Chapter 31 Let’s go!
"Uncle Qi, this brother Wang is coming to see you."
Wang Yan's arrival seemed to disturb the entire yard. He could see the windows of several rooms being carefully pushed open a crack. Behind the cracks, there were nervous, A look of horror.
He couldn't help but sigh secretly.
It is hard to imagine that this is a family that once had a great outer disciple.
A member of the Lu family led Wang Yan into a side room in a somewhat cramped second courtyard.
As soon as I walked in, there was a strong and choking smell of herbs.
Looking at the old man lying on the bed with his eyes closed, as skinny as skin and bones, Wang Yan could not connect him with the shopkeeper Lu from Xiyuanfang City who had a funny conversation and a unique way of dealing with people.
But in just over a month, how could it have changed so much?
He couldn't help but cast doubtful glances at the Lu family members on the side.
The eyes of this middle-aged man who looked rather haggard were full of sorrow:
"The second uncle of the big house is not here. The fifth uncle and the sixth uncle find it difficult to accept. They both fell ill all of a sudden. The seventh uncle can only take charge of the overall situation. However, one of Second Uncle's former subordinates came to visit him, and the other party did not attack him harshly, but Seventh Uncle is a mortal after all, how could he withstand it..." As he spoke, the corners of his eyes were already red
.
Obviously, the ups and downs in the past month or so have destroyed his psychological defense.
Wang Ba was also slightly silent when he heard this.
Shopkeeper Lu, who was on the hospital bed, seemed to have heard the movement. He slowly opened his eyelids and struggled to match the figure in front of him with the person in his memory. After a while, a trace of surprise and complexity appeared on his thin face:
" Brother Wang, Brother Wang...are you here?"
This short sentence seemed to consume a lot of energy on his part.
He was still struggling to sit up, and the middle-aged man quickly stepped forward and supported him.
Wang Ba also stepped forward and held his extremely thin arm. The arm was like a reed, empty in his hand.
But shopkeeper Lu grabbed Wang Ba's hand.
His expression was moved:
"You can come...I never expected it!"
Feeling the weak power transmitted from the other party's palm like chicken feet, Wang Yan forced a smile: "Shopkeeper, I am a regular customer of your family. You're not in the store, so why don't I come over and have a look?"
"Yes, yes, it's a pity... You asked me to buy rare chickens, but I didn't do it..."
Shopkeeper Lu sat up straight, with a look on his face. He finally smiled and seemed to have some energy.
"It doesn't matter, I will buy from you again in the future."
Wang Hao comforted with a smile.
"Then I have to do a good job...and entertain the guests."
Shopkeeper Lu joked, holding on.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Only then did shopkeeper Lu notice the bamboo basket at Wang Hao's feet, and immediately looked at Wang Hao in confusion.
"This is..."
"I'm a chicken farmer. What can I do with you? Of course I'm selling chickens."
Wang Yan said with a smile.
"Selling chickens?"
Shopkeeper Lu was startled. Before he could speak, the middle-aged man beside him couldn't help but look embarrassed: "Brother Wang... we have changed our shop now..."
Shopkeeper Lu glared at him and said directly Interrupted: "We changed the shop, we... ahem... also started as merchants, so we must not forget our responsibilities!"
After saying that, he turned to look at Wang Yan and said apologetically: "Brother Wang also came to sell chickens. Give it to me, that means you think highly of me, but now the family has indeed encountered difficulties, and now...the market price of rare chickens has soared, it may be difficult to give a high price to Brother Wang..." "It doesn't matter."
Wang
Yan smiled: "One hundred taels of silver Okay, ten spiritual stones will do."
"Ten spiritual stones?!"
The middle-aged man on the side almost screamed.
What kind of rare chicken is worth ten spiritual stones?
Could this person be here to take advantage of the situation?
Shopkeeper Lu didn't think so, he just felt a little strange. After thinking about it, he directly ordered the middle-aged man:
"Anwu, go and get the five-point spiritual stone."
"Brother Wang, I'm afraid you can also buy the five-point spiritual stone now." There is no male rare chicken, but it is... it is indeed the limit of the family's ability to use spiritual stones."
Shopkeeper Lu's eyes were a little sad.
He used to be able to get dozens or hundreds of spiritual stones in one day.
Now that only five points of spiritual stones were enough for him, how could he not feel uncomfortable?
