Chapter 153 Fatty

Chapter 153 Fatty

I don't know if they unfollowed him. I only know that when I met Fatty's parents with Pang Jiuyun, Fatty's mother cried sadly. Fatty's father glanced at her, said a few words, and looked a little unhappy. In the end, he told people to take good care of them.

He looked at Pang Jiuyun after unfollowing him, and Pang Jiuyun shook his head at him.

Only after leaving the Lei family and unfollowing them did I realize that the Lei family were well-known local gentry.

He was extremely wealthy.

The Lei family had many children, and Fatty wasn't his father's favorite. However, from birth, Fatty always brought good fortune to the Lei family, and Master Lei believed this son was blessed. Therefore, even though Fatty wasn't favored, he and his mother lived a comfortable life in the Lei family.

That's why the fat guy is always an optimist and always says he's lucky.

I don't strive or seek anything, but I've always been this way since I was little.

Later, when the fat man came of age, he suddenly said he wanted to join the Kunlun Sect.

Fatty is used to a life of luxury at home, why would he want to go to the Kunlun Sect?

Naturally, someone instigated it.

Master Lei also disagreed; he wanted to keep his son by his side to ensure his own good fortune.

Nobody wants their mascot to leave.

The fat man wasn't stupid. From the moment his older brother started urging him to go to the Kunlun Sect, he knew that his half-brother wouldn't tolerate him.

He was at a loss as his elder brother and father were locked in a power struggle, and he didn't want to offend either of them.

But for the fat man's brother, even though his father said he didn't like this son, the fat man was just too lucky. The brother was afraid that one day his father would have a moment of madness and help the fat man get promoted for his own good fortune, so the fat man had to leave.

The elder brother threatened their mother, saying that the fat man was just his aunt's child, at most a lucky charm in his father's heart. How could he fight against the son born to his legal wife?

And so, the fat man left home with Pan Cha.

The Lei family was incredibly wealthy; they donated a considerable amount of money to get Fatty to join the Kunlun Sect.

The Kunlun Sect is the largest sect in the world, but even the largest sect needs money to survive.

And so, the fat man arrived at Kunlun and became a disciple of Kunlun.

There are two types of Kunlun disciples: one is like him and his senior brother Jiuyun; the other is like the fat guy.

He finally understood why the fat man was initially unwilling to improve himself, but later he dragged him into morning runs. In fact, the fat man wanted to change, and he was changing.

But then a serious illness struck...

I unfollowed her and wiped away my tears.

A man doesn't easily shed tears, but this man is fat!

The fat guy I've lived with for so long!

What a fine fat man!

She would secretly slip him a steamed bun when he was punished by not getting dinner; she would also secretly bring him a blanket when he was made to face the wall; the fat guy was his brother...

After unfollowing him, he sat in Lei Family Garden, wiping away tears from time to time and looking up at the sky from time to time, for the entire night.

The next morning, several doctors suddenly arrived.

I heard the fat guy might not make it...

Unfollowing someone feels like being slashed by a heavy weapon.

When I went to see the fat man, his eyes were sunken, but he seemed more energetic than before; it was a sign of a final burst of energy before death.

He took a deep breath, put on a smile, and said, "Hey, Fatty, you really feel better when you're home. Stay home and relax. Senior Brother Jiuyun and I will stay with you. We'll go with you whenever you feel better. We're waiting for you!"

Pang Jiuyun looked at him, and the fat man also looked over at Pang Jiuyun. Pang Jiuyun nodded gently.

The fat man laughed and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Jiuyun, Lao Qu."

Pang Jiuyun lowered his head.

In everyone's eyes, he has always been the most gentle and kind fellow disciple in the Kunlun Sect. He is kind to everyone and is well-liked by the elders. He is tactful and reliable in his dealings with others.

Right now, he can't say many things in front of Fatty, and he avoids many things, but the one who really stands up for him is the one who unfollows him.

"Fatty, what do you want to eat? Your mom said she'll make it for you." (The user then looked at Fatty's mother.)

The fat man's mother wiped away her tears: "Want some steamed buns?"

