After two tea hours, the thatched hut smelled of meat.

The old man was holding the steamed bun in his right hand and the broth in his left hand, and while gobbling it up, he didn't forget to raise his head and confirm to Xiao Wu repeatedly, "Xiao Wu'er, these... You really didn't steal it? ”

Xiao Wu scratched his head, his face was embarrassed, to say that he was stealing...... It doesn't seem that there is anything wrong, this bodyguard is not Lord Su Li's servant, he said that he let him go and get the food, but he was so anxious that he didn't react, so he went to get it directly.

Seeing this, the old chief stopped his mouth, put down the steamed bun, and pulled down his face, "Is it really stealing?" How did I teach you, how can you do stealing?! ”

Xiao Wu lowered his head in shame, and Fang Mu suddenly smiled: "Old man, don't blame Xiao Wu first. It was asked to take it from him, presumably with Lord Su Li's measurements, he wouldn't care about this little thing. ”

"Lord Su Li?"

Doubts flashed in the old chief's eyes, and Xiao Wu talked about his experience in the past three years and his current situation. When the old chief heard this, he immediately burst into tears, touched Xiao Wu and Datian's heads with satisfaction, and sighed:

"God forbid, let the two of you meet a good person like Mr. Su Li. By the way, the old decay can recover so quickly, thanks to this little brother's medicine, but unfortunately the old decay is penniless, I'm afraid I can't afford to pay it back! ”

"The old gentleman's arrogance is admirable, and although the elixir is good, it is not as good as a life."

Fang Mu looked sincere and smiled gently: "And that pill was given to me by my master, so it is naturally at my disposal, presumably even if my master knows, he won't say anything, don't worry, old man." ”

"Little brother is really a bodhisattva."

Seeing that Fang Mu and his grandfather were talking happily, the anger that had accumulated in Xiao Wu's heart was also temporarily suppressed, and he secretly said in his heart that this bodyguard looked very cold and difficult to get along with, but in fact, his heart was surprisingly good.

"Grandpa, you see it's almost dark, come back with me."

Xiao Wu said that he was about to help the old chief, but the old chief turned pale when he heard this, and waved his hand again and again, "You go back, I won't go there, so as not to block the rich man." ”

"Grandpa, what are you talking about?"

Xiao Wu frowned, and said urgently: "Grandpa, you are not wrong at all, why are you starving and suffering here, it is clear that Wang Li wants to drive you away, I don't want to let him get his wish, besides, don't you want to visit Lord Su Li?" That's me and Daejeon's benefactor, maybe she'll do justice to you! ”

Lao Li couldn't resist Xiao Wu, and finally returned to the small building with him.

"Ouch, what's that smell? It's sour and smelly, and you can smell it from afar! ”

Wang Li ran out of the yard with her nose covered, and when she saw the four Xiao Wu people coming back, her face immediately stretched longer than a horse's face, and her sharp voice pierced her eardrums.

"Xiao Wu! How did you carry him back! Stinks to death, hurry out and don't dirty the yard! ”

Xiao Wu was furious in his heart, and was about to step forward, but Fang Mu took the lead and said, "Mrs. Wang, it is my idea for the old man to come back, and it is also the idea of my master, do you have any objections?" ”

Wang Li's expression froze, and she said intermittently: "Even if it's ...... Your young lady can't ...... Take care of other people's family affairs, right? ”

Having said that, Wang Li had already moved out of the way and was no longer blocking the hospital door with her body.

Seeing this, Xiao Wu snorted coldly, walked into the courtyard with the old chief on his back, and immediately worked with Datian to bathe the old chief and change his clothes. Fang Mu glanced at Wang Li, who was standing on the side with resentful eyes, and then went up to the second floor quite apprehensively, and before he could make a report, he heard a pleasant and crisp voice like a yellow bird coming from the room.

"Come in."

Fang Mu's scalp was numb, he hesitated, obediently pushed open the door and walked in, seeing Su Li sitting on a chair with his back to him reading a book, he immediately walked a few steps briskly and stood behind Su Li.

This was the first time he had faced Su Li alone, and if he wasn't nervous, it would be impossible. Although she was the same age, Su Li's image in her heart was heavier than that of her eldest brother Fang Yuan, like a god in the sky who looked down on all beings.

"You're pretty good at making your own decisions." Su Li turned around and smiled lightly, "I've never said anything about letting the elder come here." ”

"Uh......"

Fang Mu smiled, he didn't know what to say, he was indeed a little too assertive.

"And the pill I gave you is used to restore your cultivation to strengthen your foundation. But you gave it to him? ”

Su Li's next sentence made Fang Mu stiffen with a smile, and stammered and explained: "I also saw that old man was weak and dying, so I ......."

"Well, it seems that you don't quite understand the value of that elixir." Su Li lowered his head again and looked at the scroll in his hand, "For the sake of his grandfather Xiao Wu, I don't care about you, but the cost of refining the pill is borne by you, and I will deduct it from your salary." ”

Fang Mu laughed dryly, "May I ask, what is the value of the elixir?" ”

"That's your salary for three years, go down."

After Su Li said it lightly, Fang Mu's face was full of grievances, and he almost cried, but thinking about it left and right, he found that he was eating, drinking, and living in Lili, even if he didn't have a salary, it didn't matter, but if he wanted to go out for a walk in the future, he would have to stretch out his hand to the eldest brother.

