Chapter 6 Leaving Yanshan Town

Zhu Youchen almost rushed into the back room. Looking at his father with a peaceful face on the bed, his hands began to tremble unconsciously.

The moment he held his father's hand, he felt a cold touch. Zhu Youchen stood in front of the bed in a daze. His usually calm heart began to tremble, and the hairs all over his body stood up instantly.

"Dad, dad—!" Zhu Youchen called out several times with difficulty, but he still couldn't hear his father's response, nor could he hear the familiar curses again.

Unknowingly, two lines of hot tears flowed down his expressionless face, which seemed very inconsistent.

Zhu Youchen touched his cheek in confusion, unable to believe that he would cry, and even shed tears.

At the same time, a faint, unfamiliar feeling enveloped his heart. It was a kind of faint sting and heartache. Although it was very weak, it was very clear and real.

"So this is what it feels like to be sad?" Zhu Youchen slumped down beside the bed helplessly, leaning his head on his father's cold body, feeling the trace of body temperature that had long since passed away.

Zhu Youchen had always felt that he could not feel any emotions, but at this moment, he really understood.

It's not that I can't feel emotions, it's just that it's more difficult to feel them.

On the side, the puppet Da Zhuang stood there quietly, watching Zhu Youchen's every move with empty eyes.

After a long time, Zhu Youchen gradually recovered from his grief, staring deeply at his father on the bed, a faint sadness welled up in his heart again, from now on, he will be the only one left.

News of Zhu Yidao's death quickly spread throughout Yanshan Town, and all the men, women, and children in the town spontaneously came to help.

On the one hand, it was because Zhu Youchen had been diagnosed with soul talent, and on the other hand, it was because Zhu Yidao was the only butcher in the town. With Zhu Yidao gone, eating meat would become a problem in the future.

Uncle Yang and Aunt Yang helped organize the entire funeral, while Zhu Youchen just followed the process silently.

It wasn't until the moment when he buried his father and stood in front of his grave that Zhu Youchen truly felt the sadness of being separated forever.

In the desolate cemetery in the back mountain, Zhu Youchen knelt in front of his father's tombstone with dull eyes, as if he was really demented.

The men, women, and children who had come to pay their respects to the funeral had dispersed one after another, offering their condolences to Zhu Youchen.

The mayor Xiong Ba also came to the scene. He was about to leave, but he suddenly stopped and walked up to Zhu Youchen with complicated eyes. He patted Zhu Youchen on the shoulder and asked: "Boy from the Zhu family, what will you do in the future?" What do you plan to do?"

Zhu Youchen raised his head in confusion, and after looking at Xiong Ba for a long time, he slowly said: "My father asked me to go to Lanxin City before he died, and I decided to go to Lanxin City to have a look."

"Your father is right." Xiong Ba couldn't help but smile with relief: "Even if you can't become a complete puppet master, even a disabled puppet master is still better than killing a pig."

"The mayor knows the puppet master very well?" Zhu Youchen said expressionlessly.

"This... I have only heard about it." Xiong Ba smiled awkwardly and then said seriously: "There happens to be a caravan from Lanxin City coming the day after tomorrow. I will take Shaolong to Lanxin by then. College reports, please join us.”

Zhu Youchen stared at Xiong Ba for a long time, then nodded slightly gratefully: "Thank you."

Xiong Ba smiled lightly: "If you can't survive outside in the future, then come back to our Yanshan Town. This will always be your home."

For some reason, Xiong Ba's image suddenly became much taller.

In the past, he didn't have a good impression of the mayor because of Xiong Shaolong, but now, Zhu Youchen seemed to understand the reason why Xiong Ba became the mayor of Yanshan Town.

After Xiong Ba left, Zhu Youchen was the only one left in the desolate and gloomy cemetery.

Staring at the newly erected tombstone in front of him, Zhu Youchen began to talk to himself unconsciously, and recalled in his mind the experience of getting along with his father day and night since he was a child.

If Dad were still alive, he would rather be a pig butcher in Yanshan Town for the rest of his life than go to Lanxin City.

But now, his father is gone, and his best friend Yang Jian has also gone to the Palace of Saints. Thinking about it carefully, apart from the butcher shop, there seems to be nothing worth his nostalgia in Yanshan Town.

For two days in a row, Zhu Youchen stayed at his father's grave.

Two days later, Zhu Youchen suddenly stood up, patted the dirt on his body, and said solemnly to his father: "Dad, your son is leaving today. Don't worry, I won't let you down."

After saying that, he left the cemetery resolutely, giving people a feeling of burning out the boat.

At the intersection from Yanshan Town to Lanxin City, a caravan composed of five or six carriages is resting before departure. The mayor Xiong Ba and Xiong Shaolong have already carefully prepared to stand in the caravan.

Seeing Zhu Youchen approaching from afar, Xiong Ba couldn't help but show some satisfaction: "Boy from the Zhu family, hurry up, the caravan is about to leave."

"Yes." Zhu Youchen nodded and asked with a hint of doubt, "How long will our trip take?"

"A big change to the four-to-five-day journey." Xiong Ba said with a smile.

"Oh, then I may not have enough dry food. Please wait a moment and I'll go to Uncle Yang's place to get some."

Seeing this, Xiong Ba quickly stopped Zhu Youchen and said with a dumb smile: "Don't worry, there will be enough dry food on the road."

Zhu Youchen nodded slightly hesitantly, and then silently joined the caravan.When Xiong Shaolong saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy: "Dad, why did you take this fool to Lanxin City? Didn't all the puppet masters tell you? He will never become a complete puppet master in this life."

Hearing this, Xiong Ba changed his usual doting look, slapped Shao Xiong on the back of the head angrily, and scolded him sternly: "You know nothing! It's okay for you to just fight around in the town. Now that we are in this town, you are one of our own. If you have the chance, please help me a little bit, do you hear me?"

