After Jiang Guining cleaned up, she was about to rush out of the small courtyard, but before she could go out, Lu Yangsheng shouted to stop.

Jiang Guining stopped and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Lu Yangsheng was speechless, pointed at Jiang Guining, and said feebly: "Taoist Master, are you planning to enter the mountain empty-handed?"

Jiang Guining looked himself up and down, and there was nothing wrong with it. So he said as a matter of course: "What else? The trail was empty when we came here. How else could we go there?"

Lu Yangsheng pointed at Jiang Guining's belly and asked helplessly: "Aren't you going to bring something to eat?"

Jiang Guining naturally pointed to the food box in Lu Yangsheng's hand and said puzzledly: "Don't you have that?"

Lu Yangsheng was speechless. Jiang Guining talked so much about how to seize the opportunity for his own practice, about the ups and downs of his practice, and talked about so many great principles. The final goal was to focus on the food box in his hand. But since

Having already agreed, Lu Yangsheng has no intention of going back on his word. Regardless of whether Jiang Guining can help him stabilize his realm, with him following him, he will always avoid detours on the road of cultivation.

Looking at Jiang Guining, who looked confused, Lu Yangsheng sighed and said, "Taoist Master, how long do you think such a small amount of food is enough for the two of us? You can't come back to eat every day during the mourning period, right? How can anyone mourn like this?

ah."

After listening to Lu Yangsheng's words, Jiang Guining reacted with an embarrassed look on her face.

"What you said seems to make sense, so..."

Lu Yangsheng pointed to the house and said to Jiang Guining: "So please, Taoist Priest, please carry rice on your back."

Thinking of the bag of rice that Lu Yangsheng was carrying in the morning, Jiang Guining glanced at her thin body, smiled bitterly, and asked tentatively: "How about we switch? Xiaodao will help you carry the food box, and you will carry it."

With food?"

Lu Yangsheng took a look at his mourning clothes and then looked at the food box. He really couldn't understand how shameless a person could be to say this. Isn't it unlucky to help someone who is wearing mourning to carry tribute?

?

Lu Yangsheng looked at the sky and felt that he couldn't spend any more time with Jiang Guining, so he said something and walked out of the house leisurely.

"Taoist Priest, if you really don't want to carry it, that's okay. Anyway, I'm more resistant to hunger. It's not a big problem if I don't eat for a few days."

Seeing Lu Yangsheng walking out of the yard, Jiang Guining touched her belly, her face full of confusion. In the end, in order not to be hungry in the next few days, Jiang Guining could only walk back to the house to carry the rice bag that Lu Yangsheng had just carried back in the morning.

Already.

When Jiang Guining sighed and walked out of the yard carrying the rice bag, there was no trace of Lu Yangsheng anymore. He hurriedly ran out of the yard, and then he saw Lu Yangsheng on the street who had walked far away, shouting

Wait for me and run after me.

In this way, amidst Jiang Guining's complaints, Lu Yangsheng began to fulfill his agreement on Master Jiu's funeral. At the same time, he also avoided the stormy town and completely kept himself out of it.

It is said that the snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit, but if the fisherman is just a child, it is better to stay out of the matter, not to mention who is the fisherman at this time, it is still unclear.

————

When Li Aniu saw Lu Yangsheng strutting past his door carrying a large bag of rice, he concluded that Lu Yangsheng must have embezzled Master Jiu's inheritance, and the amount must not be too small.

Since Lu Yangsheng used to sell medicine, Li Aniu took over, so he knew exactly how much money Lu Yangsheng had. The little money Lu Yangsheng had was definitely not enough for him to buy so much food. Now that Lu Yangsheng buys so much food, it is impossible to say that he has no money.

Li A Niu would never believe that he stole Master Jiu's money.

Besides, who doesn’t buy food in advance during the day? Why would they choose to buy food early in the morning? Moreover, Lu Yangsheng’s route home does not pass through his own alley, but he chose this alley.

