"Ha! Interesting! How much money does that person named Wang give you to make you so determined?"

"It's not much, just enough money to save my life."

This ordinary sentence, which weighs a thousand pounds, actually made the monster outside who could throw a stone slab over the wall silent for a moment.

"Life-saving money?"

Lin Jue gasped, his hands shaking slightly, and he fumbled to light the oil lamp next to him and said:

"My uncle was the first to save my life. Last year, I accidentally fell into the water by the river. Thanks to him, he took the risk and rescued me, so I survived for the second time. Later, he took over the responsibility of my father to provide me with food, clothing, and education.

"Lin Jue seemed to be explaining to the monsters outside, but also seemed to be explaining it to himself, providing himself with reasons and confidence.

Thinking of the uncle who was bedridden, suffered a lot, and even almost died, I gradually became more and more calm.

"Now he is suffering from a serious disease and his life is in danger, and he is waiting for this money to save his life.

"Mr. Wang is a well-known good man and a wise man. I don't think he will be greedy for my money. If I die, there may be compensation. Therefore, even if I die today, I have to die in this ancestral hall.

I should trade my life for the life of my uncle."

Every time Lin Jue spoke, his voice became calmer and more confident, and in the end he was even completely unafraid.

Don't talk about family ties, just talk about kindness, and that's how it should be.

As it should be.

So my hands stopped shaking.

He just held the hatchet tightly in his hand and stared outside, paying attention to any bricks, tiles, bluestones that might fly in.

"If you really want me to leave, why don't you come in and fight me head-on?"

"..."

There was stillness and silence outside.

I don't know what it is doing.

After a long time, I heard a sound.

"puff……"

Then there was no more movement outside.

I don't know how long it took.

Lin Jue was still leaning against the wall, constantly thinking about the strange things and spells he had just experienced, while quietly observing and waiting. No matter how sleepy he was, he did not want to fall asleep easily, and he did not dare to fall asleep easily.

It's just that I'm extra sleepy tonight.

In this world, most people fall asleep shortly after dark and wake up before dawn. Counting the time, it is almost time for people to wake up.

In addition, after staying up all night, I had used up too much energy fighting against the spells, and gradually my eyelids began to fight, and I couldn't control it no matter what.

Falling asleep is something that happens unconsciously.

After falling asleep, another dream comes.

There seems to be nothing in the dream, so there is a feeling of whiteness. But there is an abstract figure in the whiteness, which seems to be visible, but also seems invisible. I only know that he is there, and he is there, and he is still there.

When talking to myself, the voice is equally indescribable.

Most dreams seem to be like this.

"The Wang family has some tricks up their sleeves. I disturbed them so much that they had no peace and drove them away. Then they also found some people to come and make me have no peace and try to drive me away."

The figure said as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Who are you?"

Lin Jue asked aloud.

"Didn't you just spend the whole night with me?" the figure said with a smile.

"It's Your Excellency..."

The dream was really wonderful. Lin Jue didn't think this was a dream, nor did he think this was real. He didn't think about who the other person was or why he was here. He just talked to him calmly:

"Why are you here, Your Excellency?"

“It’s a long story…

"I lived here a long time ago. At that time, there was no such village here. Later, I left for a while for business, and the Wang family built a house here. But everything in the world is not privately owned by anyone, let alone me.

There was no mark, so at first I had no idea of ​​taking back my residence and occupying their house. But as I got older, I wanted to come back."

The figure paused as he spoke:

"In addition, the ancestors of this family are quite virtuous, and I feel comfortable living in this ancestral hall, so I tried to take it back."

Taking possession and returning at the same time is quite contradictory.

"Now the Wang family has found a lot of people. Although many of them are timid, they still make my stay uncomfortable. Plus I met you, so there are three of them. They stayed all night, which is really annoying.

"I don't think it's possible to live here for the rest of my life." The figure paused as he spoke, "I see that although your five qi are not as pure as those of a saint, they are not mixed. You are quite courageous at a young age and have a calm heart."

, it is really rare to have a filial heart, so I came to you in a dream and said: I will leave tomorrow. Can you tell the family named Wang, and maybe you can get some reward money in exchange for medicine stones to save your uncle's life?

.”

"Thank you very much, Your Excellency!"

Lin Jue said sincerely in the dream.

"It's your fault, not mine."

"I also have to thank you, Your Excellency."

"You actually know a lot about etiquette!"

"I've also read books."

"Reading is a good thing."

"Your Excellency just said that there are three of them including me. Who are they? I have only heard of one." Lin Jue obeyed his inner curiosity and naturally asked.

"You are one of them. There is also a butcher, an old master who teaches in Shucun." The figure also answered him, "The butcher is full of blood, and my breath is useless to him. After drinking wine, he will collapse when he gets here.

He slept as if he were dead, and I didn’t want to hurt him and kill him, and I couldn’t wake him up, so I had to let him succeed.”

"Old Master from Shucun?"

Lin Jue became interested. Wasn't this the teacher who taught him?

"Yes, that old master has no knowledge, but he has a strict nature and has never done any bad things in his life. This is very rare! Alas, many gods will retreat when they see such a person, let alone me.

What kind of goblin is this that has only a small way of doing things but no means?"

Lin Jue couldn't help but be stunned for a moment after hearing this.

This answer was beyond his expectation.

It was also at this time that he realized that this was not a ghost, but a monster.

"But isn't Mr. Wang also a well-known good man in the countryside and has done many good deeds?"

"He did some good deeds, but the truly kind-hearted ones were his ancestors. He was just from a wealthy family, so he continued the tradition of his ancestors and did some good deeds to gain fame for himself in exchange for benefits." The figure's voice paused.

After a while, he said, "This is not wrong, nor is it a bad thing, or even a good thing, so I never thought about hurting him or hitting him. However, it is still impossible for me to respect him so much because of this, and avoid him when things happen.

"

"It's actually like this..."

Before he could think deeply about the interestingness of this conversation, the dream quickly receded like mountain fog illuminated by the sun and blown away by the wind.

There is only one erratic sentence left at the end:

"Seeing that you understand etiquette well and respect me, I will give you one more word: I see that your soul is strong and unstable, and you need to take more care of yourself. It is best to find a way to rest your soul."

In a daze, people have woken up.

It's almost dawn.

He was still in the ancestral hall, leaning against the wall. There were still bricks and rubble around him, and a lot of white powder fell on the ground. His feet were pressed against the bluestone in front of him, and the traces on the floor tiles of the ancestral hall caused by the rolling and sliding of the bluestone were also faint.

It was vaguely visible under the light, but he was unscathed.

After Lin Jue was stunned, he suddenly got up and walked out.

Sure enough, it was almost dawn.

There are already roosters crowing outside.

I saw a figure about knee-high at the foot of the wall. It was difficult to tell whether the color was yellow or hemp in the dim light. I could only tell that he was standing and walking like a human being. He also had a bag on his back and disappeared in a flash.

Lin Jue was stunned again.

Then he came back to his senses, couldn't help but move in that direction, bowed his hands and bowed deeply.

I just frowned, and I was really confused--

What kind of world is this?
Chapter completed!