"Uncle Qi...this...our spirit stone..."
The middle-aged man Lu Anwu looked confused.
"Ahem...what I said is useless?"
Shopkeeper Lu turned around and glared.
Although Lu Anwu was in pain, he carefully supported the other party on the bed and turned to leave.
After a while, Lu Anwu held up a five-cent spiritual stone and presented it to Wang Ba.
Wang Hao took it calmly.
The middle-aged man looked shocked, but he still endured it.
Until he picked up the bamboo basket and saw the guy inside, he couldn't help but exclaimed.
"This... is a spiritual chicken!"
Shopkeeper Lu was stunned when he heard this, and immediately looked towards the opened bamboo basket.
I saw a big rooster with a strong body and a very energetic look, looking around with great air.
"This...Brother Wang, you can't do it!"
At this point, shopkeeper Lu still didn't know Wang Ba's good intentions.
It's just a matter of taking care of one's own face and deliberately selling at a low price.
"Shopkeeper, you don't need to say anything. This is my deposit. If there are any more rare chickens in the future, remember to sell them to me."
Wang Yan said with a smile.
Lu Anwu couldn't help but persuaded: "Seventh Uncle... With this spiritual chicken, both Fifth Uncle and Sixth Uncle can be saved."
Shopkeeper Lu, who was about to refuse, was speechless.
After a slight hesitation, he whispered: "Anwu, go see your fifth and sixth uncles."
Although he didn't understand why the seventh uncle wanted to separate him, Lu Anwu still obeyed and left.
Shopkeeper Lu and Wang Yan were the only two people left in the room filled with the smell of medicine.
Shopkeeper Lu whispered: "Brother Wang, could you please check if there is anyone outside the house."
Wang Yan was a little confused, but he still walked to the door and looked around carefully.
Then he looked at Shopkeeper Lu and shook his head gently.
Shopkeeper Lu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately asked Wang Hao to step forward.
Come over here.
He only said one word softly:
"Let's go!"
...
Walking through Nanhu Village, where feces was everywhere, Wang Yan couldn't help but recall the words of shopkeeper Lu just now.
"Is there going to be a big change within the sect?"
"Shopkeeper Lu seems to know something, but he doesn't dare to say it." "
Just let me try my best to leave the sect."
"What exactly is it like? What makes him so anxious? Or even fear?"
"What kind of changes, in the opinion of Shopkeeper Lu, will affect a handyman like me?" "
And why would the Lu family prefer to stay in Nanhu Village ? , and you don't want to leave even though you know something big has happened?"
"Are you going to take a risk, or do you have a hidden agenda?"
Wang Yan's heart was full of doubts.
He came here just because he felt the kindness that shopkeeper Lu had given him in the past, so he went out of his way to visit and even help.
Unexpectedly, he received an unexpected warning from Shopkeeper Lu.
He wasn't too doubtful about this.
After all, there was no need for the other party to lie to him.
But in his heart, he didn't want to leave the sect.
It's not that he is very loyal to the sect. In fact, as a handyman, it is difficult for him to have a good impression of the sect.
But here, despite the risk of exposure, it's generally safe.
As long as he follows the rules, doesn't break them, and has good luck, he can live a good life.
And despite the recent surge in prices, we can always provide cultivation materials such as rare chickens that are extremely difficult to buy outside.
After leaving the sect, it would be too difficult for a mortal like him to obtain so many resources.
Even if he could go to the market where casual monks gathered, he would probably be torn apart by his hind legs if he entered with a spiritual chicken on his front legs.
Even if it is deceived by the power of the Yinshen, it will be difficult.
Not to mention, there is a group of people outside the sect who are suspected of staring at him because of the "Yin Shen Great Dream Sutra".
If this group of people really exists, with how fiercely they have been keeping an eye on Mr. Sun for fifty years, there is no guarantee that they will not attack him again.
In short, in Wang Yan's opinion, staying in the sect and growing up is the most ideal way.
However, after receiving the warning from Shopkeeper Lu, he couldn't help but feel a little shaken.
Go or stay?
This is a problem!
After passing through Nanhu Village, the strong stench was finally left behind.
Looking at the greenery and blue lakes of Nanhufang City in the distance, he felt slightly better.
Then, he heard a cold and solemn voice behind him.
"Your name is Wang Yan?"