Xiong Shaolong nodded angrily and said with aggrieved expression: "I know~!"

"It's good that you know." Xiong Ba groaned and glared at his son, then ran to the front carriage with a smile on his face, "Brother Liu, everyone is here, we can set off!"

The middle-aged man whom Xiong Ba calls Brother Liu is the owner of this caravan. He is also a well-known businessman in Lanxin City. He travels to the villages and towns around Lanxin City all year round.

After hearing Xiong Ba's words, Boss Liu immediately gave the order, and the entire caravan drove out of Yanshan Town in a mighty manner.

As soon as the caravan set off, Xiong Ba and Boss Liu started chatting politely.

"Brother Xiong, I wonder why you are going to Lanxin City this time? If there is any good business, don't forget about me~!" Boss Liu teased with curious eyes.

"Go, go, brother, I have something serious to do this time." Xiong Ba rolled his eyes angrily, with a touch of unbearable pride on his face, "Look at my clothes, does he look like he is doing business? ?”

Boss Liu was stunned for a moment, and then he noticed that Xiong Ba was dressed differently today, "My dear, isn't this the one I bought in Lanxin City a few years ago? Good guy, I thought you would never let go of it in this life. It’s worn!”

"I can't help it. It's very important to go to Lyceum City this time, so I have to dress decently."

"Oh?" Boss Liu couldn't help but asked curiously: "I wonder what makes Brother Xiong so interested?"

"Hehe." Xiong Ba couldn't hide the smile on his face and said proudly: "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that my boy Shaolong has detected his soul talent and is going to report to Lanxin College."

"What? That little guy Shaolong is going to become a puppet master? Darling, this is a great thing!" Boss Liu was shocked and envious. In a daze, he seemed to realize something and said in confusion: "No, you just said What? Reporting to Lyceum College?"

"Hahaha, that's right, it's the report." Xiong Ba was proud, and then he told all the things that happened in Yanshan Town vividly, and Boss Liu and other caravan members were amazed.

Zhu Youchen sat on the carriage in the middle and naturally heard the conversation between Xiong Ba and Boss Liu.

To be honest, Xiong Ba really deserves to be Xiong Shaolong's biological father, and his love of showing off is almost the same.

At this moment, the carriage suddenly trembled slightly, Zhu Youchen subconsciously turned his head to look, and found that Xiong Shaolong had unknowingly run onto his carriage.

"What are you here for? Want to fight?" Zhu Youchen frowned secretly.

But Xiong Shaolong snorted and said, "Tsk, if it wasn't because I was bored, do you think I wanted to come?"

Hearing this, Zhu Youchen couldn't help showing a little strange look in his eyes, there was no way, since he was young, he had never talked to Xiong Shaolong so calmly.

"I'll go, what's that look in your face?" Xiong Shaolong rolled his eyes wildly and said, "My father said that after we leave Yanshan Town, we are our own people. I just thought about it carefully and think what my father said makes sense. You Don’t worry, if you encounter any trouble in Lanxin City in the future, I won’t mind helping you.”

Zhu Youchen stared blankly at Xiong Shaolong who suddenly changed his gender in front of him, feeling really uncomfortable with it.

"By the way, you idiot, where is the book "Nine Grand Jue" that Her Royal Highness the Saint gave you before? Let's take a look at it~!" Xiong Shaolong suddenly said with his eyes shining.

"Is this your real purpose?" Zhu Youchen asked with a glance.

"Hehe," Xiong Shaolong smiled and rubbed his hands in embarrassment, "Isn't this a bit curious~!"

Zhu Youchen said dubiously: "Aren't you going to Lanxin College soon? You can naturally learn Jiuhongjue if you go to the college."

"Hey~ doesn't it still take four or five days to get to the academy? And when you get to the academy, you may not be able to learn the puppeteering skills immediately." Xiong Shaolong said helplessly: "So I thought of borrowing it from you, in advance By studying in advance, you can be one step ahead when you get to the academy.”

"It's okay, but don't lose it." Zhu Youchen nodded thoughtfully, and then took out "Nine Grand Jue" from his lapel.

Now, he has already memorized Jiu Hongjue in his mind, and it will have no impact even if he loses it. The reason why he is worried about Xiong Shaoxiong losing it is entirely because this book was given to him by others, at least to him, This book "Nine Grand Jue" is very meaningful.

"No problem." Xiong Shaolong immediately assured himself, and then eagerly took the Nine-Hong Kong Jue and began to study it intently and eagerly.

Seeing Xiong Shaolong studying so seriously, Zhu Youchen's ears became much quieter.

It’s just that Xiong Shaolong didn’t seem to understand the content of Jiu Hong Jue, and showed confusion from time to time. It wasn’t until the second day of the convoy that Xiong Shaolong finally began to try to sit down cross-legged and practice meditation.

Zhu Youchen saw all this in his eyes. Although there was no expression on his face, he couldn't help but feel a little confused in his heart.

After all, he completed the condensation of the soul box and the separation of the first demon puppet on the night he obtained the "Nine Grand Jue". However, looking at Xiong Shaolong's performance, it seemed that it was very difficult, and he still hasn't felt the magic power until now.

"What the hell, where is the magic power? This book can't be fake, right?" After several attempts to no avail, Xiong Shaolong couldn't help but feel a heavy sense of frustration, and he cursed and complained.

"Isn't it all mentioned in the book? You have to feel it with your heart." Zhu Youchen said calmly: "As a saint, you will not keep a fake copy of Jiu Hong Jue."

Hearing what Zhu Youchen said, Xiong Shaolong could only curl his lips in frustration, and then continue to try.
