Li Zhuiyuan raised his head and looked at the desk, lamp, and the fifth volume of "Jianghu Zhi Wei Lu" that had just turned a few pages.
Yes, he was asleep; But he knew that this was not a dream.
He didn't understand why the old lady would choose to "let go" of herself at the last moment.
He didn't want to use the word "save" because it was she who pulled himself into this birthday banquet.
Perhaps, it is difficult to describe her with the simple labeling of "good" and "evil", just as she herself is a combination of the corpse of a human and a cat, which is a manifestation of complex contradictions.
Li Zhuyuan closed his eyes and pressed his fingers on both sides of his temples and kneaded them slowly.
When he was in school in Beijing, he always felt that he was walking on a one-way street, no matter how dense the traffic was, as long as he went down this road.
But after returning to his hometown, he found that although the roads in his hometown were very narrow, often with potholes, and there were not many cars and people, this kind of ridge road in all directions between the rice fields often made him fall into confusion about his choices.
He himself could feel the changes that had happened to him in the days since he returned to his hometown, especially since he met the little oriole.
He is observing harder, pondering more seriously, talking more carefully, and dealing with inhuman beings...... It's really not easy, because there is no tolerance for error.
In short, I am now less and less like a ten-year-old child.
How simple it used to be a child.
Suddenly, Li Zhuyuan opened his eyes, and there was shock in his eyes.
self
Why do you think this way?
What does it mean how simple it was to be a child before, but I was obviously a child?
He began to feel flustered and fearful, and unconsciously held himself with his hands.
At this moment, what came to his mind was actually the picture of his mother looking in the mirror every morning after getting up when he was a child.
Mom was taking a deep breath in the mirror, trying to suppress something again and again, as if it would break through the skin.
Li Zhuyuan got up and walked to the closet, where there was a mirror in the middle of the cabinet door.
He looked at himself in the mirror and suddenly felt a little strange.
Raise your hand to touch the mirror and your face in the mirror.
He began to wonder what kind of person was under this dough.
He didn't dare to think about it anymore, he turned around, kept breathing deeply, and in his heart, he told himself over and over again that he was Li Chaiyuan, he was ten years old this year, his grandfather was called Li Weihan, his grandmother was called Cui Guiying, and his great-grandfather was called Li Sanjiang.
Finally, he regained his composure, and his face showed the innocence of a child.
Before, he felt a kind of horror, which was no less than the moment he was found by the cat-faced old lady in the kitchen.
Because he vaguely felt that if he didn't stop that kind of thought just now and let it continue to diverge, it was likely that he would look at himself in the mirror next...... It will reveal deep disgust.
Fortunately, he restrained it in time, just like his mother who took a deep breath in the mirror and smiled gently again.
"Huh......"
Li Chaiyuan shrugged his shoulders and looked at the time, half past three in the morning.
Are you asleep or not?
I didn't feel sleepy, but I didn't feel sleepy, but I felt better than when I slept normally before.
Is it because your consciousness is separated from your body, so that your body can fully devote yourself to rest without any distractions?
Li Zhuiyuan pushed open the door and walked out, the evening breeze at this point was cool, and it also carried some of the rain and dew that was about to come in the early morning.
Downstairs, it was already quiet, or rather, there was no commotion.
But he doesn't dare to go downstairs to see it alone now, and his rational sense of security will never be able to withstand the fear brought by the unknown.
At this time, the window of the grandfather's bedroom flashed, although there was no standard rhythm of calling for help with three long and three short, Li Chaiyuan still immediately pushed open the bedroom door and went in.
On the bed in the bedroom, Li Sanjiang was bleeding, and his left hand grabbed the light rope at the head of the bed and kept pulling.
He was afraid that no one would be able to see him, and he was even more afraid that the light cord would be broken by himself or the switch would bounce up and get stuck.
Fortunately, he saw Li Chaiyuan pushing the door in.
"Little Yuanhou ......"
Li Sanjiang shouted weakly before he could reach out his hand, and then he saw his great-grandson standing at the door running out without hesitation.
Well, he knew that the child was going to call someone, but how to say it, Xiao Yuanhou didn't run to the bedside to anxiously ask and interact with each other, which still made him feel a little empty.
Before he could say the comforting words "Taiye is okay" and "Xiaoyuanhou don't cry", he swallowed it back, a little panicked.
Li Zhuyuan ran downstairs, ignoring the fear on the first floor, the lights on the first floor were off, but through the moonlight, he could see the east area here, which was full of paper figures.
Yes, these paper figures are still there, and Li Chaiyuan even saw the fat master placed against the wall at a glance.
Most of the paper figures are customized according to tradition, but on this basis, in order to meet the diversified market calls, some special ones will also be made according to the needs of the owner.
