I opened my mouth wide and looked at the man in Hanfu strangely. I suddenly felt that I seemed to have made a mistake. Just as I was thinking, the man in Hanfu seemed to see that I hadn’t looked at my mouth and said something. Give up."
"Hey, then..." Before I could finish my sentence, the man in Hanfu disappeared just like that.
Damn, there was a big misunderstanding. I sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette. I rarely smoke while living here, but I can't help it now.
In the past few days, I have searched the inside and outside of the house several times, but I didn't find anything wrong, and the female ghost didn't seem to appear again. It feels like I'm fighting with the Hanfu man for something that doesn't exist.
Moreover, the most important point, the man in Hanfu didn't seem to want to hurt Li Tie, or in other words, the man in Hanfu didn't care about Li Tie at all. His goal is only the female ghost, and my goal is to protect Li Tie who may be killed by the female ghost.
There is a huge misunderstanding between me and the men in Hanfu.
Probably because I thought too much at night, I woke up very late the next day, and Li Tie was sitting on the sofa, still mending the insole.
I was suddenly curious, because the insoles are all in pairs, there is no reason to keep sewing one.
"Master, you are sewing insoles again, and the other one is not broken? I see you mending one."
When Li Tie mended the insoles, he was very serious and usually would not answer my questions, but this time I probably asked about the insoles, so he smiled and gave me an answer that made me depressed.
"This is the only insole, and the other is just bought. If it breaks, buy it again, no need to sew it."
I understand what he means. After all, this insole was made by his wife herself, so the meaning is naturally different.
I took a small stool and sat next to Li Tie, and asked curiously, "Did you lose the other one?"
Li Tie put down the insole, pushed his presbyopic glasses, and sighed: "I didn't lose it. Liniang was buried in it when she was buried. At that time, the family was poor, and the coffin was paid on credit, so there was nothing to be buried with her. After thinking about it, I put the insole inside, the insole is not finished yet, let Liniang help me make it down below, I went down, easy to wear."
Li Tie's words made my heart ache. It has been almost 60 years, but when he mentioned his wife, he still had a gentle smile on his face.
"Master, since this insole is so important, why do you still wear it? It's better to keep it well."
"You boy, I want me to keep this insole and wear a new one when I go down. Haha, tell you, Liniang is down there. I don't have to worry about the insole when I die. Besides, Liniang said, the insole , it’s for use, and it’s not a treasure, so of course it’s for use.”
"This insole is not a baby, you don't dare to put your feet down when you walk every day."
Li Tie laughed loudly, and then his smile gradually faded until it disappeared: "Throwing this insole on the ground may make people detour, but it is my life. If the insole is lost, my life is gone."
I nodded silently and looked at the very ordinary insole in Li Tie's hands. This is already the most precious treasure in Li Tie's life.
In the afternoon, Huang Xiaolong called me and asked me to come over at night, saying that he had something to tell me. After dinner was ready, I quietly arranged the formation, said hello to Li Tie, and left.
When I arrived, Huang Xiaolong and Wu Jian were cooking a hot pot at home. I was not polite, so I picked up the chopsticks I had prepared and started eating. During the meal, Huang Xiaolong told me that he was going to leave for a while and planned to go back to the restaurant. Improve yourself, this meal is for him to practice.
In the evening, we drank until very late, so I didn't go back and stayed directly at Huang Xiaolong's house.
The next morning, I sent Huang Xiaolong away. I went back to Li Tie’s house and opened the door. The old man who was mending insoles every morning was not there. The house was a little messy. , just as I was figuring out what to do.
He Qiang called me. Li Tie was seriously ill. He called him early this morning, and He Qiang immediately sent Li Tie to the hospital, where he was rescued just now.
As soon as I heard it, I rushed to the hospital.
Li Tie was lying on the hospital bed, and after seeing him overnight, his whole body changed, his red face turned sallow, his hair was disheveled, and he looked very bad.
"Why didn't your old man call me, Brother Qiang is so far away?"
"Master said you have something to do, I'm afraid it will delay you." He Qiang looked at me: "This old man just has a good heart, and he doesn't want to see what's going on. I've been rushing there for almost an hour."
He Qiang's words moved me and blamed myself at the same time. Li Tie smiled at me when he saw me.
"How could this be?" I took Li Tie's hand.
He Qiang smiled wryly: "Master got up this morning and was about to go downstairs to buy breakfast, and then accidentally fell down."
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have left last night."
Li Tie patted the back of my hand: "Silly boy, you have your own business. I am already very satisfied to be able to accompany me as an old man like this. My old friends, my son is not as filial as you. Besides , I deserve it too."
The old man's last sentence made me stunned. Looking at the old man strangely, the old man smiled and said, "The insole, I still haven't repaired a little, so I was lazy and went out without the insole. It was Liniang who blamed me."
A middle-aged man on the next bed burst out laughing: "Old man, you said that insole is too evil."
Li Tie, who has always had a good temper, gave the middle-aged man a dissatisfied look. The middle-aged man, who was joking, got bored and stopped talking. Li Tie looked at me and said, "Xiao Wu, you go back Help me take off the insole, I was just a little short of mending it. This little He Fei wants to stay here to take care of me, he doesn’t understand, the insole is more important than my life.”
He Qiang smiled wryly at me and touched his nose.
I smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go back and get it for you."
"Is that right?" Li Tie looked very happy after hearing this.
I was about to leave when several doctors and nurses came in and arranged for Li Tie to have some surgery, saying that Li Tie had broken a bone and some broken bones had to be taken out.
I just realized that Li Tie's forehead was already covered with sweat during just talking to us.
He Qiang and I were about to help the doctor lift Li Tie up, but Li Tie dodged stubbornly, probably because he touched the wound, and he couldn't help crying out in pain.
Everyone didn't understand what Li Tie meant.
Li Tie said to me with a straight face: "Xiao Wu, you promised the old man to help me get it."
I couldn't help but nodded and said: "Master, don't worry, the operation will be performed first, and I will get it right away."
"That won't work, don't bring it, I won't do surgery."
He Qiang and the doctor also tried to persuade me, but Li Tie didn't listen at all, he took my hand and said, "Xiao Wu, it's not that I don't have surgery, I don't have insoles, I will die on the operating table."
Several nurses couldn't help laughing. I looked at this stubborn old man and said speechlessly, "Okay, I'll get it for you now."
I greeted He Qiang, and then rushed back quickly.
The insole was still on the sofa, and I was also in a hurry, so I picked it up and was about to leave.
But as soon as I turned around, I stopped, and then slowly brought the insole in my hand to my eyes. The insole was still the same dilapidated one, but through contact, I could feel the deep Yin Qi hidden in the insole .
