Chapter 3: The Old Beggar Is Dead
My father and mother treated Liu Sanye with respect, and this guy still looked like he could stand it, looking at me and feeling uncomfortable, but I was not a bad person, so I could only stand aside obediently and keep silent.
The third master Liu also looked at me condescendingly, and there was no pity in his cold eyes.
My dad told him that I was so young that I was spoiled by them, and that I must take care of my little temperament more when I went out today, and said a lot of soft words.
Anyway, I have to go with him today.
"Mom, I was pulled back by you just after the summer vacation, and now you want to drive me away, where am I going?" Although I knew that the situation was like this, when I thought of marrying someone I didn't know from now on, my heart was still aggrieved, my eyes were sour, and tears flowed down my eyes.
"What do you say, believe it or not, I beat you, the third master is willing to marry you, it is your blessing, it is too late for our family to be grateful." My dad said with a hard time.
"And this time the third master is taking you back the favor, many years ago you received the favor of the old beggar, and now the old beggar is in trouble, shouldn't you repay this kindness?"
I always thought that my parents told me that these things were fake, and it wasn't until yesterday that I had a complete epiphany, and it turned out that I was just deceiving myself.
As the old saying goes, it's only natural to pay off debts.
My dad said that he was in a hurry, tears were rolling in his eyes, he was sick, but I couldn't let him grieve for me anymore, I immediately wiped the tears on my face and said: "Also, I still return, of course I still do, dad, you hold on, don't cry, tears are pearls, the more you cry, the more like a pig." ”
My dad almost laughed when he heard it, and patted me on the head and said, "Silly girl, go out and listen to the third master, do you know?" ”
Both of them are saying this sentence, and their ears are calloused, and I can only accept it helplessly.
After breakfast, my parents dropped me off on the bus at the entrance of the village and left.
From time to time, I looked back out the window and didn't sit back until I couldn't see them at all.
Liu Sanye sat next to me, squinting as if he was napping, and the sun hit his face to outline a perfect facial contour, and my eyes were straight.
"See what?"
This guy knows I'm looking at him with his eyes closed.
I was so embarrassed that I retracted my gaze: "No, it's just curious, the sun is so big, aren't you afraid of the sun?" ”
The third master closed his eyes and didn't look at me and replied: "Because I am a snake and cold-blooded, in order to regulate the temperature of my body, it is natural to bask in the sun." ”
I'd forgotten that he was a snake, and now he brought it up himself, instantly extinguishing what little affection I had just ignited.
"Ah, I thought that when the snake died, it would be like a ghost, and it would be afraid of the sun."
I regretted saying this, because the next second he opened his eyes suddenly, and his stares looked directly into my eyes.
I subconsciously lowered my head, not daring to look at him, but was forcibly pinched by his cold right hand and had to meet his gaze.
"Listen, I'm not an immortal, I'm not a ghost, I'm not a demon or a demon, my identity is not something that a low-level human like you can figure out casually, if you figure it out again and anger me, be careful that I swallow you directly into my stomach."
His expression was serious, without any jokes, his expression was like cold water, and he would tremble at a glance, I was really a little scared, and my body trembled unconsciously.
Timidly replied, "Yes, I see." ”
"Also, I don't call ah, I don't call hey, my name is Gu Yuan, remember."
I nodded in fright.
As the words closed, he let go of my jaw and turned his head to lazily close his eyes.
I raised my hand and touched my chin, which was pinched by him, and my heart was so uncomfortable that I wanted to cry.
This person is not right, this fairy, it's not right, this thing that doesn't know what to play with Leng Er's mood is so uncertain, it seems that I will suffer in the future.
There weren't many people in the car, but they couldn't see Gu Yuan's existence, so the people in the car looked at me like a fool, which made me feel even more uncomfortable.
After enduring it for more than an hour, I arrived in Ganglian City, and finally found the old beggar's home according to the address given by my father, but it was too late.
The old beggar's house was full of wreaths, paper figures, and paper horses.
The body of the old beggar was parked under the makeshift mourning shed, covered with a yellow cloth, three sticks of coarse incense on his head, an ever-bright lamp, and a bowl of rice.
This is obviously already dead, if he dies, then who can still be my leader, can't finish the three things of Gu Yuan, can't be his disciple, is my life really over, I'm only twenty-two years old, I have a lot of time to squander, and I don't want to get a boxed lunch so soon.
With a worried look on my face, I stood alone outside the door for a long time before entering, and we were greeted in the mourning hall by a little boy of seventeen or eighteen, said to be the son of an old beggar.
After I explained my intentions, his son not only did not object, but treated me with respect, not at all like the feeling of being an equal, and he withdrew from the mourning hall with his family after a few words.
At this moment, there are only two people in the mourning hall, me and Gu Yuan.
The old beggar is my life-saving benefactor, and it is indispensable to buckle the head of three incense sticks, and after the three knocks, I poured water into the porcelain bowl that Gu Yuan told me to take, and then put four chopsticks on the edge of the porcelain bowl, and finally put a bamboo chopstick in the porcelain bowl filled with water, and the chopsticks stood upright in the porcelain bowl without support.
I don't know what that means, but I guess it's not a good sign.
I was thinking that this fairy next to me had spoken.
"Lift the yellow cloth off his face."
"Aha?" I looked up at Gu Yuan in disbelief, I couldn't have heard it wrong, he asked me to lift the yellow cloth on the old beggar's face?
"To be my disciple, first of all, I must be bold and careful, and in the future, there will be more terrifying scenes than this kind of scene, if I can't do it, then I can only find someone else."
"What will happen to me when you're gone? Am I going to die? "That's what I'm most concerned about, and if he lets me go, and I can still be alive, then I wish he was far away from me.
Gu Yuan tilted his head slightly, revealing his perfect jawline, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he snorted coldly: "What doesn't belong to me, what's the use of keeping it?" ”
As he spoke, he turned around and was about to leave.
What does Gu Yuan mean by this to give up on me? This is not going to work, I am still gasping for breath, if he is gone, will I be killed on the spot?
Thinking of this, I suddenly figured it out, isn't it just to open the yellow sheet paper? What's the big deal, everything else in this world is a trivial matter except life and death.
"Wait!" I cried and hurt my face, hugged Gu Yuan's calf, said that I wouldn't let go, and looked at him with an aggrieved face.
"I'll go, can't I go? Please, don't go...... Boom ......"
