Qiansheng's voice was almost pleading, and he had never spoken to Qiao Ke in such a voice.
It's not an emotion he deliberately disguised to get Qiao Ke to open the door, but he really doesn't want to watch Qiao Ke continue like this. In the hundreds of years that he has known Qiao Ke, he has seen all the efforts Qiao Ke has made for this matter, and he really hopes that he can be liberated, otherwise he would not agree to Si Nan's request.
Such a separation of one door seems to separate two worlds. The three people outside the door waited for Qiao Ke's answer, but Qiao Ke remained silent inside the room, did not open the door, and did not say another word.
In the form of not knowing what was going on in the house, Qiansheng didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only walk back and forth at the door. Xiuhe couldn't help but want to break in several times, but was stopped by Sinan. Among the four people, Sinan was the only one who acted as if nothing had happened, just standing silently and waiting, as if he knew that the door would definitely be opened.
Sure enough, after about a stick of incense, the closed door finally made a "squeak" sound. Joco stood in front of the door with a tired face, nodded his head in greeting, and then made a gesture of invitation to them.
Xiuhe had been waiting impatiently, but considering that there were still old people in the house, he still held back his temper and didn't make a sound. Qiansheng wanted to explain to Qiao Ke as he walked into the house, but before he could speak, it was Qiao Ke who opened his mouth to Sinan first.
"I'm sorry about your friend. Also, thank you for not embarrassing Qiansheng. ”
Jocco's voice was crispy and soft, like a melt-in-your-mouth dessert, sounding very comfortable. Xiuhe, who was sitting on the sofa sulking, was attracted by this voice, temporarily forgot about the previous unpleasantness, and began to look at Qiao Ke carefully.
Qiao Ke, who turned into a human form, looks very delicate, if you describe it, it looks like a rich and weak talent in ancient times, but it is somewhat similar to the image of that Xu Xian. Coupled with the fact that he is a white snake, this can't help but make Xiu He feel that maybe this Qiao Ke is another son of Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian.
Sinan didn't have so much thought about repairing, and when he heard Qiao Ke's words, he nodded symbolically, and then said to Qiao Ke:
"That's not what we're here for today. ”
"I understand, I appreciate your willingness to help, however, I want to know why you want to help me. ”
Speaking of this, Qiao Ke's eyes were still only tired. His attitude was very calm, without the slightest surprise or excitement, as if he had given up on the matter. Seeing him like this, Sinan couldn't help but have a trace of sympathy in his eyes.
"Maybe I just want to hear a story. If you don't mind, I'd like to take a look at Ling ...... first."
Because he had heard Qiansheng mention this matter before, Sinan subconsciously regarded the old man as Qiao Ke's mother, but before he finished speaking, he realized that the matter had not been confirmed, and he said it a little abruptly, so he swallowed the remaining half of the sentence. However, Qiao Ke didn't seem to think that there was anything wrong with Sinan's words, and when he heard him say that he wanted to see the old man, he got up and led them to the door of the old man's room.
"The old man is too old to be frightened. Please also think about the consequences before you speak. ”
Jocke's words were half reminder, half threat. Then, he knocked on the door, and after getting the old man's permission, he brought Sinan and Xiuhe into the room.
"Grandma Xu, these are my two friends, and they have come to see you. ”
"It's Ake's friend, please take a seat. ”
After hearing Qiao Ke's voice, the old man put down the book in his hand, greeted Sinan and the others in an old and hoarse voice, and slowly moved to the front of the sofa with a wheelchair. She looked at the few of them laughing all the time, like old people who hadn't seen their children at home for a long time, but Sinan and Xiuhe only felt extremely surprised when they saw her for the first time.
Where is this still a living person, this is clearly a corpse that has been forcibly infused with yang energy to delay the decay time!
"Ake often mentions grandma to us, saying grandma, you are very good to him, and I happen to be fine with Xiaosi today, so I will come to see you. Ake is so lucky to have met someone as nice as you. ”
Xiuhe barely played the round, and his choked voice was full of bitterness. Fortunately, the old man's hearing was not so sensitive that he could not hear his tone, but when he was praising her, he smiled very happily and said:
"Oh, it's my old woman who is blessed, the child has not been around for the past few years, thanks to Ake taking care of me. When I see Ake, it's like seeing my own child, and I like it very much. If it weren't for Ake, I, an old woman, would not know how I would have spent my days. It's this kid, in order to take care of me, he refuses to find a girlfriend, the old woman I am anxious, every time I mention this to him, he perfunctory me. The two of you are his good friends, and I usually help him pay attention to him, and if there is a good girl, I will help him talk more. If the girl dislikes him and wants to take care of me, you can tell Grandma, and Grandma will never let Ake come again. Grandma is old, but she can't drag Ake down for the rest of her life. ”
"Grandma, look at you, why are you talking about finding me a daughter-in-law again. ”
Qiao Ke seemed embarrassed to divert from the topic, but the two people sitting next to him could see it very clearly, and his eyes were full of tears. Xiuhe really couldn't see such a scene, so he glanced at Sinan, and then pretended to be childish and said to the old man:
"Okay, I'll take care of this matter, don't worry, grandma, there are a lot of very virtuous and good-looking girls in the place where we work, and I will definitely help you keep an eye on Ake. But ah, if this girl dislikes you, don't say that Ake doesn't agree, even we don't agree, don't worry, we won't leave you. ”
"I'm already very happy that you can come to see me, an old woman. If only my sons and grandsons had such filial piety as you......"
The old man said, tears streaming down his face. Seeing this, Ah Ke hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and while gently wiping the old man's tears, he said seriously:
"Grandma, don't think too much, uncle also wants you to have a good life, so he is too busy to come back to see you. You can rest assured that as long as you have time, your uncle will definitely come back. You take a break and we'll prepare lunch for you, and we'll call you when it's ready. ”
"Go, go, you kids go play, leave me alone. ”
Carrying the old man back to the bed, covering the quilt, the three of them left the old man's room and returned to the living room. Xiu He had a stomach of questions to ask at this time, and he wanted to open his mouth as soon as he sat down, but before he could finish the first word, Qiao Ke opened his mouth on the side:
"I know you have a lot of questions, don't worry, let me finish the story first. ”
