Chapter 3 The Blind
The poor have no funerals, only simple rituals.
In the messy courtyard, there were more than a dozen nearby neighbors. In the middle of the courtyard, there was a thin coffin. A woman in plain clothes was quietly lying inside. The pressure of life made her face full of traces of time. Perhaps just falling asleep like this is also a relief.
Unfortunately, she has not yet enjoyed a trace of blessing, she has not yet waited for her son to grow up, and has not yet waited for her son to achieve something.
Lu Xu felt a sense of sorrow, and hot tears flowed out from his cheeks. This gentle woman used to wash clothes and cook for him. She was thirsty, hungry, sick, and was cared for by others. One day, Lu Xu wanted to eat meat, which was undoubtedly a luxury for the poor children in the slums, but her mother still did it. She cut off her beautiful black hair and received a meal of meat.
Lu Xu once wanted a new set of clothes, but his mother quietly washed clothes for the human pulp, and exchanged them for new cloth and weaving them into new clothes.
Lu Xu felt very hated, hating that God did not have eyes and good people did not live long. He hated Yang Wei's Yang family. If Yang Wei had not stopped him, if he had not snatched the bloody Ganoderma lucidum, he might have had time to eat it for his mother and his mother would not have left.
How unfair this heavenly way is!
"Combined coffin!"
A loud voice woke Lu Xu up from his thoughts. He carefully put his mother's clothes on his life. His mother had very few relics, a bronze mirror, a few clothes, and a hairpin.
This hairpin Lu Xu remembered that when he was ten years old, he spent half a month working in the city to get a birthday gift for his mother. It was also his only precious jewelry. I remember that time, my mother smiled happily and kept wearing it in the hair.
Lu Xu wrapped the hairpin and put it in his arms. He put it together the coffin and separated from life and death. This was the only thought in the future.
Three days later, outside Baisha City, in front of a low tomb, the simple wooden monument reads "The Tomb of the Loving Mother Su Xuerou"
"Bang bang bang"
Lu Xu kowtowed three times, stood up, looked at the wooden monument, and murmured: "Mom, I will live well. I must avenge your grudges. You are in the Heavenly Spirit to bless your child and avenge you."
After the burial, neighbors nearby left one after another. Although they were sad, they still wanted to survive for the sake of life. Only fat people and little monkeys were with Lu Xu.
After a long time, Lu Xu stood up and said, "Go and see San'er, what disease does he have?"
The fat man said, "I don't know, it's cold and hot, and my stomach hurts and hits my head against the wall!"
"Go and have a look!"
Saner's home is right in front of Lu Xu's house. He has an older sister who works as a helper in the royal house in the city. The family is an old earth and stone house, which is similar to Lu Xu's family. The siblings have been dependent on each other for many years.
"San'er!"
The fat man shouted a few times but no one agreed. He pushed open the door and went in. The house was empty and neither brother nor brother were there.
The shabby wing room was filled with moisture, the blue quilt smelled bad, and a broken bowl was lying on the ground beside the bed, and a pile of soup mixed with medicine residue poured out of the bowl.
Lu Xu squatted down and reached out to find out the soup. It was already cold, which means that San'er had been away for a long time.
Suddenly, the fat man grabbed a piece of medicine bag on the ground and asked, "Huh? Isn't this the medicine that Sister Fang changed for San'er? Why did it fall to the ground, and what about San'er and the others?"
"Where did the medicine come from?" Lu Xu turned his head and looked at the fat man.
The fat man replied, "Sister Fang went to Baishantang yesterday to exchange for it. It was so expensive. I heard that it costs dozens of taels of silver. The shopkeeper of Baishantang saw that Sister Fang was an acquaintance and only had ten bronze coins."
"It's broken! Something happened!" Lu Xu frowned and said.
"What's wrong? What happened?" The fat man was a little startled.
"San'er wants to kill the shopkeeper of Baishantang!" Lu Xu rushed out.
The matter is already very clear. Lu Xu, the shopkeeper of Baishantang, knows very well. In Baishantang, all the pharmacy in Baishan City are all opened by the Yang family. They eat people and don’t spit bones. They have money to cure diseases, and get out of money. How could they only have ten bronze coins because they are acquaintances with Sister Fang? At that time, my mother was seriously ill, and Lu Xu understood the faces of those pharmacy doctors. Among them, Baishantang is the most clear. Yang Xiong, the shopkeeper of Baishantang, is one of the elders of the Yang family, who is in charge of most of the pharmaceutical industry in Baishan City. This person is the most lustful in his life. He married more than a dozen houses at home and still bully men and women outside. There are countless good women in the city who were harmed by him.
It must be that Sister Fang sacrificed her body to save San'er, and San'er found out that San'er's strong temper must not be able to bear it. She knocked over the bowl of medicine to death because he felt that the bowl of medicine was dirty. Then, San'er must have gone to kill someone to take revenge.
"Uncle Wang, please save my third son!"
As soon as Lu Xu and the fat man rushed out of the house, they saw a woman in green clothes kneeling on the ground on the side of the road. Whenever she met a passerby, she would climb up and cry. It was Sister Fang.
"San'er killed the Yang family, Yang family... how can we afford to offend?"
"Yes, the Yang family has a great career, Fang, it's not that we don't help, there's nothing we can do!"
Passers-by all avoided the plague and avoided it.
Lu Xu hurried forward, helped her up, and asked in a low voice: "Sister Fang, get up quickly, what happened?"