For example, if a certain master is worried that his relatives will not eat well below, he will burn a cook.
There are also some old men who left earlier, and the old lady was worried that if she burned the young maids, she would lose her place when she went down, so she ordered those old women who were older than she looked.
After running to the dam, Li Chaiyuan went directly to the West Room, and he knocked on the door:
"Aunt Liu, Uncle Qin, open the door, I'm Xiaoyuan, something happened to my grandfather!"
The door was opened.
Standing at the door was Uncle Qin, and Li Chaiyuan saw Aunt Liu behind Uncle Qin sweeping the floor with a broom.
"Xiaoyuan, what's wrong?" Uncle Qin asked.
"My grandfather was injured and bleeding a lot, and he had to be sent to the clinic."
"I'll go, I'll stop the bleeding and bandage it." Aunt Liu dropped the broom, took out a cloth bag from the cabinet, and rushed out of the house, followed by Uncle Qin.
Li Chaiyuan glanced at the confetti that had been swept in the dustpan, and then looked at the back of Uncle Qin and Aunt Liu.
Don't they even take off their clothes when they go to bed at night?
Li Chaiyuan glanced at the east room, she should have woken up too.
When he passed by the pile of paper figures on the first floor again, he walked up to the fat master, stretched out his hand, and touched it.
With just a slight contact, the fat master fell apart and fell to the ground as a stall.
And this also caused a chain reaction, and for a while, all the paper figures began to "collapse", like a game of building blocks knocking down.
Soon, the east half of the first floor, which originally seemed crowded, became extremely empty, with only scraps of paper and broken wood all over the floor.
He stepped on the confetti very calmly, ignoring the crisp sound of "clicking" under his feet, and came to the staircase and walked up to the second floor.
When I returned to the bedroom, I saw that Aunt Liu was already bandaging my grandfather.
There was a faint herbal smell in the air, a bit like turtle paste, which should have been given medicine first.
Uncle Qin changed the blood-stained quilt and mat, took out a clean floor from the cabinet, and then picked up Li Sanjiang, who had bandaged the wound.
Seeing Aunt Liu packing up her bag, Li Zhuiyuan stepped forward and asked: "Aunt Liu, how is my great-grandfather?"
"There was a lot of blood, and the injuries were not minor, but they were all traumatic injuries, and they had been treated, so there was no need to send them to the clinic, just recuperate."
Li Zhuyuan looked at Li Sanjiang lying on the bed and found that the grandfather's face had recovered a lot of blood.
Aunt Liu also looked at Li Sanjiang, in fact, she was also very surprised, the old man was obviously very old, but he had enough qi and blood, and he looked old on the outside, but he was extremely healthy in his bones.
Other old men and women of the same age could be sent away if they were not careful, they had so many punctures and so much blood flowed on their bodies, but they all seemed to have not hurt their vitality.
"Xiaoyuan, if you have anything, call us again." Uncle Qin said to Li Chaiyuan.
"Well, okay, thank you Uncle Qin and Aunt Liu."
Uncle Qin and Aunt Liu left, Li Chaiyuan picked up the teapot, poured some hot water, and walked to Li Sanjiang's bed.
Li Sanjiang leaned his head against the pillow, his right arm drooped in front of his chest, took the teapot with his left hand, and drank it in small sips.
After drinking, Li Sanjiang let out a sigh: "Xiaoyuanhou, let's stop the transfer ceremony today."
"Okay, sir."
"When the grandfather raises it, let's continue."
"Hmm." Li Chaiyuan took the teapot and put it aside, "Actually, there is no need to continue, grandfather."
"Xi Qiao is ignorant, don't talk nonsense."
"Okay, I won't say anything."
Li Chaiyuan took off his shoes, climbed onto the bed, and came to Li Sanjiang's side, leaning against the bedside railing, and sitting.
"Go to sleep, Xiao Yuanhou, the grandfather is fine."
"Didn't Aunt Liu ask you how you got it like this?"
"I said I fell and got hurt."
They, do you believe it?
Li Chaiyuan had a lot of things he wanted to ask, but he didn't know where to start, and it seemed that Li Sanjiang didn't plan to say it.
After a long time, Li Chaiyuan spoke: "Master, how should I learn?"
If Little Yellow Oriole was just ignorant for the first time when it happened, then he really felt powerless tonight.
When Li Sanjiang heard this, he thought that this kid had finally enlightened himself and planned to study hard.
I was still secretly proud in my heart, it seems that this transfer array is effective, haven't you seen that Xiao Yuanhou has changed his nature?
Okay, this is very good, as long as the child is willing to study hard and shed some blood on his own, it is worth it.
However, he Li Sanjiang was a mud master in his early years, and even if he went to Shanghai Bund later, he dealt with the three religions and nine streams, and he never went to school properly in this life.
