Full-time sword repair

Shiniu Village.

"Have you heard that the kid from Ma Sandao's family really ran off to look for an immortal, or to the Tianyan Sword Sect?"

"I am dying of laughter. This Gou Wa is really a fool. Is he worthy of seeing an immortal? Then can we all see an immortal?"

"Hahaha, this idiot must have lost his way a long time ago. He might even die outside. There are so many monsters outside that many immortals can't defeat them. With his physique, he's not even enough to defeat the monsters."

"That dog boy's body is surprisingly strong. No matter how hard we beat him, he will be fine."

"It doesn't matter. The old lady recovered from her illness a few days ago, but Ma Sandao and his wife are going to be ruined."

"Who says it's not true? Ma Sandao is so bold that he dared to borrow money from the town bully. It is said that the interest has compounded to more than 100 taels. Even if Ma Sandao and his family dig the land for ten years, they may not be able to pay it back."

"Do you think the bully doesn't know? Yesterday, all the valuables in Ma Sandao's house were taken away, and even his wife was taken away. They said that if she didn't pay back the money within three days, she would be sold to a brothel. Ma Sandao was so angry that he vomited blood."

"Alas, this family is completely finished. I think they took in Gou Wa, and this kid is a disaster."

...

At the entrance of the village, several villagers were chatting.

The village is small, so if something happens in any family, the whole village will know about it within a day.

Such a big thing happened in Ma Sandao's family, so naturally it had already been known to the whole village and became the hottest topic.

The reason was that Ma Sandao's mother was seriously ill. In order to save his mother, the filial son Ma Sandao went to the town to borrow high-interest loans. Then Gou Wa was deceived and went to look for immortals, and disappeared for several months.

Ma Sandao's loan sharking had increased more than ten times. Unable to pay off the debt, the bullies emptied Ma Sandao's house and kidnapped his wife. Ma Sandao vomited blood and fainted. His mother felt guilty and wanted to die. If the villagers had not discovered it early, she would have hanged herself.

In one day, Ma Sandao's family was ruined, which is really sad.

Just as the villagers were chatting excitedly, a barefoot young man came running towards the village, following footprints, laughing as he ran.

"Grandma! Gou Wa is back! Gou Wa found the Immortal, and the Immortal made friends with Gou Wa!!"

When the villagers saw the appearance of this slovenly young man, they were all shocked.

Isn't this guy the Gou Wa who went out to look for immortals? This kid is really lucky, he is still alive and he even found his way back.

Gou Wa passed by the crowd and wanted to go straight home.

The villagers immediately surrounded him and asked questions curiously.

"Hey, Gou Wa, where have you been for the past month?"

Gou Wa chuckled, raised his head proudly and said: "Of course I went to find the immortal!"

"Tsk, did you find it?"

"I found it! I even became friends with the Immortal Master!"

"Hahaha..."

Everyone laughed, of course they didn't believe it. How could a fool be qualified to make friends with an immortal? He wasn't even qualified to meet him.

One villager couldn't help teasing him, "Since you have seen an immortal, let me ask you, what does an immortal look like?"

Gou Wa tilted his head and thought for a while before saying, "The immortals are very good-looking, especially the immortal master who is my friend. He is very, very good-looking and younger than me."

"Oh? He's friends with you? Why?"

"I don't know about that. They kept calling me Second Senior Brother, but I told them I wasn't Second Senior Brother. My name is Gou Wa. They still asked me to stay with them, but I didn't want to, so I ran back."

Phew~hahahaha...

The villagers laughed so hard that they fell over, and it was obvious that they didn't believe what Gou Wa said at all.

Come to think of it, how could anyone believe what a person recognized as a fool in the village said?

Seeing that they didn't believe him, Gou Wa got angry and said, "You don't believe me, right? Then let me ask you, is my grandma already well?"

Although he hasn't seen his grandmother yet, he believes the words of the immortal master. The immortal master said that he had sent people to treat his grandmother in advance, so his grandmother must have been cured. He would not lie to himself!

The villagers laughed even more happily.

"Your grandma is better now, but that's because she survived because of her strong body. What does it have to do with you?"

Gou Wa said proudly: "It was the immortal I asked to save grandma. I told you that I am friends with the immortal!"

At this time, a kind-hearted villager couldn't help but said, "Gou Wa, although your grandmother is fine, something bad has happened to your family."

"what?"

"You should go home and have a look, alas."

Hearing what the other party said, Gou Wa didn't dare to delay any longer and ran away immediately.

When he arrived at his familiar home, Gou Wa couldn't help but smile again and shouted, "Grandma! I'm back!"

However, after entering the house, he found that a lot of things seemed to be missing from the house. It was empty, the chickens and ducks were gone, and the vegetable garden was overgrown with weeds and no one was taking care of it.

Gou Wa, feeling uneasy, rushed into the house and saw two broken wooden beds. A middle-aged man was lying on one bed, and the grandmother was lying on the other.

Grandma was lying on the wooden bed, looking at the ceiling with empty eyes, and several villagers and neighbors kept comforting her.

However, grandma seemed to be unable to listen to anything and kept muttering, "Let me die, it's all because of me, this old man, who killed my son..."

"Sandao's mother, you have to hold on. Your son is in a coma now. If he wakes up and finds out that you are gone, it will be the end of the world."

"Yes, Sandao's mother, everything will be fine. We have collected some silver, not much, only fifteen taels. When Sandao wakes up, let him go first to redeem Sandao's wife, and we will pay the rest later."

When grandma heard this, she started crying and stood up with difficulty, wanting to kneel down and kowtow to them.

Just then, a familiar voice came from outside the door.

Grandma looked out the door excitedly, only to see Gou Wa running towards her.

Looking at Gou Wa, grandma seemed to have found an outlet for her emotions. She hugged him and cried bitterly, then beat and scolded him.

"You silly child, who told you to run out? Someone told you to go find the immortal and you really went. You know how dangerous it is out there? What if something happens to you?"

Gou Wa allowed his grandmother to beat and scold him, but instead of getting angry, he just grinned.

"Grandma, I will never go out again. I will stay at home with you."

The grandmother stopped and was about to be happy, but when she thought of her son lying motionless on the bed next to her, she was overwhelmed with grief again and cried, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault..."

Seeing this, Gou Wa asked hurriedly: "Grandma, what happened to Uncle Ma?"

The villagers nearby explained to him, and Gou Wa got angry when he heard it. He stood up and shouted, "That bully dared to take my aunt away! I'm going to fight him!"

As he spoke, Gou Wa jumped out. Others tried to stop him but failed. He ran away in the blink of an eye.
