Why?

I'm afraid it's not the drowning man who is asking for your life.

Li Jiuan lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then returned.

"Have you been in the water a lot lately?"

"This is nature, how can there be no one in our village who does not go into the water."

"It may be that I met someone who died unjustly in the water and wanted to find you to replace him."

When the young man heard Li Jiuan say this, he became anxious for a while.

"What should I do, Captain?"

The young man in front of him hadn't asked yet, but someone next to him had already asked first.

Li Jiuan turned his head to look, only to see that everyone around him had quieted down, and his face was a little anxious, leaving only the childish child looking left and right in confusion.

That's a lot.

Li Jiuan looked around at everyone's reactions and suddenly smiled.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you don't go into the water, if you don't get close to the river, you'll be fine, and those unjust souls in the water will naturally go down the river after a while."

Everyone was relieved when they heard this, and the atmosphere was relaxed again.

"Dao Chief, I'm going to ask too, I'm going to ask too."

A cry came from outside the crowd.

Li Jiu'an looked beyond the crowd to find a voice, this was a sloppy teenager, holding his hands high outside the crowd.

"Nonsense, what do you have to ask."

When the old man saw the young man, he immediately asked, and then turned his head to explain to Li Jiu'an.

"Don't blame the Taoist chief, that's a fool."

Idiot?

Li Jiu'an's eyes were clear when he looked at the young man, and his heart moved.

"It's okay, maybe a fool can see something that ordinary people can't see."

After saying that, he waved his hand and motioned for the young man to come in.

"Hey, hey, hey."

The young man walked through the crowd with a foolish smile, and he didn't care about the saliva left from the corners of his mouth, looking stupid.

"Hey, hey, Daoist, I'll teach you immortality."

The stupid boy stared at Li Jiuan for another laugh, and then said something amazing.

Teach me immortality?

Li Jiuan shook his head, as far as he knew, there was also no way to live forever in this world.

"You're going to live forever?"

"Hey, hey, hey, as long as..."

Saying that, a grunt suddenly came out of the foolish boy's belly, and he stopped talking, touching his stomach and staring at the Taoist priest's pocket.

"Hungry, eat."

There were a few buns in that pocket, this man was stupid, and his eyes and nose were quite good.

Li Jiuan smiled and took out the bun and handed it to him.

"Oh, as long as you eat something, you can live forever."

Can you live forever by eating?

Why don't you say that as long as you breathe, you won't die.

Li Jiuan felt amused as he watched the foolish boy running out all the way with his hands dancing.

.......

Next, many people asked one by one, and Li Jiuan took the trouble to answer them.

After these questions and answers, the Taoist priest learned a lot of news.

It's just that most of these messages are not very practical.

For example, the widow of money in the west recently met a man of God in a dream, and her life was very nourishing. The old man Shen in the south was even more outrageous, his myopia suddenly improved, and he said that he could see things a lot more clearly.

There are also children falling into pits, seeing ghosts in the middle of the night, and so on.

After everyone asked, it was already dark.

The old man looked at the sky and tapped the ground with his cane.

"It's not too early, let the Taoist rest early." The old man turned his head and looked at Li Jiu'an apologetically, "Originally, the Taoist chief was so helpful, the little old man should have invited the Taoist chief to eat, but our village really has nothing to eat, if the Taoist chief doesn't dislike it, take off his robe, and let Aunt Wang sew and mend one or two for the Taoist chief." ”

Li Jiuan looked at the expressions of the people around him, obviously full of energy, but it didn't look like he hadn't eaten.

Is it really not or unwilling? Or maybe it's something else.

"Don't bother Aunt Wang, Poor Dao will get up early tomorrow and go straight on the road."

When the old man saw that the Taoist priest refused, he didn't say much, and after dispersing the onlookers, he led him all the way to his house.

The old man is in the village, has an old wife, but his legs and feet are not good, he is at home all the year round, he doesn't go out much, and he has a son, but he never came back after going out a few years ago.

Li Jiuan followed behind the old man and carefully observed the structure of the village, but unfortunately he didn't find anything wrong after looking at it for a long time, this is what an ordinary village looks like.

Am I overthinking?

Li Jiuan had some doubts in his mind.

It shouldn't be.

"Dao Chief, that's Xiao Lao'er's house, I'll be here soon."

The old man reached out and pointed forward.

Li Jiuan nodded slightly, and looked in the direction of the old man's finger, it was an ordinary house.

It's just that he suddenly felt a familiar aura in front of him.

"That's?"

After approaching, Li Jiu'an followed the breath, and finally found a figure curled up on the ground next to a bamboo barrel.

"It's that fool."

"Eh, that's a poor baby, too." At this time, the old man also saw it and let out a sigh.

"His name is Sun Wang, he has no parents since he was a child, and he grew up eating hundreds of meals in our village. Some time ago, I was suddenly stupid, and I was talking about immortality and immortality every day, and I didn't know what stimulation I was in. ”

I see, it is not easy to survive in this troubled world, maybe it's good to be silly and silly.

"Don't worry, we still take care of him from time to time. After all, he's the kid we've all watched grow up. ”

The old man was afraid that the Taoist priests would think that they would bully people, so he hurriedly explained again.

Li Jiuan bowed slightly, it was already very possible for this world to be able to do this.

After they walked past Sun Wang, the foolish young man let go of his curled body and looked up at the back of the Taoist priest, his eyes shining.

But within a few seconds, the foolish smile came back to his face.

"Hey, hey, hey."

It happened that a few young people were passing by, heard Sun Wang's smirk, and cursed secretly.

"This idiot."

......

It was already dark, and the old man sent the Taoist priest into the room.

"Dao Chief, rest early." The old man stood by the door and said goodbye, and suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, the Taoist chief, this village is not as good as the city, and there may be some animals passing by at night, so don't worry about some noises." ”

"Okay."

Li Jiuan didn't care, what could be any movement here.

"Then the little old man is gone."

As he spoke, the old man walked to the opposite room, and in a short time there was a sound of reproach from inside.

It seemed that the old woman was complaining about why her husband came back so late.

The Taoist priest smiled, closed the door, blew out the candle and lay down on the bed.

......

In the middle of the night, the moon and stars are scarce.

A rustling sound came from the courtyard into the ears of the Taoist priest.

Are there animals passing by?

Or is there something else?

Looking at the bed, it was empty.

What about the man?

Looking at the window again, I saw the Taoist priest sitting by the window for a long time, holding a long sword in his arms, leaning against the wall and sleeping.

After waiting for a moment, the sound in the courtyard became softer, and at the same time, a cloud drifted by, blocking the moonlight.

Li Jiuan opened his eyes, quietly lifted the window up a little crack, and then looked into the courtyard.

I saw two figures squatting in the courtyard facing each other, their hands constantly stuffing something into their mouths.

It's just that the moonlight is too dark to see clearly.

"Whew~"

After waiting patiently for a moment, a gust of wind blew through the clouds, and the moonlight shone down again.

This time, Li Jiuan saw it clearly.

One of the two figures is Li Zheng, and the person opposite him should be Li Zheng's wife.

They stuffed dirt into their mouths.

Red dirt and saliva dripped from the corners of his mouth, as if he was dripping blood.
