Longevity, starting from raising chickens

Chapter 31 Go!
"Uncle Qi, this brother Wang is coming to see you."

Wang Ba's arrival seemed to have disturbed the entire courtyard. He could see the windows of several rooms being carefully pushed open a crack, and behind the crack were nervous and frightened eyes.

He couldn't help but secretly sighed.

It's hard to imagine that this is a family that once had an outer sect disciple.

A member of the Lu family led Wang Ba into a wing room in a somewhat cramped second courtyard.

As soon as I entered the door, there was a strong and choking herbal smell.

Looking at the skinny old man lying on the bed with his eyes closed, Wang Ba couldn't connect him with the shopkeeper Lu in Xiyuanfang City who had a funny conversation and a unique way of dealing with people.

But in just over a month, how could there be such a big change?
He couldn't help casting doubtful glances at the Lu family members beside him.

The eyes of this haggard-looking middle-aged man were full of sadness:
"The second uncle of Dafang is not behind, the fifth and sixth uncles can't accept it, they all fell ill all of a sudden, and the seventh uncle can only take charge of the overall situation. He didn't hit hard, but Uncle Qi is a mortal after all, how could he stand up to it..."

As he spoke, the corners of his eyes were already red.

Obviously, the ups and downs of more than a month have already destroyed his psychological defense.

Wang Ba was also slightly silent when he heard the words.

And the shopkeeper Lu on the sickbed seemed to hear the movement, his eyelids slowly opened, and he struggled to match the figure in front of him with the person in his memory. After a while, a trace of surprise and complexity appeared on his thin face:

"Wang, brother Wang... you are here?"

That short sentence seems to have consumed a lot of his strength.

He was still struggling to sit up, but the middle-aged man quickly stepped forward and supported him.

And Wang Ba also stepped forward and supported his extremely thin arm, which was like a reed, held in his hand, empty.

But shopkeeper Lu grabbed Wang Ba's hand.

Emotionally moved:

"You can come... I never expected it!"

Feeling the weak power transmitted from the opponent's palm like a chicken's claw, Wang Ba forced a smile: "Shopkeeper, I'm a regular customer of yours. If you're not in the store, why don't I come over and have a look!"

"Yes, yes, it's a pity...you asked me to buy rare chickens, but I couldn't do it..."

Shopkeeper Lu sat up straight, a smile finally appeared on his face, and he seemed to have regained some energy.

"It doesn't matter, I will come to buy from you in the future."

Wang Ba comforted with a smile.

"Then I have to butcher...to treat the guests."

Shopkeeper Lu forced himself to joke.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Shopkeeper Lu noticed the bamboo basket at Wang Ba's feet at this moment, and looked at Wang Ba suspiciously.

"This is……"

"I'm a chicken farmer. What can I do with you? Naturally, I'm selling chickens."

Wang Ba smiled.

"Sell chicken?"

Shopkeeper Lu was stunned, and before he could speak, the middle-aged man beside him couldn't help showing embarrassment: "Brother Wang... We have changed shops now..."

But shopkeeper Lu gave him a glare, and interrupted directly: "We changed the shop, we...cough...we also started as merchants, we must not forget our duty!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Wang Ba, and said apologetically, "Brother Wang came to sell the chicken to me, that is to think highly of me, but now the family has indeed encountered difficulties, and now... the market price of rare chickens has soared, I am afraid It's hard to give Brother Wang a high price..."

"It's okay."

Wang Ba smiled: "100 taels of silver is fine, and ten spirit stones are fine."

"Ten spirit stones?!"

The middle-aged man on the side almost screamed out.

What rare chicken is worth ten spirit stones!

Didn't this person come to take advantage of the fire?

Shopkeeper Lu didn't think so, but just felt a little strange. After thinking about it, he directly told the middle-aged man:

"An Wu, go, go and fetch five-point spirit stones."

"Brother Wang, I'm afraid you can't buy a rare male chicken with a five-point spirit stone, but it's just...it's the limit of the family's ability to use spirit stones."

Shopkeeper Lu's eyes were a little sad.

He used to be able to pass dozens of hundreds of spirit stones in one day.

Now that only five points of spirit stones make him stretched, how can he not make him feel uncomfortable.

"Seventh uncle... this... our spirit stone..."

