The clinic was vandalized and the bloody words "life for life" were shockingly visible on the door.

On the roof of the house opposite the clinic, the master and the disciple hid themselves and turned a blind eye to the tragic situation in the clinic.

Gu Sheng sat on the roof, raised his wrist lightly, and poured the wine in the jade gourd into his mouth. Some of the wine flowed down the corners of his mouth and sank into his collar. He wiped the corners of his lips with his thumb, and his lazy words seemed to be soaked in wine: "How do you think the patient died?"

Gu Ling and Gu Sheng stood back to back. The lazy master leaned against her as if he had no bones. Gu Ling supported her knees with her hands, and it felt like a mountain was pressing on her back.

Gu Ling moved his butt slightly and replied: "It's probably because he didn't listen to the doctor's advice, or he ate the wrong thing."

"No, it's other clinics that see our business is so good and are deliberately targeting us."

Gu Ling thought for a moment: "Is this 'jealousy'?"

"That's about right. Do you think Old Liu committed suicide or was he murdered?"

Old Man Liu was the patient who died.

If it was something that happened in other clinics, it must be homicide, but since Gu Sheng asked, it means it is not that simple.

During this period of time, Gu Ling observed other people all day long and guessed the motives of their actions. Now he reflexively began to sort out the relationships between the people involved in this matter.

There are government agencies in the human world, and ordinary people cannot take other people's lives at will. It is also not appropriate for a sensitive place like a clinic to be associated with human lives.

In order to both throw mud at Wanling Medical Clinic and remove oneself from the matter, the best way is to seduce people with benefits.

It just so happened that Old Liu's family was poor, he himself was suffering from a serious illness, and his entire family was poorly clothed and hungry. If the money given was enough, he might indeed agree.

"It was a premeditated suicide." Gu Ling said, "But why did Old Liu want to give up his life? He couldn't enjoy those benefits himself."

"For some people in this world, there are many things more important than their own lives."

Why is it more important than your own life? After you die, there will be nothing left.

"Master, is there anything more important than life?"

Gu Sheng raised his head and took a sip of wine, squinting his eyes at the boundless sky: "Yes."

"What is it?"

Gu Sheng sat up straight, turned around and rubbed the top of his little apprentice's head, smiling nonchalantly: "You will know later."

"A Ling, do you know what kind of identity in the human world can best feel the warmth and coldness of human nature?"

Before Gu Ling could ask any questions, he was kicked off the roof by his unscrupulous master. He only heard one sentence: "When you want to return to the fairyland, tell me and I will come to pick you up."

Gu Ling sat on the ground in a daze, looking up at the empty roof. Then he realized that his master seemed, probably, maybe, had run away alone.

Passersby looked at the little girl sitting in the middle of the road and felt a little strange: "Eh? Was this child just here?"

Another person was a little uncertain: "It seems to be here, but I may not have noticed it."

"Isn't this the child next to Doctor Gu? Where is Doctor Gu?"

"It really is."

"What doctor? He is a quack who kills people!"

Seeing people gradually gathering around, Gu Ling felt something was wrong. He got up and ran, relying on his thin and nimble body, and rushed out like an agile cat.

Wanling Medical Clinic is very famous. It is Gu Sheng who is famous, but the master and the apprentice are inseparable, and many people also know the little guy Gu Ling.

Now that something has happened, Wanling Clinic is being condemned by everyone. It's okay for Gu Sheng to run away, but it's hard for Gu Ling.

She was a nice girl who could get a lot of delicious food for free by being a little sweet-mouthed. But now, as soon as she showed up, people who knew the inside story came out to explain the happenings at Wanling Clinic. In order to avoid being caught and interrogated about Gu Sheng's whereabouts, Gu Ling hid and went to West Street.

The distance between the east and west is far. Although Wanling Clinic is famous, not many people here know Gu Ling.

After Gu Sheng left, she didn't tie her hair up, but tied a hairband around her wrist. Her clothes were still neat and clean, and she looked like a runaway child from someone's home.

Passing by a sesame cake stall, the aroma aroused her appetite. Gu Ling took out the small purse made by the Weaver Girl from her arms, took out a copper coin and bought a fragrant and hot sesame cake.

He lowered his head and took a bite. A black shadow flashed by and the pancake in his hand disappeared.

Gu Ling:?

Where's my cake?

This was the first time that Gu Ling encountered such a thing. She looked up and saw a ragged boy, about eleven or twelve years old. He snatched the things and ran away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Gu Ling was silent, and reached into his arms to buy another pancake, but...

? Where's my wallet?

Gu Ling was silent again.

On the first day after leaving his master, Gu Ling was robbed.

The world is cruel and people are vicious. How could he have the heart to kill such a lovely girl?

Gu Ling looked up at the uncle selling sesame cakes, looking pitiful, weak and innocent.

The uncle who witnessed everything felt sorry for her and kindly gave her a pancake and said, "Little girl, this place is very messy. It doesn't matter if you lost your money. You should go home quickly."

Gu Ling took the pancake: "Thank you, uncle."

It’s impossible to go home because Gu Ling hasn’t had enough fun yet.

Moreover, Gu Ling inexplicably cared about what Gu Sheng said about experiencing the fickleness of human nature. She felt that she could not go back, at least not now.

At night, Gu Ling was penniless and couldn't go back to the clinic. She thought about her situation and felt that she should be a beggar now.

Little beggar Gu walked to a remote place and found a dilapidated temple with many beggars inside. She nodded secretly, it seemed that she had found the right place.

Staring at dozens of pairs of burning eyes, Gu Ling walked in and sat down by the door. A group of beggars stood up and asked fiercely, "Hey! Where are you from? Go home!"

"I'm going to sleep here."

"There are people here, you are not allowed to sleep, get out!"

Do beggars also have homes? Are unauthorized outside beggars not allowed to live there?

Gu Ling felt that this was the case, so he stood up and walked out.

The tattered door was closed by the beggar. Gu Ling looked up at the sky. The moon was bright and it wouldn't rain tonight, so he decided to just find a place to stay.

Gu Ling curled herself up under the big tree at the gate of the dilapidated temple. With the moonlight pouring down and the breeze blowing, she seemed to have become the black stone on the Mountain of No Return again.

But, there are still some differences.

When she was at the Mountain of No Return, she watched the flowers bloom and fall, and the clouds roll and disperse. But now, as she looked at the bright moon and the lush grass, the person she was thinking of was her master.

What is Master doing now? Drinking and lying on the roadside like her?

Gu Sheng was better off than her. He stayed in the Wanling Palace's weapon refining room, tinkering with the little guy who had just returned.

The eggshell-shaped system emitted a faint glow, hovering in front of Gu Sheng, calling him affectionately:

"Owner."
