Chapter Four: Asking for help
Lu Yangsheng was too far away, and he only heard a rough outline of Master Jiu's story. Moreover, Lu Yangsheng had just come back, and he had no idea what Master Jiu was talking about. His confusion and pain caused Lu Yangsheng to think that he had just appeared.
He had hallucinations, but there was a voice in his heart telling him that the story told by Lord Jiu would definitely be useful to him. This voice had saved him many times since he was a child, and this was the child's only support.
The pain in his stomach seemed to have disappeared. Lu Yangsheng stared directly in the direction of Master Jiu and moved forward unconsciously. The crowd was getting closer and closer, but Lu Yangsheng seemed not to notice it at all.
Six years later, Lu Yangsheng came close to a crowd for the first time since his mother died. In the past, Lu Yangsheng would never approach a crowded place, but today, Lu Yangsheng had no choice but to approach.
When Master Jiu mentioned the word "Edict", he paused for a moment, took out an old cigarette stick from his waist, knocked it gently on the sole of his shoe, put a pot of cut tobacco in the cigarette bag, and started smoking as if no one else was around.
The anxious eyes of the people around him. Mr. Jiu always tells stories as he pleases. No one has urged Mr. Jiu. The last time Mr. Jiu was urged, he left immediately. As a result, no one listened to the story for a long time, and the one who urged Mr. Jiu was
The child was also isolated by everyone. The child was scared and secretly ran to the river at noon. He caught a dozen small crabs and sent them to Master Jiu. Only then did Master Jiu tell everyone the story again, and the child integrated into everyone again.
After that, no child dared to rush him. As for the adults, no one in this town dared to hide when Jiuye knocked someone with his cigarette pole.
"Ahem... Is this an edict? It's very particular." Master Jiu finished smoking, took a sip of tea, put the cigarette rod back on his waist, coughed and spoke again, but did not continue telling the story.
"When old Taoist priests subjugate demons and eliminate demons, this is the word "edict" that they often say on their lips. It is also the word "edict" at the beginning of their drawings. Isn't it powerful?"
"Awesome." A group of children below were waiting for Master Jiu to finally speak. They wanted to wait for Master Jiu to quickly tell a story, but Master Jiu turned around and mentioned the word "Edict", so most of them were exhausted.
Don't want to hear any stories today.
"Do you want to learn?" Master Jiu said with a smile.
Except for three or four children who responded, the other children immediately booed, and there were many people whispering to each other.
"Broom star!" A scream suddenly sounded from the children. One child seemed to have seen something particularly scary. He rolled and crawled away and ran away. The other children followed and left.
Looking in the opposite direction, I saw that Lu Yangsheng had walked up to the children at some point. The children immediately screamed and fled. The bold ones ran to a stop in the distance, picked up stones from the ground and threw them at Lu Yangsheng.
The adult didn't stop him. Instead, he spat, cursed, and walked away with his child.
The screams of the children also woke up Lu Yangsheng. At this time, Lu Yangsheng realized that he had walked to the crowd without knowing it. Looking at the children walking away, Lu Yangsheng rubbed the corners of his clothes. His clean eyes had no ripples. He had long been used to it.
Already.
Master Jiu looked at the children walking away and gave Lu Yangsheng a dissatisfied look. There were a few children who wanted to learn from him, but as soon as this child came, they all ran away. Now that he is getting older, Master Jiu no longer remembers how old he is.
, the old man has nothing to do, he just likes to watch the children scratching their heads and scratching their heads as they learn to write. It’s not that they have to teach them, but they just think it’s very interesting that the children are learning the words one by one like monkeys.
Master Jiu knows the baby in front of him. After all, there are not many people in this small town who don’t know this baby. Both his parents died when he was six years old. There is only one generation in the family. Once his parents died, there are no relatives in the town. The baby’s mother is crazy.
After that, my mother-in-law never came to see Wa'er again. There was an uncle who wanted to plan for Wa'er's family property, but he was beaten away. Strangely enough, not long after Wa'er's maternal family had an accident at Wa'er's house, the family
Accidents happened to people, people got sick, and the small family fortune was soon dispersed. In the end, only a six-year-old child was left struggling to survive in the town. People in the town said that the child was a lone star of evil.
, it’s too old, whoever is close will be unlucky, which leads to everyone hiding away. If they really meet, everyone will secretly curse and be unlucky. People who don’t like bathing will go to Hegougou outside the town.
I had to roll around a few times before I dared to go home.
Master Jiu also met Lu Yangsheng. He often saw Lu Yangsheng listening to stories far away and not close to the crowd. Everyone in the town knew that, firstly, he was far away, and secondly, no one would easily step on this pile of shit.
, after all, no one wants to be messed up. As for Master Jiu, he is old and has no taboos. He really doesn't care about these things. I really can't stand it anymore. He will also say a few words such as "people's hearts are not old".
Speaking of which, before the accident in Lu Yangsheng's family, although he was not a wealthy family, he still managed to maintain a few pieces of ancestral land. The man's family was also diligent and the woman's family was virtuous. During the slack season, the two of them could go to the mountains to get some mountain goods to supplement the family's income, and they lived a good life.
Fiery.
Master Jiu remembered Lu Yangsheng’s father because he was one of the few children who was willing to follow him and learn to write effectively. Lu Yangsheng’s home was relatively close to the north gate of the town, so every time Lu Yangsheng’s father came back from work or
When I come back from the mountains, I always pass by the old ginkgo. Every time I bring some wild fruits or home-grown vegetables to Master Jiu. Master Jiu remembers him very clearly. He was a very good person, but why was he buried in the mountains? I heard that the bones have not come back. What a sin.
Yo.
With the audience gone, Master Jiu had no point in teaching anymore. He slapped his lips, stood up and walked home, saying "You've done something sinful" as he walked.
"Master Jiu." Master Jiu had not taken a few steps when he heard someone calling him from behind. He turned around and saw that it was Lu Yangsheng.
Apart from that time when he was building a stone table, Lu Yangsheng had never begged anyone, and no one was willing to let him beg. Lu Yangsheng knew that he was never popular, so Lu Yangsheng never asked for help. After his parents left, Lu Yangsheng never felt that there was anything else.
It's worth asking for it. But today I can't help but ask for help. Even if there is only a slight possibility, Lu Yangsheng still wants to know what the story is.
Lu Yangsheng tightened the Ganoderma lucidum in his arms, gritted his teeth and put it in his hand, carefully lifting a corner just enough for Master Jiu to see it.
"Master Jiu, my name is Lu Yangsheng, can I ask you something?"
In this world, there are always times when you need to ask for help, and when you ask for help, you must have the attitude of asking for help. This is what my father said to my mother before, and Lu Yangsheng has always remembered it.
