Lookout Men and Widows

Elder Zhou looked at the young man named You Ming in front of him.

There is no evil in his eyes, but there is no righteousness either.

If he is still young, 20 years younger, he still has the strength to teach this young man and guide him to the right path.

But he no longer has that time.

At this age, people can do less and less.

Elder Zhou took a deep breath.

"I'm not going to take your life," he said.

You Ming stood in front of them.

Zhou Yuan looked at You Ming in a strange way. Is You Ming so tall?Has he always looked so indifferent?

"I know." You Ming nodded, calmly, "You want me to never use alchemy again."

Elder Zhou smiled: "I know it's not fair to you."

You Ming looked at Elder Zhou, who still had a kind expression on his face at this time, years had given him experience and wisdom, as well as fear and weakness towards the unknown.

It seems that young people are not afraid of death. The older a person is, the more afraid he is of the passing of time and his appearance.

"But I don't want to." You Ming said seriously, "I regard this as my career."

Elder Zhou: "You can find a new career."

You Ming shook his head, his tone was steady but very firm: "If one day I want to change my career, it must be because I want to change, not because I am forced by others."

Fingertip sword and fingertip fire are useless, all Mr. Zhou can rely on now is mouth cannon.

But You Ming didn't intend to keep talking to him.

That's such a waste of time.

"Yuntong, let's go." You Ming turned around, and the evil spirit behind him gradually became smaller and returned to its previous size, jumping from his back onto You Ming's shoulder.

Only the grandparents of the Zhou family stood there and watched You Ming leave, but there was nothing they could do.

It was also the first time that Zhou Yuan clearly discovered how big the gap between himself and You Ming was, as big as a crown of heaven and earth walking on earth.

From the time he came into contact with alchemy, everyone said he was a genius, and he really deserved the title of genius.

But he wasn't sure now.

If he is considered a genius, what is You Ming?

Zhou Yuan fell into self-doubt.

Elder Zhou sighed, "If he does good, it's a good thing, but if he does evil, who can stop him?"

You Ming had already driven away.

They couldn't even see the tail of the car standing here.

Zhou Yuan's eyes were complicated: "What can we do?"

Elder Zhou sighed again: "It seems that we can only live here first, since we can't restrict him, we can only observe first."

Although he didn't know what they could do if You Ming was really evil.

Sitting in the car, You Ming stared ahead.

Yun Tong said in an almost provocative tone: "Their self-righteous celestial masters owe a lesson to them, thinking that they are the best in the world and want to take care of everything. You should teach them more lessons just now and let them know what they are. How many catties and taels."

You Ming: "And then?"

Yun Tong was taken aback for a moment, not understanding what You Ming meant.

You Ming's tone was very cold: "Do you want me to kill them?"

Yuntong didn't dare to speak.

You Ming: "You hate humans very much."

"But you were human before."

Yuntong: "I used to be a human, but that was a long time ago. I have only been a human for eight years, but I have been a ghost for more than 2000 years."

He no longer remembered what it was like to be human.

The memory of being a human is not very good.

You Ming asked him, "How did you die?"

Yuntong was silent for a while before saying: "At that time, my family was very poor. It seemed that there were many brothers and sisters. I couldn't get enough to eat every day, bark and grass roots. I ate whatever I had. Later, my father...that man fell and broke a leg. , the landlord took the cattle and the land away, and they sold me."

"I don't seem to be the first to be sold, but certainly not the last."

In the 100 years just after his death, he stayed by his former family, but not because he was reluctant, but because he wanted to see what would happen to them, to see what would happen if they sold their sons and daughters.

Even if the poor families in the village sell their daughters, they are sent to rich families as slaves. Although it is a contract of sale, there is always hope.

But in order to sell more money, his parents only told Ren Yazi to sell it anywhere.

"He died soon after being sold." Yuntong didn't go on to say more carefully, he skipped that paragraph.

