You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Chapter 378 Go to the official road to watch the excitement

Three days later, Shi Xiaoliu and his two companions reached the bottom of the valley and saw the people living in the cave and his two friends.

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two arrived at the right time. This man was chatting with his friends.

"Pot, how long do you plan to live here?"

"Stay here for a few days. The snow is getting heavier. But don't worry about the old house being crushed by the snow in the middle of the night."

"Pot, what you said makes sense, but you'll need a lot of firewood to live here."

"Your family doesn't have room for you either, would you like to stay here with me for a few days?"

"But if we move out like this, we'll never be able to move back in."

“I’ve lived here for several years, and the old house is getting more and more dilapidated.

I can’t care about anything else right now. I just want to get through this winter well.”

"Guozi, when I came out, your mother asked me about you?"

"Have you told her then?"

"No, she's not nice to you."

"Pot, are you really planning to make a living somewhere else next spring?"

"I have no land, no house, and I can't survive here. I have to go somewhere else."

"Guozi, why don't you go to Yangzhou Prefecture? I heard from Shi San from the east that it's easy to find work in Yangzhou Prefecture."

The cave became quiet. When Shi Xiaoliu and the other two were about to retreat, they heard the people inside talking again.

"Do you still remember that I went to Yangzhou Prefecture and worked there for three years?"

"Remember, why didn't you do it later?"

“My parents wanted to sell me to the boss, and the boss agreed at the time.

I didn't want my descendants to be slaves, so I pleaded with my employer, and the eldest master also spoke for me.

If my boss hadn’t bought me, I wouldn’t have been able to stay in Yangzhou and work.”

"Tsk, have your parents ever done something like this?

No wonder you didn't go to work in Yangzhou Prefecture. You fell ill again and they said that you could only survive if you were separated to live somewhere else.

This is too much. The family is not unable to survive, so why would they sell their son?
You are too patient. Over the past few years, you have been reluctant to tell the truth and let the villagers gossip about you."

"If I told you something as shameful as this, would you have believed it before?

In the past few years, I have lived in the old house, but my parents still hate me for letting them miss the opportunity to make a fortune. "

"Let's go and talk to the clan leader about this."

“When I came back that year, I told the clan leader about this.

At that time, I said that I didn’t want any of the fields and land that were allocated to me, as I would repay them for their kindness in raising me.”

"Then why did you think it through now and tell me about this matter?"

“A few days ago, I met the eldest young master. I didn’t dare to recognize him, but he recognized me.

A few days ago, someone close to him came to look for me and said that since I was living like this at home, I might as well follow the caravan out in the spring to find a way to survive. "

"Pot, is the young master now an official?"

"Yes, the young master is a very good person. The few words I know were all taught by people around him."

"Pot, I will go with you next spring. Will the caravan accept me as an extra?"

"We will go to Yangzhou Prefecture to meet the manager of the caravan tomorrow. If the manager has no objection to having one more person to do the work, you can come with me."

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two left the cave. They wandered around the valley bottom for a while and then returned to the top of the mountain.

After returning, the three of them sat under the eaves and chatted.

Shi Xiaoliu sighed, "That Guozi is a smart man, but unfortunately he has a pair of stupid parents." Shi Zelan said, "We have a chance to go to Guozi Village and hear more news."

Xia Yu immediately agreed: "Okay, I'm very bored lately anyway."

The three of them indeed felt that their days were becoming somewhat boring, and the news from the sect was too far away from them.

The next day, the three of them went to Guozi's village. In order to hear more news, the three of them directly put on invisibility talismans.

In winter, the idle people in the village stayed at home to chat. Shi Xiaoliu and his two companions walked around the village and looked at several houses that were about to collapse.

The three of them returned to the top of the mountain, then sat under the eaves, looked at each other and laughed.

Shi Zelan smiled and said, "It was a wasted trip. The weather is cold and there is nothing to do. No one is leaving the house."

"Pot's friends still really have feelings for him."

"Can they go together next spring?"

"Let's go to Guozi Village again next spring. We can calm down and meditate and practice with peace of mind."

The three of them went back to their rooms to meditate and practice. The winter snow was over, but Master Qijun and Wanyu did not come.

It was a rainy spring day. Shi Xiaoliu and two other people stood on the edge of the mountain, watching the hustle and bustle below.

The filial sons at the foot of the mountain walked around the mountain again and again, and then left crying loudly.

"Old man, please go safely, don't worry about me."

"Dad, let's go, don't think about it."

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two released their spiritual senses to see the excitement at the foot of the mountain, and soon found out that an old man had gone.

In order to meet his request, the filial sons went to the foot of the mountain and then buried the old man elsewhere.

After Xia Yu withdrew his spiritual consciousness, he said to Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan: "Every time I think I understand the human nature of the mortal world, they will come out to prove to me that I don't understand them at all."

Shi Zelan looked at him and said with a smile: "With so many people in the world, there are naturally all kinds of strange people and strange things."

The three of them remembered Guozi who lived at the bottom of the valley during the winter, and turned around and went to the canyon from the back mountain.

They stood on the top of the canyon, listened to the noise from the bottom, and soon went down to the bottom.

They entered the cave where the pot had lived, and there was a layer of ash on the stone table.

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two looked at each other, and Xia Yu said, "It looks like he left early."

After the three of them came out of the cave and looked at the herbs, they decided to go to the official road to watch the fun.

The three figures turned around, and then three young men with ordinary faces walked out from the small path.

They quickly blended into the crowd of onlookers, listening to everyone discussing, "This family's children are really filial, they are willing to run around the foot of the mountain for the old man."

"Yes, I heard that when the old man was alive, he was also very kind to the younger generations in the family."

"Hey, they are getting ready to leave."

"Of course I have to go."

"Do you want to go and watch the fun?"

"If I don't go, it's a white wedding, and it's also tainted with the word 'white'.

Besides, our village needs to be lively recently."

"Oh, I heard the pot in your village ran away?"

"He didn't run away. The clan leader said that he went out to earn a living."

"How come he has no fields and land?"

"This time his parents started making a fuss, and we found out that they wanted to sell their son a few years ago."

"Is his family very poor?"

"It's not hard. It's much better than my family. Except for Guozi, who is still single, all the other brothers have married and have children."