"San'er...San'er killed someone and was arrested by the Yang family!" Sister Fang's hair was messy and kept crying: "Ah Xu, please, save San'er, you are brothers!"
"Did San'er kill Yang Xiong? Where are you locked up now? Speak slowly, don't worry." Lu Xu comforted softly.
"He didn't take medicine yesterday, so he asked me about the medicine I came from there. I said I bought it, but he didn't believe it. Later, he knocked over the medicine and ran out. I couldn't catch up. When I arrived in the city, I saw that the Baishantang Pharmacy was surrounded by people and the ground was covered with blood. San'er was gone. They said that San'er was arrested into the Yang family and would be beheaded at the city gate tomorrow!" Sister Fang cried and said something to understand.
"Sister Fang, you really bought that medicine..."
The fat man asked, but before he finished speaking, Lu Xu glared back at him, and then he said embarrassedly: "This Yang Xiong deserves to die! San'er is good to kill."
Lu Xu stood up, helped Sister Fang to the fat man, and turned around and said, "Fatty, help Sister Fang to go back to rest."
"What about you?"

"I'll go to the city to have a look." Lu Xu frowned.
"Then wait for me, I'm going to go too."
Lu Xu nodded, watched the fat man help Sister Fang away, and turned around and rushed out.
San'er was arrested by the Yang family. It would be a life-and-death matter to rescue him at this time. Now he is alone and has no worries. Even if he turns in, it's fine. The fat man has his parents alive, so how can he take him to take risks?
Baisha City, inside and outside the city are two different heavens. The streets in the city are bustling, with pedestrians on the streets and a wide range of shops.
The Yang family's mansion was in the most prosperous area of the East City of Baisha City. After Lu Xu wandered around the Yang family's mansion, he slowly made two pots of good wine in a tavern, bought some beef and pork head meat, and then walked towards a dilapidated temple west of the city.
The dilapidated temple has been abandoned for many years and there is no incense inside, so it has become a habitat for some wanderers.
There was no gate in the ruined temple. Lu Xu walked in and a pile of dust rushed over. The blind man was not there. Lu Xu was not in a hurry. He found a slightly clean corner and sat down, putting the wine and meat on the broken wooden table.
"Just come, what other wine and meat are there?"
Not long after he sat down, an old voice suddenly came from the entrance of the ruined temple. Then, an old man in old gray clothes held this piece of crutch and pointed the stick on the ground. The old man couldn't see his eyes, but it seemed that he could see everything.
"Senior, you are back." Lu Xu quickly got up and helped the old man sit down.
Lu Xu is not stupid, but is very smart. At this point, he still doesn't know that this old man is not an ordinary roadside fortune teller. On the contrary, the old man is very likely to be a big man with great powers.
The old man sat down slowly, suddenly frowned, and said, "Hmm? Have you been injured?"
The old man didn't say it clearly, and Lu Xu couldn't understand it, but then Xukong clasped his fists and said, "Yes, senior, I found the blood Ganoderma lucidum, I want to thank you..."
Before Lu Xu finished speaking, the old man answered and said, "I don't have to thank me, and I can't save anyone."
Thinking of his mother, Lu Xu couldn't help but swelled up. After a moment of silence, he felt relieved and said, "So... I know everything about it."
The old man took a sip of wine and said slowly: "I know it's a matter of hitting a stone with an egg, why do you still have to do it?"
Why do you still have to die?
Are you really not afraid of death?
No! I just couldn't help but breathe in my heart. My mother was killed, my own humiliation, and my brother was arrested. Everything comes from the evil Yang family. If this evil source is not eliminated, Lu Xu's anger will be hard to expel.
Lu Xu turned around and said seriously: "I know it's a rock with an egg, but there are some things that must be done, not only for my brothers, but also for my mother."
"If you want to go, no one can stop you. Oh, meeting is a fate, and I can't watch you die."
The old man said, not knowing when he took out a red pill from his sleeve. The pill was very magical and exuded a strong fragrance.
Lu Xu said in surprise: "What is this?"
The old man said lightly: "Tianling Pill, open up the tendons and veins."
After taking out the Tianling Pill, the old man said nothing more, and Lu Xu did not ask. The old man didn't say anything, which meant that he didn't want to say why he asked, at least the other party wouldn't harm him. Without too much hesitation, Lu Xu picked up the pill and swallowed it in one bite.
The elixir smelled the fragrance, but it was bitter when eaten. The entrance quickly turned into a stream of liquid and flowed down the throat, like a wave of heat that quickly hit the body, and then wandered through the internal organs and limbs. Lu Xu felt that his whole body was as hot as a fever, but his body felt an indescribable pleasure, and the medicine force hit the spiritual veins in his body desperately.
The fourth spiritual vein, the fifth spiritual vein, took about half an hour to stop the heat wave in his body, and Lu Xu's whole body was full of energy, his body was light, and his strength soared. Lu Xu now felt that he could kill a cow with one punch, and he could fly out more than ten meters away with a jump.
Lu Xu was originally in the third level of Qi and meridians. After taking the Tianling Pill, he jumped to the fifth level of Qi and meridians.
The fifth level of Qi and meridians, and the first feeling of Qi is felt, and there is a stream of air in every move and his strength is domineering.
No wonder all rich people are very powerful. If they had such a good treasure elixir, they would have been practicing for a long time.
