The ninth master has run out of oil and the lamp is dry, like a lamp and candle in the cold wind, and the wind will go out as soon as the wind rises. Lu Yangsheng can now be regarded as stepping into the threshold of cultivation, so he can clearly feel the loss of the old man's vitality. If he was now a monk in the Jiedan Realm, he might be able to temporarily retain the vitality lost by the Ninth Master and continue the life of the old man for a while, but now he is just a rookie who has just cultivated immortals, and he can only watch the loss of the old man's vitality and have nothing to do.

"Baby, if there is anything you want to ask, hurry up, otherwise you will regret it and you really won't have a chance."

The Ninth Master saw that Lu Yangsheng hadn't spoken for a long time, so he urged.

Lu Yangsheng rubbed his face vigorously and asked, "Ninth Master, I want to ask, what is it like outside?" ”

When the Ninth Master heard this, he touched Lu Yangsheng's hand and paused, and said with some sadness: "What kind?" It's about the same as a small town, so what else? Isn't it full of people yet? But isn't this person the same? It's just that there are more people and the mind is more complicated. ”

Maybe it's because the juniors aren't around, and the old man is full of resentment about the outside of the town.

"What, baby, do you want to go out?"

Lu Yangsheng nodded.

"What's good outside, people's hearts are ghostly, in a small town, just such a few people, even if they want to be bad, they can't be bad, and what kind of person is it, it is estimated that you are generally clear about the baby, when you get outside, it is different, the place is big, people's ambitions will become bigger, you are not familiar with life, you will definitely suffer a lot. Baby, listen to the old man's advice, don't go out if you can. ”

The Ninth Master sighed and tried to persuade Lu Yangsheng to change his mind. Lu Yangsheng just shook his head.

"Ninth Master, I have a reason why I have to go out."

The Ninth Master was silent for a while, handed the cigarette stick to Lu Yangsheng, and motioned for him to light it for himself again, and only after Lu Yangsheng lit it for himself did the Ninth Master speak.

"Baby, our town is different from other places, how is it different, the old man can't tell you clearly, I only know that for thousands of years, except for a few families in Luoyao Street who can get out of the town, other people can't get out, and the people in the town can only beg them if they want to go out, you don't have any friendship with them, and it's not easy to get a way out from them." Are you sure you want to go out now? ”

After Lu Yangsheng heard what the Ninth Master said, he looked straight at the Ninth Master and did not speak.

The ninth master has a way to get out, Lu Yangsheng knows it very well in his heart.

The ninth master didn't speak, just smoked dry cigarettes.

The two of them were silent for a long time, and it was the ninth master who opened his mouth first.

"Alas, baby, don't be so tough, it's not good, it's a smart baby, it's a pity that I haven't gone to school, it's a pity."

The Ninth Master sighed and finished his last puff of dry tobacco before speaking.

"It's not like a small town out there. Out of the outside, talk and walk carefully, don't conflict with people, there are people and dragons outside, there are martial artists who mix the rivers and lakes, as well as the dignitaries, and the noble scholars, and I heard that there are immortals who can do magic, you have to go in case of conflicts with people, and you have no place to reason if you encounter an immortal, if you meet an immortal, you will take it inside. ”

"Child, remember, in case of a conflict, bear with it, if you are beaten, don't fight back, people see you as a child, maybe you won't be killed, it's better to endure than to lose your life. Outside, if you can live, you can live, if you can't live, just come back, the town has small benefits, remember? ”

Listening to the old man's nagging, Lu Yangsheng could only nod silently.

"Outside, don't join in the fun, everything is lively, it's easy to have an accident, it's close, you can't say it, you can't burn yourself, you panic, you run into something lively in the future, run quickly, don't be like that stupid cat, too much curiosity will happen sooner or later."

"Before you go out, remember to buy yourself better clothes and shoes, don't be like now, tattered and barefoot, people look like beggars, and people are bullied. The money to buy clothes and shoes, just take it from the old man's coffin book, don't feel embarrassed, that's what you deserve, the old man's funeral, you do it simply, the box of money can't be spent, you save a little, you can save some money for yourself, the money outside is the uncle, you can't do anything without money. ”

Jiu Ye patted the box containing the money and said: "When a person dies, no matter how beautiful the funeral is, it is meaningless, don't figure it out." Besides, the old man said it himself, don't feel guilty. ”

Lu Yangsheng shook his head and didn't say anything.

