Chapter 32: A Strange Request
Close your eyes and make up for the experience of 'the smile on your face gradually froze and seemed to crumble into pieces in this almost frozen atmosphere...... Li Shengnan, who pushed the door in, felt like this.
For a moment, Li Shengnan felt that he was not facing an old lady and a group of cats, but a group of tigers and wolves.
"Auntie, I want to inquire, do you sell it in this yard?" asked Li Shengnanqiang with the courage to ask.
The old lady picked up her three-horned eyes and stared at Li Shengnan faintly for a long time, her voice was as short as at the beginning, and she simply refused neatly, "Don't sell it." ”
Hearing such an answer, Li Shengnan was not only a little disappointed in her heart, but breathed a sigh of relief, she forced a smile, and bent slightly at the old lady, "Then I won't bother you." ”
After finishing speaking, Li Shengnan hurriedly stepped out of the threshold, as if there were jackals, tigers and leopards chasing her behind her.
Li Shengnan didn't see it, and after she stepped out of the threshold, the strange white-haired old lady glanced at the herds of cats in the yard, and suddenly sighed coldly.
Closing the door and walking out quickly, Li Shengnan came to her senses, she felt a little funny, and a little inexplicable.
"Isn't it just a couple of cats and a weird old lady?
Li Shengnan moved his wrists and ankles to make sure that he could retreat in the mouth of the cats, and then plucked up the courage to walk towards the courtyard gate again.
Gently pushing open the door, Li Shengnan cautiously looked inside, and saw that the group of cats and the old lady were still staring at her, as if they hadn't moved, and the courage she had built up quickly withered half, but in order to rent a house, she could only grit her teeth and go in.
"Auntie, you don't sell this yard, so can you rent it out? We can negotiate the rent. Li Shengnan asked again with a smile on his face.
The white-haired old lady lowered her head and wiped her face, squinted her eyes and looked at Li Shengnan, her eyes looked at it for a long time, and she looked at Li Shengnan with a creepy look, and then she spoke, "Don't rent." ”
"Oh......"
Li Shengnan was really depressed this time, and when she met an old lady who didn't eat oil and salt, she felt a little tired.
In the next second, the white-haired old lady's words changed, and the situation immediately dissipated, "My house is not for sale or rent, but I can give it to you for free, but you need to promise me one condition." ”
Li Shengnan was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide and let out an 'ah', so frightened that the two cats that were closest to her who acted as door gods suddenly rushed out of the distance, the hair on his whole body exploded, and his tail was suffocated.
"Auntie, what did you just say?" Li Shengnan couldn't believe his ears.
As long as you are not stupid, no one will be willing to give away such a good yard for nothing.
Li Shengnan felt that she must have not rested well recently, and she had some tinnitus, which led to hallucinations.
The white-haired old lady looked at Li Shengnan's appearance, looked at it for a long time, pointed her finger at the cats in the yard and said: "If you promise me, after I give you this yard, you can take care of the cats in this yard for me, so that they can eat enough every day, leave a room for them to hide on rainy days, and build a stove for them in winter to ward off the cold, and I can give you this yard." ”
Seeing Li Shengnan's happy face, the white-haired old lady snorted coldly and continued: "But don't think that the old lady is so foolish, I'll give you a yard, you help me raise a cat, this clause needs to be written into the contract, although the old lady I moved away, but from time to time I will still come back to see my old guys, if you find that you lost them, then our contract will not count, old lady, I will definitely come back to get you out!"
Li Shengnan became interested, she thought that this white-haired old lady wanted to make some difficult request to go to the sky, but she didn't expect it to be so simple, just when she was about to pat her chest and agree, the string in her mind suddenly tightened, and the alarm bell sounded.
"How can this be done? I can only promise to feed the cats well, treat them well, feed them well, and have a place to hide in the rain and snow, but I can't promise these cats a lot. ”
"After all, some of these cats you raise are old, and they can't hide from birth, old age, sickness and death, and you look at these cats, some are on the roof, some are on the branches, if people want to run, I can't stop them, unless you promise me to help me catch all these cats into cages, I promise you to feed them carefully every day, and strive to feed these cats smoothly!"
The white-haired old lady was amused by Li Shengnan's words, she pursed her lips and said, "Don't worry, birth, old age, sickness and death are all normal phenomena, if it happens, one less will be one less." No one can stop the impermanence of life, let alone these cats. ”
"It doesn't matter if they get lost on their own, I'm sure as long as you feed them well, it's no wonder they're willing to run. Anyway, I've been feeding the old lady for many years, and no cat has ever run out and never come back!"
"But if you really get lost, that's fate, you can help me take care of most of them. The old lady breathed a sigh of relief, stood up with her bent back, and turned back into the room.
After a while, the white-haired old lady's short but more energetic voice came from the house, "Tie Dan'er, come and pick up your mother, now someone has taken over your younger brothers and sisters, hurry up and take your mother to your house!"
"What? Did you say that person had fallen in love with our house? You are blind to your old lady, when has your old lady looked at people and looked away? If she really has bad intentions, isn't there still you, a dog official of the common people?"
Li Shengnan: "...... "Auntie, you are so tough!"
When you say that about your son, aren't you afraid that your son will leave you in a nursing home when he goes out?
Wait, Li Shengnan was stunned for a moment, her eyes were full of surprise and she looked at the room where the white-haired old lady walked in, and her mind couldn't calm down for a long time.
In recent years, there are not many people who are willing to give a phone call to their homes, but I didn't expect this old lady to install one at home!
Thinking of the old lady scolding her son, Li Shengnan immediately sketched in his mind the image of a strange old lady with a rich family but a strange temper, and made this image perfectly coincide with the white-haired old lady.
"Yes, it's quite similar!" Li Shengnan was amused by what his brain had made up.
Unexpectedly, the white-haired old lady happened to come out of the house, and happened to see the scene of Li Shengnan's stealing fun, and the old lady was very arrogantly disgusted, "Isn't it just a broken yard? As for being so excited? You promised the old lady that I have memorized all the things I promised, maybe I will come back one day to see it!"
Li Shengnan nodded again and again, and agreed.
Although this courtyard was just a broken courtyard in the mouth of the white-haired old lady, for her, this was the place where dreams began.
Knock a door out of the outermost wall, face the outside, and then dig out a few windows, and a modern store will look like it?