When I first learned to read, it was also to read the lace news in the Shanghai newspaper.
However, he can still tell the truth of the bad street.
"Xiaoyuanhou, don't be too ambitious, you still have to lay a solid foundation, so that you can go further in the future."
In other words, do I still have to continue watching "Jianghu Zhi Wei Lu"?
"I know, grandfather."
"Well, if you know it, you have to do it, do it step by step, so that you can achieve success in the future, don't learn from your grandfather, everything you do when you are young is a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west, and you will regret it when you get older."
"Grandpa, you are also very powerful."
Li Chaiyuan looked at Li Sanjiang, who was covered in bandaging marks, and had a guess in his heart, could the zombie have something to do with the grandfather?
One is that the grandfather was injured at home, and the other is that the location of the grandfather's key bandaging is highly overlapping with the area where the zombie was attacked by the old lady.
so
Is this some kind of method used by the grandfather?
"Ha, your grandfather and I have a lot of great skills, so you kid has to study hard, and he will definitely be able to get along better than your grandfather in the future."
Li Sanjiang is not talking about the partial door, he is proud that he will manage the small life of making a living, as for the partial door...... He didn't even know whether he was in the industry or not, so he just ignored it.
"Well, I know."
Li Chaiyuan believes that as long as he continues to read the book, he should be able to know what method the grandfather used today.
At this time, Li Sanjiang snored, he was bleeding, tired, and fell asleep.
Li Zhuiyuan picked up the thin quilt next to him, gently covered his stomach with the grandfather, and then closed his eyes himself.
As if he had taken a nap again, when Li Chaiyuan woke up, it was dawn outside.
He bypassed Li Sanjiang, who was still sleeping, got out of bed, and went out to wash.
When brushing his teeth, he habitually looked up at the east room.
At the back of the east room, there was a little girl sitting, the little girl was wearing a red dress today, and her feet were on the threshold.
Next to her, Grandma Liu was combing her hair.
Li Zhuiyuan smiled, his heart was a little sunnier, and he picked up the washbasin and went back to the house.
As he left the terrace, Qin Li raised his head and looked over.
"Huh?"
Liu Yumei took away the comb and asked: "Grandma hurt you?"
Qin Li retracted her head, looked ahead, and said nothing.
Liu Yumei continued to comb her hair and said with a smile: "You played really long enough last night, can you tell grandma, is there anything fun?"
Qin Li didn't answer.
On the dam, Aunt Liu began to set up wooden benches and prepare breakfast.
After washing up, Li Chaiyuan walked down the stairs and saw the empty first floor that had been cleaned.
When he arrived at the dam, Aunt Liu smiled at him: "Xiaoyuan, it's time for breakfast."
"Okay, Aunt Liu."
Li Zhuyuan sat down, with a bowl of white porridge and a salted duck egg on the wooden bench.
"Why don't you eat here and be in a daze?" Aunt Liu put down a bowl of fish jelly.
"I'm in a daze."
"It's better to be a young man, eat well and sleep well." Aunt Liu smiled and walked away.
Li Chaiyuan silently picked up his chopsticks, he remembered that at the closing table last night, the cat-faced old lady called someone to call the master, the fat master went upstairs, and a few paper man grandmothers ran out to call the house.
The grandfather was injured and bleeding, but they were just like normal people.
Li Zhuiyuan picked up the chopsticks, picked a piece of fish jelly and put it in his mouth, melted in his mouth, with soybeans and chili peppers added to it, the taste was very fragrant, and it was a perfect match for porridge.
At this time, not far away, Grandma Liu took Qin Li's hand and came to the wooden bench, Qin Li sat down, Grandma Liu squatted next to her, and began to "pray" before three meals a day.
She didn't comb her hair in a bun today, her soft hair was draped over her shoulders, and she wore a red skirt, which looked smart and dignified.
Thinking of her silly appearance in her dream last night, Li Chaiyuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Some people do have this special charm, she can do nothing, she doesn't even need to speak, she just stands there, you look at her, and she can immediately feel happy.
It's like the exquisite vase that Li Chaiyuan saw in the cultural relics warehouse with his mother before.
As if hearing laughter, Qin Li turned her head sideways and looked at Li Zhuiyuan who was sitting opposite her eating.
Liu Yumei, who was still in the process of persuasion, looked over with some doubts.
Li Zhuiyuan was slightly surprised, why, can the interaction in the dream last night still be preserved for the day in reality?
Li Zhuyuan pointed to the porridge bowl in front of him and shouted to her: "Eat."
Qin Li lowered her head, picked up her chopsticks, and began to sort all kinds of pickles and diced duck eggs, and then paired them with porridge and began to eat.
Liu Yumei's eyes widened, looking like she had seen a ghost.