The ninth master didn't care, and continued to nag, as if he was saying some short words to his children who were about to go out.

"When you go out, you have the opportunity to go to a school, although you are older, but you can read and write, it will always be better, don't feel embarrassed, give Mr. enough money, and Mr. will accept you." Wait for some skills, and then try to walk the rivers and lakes, I heard that people outside are very yearning for the rivers and lakes, saying that the rivers and lakes are very big, there are that fairy heroines, can accommodate the Jin Ge Iron Horse, take a walk, don't live in vain for a lifetime. If you meet a good woman, don't just look at the face, as long as the person is good, then give up the face, ask for a hundred years of good together, the old man doesn't like to drink in his life, but he likes to drink wine, don't forget to leave a seat for your ninth master when the time comes. After mixing the rivers and lakes, don't feel superior, go home, don't keep a straight face, no matter how big the rivers and lakes are, you can accommodate your Jin Ge Iron Horse, but the home is very small, count and count, isn't it you and her? You are a boy, the head of the family, let her more, the family can be and... And... And and Meimei, cough cough... ”

Jiu Ye wanted to continue, but suddenly coughed, and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth. Lu Yangsheng wanted to stop the old man from continuing to speak, but the old man waved his hand.

"Under the box, there is a route out of the town, and you don't have to look for those big families. In addition to the way to get out, there is also a small wooden sign, you go outside, in case you can't live, just take the sign, go to the capital to find a person named Gongsun Shuzhu, and say that the old man asked you to go. ”

After the ninth master finished speaking, he let go of Lu Yangsheng's hand, lay down on the bed, let out a sigh, closed his eyes, and said to Lu Yangsheng: "The soup is cold, light the cigarette for the old man, and then go and serve a bowl of hot soup to the old man." ”

Lu Yangsheng gritted his teeth, trembled and lit a pot of cigarettes for Jiu Ye, picked up the bowl and walked out.

"Yangsheng." Before Lu Yangsheng walked to the door, he heard the ninth master calling his name, Lu Yangsheng stood still and didn't look back.

"Your father and mother taught you well, you are a good child, your father and mother are good, and you are not bad."

The voice became smaller and smaller, and Lu Yangsheng didn't even hear the last few words. When there was no movement behind him, Lu Yangsheng raised his head, stopped for a while, and then went out of the house.

Lu Yangsheng walked to the stove, picked up the spoon and filled the soup several times without putting it into the bowl, and finally could only put the bowl on the stove.

Lu Yangsheng felt like something was blocked in his heart, a sense of guilt and powerlessness made this twelve-year-old child completely overwhelmed, so he could only turn his head, hold a pillar, put his head against the pillar, and slammed his fists on the pillar one by one, venting his emotions. I don't know how many times he smashed, Lu Yangsheng's hands were already drenched in blood, but he didn't seem to feel any pain at all, until he was weak, Lu Yangsheng slipped down the pillar, kneeling on his knees, his face against the pillar, his eyes were hollow, and his tears were mixed with blood, leaving traces on the young man's face.

The ninth master's accident has something to do with the pharmacy, and Lu Yangsheng can now be determined.

After discovering the abnormality of the pharmacy at the beginning, Lu Yangsheng was only suspicious, because the shopkeeper of the pharmacy has always been a penny, but when Lu Yangsheng went to ask the shopkeeper today, the shopkeeper refused without thinking about it, which is obviously abnormal. You must know that the doctor goes to the clinic, no matter whether the patient has something to do, there will be a lot of income, the shopkeeper has always said that people are dirty, dirty hands and money are not dirty, black hearts and black money are not black, money is not earned, it is not something that the shopkeeper can do. There is also Li Aniu's appearance, which is obviously a thief, and the accident of the ninth master definitely has a lot to do with him, and it may even be his hand.

In the end, what made Lu Yangsheng completely sure of his guess was the ninth master's sentence "You can see it?" This clearly affirms all of Lu Yangsheng's speculations.

