Although his wife and children tried their best to obstruct it, Dashan was finally cremated by the villagers together, and Wu Rui presided over the whole process.

Facing the resentful gazes of Dashan's wife and children, Wu Rui declined the warm hospitality of the villagers and continued walking eastward.

If he stays here, he will only feel guilty and uneasy. In a sense, he killed the three villagers including Dashan, especially the death of Dashan. Wu Rui still vividly remembers the pleading and despairing eyes at that time. head.

Although he knew that his choice was right and rational, Wu Rui remained silent in the face of a living life.

"Perhaps the old man is right. Staying in the Shennong clinic is just a temporary blessing, but can't achieve the purpose of experience. Although he has mastered the plane clinic and has a middle-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, which is comparable to the strength of the out-of-body stage, but in the face of life , there are always many regrets and dissatisfaction.”[

"But that's the only way to understand the true meaning of life, isn't it?" Wu Rui looked up at the sky, as if he was talking to himself, and also seemed to be asking the sky.

Before that, Wu Rui actually had some resistance to the arrangement of Shennong XVI. After all, he had his own preferences and freedom, but now, he has completely put aside this prejudice and truly fulfilled this experience.

The appearance of the witch corpse this time gave Wu Rui a lot of inspiration and insight, and also brought a more solid foundation for his way. For his realm, it is undoubtedly a reborn marrow.

Due to the influence of the witch corpse, it took seven or eight days to walk, but now it takes one more day to arrive, and Jiangning City is just around the corner.

"Jiangning, Guzhen, No. 287?" Wu Rui raised his eyebrows slightly. He originally wanted to buy a map, but suddenly remembered that he was penniless now.

Then Wu Rui wanted to turn on the smart brain on his wrist, but stopped when he put his hand on it. Since he wanted to experience life well, such things should be abandoned temporarily, and find another way!

After walking for a while, Wu Rui saw a newsstand in front of him. Inside, a middle-aged man with glasses was reading a newspaper. After thinking about it, he walked over and asked, "Uncle, do you have a map of Jiangning?"

"Huh?" The uncle put down the newspaper. Although he saw that Wu Rui was dressed a little 'plainly', he still enthusiastically took out a colored map from it, handed it to Wu Rui, and said, "Young man, here, eight One dollar a piece."

"Thank you." Wu Rui took it, opened it and glanced at it for a while, and after jotting down the content, he raised his head and asked, "Uncle, can I not buy it?"

"..." The uncle's face was very stinky at the moment, but he couldn't buy and sell by force, so he could only reply dryly: "Yes!"

Wu Rui returned the map resentfully, and then walked towards the ancient town along the route indicated by the map.

In fact, there is no town called Guzhen on the map, but according to some of the above attractions, such as Guzhen Park, Guzhen Bell Tower, etc., Wu Rui can easily conclude that the former Guzhen has been renamed Guqu and has been included in the urban area of ​​Jiangning. one.

Walking into the ancient area, Wu Rui can't see the charm of "ancient" at all. On the contrary, there are high-rise buildings everywhere. The streets and buildings in the past must have been replaced in the relocation and renovation. Everything in the past has long been Unrecognizable.

"Perhaps, the so-called number 287 is no longer there." Wu Rui's voice was low, but he continued to search for the order of the house numbers.

But to Wu Rui's surprise, the central area of ​​the ancient area still retains the architecture of the Republic of China. It is a whole courtyard with red walls and red doors. It has been renovated and is one of the major scenic spots in Jiangning.

"number 320."

"Number three hundred."

"number 290."

There was only one step away from the destination, but Wu Rui never showed any big fluctuations in expression, and he stopped in front of No. 280 No. [-] compound with a calm expression. [

But it is a pity that the No. 280 No. [-] compound is no longer a private house, but has been converted into a small souvenir shop, which is filled with wood carvings, embroidery and some small gadgets with local characteristics. At this time, there are two or three Tourists are picking things up.

The boss is a woman in her 50s or [-]s. Years have left wrinkles on her face, and her skin is slightly dark. It can be seen that she is not from a wealthy family, let alone Wu Rui's biological mother.

