Most of the time, what you have at home is what you have. What Xu Changsheng has better than Liang Mi is that he still has a home. Although the home is empty, at least he still has a place to stay when it is windy and rainy outside.

.And I feel at ease in my heart and will not feel empty.

Liang Mi left after lunch. In his words, he still had to patrol his territory and didn't have time to stay here for so long.

After lunch, Xu Changsheng took out the silver that had shrunk by half, and then carefully pulled out a small piece of wood from the leg of the table. It was hollow inside, opened the wood chip on top, and carefully put the small piece of silver in. In addition to the broken silver, there were several pieces inside.

Copper coins and an antique copper ring.

This is another place where he hides money, the place where he hides big money in his parents' room. As for this place, he keeps some small money for daily expenses.

The copper ring has a trace of hollows. It was given to Xu Changsheng by Liang Mi, and he asked Xu Changsheng to pawn it to buy roast chicken. Xu Changsheng always thought that it was an ancient relic, and he might be able to pawn it for a few pieces of silver.

But Xu Changsheng didn't dare to go now. The owner of the pawn shop would definitely deceive Xu Changsheng because he was so young. He had to go there when he was older. Maybe he could sell more money after a few years.

Afterwards, Xu Changsheng recalled what he read in the book in the yard. Although he had a good memory, if he didn't recall it occasionally, he would forget it within a few days.

When his parents were still alive, he attended a private school for a few months. He loved to study and worked hard. At that time, his mother kept praising him that he would be able to take the first prize in the exam and become an official, so that they could also enjoy a happy life.

.But who would have thought that after only attending the private school for a few months, Xu Changsheng would never enter the private school again.

"Dong, dong, dong" I don't know who knocked on the door. Xu Changsheng suddenly panicked, like a child who was caught stealing food.

But when I thought about it, everyone in the town knew about my "stealing studies", and after reading the examples of self-taught students in books, I basically felt at ease.

But are you really at peace? If you are at peace, will you still go to Gu Lingqing to cause trouble?

Only he himself knows whether he truly feels at ease.

Xu Changsheng stood up, patted his coarse clothes, and went to open the leaky door. As soon as he opened the door, Xu Changsheng was stunned.

Mr. Lu, who had a wrinkled face and was stroking his goatee, was looking at him coldly.

Xu Changsheng panicked, but he didn't expect Mr. Lu to come to him.

Mr. Lu’s name is Lu Shi. I don’t know if it’s because he is the tenth in his family, or if it has some other meaning. People in the town don’t know.

I have been in the town for decades, but I haven't gotten married yet. I have been living in a small house next to a private school and rarely go out. There are no friends in the town that I can talk to.

In addition, he is sarcastic and mean, and no one cares about him. If it weren't for the fact that he has dedicated his life to the town, he would probably be scolded.

Although his surname is Lu, he has nothing to do with the "Five Mouths" Lu Pin. At most, they have the same surname. But this same surname is not a good thing for Lu Pin. When Xu Changsheng stole classes many times, he watched Lu Pin being raped by this Mr. Lu

Holding a book and tapping away.

You can say anything that will embarrass the Lu family.

Lu Shi didn't say anything, and just looked at the confused young man in front of him. Xu Changsheng also gradually became a little afraid. After all, he had taken his class for so long without paying the tuition, so he shouldn't come to collect the tuition.

But I still followed the way I did in class, straightened my clothes, slowly handed it out with both hands, then put my left hand on top of my right hand, bent down, and bowed to the end. After all, the ceremony cannot be abandoned.

"Student Xu Changsheng pays homage to Mr. Xu Changsheng," Xu Changsheng's voice was trembling.

Lu Shi sneered: "Student? Whose student are you? I, Lu Shi, can't teach someone like you."

Xu Changsheng froze on the spot, still bent over and trembling.

Lu Shi sneered, pushed Xu Changsheng away, and stepped into the courtyard.

The young man was pushed directly into the corner and looked at the "sir" in front of him who had taught him how to read and write for many years. He was now entering his courtyard with a sneer.

Before Xu Changsheng entered the room, he could hear all kinds of cynicism from Lu Shi in the courtyard. Suddenly, Lu Shi opened the door tremblingly and said bitterly: "Why are you still sitting at the door? You don't think it's embarrassing, but I'm afraid of embarrassment.

, if you don’t know, you will say why I, Mr. Lu, bullied you.

This poor boy."

By the time Xu Changsheng got up, his face was pale and extremely nervous. It seemed that he remembered the scene of being arrested that day, and his face turned pale again.

But he still entered the room. When Xu Changsheng entered, Lu Shi had already found a chair and sat in the center of the lobby, waiting for Xu Changsheng to enter.

When he went in, he didn't know where to stay, so he stood in front of Lu Shi obediently, with his hands behind his back, tightly twisting his outer clothes.

Lu Shi put his hands in his sleeves, shook his goatee, and asked sharply: "Xu Changsheng, you haven't fallen far behind in these years of classes, have you?"

Xu Changsheng was frightened. He didn't expect that Lu Shi actually came here for this matter!

"Yes...it didn't fall much." Xu Changsheng replied in a trembling voice.

Lu Shi dug inside his sleeves and said at the same time: "As long as it doesn't fall behind."

After saying that, he took out a folded piece of paper from his sleeve, then soaked it with some saliva, and carefully opened it with his eagle-claw-like hands.

