He slowly stood up and wiped the tears from his eyes.
Then he took out the compass, opened the mustard seeds and took out a hoe.
He walked back another twenty meters, chose a place with fewer rocks, and began to swing the hoe in his hand.
By this time, the sun had already risen, and the temperature was much higher than before. Without the shade of trees, a burning sensation hit my face.
Li Tian did not stop to rest because of this, but worked harder to dig the hole.
A large amount of sweat kept falling from his head, and his thin clothes quickly became soaked.
Every time he hoeed, there was a trace of depression in his heart. This was also a way to vent.
When you are exhausted, you will feel more relaxed.
Just like that, I don't know how long it took to dig out a hole.
He stopped his slowly trembling hands, straightened his curved back with difficulty, and raised his hands to wipe away the sweat on his face.
He threw the hoe aside and immediately carried Gou Wencai to the dug hole.
He just put him gently on the ground and did not bury him immediately.
"Brother Wencai, I'm afraid this is the last time we see each other..."
When Gou Wencai is buried, I am afraid I will never see him again in this life.
Li Tian raised his hand and gently stroked Gou Wencai's pale face. He was still so reluctant to let go, which made him stare blankly for a long time. He wished that all this was just a dream, and when he woke up from the dream, everything would come back.
Finally, he slowly lowered his head until his forehead was close to Gou Wencai's.
In this form, he said his final farewell to Gou Wencai.
"Brother Wencai, I will bring the head of my enemy to your grave to pay homage to you. Rest in peace..."
When he raised his head again, his eyes no longer held the cowardice they once had, but were filled with an indomitable fierceness.
He buried Gou Wencai with his own hands, but did not erect a monument for him, because Gou Fugui would also come here, and he was afraid that Gou Fugui would not be able to accept it if he found out.
"Brother Wencai, I'm sorry, I can't erect a monument for you. Just wait, I will definitely make up for it in the future."
"Don't feel bad if I bury you here. Before my old man died, he said that this place would be prosperous for future generations. I am your brother and I should be able to prosper as well. Just use your remaining energy and wish me success in avenging you."
"With you here, I think my old man won't be alone anymore. When you get down there, remember to get a wife as soon as possible. If you don't marry her in life, don't stay single again in death."
"My old man went down early. He should have made a lot of money down there. If you don't have any money, just ask him for it. Just say it's what I said. It should be no problem to get a wife."
...
"Brother Wencai, I have to leave. Wait until I come to see you again..."
Li Tian sat on the ground and finished what he wanted to say, and had no intention of staying any longer. He had more important things to do.
He returned to his grandfather's grave.
"Grandpa, I'm leaving. You haven't favored me all these years. Just favor me once. Otherwise, like Brother Wencai, I will go down there to marry a wife. You don't want to have a divorce, right?"
He said a lot of things, and finally turned around and left.
He found a small stream nearby, took off his dirty clothes, and took a good bath.
After the dirt was washed away, he took out a new set of clothes from the compass and put them on. Fortunately, he had prepared several sets of clothes in the compass.
The green shirt and long hair are indeed much better compared to the original embarrassed appearance.
In this short period of time, he had already thought about how to explain himself in front of Gou Fugui. To be honest, that was impossible and he could only make up a white lie.
Because he was afraid of revealing his secret, he did not plan to make up the letter to avoid being found out.
Along the familiar road, he came all the way to the depths of the street.
When he saw the familiar neighbors, he greeted them all with a smile, but he never mentioned anything about the college, as if he had never been there.
“Rich Rice Noodles”
It wasn't until Gou Fugui's rice noodle shop came into view that he slowly stopped.
Standing at the door and thinking for a moment, he stretched out his hand to straighten his clothes and control his expression.
Finally, he took a deep breath and walked towards the pink shop with a smile on his face.
At this time, breakfast time has passed, and there is still some distance before noon. It is a leisure time for Gou Fugui.
"Uncle Fugui!"
When Li Tian walked in, he saw Gou Fugui sitting boredly on a chair reading a newspaper, without even taking off his apron.
Reading newspapers may be the only way for them to pass the time in their free time.
Hearing the familiar voice, Gou Fugui quickly raised his head and looked outside.
"Didn't you go to Lingtian Academy? Why are you back? Did you fail the exam? Hahaha, you are dressed like a human being. You went all the way to Lingyun City to buy some clothes.
"
A familiar venomous tongue instantly reached Li Tian's ears.
He couldn't help but feel his face fall. There was no reason why he was so mean-mouthed. He even doubted whether Gou Wencai was cursed to death by Gou Fugui outside.
"What are you talking about? With my talent, I got in easily. I was just afraid that you would miss me, so I came back to see you, a lonely empty nester."
Li Tian was not polite, walked over and sat directly on Gou Fugui's side, smiling.
"Really entered?"
"It really came in."
As a result, Gou Fugui's attitude changed completely. He put down the newspaper in his hand and patted his shoulder happily.
