Chapter 52: It's Good to Be Young
Li Buxiang obviously had a stroke, his body was half paralyzed, and he couldn't live a normal life at all.
After seeing Xia Luo, he tried to make a sound, wanting to say hello to Xia Luo.
"Hmm...... Hum! ”
When Xia Luo came to him, he took Xia Luo's hand, and really wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word.
There it screamed.
Looking at his pitiful appearance, Xia Luo sighed.
"You're old too, I'm here to tell you ......"
Before Xia Lu finished speaking, he was interrupted by the quarrel of Li Buxiang's children over there.
And Li Buxiang was also shy, as if he was ashamed of his children.
Patting Li Buxiang on the shoulder, Xia Luo walked to the side of several middle-aged people.
"Why are you unwilling to support your father? Your mother died young, and he worked hard to raise the five of you, and you did this to him? ”
These people were attracted by Xia Luo's words, and they all looked at Xia Luo with unkind faces.
"You're my dad's friend, aren't you? You don't care about our family's affairs! ”
After saying that, he continued to turn his head and began to argue.
The onlookers also pointed fingers at the five brothers and sisters, saying that they were unfilial or something.
At this time, a child came out of the crowd.
When he saw Xia Luo, he looked at the book in his hand again, and when he looked at Xia Luo again, he was happy.
"It's Sword Immortal Xia Luo! The world's No. 1 sword immortal Xia Luo! ”
The book in the child's hand is an industry of the Xia family, and it is claimed to be called comics.
Naturally, it was also Xia Luo's idea, and after the first manga came out a few months ago, it was greatly sought after.
Nowadays, many artists are vying to become manga artists, adding a lot of fun to the world.
And Xia Luo is the image spokesperson of the Xia family, and there is naturally a portrait of Xia Luo in the comics.
As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent.
People looked at this ordinary old man, and at the same time noticed the long sword behind Xia Luo's back.
"Like...... It's really Xia Luo. ”
Someone watched the competition between Xia Luo and Miyamoto, and immediately recognized Xia Luo.
"It's really Xia Luo! I've seen his portrait. ”
More and more people recognized Xia Luo.
At this time, Li Buxiang's five children also stopped arguing one after another, and looked at Xia Luo in disbelief.
"Xia Luo? How is this possible? Is what the old man said true? ”
Three days ago, after Xia Luo and Miyamoto competed, Li Buxiang shouted everywhere that he and Xia Luo were friends and had a very good relationship.
Naturally, no one believed this.
As a result, Li Buxiang got old and quarreled with others, but he accidentally suffered a stroke and became what he is now.
Thinking of Xia Luo's fierce performance in the competition with Miyamoto, and then thinking of their attitude towards Xia Luo just now.
The five of them were stunned in an instant, and they just looked at Xia Luo like this, without saying a word.
Xia Luo didn't mean to blame a few people, but asked lightly.
"The five of you take care of Li Buxiang together, it won't cost much, right? Why are you unwilling to fulfill your filial piety? ”
As soon as they heard this, the faces of the five people immediately fell.
"Lord Xia, don't you know, our family originally made a living by selling pancakes, but this business is getting more and more difficult year by year, forcing the five of us to divide the family and live our own lives.
But we go out to work, and we work at sunrise and sunset every day, and we don't have time for a few poor children.
You said you want us to take care of the old man, isn't that asking us to die? ”
For a moment, Xia Luo fell silent.
I have been living in the Xia family, and through various ways, how much money is needed, but I don't think about it.
Since the Tianyuan Dynasty fought with Nanban, it has really become more and more bad, except for the family, it seems that everyone's life is not easy......
"Okay, what's the matter, let's go into the house, the ugliness of the family is not publicized, you just put Li Buxiang on the rack car like this, and you are not afraid of outsiders' jokes?"
So, several people entered the house one after another.
After entering the house, there was silence again, and after a long time, Xia Luo found a piece of paper and a pen and wrote something.
"You take this piece of paper and go to Xia's house to find Xia Sichou, just say that I asked you to find him."
The content on the paper is probably to ask Xia Sichou to find a better job for the five brothers and sisters.
Now that the Xia family has completely become a family of merchants, there are many industries in Kyoto, and it must be very simple to arrange a few jobs.
But this is not over, Xia Luo took out the money bag again, and took out a small piece of yellow and clear gold from it.
When they saw the gold, their eyes straightened.
You must know that the value of gold in the Tianyuan Dynasty is ridiculously high, and ordinary people may not be able to see it in their lifetime, let alone use it.
With just such a small piece of gold, it is estimated that any of the five of them will live for more than ten years.
But Xia Luo did not give them the gold, but stuffed it into Li Buxiang's arms.
"This gold is what I gave to Li Buxiang, and when he is about to die, he will give it to whoever he wants."
Hearing this, the five siblings nodded their heads one after another.
In their eyes, isn't Li Buxiang's theirs?
After dealing with this matter, he looked at Li Buxiang.
"I'm here to say goodbye to you, I don't have much time, I'm going to go out of the city and travel all over the world, there is a high probability that I won't come back, and I'll have a drink in the next life."
Li Buxiang screamed strangely in his mouth, tears flowed down his eyes, and he kept nodding his head.
"Okay, it's okay to meet once, and leave your affairs to your children."
After Xia Luo finished speaking, he got up and left.
When he came out, he pulled out a piece of gold from his palm.
That's right, he didn't give the gold to Li Buxiang, it's not that he is stingy, but that he understands Li Buxiang.
If the gold is really placed on Li Buxiang, it is estimated that he will be deceived by his children in a few days.
At that time, it is unclear whether his children will provide for him well in his old age.
But Xia Luo has taken the gold now, and they can't find the gold, so they will always have that sense of anticipation.
The consequence of this is to roll up in taking care of Li Buxiang, and one is more filial than the other.
In this way, presumably Li Buxiang can also spend a relatively happy old age, right?
Xia Luo bought a horse from a merchant, and then rode on the horse's back, and staggered out of the city.
Looking at the boundless sky, he decided to meet Liu Anran.
The guy was bigger than him, and because of the lack of transportation, he hadn't had a few letters in so many years.
I really don't know how he's doing.
Thinking of this, he immediately tore off a layer of skin from his face, and then pulled off his head of gray hair.
After so many years of disguise, his level of disguise is definitely top-notch.
And the world only knows the image of Xia Luo's old age, and few people know that his real appearance is a sixteen-year-old boy.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, and also to forget the image of the elderly Xia Luo, he decided to fade his disguise and use his real image along the way.
Straightening his chest and twisting his neck, he let out a long sigh of relief.
"It's good to be young!"
