Chapter 1141
I said yes.
After getting into the tent, Xiaoxuan hugged me directly without saying anything.
I patted her back gently and whispered: "It's okay, Xuan, nothing happened. You can sleep for a while."
"Um...."
Xiaoxuan was in my arms, frowning and falling asleep. She looked tired.
At around 11 o'clock, it was dark and quiet outside the camp.
I was in a daze when Xiaoxuan suddenly woke up, gasping and shouting: "Ghost! There is a ghost! Yunfeng! I'm afraid! There is a ghost outside the tent! That person climbed up!"
I opened the zipper and took a look. The burglar hole not far away had already been filled in, and there was nothing there.
"Don't be afraid..." I hugged her tightly and comforted her softly: "You are too tired and had a nightmare. It will be better tomorrow."
At a quarter past twelve, we set off on time, carrying large and small bags full of things, and embarked on the return journey.
When I returned to the village, it was almost dawn, I took out the key and pushed the door open. I was shocked!
There was a dark figure sitting on the bench in the courtyard, motionless.
If you look carefully, it's Mr. Li.
"Grandpa...Grandpa..."
When Yuan Bao saw the old man, he felt guilty and did not dare to step forward.
Mr. Li stood up and took a few steps forward. He pulled Yuan Bao over with a black face, slapped Yuan Bao on the face with a big slap!
"Didn't you say you went to the city hospital to get Xiaoxia's examination report? Did you go to the city? Where did the dirt on your pants come from?"
Yuan Bao lowered his head and did not dare to say a word.
"explain!"
Mr. Li's face turned livid and he scolded sternly.
I wanted to say a few nice words to Yuan Bao, but he kicked me hard on the head, meaning to tell me to leave him alone.
"You...you made me so angry!"
"You bastard! I've been telling you for fucking years! Don't do this! Don't do this! Do you want to be like your father! Huh?"
"I'm not short of money, my dear!"
"Your father, I am 74 this year! How many more years do I have to live?"
"If you die in the pit! If you go in! Who will raise your children! Who will take care of your wife!"
Mr. Li looked excited and yelled angrily.
Yuan Bao said with red eyes: "I know I was wrong, grandpa, don't be angry."
At this time, the head spoke.
"Brother Li, I am also at fault for this matter. The children are still young and do not understand some things. Unlike the two of us, we are 150 years old together. Let's go and talk in the house."
We young people are the only ones left in the small courtyard.
Seeing his grandfather enter the house, Yuanbao stopped crying immediately.
He held his booger in his right hand and said with a smile: "I, Cao, have been fooled."
Lighting a cigarette, Yuan Bao puffed out a smoke ring and asked me with a smile: "Brother, how much do you estimate the sales of these goods this time will be?"
I thought for a while and said, "It's hard to say. It mainly depends on the strength of the boss who receives the goods. However, I guess if we just find a rich woman to sell that string of new gold necklaces, we can split it into tens of thousands each." .”
"Ha ha!"
Yuan Bao laughed loudly, but when he heard his grandfather's voice in the room, he stopped laughing immediately.
He hugged me and whispered: "Brother, I will give you a card number when the time comes, and you can pay me the money. Don't let me know about this."
"Is it so mysterious?" I asked speechlessly.
"Hey, you don't know," Yuan Bao warned me with a mature look even though he was only eighteen this year, "You'll know when you get married, brother. We men can't live without a small treasury."
After talking to Mr. Li for about an hour, I could see after coming out that Mr. Li's anger had obviously subsided a lot, and at least his face was not that ugly.
"You haven't had breakfast yet, Master Li? Why don't you eat here later," I offered the old man a cigarette.
"No, I have other things to do during the day, so you can eat."
I flicked the ash from my cigarette and asked casually with a smile: "Master Li, you are well-informed. Do you know what "Shui Guan'er" means?"
He took my cigarette without lighting it, and immediately frowned.
"Shui Guan'er? You're talking about Huo Guan'er, right? Why, have you seen them?"
"Them? What do you mean Master Li."
He frowned and said: "This is a small group of people living in Ma Village. They moved to Luoyang during the Great Famine in 1942. I heard from an old friend of mine that this group of people make a living by collecting herbs. Their ancestors , was the chieftain of Dali Kingdom in Yunnan during the Ming Dynasty."
"Boy, ask around, don't mess with these descendants of the chieftain."
"What? Did you provoke them?"
Holding the cigarette in his hand, he was stunned for a few seconds.
I quickly shook my head and said, "No, not at all."
