Urban Debt Collector

The car swayed all the way, and Lu Tian slowly fell asleep listening to the conversation. After more than an hour, he finally came to his destination, Panlong Village.

Panlong Village, named after the towering mountain peaks, used to be scattered among the people, but after the national poverty alleviation policy, most people living in the mountains moved to the planned area.

Although it seems that they are living a happy life, they are even poorer than before.

Because when you live in the mountains, you can still raise some cattle and sheep as a living allowance, but after you live in the planning area, there will be no fields, no vegetable gardens, and no forests, so you have to buy everything.

Even the handy wood stoves that used to be used in the past are gone, and they have to be bought with gas. Many people have to rebuild earth stoves on the balcony, but this problem comes again, and you have to buy firewood!

So it seems that a series of measures to benefit the people have made life more difficult for the people.

When the immigrants were relocated, many people asked Lu Tian and his master to buy a house in the planning area, and they could get a two-bedroom apartment for a small amount of money, but the master refused.

Because the floor is too high, you can't go up and down, and you can't get up and down, and sitting in that small room all day is a torture for the elderly!

This kind of thing didn't just happen to Lu Tian and his master. Many old people felt the same way, but it was too late to go back because you had to demolish the original house because you enjoyed the state subsidy.

Thinking about it at this time, Lu Tian still admires his master a little bit. Although he lives in the mountains, there is heaven and earth, which is undoubtedly not a kind of enjoyment.

Looking at the whitewashed six-story high-rise building in the planning area, Lu Tian shook his head unconsciously. He used to feel that it was good to live in the town. Not only could it go to the market, but it was also much more convenient for shopping. Kind of torture in disguise.

"Master, do you go to the back mountain of Panlong Peak?" Lu Tian asked with a smile when he walked to a master driving a tricycle.

"Don't go, it's all deep in the mountains and old forests. The road is not easy to walk, so I need a car." The master said with a smile.

Nowadays, the people are wealthy, and there are many such tricycles, most of which are used by farmers at home, so everyone cherishes them. They are really unwilling to go to places with bad roads.

If Lu Tian had not carried a large bag, he would rather walk. At this time, he not only remembered the Taoist tools of the person in charge of the City God Temple, but also the treasure that could hold more things. If he had one, he would still use so many large and small bags on his back. NS?

After looking for more than a dozen tricycles in a row, someone finally said that they could send Lu Tian to the end of the cement road, which is halfway up the mountainside of Panlong Peak.

There is a farm on the hillside of Panlong Peak, which specializes in raising cattle and sheep. For precise poverty alleviation, the cement road leads to that place, and the dirt road up there is because there are few residents and the road construction is of no value.

Although it is only halfway up the mountain, it can be less for Lu Tian to walk, but it is still a long way from the place where the master lives, and this distance is also a big challenge for Lu Tian, ​​so he must go again. Find someone to help yourself with luggage.

In the past, Lu Tian and his master were living with a herder to help carry them up the mountain, so today Lu Tian wants to find each other again and ask him to help him up the mountain.

This herder used to be not far from where Lu Tian and the others lived and raised a lot of cattle. Later, after the national policy was adjusted, he moved from the mountains to live in the planned area of ​​the village.

But there was no field after he came to the village, so he had to go back to the mountain to plant some corn, so he became Lu Tian and the others' helper.

However, when Lu Tian found him, the herdsman froze for a long time before recognizing him.

"This... isn't this Lu Tian, ​​why are you back?" The other party first looked at Lu Tian, ​​and then he was a little surprised.

"Uncle Huang, your eyesight is so good, you can recognize me.

Today I want to trouble you to send me something up the mountain. I want to go back and see my master. "

While talking, Lu Tian took out a cigarette, handed one to the other party, and said with enthusiasm.

After listening to Lu Tian's words, Uncle Huang's expression slowly stiffened, looking extremely unnatural.

"Uncle, is there something you can't leave?" Lu Tian asked suspiciously.

Uncle Huang didn't answer, but lit the cigarette Lu Tian handed him, and then took a sigh of relief.

"My baby, I advise you not to go back, and you won't see your master when you go back." Uncle Huang said.

Lu Tian was slightly taken aback by the other party's remarks. He originally thought that there was something important in the other party's house that he couldn't get away.

"Uncle Huang, do you know that my master is out of the mountain?" Lu Tian crouched beside him and said.

It is also possible for the master to come out of the mountain, because many people will go to the mountain to invite him.

But the master’s eyes don’t work well right now, so even if he goes out of the mountain, he can’t watch the trend of the mountain without his eyes. The face of the person is basically half a waste, I’m afraid few people will invite him!

"Oh, since you are back, I will tell you the truth, your master is no longer there." Uncle Huang whispered.

After hearing what the other party said, Lu Tianru was struck by lightning, and he was completely stunned.

"Impossible, my master Yang has a long life, it is impossible to die so early." Lu Tianmeng stood up and said.

"It's true. Before the Chinese New Year last year, I sent him meat to the mountain. He was already dead, or I buried him." Uncle Huang looked at Lu Tian and said very seriously.

After hearing what the other party said, Lu Tian only felt dizzy in his head and his body shook unconsciously.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, my master will not die, he will not die, Uncle Huang, did you remember it wrong?" Lu Tian asked in a low voice.

Others don't know the master's strength, but Lu Tian knows very well that he is definitely not just an old man who can only look at Feng Shui in people's mouth.

"Lu Tian, ​​if someone tells me I won't believe it, but I buried it with my own hands, your master.

When I entered the house, he was dead, and..."

Speaking of this, Uncle Huang suddenly kept silent, seemingly taboo.

"And what, Uncle Huang, you must tell me clearly." Lu Tian grabbed the opponent's arm and said with a panic expression on his face.

Since he was a child, the master has been a towering mountain in Lu Tian's eyes. No matter what difficulties he encounters, as long as the opponent comes forward, he can always settle it, but now, that mountain has collapsed.

Tears flashed in Lu Tian's eyes. Although he was trying his best to restrain himself, tears still flowed outward.

Seeing Lu Tian like this, Uncle Huang put the unsold corn and Lu Tian’s luggage on the trolley and said, "This is not a place to talk. Go back to Uncle and give you a good chat."

After speaking, the other party pushed the car to lead the way, but Lu Tian was standing there, feeling his legs weighed as heavy as a kilogram and could not move a step.

Lu Tian couldn't believe it. If this matter was true, what would he do? Without his parents and now without the master, he would eventually become a homeless orphan.

"It's not true, it can't be true, the master won't die." Lu Tian muttered to himself, and then he walked behind Uncle Huang to the planning area as if absent.