The fat man laughed happily: "Meat buns! Meat buns! My mom's meat buns are so delicious! Much better than the meat buns in Kunlun Kitchen, you guys have to try them!"

Unfollowed and nodded: "I've been craving it for so long."

The fat man chuckled; at that moment, he was genuinely happy.

But because of the physical exertion, he coughed twice.

He quickly said, "Lie down, lie down, let's lie down and wait for the steamed buns..."

Later, Pang Jiuyun left the room, leaving only one person, who had unfollowed him, behind.

Pang Jiuyun sat on the stone steps outside the door, silent. In such a situation, only someone with a strong mentality could remain inside. He might as well unfollow...

Lost in thought, the door opened, and he ran toward her.

His heart tightened.

He whispered, "Senior brother, go to the market and buy some meat buns. The buns need to rise and ferment. Even if Fatty's mother is fast, she can't catch up. Let's prepare some."

Pang Jiuyun suddenly realized, "Okay."

Before leaving, Pang Jiuyun looked back at the room one last time.

Fatty is lucky to have friends who unfollow him...

When Pang Jiuyun returned, there was crying both inside and outside the house. Pang Jiuyun's hand trembled, and the steamed buns he had just bought fell to the ground.

When he rushed into the house, the fat woman was already hugging him and crying uncontrollably.

Beside me is a sad unfollower.

His eyes and the tip of his nose were red, and he couldn't speak.

Pang Jiuyun was right at the door when he heard Master Lei sigh heavily: "Why did you have to go to the Kunlun Sect for no reason!"

His son died in the house, and Master Lei flicked his sleeves and left.

Almost instantly, Pang Jiuyun instinctively reached out and grabbed the sleeve of the unfollower.

Sure enough, the person who unfollowed him had bloodshot eyes and was filled with anger.

If Pang Jiuyun had acted any later, he probably would have already started beating up Lei Yuanwai.

“Ah Guan.” Pang Jiuyun shook his head softly.

Looking at him with red eyes, Pang Jiuyun knew he was upset, but she also knew that he needed to vent his emotions, but not here.

...

The misty rain of winter felt biting cold on my face.

Winter here is unlike that in the Kunlun Mountains.

Unfollowing reminded me of when it snowed in the Kunlun Mountains, the fat guy was jumping around in the snow, having a snowball fight. Even when he got hit, he wasn't angry. Instead, he would laugh and say, "The fat guy is so nice, it doesn't hurt when he gets hit."

Several people carried the coffin.

Both "unfollowing" and Pang Jiuyun were among them.

Unaware of any local taboo, in the end, Guan and Pang Jiuyun walked at the front of the coffin-carrying party.

"Fatty, let's be brothers again in the next life." Unfollowing couldn't help but tear up again, picked up a shovel, and scooped a handful of soil towards the coffin.

...

The journey back to Kunlun felt incredibly long.

When he left Kunlun, Fatty was too sick to get up, but the person who had unfollowed him kept him company and talked to him, just like when Fatty was covered in wounds, eating fish with him and riding in an oxcart, and trying different ways to talk to him.

He remained silent when the fat man slept.

The fat guy woke up and immediately switched to an incredibly cheerful demeanor: "Hey, Fatty, guess where we are! We're close to home!"

Pang Jiuyun smiled gently and said, "While you were sleeping, we walked for a long time. We're really close now."

"I miss my mother," the fat man said happily.

On their way back, there was no carriage. Qu Guan and Pang Jiuyun rode horses from dusk till dawn, from the depths of winter to the beginning of spring, gradually emerging from the gloom that followed Fatty's departure.

"All good things must come to an end, and we, this group of people, will eventually part ways," Pang Jiuyun said wistfully on horseback.

He rode his horse towards the setting sun, saying, "I want to stay in Kunlun forever, and I want to protect what my master entrusted to me."

Pang Jiuyun looked at him.

As Pang Jiuyun reached out to unfollow, their fists met.

On this final journey to send the fat man off, Pang Jiuyun and I, having unfollowed each other, became the most tacit brothers and friends...

*

"Senior Brother Jiuyun!"

"Unfollow, senior!"

"You're back?"