, walked a long way to save others by oneself. Li Aniu felt that Lu Yangsheng must have taken the money that he should not have taken. He was afraid of being discovered, so he chose to sneak around after Jiuye was buried, taking advantage of the early morning when no one was around.

to buy food.

After Lu Yangsheng left, Li Aniu returned to the house alone, and became angrier the more he thought about it. I killed the old man, not only did I not get a penny, but I also lost my livelihood because of it. Now I am hiding at home, scared.

He didn't even dare to go out of the house. But what about you, Lu Yangsheng? Not only did he use the money that should have belonged to him, Li A Niu, to buy food and live a good life, he also flattered the patriarch and won a good reputation.

I never noticed it before. You, the Sangmenxing, are so clever.

Money is so charming. Li Aniu lay on the bed, tossing and turning. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. In the end, his face became ferocious. He sat up and punched the wall hard. Blood oozed from his fist in the blink of an eye. Li Aniu said to

There is no feeling at all.

He must get his own money back. If he has this money, maybe Li Aniu will not have to worry about his livelihood in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Aniu got up and left. When he reached the courtyard gate, he picked up the torn bamboo hat on the wall and put it on his head. He locked the courtyard door. Seeing that no one was around, he hurried to Lu Yangsheng's house.

Because he had a ghost in his heart, Li Aniu covered his face with a bamboo hat all the way and walked in fear, fearing that he would be recognized when he met an acquaintance and the matter would be exposed.

He walked all the way with anxiety, and when he finally saw Jiang Guining's lonely little hut, Li Aniu breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking about the days when he used to rely on the medicine shop and domineering in front of the villagers, and then look at the doglike appearance he has now, Li Aniu had a wry smile on his face.

Li Aniu knew it in his heart. He knew that the old shopkeeper was most likely dead. You know, once the sons of the Song family confirmed their positions, except for promotions, it was not known that any of them left the original position alive.

Now, something happened to the drugstore. The shopkeeper has been changed, but the old shopkeeper has never been seen again. So, the old shopkeeper has no chance of survival.

Thinking about what he had done before, and then thinking about his situation, Li Aniu was so frightened that his face was covered with cold sweat. He had a background in the past, so no matter how much he went too far, the herb collectors in the town did not dare to do anything to him.

But now that the backstage has collapsed, Li Aniu doesn't believe that those people will let him have a good life after knowing the news.

Thinking of this, Li Aniu looked ferocious and stared at Lu Yangsheng's thatched house.

Liu Mazi, Lu Yangsheng, all blame you. If it weren't for you, how could I, Li Aniu, have fallen to this point? Wait, when the limelight passes, I, Li Aniu, will repay you a hundredfold.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. In the end, Li Aniu's eyes turned red, like a crazy beast, and his whole body exuded an astonishing amount of violence.

Seeing that there was no one around, Li Aniu took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to kill, and strode towards Lu Yangsheng's house.

Since the fence of Lu Yangsheng's house had been damaged by Jiang Guining, Li Aniu walked into Lu Yangsheng's house without any effort.

Because he knew that there could be no one near Lu Yangsheng's house, Li Aniu did not have the intention to be a thief when he arrived here. He walked with a swagger and kicked open the door of Lu Yangsheng's house.

After entering the house, Li Aniu frowned. No one was there? Li Aniu tried to shout twice softly, but no one came out. This made Li Aniu very unhappy. Originally, he wanted to beat Lu Yangsheng, so that

Lu Yangsheng obediently took out the money, but now it seems that he can only search for it himself.

Lu Yangsheng's house was not big, just one room with few furnishings, so Li Aniu turned the house upside down without much effort.

Nothing? Nothing?

Li Aniu went through the house and looked for all the places where the money might be hidden. He even looked through the land, but there was still nothing there.

Li Aniu didn't believe it, so he looked through it again, but in the end he still found nothing.

After turning over the last inch of land and grabbing the last handful of soil, Li Aniu's face was filled with tears.

They searched the house but found nothing, not even Li A Niu, the bag of grain Lu Yangsheng was carrying.

