In Fengge City, that was also a family recognized by scholars. The family has a large collection of books, no less than a thousand volumes, which have been collected by the Zhuang family's ancestors for generations. There are four books and five classics, various sage classics, and great Confucian classics. There are collections of all kinds of books, such as music, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as some humanistic allusions, anecdotes and biographies. In order to obtain quantity, the dealer naturally spared no effort in collecting.
But if you don't have any, you want to collect a copy and keep it as a family heirloom. After all, there is nothing wrong and it is beneficial and harmless.
However, as his generation continued, things changed. For some reason, the elders in the family had accidents one after another and suffered misfortunes. His parents also suffered misfortunes. They died a few years ago, leaving him alone.
Oh no.
There is also a personal maid beside her, who was raised in the banker's house, which obviously means that a wealthy family trains a maid to serve as a common roommate. Their name is Su Mo, they grew up together, and they can be considered childhood sweethearts.
After the banker suffered a catastrophe, various industries also collapsed.
Although Zhuang Qiling was motivated, she suddenly got seriously ill for some unknown reason, and her heart kept feeling severe pain. It was too difficult to recover and could only be sustained with decoctions. Moreover, the decoction also requires some precious medicinal materials, such as ginseng and deer antlers, which are valuable. Even if the banker has a lot of savings, in this case.
Spending money is like running water, and there is no way to manage the business of various shops. They can only sell it at low prices in exchange for money.
After two or three years of this, the family has been in decline, and the wealth and wealth have been emptied out.
Except for those books, it can be said that the family is almost impoverished. The difficulty of it. You can totally feel it. I was also a bookworm in my previous life. Even if I was at the end of my rope, I still refused to give up the collection of books at home.
Without money, naturally, soups and medicines become a luxury.
The daily expenses at home were obtained by Su Mo going out to help others wash clothes.
The difficulties can be imagined.
As of now, all the dealer has left is the house in front of him. A little maid who is a childhood sweetheart. The money is less than one tael of silver, and the rice vat is not even half a bucket of rice.
It’s really miserable! awful! awful! !
This is not the worst thing. The worst thing is that Su Mo has disappeared since yesterday. He has no idea where he went. The only weird thing is that this morning, a mysterious package appeared in the room. It is now placed on the table and wrapped in black cloth.
He was certain that before this, there was absolutely nothing in the house.
The predecessor was that after waiting for a long time, there was no news about Su Mo, and he also suffered from heart disease, and eventually died frequently. When he was dying, his unwillingness and worry caused his true spirit to fluctuate violently, and then he was sensed by Mengdie. To connect the two worlds and replace others with my own self.
"Su Mo!!"
Zhuang Buzhou's eyes flickered and he murmured to himself.
Su Mo and her predecessor, childhood sweethearts, were never regarded as servants in the banker's house. They ate and lived together, almost as if they were in the same house. Moreover, Su Mo was a beautiful woman, born extremely clean, pure and pleasant. The surrounding areas are all famous.
The most important thing is his character. Even when the banker is in decline, he can still stick to it. How many people in the world can take care of the predecessor who has almost become a sick man?
Unwilling obsession before death.
One is worried about Su Mo's safety, and the other is unwilling to accept his fate.
He doesn't want to die, he wants to live.
Let's live a good life together with Su Mo.
This unwilling obsession was captured by Mengdie. Of course, the premise is that Zhuang Qiling himself is a self. Before he condenses the true spirit and realizes Daluo, all people with the same true spirit belong to him. The same him and me. It's just a matter of who is stronger and who is weaker.
Squeak! !
At this moment, there was a crisp sound of opening the door, followed by extremely soft footsteps.
Then, in the courtyard, there was the sound of a fire being lit, and bursts of medicinal fragrance came from the courtyard.
"Is it the smell of the soup from before? Su Mo is back."
Zhuang Buzhou sat on the bed and looked outside. The familiar scent of the medicine was completely engraved in his bones for his predecessor. It was the decoction he had been drinking for several years.
However, this decoction was too expensive and was discontinued some time ago.
No money.
can not afford.
A pair of decoctions costs at least ten taels of silver, and one is required every two or three days. The gold and silver mountains will also be emptied out, not to mention the daily supplements, which consume money like water. If the decoctions are stopped, the predecessor is in Waiting to die.
He knew the situation at home very well. If Su Mo came back, where would he get the money to buy medicine?
I pondered in my heart, all kinds of thoughts flickered, and many scary situations emerged in my mind.
"Master!!"
Soon, the door was pushed open, and a girl in a light blue dress walked in. From her face, you could see that she was thin and pale, with a vegetable complexion, and her petite body had the look of Xiaojiabiyu. Her temperament is delicate but also has a hint of strength. He held a bowl of steaming soup in his hand.
