Chapter 230: Flower Cat

This building is also made of wood, it looks a little old, Lin Yu saw that the door was closed, so he knocked lightly on it a few times, and said, "Excuse me, is anyone at home?"

There was a coughing sound from inside, and then he replied in a somewhat hoarse voice, "The door is not closed, just come in." ”

Lin Yu could hear that the other party was an old man's voice, but the current situation seemed to be sick? He pushed open the door, and the wooden door creaked as it slowly opened.

The light inside is a little dim, but after a little adaptation, I can still see clearly, there are not many things in the house, but all the items are neatly arranged, even the teacups are reversed, carefully covered on the tray underneath.

There were antique illustrations pasted on both sides of the hall, Lin Yu took a brief look, and found that it was the picture of the ancient ladies and the four gentlemen of Meilan, Zhuju. It seems that the old lady is still a very tasteful person, at least the tea sets, illustrations, and a few potted plants are simple and elegant.

"I'm in the room, come here," the old lady said, perhaps fearing that the visitor would not find a place.

There are more rooms in the wooden house, Lin Yu is indeed a little unable to find the direction, hearing the old man's voice again, Lin Yu hurriedly answered, and walked quickly through the hall towards the room inside.

This bedroom is also quaint in style, with both the dressing table and the wooden bed carefully carved, which is no longer found in modern shopping malls. The old lady was indeed lying on the bed, her face was a little pale, and when she saw Lin Yu appear, she turned her head and asked, "Child, are you, are you looking for me?" The old lady found that she didn't know this guest, he looked like he was about twenty years old, and none of her friends and relatives had anyone of this age.

Lin Yu couldn't help but be touched when he heard the old man call a child, this kind of cordial feeling reminded him of his grandmother. For a period of time, because of diabetes, my grandmother was also lying on the bed with weak limbs and pale face, and the picture in front of her made Lin Yu feel a little compassionate.

"Yes, grandma, I'm here to visit you, college student volunteers," Lin Yu had an idea, and casually made an excuse, anyway, orphans and the elderly are the objects of the college students' association.

The doubts on the old man's face quickly disappeared, and he was replaced by a kind and kind smile, "Child, thank you for your hard work, today is the weekend, right?" ”

Lin Yu smiled and shook his head, he saw that there was a cat sitting at the foot of the old man's bed, the cat didn't seem to be too afraid of people, just turned his head to look at Lin Yu, and continued to stare at his owner lying on the bed.

"Grandma, what's the name of your cat?" Since he pretended to be a volunteer, Lin Yu still had to find some topics to chat with the old man, and established a more intimate relationship, so as to further find out what happened to the old man after he was cheated of his money. The old man is now sick in bed, is it because all his savings have been cheated away, so he can't bear such a big blow?

"It's, you can call it Xiaohua," the old man's expression seemed to become relaxed when he talked about his cat.

"Little flower?" Lin Yu tried to bark at the cat that was still sitting on the ground at his feet, the hair on its body was yellow and white, and it was indeed a flower cat just like its name.

Xiaohua turned her chubby head and meowed at Lin Yu in response, her two round eyes as clear as mountain spring water.

A knowing smile instantly appeared at the corner of Lin Yu's mouth, this flower cat looks very smart, and at the same time likes to be close to people, which should be related to the owner who raised it.

The black eyes of the flower cat looked at Lin Yu, and the cute expression of harmlessness of humans and animals melted him at once, Lin Yu naturally picked up the flower cat on the ground, gently placed it on his thigh, and stroked its smooth hair with his palm.

Lin Yu had never had a pet before, but after getting along with the little wolf, he developed a special affection for the pet, even if it was the first time he saw Xiaohua, he didn't have any fear.

Xiaohua should have been often touched by the old man, so it didn't feel uncomfortable at all in Lin Yu's arms, but narrowed its eyes slightly, enjoying Lin Yu's touch very comfortably.

"Xiaohua is very well-behaved, it's the only one who accompanies me now," although the old man's face was still full of smiles, there was still a slight loss in her tone, and she inadvertently turned her eyes to look at her bedside.

Lin Yu noticed that there were two photos on the old man's bedside, they were all set up with a wooden photo frame, the left was a family of three, the old man stood with his husband when he was young, their son stood in front of the two people with a bright smile, and the photo on the right was the flower cat in Lin Yu's hand, which was much fatter than the photo.

An old man who lives alone and a cat who accompanies her, such a situation in her old age has to be said to be a little bleak, just like now, the old man is sick and lying in bed, and only the flower cat sitting on the foot of the collapse guards her.

Lin Yu put Xiaohua on the ground again, and he asked with concern, "Grandma, what is your illness, do you want me to take you to the doctor?" When Lin Yu said this, he glared at the man standing next to him, and he didn't have to think about it to know that the old man's current illness in bed was more or less related to the man who cheated her.

Although the man had already stood in this room, the old man couldn't see him, and when he saw the old man's appearance again, he was still very haggard and bedridden, and the man didn't even dare to raise his head, as if he was afraid of being seen through by the old man's sight.

As the man guessed, the old man's family was not wealthy, and although her house was very large, it was built by craftsmen many years ago, and it was not a commercial house that could be sold in the city at all. The furnishings in her home are probably also there when she got married, no electrical appliances have been added, there is only a very old black and white TV in the hall, I don't know if it can be turned on now, and there is only a lamp on the dresser in the room.

It must be not easy for such a family to accumulate 300,000 yuan, and the elderly should usually be frugal, except for what they and the cat eat, there may be no other expenses. That money is ugly to say, it should be the old man's coffin book.

The man remembered the scene when he called the old man to be his mother in a hoarse voice and asked her to hurry up and use the family's money to save him from fire and water, and the old man agreed without saying a word, as if 300,000 was not a big number for her. Now in this simple and old wooden house, the bleak scene of a man and a cat makes the man's face cry without tears.
