The old housekeeper moved three chairs over for us to sit down. The old man kindly said to his senior brother, "Young man, do you know me?"

The Senior Martial Brother leisurely sipped some tea and smiled, "I don't know." The old man said, "Then why do you say it's an old acquaintance of mine, and that I'm not well?" The Senior Martial Brother said, "Old mister's surname is Gu, right?" The old man said, "Yes." The Senior Martial Brother said, "Old mister's name is Gu Junshan, right?" The old man said, "Yes, but how do you know about me?"

The Senior Martial Brother said, "My name is Ju Yi and I once had the privilege of meeting the old mister. My master Guan Long Lin brought me to attend Old Master He Pengju's birthday banquet and recommended you to me. Thinking about it, that was ten years ago." After a while, he said, "I remember you saying that, after all, he is old and his mind is not as sharp as yours. You are Guan Lao Da's disciple, I remember that Guan Lao Da brought two disciples with him for the birthday feast. One of them is you, and the other one is him, but..." Gu Junshan looked at me with a puzzled expression on his face.

Old Mr. Gu," the senior said, "this is my martial uncle's disciple. You're talking about Jue." Gu Junshan patted his head and said, "So that's how it is. Speaking of him, I have some friendship with your master. He's a capable man with a gentle personality. It's a pity that I'm a common man, and have no fate to befriend him.

The Senior Martial Brother said, "Old mister is too courteous." Gu Junshan asked, "How is your master recently?" The first senior brother said, "The master is in good health, but he can't relax even when he's old. He's always busy." Gu Junshan said, "What is he busy with? Forget it, I'm not the one asking. Nephew Zu, how do you know that there's something wrong with my body?"

The First Senior Brother said, "The three of us saw that blessed mage come to the manor, and he noticed your expression was bad, so we came in to take a look. Old Man Gu, if you trust me, let me take a look?" Gu Junshan's face lit up, "Well, of course I trust Brother Guan's disciple."

It's alright, Old Man Gu. You do have a small problem, but it's not a serious problem." Hearing this, a look of joy appeared on Gu Junshan's face, but his expression soon became downcast and he said, "Eldest nephew, I naturally believe what you said, but my body has been getting worse day by day lately. It doesn't seem like a small ailment.

The first senior brother asked, "What's wrong?" "It's been about a month," said Gu Junshan. "I went out to play that day, but I didn't feel anything was wrong, and when I came back, it was pretty good, too. That night, something was wrong, first I had nightmares, then I broke out in a cold sweat, and then I woke up in the middle of the night, and from then on it was bad. I was restless every day, I couldn't eat or drink, and I didn't know what was wrong with me, I couldn't sleep at night, and then I had nightmares."

After thinking for a moment, he said, "During that day, did you encounter anyone or something?" Gu Junshan tried hard to recall, "I don't think I met anyone. Oh right, I met a kid who sold turtles. I thought that turtle was very pleasing to the eye, so I bought one. It's still in the backyard right?"

I've only heard of a little boy selling newspapers. Think about it, a little boy carrying a huge bastard would ask anyone he saw on the way, "I'll buy a bastard, it'll be fun to watch him do it." This scene was not very beautiful.

Gu Junshan said, "It's said that the White Crane Turtle is a spiritual being that can prolong its life. Although I don't really believe it, at an age when I'm old, I have some ideas in this area, and seeing that child's turtle moving around in the basin with his head looking towards my direction, it's more or less intelligent, I liked it back then, so I bought it. It's not expensive, it's only 2,000 yuan, and it's nothing to raise it at home.

Who asked you how to raise a bastard, you're really too old and muddleheaded. Spending so much money to buy a bastard, and you're still saying it's not expensive? How good would that be if you gave me that money?

The senior brother laughed and said, "Mr. Gu, you may only think of it as a pet, but this pet is quite a few people, so what happened next?"

Gu Junshan said, "This tortoise brought me back a few days ago, so I was in bad shape. I didn't go to the backyard often, and I couldn't see it, so I thought it had nothing to do with the tortoise, but then my body got heavier and heavier, and I even struggled to walk, so I invited a doctor to my house to treat me, and the doctor just told me that I was not well rested, and my mind was a little weak, and I just prescribed some tranquil and calming soup, and I was able to sleep peacefully at night. But one night, I dreamt so much that I was chased by a person, and as I laughed, I woke up."

At this point, he seemed to have fallen into a terrifying memory. His face was gloomy and his mind was in a trance. Gu Junshan said, "Later... "Then I don't know, I can't tell if it was a dream or a real one, and ever since then I've been dreaming about that guy with the long neck, and it's no good taking any medicine.

