Chapter 57: The Town Rises
After Jiang Guining cleaned up, he was about to rush out of the courtyard first, but before he could go out, he was stopped by Lu Yangsheng.
Jiang Guining stopped and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" ”
Lu Yangsheng was speechless, pointed at Jiang Guining, and said weakly: "Dao Chief, are you going to enter the mountain empty-handed like this?" ”
Jiang Guining looked himself up and down, there was no problem. So he rightly said, "Or else? The trail was already empty when it came, so how could you go if you didn't go like this? ”
Lu Yangsheng pointed to Jiang Guining's stomach and asked helplessly, "You don't plan to bring something to eat?" ”
Jiang Guining naturally pointed to the food box in Lu Yangsheng's hand, and said puzzledly: "Don't you have that?" ”
Lu Yangsheng was speechless, Jiang Guining said so much, what is for his own cultivation, what is the ups and downs of cultivation, he has to seize the opportunity, he has talked so many great truths, and the final purpose is really to come to the food box in his hand. But since he had agreed, Lu Yangsheng didn't think about repentance, no matter whether Jiang Guining had any way to help him stabilize his realm, with him following, he would always take fewer detours on the road of cultivation.
Looking at Jiang Guining, who looked puzzled, Lu Yangsheng sighed and said, "Dao Chief, how long do you think such a little thing is enough for the two of us to eat?" You can't come back every day to eat during the mourning period, right? How can there be such a mourning for people. ”
After listening to Lu Yangsheng's words, Jiang Guining reacted with an embarrassed face.
"What you said seems to make sense, so ......"
Lu Yangsheng pointed to the room and said to Jiang Guining: "So trouble Dao Chief, let's carry the rice on your back." ”
Thinking of the bag of rice that Lu Yangsheng was carrying in the morning, Jiang Guining glanced at his thin body, smiled bitterly, and asked tentatively, "Why don't we change it?" Xiaodao helps you carry the food box, and you carry the grain on your back? ”
Lu Yangsheng glanced at his mourning clothes, and then looked at the food box, he really couldn't figure out how shameless people had to be able to say this. How can anyone help people who value filial piety to carry tributes, isn't it unlucky?
Lu Yangsheng looked at the sky, and he really couldn't go on with Jiang Gui, so he left a sentence and went out of the house unhurriedly.
"Dao Chief, if you really don't want to carry it, it's no problem, anyway, I'm more hungry, and it's not much of a problem to skip meals for a few days."
Seeing Lu Yangsheng walking out of the yard, Jiang Guining touched his stomach, his face was full of entanglement, and in the end, in order not to be hungry in the next few days, Jiang Guining could only walk back to the house and carry the rice bag that Lu Yangsheng had only carried back in the morning.
When Jiang Guining sighed and walked out of the yard with the rice bag on his back, there was no trace of Lu Yangsheng anymore, he hurriedly ran out of the yard in a panic, and then he saw Lu Yangsheng who had walked far away on the street, shouting and waiting for me, while running to chase him.
In this way, Lu Yangsheng began to complete his agreement with the ninth master to hold a funeral in Jiang Guining's complaints, and at the same time avoided the town where the storm was about to rise, and completely kept himself out of the matter.
It is said that the snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit, but if the fisherman is just a child, it is better to stay out of the matter, not to mention who is the fisherman at this time, it is not clear.
————
Li Aniu saw Lu Yangsheng swaggering past by his door with a large bag of rice on his back, and decided that Lu Yangsheng must have embezzled the inheritance of the Ninth Master, and the amount would definitely not be too small.
Since Lu Yangsheng used to sell medicines, Li Aniu was taking over, so he knew exactly how much money Lu Yangsheng had, and Lu Yangsheng's money was definitely not enough for him to buy so much food. Now that Lu Yangsheng has bought so much food, to say that he didn't steal the money from the ninth master, Li Aniu definitely doesn't believe it.