Qin Li ate faster than Li Chaiyuan, and when Li Zhuiyuan put down his chopsticks, Qin Li had already sat back on the threshold.
Aunt Liu's figure appeared quickly, and this time, she put away the dishes and chopsticks in front of Li Chaiyuan.
"Thank you, Aunt Liu."
"Next time you finish eating, put it here, I'll collect it, you don't want to cause your Aunt Liu to lose her job, right?"
"I know, Aunt Liu."
"Xiao Yuan, come and make tea for grandma." Liu Yumei called.
She was sitting on a bamboo chair, and on the coffee table next to her was a set of tea sets.
Li Chaiyuan came over, and in the process, Qin Li, who was sitting on the threshold, moved his eyes with him.
Liu Yumei noticed, she raised her hand and motioned for Li Chaiyuan to stop.
Li Zhuyuan stopped, and also looked at Qin Li, he began to retreat, and then Qin Li's eyes still followed him.
Liu Yumei stared at Li Chaiyuan with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Grandma, do you still make tea?"
"Soak."
Li Chaiyuan came over and started making tea.
Liu Yumei paid attention to her granddaughter, who was looking here, heh, after a long time, she could be taken by her granddaughter to watch, and she had to be touched by the light of the kid next to her.
"Xiaoyuan ......"
"Grandma......
Just when Liu Yumei didn't intend to continue speaking, she heard Li Chaseyuan's faster speech:
"Grandma, why do you want to live here with my great-grandfather?"
Liu Yumei smiled: "Just ask for a life."
"However, you are not short of life, you are very rich, this set of tea sets, and the jade fingers you gave me yesterday, can already buy a suite in Beijing."
Then, Li Chaiyuan added: "But the antique market has not yet arrived, and it will be more cost-effective to make a move ten years later."
The grandparents who love to collect in the family yard began to inquire about the news as early as ten years ago and collected old objects in the alleys, but they only accepted and did not sell them, saying that they were antiques from the prosperous era, and they would have to sell them or leave them to their descendants after a few years.
"Xiaoyuan, do you even know antiques?" Immediately, Liu Yumei sat up straight slightly, her face straightened, "Did your great-grandfather tell you?"
The antique industry relies on the precipitation of eyesight and knowledge, how old is the child in front of him, Liu Yumei doesn't believe that he can see it for himself.
Li Zhuyuan shook his head.
Not to mention that the grandparents in the family yard like to show off their collections, he followed his mother to various museums in Beijing, and the most common thing he saw was antiques, and there were many real treasures that were not exhibited to the public.
"Xiaoyuan, grandma lives here because the air here is good, the climate is good, and it is good for Ah Li's illness."
"Oh, I know, grandma, what were you just going to ask?"
Liu Yumei was a little surprised, did this kid believe it?
She asked: "Why is Ah Li looking at you?"
Li Zhuiyuan said a little shyly: "Maybe I saw her too many times a few days ago, and she felt that she had suffered a loss, so she had to pay it back."
Liu Yumei: "......"
Sure enough, this kid didn't believe what he had just said.
"Grandma, drink tea."
"Hmm."
One old and one young, each drinking tea, the luster flowing in the tea soup is all the eyes of the heart.
After drinking tea, Li Chaiyuan was going to read a book, he first went to the toilet at the back of the house to make it convenient, and when he passed by the east room back and forth, he greeted Qin Li, and Qin Li saluted him.
Before entering the main house, I heard the hoarse shout of the grandfather from the first floor:
"What's going on, what's going on, where is my paper, where did it go?"
Li Chaiyuan looked at the grandfather so angry that he almost jumped up, and kept stomping his feet after landing.
Aunt Liu came over and said: "It rained lightly last night, and the rain came in and destroyed everything."
Li Sanjiang frowned: "What?"
Li Chaiyuan said: "Master, can you get out of bed?"
"Of course, my body is fine, grandfather...... No, now I'm talking about tying paper, how did you do it?"
Li Chaiyuan: "Aunt Liu is right, the rain is coming."
"This ......" Li Sanjiang opened his mouth, "This is ......"
Aunt Liu said: "Uncle, it's okay, Ali and I just stay up late and do it, it won't affect the delivery."
"This is a matter of delivery, this material is ......" Li Sanjiang was depressed for a while, only to feel that the loss of this paper was more painful than his own hole.
He is rich, this house, this table, chairs, dishes, this paper workshop...... But he didn't save money, and his life was elegant, and suddenly the goods in the warehouse were gone, and the money was about to become tighter.
"Xiaoyuanhou, help the grandfather go to Liu Blind Man's place and ask her if Niu Fu's birthday has been calculated.