The man with the long neck was terrifying just thinking about it, and I couldn't help but shiver. My senior sister said disapprovingly, "Mr. Gu, you're old and timid, right? If I ask you to put a kitchen knife under your pillow next time, who cares if he has a long neck or not, it would be a good idea to stab him with it."

I secretly laughed in my heart. Looking at this family's house, this Gu Junshan should have been a somewhat capable person when he was young, but he actually made my senior sister laugh in such a pitiful manner. It seems that even when people are old and weak, I still have some sympathy for this old man.

The Senior Martial Brother said, "Junior Martial Sister, don't cause trouble. Old Man Gu must have his troubles." I can't say that I'm a formidable person, but I've built up some businesses. All these years, I've felt that I'm getting old and my body is no longer of use, so I wanted to find a good successor so that my life wouldn't be affected by the flow of water, but my sons and daughters couldn't work hard, so when I thought of this, my illness got worse and worse. These children of mine didn't want to come and see me, they just wanted to have fun.

The first senior brother said, "Could it be the mage who prayed?" Gu Junshan nodded his head and said, "Yes, it is Master Joy. Don't say it, I feel that my body has improved a lot just by looking at him. Master has the ability to see through my problem with a glance, and it works quite well by pinching and pinching, and Master comes to treat me every day. I've just left not long ago, but you see, I can walk now and sleep much better at night, and Master said that I should be able to recover after another ten to fifteen days or even half a month."

Hearing his words, the senior brother said after a moment of silence, "I wonder if Old Man Gu can trust me." Gu Junshan said, "You are Brother Guan's disciple, I trust you."

The first senior brother said, "Then I'll be frank, it's not reliable, Old Man Gu better not see him in the future, or else he'll cheat me of my money and delay my illness."

"But he did look a lot better after he showed it to me," said Gu Junshan. The Senior Martial Brother said, "I'm afraid that even your illness is caused by him." "What do you mean?" "You are a smart person, so you should understand. However, I am only guessing, and I do not dare to make any conclusions."

Gu Junshan's expression was solemn as he lowered his head without saying a word, seeming to be deep in thought. The senior brother stood up and said, "The three of us will leave now. Old Man Gu take care of himself, we will come back tomorrow." Gu Junshan waved his hand, "The roads are slippery at night, let Jia Wen send you off." When Jia Wen saw us out, a man with a hurried expression entered the room. He greeted him and then, ignoring him, walked into the room.

I was wondering why this person was so rude. Jia Wen looked at us and looked at the person and said, "Don't blame him, this is our fourth young master. Because he is the youngest young master, the lord has always doted on him and he is the most filial of these young masters. Sigh, let's not talk about it. When I was young, I was just as righteous and righteous. Why would I grow up … Sigh, I'll send the three of you back. "

It seemed that Gu Junshan's sons did not let him worry. What was the use of saving so much money in his life? He did not even have anyone by his side when he became old. Fortunately, his youngest son had some knowledge and was considered to be the only person he could rely on.

We declined Jia Wen and went back by ourselves. On the way, the senior brother remained silent. I asked, "Senior brother, what are you thinking about?" The Senior Martial Brother said, "It's nothing. I just feel that Old Man Gu's illness is not a simple hysteria. I'm afraid there's something more to it."

I just saw that old man's face was a sallow yellow, his vital energy and blood were restless, the yang energy in his body was sinking, and the yin energy was rising, and I'm afraid that he has been contaminated with something unclean for some time. As he aged, his family members were few, and his family members were all ancient items.

The Senior Martial Brother smiled and said, "Junior Martial Sister's words are reasonable. I also found out that Old Man Gu is disturbed by the filth, and it's not too troublesome to clean up. I just want to have fun with Cui Xi …"

Indeed, even if it wasn't Pei Hong Du's group, they still wouldn't be able to escape responsibility. If Senior Brother helped Gu Junshan, it would be like snatching a bowl of rice for him, and it would be extremely troublesome if that happened.

"Tsk, I'm afraid they won't make it. It's fine if they come out, but it'll save us the trouble of searching for them." It was obvious that she wasn't an expert like Lu Tianhe. Even if she was with Pei Hong, she still wouldn't be one of the main characters, and at this moment, Pei Hong is in an intense conflict with Yuan Zuohai, he doesn't have the energy to care about this, if we can catch this, it would be considered as a meritorious deed.

Senior Martial Brother thought so too. Early the next morning, Senior Martial Brother and I went to the Gu Junshan house to keep an eye on him, hoping to catch him waiting.