At the outer gate at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, several disciples on duty surrounded them. They had been away for several months and had returned to Kunlun Mountain in the spring.

Even in early spring, the air is still chilly.

One of them was rubbing his hands because they were so cold.

She unfollowed him, took off her cloak, and threw it to him.

The junior apprentice smiled and accepted it, saying, "Thank you for unfollowing, senior."

Pang Jiuyun also laughed.

The longer you get to know this person, the more people like him. He didn't understand why the sect leader chose Guan as a disciple before, but now he knows. If he were to take on disciples in the future, he might prefer someone like Guan, who is talented, to a talented one.

"After you finish speaking to the sect leader, take a good rest. You must be tired from your journey." The Grand Elder patted the two on the shoulders.

"Yes, Elder." / "Yes, Master."

As the two headed towards the sect leader's residence, they greeted the other disciples.

I've been trying to unfollow you for ages, and you're still looking around everywhere.

"What's wrong?" Pang Jiuyun asked him.

He hissed softly, "Strange. Fu Jin is usually the one who loves watching the excitement the most. Whenever one of his fellow disciples comes back from outside, he comes back too. We've been gone for so long, and we've been settling Fatty in. Why hasn't he come to ask about us?"

Pang Jiuyun hadn't thought about it before, but after being unfollowed, he was puzzled: "I didn't see Fu Jin."

"Did they go on a mission or go down the mountain?" Pang Jiuyun guessed.

The person who unfollowed nodded: "Probably, otherwise why would they have come? We didn't give them any advance notice of when they would arrive, so they'll probably appear later."

Pang Jiuyun smiled.

Upon reaching the door of the sect leader's living quarters, he cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Master, I'm back!"

The distinctive sound of unfollowing was extremely penetrating. Soon, Tan Huisheng opened the door, and Pang Jiuyun greeted him, "Junior Uncle."

Wei Leng unfollowed me because she smelled a familiar medicinal scent.

Junior Uncle glanced at him, and the two exchanged a knowing look. Then he said to him and Pang Jiuyun, "It's good that you're back. Senior Brother was just talking about the two of you. He wondered where you were on the road and why you didn't send a letter back."

He unfollowed the account because he was thinking about eating fish, "thinking that he wouldn't disturb his master and the elders."

Junior Uncle nodded: "Go in. Your master has been a bit tired these past few days, so don't talk for too long."

Pang Jiuyun and unfollowing should be correct.

Just as the two were about to enter, their junior uncle called out, "Ah Guan."

He stepped forward and asked, "Junior Uncle?"

Junior Uncle patted him on the shoulder and said gently, "I know you and Fatty are close. My condolences."

He swallowed lightly and said, "I understand, Junior Uncle."

"There's one more thing. After you've seen your senior brother, come find me at the pharmacy," Junior Uncle instructed.

"Okay." He unfollowed her.

Tan Huisheng watched the two of them enter, looked around again, and then turned and slowly left.

*

Inside the living room, he looked at the fish eater with some concern.

Master appeared perfectly fine when he was injured, but only his junior uncle and he knew the truth.

Right now, Senior Brother Jiuyun might not be able to detect this familiar medicinal scent, but he knows it.

Pang Jiuyun recounted the journey back to Fatty, Fatty's final days, and the events at Fatty's home, including carrying Fatty's coffin and burial.

Pang Jiuyun handled things very well, saying everything he needed to say without causing too much distress, allowing for both mourning and closure.

Chi Yu nodded: "Lei Shi was lively. Among you fellow disciples, I was impressed by him. It's a pity."

Pang Jiuyun and the person who unfollowed both bowed their heads.

Chiyu knew that Quguan and Fatty were close friends. He had also seen them jogging together in the Kunlun Mountains during winter. Fatty was panting heavily, and Quguan ran backwards to lead him, telling him not to give up on Fatty.

Chi Yu said gently, "Go tell Elder Pan Shi; he's worried about you."

Lei Shi is Pan Shi's disciple. He is going back to the Kunlun Sect. He will first go to the sect leader, and then he will go to Elder Pan Shi's place.

Pang Jiuyun cupped his hands and said, "This disciple will go."

They deliberately set aside time for the master and his apprentice to talk.