His parents were still poor in the end, and they regarded selling children as a business. The man was crippled and couldn't do heavy work. He found that selling children was a good business for money, so he kept giving birth, selling them when they were older, and letting the younger ones Bigger belt.

Anyway, it’s for sale, so you don’t have to take good care of it, as long as you don’t starve to death.

As for the money, almost all of it was squandered, and it can't be counted as squandering. After all, he didn't work, and he had to pay for food, clothes, food, and oil.

Because his mother was always giving birth, she died of dystocia in the end.

Then the man bought another daughter-in-law, continued to have children, and continued to sell.

Later, he couldn't give birth, so he asked his wife to find a man in the village.

When he was lying on the bed waiting to die, his wife ran away with someone, and Yuntong stayed by his side in the last days.

Seeing that he was left unattended, he was clearly alive, but rotted like a corpse.

The girls were all sold to kilns, and the good-looking boys were sold to rich families as actors.

Yuntong was sold to a rich family and played to death by the young master of that family. He didn't understand what he did wrong until his death.

After becoming a ghost, he had more time to think, and only then did he realize that his fault was that he was born.

That being the case, there is no need to reincarnate, it is better to be a human than a ghost.

After that man died, his soul had to pass through the gate of hell. Yuntong watched him walk into the gate of hell and walk up the bridge of Naihe.

He didn't do it, and now he doesn't understand why he didn't do it then.

It may be that the man loved him when he was a child, secretly saved a few copper coins, and bought him a sesame seed cake.

She also hugged him and told Yuntong that she would earn more money and send Yuntong to a private school so that she would not have to dig in the ground for food in the future.

Afterwards, Yuntong started to wander, he was full of hatred, but he didn't know where to vent it.

That hatred swallowed him whole, and sometimes he still wondered if he should go find that man's reincarnation.

He thought about it and looked for it, but unfortunately he couldn't find it.

Who knows what that man will be reincarnated into in this life.

Is it pigs, dogs, cows and horses, or insects and birds?or people?

There are too many, where can I find them?

Yun Tong sat in the back seat of the car, You Ming played music, and a piece of piano music sounded in the car.

Gentle and soothing, Yuntong closed her eyes and fell asleep after closing them.

After having a human body, it seems to be no different from a human being.

I also have appetites and need rest.

Although it is fake, countless ghosts flock to it, wanting such a body.

As soon as You Ming arrived home, he opened the door and walked in. He heard talking and laughing inside. There were guests at home, and Mother You was chatting with someone.

Mother You's laughter echoed in the room.

In fact, she doesn't have many friends, and the rich wives who used to come and go have less contact now.

It should be a good friend who can bring her home.

You Ming walked to the living room, ready to say hello to the guests, which seemed polite.

But as soon as You Ming walked over, Mother You stood up and said with a smile on her face, "You guys chat first, I'll go and see how the food preparations are going."

She also turned her head and said to the people sitting there: "You must come down to eat tonight!"

After Mama You finished speaking, she rushed to the kitchen.

Only You Ming was left standing where he was, and Yun Tong was still standing behind him, and Mother You hadn't seen Yun Tong just now.

Maybe it's too short and blocked by You Ming.

Sitting on the sofa is Yang Rongbao. There is also a bald man sitting next to Yang Rongbao. It is hard to tell whether he is a middle-aged man or an old man. Because he has no hair and is fat, the wrinkles on his face are flattened by fat. People who look like forty or fifty years old look like they are five or sixty years old at a second glance.

You Ming felt that if he was older, it would be better if he was a little fatter, so that he would look younger and his wrinkles would be less obvious.

"Master, this is the You Ming I told you about." Yang Rongbao was very excited, feeling a little proud, "It's amazing!"

Then he turned his head and said to You Ming: "This is my master, you can call him Uncle Zheng, he is here to see you."

You Ming thought of Mr. Zhou who probably came to see him specially.

He looked a little helpless.

It is too troublesome not to be able to replay what just happened.