Besides, who doesn't buy food in advance during the day, how can they choose to buy food early in the morning? Moreover, Lu Yangsheng's route home did not pass through his own alley at all, but he chose this alley and walked a long way. Treat others as you please. Li Aniu felt that it must be Lu Yangsheng who took the money that he shouldn't have taken, and he was afraid of being discovered, so he picked after the ninth master entered the ground, and took advantage of the fact that no one was there in the morning to sneakily buy food.
After Li Aniu left Lu Yangsheng, he returned to the house alone, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. Uncle I killed the old man, not only did I not get a penny, but I also lost my livelihood because of it, and now I am hiding at home, so frightened that I don't even dare to go out of the house. But what about you Lu Yangsheng? Not only did he buy food with the money that should have belonged to him, Li Aniu, and lived a good life, but he also flattered the patriarch and won a good reputation.
I didn't see it before, you are such a clever means of a mourning star.
Money is charming, Li Aniu was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and in the end his face was hideous, he sat up and slammed his fist against the wall, and a blood stain oozed out of his fist in the blink of an eye, but Li Aniu didn't feel anything about it.
He must get his money back, if he has this money, maybe he Li Aniu will not have to worry about making a living in the future.
Thinking of this, Li Aniu got up and left, and when he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he picked up the broken hat on the wall and put it on his head, locked the courtyard door, and saw that no one saw it everywhere, so he hurriedly walked to Lu Yangsheng's house.
Because there is a ghost in his heart, Li Aniu has been covering his face with a hat all the way, and he is terrified, lest he will be recognized after meeting an acquaintance, which will lead to the revelation of the matter.
walked all the way with apprehension, and when he finally saw Jiang Guining's lonely little thatched hut, Li Aniu breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking about the days when he used to be powerful in front of the villagers with his back to the pharmacy, and then look at his dog now, Li Aniu smiled bitterly on his face.
Li Aniu knew bitterly in his heart, he understood that the old shopkeeper was most likely dead. You must know that once the son of the Song family has determined his position, in addition to promotion, he has never heard of any of them leaving his original position alive.
Thinking about what he had done, and then thinking about his own situation, Li Aniu was so frightened that his face was full of cold sweat. There used to be a backstage, so no matter how much he went too far, the medicine pickers in the town didn't dare to do anything to him, but now that the backstage has fallen, Li Aniu doesn't believe that those people will let him have a good life after knowing the news.
Thinking of this, Li Aniu's face was hideous, staring at Lu Yangsheng's thatched house.
Liu Mazi and Lu Yangsheng all complain about you, if it weren't for you, how could I, Li Aniu, fall to such a point? Wait, when the limelight passes, I, Li Aniu, will return it a hundred times.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and Li Aniu's eyes were red until the end, like a crazy beast, exuding an amazing anger.
Seeing that there was no one around, Li Aniu took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to kill, and strode towards Lu Yangsheng's family.
Since the fence of Lu Yangsheng's house had been damaged by Jiang Guining, Li Aniu walked into Lu Yangsheng's house without much effort.
Because he knew that there could be no one near Lu Yangsheng's house, Li Aniu did not have the consciousness of being a thief after arriving here, and walked swaggeringly, kicking open the door of Lu Yangsheng's house with one kick.
Entering the house, Li Aniu frowned, no one? Li Aniu tried to shout softly twice, but no one came out, which made Li Aniu very unhappy, originally he still wanted to beat Lu Yangsheng and let Lu Yangsheng obediently take out the money himself, but now it seems that he can only search it himself.
Lu Yangsheng's family is not big, just one room, and there are no furnishings in it, so Li Aniu turned the house upside down without much effort.
No? Nothing?
Li Aniu rummaged through the house, searched all the places where the silver might be hidden, and even the land he turned over, but there was still nothing.
Li Aniu didn't believe it, so he turned it over again, but in the end he found nothing.
After turning over the last inch of land and grabbing the last handful of soil, Li Aniu's face was full of tears.