Jiu Ye has a hard body, there is nothing wrong with his body, he usually has no intersection with the pharmacy at all, and the generation of Jiu Ye is there, even if there is any conflict, no matter what the reason is, the pharmacy is unlikely to make a move on Jiu Ye, because as long as it is discovered, the pharmacy will definitely have a lot of trouble. Then, if something happened to the ninth master, it definitely has something to do with money. Jiu Ye is not short of money, it can't be a conflict when buying medicine, it can only be selling medicine, it can only be the Ganoderma lucidum. In other words, it was Lu Yangsheng who indirectly killed the Ninth Master.

I seem to be really a dead star. Lu Yangsheng spread out his hands, stunned.

The sky is overcast, and the mountain rain is coming.

What Liu Mazi's full name is, no one knows, because he has been a pockmark since he was a child, the neighbors have called him Liu Mazi, and after a long time, no one knows what his original name is.

Liu Mazi is a famous lazy person in Luoxian Town, his ancestor is an old resident of Gongsun Lane, according to his own words, his grandfather had a family background when he was young, and he liked to be kind to others, and he was famous for his generosity, the neighbors in Gongsun Lane Street were more or less favored by his grandfather, he said this when he was a child, and the neighbors did not deny it, so Liu Mazi was in Gongsun Lane, and he regarded himself as a benefactor since he was a child.

Liu Mazi's grandfather left early, so most of the neighbors returned the favor to Liu Mazi's father, his father is also an honest man and a kind person, and the neighbors mentioned that his father did not give a thumbs up.

Both generations have excellent reputations, so whatever happens to Liu Mazi's family, the neighbors will take a step back, and the status of the Liu family in Gongsun Lane is getting higher and higher. Originally, it was obvious that such a family was thriving, but I never thought that Liu Mazi's life, he was addicted to gambling, and his family business was lost by Liu Mazi overnight, and his father and mother were killed alive, and he didn't even have a coffin, so he could only take the grass and sweep it and bury it in a mass grave.

The family business was lost, Liu Mazi could only beg for food on the street, at this time, he remembered to ask for face, he didn't go to other streets and alleys, just in Gongsun Lane, he wanted food harder than anyone else, he was very hungry, and when it came to the meal, he dared to break into people's homes to eat. People can't help it, after all, the older generation has indeed received a lot of favors from his family, and most of them are life-saving graces, in the face of this situation, as long as you don't want to bear the reputation of ingratitude, you can only endure it.

When the ninth master is alive, of course, he will not owe him the favor of the Liu family, after all, when it comes to family background, the Liu family is still not as good as the Gongsun family, but this kid will come to something, when the ninth master tells a story under the old ginkgo, this kid will serve tea and pour water, a mouthful of nine grandfathers, called closer than his own grandfather, the ninth master needs to buy rice and firewood, shout, this kid is the first to arrive, just like that, the ninth master also takes care of him a little bit on weekdays.

Liu Mazi knew that Jiu Ye was rich, and when he bought rice and noodles, Jiu Ye often took broken silver. In this dilapidated town where materials are scarce and bartering is often used, silver is not a common thing, so every time Liu Mazi buys something for Jiu Ye, he secretly observes where Jiu Ye gets the money, but Jiu Ye is very careful, and no one has ever seen it when he takes the money, which makes Liu Mazi even more itchy, and wants to steal, but he doesn't have the guts to rob it? Don't dare to do it, the old man's seniority is higher than his grandfather, once it is revealed, the pig cage will be light. So Liu Mazi can only wait, wait for the old man to burp one day, so as to inherit the old man's inheritance, after all, the old man's family is not here, but he has been taking care of the old man, it just so happens that his ancestral property is taken as a place, and there is a lack of a place to settle, Liu Mazi has long been interested in the house of the ninth master, which is much more spacious than his own house. Liu Mazi thought very well, but the old man never died, so Liu Mazi couldn't tie the grass man.

————

The night before yesterday, Liu Mazi just came out of someone's house, mixed a full stomach, although it was porridge, but he couldn't stop him from eating half of the family's meal alone, after all, he was overwhelmed, so he could only find a place to eat. He habitually walked around the corner in the middle of the night, walking and walking, not admitting that he saw something he shouldn't have seen.