"Huh?" Li Chaiyuan was stunned for a moment, and after seeing that Aunt Liu had left to get the raw materials, he walked up to Li Sanjiang: "Master, you are like this, do you still want to have a birthday?"
Li Sanjiang said of course: "Isn't it because of this that I have to go more!"
"Your body now, what if you encounter any danger in the Niu family......"
"I have no money to spend, what's the use of this body?"
Li Chaiyuan didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Xiaoyuanhou, my grandfather has lived such a life, and I have long lived enough, but I don't want to be in a hurry, be good, be obedient, and help my grandfather pass on the words.
In addition, let me tell you again, this time it was not only me and Liu Blind Man who went, but also invited a companion, hehe, I guessed, he will be here tomorrow, that old thing is with his family, but it's amazing.
Remember, you can't tell Liu Blind Man what I am doing now, she is timid, and if she finds out, she will have to retreat!"
Li Chaiyuan nodded, and could only go to Liu Jinxia's house.
Cuicui's northern grandmother was sick and hospitalized, that is, Cuicui's father's mother, Li Juxiang took Cuicui to the health center to visit, so she was not at home.
Liu Jinxia had already set up the bridge court in the morning, and when Li Chaiyuan came, she was having fun. After listening to Li Chaiyuan's message, Liu Jinxia shook off the soot and said: "The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, let's go to Niu Fu's house in Shigang together the morning after tomorrow."
Li Chaiyuan: "Grandma Liu, will it be too fast?"
"Hurry up, get things done early and cash out early, hehehe. Besides, with your grandfather here, what is there to worry about?"
If you knew what the grandfather looked like now, you wouldn't think so.
Li Chaiyuan returned home and reported the date to Li Sanjiang.
"Done, okay, okay."
Li Sanjiang, who was lying on the rattan chair on the terrace on the second floor, happily patted his legs and reached out to pull the rope on the wall next to him, and at the top of the rope was a black wooden box nailed to the wall.
First there were some snowflake sounds, and after pulling it a little, there was a storytelling sound.
Li Sanjiang closed his eyes, lit a cigarette, and listened to a book while smoking, even though his body was full of scars, he still exuded an unrestrained spirit.
As if noticing that Li Zhuiyuan was still standing beside him, Li Sanjiang said:
"Xiao Yuan Hou, this is the life you chose as your grandfather, and you can do whatever job is dangerous, why? Because this work is not tiring.
This is your great-grandfather's life."
Li Chaiyuan nodded, he took out the fifth volume of "Jianghu Zhi Wei Lu", walked to the southeast corner of the terrace and sat down, and began to study.
As before, every time he turned the page, he would look up at the girl below.
He found that the girl was also looking up at him.
It's very good, the feeling of looking at each other is more eye-catching.
However, looking at it, Li Chaiyuan found that every time he looked up, he could meet each other.
Even Grandma Liu downstairs looked up along her granddaughter's gaze.
This makes Li Chaiyuan have to take a look at Grandma Liu every time he wants to keep his eyes peeled.
Therefore, until he finished reading this fifth volume, Li Chaiyuan did not look up and look down again.
After Li Chaiyuan sat down, he looked up, Grandma Liu was already sitting on the chair next to her and reading the newspaper, but Qin Li still maintained her posture of looking up.
She won't keep this head-up posture all the time, will she?
This made Li Chaiyuan feel a little guilty, and he was a little irritable when reading a book and couldn't completely calm down.
Grandma Liu, who was reading the newspaper downstairs, had actually been staring at the terrace with her peripheral vision, watching the child poke her head out from time to time, and the frequency became more and more chaotic, and she couldn't help but sneer in her heart:
This is a man, he comes and goes freely and is at ease, but once he is bound by responsibilities, he becomes upset.
But soon, Liu Yumei put down the newspaper in surprise, because she saw Li Chaiyuan running downstairs, smiled as she passed in front of her, and then walked straight to her granddaughter.
"You ......."
Before Liu Yumei could say anything, she saw the boy bending over to hold her granddaughter's hand.
"Dangerous ......"
Liu Yumei knew what kind of terrible reaction her granddaughter would have when she was touched by outsiders, and the boy in front of her would be scratched until her head was bleeding, even her grandmother did not dare to act too intimately.
Immediately, Liu Yumei stood up with a "rubbing", and he actually saw the boy holding his granddaughter's hand, and his granddaughter also stood up.
This is ...... What's going on?
When her granddaughter stared at the boy in the morning, she also took a closer look at her tea-making skills to see if there was anything dirty hanging on the boy's body that could attract her granddaughter.
But at the moment, this kind of interaction is beyond Liu Yumei's understanding.
Li Chaiyuan held Qin Li's hand, her hands were warm and soft.
"You will get tired if you raise your neck like this, can you go up and read with me?"
Qin Li looked at Chase Li and said nothing.
