Lao Gong begs you not to seek death

After the master left, apart from going to and from school, he shut himself in the room all day long, without thinking about food and drink, and besides stroking the silver dagger over and over again, he was no longer interested in other things.

Every day when Lin Yu came home from school, Lin Yu could always hear the neighbors talking about him, saying how old he was, he was the one who passed by and looked into the house, and the female college student who accidentally slipped and fell down the mountain in a tourist spot a few days ago was also caught He cursed dead.

Even if the hamster raised by the uncle downstairs died, people could think of him.

Hearing these gossip, Lin Yu had a different idea for some reason.

Could those people really be "cursed to death" by themselves, just like... the master.

Later, Xiaojun accompanied him to send Master's body to the cremation ground. It rained heavily that day, and the raindrops fell on the top of the umbrella, making a tick-tock sound. Yan wanted to see where Master flew to, but the dark umbrella cloth blocked the light, blocking the line of sight and all Lin Yu's thoughts.

His flash of thoughts broke the embankment, pouring out like a flood, and there is no longer the master holding a ruler and hitting his palm, no one taught him how to get along with ghosts, no one forced him to act as a ferry in the park people.

Those gag days are never coming back.

Xiaojun saw that the baby was originally well-behaved, and suddenly started to choke, with big tears falling to the ground, as if someone punched him without knowing it, and he didn't recover for a long time. The place started to hurt, and I didn't know how to cry.

Lin Yu cried for a full two hours. The moment he received the master's ashes, he knelt on the ground holding the warm porcelain jar, and refused to get up until the funeral home was about to close.

Xiaojun was distressed and angry, and in the end he had no choice but to drag him away by force.

Later, Lin Yu took out all his savings, went to the pawnshop to redeem Master's compass, bought a long-distance bus ticket with Xiao Jun's ID number, and rushed to Liu Jinli with Master's urn location.

What he didn't expect was that Liu Jinli was still living in his master's thatched hut, but the moment he received the ashes, he did not hesitate to tear down the hut, and then burned it all down. The fire spread from the top of the mountain to the mountainside, arousing dandelions flying all over the sky, like a sea of ​​fire.

The people in the village hurried over to put out the fire and scolded Liu Jinli.

He just stood there quietly, with the brim of the bamboo hat covering his eyes, making it impossible to see his expression clearly.

No wonder the ancients would say that there is nothing more sad than heart death, and human death is the second.

When he got home, Lin Yu took out the book his master had given him, and carefully read it from the beginning. When he found the information about Ji's family and "Sinan the Corpse Seeker", he carefully tore off the page. Into his arms, silently made up his mind.

Even if it took his life to do the three things that his master had told him, he still had to complete them.

The rumors of the neighbors in the neighborhood continued, and even the police came to his house to investigate and collect evidence. The family members of the deceased came to make trouble one after another, demanding that Lin Yuxue pay with blood. Gradually, Xiaojun became sick due to the humiliation, and relied on medicine to fall asleep every night. On the day of Lin Yu's sixth birthday, he gently wiped away the tears from the woman's face, and said softly: "Mom, I will go to grandma's house this summer vacation, so I won't cause you any trouble. I've already done it for you." After six years of trouble, it's time for you to take a break."

Xiaojun's pupils were dimmed, and he stared blankly, without saying a word.

Lin Yu got up and went back to the room, when suddenly a woman's weak voice came from behind.

"Yu, if my mother hadn't given birth to you in the first place, wouldn't these things have happened..."

Lin Yudeng widened his eyes and looked back, seeing his father and mother lying in a pool of blood, dying with regret...

Looking at it again, his sight returned to normal, the woman and the man sat decadently on the chair, this scene made him feel distressed.

He immediately clenched his fists, the nail clippers seeping bright red blood into the flesh.

The summer vacation came quietly, Lin Yujian packed up his things, took the bus to the town, and bid farewell to the land that he spent with his master and his family.

At that time, he could not have imagined that this "temporary farewell" would last for 12 years.

When he came to grandma's town, Lin Yu could smell a fresh smell as soon as he got off the car. This was something he had never experienced in a big city. From time to time, the sound of students reciting can be heard from a high school in , and people in school uniforms are shopping near the school gate.

I saw a gray-haired old man rushing over from the opposite side, received him warmly, helped him with his luggage, and asked him how he was doing recently.

Lin Yu shouted in embarrassment, "Grandma is good."

