Chapter 210: Old Man

The longevity lock is small and exquisite, but there are a few rusty spots on it, and the longevity lock is also worn in the forest, except for Gui Sheng, there will be no one else, not to mention, the longevity lock is only worn by children.

Su Xiaoqi was prepared in his heart, and it was already a great luck to be able to find the longevity lock on Gui Sheng's body. Putting away the longevity lock, Su Xiaoqi was about to walk out of the nest, when he suddenly looked at the roof and stopped.

He saw a green herb that looked like a cow's tongue, and it grew on the roof of the house. Why does the ox tongue herb, a herb that has a miraculous effect on external injuries, grow on the roof of the house, it is very likely that the Nine Soul Ape mixed the seeds of the ox tongue grass together in the mud when building the house.

Su Xiaoqi had a strange feeling in his heart for no reason, he raised his feet to pull out the oxtongue grass, but the oxtongue grass seemed to be deeply rooted, and he couldn't pull it off several times.

Frowning slightly, Su Xiaoqi pushed away the soil on the side of the herb, and sure enough, as he thought, in the soil, he saw Sen Bai's hand bones, which were in the shape of a fist, clutching the root of the ox tongue grass.

Small hands, don't think about it, most of them are the Nine Soul Ape mixed the scattered bones into the mud when building the nest, so the longevity lock will be in its hand. It seems like a deliberately designed plot, but things in the world are like this, always full of all kinds of coincidences, and it is at least a happy thing to be able to find Gui Sheng.

The oval-shaped mud house was dismantled, and there was more than one skeleton inside, but Gui Sheng's skeleton was small and still very recognizable. It took two or three hours for Su Xiaoqi to finally assemble the broken bones completely, the only regret was that there were still a few pieces of bones missing.

......

After completing the old man's entrustment, Su Xiaoqi's footsteps out of the forest were brisk, and to his surprise, the outer palace disciple who blocked the silver pine sea forest actually disappeared.

Looking at the footprints on the ground, it was still very fresh, and these disciples had not been long gone, at most it was a day.

The heart suddenly tightened, Su Xiaoqi could think of why these people were not there, when the inn became a shop, they naturally had no need to stay in the forest.

Thinking of this, Su Xiaoqi immediately flew away from the forest. The dilapidated inn on the small mound was gone, leaving only ruins.

The old man, covered in blood, was lying in the rubble, and it took a long time for his stomach to agitate, and he was still angry.

Su Xiaoqi didn't dare to hesitate, hurriedly swept up the dirt slope, squatted beside the old man, and looked at the gradually dilated eyes.

Xu is noticed that there was someone around him, and his godless pupils began to focus slowly, and the old man suddenly had the strength, squeezed Su Xiaoqi's hand tightly, and said in a dumb voice: "Gui...... Gui Sheng ...... Come back...... Are you back?"

Su Xiaoqi took out the longevity lock and put it in the old man's hand, shook the old man's hand and said, "Fortunately, I don't disgrace my life." ”

Muddy tears suddenly flowed out of the old man's eyes, "My son...... My son...... Finally home. ”

"Can you ...... Can I look at him again?" pleaded the old man with tears in his eyes.

The bones were wrapped in cloth, spread out, and the little man was still holding the oxtongue grass, as if grasping the most important thing in life.

The old man stretched out his hand tremblingly, but before he could touch the skull, he retracted his hand, "He was still a child who didn't know much when he left......"

Su Xiaoqi was silent for a long time, and said, "Have they been here?"

The old man replied sadly, "Come on...... I've been here. ”

"What about people?" Su Xiaoqi looked around, "Gone?"

"They want to prepare to build the shop today, so they all go back to the Hongyun Gambling House to prepare. The old man's pale face became more and more rosy, as if he had suddenly gained health.

Su Xiaoqi pursed his lips and said, "What other wishes do you have?"

"Wish?" the old man froze and laughed miserably, "Do people like me still have a wish?"

Su Xiaoqi said strangely: "Why do you say that?"

"It's all deserved. The old man cried bitterly, "I deserve it." ”

The old man looked at the small corpse and touched the biting cold, "When I was young, I was a well-known rich man, but because of gambling, I lost all my family property, and my daughter-in-law also died of illness."

The child doesn't understand anything, even if it's sleeping in the open air, Gui Sheng didn't complain a word, he was too sensible, he was really too sensible.

That year, when Xifeng had just died, the villagers saw that we were pitiful and couldn't even afford a thin coffin, so they made up a little bit for each of us, and gave our grandfather three taels of silver.

Three taels of broken silver were prepared to buy a coffin for Xifeng. The old man paused for a moment, and then said, "I said to Gui Sheng, 'I said, your mother is buried in the ground and rotten, let's just use this money to buy a house to live in, and wrap your mother in a mat and bury it.'" ’

Gui Sheng didn't understand anything, he just asked me, 'Dad, why did my mother go underground?

Gui Sheng was only five years old that year, he didn't understand anything, he just thought that Xi Feng was sick and couldn't lift his strength, so he just drank a bowl of medicine. ”

"On the day of burying the fine phoenix, I took Gui Sheng away, at that time I went to the brothel every day, and I didn't have any strength to work, so I finished burying the fine phoenix, and it was from noon to the night.

I was so confused, Gui Sheng didn't show up for a day, I even forgot about it, I searched everywhere, until the rooster crowed, and then I took him out of the bridge hole.

I beat him, he didn't say anything, and later I learned that he was going to decoction medicine for Xifeng, but he didn't see me looking for him for a long time, so he fell asleep tired. ”

The old man wiped his tears and cried: "Later, we bought a house by the Yinsong Sea Forest, at first Gui Sheng asked me where Xi Feng went, but then he stopped asking, he probably also knew that Xi Feng was dead."

Just the two of us were left, and there was still some silver left, so I bought a cow, one was to cultivate the land, and the other was to be a companion with Gui Sheng.

Gui Sheng likes cows, and he revolves around them all day long, so he lives in a cowshed. It's not bad to be poor, that's what I thought at the time.

When there is land to plant, there are fewer and fewer days when there is no food. Until one day, I saw Ma Laohan in the south of the village win a few hundred taels of silver from the gambling house and came back, and pushed the grass house to build a brick house, and my mind came alive again.

I went to the bazaar and sold the cattle, and got five taels of silver into the gambling house, thinking that I would not only make a fortune by turning the grass house into a brick house, but also by taking back all the property I had gambled on.

I didn't even gamble a penny, and I went down for five taels of silver, and it was gone in the blink of an eye, I don't know how I got out, I just thought what would happen if Gui Sheng knew that I sold his cattle?

I didn't dare to face Gui Sheng, I went home several times, and then I retreated, and then I found a stone to smash my head and broke the blood, saying that someone robbed the cow, and I couldn't catch up after chasing for a long time, and beat me.

I am Gui Sheng's father, he didn't dare to ask me more, he really believed that I was beaten and couldn't get out of bed. ”[.]