"Hahaha, I just said that your boy has a lot of potential, and is much better than my dead son. He didn't pass the exam back then. He is really useless. He is not like him or me at all."
"hehe..."
Li Tian smiled awkwardly when he heard this, "Uncle Fugui, please stop cursing, your son has really become a dead son..."
"I think you, kid, seem to have something to say. You wouldn't really come all the way back just to see me, would you? I think you, kid, are not so kind. Tell me, what's the matter? Do you have no money?
Already?"
Gou Fugui looked slightly doubtful and carefully looked at Li Tian beside him.
Based on his understanding of Li Tian, he can succinctly summarize it in one sentence, that is, he should not go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything.
After that, he took out half a copper coin from his pocket and slapped it on the table.
"Give you fifty cents and get out."
The action is done in one go!
Li Tian "..."
"Uncle Fugui, you're almost done!"
Li Tian felt insulted for a moment. Did he really treat him as a beggar?
"Ahem." Seeing this, Gou Fugui unconsciously took back the fifty cents on the table.
"Okay, okay, if you have something serious to say, just go back quickly if you have nothing else to do. I came all the way to go all the way, so I have nothing to do!"
Seeing that Gou Fugui had finally calmed down, Li Tian looked better.
"Actually, when I came back this time, I brought news about Brother Wencai."
As he spoke, he took the money bag out of his pocket and put it on the table.
He had already taken a look when he was on the road. There were probably close to five gold coins in the purse, which was nearly 5,000 mission points, which were all of Yun Zhi's mission points.
To be honest, it's very little, but it's all the money he can spare at the moment.
"What do you mean? Why doesn't he come back? He still wants you to bring news!"
Gou Fugui immediately became anxious, obviously a little angry at Gou Wencai's behavior.
"Uncle Fugui, don't be impatient. Listen to me and tell you slowly."
Li Tian quickly signaled him not to worry.
"It's like this. Brother Wencai may not be able to come back for a while, so he asked me to come and tell you in person that this is the money he asked me to bring to you."
Gou Fugui replied, "Did he commit adultery outside? Was he arrested and imprisoned? I asked why this damn son hasn't come back for so long! Treason! Treason! Where is he now?"
Before Li Tian finished speaking, he saw Gou Fugui directly slap a big hat on Gou Wencai. He couldn't laugh or cry for a moment. Although Gou Fugui said something unpleasant, Li Tian knew that the one who cared about Gou Wencai the most was his old father.
"Don't worry, just listen to me first. Brother Wencai is not in jail, but..."
When Li Tian said this, he deliberately lowered his voice and looked around to see if anyone was eavesdropping.
The mystery of this moment made Gou Fugui slowly move his head towards him.
"But what?"
"But he was taken to practice by an old god!"
"What? Just him?"
Gou Fugui had a look of disbelief on his face and made a sound of surprise.
He looked at Li Tian with a gloomy expression and continued.
"Why do I feel like you two brats are working together to play tricks on me?"
"He can't even enter Lingtian Academy, but he can still be taken to practice by the old god? You are lying! To be honest, is that brat hiding at the door now?"
Gou Fugui said as he suddenly stood up and ran towards the door.
Li Tian couldn't help but admire that Gou Fugui knew his son quite well. If he were to be the head of the Hou Mansion, he would definitely be a qualified man, but if he was practicing cultivation, he was definitely not the right material.
"Oh, stop looking for him. He really went to practice, and he left in a hurry. He may have left Lingyun City long ago."
Seeing this, he had no choice but to continue telling the lie.
Gou Fugui, who had been looking for a long time at the door, finally gave up. Gou Wencai did not come back.
"You kid, tell me the truth! Is that guy Wen Cai really taken away to practice?"
Gou Fugui, who still couldn't believe it, confirmed it again.
This result was too shocking. He was more willing to believe that Gou Wencai was in jail than this...
"Of course! Can I still lie to you?" Li Tian bit his tongue and pulled Gou Fugui, who was standing beside him, to his seat.
"Time is really tight. His master, the old immortal, is leaving Lingyun City, so he doesn't have time to come back and say goodbye to you. You see, this is the money he asked me to bring you, saying it is his savings.
, from now on he will have no worries about food and drink with the old god, and there is no need for it."
Hearing this, Gou Fugui blankly took the money bag handed from Li Tian.
Until quite a while, no words were said.
Li Tian thought that he wanted to be a scholar, so he continued.
"It's okay, uncle Fugui, don't worry. I will take care of you until you are old when Brother Wencai is away! I promise to send you off in a glorious way!"
As he spoke, he patted his chest confidently.
Who would have thought that Gou Fugui turned around and glared at him, saying angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? You might die first! It's not certain who will give it to whom! The fortune teller has said that I can live to be a hundred years old!"
After saying that, he stopped talking to him, turned his head and looked at the money bag in his hand, and then chuckled.
