Uncle Jiu's Senior Brother

As soon as the sun rose, Lu Li was awakened by the sound of giggling.

When I opened the door, I saw that the old foreigner Wencai and Hua Ling were playing in the yard.

It can be seen that the three of them were in a good mood because they were going down the mountain.

Seeing Lu Li standing at the door with sleepy eyes, Wencai said with a smile: "Big Brother, you are up! Come and eat.

After we finish eating, we can go out.”

Lu Li now has doubts about whether the sudden decision he made yesterday was the right one.

This made me unable to even get a full night's sleep.

But you have to finish the path you choose even if you have to kneel.

After returning to my room, washing up and changing my clothes, I felt refreshed and no longer sleepy.

The old foreigner served him and Uncle Jiu some white porridge and placed it on the table. Only then did Lu Li realize why Uncle Jiu hadn't come out yet?

Wencai walked cautiously to Uncle Jiu's door and was about to knock when the door opened with a click, and Uncle Jiu appeared at the door wearing a brand new gown.

Lu Li and the others all laughed at once.

“Sure, Master, you’ve dressed yourself up handsomely.

People who know you are going out would think you are going out, while those who don’t would think you are going on a blind date.

Wencai, don’t you think so? "

Lu Li teased Uncle Jiu while drinking his porridge.

Wencai continued, "Of course you are. You are dressed so nicely. Who would believe you if you said you were not going on a blind date?"

Uncle Jiu hit Wencai on the head, and he held his head and rubbed it hard because of the pain.

"You guys are the ones who talk too much, why don't you eat quickly?

You're not in a hurry to get down the mountain, are you? "

Lu Li and the other three quickly turned around to eat and no longer dared to tease Uncle Jiu.

Seeing this, Uncle Jiu nodded with satisfaction and sat down at the table.

After breakfast, the five of them headed straight down the mountain.

The benefits of the Absorption Talisman were demonstrated this time.

No need to carry so many things in large and small bags.

There is a hint of coolness in the morning air.

Although these people are all people with cultivation, they don't care as much about cold and heat as ordinary people.

But this kind of weather also makes them feel very relaxed.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Uncle Jiu identified the direction and headed towards the road leading to Guangzhou.

Lu Li initially wanted to hire a carriage, but was rejected by Uncle Jiu.

Several people originally came out to experience and have fun.

What's the point of riding in a carriage all the way?

So this time I can only walk back to Renjia Town.

This made Lu Li, who hadn't walked a long distance for a long time, a little uncomfortable.

It always feels like it's very slow.

Wencai and the other two were very happy, shouting and yelling at everything they saw on the road.

It was obvious that the child was feeling depressed after not coming down the mountain for so long.

With their joining, Lu Li's mood improved.

When I have nothing to do, I chat with Uncle Jiu in the back. The five masters and apprentices really look like they are traveling in the future.

It's evening.

The five people finally arrived at a small town.

I saw an inn with a clean facade.

Lu Li chose to live here with his uncle Jiu and the others.

While waiting for the food to be served, Lu Li pointed to the lobby of the inn and said to Uncle Jiu:

"Master, does this place look familiar?"

Uncle Jiu looked around in surprise.

"Well, a little bit."

"Haha, when we first came to the mountain to ascend the talisman, we passed by this place and stayed at this inn."

Uncle Jiu was even more surprised this time, and memories slowly emerged.

"Really? I had completely forgotten about it. It's rare that you still remember it.

It seems like such a long time has passed in the blink of an eye.”

Lu Li was fine, he even went back to Renjia Town two or three times.

I only went back once, but that time I stayed there for a short time before returning to the mountains.

I haven't been able to sit down with my old friends.

I don't know if there have been any changes in the town.

In the evening, the five people stayed here for the night.

After walking around and playing for half a month, Uncle Jiu and his friends finally arrived in Guangzhou.

We will soon reach the provincial capital.

That day we passed a place called Qianjia Town.

The town in front of me seems to be about the same level of prosperity as Renjia Town.

Uncle Jiu became interested.

No matter what, I have to stay here for half a day.

Have lunch before leaving.

Lu Li couldn't persuade him and had to agree.

The old foreigner Hua Ling and the others had no objection, and they saw that Partridge Whistle was not in a hurry.

The five people just sat down in the restaurant.

Then I heard a few people dressed like wealthy men at the table next to me say:

"You didn't see how tragically the Liu family's second daughter died.

The tongue stuck out so long and the ground was covered with filth.

It was just hung on the beam of the main house."

Another person said, "Come to think of it, this is the first time."

"The third!"

The rich man who had just spoken stretched out three fingers and gestured.

One of them had a look of pity on his face.

"What a sin! A good daughter has to become a widow.

Is that place so easy to get into?

Don't you even look at the situation!"

"Master, what does it mean to be a widow?"

Wencai turned around and asked Uncle Jiu in a low voice.

"Do you know what Yin Pei is? It's a ghost marriage, but it's different from Yin Pei in that they have to be buried together.

A widow of a wealthy family is when a man and a woman get engaged but the man dies before they get married.

The woman became a widow because of this.”

Uncle Jiu said doubtfully.

In theory, a widowhood occurs when the man dies after the engagement, so there is only one person.

Why do I listen to what those people said just now?

There are actually three.

"Alas! We are all poor. Marrying off a daughter is actually almost the same as selling her."

The people at that table were still sighing.

At this moment, the street suddenly became lively.

Everyone in the restaurant leaned over the window to watch.

Lu Li's table was right next to the window on the second floor, so when he and Uncle Jiu looked down they saw a long funeral procession appearing on the street.

The leader was a wealthy old man.

On both sides were people holding white sails.

There was also a large coffin covered with white cloth in the middle of the team.

People on both sides of the road were pointing and talking about something.

When the team reached the bottom of the restaurant.

Lu Li and Uncle Jiu's expressions changed.

It was already noon.

But the coffin was emitting a strong negative energy.

Both of them are in the Jindan stage, and it has become normal for them to have their Dharma Eyes open.

The gray and gloomy energy floated into the air in their eyes before gradually dissipating.

"Master!"

Lu Li looked at Uncle Jiu and called out.

Uncle Jiu didn't reply but just nodded.

Lu Li asked the three old foreigners to have dinner here, and then went to the inn opposite to book a few rooms.

Pack another meal.

He and Uncle Jiu followed the funeral procession.

The team did not walk slowly. They left the town and headed west amidst the music and dance.

The two followed closely behind, but didn't get too close for fear of being noticed.

Slowly, a barren mountain appeared in front of the two.

The mountain is densely covered with trees and is now green.

The funeral procession finally stopped at an open space on the top of the mountain.

There was only one grave on the open space, and the soil looked quite new.

The guy next to him said something to the leading old man.

The old man nodded.

Seven or eight young men came forward and started digging the new grave.

Seeing this, Lu Li and Uncle Jiu in the back also knew that they were going to be buried together.

Soon the new grave was dug and everyone placed the coffin inside.

Afterwards, they filled the hole with soil, and did not hold any sacrificial ceremony, nor did they hire a fortune teller to perform a ritual.

Uncle Jiu calculated with his fingers and decided that this was not an auspicious time.

It felt like this family did it in a hurry, with the sole purpose of burying the coffins together.

The old man over there scattered a few handfuls of paper money and ordered people to burn some more paper money.

He then led his men down the mountain.

Uncle Jiu and Lu Li came to the grave at this time.

I saw on the tombstone that it was written, Tomb of beloved son Qian Li, who died three months ago.

The one established by my father Qian Wang should be that old man.