After seeing Zhuang Buzhou sitting up from the bed.
A flash of joy flashed in his eyes, and he quickly stepped forward and said: "Master, you're awake. Come on, drink the medicine. This is the medicine I just cooked. You vomited blood before. You must have another heart attack. Hurry up." Drink the decoction and everything will be fine."
The words were extremely gentle, and there was a hint of hope in the brows.
"Momo, where have you been these two days?"
"Why don't you go home?"
"Do you know that I'm worried about you?"
Zhuang Buzhou took a deep breath. When he saw Su Mo, he instinctively felt an impulse in his body and asked questions one after another. This is the question that the original person wants to know most.
When Su Mo heard this, her body started up, her face was stunned, and then she said with a warm smile: "Come, Master, drink the medicine first. After drinking, Momo will answer the Master's question."
"good!!"
Zhuang Buzhou took a deep look at her and reached out to take the bowl. He didn't ask for the candied fruit in Su Mo's hand. He opened his mouth and drank all the soup in the bowl. After drinking it, he immediately felt that his whole body was warm. My body feels full of energy.
The decoction inside contains precious medicinal materials, which is really a great tonic.
"Now that I've drunk the decoction, you should answer my question just now."
Zhuang Buzhou took a deep breath and said slowly.
When Su Mo heard this, there was silence on his face.
There was also silence in the house, and even the heartbeat could be heard clearly.
"Master, I want to get married."
Su Mo spoke after a long time.
"Marry? Okay!!"
Zhuang Buzhou's body trembled, his face expressionless, he opened his mouth and asked, "Do I know that good family?"
"You should have said earlier that it would be better to get married. Following the young master will only drag you down. As for the dowry, young master, I can't afford it for you. I can't help you."
There was no emotion in his voice, only a special kind of calmness.
"I am marrying far away. My husband's family is far away. I will leave early tomorrow morning."
"From now on, when Momo is no longer here, Master, you must take care of yourself. When I am no longer here, you must be well."
A forced smile appeared on Su Mo's face, but tears flashed in her eyes, but she resisted falling.
"..."
Zhuang Buzhou didn't say anything.
Nothing can be said.
"The package on the table contains the betrothal gift given by my husband's family. From now on, the young master will find a good girl to take care of you on my behalf. Momo can no longer take care of you." Su Mo glanced at the package on the table and said.
"That's the betrothal gift for you, so take it to your husband's family. I'm useless, young master. I can't give you more. If you go there with the betrothal gift, you won't let your husband's family despise you."
Zhuang Buzhou said slowly.
"Master, Momo is gone."
Su Mo did not touch the package on the table, but gave Zhuang Buzhou a deep look. This look seemed to completely imprint him in his mind, and then turned around and left, closing the door behind him. Faint cries could be heard.
"Su Mo had something wrong and didn't tell me the truth."
Zhuang Buzhou looked at the closed door, a strange color flashing in his eyes.
From her words and expressions, it has long been seen that what she just said was definitely insincere and not true. However, she did not understand the specific situation. If she wanted to say that, then just follow her words. There is no point in asking if you are trying to hide something.
"In the end, all of this must rely on one's own strength. Let's see how my body is doing first."
Zhuang Buzhou took a deep breath. Words could not change what was happening. In this case, only strength was the greatest reliance.
Creating the supreme method "Dream Butterfly" is of course not just the ability to travel through the heavens.
In Dream Butterfly, some of the essence of the secret technique of "Sky Star" is used. For example, the Heavenly Star Secret Technique can use the natal stars to borrow power from the ancient stars to obtain blessing increases. Let your combat power skyrocket and transform.
Dream Butterfly is the supreme method created by him.
The supreme supernatural power born with the help of "Guanren Sutra". Nature also has such ability.
Mengdie will use this deity as a guide and can directly draw on the power of this deity. However, this kind of power can only be accessed once a day, and it does not last long, about a quarter of an hour.
If the enemy cannot be eliminated within a quarter of an hour, then there is no other option but to escape.
It can be said that this is the last resort to save life.
It must not be used unless absolutely necessary.
After it is cast, you can only use it again after twenty-four hours.
This is really a day of charging and a moment of use.
Of course, this is for life-saving purposes.
In addition, Mengdie can quickly promote himself from an ordinary person to a monk through enlightenment. This is done with the help of another special ancient scripture called "The Star-Absorbing Demon Sutra" and "Dream Sutra". "Becoming a God", the fragments of "The Sutra of Devouring Immortals", etc. These are all quick methods. There is nothing more than being able to quickly plunder all the power from the outside world and quickly improve one's own cultivation power. In the early stage, it can be said to be an incomparable shortcut.
