Walking into the hall again, Luo Xingmu had already lit the kerosene lamp, took off his shroud, put on a half-new sheepskin jacket, pushed away the paper figures sitting around the table of the eight immortals, sat down first, and said to Luo Lie, who had just entered the door: "Sit!"

Luo Lie didn't say anything polite to him, sat down opposite Luo Xingmu, saw Luo Xingmu picking up tobacco leaves from the basket, skillfully rolled up the cigarette roll, and quickly took out a box of cigarettes from his arms, took out one from it and handed it over.

Luo Xingmu grinned, took the cigarette handed by Luo Lie, clamped it on his right ear, and then continued to roll his cigarette, and after a while, the kung fu was completed, put it in his mouth, picked up the kerosene lamp on the table, lifted the blackened glass lampshade, leaned on the flame and took two sips hard, the flame jumped suddenly because of his breath and inhalation.

The room was soon filled with the choking smell of inferior tobacco, and Luo Xingmu's gaze fell on Luo Lie's face: "You don't smoke it yourself?"

Luo Lie said: "I'm so tired that I haven't gotten my anger yet!" He didn't lie, the battle just now made him tired enough.

Luo Xingmu understood this sentence as a compliment to himself, and he laughed, his face was full of wrinkles and squeezed together when he laughed, like a chrysanthemum blooming, and his mouth was grinning, revealing a mouth full of teeth that had turned black and yellow due to smoke and fire. It's hard not to associate him with the word old and ugly, but Luo Xingmu's eyes don't see age, and his smile seems to be narrowed into a thin slit, and the gap is full of essence, like an old fox who has cultivated for thousands of years.

Luo Lie took out the letter that Luo Xingmu sent to him from his pocket, and folded it very well, which was also the only token to prove his identity.

Luo Xingmu picked up the letter and glanced at it, then he put it on the kerosene lamp and burned it, and after lighting it, he threw it on the ground, ignoring that there was still a paper figure lying on the ground, and the paper figure quickly burned when it caught fire, and the whole hall suddenly became much brighter.

Luo Xingmu was indifferent, and Luo Lie didn't go over to put out the fire, because he saw the paper figure lying in an open place, and it was impossible for the fire to spread to the periphery.

The room was particularly bright because of the burning of the paper figures, Luo Xingmu took a hard puff of cigarette, opened his mouth, just spit out a cloud of smoke, and then swallowed all the smoke back with great pity, closed his eyes very much, and didn't open them for a long time, and even Luo Lie mistakenly thought that he had fallen asleep.

Luo Xingmu suddenly opened his eyes again, looked at Luo Lie in a daze, and said, "I thought you wouldn't come, or I was already dead when you came here to see me." ”

Luo Lie said: "Your old man is very strong, and ordinary young people will definitely not be your opponent!"

Luo Xingmu said: "It seems that our two masters still have some fate. He took out a photo from his arms and put it in front of Luo Lie.

Luo Lie picked up the photo, the photo is a young man wearing a horse coat and a steel knife hanging from his waist, in his prime, full of spirit, looking at the outline of his eyebrows and eyes is actually a little similar to Luo Xingmu, look at the time on the photo, this photo was taken ten years ago, obviously it will not be Luo Xingmu, Luo Lie asked tentatively: "Your son?"

Luo Xingmu smiled: "It's me!"

Luo Lie was stunned in his heart, ten years can actually turn a young man into an old man, is it Luo Xingmu deceiving himself or is there something amazing happening to him? He compared the young man in the photo with the old man in front of him, and finally found some similarities from the outline.

Luo Xingmu said: "I'm not your distant uncle, I'm your own uncle, your father's name is Luo Xingjin, my name is Luo Xingmu, we have five brothers, but they are not arranged in the order of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, your father is the fourth, I am the fifth, and there are three brothers above, all of whom are named according to their birthdays, you don't know that there are so many uncles and uncles, the old man must tell you that he has only one only son who is your father." ”

Luo Lie pursed his lips and didn't speak, he didn't know much about the previous generation, he was a widow, his father died before he was born, so he had no impression of his father, his mother died when he was seven years old, and he was only raised by his grandfather since then, and it was then that he knew that he still had a grandfather in this world, Grandpa Luo Gongquan was not smiling, and rarely talked to himself on weekdays, except for urging himself to endorse and study, he rarely communicated at other times, and even spared to say a word of concern to himself, but Luo Lie thought that his grandfather was just not good at expressing himself, and he still cared about himself in his heart, otherwise he would not sell his property, poured all his family wealth and sent himself to study abroad.

Luo Xingmu said: "Our old Luo family should have suffered a curse, the boss called Luo Xinghuo, when he was two years old, the second Luo Xingtu was born, and it didn't take long for the eldest to die, and the second lived to be three years old and gave birth to the third Luo Xingshui, but on the day the third child was born, the second child fell into the well and drowned, and I thought it was an accident at the time."

