Lao Chen asked his wife and Luo Pianlu to help clean up the facade, and then entertained Luo Qiu upstairs to his home.
This is a three-story self-built house. The downstairs is decorated as a storefront for business, and the upstairs is naturally occupied by people. There are many buildings of this style in the old city.
Old Chen was a smoker, and now he got a small amount of shredded tobacco from his pipe and put it on the smoking pot, and started to keep the fire in the smoking pot rattling.
"Luo Qiu... Are you Luo Qiu?"
He wasn't sure if the young man in front of him was the one he knew—especially after witnessing the miracle that year.
Maybe this is just the person called by that place to remind himself, it's just an illusion.
Luo Qiu somewhat understood what Lao Chen was thinking. What he didn't expect was that Lao Chen's name appeared on the ledger. This account has to be collected. The contract has been signed at the beginning, and when the time comes, it will come. Whether he comes or not, the result is the same.
The only difference is whether it is him or You Ye.
It would be better not to answer this question.
After being silent for a while, Luo Qiu slowly opened his mouth and said, "Eighteen years ago, your wife and your son were supposed to die in a car accident. But you exchanged your soul for your son's surviving Opportunity, I used the remaining half of my life to continue your wife's eighteen-year life."
Old Chen slowly closed his eyes, as if recalling those. After a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Eighteen years, the white horse has passed, the old situation, there is no need to mention it."
As he said that, Old Chen looked at Luo Qiu honestly, smiled and said: "I saw it on TV, and I read it out because I thought it was interesting. If I had to say it myself, I would definitely not be able to say it... How much time do I have left? "
Luo Qiu said: "Three days."
Old Chen suddenly said: "Are you free today? Have lunch here? Every time I just invite you to eat steamed stuffed buns. In fact, the drunken chicken made by my old lady tastes the best."
Luo Qiu nodded lightly and said hello.
Old Chen didn't seem to have any intention of asking Luo Qiu's background. After learning that there were only three days left, he seemed quite calm. He only regarded him as an old neighbor who had known him for twenty years. child.
"Sit down, I'll go buy some food." Old Chen said and went downstairs.
Luo Qiu looked at everything in the house, and suddenly a butterfly flew in from the gap in the anti-theft net on the balcony, and came in front of him.
The beautiful golden beaked swallowtail stopped and transformed into a human-like Luo Pianli.
"Eavesdropping is not a very good behavior." Luo Qiu spoke suddenly.
Luo Pianlu said, "It's just that my hearing is better, and you didn't deliberately hide it... Boss, will I really die in three days?"
Luo Qiu nodded, looked at the old photos hanging on the wall and said, "Time is running out, so naturally it should end."
Luo Pianlu blurted out: "Can't you increase the life span of the boss? He is a good man."
Luo Qiu then turned around to look at Die Yao and said, "Yes, as long as someone is willing to extend his life, the life span will naturally be extended...Guest, do you need this?"
"I..." Luo Pianlu hesitated to speak, but finally fell silent.
She has just become a feather, and she has no long-term possessions.
This thought flashed through his mind, but was stopped instinctively. The monster who has just entered another new stage obviously has a good impression of the old couple who show kindness. But if you want to give something, it seems that you need to define what you should do and what you don't need to do.
Luo Pianlu touched her chest with a wry smile and said, "It's strange. I obviously have the urge to help the boss and the boss's wife, but in the end I feel a sense of fear instead."
Luo Qiu said: "At least there is still impulse."
Luo Pianlu suddenly said: "It stands to reason that the boss and the boss's wife are the ones who watched you grow up... Don't you feel sad?"
When this question came, Luo Qiu also asked himself, but he didn't expect that someone would soon... Well, the monster asked himself the same question.
Boss Luo said softly: "If I didn't have these eighteen years, I probably wouldn't even have sadness, right?"
Luo Pianlu shook her head and said, "It's really hard to understand your human thoughts."
Luo Qiu also shook his head and said: "I may know more than you, but I don't think I know more than those old people who have lived for decades. If you don't understand, I don't understand either."
"Why?"
Luo Qiu took it for granted: "Because we are still young, how can we really see through everything?"
At this moment, some noisy voices suddenly came from downstairs.
Luo Qiu subconsciously shook his head, but the young butterfly demon next to him frowned: "It should be the boss's son, this guy is here again today."
"you know?"
Luo Pianlu shook her head and said, "I've seen it several times in the past few days. I don't understand, but it seems that someone is planning to take over the land. The boss's son plans to sell this small building, but the boss disagrees. In fact, there has been a quarrel. It's been twice."
Luo Qiu frowned, and said directly: "Go down and have a look."
…
…
Downstairs, two men in their 30s and 40s sat in front of Lao Chen's wife. One of them vaguely looks like Old Chen's, probably his son. As for the other one, he was dressed in a suit, like a successful white-collar worker.
Lao Chen's wife is sitting sideways at the moment, and doesn't want to see the two of them alike.
Lao Chen's son said: "Mom! What's the time now? You and Dad sold this place, it's not good? This time, they charged a high price, and you can enjoy your life with the money!"
After all, he is a son, and Lao Chen's wife also said helplessly: "Your father doesn't agree, it just doesn't agree... Besides, I, I don't want to sell it either."
The white-collar man next to him immediately said: "Auntie, in fact, you have nothing to disagree with. The speed of urban transformation is very fast now. The times are different, and old things will pass anyway. It is actually beneficial for you to sell them now. , there are too many people selling late, so you can’t afford the price, and you will lose money. The aunts and uncles of this place have worked hard for decades, and if it’s time to buy it, they just sell it at a low price , I think the two of you will also feel heartbroken, right?"
"this… "
Old Chen's wife had soft ears and hesitated, looking at his son, who had been here for the past few days, especially this man who could talk, didn't know what to say for a while.
"It's you little bastard again!! You come to encourage your mother while I'm not around? Get out! Get out!"
Seeing Lao Chen who came back suddenly grabbed the broom at the door, looking like a wicked door god, Lao Chen's son shrank his eyes and didn't dare to look directly.
As for the other white-collar man who accompanied and persuaded him, he frowned subtly.
Boss Luo just saw a glint of gloom in his eyes.
Old Chen had been kneading flour for decades, and when he erupted, he didn't have to be much worse than the young people nowadays. Without even thinking about it, he hit his son with the broom.
In a hurry, Lao Chen's son pulled the man next to him, said a few words quickly and thought about it, and ran out of the steamed stuffed bun restaurant in frustration.