I searched all over the house, but I didn't find anything, not even the bag of grain Li Aniu that Lu Yangsheng was carrying.
Li Aniu sat on the ground with tears on his face. Without money, he Li Aniu can only be a medicine picker, but he Li Aniu has not been up the mountain much since he went to the pharmacy, and now let him go to collect medicine again, how can he Li Aniu still recognize the way. Besides, not to mention whether he can collect medicine, just the things he did before that lost his conscience, when he entered the mountain, in case he met a medicine picker who had been bullied by him, he would have to be beaten to death and feed the beasts, this kind of thing has not happened before.
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, Li Aniu wiped his face, cheered himself up, and stood up again.
can't give up, absolutely can't give up, he Li Aniu doesn't believe that Lu Yangsheng didn't take a penny, there must be, it's just that he Li Aniu didn't find it. Look again, there is no inside the house, there will definitely be outside the house.
At this time, Li Aniu was almost insane, and no matter who had suffered one blow after another, coupled with the fact that he could encounter mortal danger at any time, it was estimated that it would be difficult to withstand such a blow.
Li Aniu got up and stabilized his mind, calmed himself down, and looked at the room again, and when he saw the only stone table in the house, Li Aniu's eyes lit up, and he picked up the empty stone table and fell to the ground, not broken? Li Aniu frowned, fell again, and finally broke the stone table this time.
Li Aniu squatted on the ground and picked up the pieces piece by piece, but unfortunately, there was nothing. Li Aniu took a deep breath, and then set his eyes on the pile of stones supporting the stone table, and after rummaging through it, he turned over the soil under the stone table again, but still found nothing.
At this time, Li Aniu's fingers were oozing blood, covered in mud, like a walking corpse that had just crawled out of the soil, which made people shudder just by looking at it.
After rummaging through the last part of the house, Li Aniu was already desperate, got up and staggered, and walked to the kitchen outside the house.
No, no, no. Nothing.
How so? Li Aniu picked up the iron pot that Lu Yangsheng was cooking with, slammed it on the water tank in the courtyard, smashed the pot to pieces, and kicked over the stove again. In the end, Lu Yangsheng's already tattered little family could no longer find anything that could be used.
It's over, he's finished, and there will never be a chance to turn over again.
Holding on to the last bit of hope, Li Aniu rummaged again, and this time Li Aniu looked very carefully, and even pulled up the weeds outside the house. Finally, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and this time Li Aniu finally had a harvest.
When Li Aniu turned to an inconspicuous corner, he finally found a strange place, where the soil had been moved, and a weed was deliberately planted on it, if Li Aniu hadn't rummaged carefully, he would never have found this place.
Li Aniu had tears in his eyes, and finally, he finally found it.
He was cautious, ignoring the damage of his fingers, and gently turned over the dirt, but the scene in front of him made Li Aniu completely collapse.
Inside were two tablets of rough workmanship, and apart from these, there was a pair of somewhat tattered tiger shoes, and other than that, there was nothing.
Li Aniu collapsed, completely collapsed, he didn't expect that in the end, he would only find these, what about the silver? And what is the silver he is looking for? Li Aniu picked up the two tablets, raised his knees, folded the two tablets in half, and then picked up the little tiger shoes and threw them into the distance.
Nothing, nothing.
Li Aniu staggered out of Lu Yangsheng's house, without the silver and the backstage, it would be difficult for him Li Aniu to get ahead in his life.
There are some bad things, people tend to comfort themselves when they do them, it's okay, it's okay to do it, who hasn't done bad things. But when the incident happened, I couldn't bear it, and I had to push the matter on someone else, and come up with a "if not", and say "If it's not anyone, I can't do anything". Or is there something more simply like that, I feel like I'm not doing anything wrong, what's wrong? It's the world that's wrong. But in fact, a mistake is a mistake, and when a road really comes to an end, people have to pay for their previous things.