It was a piece of writing. Lu Shi looked at it carefully before putting it on the table aside. He turned to look at Xu Changsheng and said: "Xu Changsheng, I did some rough calculations. You have been taking my class these years."

, not much behind, so it stands to reason that you have to pay me 20 taels of silver now, as a gift. The other money can be waived. Seeing how poor you are, you can't afford the price, but these 20 taels of silver

, you have to pay.”

He was not afraid that Xu Changsheng would not respond. After speaking, he squinted his eyes and put his hands in his sleeves, waiting for Xu Changsheng's response.

Xu Changsheng broke into a cold sweat. This was the first time he encountered such a scene. "First of all, sir, I don't have that much money."

"No money? Why do you come to school if you don't have money? If you don't have money, just give away your tofu. Why are you pretending to be a wealthy family?" Lu Shi blew his beard and glared.

Xu Changsheng twisted the clothes behind him tightly, trembling all over.

"You can speak for yourself. You have also taken the class now. This practice is a rule set by the saints. Everyone has to give it. You see, I have exempted you from other things. I am the one who has this practice.

It's really unavoidable, right, so you'd better pay it in quickly. I heard that you made a lot of money selling herbal medicine at Sun's Pharmacy a few days ago." Lu Shi touched his goatee and said with a smile.

.

"Here, I'll give it." Xu Changsheng gritted his teeth. After all, he had taken so many classes, and he didn't dare to say what he had learned. At least he had learned a little about reading and literacy. It was only natural for him to hand it over to others for cultivation.

Fortunately, I sold that century-old ginseng plant a few days ago, otherwise I really don’t know what to get now.

But I guess Lu Shi came here after hearing the news. Otherwise, he didn't come to the door for so many days before. Now that he had just got some money, he came to the door.

The young man dragged his stiff body and opened the door of his parents' room. As soon as he entered, he quickly locked it from the inside.

Lu Shi didn't follow him either. For him, as long as he had money.

Xu Changsheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead while carefully opening the cassette. He also deliberately moved his hands and feet lightly to avoid being overheard by Lu Shi.

Then he took out the seventeen taels of broken silver. As for the one hundred taels of silver note, he thought about it and decided not to take it out yet.

When Lu Shi saw the large amount of broken silver in Xu Changsheng's hand, his eyes lit up and he even stopped stroking his beard.

It wasn't until Xu Changsheng put the broken silver on the table that he woke up.

"Sir, this is all I have left. I just counted and there are still three taels missing."

Lu Shi stared at the silver on the table tightly, pretending to mutter: "That's okay, but you can make up for the three taels of silver you owe in the future. I will take the seventeen taels from you today.

."

Without waiting for Xu Changsheng to answer, Lu Shi, who had just finished counting, immediately swept his sleeves and pocketed the broken silver.

Now that the money was in hand, there was no point in staying here anymore, so he threw the note to Xu Changsheng.

"Since you have already given most of it, I will give you this note, but don't forget the silver you owe. If you dare not give it, you will be punished sooner or later!" Lu Shi said fiercely.

Xu Changsheng just looked at the written document blankly, as if he had settled something on his mind.

After receiving the money, Lu Shi left with satisfaction.

…

The two women who came out of Sun Mansion were walking together

Going north, we soon arrived at the foot of Nanfeng Mountain. The mountain was verdant and a river was inlaid on this emerald like a ribbon.

Two stunning beauties in white clothes strolled towards them, like a priceless landscape painting. However, the older-looking woman frowned slightly and then lightly tapped her foot.

The Nanfeng River not far away was filled with water, and Le'an was lifted to the shore by a water column. He immediately cupped his hands to the woman and said, "The kappa Le'an of the Nanfeng River has seen the Immortal."

The woman frowned even more.

"Where is the mountain god here? Could it be that I can't invite him?" the woman said coldly.

Listening to the woman's words, Le'an felt a gloomy wind gust, and he quickly bowed and said, "Report to the Immortal, there is no mountain god here."

"Do you think I'm easy to bully? The mountains here are flowing and forming a whole. If there is no mountain god sitting in charge, who can achieve this?" The woman's eyes were like swords, staring at Le'an.

Even a little river boy dared to bully her. The colder the woman's expression became, she couldn't help but have murderous intentions. The title of "Blood Cloud" in Cangluo Continent did not come for nothing. It was poured out with the blood of countless monks!

Le'an's mind was trembling. He had never felt such murderous aura before. It was like being in a boundless blood prison, with all the ghosts crying around him. He felt that his small body was not big enough for someone to breathe. When Le'an was about to despair, the young man next to him

The woman stopped her.

The red lips opened slightly, and the young woman's cold voice came: "Aunt Yun, there is indeed no mountain god here. Even this kappa was not conceived for a long time?"

"Huh"

The woman called Aunt Yun was surprised.

"It was actually formed by the transformation of heaven and earth. It seems that is not a rumor."

Aunt Yun's voice softened a lot and asked: "Then do you know where the temple in the mountain is?"

Now it was Le'an's turn to be surprised. Although he was a kappa, he could control the entire landscape. The woman said earlier that the mountains changed because of him. But she did not know that there was a temple in the mountain.

Looking at Le'an's puzzled look, he knew that asking was in vain. With a wave of his hand, Le'an flew back into the river.
