I unlocked the Wanjie investment system

"Little brother..." Mu Lao had already struggled to speak, and countless dry wrinkles appeared on his entire face.

"Mu Lao, you'd better have a rest..." The big man's eyes were red, and there was begging in his voice.

Mu Lao waved his hand to signal the big man, and then waved to Gu Xiaoning, who walked over and squatted beside the bed.

"You must have discovered it..." Mu Lao spoke intermittently, but no one was impatiently urging him, Gu Xiaoning listened intently: "My life is rapidly draining..."

Gu Xiaoning nodded.

"I don't have much time, there are some things I have to tell you." Mu Lao covered his chest with an extremely painful expression on his face, and the hearts of several people tightened.

"Old Mu!" The big man firmly grasped the bed sheet, and then weakly let go the moment he saw Elder Mu.

"My real name is Rong Gaoen, and all the males in our family are called Rong Gaoen. Because I used to be a carpenter, everyone called me Mu Laotou." Mu Lao coughed a few times and continued to talk .

"My ancestor was called Rong Chao. He was rescued by an expert. To commemorate this benefactor, the ancestor left a will. All males born in the Rong family must be named Rong Gao En."

"When I saw you for the first time, I always felt very familiar. It's just that my memory was confused at that time, and there was nothing serious about my body."

"I just remembered that when I saw you for the second time, I wanted to invite you to chat. But little brother, you have something important to do, so I can't force it..."

Old Mu clenched his right hand into a fist, covered his mouth and coughed heavily, and the big man quickly brought water for Old Mu to moisten his throat.

Gu Xiaoning really didn't expect Mu Lao to be a descendant of Rong Chao!For him, it was more or less unbelievable.

"Big guy, help me fetch those things..." Mu Lao pointed to the cabinet behind Gu Xiaoning.

Gu Xiaoning reached out her hand to signal him to come, there was only a small wooden box that was locked in the cabinet.Mu Lao opened the wooden box, and there was everything in it.

"Little brother, you can look at these things."

Gu Xiaoning opened a piece of yellowed paper, and the facial features of the man on the image looked very familiar.

"Things passed down from generation to generation have been copied countless times, and the facial features are a bit different. This is the self-portrait of a master left by the ancestors."

"This is me?" Gu Xiaoning looked a little similar.

Chen Shu leaned over to take a look, and then took a closer look at Gu Xiaoning: "Hey, Ninggou, it doesn't look very much like you at first glance, but after careful comparison, it's almost the same as your facial features."

Mu Lao nodded slightly to express his affirmation.Then Gu Xiaoning couldn't wait to open the ancient books that were taken out of the box. Gu Xiaoning flipped through the books first, and found that there were missing parts at the back of the books.

The book records Rong Chao's life experience.Rongchao had been wandering all his life, and followed Xu Fu to the east twice to seek the elixir of life.

However, in the first dozen or so pages, there are only a few strokes that briefly mention the matter of Dongdu.It is more about the details of the relationship with the expert.But at the end of the story of the two people, there is a sentence at the end: finally Ganyu.

Together they are "beginning in Langya and ending in Ganyu."

The rest of the items in the box had almost no informational value, so Gu Xiaoning sorted out Rongchao's relics and put them back into the wooden box.

He couldn't think of what happened to the Rong Dynasty in the future, and perhaps the answer would be found only by finding the remaining half of the ancient books.

"Old Mu, the remaining half?"

"The remaining half is in my brother's hands." Mu Lao closed his eyes, and a tear fell from the corner of his eyes: "I used to have a big dispute with my brother, and since then we have severed the brotherhood, and the other Half the ancestral relics are with my brother."

"Mu Lao..."

"My brother has been insane since then, and I'm afraid he lost those things a long time ago. I visited him later, but he sent me away. So I don't know where the rest of the half is. .”

"If little brother wants to know, you can try to start with my brother."

Chen Shu was confused and dozed off from boredom.

Gu Xiaoning roughly understood the mystery of old man Mu's life experience, but he still couldn't understand some things: "I'll go and have a look when the time comes. But you have a body..."

"I'm fine. If necessary, little brother, you don't have to worry about my brother." A trace of ferocity flashed in Old Man Mu's eyes.

"Our family has existed for you, little brother, for generations." The old man Mu was relieved for a while, and his expression improved a little at this time.

"Existing for me?" Gu Xiaoning was puzzled.

"It is said that the ancestors passed by a holy place when they came back from the east, where they obtained the secret formula for giving birth to children. That's why the males born in the Rong family must be called Rong Gaoen. Coincidentally, the males born in our Rong family have been born for generations. Man."

"Perhaps it is because of this that generations of men in our Rong family have been cursed by the heavens. Every man's life expectancy is no more than 30 years old. Probably this is the price."

The old man Mu started to cough violently again, and the big man patted his back for relief.

"Little brother, how old do you think I am?"

Subconsciously, Gu Xiaoning felt that this curse was more or less related to their physical aging, and he was extremely terrified.If calculated according to the aging speed of normal people, the situation of old man Mu is probably 90 years old for normal people.

"80 years old?" Chen Shu, who was taking a nap, became interested and made a bold guess.

The old man Mu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I am 25 years old."

Everyone was shocked!
How can a normal 25-year-old be like this?
"Mu Lao, you're not kidding us, are you?" Chen Shu shrugged, suddenly feeling bored.

But Gu Xiaoning knew that Old Man Mu was absolutely not lying.

"Although they are cursed, the males of our Rong family generally age rapidly after the age of 25." "I don't know why my brother and I have been aging rapidly since the age of 20 in our generation. We used to hide at home I didn’t go out for two or three years. That’s when I had a dispute with my brother.”

Gu Xiaoning probably understood the reason for the dispute between the two, and he definitely couldn't escape it!May I ask, at the age of 20, who is willing to accept the indisputable fact that the body is aging?

Some people get everything at the age of 20, and some people lose everything at the age of 20.

"Then you haven't thought about breaking the curse?" Gu Xiaoning felt more guilty than shocked. If it wasn't for him, perhaps the descendants of the Rong Dynasty would not have suffered so much!
"Our Rong family has continued to our generation, and I only gave birth to one daughter. She is studying abroad, and her body has not changed at all." Old man Mu answered irrelevant questions and continued to narrate.

"From the moment my body aged prematurely, I thought the curse was getting worse. It wasn't until I saw you, little brother, that I realized that the way to break the curse is you, little brother."
