In Tianmen Town, people are like animals, busy with life, busy with death, busy with the same monotony, and repeating the cycle.

What it means to be alive is a question that no one has ever thought about.

For them, the length of life is only a scale of time, and once the scale is over, life comes to an abrupt end, as if it had never been completed.

Xu Kaijiang's family does not have many friends in Tianmen Town, and because the place where they live is relatively remote, there are not many neighbors.

By the time Li Yu learned about the death of Xu Kaijiang's mother, it was already a day after Xu's death.

After Lu Ming and their deliberations were over, they were arranged by Zhang Helun to go into the courtyard to rest.

They repaired for a day first, and the next day Lu Ming went to find Li Yu.

Li Yu had just finished reading the Taoist Sutra in the morning, and was about to make breakfast when Lu Ming arrived at another view.

What made Lu Ming strange was that when he went again today, Dao Zhen, who was permeating another view, disappeared, he released his natural supernatural powers, felt it carefully, and still didn't find it.

Li Yu saw Lu Ming standing at the door and didn't come in, so he called him loudly, and Lu Ming let go of the doubts in his heart after hearing it and walked in.

Li Yu asked Lu Ming if he had eaten, and Lu Ming shook his head. Then, he told Li Yu what the dean wanted him to bring.

"Brother Lu, you shouldn't be able to see Master. He had been in retreat for a long time, and he usually didn't even see me, and he would only call me when he wanted to look for me. ”

After Lu Ming heard this, he asked, "Then can I pass the word at the door of the Taoist Chief?" ”

After Li Yu heard this, he thought for a moment before he said, "Why don't you try it, the master will naturally hear what he wants to hear, if he doesn't want to listen, even if you tell him in his ear, he won't be able to hear it." ”

Lu Ming didn't expect that the Lindao people would behave like this, and secretly slandered in his heart, "Isn't this just picking up what you like to listen to?!" ”

Then, Lu Ming passed the dean's words to him in front of the door of the Taoist chief's retreat, and as Li Yu expected, there was no response.

In order to alleviate Lu Ming's embarrassment, Li Yu invited him to have breakfast together.

Another view of the breakfast is very simple, a white porridge, two dishes of sauerkraut, four eggs, plus a small dried fish, is Li Yu's daily breakfast.

Li Yu said while eating, "Brother Lu, we eat very simply, it's hard for you to eat the same as me." ”

After hearing this, Lu Ming smiled at him and said, "What are you talking about, do you think I grew up in brocade clothes and jade food?" ”

Li Yu thought for a moment and said, "I can guess that you may not have had a good time when you were a child, but after you entered the Great Sword Qingshan later, you should have a much better life than before." ”

Lu Ming said, "You're right, my life is indeed much better than before after entering Qingshan," after speaking, he deliberately joked, "So do you think that our Qingshan is arrogant and lascivious?" ”

How could Li Yu not know that Lu Ming was joking, so he also laughed and said, "Naturally not, but I didn't expect you to be too particular about food." ”

"Actually, it's okay, our food in Qingshan is also fishy, but I'm used to eating a light diet in the morning, so what I eat is simpler than most people, and it's not much different from what you eat today. Besides, we should be blessed, shouldn't we? In the past, we lived a hard life without food or drink, and having such food was already a great blessing for us. After Lu Ming finished speaking, he sighed lightly.

Li Yu pretended not to see it, picked up the egg and peeled it for Lu Ming and put it in his bowl, and said, "Let's eat another one!" ”

Lu Ming took it, looked at him and smiled, "Okay." ”

The two didn't say anything, but everything was silent.

Just as the two were eating, Shen Tang and Shen Xun came together, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw Li Yu and the others eating breakfast.

Except for Li Yu, the other three only officially met today.

After Li Yu introduced them to each other, Shen Tang said directly, "Don't you know yet?" Xu Kaijiang's mother died. ”

This news was also heard by Shen Tang from her mother chatting with someone this morning, and after hearing it, she didn't delay much, and called Shen Xun and the two to come to Li Yu.

The relationship between the Shen brothers and sisters and Xu Kaijiang is not very good, and they can come in time to tell Li Yu just because of Li Yu's affection for getting along with Xu Kaijiang these days.

Although Li Yu didn't say it, the Shen brothers and sisters could guess that Li Yu could make friends with Xu Kaijiang regardless of his previous suspicions, firstly, he felt that the other party was not bad, and on the other hand, he probably remembered his past!

Those who have suffered will hold up an umbrella for those who have also suffered.

Li Yu didn't expect to hear such news, and he said in disbelief, "Why is it so sudden?" The medicine I gave him, even if it can't cure his mother's illness, can drag her last breath, and it stands to reason that she shouldn't die! ”

It was Lu Ming who reacted first, he said, "Now is not the time to ask these questions, since he is good friends with you, you should hurry up now and see if you can help anything!" ”

Li Yu came back to his senses, said loudly to the room of the Lindao, and the four of them went together.

Along the way, Li Yu kept wondering, what went wrong? Could it be that the medicine he gave was not compatible with her mother's physique? But it shouldn't be, the tonic pill he gave is to supplement his mother's natal vitality, as long as her mother still has the will to survive, then she will slowly wake up after taking the medicine he gave. At that time, he will go to the doctor again to help his mother recuperate.

When he arrived at Xu Kaijiang's house, a white sail was hung at the door, and a white couplet was also pasted.

When Li Yu and his party entered, they saw that Xu Kaijiang was wearing linen and filial piety and burning gold clothes and silver paper in front of his mother, and the mourning hall was extremely simple and looked desolate.

Among the four, Li Yu and Xu Kaijiang have a good relationship, and the others are not easy to come forward.

Li Yu watched Xu Kaijiang repeat what he was doing like a walking corpse, and thought that he was in the same situation seven years ago, when he only thought about one thing in his heart, that is, he also wanted to go with his grandmother.

Now looking at Xu Kaijiang like this, Li Yu is not only sad for him, but also worried that Xu Kaijiang will be depressed from now on, and even more afraid that he will die.

Li Yu stepped forward and took the paper money on the ground, threw it into the brazier and said, "If your mother has a spirit in the sky, she shouldn't want to see you like this." ”

When Xu Kaijiang heard this, his hand paused slightly, but there was still no extra movement.

Li Yu continued, "In the past, when my grandma left, I also felt that there was no meaning in living, but after so many years, I realized that only when I lived, I could help her realize the meaning of my grandma's life." If I had gone with her at that time, wouldn't I have been too selfish? ”

After Li Yu said these words, Xu Kaijiang stopped burning paper, his whole body shrank in a ball, fell to the ground, and cried muffledly, and the sound of intermittent sobbing continued to come from his slightly thin body.

"If you want to cry, cry and feel better." Li Yu soothed his back and said softly.

Gradually, more and more heart-rending cries came out from the entire mourning hall, as if to cry out all his grievances over the years, to cry out his confusion and helplessness about going alone in the future, and to cry out the loneliness of his life alone from now on.
