Two or three hours after the phone call, there was no news from the seventh master's side.

But Brother Liu came with the news that the address given by Guo Ying's predecessors had died again.

This person also died by cutting his wrists, but the specific situation is not known, and the person has already been sent to the funeral home.

It was only at this moment that I felt the gravity of the situation.

In just a few days, so many people died.

That organization didn't know what powerful people it sent, and killed four old-timers in the circle at once, while also carrying out a new round of seven deaths in Lanjiang City.

This is more than a provocation.

It's simply lawlessness and doesn't take anyone into account at all.

Before the news came, the seventh master and I had been staying at the home of Guo's seniors, and the seventh master wanted to send the old brother on his last journey.

It's the first time I've seen the Seventh Master so sad.

At his age, he has already looked down on a lot, and he can still show his grief, which shows how uncomfortable he is in his heart.

The Guo family is doing things for the old-timers, and the old-timers' wives are sitting alone in a room, looking sad.

What is a wife, she is a person who has been with her for a lifetime, and her feelings have long surpassed family affection and love.

When people reach this age, they may take life and death very lightly, but life and death are human nature, and how can the old lady not be sad when the person who has accompanied her all her life dies suddenly.

I walked in and comforted me.

The old lady was in tears, but she also saw it very openly: "People, there will be this day when you live to be old, Lao Guo is going faster, but fortunately, the children and grandchildren are full of people and grandchildren, and they are walking in front of me, and this bad old man has no regrets." ”

The seventh master didn't tell the story of the old man's soul being scattered.

If this is spoken, the family will only grieve more.

At this time, I noticed a painting hanging on the wall, which was a portrait of a tall young man leading a horse, and on the horse sat an old Taoist priest with the Seven Stars Demon Sword on his back.

This painting immediately attracted me, especially the young man in the painting, with a face like a crown of jade, eyes like stars, a resolute and high-spirited expression.

The person who painted must be a master in order to paint the portrait of this young man vividly, as if he had been photographed with a camera, and even the eyes seemed to be alive.

I always felt that this young man was very familiar, and hurriedly asked the old lady: "Old man, ...... the person on this painting?"

The old lady looked up and said, "This is the seventh brother, this is what the seventh brother looked like when he was young." ”

Seventh Brother ......

Seventh Master!

My eyes widened in disbelief.

To say that this tall figure can correspond, but this face ......

Even if the young man in the portrait is old, it is impossible for him to grow into an elderly version of the seventh master, right?

But the old lady knows the seventh master when she was young, and since she said so, the person in the painting must be the seventh master when she was young.

What did the Seventh Master go through to become like this?

Seeing that I didn't believe it, the old lady said, "The portrait depicts the Seventh Brother and his master, and when the Seventh Brother was young, he was a well-known beautiful man in their circle. ”

"I used to hear Lao Guo say that at that time, Brother Seven never helped dignitaries and dignitaries to see things, because if there was a daughter in the family, they all appreciated Brother Qi and tended to be more flocking, so Brother Qi was annoyed, at that time he already had a favorite woman, as long as the dignitaries came to visit, he refused to leave."

I was dumbfounded.

I remember a long time ago, when we helped Li Xiumei summon her spirit, I just met the Seventh Master at that time.

At that time, the Seventh Master asked us not to call him by his real name, but to call him Yanzu in the process of conjuring spirits.

I always thought that he was an old man with an old heart, and he was as stinky and beautiful as a young man.

Now when I look at him in the portrait when he was young, this appearance, figure and temperament are probably better than those of Yanzu.

On the portrait, he is really handsome!

"It's just that later, Seventh Brother's family suffered an accident."

The old lady said: "His wife and children were killed by thieves, which was a great blow, causing the seventh brother to collapse and turn white overnight, and when we saw him again after many years, he had changed greatly." ”

"Later, his master passed away, and he has completely become a raunchy middle-aged man."

"It can only be said that the years are unforgiving, and the seventh brother has indeed become unrecognizable."

I let out a long sigh.

How big the blow was back then, it could make a person sad and change.

His wife and children were brutally killed, and I heard from the Seventh Master that his wife and young son had their heads cut off and had not been recovered.

After that, his only relative, his master, also passed away.

It was a big blow, a blow like the sky was falling.

"Old man, where did this portrait come from, was it painted by Guo seniors themselves?" I asked.

The old lady sighed and said, "How can Lao Guo have this level, he is a person who has been frugal all his life, sometimes even I think he is picky, but one year, probably when he was in his thirties, he didn't know where to buy this painting, and it cost 60,000 yuan." ”

"At that time, 60,000 yuan was worth a lot, and I could buy a house."

"He used all the money his parents left behind to buy this painting and took it back to hang at home."

I sighed again.

Not to mention at that time, 60,000 at this time was a lot.

This Guo seniors worship the Seventh Master a lot, and spent the money of a house in that year to buy the portrait of the Seventh Master to hang at home!

"But I can understand that."

The old lady said: "There was a period of time when we cracked down hard and wanted to arrest these people who engaged in feudal superstition, and our old Guo didn't know who reported him, and he was going to be arrested and sent to prison." ”

"At that time, it was impossible to find a relationship, and Lao Guo was almost about to go in."

"I was pregnant with a small child in our family at the time, and I was about to give birth to a baby, so I was so anxious that I couldn't help it."

Speaking of this past, the old lady's emotions were also quite excited: "If this Lao Guo goes in, then what can I do, how to feed this family, in the end, it was Brother Qi who thought of a way, and he himself went in for Lao Guo." ”

I was stunned, my eyes widened: "The seventh master went to prison for Senior Guo?" ”

The old lady nodded: "At that time, the situation couldn't be trusted, and in the end, it was the seventh brother who begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother, in exchange for a chance to go to prison for Lao Guo." ”

"This kindness, Lao Guo will never forget it in his life, and our family also remembers this kindness, if it weren't for the seventh brother, my four children would have starved to death with me."

"Brother Qi is a man of benevolence and loyalty, otherwise there would not be so many people willing to follow him to do things back then."

I was shocked when I heard it, and completely refreshed my understanding of the Seventh Master.

It was as if I had reacquainted myself with him.

No wonder before Guo Lao died, he drove out all his children and said goodbye to the seventh master.

No wonder they shouted those three times, brother.

No wonder at the last moment, he had to tell his brother to take care.

When the seventh master was young, he must have been a hero with extremely charismatic personality.
