am a lone star in the sky, and I will not have children in my life, but at the age of forty, I will have a love apprentice, which is better than my own flesh and blood, but this person is also a lone star in the sky, and I will fight for his life. Finally, at the age of forty-two, he died. ”

Xu Hao stood in place and listened to Chen Ping tell the past he had never heard of.

"Xu Hao, you are my beloved apprentice, today is the day of the master's return to heaven, although I did not teach you all what I have learned, but it is enough for you to make decisions in the future, you must remember the master's words. When you can't make a decision, you have to divinate to get a good plan. and my three bronze coins, which I also delivered to you, which were handed down to me by the old gentleman, and I will pass them on to you today. ”

Xu Hao was just about to ask. I woke up suddenly, sweating profusely, and when I came back to my senses, I realized that I had a dream to see that the master next to me was still lying quietly. Xu Hao breathed a sigh of relief and planned to fetch some water to wipe the master's body. As soon as he got up, he dropped three copper coins on his body. Xu Hao picked up the copper coin, looked at the master with palpitations, and was a little panicked. Quickly touch your nose. Sure enough, the master was no longer breathing. Xu Hao shouted with all his strength: "Nurse." Doctor, help, come on. ”

The doctor is no longer able to return to heaven, so tell Xu Hao to handle the aftermath. Xu Hao didn't cry or make trouble, and held the three copper coins handed to him by the master tightly in his hand.