Uncle Zheng smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, with a shrewd light in his eyes.

He wore a suit, but he didn't look like a successful person, but more like the kind of boss who sold fake goods, with an "I'm taking bad water everywhere" look.

"Master Zheng." You Ming greeted first.

Yuntong stretched out his head and glanced at Uncle Zheng, probably thinking that this man's head is very interesting, so he took a few more glances.

Uncle Zheng has no hair, so the shape of his head is obvious. His head is different from that of normal people. It is taller and the top of the head is more pointed.

"Don't be so polite, what is your name Master Zheng." Uncle Zheng waved his hand and said with a smile, "Come, come, come and sit."

You Ming sat over, and Uncle Zheng looked at You Ming's face very affectionately. He was looking at You Ming's face, and whispered softly, as if You Ming were a baby, and asked, "Let me see your palmistry."

You Ming spread out his hand again to show him.

After reading it, Uncle Zheng said to Yang Rongbao: "Sure enough, it's just like what you said. He was weak and sick since he was a child, and he died young when he was young."

Yang Rongbao nodded quickly: "I just said that I didn't lie, but you just said that I lied to you."

Uncle Zheng coughed lightly: "What you said is so fantastic, it's fine if I didn't spit on you."

Uncle Zheng looked at You Ming with a smile again, still looking like he was bubbling, and said in a deceptive tone, "Have you been a teacher?"

You Ming looked at Uncle Zheng with doubts in his eyes.

Could it be that Uncle Zheng couldn't see his own problems?

Or did he see it and still want to accept himself as an apprentice?

"Did that guy named Zhou come to you?" Uncle Zheng had an expression of "I know everything", and when he mentioned Mr. Zhou, his tone was contemptuous, "It's like that in their family, they learned it at home, and the skills outside In their eyes, it is a pheasant technique, and no one can look down on it."

"When I first became famous in the early years, their family even came to trouble me, saying that I saw evil spirits doing crooked ways."

Uncle Zheng smiled and said: "I can tell from your expression that his family must have looked for you. Don't worry, their house is full of thunder and rain, and who doesn't know their family in Guangzhou? sharp."

You Ming: "Have you been sought out before?"

Uncle Zheng nodded, not as if he was talking to a junior, but more like chatting with his peers: "I was only in my teens at that time, and I had just graduated from the teacher. Old man Zhou, his father and grandfather were still alive, and three generations of my family came to see me. People who say that I am a wild and unscrupulous person will definitely do bad things in the future."

"At that time, I was not afraid of tigers when I was a newborn calf. I just did it, and I ran away if it was serious." Uncle Zheng said with a smile, "Old man Zhou's behavior was the same as now. I was a little stronger than him, and his father came to beat me. .”

"And then I ran away."

Uncle Zheng patted his thigh: "If I hadn't run fast, I might not be able to do this job now."

Yang Rongbao asked curiously beside him: "Master, you haven't told me about this, why do they say you are not upright?"

Uncle Zheng's eyes widened: "Their family wants to pick customers, but I never pick them. They charge low fees, but I charge high fees."

"I'm also a gentleman who loves money and gets it in a proper way. Although I charge high fees, I am serious and responsible and have a good service attitude. The customer said that if he was not afraid that the social situation would not allow it, he would send me a pennant!"

Yang Rongbao: "Choose a guest?"

Uncle Zheng: "That's right, there are a few in their family who won't pick up. Within three generations, they won't pick up those who commit crimes, those with a bad reputation, those who have committed many crimes, and those who are rude to others."

"Anyway, if you want to invite people from his family to do something, you have to pretend to be a grandson."

You Ming thought for a while: "A few of them still make sense."

Uncle Zheng smiled: "You're still too young, you don't know, three generations of criminals committed crimes, if grandpa was arrested because of conflicts with others, even if he only spent two days in prison, the grandson would not pick them up if he came to them, Besides reputation, reputation is uncertain.”