When the third Luo Xingshui was five years old, your father was born, and the old man donated money and found someone to see feng shui, and it was really peaceful for two years, but when your father was two years old, the seven-year-old third child was robbed by bandits and tore up the ticket, at that time the old man knew that there must be a problem with the feng shui at home, and he moved and moved the grave, and he didn't dare to have children at that time, but he should always come, when your father was seven years old, my mother was pregnant with me again, and I forgot to tell you that my mother is a continuation. ”

Luo Lie listened silently, and finally understood that Luo Xingmu and his father were half-brothers, but he had never heard him mention these things in the eight years he had lived with his grandfather. Most people understand the principle that the five elements are mutually reinforcing, but why did Grandpa insist on naming his sons from the five elements?

Luo Xingmu said: "When the old man heard that my mother was pregnant, instead of feeling the slightest joy, he asked my mother to have a baby. ”

Luo Lie sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that his grandfather was really frightened by these things in the past, but it was cruel to let the second grandmother have a fetus in this way, but it should not have been successful, otherwise Luo Xingmu would not have talked about the past in front of him.

Luo Xingmu said: "My mother begged hard, the old man was still hard-hearted, and even instructed the maid to mix the fetal medicine in my mother's meal, I never thought that the maid's conscience found out, and quietly told my mother about it, so my mother was completely dead, took some gold and silver from home, and fled from her hometown while the old man was unprepared." ”

Luo Lie secretly thought in his heart, if everything Luo Xingmu said was true, then his fate could also be called a bumpy and turbulent exile, but judging from his worship of his grandfather's spiritual position, he didn't seem to have a grudge against his grandfather for abandoning their mother and son.

Luo Xingmu said: "My mother took me to live in Jinmen, incognito, for fear of being found by the old man, until I was fifteen years old, my mother was seriously ill, before she died, she couldn't bear me to live alone for a lifetime, so I told me my life experience, I learned about my life experience, I hated my father in my heart, after my mother died, I finished her funeral, and I thought about going back to the Luo family to take revenge. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, but the half of the cigarette in his hand had already been extinguished, he lit the half of the cigarette again, and took two puffs before continuing: "I just entered Quancheng, and I saw the gate of the Luo family, and I saw that the Luo family was doing a funeral, but your father was gone, I quietly inquired, the day your father died was the day I knew my identity, and more coincidentally, your father died in Jinmen, maybe he and I also had a face-to-face meeting." ”

Luo Lie frowned, although he was not superstitious, he still felt that this matter was evil enough, and said in a low voice: "You mean that my father was killed by you?"

Luo Xingmu shook his head and said, "I don't think so, your father was poisoned, and he has a debtor, and this matter can't fall on my head." Besides, he is a golden life and I am a wooden life, even if it is a fate, it should be him who overcomes me. ”

Luo Lie clenched his fists, although he didn't have much impression of his father, but when he heard that his father died of his death, he still had hatred in his heart, and the hatred of killing his father was not shared, if he knew who was the enemy who killed his father, he would definitely repay this blood debt for his father.

Luo Xingmu said: "I wanted to leave, but finally I couldn't help but go to see your grandfather, I wanted to question him face to face, I wanted to humiliate him, revenge for his desperation of abandoning our mother and son, but I didn't expect that as soon as he saw me, he recognized me, and called my name, he asked me to go, don't let anyone know about our relationship, and gave me a letter, he also said that this letter must be opened after his death, did not say the reason, just said that I will understand when he dies to the grave." ”

Speaking of this, Luo Xingmu stopped, and then remembered something: "Do you drink tea?"

Luo Lie shook his head and said, "I'm not thirsty!" After listening to this uncle talk about so many bizarre pasts, Luo Lie almost forgot about other things, not to mention that he couldn't tell whether Luo Xingmu was friend or foe, and he couldn't tell if he would be unfavorable to himself.

Luo Xingmu took out the cigarette that Luo Lie gave him from behind his ear and lit it, took a puff and said, "The foreigner's stuff is just not enough! You are very cautious, are you worried that I will harm you?"

Luo Lie smiled indifferently: "You are an elder, how can you be as concerned as a junior like me?" His answer was very decent and ingenious.

Luo Xingmu nodded and said: "Our Luo family is now left with you, the only seedling, it's always a good thing to be cautious, be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, or continue to talk about my affairs." The paper figure on the ground was completely burned into a pile of ashes, the kerosene lamp was beating, the light was very dim, Luo Xingmu's face was mostly hidden in the shadows, with the light of the cigarette butt flickering, he whispered: "I naturally won't listen to him, and after leaving, I will open the letter, guess what's inside?"
