Chapter 24 Sang Sheng
Zhong Lin’s house is located in Lishui Township, twenty miles west of Qingyang County.
At this time, the group drove the ox cart and slowly headed towards Lishui Township. The winter snow had already melted, and the road gradually became popular. They were all farmers who went to the county town to buy New Year's goods.
Xu Xing, Mr. Jin and Liu Yi were sitting in the ox cart. The cart was covered with a thick cashmere blanket, and the ox cart was placed with a charcoal brazier. The heat was rising up, so it was not cold.
"I wonder where Brother Xu learned this strange technique?" Liu Yi saw Xu Xing wearing a thin blue shirt and a sword, his demeanor was as calm as a pineapple, but his expression was calm and calm. He couldn't help but feel a little jealous and asked.
Asking someone’s teacher is actually very impolite in the world of cultivation, but Liu Yi didn’t understand this taboo, so he asked directly what he was thinking.
Xu Xing's face showed a look of memories and said, "I met an immortal and learned a sword technique. Although it cannot prolong my life, I practiced hard and hard, and it is enough to support myself."
Xu Xing had almost no truth in his mouth, but it was very necessary at this time.
Sure enough, when Liu Yi heard this explanation, his eyes dimmed and he lost interest.
Most people in the world practice immortality for immortality. Even the emperor cannot resist this temptation. If Xu Xing tells him bluntly, Liu Yi will be bothered to learn, but he will not teach him.
Mr. Jin smiled and watched this scene, not curious. Where can I have a beautiful wife and concubine in practicing Taoism? Is it easy to live a happy life?
I remember twenty years ago, there was a wealthy family in the nearby county with a family named Li. The family had a wide house and a wealth of fertile land. But later, a single seedling went crazy. On the wedding night, he left his fiancée and shouted for immortality and immortality. As a result, he was middle-aged, with white hair and a look of vicissitudes. But at that time, the foundation of the family had been usurped by the housekeeper, and his fiancée was also crazy. He was so angry that he burned the house and... he was sentenced to a prison sentence.
The way of immortality is an illusory thing, it’s better not to mention it.
Before we knew it, the ox cart had arrived at the Lishui Township. There was a small river at the entrance of the village, and there were year-round pear trees growing on both sides. Every March in spring, snow-white pear blossoms meander along the water, hence the name.
Everyone got off the ox cart, and Mr. Jin's servant drove the ox cart. In a few words, he had arrived at the Zhong family.
The Zhong family is a truly poor family, with three thatched huts and a courtyard wall with fences and thorns outside, which is much worse than the Xu family.
"The father of the predecessor was also a scholar's reputation and was taken care of by Hong Juren. Although the Xu family is a small family, it is not a family member." Xu Xing compared himself secretly and thought to himself: "It's not because of Xu Qianxue's fate."
Women with a young phoenix destiny are mostly innocent and unlikely to be poor and outdated, even to the point of being in a state of dignity and laughter.
Otherwise, if there is a dark history, or if you have a few tricks, you will think that your mother will have a geometric increase in the difficulty.
At this time, the old woman heard the sound of old coughing in the yard, as if she was angry and weak: "Who is outside?"
"Auntie, it's me, Jin Cheng." Mr. Jin looked a little pity and said, "Liu Yi and Brother Zhong, I have come to see you in the same year as my brother Zhong."
Seeing this scene, Xu Xing felt a little heavy, and he seemed to understand Zhong Lin's tit-for-tat confrontation at that time.
The old woman pushed the door and her hair was like a pile of dead grass. She seemed to have not had a good sleep for a long time. Her face was haggard, and her turbid eyes had no spirit at all.
He lost his husband in his early years and was determined to pull his son into a scholar. He finally succeeded, but his son died in a blink of an eye.
Such a blow can be imagined in the despair and numbness in my heart.
However, this is the fate of all living beings struggling with each other. They are as powerless as duckweed, always accompanied by sorrow and misfortune.
"I know how this resentment came." Xu Xing murmured in his heart, "This is the resentment towards fate and the jealousy of living, and the resentment after the tragic death."
At this time, Zhong Lin's mother also welcomed several people into the house. The old woman was in a hurry, poured a few bowls of tea, and said wailingly: "There is nothing to be entertained at home."
Mr. Jin looked at the tea, and a large leaf in the bowl floated up, frowned, and did not drink it, saying, "For Brother Zhong, Auntie wants to be mourned. If it is short, you can come to our county office to get it."
This is a bit sincere. Although he was always praised when he made friends with Zhong Lin, it was finally a relationship.
Seeing this scene, Xu Xing looked at Mr. Jin with admiration. No wonder the Xiahou swordsman presented the "green girl" to Mr. Jin's father and son. The righteous and wealth-ridden nature of the Jin family is indeed the same.
"I dare not bother the young master anymore." The old woman's eyes also showed gratitude.
After Mr. Jin finished speaking, he turned to Xu Xing with a consultation look. Seeing Xu Xing shook his head slightly, he knew that Zhong Lin's ghost was not here, so he asked the old woman, "Where is Brother Sang now?"
The old woman said, "Zi Ming was frightened that day and is bedridden and is still staying in the old Chen family store in the town."
Mr. Jin nodded and said, "Then I'll go see him."
Facing an old woman, everyone had nothing to say, so they had to say goodbye and headed towards the old Chen family store in the town.
Liu Yi turned around and looked at the Zhong family, as if he sighed, and said, "The white-haired man gave the black-haired man, alas..."
Everyone was full of heavy thoughts, and the carriage was silent. Along the way, only the sound of the ox cart was heard.
Chen's old store.
Sang Xiao's face was dark, his eyes were even more sunken, as if he was skinny. At this moment, he grabbed a corner of the quilt tightly, sat around the corner of the bed, and looked at the direction of the wardrobe with trembling body. At this moment, there was a black air circling constantly in the shadows, forming a face.
Sang Sheng looked shocked and shouted, "Don't come over, there is a demerit and a debt..."
"Ah... Ghost!" The black shadow's eyes were blood-red, and he ignored Sang Sheng's words, smiled grimly, and rushed towards Sang Sheng suddenly.
Hearing the harsh screams upstairs, there was a riot at the bottom of the inn. The diners looked at each other, stopped chopsticks, and said, "What's going on with the scream just now?"
At this time, the shopkeeper Chen stopped slimming his head and fiddled with abacus. He raised his head and smiled, "There is a scholar living above. He has been hysterical again these days. Please don't panic, please."
But he kept cursing in his heart. This poor scholar named Sang would make him go away if he screamed like a ghost!
It turned out that Sang Xiao always said that there was a ghost in the room, but after the shopkeeper brought the shopkeeper up there, he always couldn't see anything. After a while, he simply ignored it.
However, at this time, two young men dressed as scholars suddenly walked quickly up the stairs with four or five servants.
The shopkeeper's expression changed drastically. He was about to call his friend to stop him and asked him about his purpose, but he suddenly saw Mr. Jin's back, but he recognized him.
On this side, Mr. Jin and Liu Yi had already walked up to the second floor at this moment, with a hurried look and full of anxiety.
Just as the ox cart was walking downstairs, Xu Xing suddenly felt the evil spirit of the evil spirit, so he suddenly lifted the curtain, jumped up, and flew to the window on the second floor.
This scene really scared Jin and Liu, but they quickly realized that there must be something wrong with Sang Sheng, so they did not dare to delay it. They led a group of servants to the old Chen family store.