"Like Pan Jinlian, she was a woman from a good family in history. She was a lady, and she had a very good relationship with her husband. Because she offended a literati, after being arranged, her husband had to resign and take her to settle in the countryside. You don’t know how to inquire carefully, and just asking casually will give you a certain sex.”

"Let's talk about those who do a lot of evil, this one shouldn't be accepted, and I haven't accepted it either!"

"Be rude to others, as long as you don't do bad things, you are not bad people, they just like others to be grandchildren in front of them."

You Ming said, "You hate them very much."

Uncle Zheng still had the same smiling face: "I hate it, I can't like it."

You Ming: "I see."

Uncle Zheng said: "Although there is an evil spirit in your body, and there are evil spirits around you, but your eyes are clear and there is no black energy around you. You are on the right path, so I think you are a potential stock. If you want Don't ask me to study under my door?"

"I have seen a lot of people. I have dealt with people from all walks of life, from all walks of life, and I have never lost my eye when I see people."

Uncle Zheng said: "Let's talk about Xiaobao. How old was he when I met him, and he was fighting with other little dolls. Didn't I accept him as an apprentice?"

You Ming thought for a while: "I need to think about it."

Uncle Zheng waved his hand: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, you should think about it, after all, apprenticeship is also a big deal."

Although Uncle Zheng and Elder Zhou are both celestial masters, but in detail, their social classes are different, and they have different perspectives on people and things, and the methods of handling them are of course very different.

You Ming doesn't think Mr. Zhou and the others are bad, and he doesn't think Uncle Zheng is so good.

People do things from their own point of view, so it's not good or bad.

After You's mother came out of the kitchen, she found that You Ming had brought back a child.

Yuntong's appearance can still fool people. He is the kind of kid that almost all parents like. He is good-looking, sensible and polite.

Mother You has no ability to resist the child, and she was depressed for a long time when Li Qing was sent away.

Recently, I have been paying attention to whether anyone has adopted Li Qing.

She even discussed with You Ming and Papa You, or else their family would adopt Li Qing.

You Ming has no objection, but Papa You is not very willing. Papa You likes children, but he only likes his own children.

So Mother You is still paying attention to Li Qing's situation, sometimes she will go to see Li Qing with You Ming, and pay attention to his life in the orphanage.

However, there are many families applying for adoption, and the orphanage is still investigating, so it depends on what Li Qing wants.

You Ming introduced Yuntong as his friend's younger brother, and Mother You asked Yuntong's name without asking any further questions.

Yuntong is very good at pretending to be obedient, and Mother You can answer whatever she asks, which is completely different from before.

During the meal, Father You also came back. Recently, the company has too many orders. He is so busy that he is willing to smile. No matter what he is doing, he reveals a cheerful atmosphere. Today, when a guest comes, he even brings out the white wine he has collected , called Uncle Zheng brothers and sisters, and said that he would not rest until he was drunk.

The two masters and apprentices are very good at talking, Yang Rongbao looks silly, but in this respect, he is in the same line as his master, and they are very good at communicating with people. Mama You liked Yang Rongbao very much before, and she was amused by Yang Rongbao at the dinner table. stop.

After dinner, Uncle Zheng and the others left.

"If you've thought it over, send us a message." Uncle Zheng still had that smiley look on his stomach.

You Ming said: "But I will stay in the provincial capital and will not go to other places."

His parents are getting older, and Dad Jiang and the others are not young anymore.

There is also Jiang Yu'an, he is not going to settle down in other cities, or wandering without a fixed place.

Uncle Zheng: "I know, Xiaobao told me, it's nothing, anyway, I'm running around now."

"It's a big deal to buy a house here for the elderly."

Yang Rongbao said sourly, "Why don't I get this treatment?"

Uncle Zheng said confidently: "I've been taking care of you for more than ten years, what do you want me to do to you? Calling you Sheng Xiaobao, you really think you are a baby? Do you want me to feed you?"