The old man grinned from ear to ear, "Okay, okay, the last time I came here was to visit relatives during the New Year. It's been half a year, rare visitor, rare visitor."

Lin Yu was even more embarrassed. In his impression, he spent very little time with his grandma, and basically stayed with his parents. It was the first time that he visited alone like this, and he felt a sense of loneliness from a stranger.

However, his "loneliness" was thrown out of the sky the moment he opened the courtyard door.

Grandma cooked a table of delicious dishes for him, and the aroma penetrated into the nostrils and stimulated the taste buds, making people drool.

He wolfed down a table of vegetables into his stomach, thinking that this summer vacation would be a fairy-like leisure time, but grandma suddenly threw a hoe over without warning, "Come on, it's time to work when you're full."

Lin Yu: "..."

So, after less than three days since someone came here... he regretted it.

Grandma seems to regard him as a cheap labor force. He has to go up the mountain to weed and bundle firewood all day long, and go down the mountain to pick vegetables and wash rice. At night, he has to wash clothes for himself. The euphemistic name is: "I do my own things, I do it for your own good." .”

If you don't do it, call his parents and send him back.

Lin Yu complained so much that he had no choice but to give up.

But this is still not the way people live.

He is here for vacation, not to work!

Lin Yu was incompetently furious, and got angry at the cabbage under his hands, twisting the leaves into a ball of twists. At this moment, grandma poked her head out from the next door, the wrinkles on her face fluttered, looking like an old urchin, " Did you just say something?"

He hurriedly apologized, "No, no," and silently spread the vegetable leaves...

In this way, Lin Yu temporarily forgot about those bad things in his "rich and fulfilling" life.

People in the town would set up a market every now and then, and the days of the market were extremely lively. The originally wide and deserted streets were crowded with densely packed shops, and people crowded shoulder to shoulder to choose products. Lin Yu’s task was to pick a fresh one from the market. He carried an empty pannier on his back and sneaked into the crowd with his head on his back. He stepped on the little boots made by his grandma and looked left and right. He looked like a howling wolf dog cub, which attracted the attention of several aunts in floral clothes. Looking at each other, I sighed that this beautiful baby must have come from the city.

When the vendors saw him picking goods by himself, they shouted:

"My little friend, the fish I just caught are fresh!"

"My family's meat is fresh. My family raises it by myself. Look, the meat is plentiful and clean!"

"My family's is the best! My family is raised from fish ponds, natural and pollution-free!"

Most of these fish were crucian carp, swimming gloomyly in the pool. At first glance, there was nothing wrong with it, but Lin Yu saw something unusual at a glance.

The soul is lost, and the fish have already gone to reincarnate.

So none of these fish was fresh.

He quite consciously followed his grandma's point of view, didn't buy any, and went to the market with the money.

Originally, he just wanted to buy some snacks, but suddenly a yellow figure floated past him, just like the shadow of Master when he was wearing Taoist robes...

Lin Yu immediately turned around, "Master!"

The hustle and bustle of the crowd passed by, only a stall selling Taoist robes lay quietly opposite.

Lin Yushen stepped forward by a ghost, "Boss, is this dress the size I wear..."

After returning home, without any suspense, grandma taught him a lesson, "Tell you to buy fish! What are you doing buying clothes! Could it be that you still act like a Taoist priest?! Shameful! Send it back to me!"

It was rare for Lin Yu not to let go, "If you don't give it away, I want this."

Pointing at him, the old man was so angry that the veins on his forehead twitched, "Okay, okay, since you want it, then wear it and don't take it off!"

After listening to the old man's words, Lin Yuzhen went back to his room and changed into this airtight Taoist robe, put away the mahogany sword and dagger given to him by his master, took the tools for binding firewood, and climbed up the mountain.

It was the hot summer time, and the sound of cicadas poured into his ears one after another, which made him very irritable. In addition, the clothes on his body were long and wide, which made him sweat all over his body.

Passing the bifurcation of the mountain, the left side is the usual uphill road. There is no shelter on this road. The sun shines directly on the yellow earth, making people dizzy. On the right side is a shaded path with only a few blocks The shaped light spots spread through the lush branches and leaves to form a lamp flower, which looks cool and comfortable.

A few cool winds blew from the intersection, poured into his wet clothes, and dried his sweat in a short while.

Without even thinking about it, Lin Yu stepped on this unusual road with his little feet.
