Chapter 255. issue
"You're really ashamed to say that you can trample me under your feet just by asking a few words? Okay, you ask, I'll see how you trampled me under your feet! Tian Chaowen said directly disdainfully.
"Grandpa Hu! I have a few questions for you, and I hope you can answer them truthfully! Li Rui no longer paid attention to Tian Chaowen and looked directly at the old man in a wheelchair.
"Just ask!" The old man had already been explained by Song Mingliang just now, and Tian Chaowen had also asked a lot of information and was already familiar with the process, so he nodded directly and said.
"Grandpa Hu, do you have a habit of wasting food!" Li Rui asked suddenly.
The seventeenth layer of hell punishes those who waste grains, and this waste is not wasted once or twice, but a regular waste that will be punished, so Li Rui will ask the gardener if he has such a habit.
"Hehe, the habit of wasting food? Little guy, you may not know the people who came from our time, in that era we couldn't even eat, how could we have the habit of wasting food? Although I didn't understand why Li Rui asked this, the gardener still answered truthfully.
"Grandpa Hu, my second question is whether you have ever bullied the people?" Li Rui selectively asked the second question.
"Oppressing the people? Hehe, I myself am the people, how can I oppress the people? What a wacky question you little guy has! The gardener replied again.
"Grandpa Hu, don't be angry with my third question, have you ever stolen or embezzled?" Li Rui asked this question head-on, because this question is easy to arouse the disgust of the other party and will easily offend people.
"Li Rui. Uncle Hu has been working in our Mingyuan for more than 50 years, and he is said to be a gardener. But we all regard him as our dear elders! I and Tingting's mother grew up under Uncle Hu's watch, as well as these three little rabbit cubs and Tingting. Uncle Hu is also very caring. Sure enough, as soon as Li Rui's question came out, Qiao Mingliang stood up and said very strictly.
In fact, when this gardener was pushed out, Li Rui could feel that this gardener's status in Mingyuan was not ordinary, because the three brothers of the Qiao family cared about him from the heart, which could make the status of the three sons of the Qiao family, who cared about him, average.
"Uncle, I have no ill will towards Grandpa Hu. I have my own reasons for doing this, and I'll give you an explanation later! Li Rui hurriedly explained to Qiao Mingming.
"Xiao Rui, what I said just now is not only about Uncle Hu's status in Mingyuan, but also about telling you, Uncle Hu will never do what you said!" Qiao Mingliang answered directly for the gardener at this time.
"Uncle, this is related to my judgment of Grandpa Hu's situation, I need him to say it himself!" Although Qiao Mingliang made a guarantee, Li Rui still hoped that the gardener would say it himself. Because when the gardener answered, Li Rui's divine sense had already shrouded the gardener, and the authenticity of the matter could be guaranteed.
"Okay, I said. My old Hu has lived so big. I've never done anything like stealing chickens and dogs, and as for the corruption you mentioned, that's even more so! The gardener listened to Li Rui's words. Immediately replied simply.
"Grandpa Hu, I hope you don't get angry. I have two more questions to ask! Li Rui said apologetically.
"It's okay, you're treating me too. Just ask! The gardener did not mean anything to be dissatisfied.
"Uncle Hu, do you like to eat meat?" Li Rui asked.
"I like it, my Lao Hu likes to eat meat the most in his life, especially the braised pork made of pork belly, Lao Hu and I can eat a bowl at a meal. Alas, this is also because I didn't have anything to eat before, and I was hungry! The gardener replied with a sigh.
"Grandpa Hu, now I want to ask you one last question, this is related to your own life, I hope you can answer my question carefully and honestly, are you a monk?" Li Rui asked seriously and sternly again.
"Monks?" Hearing Li Rui's last question, the gardener's expression suddenly froze.
Seeing the florist's expression, Li Rui immediately had an answer, and at the same time, he almost had an answer to his guess in his heart, since he already had an answer, then Li Rui had also thought about the follow-up work, but he was still hesitating, whether to wait until the birthday banquet was over, and quietly treat the florist, or treat the florist in this kind of public.
"Li Rui, how did you know that Lao Hu was a monk? Even Mingliang and Mingjuan don't know about this matter! At this time, Qiao Lao suddenly asked strangely.
"So Grandpa Hu is really a monk?" Li Rui asked again with certainty.
"Yes, when I met Lao Hu, he didn't seem to be ten years old, dressed in a tattered road, lying on the side of the road and dying of hunger. Later, I took him in, because the two of us were not much different in age, so I wanted him to be my scholar at that time, but he didn't like to read, he only liked to deal with those flowers and plants, and I had no choice but to leave the garden to him to take care of, and he did it all his life, and he didn't even find a daughter-in-law. Qiao Lao said recalled.
"I just passed my ninth birthday that day, and the chef gave me half an extra vegetable nest. I was eating happily, when suddenly there was a loud gunfire outside, and the master hid me in the water tank and ran out, and I waited alone in the water tank until I was hungry. Finally I couldn't take it anymore and climbed out of the tank. But I was frightened by the scene outside, and there were corpses all over the ground, and the master was lying in a pool of blood. I was really scared, I ran out ...... desperately! At this time, the gardener also suddenly said in a reminiscent tone, and the corners of his eyes were already soaked with tears.
"The Taoist temple where Lao Hu is located was slaughtered by little devils." Old Qiao's voice became much lower.
"Damn little devils!" Li Rui is not an angry youth, but he has never had any good feelings for the little devil.
"Okay, let's not talk about the little devils. Li Rui has asked everything you should have asked, is it time to tell us the answer! After all, today is a day of great joy, and it is not suitable to talk about that sad and indignant history, so the old Chinese medicine doctor suddenly interjected.
The words of the old Chinese medicine doctor immediately directed everyone's attention and eyes to Li Rui again. Everyone looked at Li Rui curiously, they all wanted to hear Li Rui's explanation, and they all wanted to know why Li Rui asked so many questions.
Li Rui was also thinking about it at this time, thinking about how he should tell the matter clearly, after all, this matter is too weird, Li Rui is afraid that if he says it, he will not only not solve the problem, but will also get himself into it.
"Li Rui, if you have anything, don't worry and say boldly!" Qiao Lao may have also seen Li Rui's concern, so he encouraged him loudly.
"Okay, then I'll say ......!" Li Rui gritted his teeth and finally made a decision. (To be continued......)