Li Aniu sat slumped on the ground, with tears streaming down his face. Without money, he, Li Aniu, could only work as a herbal collector. But since Li Aniu went to the medicine shop, he had not been to the mountains much. Now let him go again.

How could he, Li Aniu, know the way to collect medicine? Besides, whether he could collect medicine or not, he had done all the unscrupulous things he had done before. If he went into the mountains, he would encounter someone who had been bullied by him.

The herb gatherers were about to be beaten to death and fed to wild animals. This kind of thing had never happened before.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Li Aniu wiped his face, cheered himself up, and stood up again.

He couldn't give up, he absolutely couldn't give up. He, Li A Niu, didn't believe that Lu Yangsheng didn't get a penny. There must be something there, but he, Li A Niu, couldn't find it. If he looked again, there would be nothing inside the house, but there would definitely be something outside.

At this time, Li Aniu was almost crazy. No matter who had endured successive blows and could encounter fatal danger at any time, it would be difficult for him to withstand such a blow.

After Li Aniu stood up, he calmed down, forced himself to calm down, and looked at the room again. When he saw the only stone table in the room, Li Aniu's eyes lit up, and he picked up the empty stone table.

It fell to the ground, didn't it break? Li Aniu frowned and dropped it again, this time finally breaking the stone table.

Li Aniu squatted on the ground and picked up the broken pieces one by one. Unfortunately, there was nothing. Li Aniu took a deep breath and turned his attention to the pile of stones supporting the stone table. After rummaging through it, he removed the stone table.

I turned over the soil under the soil, but still found nothing.

At this time, Li Aniu's fingers were oozing with blood and his body was covered in mud. He looked like a walking corpse that had just crawled out of the soil. Just looking at it would make people shudder.

After rummaging through the last part of the house, Li Aniu became desperate. He stood up, staggered, and walked to the kitchen outside the house.

No, no, no. Nothing.

How could this happen? Li Aniu picked up the iron pot Lu Yangsheng was cooking in, threw it hard on the water tank in the courtyard, smashed the pot into pieces, and kicked the stove over. After doing this,

Not giving up, Li Aniu raised a stone and smashed the water tank. In the end, Lu Yangsheng could not find anything useful in his already shabby little home.

It's over, he, Li A Niu, is over, and there will never be a chance to turn around again.

Holding the last bit of hope, Li Aniu searched again. This time Li Aniu searched very carefully and even pulled up the weeds outside the house. Finally, Huang Tian paid off, and this time Li Aniu finally had something.

gained.

When Li Aniu turned to an inconspicuous corner, he finally discovered a strange place. The soil there had been disturbed, and a weed was deliberately planted on it. If Li Aniu hadn't rummaged carefully, there would have been a strange place.

Definitely won't find this place.

Li Aniu had tears in his eyes, he finally found it.

He was careful, ignoring the damage to his fingers, and gently turned over the soil, but the scene in front of him made Li Aniu completely collapse.

Inside are two tablets of rough workmanship. Apart from these, there is also a pair of somewhat tattered tiger shoes. Other than that, there is nothing else.

Li Aniu collapsed, completely collapsed. He didn't expect that he would only find these in the end. Where was the silver? Where was the silver he was looking for? Li Aniu picked up two tablets, raised his knees, and folded the two tablets into

He picked up the two halves, then picked up the little tiger shoes and threw them far away.

No more, nothing left.

Li Aniu staggered out of Lu Yangsheng's house. Without money and backing, it would be difficult for him, Li Aniu, to get ahead in his life.

When people do some bad things, they often comfort themselves by saying, "It's okay. It's okay if you do it. Who hasn't done bad things?" But when the thing happens, they can't bear it anymore, and they blame it on others.

The last "but for" is to say "If it weren't for so and so, I can't do anything." Or there is a more straightforward one, thinking that you have done nothing wrong, what is wrong? It is the world that is wrong. But in fact

, a mistake is a mistake, and when a road really comes to an end, people will have to pay for what they have done in the past.
