When the porridge was brought to the room, the old man was very face-saving, drank two large bowls in a row, and kept praising and saying, "It's delicious, it's so delicious." ”

Of course, Lin Yu didn't think that the white porridge that had not been added anything could taste good, but whether the old man really liked it or not, she did drink a lot, and the complexion on her face also looked ruddy because of the replenishment of energy.

Xiaohua, who had been watching from the sidelines, saw that the owner finally had something to eat, let out a meow, and then quickly pounced on the dead mouse on the ground. This move made Lin Yu and the old man laugh out loud.

Seeing the old man's expression a little relaxed, Lin Yu tried to ask, "Grandma, when I came back this morning, I met those two policemen, and they told me something." Are you, did you really give all your savings to the kidnappers?" The reason why Lin Yu asked this was to find an excuse to open the topic and let the old man face up to the fact that he had been defrauded, and on the other hand, he wanted to know if the old man really had no money left.

The old man's face sank for a moment, and then he nodded, "They want you to persuade me to report the case, 300,000 is not a small amount, and there is only so much I can come up with." ”

Listening to the old man, if she had more savings, she would still give all the money to the kidnappers, so it can be inferred from this that the old man really has no extra money to keep for herself.

Lin Yu sighed silently, "Have you ever thought that the call you received might really be a fraudster?"

The old man turned his head to look at the little flower beside the bed, which was now enjoying his mouse feast, and the old man's eyes flashed with determination, "That voice is my son, my son, he won't lie to me." ”

The room fell silent, only Xiaohua was eating rat meat, and in its world, it seemed that the owner was more important than himself. Once it is confirmed that the owner has food, Xiaohua will let go of her appetite and eat it.

Lin Yu felt that the old man might be a little delirious, or at least he didn't have the judgment of ordinary people, if according to the eyes of an ordinary person, even if he couldn't tell the truth for a while and was deceived, he would wake up under the persuasion of others afterwards. But the old man is stubborn like Xiaohua, in her world, the son will not lie to his mother, just like in Xiaohua's world, food must be shared with the owner.

After saying that, a wrinkled smile appeared on the old man's face, "Child, do you also think that I have been deceived? Don't worry, just wait for my son to come back and ask him." ”

Lin Yu's heart moved, now it seems that the old man's son is the key to the problem, only when her son tells her that he has not been tied, the old man will probably believe it. Lin Yu hurriedly asked, "Then, when does your son usually come back?"

As soon as he mentioned his son, the old man's eyes were full of expectation, "My son is a soldier of the People's Liberation Army, and he can't usually go home casually, he called me last time and told me that he will come back when the Chinese New Year is celebrated this year..."

......

While the old man was resting, Lin Yu and the man walked outside the wooden house, although the man had a sincere attitude of remorse, but he had to admit that the old man's current tragedy was caused by the man.

Lin Yu sat under the eaves, looking at the rushing stream, and the quiet residential buildings in front of him, not far away there was a gray-haired old man who was watering the flower pots in his house with a kettle, and there was not a single pedestrian in the deep alley, but it was full of life everywhere.

"Do you think your sins have been atoned for?" Lin Yu said as he turned his head to the air.

There was actually a soul standing there that was invisible to ordinary people, and in the face of death's questioning, the man did not know how to answer. Indeed, his original intention of coming here was to atone for the old man's sins, but he didn't do anything more than kneel in front of the old man's bed and help the god of death boil a pot of white porridge.

But what is the point of kneeling and a pot of white porridge? It is hard to imagine how the old man will live in the future, and what he can make up for is too limited, and this is indeed not atonement. What makes the man even more unrelieved is that the old man still doesn't believe that he has been deceived, she doesn't have any hatred for herself, and even insists that it is her son who is talking to her.

The man squatted down in distress, his heart felt even more guilty than before he came here, he grabbed his head and said, "Lord Death, what can I do to make my sins less?"

Seeing the man's appearance, Lin Yu knew that he couldn't leave the world with peace of mind now, since he was already involved, he couldn't watch the old man go on like this, at least, let her son know about his mother being deceived.

"I will take her to Yangcheng to meet her son," Lin Yu thought about the next step in his heart, "You have to remember that this is what I did for the elderly, not for you." ”

The man nodded like garlic, and now only let the old man's son deal with this matter, at least her son should give the old man some living expenses after he knows it, so that she can meet the basic expenses of living.

Lin Yu slept in a nearby hotel for one night, and since he told the old man that he was a college student volunteer, there was no reason to live in her wooden house, although Lin Yu saw that the old man had many empty rooms.

Early the next morning, Lin Yu hurried to the old man's house after breakfast, and today he had a very difficult task, which was to persuade the old man to go to Yangcheng with him. Lin Yu wasn't sure if the old man was willing to leave here, and in her words, the old man had been wanting to stay at home and wait for his son to come back for the New Year.

Porridge in breakfast shops is very common, Lin Yu bought some porridge, buns, and fritters by the way, and if the old man has a good appetite, he can also eat a little other things.

Walking into the room, the old man was still resting on the bed, and Xiaohua was still sitting on the bed and watching the old man as she had done yesterday, but there was another animal next to him, a sparrow less than the size of a fist.

Xiaohua came to give food to the owner again, Lin Yu's love for this flower cat in his heart has increased a lot, he walked over and touched Xiaohua's head and said, "I bought something for grandma to eat today, this sparrow that you have worked so hard to catch, you can enjoy it yourself." ”

When Lin Yu said this, he lifted the transparent plastic bag in his hand, and the tempting fragrance wafted out of it earlier, Xiaohua seemed to understand this time, and with a meow, she quickly pounced on the sparrow lying on the ground.

"Grandma, are you hungry, get up and have some breakfast?" Lin Yu saw that the old man's complexion was much better than yesterday, "Today, let's go to Yangcheng, what do you think?"
