Chapter Twenty-Six: I Want to Take You as a Disciple
After Liu Xia followed Chu Gui to the community where he lived, he looked at the situation of the community, the buildings in this residential area are all six stories high, and the garage of the storage room is on the ground, Chu Gui's family lives on the second floor, and his family's storage room happens to be downstairs in his house.
Chu Gui's house is very close to the gate of the community, and when he saw the artificial fountain spraying water at the gate, as well as the water pipes for watering flowers and plants in the distance, Liu Xia muttered in his heart, "God help me." ”
After finding the storage room of Chu Gui's house, Liu Xia looked upstairs, at this time, the living room of Chu Gui's house was lit up, although the sound above could not be heard, but the glass of his balcony was refracted with colored light, according to these, Liu Xia judged that although Meng Jiao was watching TV in the living room, the volume of the TV was very small.
After observing the situation, Liu Xia put his hand next to Chu Gui's ear and whispered something to him?
I don't know what Liu Xia said? When he finished speaking, Chu Gui looked at Liu Xia suspiciously: "Can this really work?"
"Surely. After speaking, Liu Xia pushed Chu Gui to the front, and after being pushed out, Chu Gui looked back at Liu Xia in disbelief, looking at Liu Xia's urging gesture, he hesitated, then gritted his teeth and walked straight towards his storage room.
Opening the door of the storage room, Chu Gui walked in, put the cardboard boxes containing wine inside, and after vacating a passage, he found a few more books, took out a lighter from his pocket, lit the books, and gently put the burning books on the cardboard boxes, Chu Gui gently exited the storage room.
After locking the storage room from the outside, Chu Gui quietly retreated to Liu Xia's side, not long after he left, smoke came out of the storage room, at this time, Liu Xia rushed out, held his hand to his mouth, and shouted at the top of his voice: "It's on fire, hurry up, everyone, come and see, whose storage room is on fire......"
At this time, it was dark night, and there was silence around, so Liu Xia's shouting was particularly loud, and when he heard Liu Xia's shout, the surrounding people gradually gathered around, and the residents upstairs also turned on the lights to look down.
Meng Jiao, who was watching TV in the living room, heard the shout, curiously walked to the balcony and looked down, and then, her face changed suddenly, because she saw that the smoke was coming out of her storage room, and when she saw this, she hurriedly ran downstairs.
Ran to the side of the storage room, saw that there was already a faint fire in the storage room, Meng Jiao was so frightened that the six gods were gone, Meng Jiao asked people to dial 119, while shouting loudly, just when she was flustered and at a loss, suddenly, Chu Gui ran towards the storage room.
I saw Chu Gui open the door of the storage room, and ran into the storage room with thick smoke, seeing this, Meng Jiao shouted: "You are an old immortal, can you not make a mess at this time, if you burn out three long and two short, I won't serve you......"
When Meng Jiao yelled at Chu Gui, Chu Gui ran out of it holding an iron box, at this time Chu Gui was smoked black, with a lot of snot and tears, after coming out, Chu Gui stuffed the iron box into Meng Jiao's arms and said: "This is all my son's savings, you must take care of it." ”
After saying this, Chu Gui didn't care about saying more, turned around and threw himself into the firefighting, and at this time, Liu Xia came out from the side at the right time, he held a water pipe that was flowing with clear water, and called on everyone to put out the fire together.
The fire is not big or small, everyone was busy for more than half an hour to extinguish, Liu Xia organized everyone to extinguish the fire, while secretly observing Meng Jiao, just when everyone was busy fighting the fire just now, Meng Jiao took advantage of the chaos to leave the scene, more than ten minutes later, she quietly returned to the scene, but after coming back, her face was full of unwillingness.
Extinguishing the fire and cleaning out the things in the storage room, it was at this time that Chu Gui's son Chu Ming returned home in advance, and after figuring out what had happened, he parked the car aside and hurriedly went up to sort out his things.
Listening to the neighbors mention Chu Gui's performance when fighting the fire, Chu Mingcai paid attention to his father this time, and when he saw Chu Gui's smoked black face, he said distressedly: "Dad, things will burn when they are burned, what if you have three long and two short me?"
Speaking of this, Chu Mingcai glared at his daughter-in-law: "When our dad went to put out the fire just now, why didn't you stop a little?
"I'm ----- me----- I'm looking at this box, your dad made me look at it. After arguing, Meng Jiao put the box into Chu Gui's arms, and said with a pun: "Dad, I really underestimate that you are old." ”
took the iron box and weighed it, Chu Gui opened the corner of the box, and saw the pile of banknotes inside, he breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the unwilling expression on his daughter-in-law's face, he sighed, and didn't know how to answer.
Stuffing the iron box into his son's hand, Chu Gui walked towards Liu Xia: "Young man, thank you." ”
"I can only help you for a while, but I can't help you for a lifetime. Liu Xia was a little helpless in his tone.
"I know, alas...... Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, now I don't need to worry about it, although my daughter-in-law doesn't like me, but she is sincere to my son, as long as they can live happily, I don't need to get involved, it's no longer the time to raise children and prevent old age.
I'm getting older, I can't help my children anymore, and if I stay any longer, I'll become a burden to my children. I'm a rural person, and it's really a bit inappropriate to live in the city. After today, I'll go to the nursing home, maybe after going there, I'll be able to clean up a little bit. Chu Gui said lonely.
"In fact, raising a child can still prevent old age, but it depends on how the son you raise is. Refuted Chu Gui's words, Liu Xia put down the water pipe, patted the dust on his body, and said to Chu Gui with a smile: "Okay, your matter has been resolved, and there is nothing for me here, I'll go back." ”
After speaking, Liu Xia turned around and left the community, looking at Liu Xia's back, Chu Gui stood in place for a while, and whispered silently: "Thank you!"
After such a delay, Liu Xia went home late, looked at the night, he returned to the road, and planned to continue running home, but at this moment, a playful voice came from behind him: "Little guy, your brain is very smart, you can actually think of this way to help Chu Gui." ”
"Who?" turned around and looked back, and after Liu Xia saw the appearance of the person who spoke, there was a trace of surprise on his face: "You ------ your ----- old lady----- why are you here?
It turned out that the person who spoke from Liu Xia turned out to be an old man, that was the old lady he met in the state city, looking at the smiling expression on the old lady's face, Liu Xia was a little nervous, he looked left and right, and saw that there was no one around, he looked at the other party vigilantly: "Why are you looking at me like this?
"Why are you so nervous?" Looking at Liu Xia, the old lady said with a smile: "Boy, I see that you are amazing, intelligent, and you will be a criminal investigation wizard in the future, and the responsibility of maintaining justice and peace in the universe will be handed over to you in the future, I have a fate with you, and I plan to take you as an apprentice, I don't know what you think?"