Yang Rongbao: "If you insist on feeding, I will not refuse. I will feed you when you are too old to walk."

Uncle Zheng's eyes widened: "Go ahead and dream, I'm in good health, and I won't grow old when you get old."

Men, don't be old!

Seventy-eighty years old is also in the prime of life!

You Ming sent them to the gate of the community.

It was already dark, and the day was over. You Ming felt tired at this time. He went home and lay down on the bed after taking a shower. He didn't want to read books or mobile phones. He closed his eyes and brewed for sleep.

But he couldn't fall asleep, and what Old Zhou said kept ringing in his mind.

Said he was bound to go astray.

He always thought that what he was learning was magic, but it was actually witchcraft.

He thought he was an ordinary person, but in fact half of him was a ghost, and it was Jiang Yu'an who forcibly extended his life.

You Ming tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

It wasn't until Jiang Yu'an came back that You Ming didn't sleep either, but he didn't open his eyes. After Jiang Yu'an lay beside him, he turned over and hugged Jiang Yu'an, buried his head in Jiang Yu'an's chest, feeling Jiang Yu'an's chest muscles.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Yu'an touched the back of You Ming's head with his hand, and said in a gentle tone, "I'm in a bad mood? What happened?"

You Ming's voice was muffled: "It's nothing."

I don't know why, before Jiang Yu'an didn't come, he only felt annoying and uncomfortable, but after Jiang Yu'an came, he actually felt that slight... grievance?

He had never done anything bad, nor had any evil thoughts.

But just like that, people regard him as a crooked demon who is bound to do bad things.

He is uncomfortable.

But what the other party said was not completely unreasonable.

So these emotions cannot be vented.

Jiang Yu'an lowered his head and kissed You Ming's forehead: "I'll let Yuntong come over, and I'll ask him."

You Ming: "You don't need to ask."

He knew that Yun Tong would definitely not hide it from Jiang Yu'an.

I just told about the day's events, but it was very brief, and I didn't say that Zhou's grandson used fingertip swords and fingertip fire to deal with him.

Zhou Yuan's attitude certainly made him sad, but it was just a pity that he lost a friend who could discuss and chat.

Jiang Yu'an held You Ming's hand, as gently as treating a wounded baby: "They don't understand you."

You Ming nodded: "I know, so I'm not very angry."

People prefer to believe what they see with their own eyes.

When there is no emotion, listen to your own reason.

Jiang Yuan said again: "Don't worry about them, they won't come to disturb your life."

His eyelids were drooped, so that his darkening gaze could not be seen.

You Ming leaned on Jiang Yu'an's shoulder, and closed his eyes tiredly: "Maybe what he said is right."

Jiang Yu'an's hands froze, and his lips were tightly pursed. It seemed that there was a monstrous anger brewing, and it only needed an introduction to spew out.

But You Ming said again: "But the road of life and future is mine."

You Ming suddenly laughed, he raised his head and kissed Jiang Yu'an's lips.

The lips and teeth of the two were connected, and the kiss was inseparable. You Ming didn't want to sleep anymore. It was the first time that he actively hooked Jiang Yu'an's shoulder and sat on Jiang Yu'an's lap.

You Ming's face was flushed, but his eyes were burning like fire.

"I want to prove him wrong." You Ming raised his head, and he smiled at Jiang Yu'an.

That smile was full of confidence, without any hesitation or panic.

Jiang Yu'an was fascinated by it, his gaze was attracted by You Ming, even if the flood was raging outside at this time, he would not move away.

You Ming leaned down again: "As long as you are here..."

He repeated this sentence with lingering lips and teeth: "As long as you are here."

As long as you are here, I can overcome obstacles.

As long as you are here, I will not allow myself to go astray.

As long as you are here, I can go on unswervingly.

Jiang Yu'an was so shocked by You Ming's amazing words of love that he couldn't speak a word.

He always thought that he was escorting You Ming.

In fact, it is not, it is You Ming's existence that has always supported his soul.
