Chapter 219 The wooden villain

Seeing Mrs. Xu's face turning a little pale, Su Tao suddenly became suspicious.

Could it be that someone is here to cause trouble for her?

After appeasing Mrs. Xu, Su Tao walked to the door with a wary look on her face.

"Who?"

Chi Sheng was startled when he heard a familiar voice coming from the door. How could this Miss Su be in Niuniu Village?

"Miss Su?"

Su Tao in the courtyard also heard Chi Sheng's voice, and then turned around and said to Granny Xu: "Grandma Xu, I know the people outside, and they are not bad people."

"Really? Since you know him, let him come in."

Mrs. Xu's face relaxed and she nodded in agreement.

After receiving Mrs. Xu's words, Su Tao opened the door.

Seeing that it was indeed Su Tao standing in the yard, Chi Sheng couldn't help but said curiously: "Why is Miss Su in the village?"

"I came to see a relative."

Su Tao opened the door and let them into the yard, then bolted the door carefully before returning to the yard and sitting down.

"What brings you here?"

Mrs. Xu looked at the two people, one large and one small, with some doubts.

"We came to the village looking for someone, and we wanted to ask for a drink of water at your house."

"Looking for someone?"

"Yes, we are here to find our old friends on behalf of our elders."

Chi Sheng said calmly.

"Looking for old friends..."

Mrs. Xu repeated this sentence with a dazed look in her eyes.

"Who are you looking for?"

Su Tao brought out two bowls of water and asked with raised eyebrows.

"Mr. Xu."

Su Tao paused as she handed over the water, and Po Xu's face turned even whiter.

"Why are you looking for Granny Xu?"

"Please give me a drink recipe."

of

After saying this, Chi Sheng paused for a moment before adding: "Grandpa Xu asked us to look for her and ask for the recipe for Qianjin Wine."

"He asked you to come?"

Mrs. Xu's voice trembled, and her outstretched hand also trembled.

Seeing Chi Sheng and Xiao Qi nodding, Mrs. Xu suddenly laughed twice. Su Tao wanted to help her sit down, but found that the old man's eyes were already full of tears.

"After all these years, he has never come to see me, but he asked you to come to me for prescriptions?"

As Mrs. Xu spoke, tears were already streaming down her face.

In her early years, she secretly came here with Xu Lang, thinking that the two of them could live a normal life as a man farming and a woman weaving, but she didn't expect that in the end she would end up with a heartless person.

Although she felt resentful after he left, she still had some luck.

What if he had to leave?

What if he just has something to hide?

What if, what if he comes back in another year?

Because of these lucks, she has been waiting in this village day and night since she was twenty-three years old.

Forty-three years later, she finally transformed herself into a silver-haired old woman, but all she waited for was for him to ask for a drink.

Grandma Xu was hunched over like that, her eyes which were a little cloudy due to her age shed big tears, leaving deep marks on the yellow mud.

Seeing Mrs. Xu like this, Su Tao felt very uncomfortable.

She met Mrs. Xu two and a half years ago. At that time, she had just arrived in Yancheng and could not settle in the city because she was a refugee. It was Mrs. Xu who felt sorry for her and took her back to live in Niuniu Village.

After spending more than ten days together, she saw Mrs. Xu sitting in the courtyard and staring at the door in a daze all day long. Even though she later had a property in Yancheng and wanted to take her to live in the city, she only shook her head and refused.

Now it seems that Mrs. Xu is afraid that the unfaithful man will not see her when he comes back, right?

Su Tao felt uncomfortable. When Chi Sheng said this, he also thought of Xu Sheng in Qingfeng Village.

Xu Sheng is seventy years old this year and has always been lonely in the village. This time he asked them to come here to look for someone. He was also a little curious.

After all, Xu Sheng had never told anyone what happened to him since he entered the village at the age of twenty-eight. Everyone thought that he chose to go to the mountains because he couldn't survive alone.

Only now did they know that he had a family in his early years.

Thinking of Xu Sheng's current appearance, Chi Sheng only felt a little sad.

There must be some misunderstanding between the two old men...

"You go, you want a drink, unless you let him come to see me on his own."

Mrs. Xu wiped her tears with a handkerchief and waved her hand to reject Chi Sheng's request.

She wanted to see what the heartless man looked like now.

Chi Sheng said nothing, but Xiao Qi on the side spoke: "Grandpa Xu can't go down the mountain."

Mrs. Xu was stunned, looked at Xiao Qi aside and asked, "Why?"

"Grandpa Xu has lost a leg and cannot go down the mountain. He will fall."

Xiao Qi said sincerely, and then added: "He cannot see anything in his eyes and cannot come to the village."

"Retribution...it's all retribution..."

Po Xu murmured, but her tone was not happy, only sad, and soon came tears that fell on the mud at her feet.

Su Tao helped Po Xu sit down and looked at Chi Sheng, hesitant to speak.

"Miss Su, just tell me if you have anything to do."

Seeing her staring at him, Chi Sheng sighed.

"Did that old man say anything else?"

Su Tao looked at Chi Sheng with a somewhat probing tone.

Chi Sheng paused and then said: "Mr. Xu only said that he couldn't bear with Granny Xu. If she had remarried a long time ago, let us pretend that it didn't happen. If, if Granny Xu still waits for him, then we will Let's say, say he's dead."

Grandma Xu's already ugly face looked even more haggard. Would she rather lie to herself that she was dead than take a look at herself?

Seeing Mrs. Xu's expression becoming more and more dazed, Su Tao hurriedly asked: "Then why Mr. Xu left in the first place, do you know?"

"He never said that."

Chi Sheng shook his head, and Su Tao looked a little disappointed. Mrs. Xu had been waiting for that person for decades. Although she felt it was not worth it, she still hoped to give Mrs. Xu a better answer.

"You go away, I won't give you the recipe for the wine."

Mrs. Xu had stopped crying at this moment, but she seemed to be ten years older than before and had no energy anymore.

She had worked so hard for decades, but in the end it was just wishful thinking.

"Mother-in-law, Grandpa Xu asked me to give this to you."

The atmosphere became cold, but Xiao Qi suddenly took out a small wooden figure from his arms and handed it to Po Xu.

The little wooden figure is only less than two inches tall. Because it has been touched by others for many years, it is no longer possible to see clearly the appearance of the little figure.

The little wooden figure was placed in her hand, and Po Xu's gray eyes gained a glimmer of light.

She tried to open her eyes wide and looked carefully at the little wooden man covered in oil.

After being lost in thought for a while, Mrs. Xu finally sighed and stood up shakily with her crutch.

"Just wait, I'll get the wine."

Mrs. Xu's back was more stooped as she walked, and her silver hair was slightly swayed by the wind, but the little wooden man was tightly held in her hand, like a pearl.

"Xiao Qi, when did Grandpa Xu, the wooden villain, give it to you?"

"He gave it to me quietly just before we left."

Xiao Qi looked at Chi Sheng, his face still looking calm and unbecoming of his age.

Xu Sheng likes children very much, maybe because he is older, or maybe because Xiao Qi is the dullest person in the village. He always tells Xiao Qi many stories.

In those things, there is always a girl.