"This disciple takes his leave." Pang Jiuyun bid farewell, and then the door creaked shut behind him.

He stepped forward and asked, "Why are you injured again?"

I'm worried about unfollowing.

Since the fat man's accident, the unfollower has developed a deeper fear and worry about these things, especially since the medicinal fragrance in the master's room is even stronger than before he left.

Before he left Kunlun, his master had suffered internal injuries for two or three months. It was winter then, and now it's spring, so it's been more than half a year. He had tested the Fishing True Qi technique and there were no problems. Even if there were some deviations, with his master's martial arts skills, he shouldn't have been injured for so long.

Eating Fish smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you before? I was stabbed twice when I was young, and the old injury has never healed. I haven't used it all these years, so it's been alright. I thought it was just a minor injury, but the force didn't go away for a while."

“Huisheng has been watching me closely, telling me to rest and recuperate. In the past few months, I haven’t touched the fishing energy; it’s an old injury,” Chiyu said confidently.

The meaning of "unfollow" is unclear.

"There's one more thing," the fish-eating man suddenly said.

Watching him eat fish, the subtle changes in his facial expression made me have a bad feeling.

He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but it was just a gut feeling.

Sure enough, Chi Yu said, "Fu Jin has left Kunlun."

Fu Jin?

I unfollowed them thinking I misheard.

But soon, he remembered that Fu Jin hadn't appeared when he and Senior Brother Jiuyun returned.

Although Fu Jin was usually spoiled, she had a good relationship with Fatty. When Fatty contracted a strange illness, Fu Jin cried several times.

When he and Senior Brother Jiuyun escorted Fatty home, Fu Jin secretly followed them down the mountain, all the way to the village at the foot of the mountain, and then out of the village, until he felt that the road was no longer safe.

Fu Jin had secretly run away by herself again.

He told Fu Jin to hurry back, but Fu Jin kept turning back to look at him. He, Fatty, and Pang Jiuyun waited until they were sure he had returned to the village at the foot of the mountain before the three of them left.

“He was at the foot of the mountain before…” Qu Guan suddenly worried that it might have been an accident at that time, but Chi Yu shook his head: “No, he left Kunlun secretly.”

"Sneak away?" The unfollower asked in surprise, "Why?"

Among them, Fu Jin was the most hardworking. Although Fu Jin's skills were not as good as his other fellow disciples, he was well-read and obsessed with martial arts manuals. Feng Zhong Pavilion had a large collection of books, and Fu Jin came to Kunlun for Feng Zhong Pavilion.

Moreover, I had previously told him that we should make a good effort so that when we were together with him and Senior Brother Jiuyun, we could go to the sixth floor of the Wind Pavilion to see the books.

Fu Jin won't leave secretly...

Other carriages were passing by on the official road, and they all stopped at Bazhenlou to give way.

Wang Sumo held the reins in one hand and rested his chin on the other: "Jinniang is a very smart person. She has been disguised as a man in Kunlun Mountain for so long without being discovered. She wouldn't have left secretly for no reason. Besides, she is so close to you, and she knew that you were the one who took Fatty away. She shouldn't have done that."

"Did something happen to her?" Wang Sumo asked worriedly.

But then she thought, "No, old man, He Laozhuang and you weren't..." She didn't quite say the word "rival in love," but she implied that He Laozhuang, Jinniang, and the old man had been together later.

That old man must have seen Jinniang again after that.

There's another story after Jinniang left Kunlun Mountain...

They were both girls. Judging from the old man's recollections, Jinniang must have liked him, but the old man couldn't quite grasp it back then.

But why did Jinniang secretly leave the Kunlun Sect at that time?

That doesn't make sense...

"Then when you met Jinniang later, she asked you why you secretly left Kunlun Mountain back then?"

Wang Sumo truthfully stated, "The fat man had just gotten into trouble, and then Senior Fish-Eating's old injuries flared up again. Right after that, Jinniang suddenly and secretly left the Kunlun Sect..."

She always felt that there was something connected to everything, and the fact that they both used the word "secretly" to leave indicated that they couldn't leave openly or honestly...

[Author's Note]

See you this afternoon