"If you don't speak, you will agree."
Li Chaiyuan bent down to pick up the bench where Qin Li was sitting, and then pulled her towards the house.
Liu Yumei didn't make a sound to stop it, on the contrary, after the initial shock, when she looked at the back of the boy and girl holding hands and walking together, her eyes were immediately soaked with tears.
She covered her mouth with her hands, for fear that she would cry.
She even bit the back of her hand with her teeth to confirm that she was not dreaming.
"Bang!"
On the first floor, Aunt Liu, who was busy making paper figures, fell directly to the ground with a pot of paste in her hand and splashed all over the ground.
"Crunch......
Uncle Qin, who was assembling the frame of the house, directly tore off the beams of the paper house.
They looked at each other, thinking they were dazzled, what did they see just now, Ah Li was held by outsiders and walked up the stairs together?
The two immediately dropped their work and ran out to the dam, but did not see Liu Yumei, so they came to the east room again, saw Liu Yumei standing in front of the tablet, and said with tears of joy:
"Did you see it, did you see it, our Ah Li, our Ah Li......"
……
Li Sanjiang was listening to the radio and telling a story, humming a minor tune, turned sideways to get the teapot and just took a sip of water when he saw Li Chaiyuan walking out of the staircase holding hands with Qin Li.
"Poof!"
The water in Li Sanjiang's mouth sprayed out directly.
"Grandpa, do you want me to add water to you?"
Seeing Li Chaiyuan pulling Qin Li towards him, Li Sanjiang immediately waved his hand:
"No, no, no, no, you take her away, stay away from me! No, you ...... too"
Li Chaiyuan led Qin Li to the southeast corner and put down the bench.
"Sit down."
Qin Li sat down.
Li Chaoyuan sat back on the rattan chair, picked up the book, and as soon as he turned the page, he felt something was wrong, so he got up again: "Stand up."
Qin Li stood up, Li Chaiyuan moved her small bench away, replaced it with a higher one that Sister Yingzi brought up yesterday, and then placed it beside her.
"Sit down."
Qin Li looked at the new bench and did not sit down.
Li Chaiyuan was a little confused, but he immediately seemed to think of something and wiped it on the bench with his cuffs:
"Sit down, it's clean."
Qin Li sat down.
Li Chaiyuan put the book on the wooden bench again, no longer holding it and lying down to read it.
The two were very close, head to head.
Qin Li's eyes have been falling on him, and he can also take the girl's face into his line of sight while reading a book.
The girl's hair was blown up by the wind from time to time and hit her face; The fragrance on her body has also lingered on the tip of her nose.
This feeling is very peculiar.
Reading books to keep your eyes open at the same time,
Li Chaiyuan felt that he had found the highest efficiency in reading.
In the distance, Li Sanjiang went from fear to fear to worry to unbelievable......
After looking at it for a long time, after confirming that the girl was just sitting there obediently staring at her great-grandson and not causing any danger, his eyes ...... showed appreciation!
This little Yuanhou is really different from when his mother was a child.
Li Lan's girl often received love letters when she was in school, but the girl's approach was to send all the love letters she received directly to the principal's office desk.
On that day, I don't know how many boys were invited to be parents, and the principal's office was filled with the sound of leather whips and slaps.
"Yes, very good, it seems that our little Yuanhou is smarter and smarter than his mother when he was young, hehe."
Li Sanjiang closed his eyes and began to listen to the book.
Near noon, Li Chaiyuan felt a little urged to urinate, he should have had tea with Grandma Liu in the morning, and he asked Qin Li:
"Do you want to go to the toilet?"
Qin Li didn't speak.
"Then you sit here, I'll go to the toilet and come back."
Qin Li didn't react.
Li Chaiyuan got up, ran downstairs, and went around to the back of the house, originally the huge vegetable field behind the house was a place that could be marked, as soon as he stood still, he heard footsteps coming from behind him, and when he turned around, he found that it was Qin Li.
She followed.
"Forehead......"
Li Zhuiyuan could only betray the teachings of Pan Zileizi's brothers, turned around and lifted the curtain, and walked into the toilet.
Standing still, the curtain was lifted and she came in again.
Li Chaiyuan had to lead her out of the toilet and said: "I'm here for convenience, you follow me in, it's inconvenient for me, you just stand here and wait for me to come out, okay?"
Qin Li didn't react.
Li Chaiyuan lifted the curtain again and entered the toilet, waited for a while, but did not hear the sound of the curtain being lifted, and then untied his belt.
There was a water tank next to the toilet, and after picking up the ladle and washing his hands, Li Chaiyuan walked out and saw Qin Li standing obediently in place this time.
"Do you need to go to the toilet? Or not, let's go too."
