Ananda cleaned the house in the past two days, and when he arrived at the longevity store, he asked the boss to pick a good coffin, and bought a shroud paper money, which cost a lot of silver. People live for a lifetime, and when they die, they want to leave the world with dignity, and when they go to the underworld, the people above have burned enough paper money, and they have been entangled and bribed by those yin and yang to make their yin and yang road easier.

Ananda's "old mother" always talked about this matter before her death, looking at Ananda who was busy all day, but mentioning him that if it really came to the day of her return, and don't bother with it, she didn't want to be a burden to Ananda during her lifetime, and she would have to put Ananda on her back after death. Ananda just listened from the sidelines, and did not agree, and had already calculated in his heart that he would have a grand burial at that time.

Chen Po knew about this and rushed to help, which saved Ananda a lot of things, after all, for the funeral, Ananda was also the first time, and he didn't know anything about the customs and taboos. Busy and busy, two days finally let the "old mother" into the ground.

"Ananda, your mother has just died, and my wife shouldn't have mentioned it to you right now, so you don't have to pay back the money you borrowed from my wife. And there is a funeral at home, and it is not easy to get married, so we can wait for you to tell you about your relatives, but I will continue to pay attention to your wife. When people are old, they suffer and suffer their lives, and your mother's departure may not be a bad thing for her, so don't be too sad. ”

Chen Po held Ananda's hand tightly, and her eyes wept as she spoke. Ananda was grateful in his heart, and smiled at Chen Po: "Chen Po, I will leave Su Ye City tomorrow and go outside to make a living." Don't worry, I owe you money, and I'll pay you back when he gets to him. ”

"Why do you want to go? Ananda, although Suye City is just a small city, but after all, it is not a hometown, even if the world is big outside, how can it compare to here. Besides, if you are left alone, who should you take refuge in when you go elsewhere? If the cloth business is not good, then follow my wife to sell bean curd, now my wife is also old, and her work is not as good as before, and there is no male in the family, you have also done my wife a great favor. ”

Ananda shook his head: "Granny Chen, this time I went out, not only to break outside, but also for other reasons, when I come back in the future, I will talk to you slowly." ”

Seeing that Ananda had made up her mind, Chen Po no longer persuaded her: "Then my wife will no longer persuade you, since you want to travel far away, people say that the poor family is rich, if there is no silver tael on your body, my wife still has some left, you take it first." ”

Ananda hurriedly dissuaded Chen Po: "Don't worry about Chen Po, this time an old friend came to look for me, and I left with him." If you say silver taels, he still has some there, I have been doing business with Mrs. Chen in the past two years, I know that it is not easy for you to save some savings, you better keep it for yourself. ”

"Silly boy, my wife is already a person who is about to enter the ground, and where is there a place where you need money, put it away quickly. Chen Po stiffened her face and stuffed the purse into Ananda's hand, and Ananda saw that Chen Po insisted on this, so she didn't accept it.

"Then I'll take it, Mrs. Chen, I won't be in Su Yecheng in the future, but there will be no one to help you carry water from the mountain, you can always find an apprentice, not only can you pass on the craft, but also have a care." ”

"Got it, got it. As she spoke, Po Chen began to cry again, extremely reluctant to Ananda.

When Chen Po was sent home, Chen Po repeatedly told Ananda many things, and Ananda smiled and nodded on the side. When he returned home, it was late at night, and Ananda moved a wooden bench and sat in the courtyard.

Recalling the bits and pieces of the past two years, Ananda smiled slightly. Although his life is uneventful, he weaves and sells cloth every day, and cleans the yard and does some carpentry work in his spare time. Day after day, year after year, it really seems that he was originally an ordinary grass man, who has neither practiced martial arts, nor walked through the rivers and lakes, has no deceit, no love and hatred. Some are just plain lives like flowing water, but they make him feel at ease.

He looked at the full moon above his head, today is the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, the moon is like a blue disk, to hang in the night sky, the stars are dotted, as if whispering to people.

"Heyi, you're going to love a day like this. Ananda muttered to himself.

Outside the house, there was a dark shadow, and Ananda was thinking about it, but he didn't know anything about it. The black shadows were lying on the roof, slowly moving their bodies, looking at Ananda, and seeing that Ananda was not aware, two of them rushed towards Ananda.

Seeing that the dagger in their hands was about to pierce Ananda's neck, Ananda sneered: "You people will pick the time." ”

Ananda raised his hands, his fingers clamped the assassin's dagger, and with a slight break, the dagger broke in response, and the two did not retreat but advanced, one waved his fist, and the other took out his palm, Ananda threw the broken blade between his fingers back, and two streams of blood spurted out, and the two men fell to the ground holding their necks.

The others on the roof, seeing that the two had not succeeded, rushed towards Ananda, who stood up, leaned lightly to one side, dodged one of them, and then disappeared in place, grabbed one of them, threw them hard, and smashed them into the other, and the two of them hit the wall. Seeing that the two of them were powerless for a while, he picked up the dagger on the ground and walked towards the two.

The other man came to him, and Ananda reached out and grabbed the man's neck, and lifted him sideways and threw him to the ground. Ananda trampled him under his feet, threw the dagger out of his hand, and two more blood flowers bloomed.

At this time, Ananda squatted down, looked at the person at his feet, and said with a smile: "Tell me, who sent you here? Don't worry, as long as you tell me, I can spare your life." ”

The man just glared at Ananda and didn't speak, and Ananda sighed: "Please believe me, unlike others, I will definitely keep my promise of what I promised." ”

Seeing that the man still did not speak, Ananda sighed lightly, then tore off his face towel, pinched his mouth with his hand, and took a look: "It turns out that people have cut off their tongues, and it seems that the person who sent you here is bent on killing me." Since you are so worried about revealing your feet, then the identity is naturally much easier to guess, forget it, since you didn't speak, then I don't have to spare your life. ”

As he spoke, he twisted his hand slightly, and the neck of the man under his feet was twisted.

Clapping his hands, Ananda groaned: "I originally wanted to put a long line of fishing, but who knew that it ended up empty, but I got myself into trouble." If the people who sent them before were not sure of my life or death, they now know that I am not dead. And the martial arts of the people who came this time are much higher than last time, which is also another kind of temptation, and there must be trouble in the future. ”

He glanced at the courtyard: "Let's deal with the bodies of these people." As he spoke, he carried the corpses of the two and jumped over the courtyard wall, not knowing where he went, and only came back after half a cup of tea. Then he carried the bodies of the remaining three, and when he came back again, he carried a cloth bag with new soil in it, and sprinkled it on the blood, and then he went into the house.

The moon in the night sky was still as cold as ice, and the courtyard was silent, as if nothing had happened.
