Chapter 8 Lao Gutou

That day, the fire that started in the Yu family burned all night long. When everyone found out, no one dared to approach. The fire was so evil that no one could guarantee whether it had something to do with the legendary immortal.

, haven’t you seen that in such a big Yu Mansion, no one escaped alive until the end of the burning?

It's so evil.

Even those who have relatives working in the Yu family dare not say a word. Even the four members of the Yu family who had a precious son who became an immortal died completely. Who dares to say a word about this matter?

Such a sky-wide fire directly swallowed up everything. As for the family of four who died inside, apart from the youngest son of Shanghuanzong, the Yu Fang family had no relatives, so how could anyone open their eyes to them?

Woolen cloth?

It's just fallen flowers and flowing water drifting far away, it's all in vain.

***

It’s really interesting to think that there are so many different water sources in the world, even though they are thousands of miles apart, they are all connected.

Far away, in Gujia Village, a remote village thousands of miles away, it was early in the morning, and the time was still very early. Most of the people in the village were immersed in dark and sweet dreams and never woke up. At the end of the village, there was a simple courtyard away from the buildings.

Inside, the door creaked open.

A figure who was no longer young but still trying to straighten his back limped out of the yard carrying a bucket.

In the silent village, even a cough seemed to be deafening. Lao Gu gently hammered his waist and walked towards the stream carrying the simple wooden bucket.

Gujia Village is not rich, but there are still two sweet wells in the village, but they are too far away from his yard. Old Gutou does not want to run those few steps, let alone have those ignorant children stare at his stumps.

Come and see, so what I always eat is water from this large stream that flows down from the mountains.

"Dong! Gudududu——"

While Lao Gutou was staring blankly at the wooden barrel that was constantly drinking water, the agile figure of a rabbit passed in front of him. Lao Gutou suddenly came back to his senses, and a sharp light suddenly flashed in his weather-beaten eyes, and his whole person's momentum

The moment was different, he seemed to have returned to that dangerous battlefield again and became the veteran who had survived the dangers.

He followed the rabbit's trail up the creek. The rabbit was too fast, and Lao Gutou lost another leg. It was difficult to chase, but when he saw the rabbit swimming in the creek at the end of his sight from a distance,

When he saw something he was holding, his whole body stopped instantly, his movements were extremely agile, and he suddenly turned around and walked away.

He doesn't want to get into trouble.

He walked quickly along the stream for a few steps. The way down the mountain was obviously easier than the way up the mountain, but Lao Gutou walked slower and slower, and then slowly stopped. After a long while, a long sigh echoed through the morning mist.

, he turned around and walked up.

After taking a closer look, it turned out to be a person. However, the figure was a bit too small. Lao Gutou frowned and looked at the marks on the small figure. After a while, he came to a not-so-good conclusion.

This is a little girl with scars all over her body. She is a little ugly, a little dry, and a little thin. There are even three long scars covering the upper left half of her face, although they have been healed.

mouth, but still slowly drained the blood out.

The appearance is broken.

In addition, there was a wound on the child's chest that was slowly soaking with blood. Lao Gu pushed his head away from the immature bandage and suddenly saw a ferocious sword wound. It seemed that the sword wound had penetrated directly through the child's body and stabbed him.

What a hole! I don’t know where this little girl is from. There are almost countless other scattered scars on her body, as well as swollen and white skin that is obviously blistered...

Lao Gutou concluded that this little girl must be a poor little girl who was silenced and had a chance to escape with her life.

He originally didn't want to meddle in such noisy matters, but at this moment, the little girl suddenly opened her big bright eyes, stared at Lao Gu's head quietly for a while, and then passed out again.

It was this familiar look that made Lao Gu pause, and finally he took this thin and pitiful little guy back.

After half a day, Changsheng suddenly woke up from her drowsiness. Maybe it was because her reaction was slower than other children. Even though the severe pain in various parts of her body made her almost unable to breathe, Changsheng did not say a word and just stared quietly.

Looking at the roof above, there was a layer of mud with straw on the roof. She had never seen such a building before.

"woke up?"

A vicissitudes of sound sounded, Changsheng slowly looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a dark figure sitting at the table looking at him silently.

After blinking and waiting for his eyes to adjust, Chang Sheng finally saw clearly that the person looking at him was an old man with many wrinkles on his face. Chang Sheng didn't know what this old man looked like when he was young, but now he looked full of wrinkles.

Every wrinkle is mixed with unspeakable stubbornness, telling the master that he is strong.

Even though it was the first time they met, Chang Sheng vaguely understood that the person in front of him was a stubborn and weird old man.

"Get up and drink medicine when you wake up. I don't have the patience to feed you."

Drink medicine?

Why do you need to drink medicine? The medicine is bitter. Oh, she was injured, so she needs to drink medicine. A child who does not drink medicine obediently is not a good child and will not be liked by the elders. Changsheng is a good child, so she will drink it all.

, nothing is wasted.

However, Changsheng tried hard for a while, but couldn't sit up at all. She blinked and looked at Lao Gu's head helplessly.

Lao Gutou snorted coldly, walked forward, helped Changsheng up in a somewhat unskilled manner, held the bowl to her mouth, and watched coldly as she drank the medicine with difficulty.

"Fortunately, you didn't cry. If you dare to cry, I will throw you away. I hate crying children the most."

Changsheng obediently swallowed the last sip of the decoction, and opened her mouth to let Lao Gutou see that she had drank it cleanly and not hidden it secretly. She has been in poor health since she was born, and drinking medicine has become a daily routine, and she is more skilled than eating.

At this moment, he realized what Lao Gutou said, tilted his head, and spoke in a hoarse voice with great persistence.

"If you live forever, you won't cry. If you live forever, you don't like crying anymore."

"...Reacting so slowly? Are you still a fool?"

Fool? Changsheng is not a fool.

But Changsheng never excuses himself, and now he just glanced at Lao Gutou unskilledly, then lowered his head to study the pattern on the quilt. This quilt was different from his own, and the pattern looked different.

ah.

"Tsk. What a fool. Forget it, I'll take it as a virtue. Immortality, right? This is a good name, simple and natural and grand. From now on, you will follow me. Remember, you are not ugly because of your appearance.

I was liked by my grandmother, but was secretly thrown away, but I picked it up. Don't tell anyone about it when you meet others in the future. Don't tell anyone about the sword wound on your body. Do you understand?"