Qin Li walked to the toilet and lifted the curtain, but her hand was grabbed, she stopped, looked back at Li Chaiyuan, her eyes puzzled.
This kind of doubt is the same as when Li Zhuiyuan asked her to eat but was not allowed to eat last night when he sat at the dining table.
Li Chaiyuan was a little worried about whether she would go to the toilet by herself to see how she was taken care of by Grandma Liu on weekdays......
All in all, he knew very little about Qin Li, only ...... She was good-looking.
Li Chaiyuan was about to go to Grandma Liu to ask, but as soon as he looked up at the aisle, he saw Liu Yumei's head sticking out.
"Grandma Liu......"
"We Ahri will eat, go to the toilet and take a bath by ourselves, we Ahri are just like normal people."
"Okay." Li Chaiyuan nodded and let go of his hand.
Qin Li walked into the toilet.
Li Chase stayed in place, feeling Liu Yumei's fiery gaze sweeping over him.
"Xiaoyuan."
"Grandma Liu."
"You just take our family Ah Li to play, take her to play."
"Okay, Grandma Liu."
The sound of washing hands came from the toilet, and then Qin Li walked out, her hands spread out in front of her.
Grandma Liu hurriedly reminded: "Wipe your hands, wipe your hands."
"Oh."
Li Chaiyuan stepped forward, took Qin Li's hand, and wiped it on his shirt.
"Okay, it's clean."
Qin Li withdrew her hand.
Li Zhuiyuan led her halfway back to the second floor, went to get a clean towel, and put it on his shoulder.
Returning to the northeast corner of the terrace, Li Chaiyuan sat down to read a book, and after Qin Li sat down, that good-looking face also came into his sight.
Read the sixth volume.
Li Chuiyuan stretched his waist, then stood up, walked to an open place, and seriously did broadcast gymnastics for middle school students across the country.
As soon as I finished finishing it and took out the seventh volume, I heard Aunt Liu downstairs calling for lunch.
Li Chaiyuan and Qin Li went down.
Li Sanjiang ate separately from them, and this time was no exception, Qin Li was taken there by Grandma Liu.
After Li Sanjiang sat down, he took out a bottle of liquor.
"Master, you are injured and cannot drink."
"Bah, your grandfather and half of my body are almost in the ground, and every time I drink more, I earn it."
Ignoring the advice from his great-grandson, Li Sanjiang poured himself a full cup, just took a sip, picked up the chopsticks and was about to pick up some food to press, but he saw a figure suddenly walking over, it was Qin Li.
Behind them were Liu Yumei and Aunt Liu who followed.
"I'm sorry, we're all ready over there, and just as we were about to eat, Ah Li left the table and ran over."
"Come, Ali, go back to dinner with grandma first, and then go play with Xiaoyuan after eating."
Qin Li was not pulled, she stood there, looking at Chase Li.
And with Liu Yumei's pull, her eyelashes began to jump slightly, and her body began to tremble gradually.
Liu Yumei could only let go of her hand and didn't dare to pull it anymore.
He waved his hand and said, "Let the girl eat here, add two chopsticks."
"Then thank you." Liu Yumei hurriedly thanked her, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
Li Sanjiang waved his hand: "It's good that the two young girls can play together, and they all have a playmate, so they don't have to be lonely."
Aunt Liu brought bowls, chopsticks and a small bench.
Li Chaiyuan picked up the towel on his shoulder and wiped the bench for her: "Sit down and eat together."
Qin Li didn't move.
Liu Yumei: "Ah Li, sit down and eat together."
Qin Li still didn't sit down, but she turned sideways to Li Sanjiang, although she didn't look at it, but the meaning was very clear.
She didn't want to eat with Li Sanjiang.
Li Sanjiang was holding a wine glass and was about to drink, and when he saw this posture, he said at a loss:
"That...... I'm leaving?"
Liu Yumei didn't speak, but she was happy that her granddaughter was showing her emotions, not through that kind of madness.
Li Chaiyuan didn't answer, and silently wiped the small bench again.
Li Sanjiang smashed his mouth: "Hehe, hehehe. Forget it, Tinghou, divide the food for me, I'll sit there."
"Hey, okay, okay, I'm sorry to cause trouble to you, uncle."
Aunt Liu immediately divided the dishes and set up a separate table for Li Sanjiang in another place.
Qin Li finally sat down.
Liu Yumei said to Li Chaiyuan expectantly: "Xiaoyuan, you let Ah Li eat."
It's in the morning, I need to persuade her for a long time every time, but as a result, this boy said a word, and his own Ah Li ate.
"Wait a minute." Li Zhuyuan got up and ran to the kitchen.
Qin Li also wanted to stand up, but saw Li Chaseyuan coming back with four small plates and a small bowl.