The handkerchief that the old man handed to Wu Rui was made of precious silk, which was not something that ordinary people could have. Therefore, Wu Rui guessed that his parents should not be ordinary people.

More importantly, Wu Rui did not sense the blood of his relatives in this woman, which completely denied the possibility that she was his relatives.

"Young man, do you want to buy some souvenirs? Our woodcarvings are the best in the ancient town." Seeing Wu Rui walk in, the woman greeted her warmly and tried her best to sell her own woodcarvings.

"...Auntie, please be busy, I'll just take a look." Wu Rui prevaricated, casually looking at the wood carving in front of him, it was indeed not bad.

Although it is not lifelike, it is also novel and interesting. It is good to buy two as a gift when traveling, or to keep it as a souvenir for yourself. Just this charm is not comparable to those exquisite mechanical products.

"Okay, take a look, just let me know if you like it, and I'll give you a cheap price." The aunt was still enthusiastic.

Wu Rui nodded with a smile, and then casually asked: "Ma'am, how long have you been doing business here?"

"It's been five years. Since the ancient town was listed as a place of interest, I have rented this compound to sell souvenirs, but the rent is too high, so I can barely make ends meet." The aunt replied with a sigh, lamenting the passage of time, and lamenting life at the same time not easy.

"Who is the owner of this compound?" Wu Rui continued to ask.

"..." Hearing Wu Rui ask this, the aunt felt strange. It is common for tourists to ask about the business for a few years, but it is the first time to ask who is the owner of the house. Could it be that they also want to rent a compound?

Pry yourself?That's worth it!Especially when she thought that the five-year contract she signed was about to expire, the aunt's face became even more vigilant.

When Wu Rui saw the situation, he didn't know that the other party had misunderstood. He explained dumbfoundingly: "Don't get me wrong, ma'am, I have some past events that I want to find the owner of this compound, and I hope ma'am can help me get in touch."

"Really?" The aunt was skeptical, but still cautious: "The owner is very busy, if you have anything to tell me, I will tell it for you first."

Although this shop can barely make ends meet, it is a livelihood after all, what can an old lady do without her?Besides, there was still a family to take care of, so she couldn't help being careless, and at the same time secretly decided that in order to avoid complications, she should renew the contract as soon as possible.

"This..." Wu Rui wanted to cry, but up to now he could only tell the truth. He took out the handkerchief from the storage ring with the help of his pocket and said, "This compound may be related to my life experience, so I still have to tell you the truth." Please help me to contact the owner of the compound, I just want to ask him some past events."

"No. 287, Jiangning Ancient Town, this is the right place." The aunt also felt that she had misunderstood, she scratched her head in embarrassment, and then returned the handkerchief to Wu Rui: "I'm sorry, young man, I misunderstood you... The owner is a superior An old single old man who is not very mobile, so don’t bother her to come here, and I really can’t leave now, so I can only give you an address to look for, and if you can’t find it, you can call me.”

The aunt got a pen and paper and wrote Wu Rui an address, and wrote her phone number on the back.

"Thank you ma'am, I'll go now, goodbye." Wu Rui thanked him and left. If he had known this earlier, he would have asked straight away why there were so many twists and turns.

The residence of the owner of the compound is not far from the ancient town. It is a new city. Although there are no high-rise buildings, it is a stretch of villas. It can be seen that the aborigines in the ancient town have become rich.

"Ding dong ding dong!" Wu Rui rang the doorbells of 23 villas. [

"Who are you? Who are you looking for?" The inner door was opened, and a middle-aged woman dressed as a nanny appeared in front of her eyes, but she did not open the safety door outside. When she looked at Wu Rui, she also had a bit of vigilance in her eyes .

There are quite a few people who come to visit the old lady on weekdays, but all of them are dressed luxuriously. It is rare to see someone as poor as Wu Rui, so she couldn't help but be careless.

Wu Rui didn't care about this at all, and said with a calm smile, "I came to see Mrs. Bai Xiuzhen to ask about a past event 20 years ago. You give her this handkerchief, and I believe she can remember something. "

"..." Although the nanny felt strange, it was not her business. She took the handkerchief and walked in mutteringly. After opening the door, he signaled, "The old lady let you in."
