The heroine eavesdropped on her heart, and my villain's character collapsed.

After Shui Sheng left this time, Lin Xuan, who felt bored, returned to the statue and sat in a daze.

For the ephemera that lives and dies.

One short day is its long life.

For gods with extremely long lifespans.

A month was just a matter of taking a nap.

But because of the expectation, the short time seemed to be stretched infinitely, which made Lin Xuan feel a little uncomfortable.

When the January period arrived, Lin Xuan showed up early and sat on the futon waiting.

After waiting for almost an hour, Shui Sheng still didn't show up.

Just when Lin Xuan, who was bored, thought Shui Sheng might be unable to come because of something, footsteps sounded outside the door.

Lin Xuan, who unconsciously had a smile on his face, was about to go out and take a look, but found an old lady with a hunchback.

The old lady is one of the few devout pilgrims in Tutu Temple.

Because a person suddenly jumped out of the temple, the old lady was startled.

After coming back to her senses, she opened her mouth with few teeth and nodded with a gentle smile.

The old lady took a few pieces of cake as an offering and knelt down with some difficulty.

She put her hands together with a pious look on her face, praying in her heart that she could die soon.

As a land lord, Lin Xuan can naturally hear the prayers in her heart.

This old lady is ninety years old this year.

As the saying goes, it is rare in ancient times for a Taoist to live seventy years.

She is considered a well-known longevity girl in the neighborhood.

However, her relatives and friends of the same age passed away one by one.

When she was sixty-five years old, her husband passed away first.

When he was seventy-one years old, his son unfortunately fell into the water and died while fishing.

When he was seventy-five years old, his beloved grandson contracted a strange disease and died within two days.

In the second month after her eldest grandson died, her daughter-in-law left her a letter and took her little grandson away.

She didn't know how to read, so she found a private school teacher in the town to read the letter for her.

The content of the letter was roughly that the daughter-in-law blamed herself for her misfortune and felt that it was not easy to raise a child by herself. Her natal family introduced another marriage for her to remarry. She thought it would be good for the child, so she went.

After listening to the content, the old man smiled with relief.

Because when she turned seventy, some people in the town whispered that if she lived too long, she would eat the blessings of younger generations.

Having always believed in God, she was frightened when she heard it. Her son's death the next year made her blame herself even more.

After her eldest grandson left, she actually no longer dared to meet her daughter-in-law's youngest grandson.

Now more than ten years have passed, and she doesn't know what happened to her daughter-in-law and grandson far away.

But her friends and even her juniors were gone. Occasionally, when she went out, the streets were full of unfamiliar faces. The world she once lived in seemed to have disappeared.

She could only wait for death and pray that she could die early.

Because I heard before that if you commit suicide you will go to the eighteenth level of hell.

If you want to be reincarnated and see your loved ones again, can you just wait for death?

After praying, the old lady stood up from the ground with difficulty. It took a while for her body to adapt to her balance. When she turned and left, she forced a gentle smile to Lin Xuan.

It was sunset now, and the dim sunlight shone in from the temple gate.

Children are laughing and chasing each other on the street, and adults are calling them to go home.

The vendors carried their items and shouted and hawked as they went home.

The cicadas on the tree suddenly screamed sadly.

The old man walked towards the temple gate against the light. This scene fell in Lin Xuan's eyes, making him, a land man, feel a sense of loneliness.

After the old man left, Lin Xuan was about to return to the statue.

A series of rapid footsteps came from outside.

Shuisheng, who was sweating profusely, ran to the door and saw Lin Xuan. He pointed but was speechless. He squatted on the ground and panted, barely spitting out his tongue to dissipate heat.

Lin Xuan took out two oranges from his offering and threw them to Shui Sheng.

Shuisheng quickly peeled it off and stuffed it into his mouth. The sweet juice made his throat feel slightly better.

"Don't you practice martial arts every day? Why can't you run for a while?"

Lin Xuan walked over and asked with a smile.

