In the hall facing the far gate, there was an old man with a kind face, his face was already full of traces of time, and his eyes had endless vicissitudes, what surprised Liu Yi the most was that the old man's legs were gone, one of his arms was withered, and his body was extremely thin and on the verge of collapse.

Liu Yi quietly looked at the old man, and he could see tolerance, love, and history in the eyes of the old man.

Liu Yi bowed deeply, this old man is an elder worthy of admiration, Liu Yi can see from the wise eyes of this old man that this old man must have been very brilliant.

"Young man, come in and sit, the house is simple, don't dislike it!"

Smiling at Liu Yi, the old man made an invitation.

"Thank you!"

Liu Yi sincerely thanked him, he never thought that he would thank a person he had never met, and he never thought of thanking him as soon as he met, but his thanks came from the bottom of his heart, and he really wanted to thank him.

Because the old man was about to move the wheelchair and struggled to move a bench for Liu Yi with one hand, Liu Yi hurriedly stepped forward and directly got the bench to help the old man's body up.

"Grandpa, didn't I say that? Is there anything for me to do, if you are not in good health, don't move, how good is it for you to bask in the sun? ”

Hua Feng stepped forward and pushed the wheelchair to a place where there was sun, Liu Yi moved the bench to the side of the old man, the person who invited him must not be Hua Feng, but this old man, Liu Yi could feel it intuitively.

"Xiaohua, you go and prepare a meal, I have something to say to this young man!"

"Okay, grandpa, Brother Liu, you and my grandfather talk slowly, I recently got some mountain rats, and they taste very delicious. Usually grandpa doesn't let him kill, but today he has a mouthful! ”

Hua Feng was busy, and Liu Yi wanted to hear what the old man had to say.

"You're weird, why did I let Xiaohua invite you?"

The old man looked at Liu Yi, his face full of helplessness.

"Yes, I'm curious, I haven't seen such an antique master in China, and it's so young, it's because of curiosity that I came. If you have something to say, I'll listen! ”

Leo Yi nodded, he was very weird, if it weren't for curiosity, he wouldn't come. Not everyone can invite Lewy in this home. Liu Yi glanced at it roughly. There are a lot of porcelain in this house, and they are all very exquisite, some porcelain Liu Yi can't tell the truth with his eyes, and the feeling of ordinary people at first glance is real, because those porcelains also have the breath of the times.

The old man's body was very thin, and Liu Yi could even feel from the old man's body that the old man was dying. The old man's bodily functions were almost at their limit.

"Your old body may not be very good!" Liu Yi carefully observed the old man and spoke: "If it's not something important to tell me, then, your old man will take a break!" ”

"You see that?" The old man smiled: "I know my body, I can't do it anymore." Anyway, I can't survive for a few days, I'm worried about Xiao Hua, if I die, I'm afraid there will be no one to restrain me, I don't know what will happen in the future, I just asked him to invite someone who can see the true value of his porcelain, it's because of this matter, I want to ask you to help, don't let Xiao Hua go down the wrong path. ”

Liu Yi didn't speak, this is a trust from a dying old man, this kind of thing is not so easy to agree, from the old man, Liu Yi read the story.

"You better listen to me tell the story first, and then you make a decision after I finish the story!"

The old man knew that Liu Yi was embarrassed, and he had such a trust to a person who had just met, not everyone could accept it, and not everyone could do it, his request was a little abrupt, so he planned to finish the story.

"My father was originally a well-known porcelain master in Jingdezhen, not a master selected now, but a recognized master, in that chaotic war years, some island people invited my father in disguise, at that time they did everything to plunder Chinese culture, my father died at that time, several island people invited my father, my father did not, so he died, I still remember what my father said when he died, that is, he is dead, and he will never pass on his skills to the island country, that is to the country, Blasphemy against the nation. ”

The old man said a few words and gasped a little, his voice was a little low, and Liu Yi leaned closer, just to make the old man speak with less effort.

"After my father died, he handed over all the inheritance to me, and then they found me, I was caught, tortured and not human, with the help of the people in the village, I was rescued, my leg was broken, and I was missing an arm, at that time I thought of death, I wanted to pass on things and die, but in that era, no one had the heart to learn skills, especially ceramics, without a long time of exercise and learning, I couldn't learn at all, and at that time, there were not many people who had the heart to study, and they couldn't eat enough, Not to mention any skills. ”

"The reason why I was able to live was because there were many old people in the village below who had received the favor of my father at that time, and if they had food, I would have food, and in this way, I survived."

"In the years of the culture/revolution, I was criticized again, and things were basically destroyed, but fortunately, I just knew that I was a cripple and was criticized, at that time it could be said that life was worse than death, I survived, and I lived very well, since I was still alive in my eighties, I knew that I was able to live! I want to pass on things, I only have this thought, and then there are a lot of people in the village who have learned to make ceramics from me, and they went out after learning a little fur, and they received my favor, so I survived, and I live very well, I know that if I go out, maybe I will have the title of a lifelong master, and the quality of life can be better, but my body has been broken to this extent, and I have no idea of going out, I just want to find a real heir, Xiaohua is an orphan I adopted. ”

The old man is indeed very able to live, such a crippled body lived to be more than eighty years old, Liu Yi was in awe, this old man in order to pass on his father's skills, the suffering Liu Yi can imagine, such a person must be worthy of respect, there are many skills in Huaxia, and such an old man is inseparable, even if they die, they must pass on their skills.

"Xiaohua's talent is very high, very high, he has learned all my things, I haven't dared to let him go out over the years, you should also know why, I didn't tell Xiaohua about it, he doesn't know my business, now Xiaohua hasn't seen much of the market, and his mind is not very complicated, I'm afraid that he has seen a lot and been edified by society, he will embark on a road of no return, so, I want to entrust Xiaohua to you, since you can have such a high attainment in appraising antiques, your character should be good!"

Liu Yi knew what this old man meant, and it was estimated that this old man was also sick and rushed to the doctor. (To be continued......)