The middle-aged man Lu Anwu showed a look of embarrassment.

"Cough... what I said is useless?"

Shopkeeper Lu turned his head and stared.

Although Lu Anwu was in pain, he still carefully supported the other person on the head of the bed, turned and left.

After a while, Lu Anwu held a five-point spirit stone and brought it to Wang Ba.

Wang Ba accepted it calmly.

The middle-aged man showed fear, but he still endured it.

Until he picked up the bamboo basket and saw the guy inside, he couldn't help but exclaim.

"This...is a spirit chicken!"

Shopkeeper Lu was taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately looked at the opened bamboo basket.

I saw a big rooster with a strong physique and a very high spirit, looking around, full of air.

"This... Brother Wang, you can't do it!"

When we got here, shopkeeper Lu still didn't know about Wang Ba's kindness.

It's just to take care of my own face and sell it cheaply on purpose.

"Don't need to say too much, shopkeeper. This is a deposit. If you still have rare chickens in the future, remember to sell them to me."

Wang Ba smiled.

Lu Anwu couldn't help persuading him, "Uncle Qi... with this spirit chicken, both Uncle Fifth and Uncle Six will be saved."

Shopkeeper Lu, who wanted to decline, was speechless.

Hesitating slightly, he said softly, "An Wu, go and see your fifth and sixth uncles."

Although he didn't understand why Uncle Seven wanted to dismiss him, Lu Anwu obediently left.

In the room filled with the smell of medicine, only shopkeeper Lu and Wang Ba were left.

Shopkeeper Lu whispered, "Brother Wang, please check to see if there is anyone outside."

Wang Ba was a little puzzled, but he still walked to the door and looked around carefully.

Then he looked at shopkeeper Lu and shook his head slightly.

Shopkeeper Lu breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately asked Wang Ba to step forward.

Come over with your ears.

Just said one word lightly:

"go!"

……

Walking through the feces-filled Nanhu Village, Wang Ba couldn't help but recall the words of shopkeeper Lu just now.

"Is there going to be a big change in the sect?"

"The shopkeeper Lu seems to know something, but he dare not say it."

"Just let me try my best to leave the sect."

"In the end, what is the reason that makes him so urgent? Even fear?"

"What kind of accident, in Lu shopkeeper's opinion, will it affect a handyman like me?"

"Besides, why would the Lu family prefer to stay in Nanhu Village, knowing that there will be a big change, and not want to leave?"

"Do you want to take a risk, or do you have something to hide?"

Wang Ba's heart was full of doubts.

He came here just because he was grateful for the kindness that shopkeeper Lu had given him in the past, so he made a special visit to visit, and even helped him, which is considered as benevolent and worthy of his heart.

Unexpectedly, he unexpectedly got a warning from Shopkeeper Lu.

In this regard, he is not too suspicious.

After all, there was absolutely no need for the other party to lie to him.

But in his heart, he didn't want to leave the sect.

It's not about how loyal he is to the sect. In fact, as a handyman, it's hard for him to have a good impression of the sect.

But here, despite the risk of exposure, it's generally safe.

As long as he follows the rules, does not exceed the rules, and is not bad luck, he can live a good life.

And despite the recent soaring prices, they can always provide rare chickens and other cultivation materials that are extremely difficult to buy in the outside world.

After leaving the sect, it is too difficult for him as a mortal to obtain so many resources.

Even if he could go to the market where scattered cultivators gathered, he would probably be dismembered with his hind legs while he brought the spirit chicken in.

Even if it is blinded by the power of Yin God, it is difficult.

Not to mention, outside the sect, there seemed to be a group of people staring at him because of the "Yin Shen Da Meng Jing".

If this group of people really existed, with the ruthlessness they have been following Mr. Sun for 50 years, it is hard to guarantee that they will not attack him again.

In short, in Wang Ba's opinion, staying in the Zongmen's wretched development is the most ideal way.

However, after receiving the warning from shopkeeper Lu, he still couldn't help being shaken in his heart.

Go or stay?
This is a problem!
Passing through Nanhu Village, the strong stench was finally left behind.

Looking at the greenery and the blue lake of Nanhufang City in the distance, he felt a little better.

Then, he heard a cold voice from behind.

"Your name is Wang Ba?"