I saw Li Chaiyuan sandwiching the portion of the dishes into each small dish, and scooping it into the soup in the small bowl.
Qin Li's eyes seemed to have more luster.
Liu Yumei looked at this scene with a little curiosity.
Li Chaiyuan: "Okay, let's eat."
Qin Li picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
After a row of plates were sandwiched, she took a sip of the soup and continued to repeat.
Liu Yumei was surprised that she actually felt that her granddaughter was eating very easily this time, and even with a little bit of girlish joy.
"Can you still do this?"
Li Zhuyuan smiled, the rest of the dishes on the plate were his, and he also started to eat.
Thanks to the fact that his deskmate is a severe obsessive-compulsive disorder patient, he naturally understands how to get along with people of the same kind.
Qin Li ate quickly, and in the last round, all the dishes on the plate were finished, the soup was drunk in the last bite, and the rice was just finished clean.
She put down her chopsticks.
Li Zhuiyuan picked up the towel, folded it, and helped her wipe the corners of her mouth and hands, the towel was large and could be divided into many functional areas.
After eating, Li Chaiyuan took Qin Li to the terrace to read again.
He also read this "Jianghu Chronicles of Monsters" faster and faster, and by dusk, he had already seen the twelfth volume.
He felt that this speed could be mentioned tomorrow, and it would not take a few days for him to finish reading the introductory encyclopedia, and then he would be able to go to the basement box to hunt for treasures again.
In the middle of this, when he drank water, he also gave Qin Li water; He went to the toilet and took Qin Li to the toilet.
He didn't eat much snacks, so he was afraid that she would be hungry, so he opened a few bags of snacks and shared them with her.
Every time afterwards, he had to wipe her hands, and the towel became dirtier and dirtier because he used it himself.
Li Sanjiang muttered with some dissatisfaction and asked why Yingzi didn't come to make up lessons for him today.
Li Chaiyuan felt that his sister should be at home digesting the questions he helped her solve yesterday.
But Li Sanjiang thought that Yingzi felt that Li Chaiyuan was too difficult to counsel and was unwilling to come.
Dinner is still Li Sanjiang's single table.
This time, Liu Yumei helped her granddaughter take the plate and divide the dishes in advance, but when Qin Li sat down, she didn't take the chopsticks.
Li Zhuiyuan picked up his chopsticks and fine-tuned the amount of dishes on each plate.
Qin Li picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
Liu Yumei: "Ah Li, it was grandma who was negligent and didn't control the amount."
In fact, the old lady thought to herself: Hmph, I can't remember how much grandma you ate in one bite, this girl, on purpose!
But the old man has no dissatisfaction in his heart, only happiness, because these are all good trends, not afraid of her losing her temper, but afraid that she will completely close herself like a piece of wood like before, that is the real despair.
Liu Yumei turned her head to look at Li Sanjiang who was sitting there alone drinking wine, and then looked at Li Chaiyuan in front of her, and sighed in her heart:
After living here for so long, have you finally waited for good luck?
After dinner, Li Zhuyuan didn't plan to read with the desk lamp at night, he read a little too much today, he felt tired, and was about to go back to take a shower and go to sleep.
Looking at Qin Li, who still wanted to continue to follow him, he said seriously:
"Ah Li, you go back to wash up and sleep, I have to go to bed too, let's read together tomorrow, okay?"
Qin Li didn't speak.
Li Chaiyuan turned around, walked towards the stairs, then stopped and turned around, and found that she did not follow but obediently followed Liu Yumei to the east room, so he felt relieved and went upstairs to take a shower.
After taking a shower, Li Zhuyuan thought about taking out the dirty towel and scrubbing it, but found that the towel that had been hanging on his shoulder was missing.
"Where did it fall?"
……
In the east room, watching her granddaughter lie down on the bed after washing, Liu Yumei was very relieved.
With a smile on her face, she walked out of the inner bedroom and came to the tablet offering.
She has a lot to say today, and she wants to talk to Ahri's grandfather, Ahri's grandparents, and Ahri's parents.
I have guarded her for so long, and now she finally has hope of recovery, I believe they and the ancestors will be happy.
After all, Ah Li is the only descendant of the Qin and Liu families today.
Sitting down in front of the tablet, Liu Yumei was about to start talking, but suddenly found that something seemed wrong with the six-story tablet shelf.
It stands to reason that it is impossible for anyone to move here, there are only so many people in the house, and Qin Li and Liu Ting will never dare to touch this place when cleaning the house.
But what is wrong?
Liu Yumei looked up and down carefully several times, and finally found the dark place under the lamp.
That is, in the middle of the third floor of the tablet, the tablet that originally belonged to Grandpa Ali, who was her husband, was gone!
Instead,
It was folded into small squares...... Dirty towel.