"Haha, this brat has a future..."
At this moment, Li Tian saw that the corners of his wrinkled eyes were filled with tenderness and relief. Obviously, this answer made him happiest.
This made Li Tian even more determined not to tell him the truth. If he knew it, he would definitely not be able to accept it, right?
I saw Gou Fugui suddenly slap his thigh.
"As expected of me! Just like me! Hahahaha! Even Lingtian Academy can't even measure his talent accurately, so I'll just say that my son is gifted and smart!"
He seems to be still brooding over the fact that Gou Wencai failed to enter the school many years ago, so he is aggrieved.
It was just this sudden loud sound that frightened Li Tian.
Can you always have a little face? That’s not what you said just now!
But he wanted to think about it, but he didn't dare to really raise the issue because he was afraid of being beaten!
"Well, Uncle Fugui, there is actually something else I want to tell you..."
Li Tian said weakly on the side, wanting to tell him that he wanted to drop out of school.
But the smile on Gou Fugui's face froze and he turned to look at him with a dark face.
"If you dare to say that what you just said to me is a lie, I will blow your head off!"
Obviously, he had palpitations after being played by Li Tian all these years, so he felt that he was happy too early!
He slowly stretched one hand towards the stove on one side, ready to draw the knife.
"Ahem..."
Upon seeing this, Li Tian quickly pulled back his outstretched hand and smiled awkwardly.
What about trust between people? Why do you draw your sword so easily!
"I didn't lie to you, I wanted to say something else."
Only then did Gou Fugui look better.
"If you fart, let it go quickly. It looks like you didn't hold in any good farts!"
But his attitude was not very good. He thought Li Tian was going to say something bad.
"It's like this. You see, Brother Wencai has gone to practice. If you have anything to do in the future, no one will take care of you. I want to drop out of school. From now on, I will be in the village and I can take care of you. What do you think?
Sample?"
Although Li Tian spoke about this matter in a questioning tone, he had already made up his mind, and Gou Fugui's thoughts were not so important.
Hearing what he said, Gou Fugui's expression was obviously stunned.
"Why did you drop out of school? Someone bullied you in the academy?"
This puzzled him. Others were trying hard to practice, but Li Tiandu had already entered the practice academy, but he still wanted to drop out.
"No, who can bully me? I think Brother Wencai has already practiced cultivation. It is enough for our family to have one cultivation practice. If he leaves, I can't stay and take care of you."
Li Tian winked at Gou Fugui and smiled.
I saw Gou Fugui's face twitching.
"Gungungun, am I still so young and do I need you to take care of me? You can't help me at all except eating and drinking when you come back. Don't cause trouble for me and just keep practicing for me!"
"Honestly, do you want to come back because you have no money? I saw it just now. Now, I'll give it to you. Go back to the academy and don't come back if you have nothing to do."
As he spoke, he directly returned the money bag in his hand to Li Tian, without any trace of his previous digging.
Although Gou Fugui's words were unpleasant, based on Li Tian's understanding of him, how could he not understand that what he said was nothing more than asking him to practice well.
But Li Tian shook his head and did not take the money bag. He had already made up his mind, how could he change his mind.
"I'm serious, Uncle Fugui, I don't want to practice anymore. To be honest with you, it's just that I'm too tired to practice and I'm lazy! I don't want to practice anymore."
As he said that, Li Tian looked like he was in trouble.
Gou Fugui "..."
"Everyone else is struggling to cultivate, but you have such talent and you tell me that you don't want to practice anymore? If your grandpa finds out, he won't come out and beat you to death!"
He suddenly felt like he hated the fact that people with no talent like Gou Wencai were so motivated, while Li Tian's talent was wasted.
"I don't agree with that. Just go back to practice. If you dare to come back, I'll beat you to death!"
Unexpectedly, Li Tian didn't care what he said and just pretended not to hear it.
He looked like he wouldn't listen to the bastard chanting sutras.
Someone on the side started shaking his head and acting like a fool.
"I can't. Just beat me to death. I'm going to drop out of school anyway."
Seeing this, I hate being rich and noble!
He suddenly stood up and rushed to the stove as if to get something.
"Nary, where's my knife!"
Holy shit! Seriously!
Seeing his posture, Li Tian was so frightened that he immediately became serious.
"Hey, hey, uncle Fugui, don't make trouble! I'm telling you, I've been practicing now, so be careful not to hurt you!"
He immediately assumed a snake-like and cunning posture, intending to intimidate Gou Fugui.
However, there is no egg. (However, it has no egg effect)
Gou Fugui had already angrily picked up the knife and walked towards him.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Tian quickly stood up and slowly retreated out of the door.
"You brat, let me tell you, it's okay if you don't practice cultivation, but if you dare to enter my store again, I will kill you for your grandfather! He gave it to me in a dream last night and asked me to send you down to reunite with him.
