"Old man......"

Hu Shijiu was worried that the old man was too sad, so he called softly.

"It's okay......" The old man opened his eyes and pushed the door open.

Although the room was covered with dust, what was surprising was that the tables and chairs inside were scattered all over the place.

It's like being viciously searched by someone.

"They don't even let go of here." The old man slapped his palm against the wall, obviously not expecting this to happen.

Since Gui Ru and A Ning left, in order not to be sad, the old man has not come to this room again.

At first, he had come to this small courtyard, but in any case, he did not have the courage to enter this room. Later, in order to take revenge, he devoted all his energy to rebuilding the drunkard building. Therefore, I never came here again.

Who would have thought that those brutes would actually destroy this place so far!

The old man leaned down tremblingly and slowly picked up the scattered furniture. Hu Shijiu hurriedly helped the old man put them back in order.

However, time may have passed too long, and those tables and chairs were already broken, and as soon as Hu 19 moved, they quickly withered and decayed, turning into pieces of fragile wood.

The old man waved his hand, signaling that Hu Shijiu didn't need to be busy anymore. Suddenly, his eyes rested on the ground on his right. Hu Shijiu followed his line of sight. A round object with almost no color lay silently there.

She hurriedly went over to pick it up, only to find that it was a bronze mirror. The old man was almost urgent, took the mirror and put it in his arms, and wiped it vigorously with his sleeve. As the dust on it fell, in the mirror, a weeping old man with open eyes and wrinkles appeared.

The old man looked at himself in the mirror in a daze, once upon a time, this mirror reflected the beauty of flowers, but now it has become a single shadow.

When was the time when this mirror reflected the elegance in its prime, but now it is the afterglow of the twilight.

Time, so cruel, but helpless.

There must always be something left behind to prove that this life is in vain.

The old man carefully put the mirror away close to his body. Turned around and saw Hu Shijiu on the side, perhaps, this is the will of heaven......

He glanced at Hu Shijiu deeply, "Child, no matter what you see later, don't panic." ”

"Yes."

What else will you see? Didn't the old man's wife and children die?

Hu Shijiu was confused, and when he was thinking wildly, he saw the old man walk to the left side of the room, turn around, face the window, measure it, and take two steps to the left. He knocked his hand against the wall and nodded slightly.

"Here, kid, help me!" The old man pointed to a wall with his hand.

"Here, push it down!"

Hu Shijiu exerted his strength to breastfeed, raised his hands and shouted, "Ah! ”

The whole person was plunged into darkness.

"Don't panic." The voice of an old man came to my ears.

The old man took out a piece of flint prepared in advance from his arms, and after rubbing it a few times, the flint made a "ding" sound, and sparks flew everywhere.

By this light, the old man quickly lit a torch on the wall.

The whole space suddenly brightened!

If it is a fox body at this moment, Hu Shijiu's tail will definitely explode!

Behind the wall that the old man had ordered her to push open, there was a long tunnel!

In the tunnel, every few steps, there was a wall lamp, and the old man lit it only the one closest to them.

"Come, kid." The old man put away the flint in his arms, and took out a freshly lit wind lamp from the corner.

Hu Shijiu followed the old man almost half-asleep and half-awake.

Gradually, light came out from the end of the tunnel.

The old man blew out the wind lamp and placed it around the corner.

Gradually, Hu Shijiu seemed to hear a voice of "hey, hey......

One, two, three, four...... More and more!

Countless neat and uniform voices converged into an ocean, shocking Hu Shijiu's eardrums!

In front of you, there is a new world!

The lights are bright, and under several huge cauldrons, there are shirtless guys who are constantly adding firewood and raising salaries inside!

Someone is busy pushing the car and driving to!

There are also people who spread layers upon layers of rice on the ground!

Someone else sprinkled unknown powder into the huge clay jars.

The tip of the nose is filled with an intoxicating, alcoholic aroma!

"Shopkeeper!" In front of him, someone walked up quickly, with a strong aroma of wine.

"Guys! The shopkeeper is here! The man shouted!

"Shopkeeper!" It's like the mountains are shaking!

Those busy guys stopped what they were doing and cheered and saluted the old man beside Hu Shijiu in unison.

"Okay, kids, it's all hard work!" The old man also burst into tears of excitement. These young guys are all orphans who have been begging in the capital from all over the country one after another after every natural disaster in Chen Guo over the years.

In this way, they were brought back by the old people one by one, and carefully cultivated, so that they could learn a skill and be able to support themselves.

Whenever he saw them, the old man felt that these guys were his own children!

"Li Da, the weather has just warmed up, don't change the children's clothes to thin ones too early. For each of them, make them a jacket. The old man looked at these guys who were in full swing and started to work, and said to the person who came to greet him and Hu Shijiu just now.

"Grandpa Xu! We're not cold! A boy passing by with a cart bared his white teeth and grinned.

Only then did Hu Shijiu know that the shopkeeper of the drunkard building was originally surnamed Xu.

As if he was afraid of the shopkeeper's disbelief, the boy lifted his clothes, revealing his strong chest inside. "Look! That's all I wear! ”

"Oops!" Hu Shijiu was so ashamed that he immediately covered his eyes.

The boy was stunned for a moment, looked at Hu Shijiu curiously, and saw that she was born with a beautiful Sven. Just as he was about to open his mouth to say something, he heard Li Da say: "Sun Fei, don't be lazy!" ”

The boy scratched his head, and pushed the cart away with a smile on his white teeth.

Hu Jiu put down her hand in a daze, she forgot that she was still dressed as a drunken man. Just now, it's a bit of a fuss.

The old man laughed. "Li Da, you go get busy first."

"Okay!" Li Da agreed neatly, and glanced at Hu Shijiu a few times with his spare eyes. This little brother is obviously dressed as a man, but he can let the shopkeeper personally bring the wine cellar. Don't......

After Hu Shijiu inspected the wine cellar with the old man, the old man couldn't help but look at her unfinished and full of interest.

"Ningning, ......"

"Shopkeeper, they all call me Shen Nineteen." Hu Shijiu blinked his eyes and said deliberately mischievously.

A-Ning, this name, should be an eternal pain in the old man's heart. Hu Shijiu was reluctant that every time the old man opened his mouth to call her, he couldn't help but recall the tragic scene of the year.

The old man understood Hu Nineteen's hard work, and smiled: "Okay, Nineteen." ”

"Do you know how to go back?"

Standing at the mouth of the dark tunnel, the old man asked.

Hu Shijiu thought for a moment, "I know! ”