"You...you try to run ten miles in one breath. It's all Brother Liu's fault. He had to ask me to help him deliver the letter back, which made me run errands on my rare trip."

After Shuisheng finished speaking, he simply walked to the ground. He was really exhausted.

Lin Xuan walked over and squatted beside the water and smiled.

"How was life in a gang?"

"of course……"

Shui Sheng got excited when he said this. He sat up from the ground and started chatting with excitement about some of the horrifying stories he had heard, such as how a certain hero went to the grassland and met a group of barbarians, killed three hundred people in one go, and ran away. A master can lift a huge boulder weighing 10,000 kilograms.

Lin Xuan smiled and listened.

But not long after hearing this, Shui Sheng had to go back to the gang.

He can only come out once a month. If he returns late, he will be fined and deprived of food.

Seeing the slightly taller child hurriedly patting away, Lin Xuan returned to the statue with a sense of loss.

In the following days, Shuisheng will come on time every month.

In the first year, Shui Sheng took the trouble to chat about what he had heard about the world.

His body has become stronger and stronger, and he has seen many changes in his body by practicing martial arts every day.

In the second year, Shui Sheng grew a lot taller and already had a youthful air.

He was no longer as enthusiastic as before about the world he had seen and heard in the past. Occasionally, you would see him with some injuries on his body, but his smiling face was still the same.

In the third year, Shuisheng's height increased again, and a few beards could even be seen faintly at the corners of his mouth.

After two years of experience in the gang, he has matured a lot. Every time he comes over, he will talk to Lin Xuan about a certain girl.

Lin Xuan, who saw through his thoughts, didn't reveal it. Who is a young man who doesn't have a child?

It's just that when Shuisheng came back in the western year, his face was more sad than smiling.

In the end, he couldn't hold it in anymore and said that a master's apprentice came to their gang to attend the gang leader's birthday party a few days ago.

The girl he likes falls in love with at first sight, and he wants to make his way in the world and become a better master so that the girl he likes knows that he is worthy of her.

The smile on Lin Xuan's face faded a little, indicating that it would not be a bad thing to venture into the world.

I have seen a lot of beautiful girls.

Then you won’t be trapped by one.

After making the decision, Shuisheng waved goodbye to Lin Xuan.

The two of them saw each other once a month, and started to see each other once a year.

Lin Xuan thinks this is fine, but now the incense in Tutu Temple is getting bleak.

The same is true for his divine power. Appearing too much every month makes him a little tired, but seeing him once a year makes him feel more relaxed.

After going out to explore, Shui Sheng would come every year as promised.

The boy who once starved to death on the streets has now become a ranger.

It was only in the third year of his career that Shuisheng failed to keep his appointment.

However, someone sent him a letter and placed it on the offering table.

After the messenger left, Lin Xuan read the letter and learned that Shui Sheng had encountered trouble in the north while trying to save a girl. He was evading pursuit by his enemies and might not be able to come back soon.

Seeing that the handwriting on the letter was no longer crooked, Lin Xuan was relieved and a little worried at the same time.

However, this separation lasted ten years, and the only thing that was punctual was that Shui Sheng sent a letter every year.

When Shui Sheng came back ten years later, he already had a wife and children by his side.

The former young ranger is now a father, and Lin Xuan almost didn't recognize his mature face.

When the two met again, Shui Sheng came up excitedly and hugged Lin Xuan.

With a happy face, she introduced her wife and children to him, and handed her infant son to Lin Xuan, asking Lin Xuan to choose a good name for the child.

Lin Xuan was in a good mood after helping the child choose a name.

Shuisheng told Lin Xuan that he planned to go home and open a martial arts gym, and asked his wife to buy wine to go with the food. The two drank and had fun in the Tutu Temple until they got drunk.

Wait until Shui Sheng gets drunk.

Lin Xuan, who looked drunk, had his eyes clear again, but his figure gradually disappeared.