Mama Li sent Fang Mu away, looking at his listless appearance, she couldn't help but snicker. Miss really likes to tease these boys, and I don't know which one is the type that Miss likes, speaking of which, Miss is also sixteen years old, and she has reached the age of talking about marriage...... Time flies.

"Speaking of which, the old lady has also been gone for sixteen years."

Mama Li stood by the door, looking at Su Li, who was reading quietly in the room, and sighed in her heart, "If the little lady is still alive, she will be as old as Erya." ”

In the bathroom, Xiao Wu and Datian burned three buckets of bath water for Lao Lichang, almost took off Lao Lichang's three layers of dirty skin, and most of the firewood accumulated in the room was reduced at once, and Wang Li couldn't help but scold.

"The old immortal, as soon as you come back, you will waste so much firewood from me! When that young lady is gone, I'm not done with you! ”

Xiao Wu didn't have time to pay attention to Wang Li, happily changed his grandfather into the clothes he brought back from Qinghe City, and combed his grandfather's unkempt white hair.

Looking at his dress, the old man couldn't help but be happy on his face, "Xiao Wu'er, it shouldn't be rude for me to go to see Mr. Su Li, right?" ”

"No, no, no!" Xiao Wu smiled brightly, "Mr. Su Li is very good, even if you go in coarse cloth clothes, it doesn't matter, as long as it's clean." ”

"How's that going to work?" The old lieutenant looked at himself in the mirror, "Mr. Su is also the benefactor of the two of you, I have to be more solemn, Datian, you come and help me straighten my beard, how can I see people in this mess......"

The three of them were busy working, and there was a short and fat figure outside the door, it was Wang Dafu.

Seeing his father regain his spirits, Wang Dafu felt extremely complicated emotions in his heart for a while, and all kinds of words piled up in his heart went to his throat, and finally only turned into one word, "Dad!" ”

The old chief turned his head and saw Wang Dafu, his face immediately became gloomy, and after a few breaths, he snorted coldly: "Don't worry, even if you give me this place, I won't live!" I'm just here to meet Xiao Wu's benefactor, and I won't bother you. ”

Wang Dafu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, nodded without saying anything, and turned around and left the room.

Xiao Wu looked so angry that his lungs were about to explode, and shouted loudly: "I don't even care if my father lives or dies, Wang Dafu, are you still human?!" ”

The old lieutenant hurriedly grabbed Xiao Wu and sighed deeply, tiredness appeared on his wrinkled face, "Forget it, I'm tired too." I can't scold it, Xiao Wu, don't make trouble for that Mr. Su, just forget about it. ”

He would rather suffer a loss for himself than have any further changes in his own son's family. This is also retribution, if he hadn't had a bad vision and let his son marry Wang Li, he wouldn't have ended up like this today.

Looking at the old chief, Xiao Wu felt a pain in his heart, but in the end, he could only follow the old chief's wishes and no longer make trouble for Wang Dafu.

"Stepping on ......"

Accompanied by Xiao Wu, the old man walked upstairs, Mama Li pushed open the door, the old man who was in the sixtieth year saw the young girl in the house, he was stunned for a moment, looked left and right, and blurted out:

"What about Mr. Su, why aren't you upstairs?"

Xiao Wu hurriedly whispered: "Grandpa, she is Mr. Su, the youngest special lecturer of Qinghe Girls' School!" ”

The old lieutenant was completely stunned, seeing that Su Li was just in the prime of her life, and she could become a special lecturer of Qinghe Women's School?!

"Grandpa......"

Xiao Wu shouted twice, the old lieutenant suddenly came back to his senses, straightened his clothes and walked in, and was about to kneel, but Su Li stepped forward to support him, and the gentle voice like a spring breeze seemed to flow into the old man's heart.

"You are an elder, if it is said that it is the younger generation who should salute you, you can't afford to bow down to the younger generation."

Su Li's laughter immediately made the old man relax, shook his head and said: "There are masters in ancient times as teachers, Mr. Su can become a special lecturer in the academy, he must have real talent and real learning, and the old man is just a talent who has fallen off the list, how can he be compared with Mr. Su, if he worships, there is nothing wrong with it." ”

"The old man is really a talkative person." Su Li poured the tea with his own hands and asked the old chief to sit down, "Haven't you asked the old man for his name?" ”

The old chief was flattered and took it, and hurriedly said: "Little Lao'er Wang Wangniu, his ancestors have been in Dawang Village for generations, and when he was young, he went to a nearby town to try to become the mayor, and he is not as knowledgeable as Xiao Wu'er, so I am ashamed......"

"The old man is really modest, in fact, in addition to coming over to relax this time, the little woman has something to ask for, and I hope the old lady will help her."

Su Li said, her eyes signaled to Mama Li, and Mama Li immediately took Xiao Wu and Datian down.

Seeing that Su Li was so cautious, the elder couldn't help but mention in his heart, he originally thought it was strange how the special lecturer of Qinghe Women's School could come to such a poor and backward village, it turned out that he really had another purpose.

After pondering, the old man looked serious and said slowly: "Mr. Su might as well say something straightforwardly, Xiao Wu'er and Datian are thanks to Mr. Wang's care, as long as the old man can help, he will definitely help each other." ”

Su Li's smile was still gentle, "The elder doesn't have to be nervous, it's not a big deal." Lao Li has lived here for decades, and must be very familiar with the terrain, can you know some beautiful and inaccessible places, I want to build a courtyard to enjoy the beautiful scenery. After all, you can't borrow someone else's house every time you come over, right? ”

"I see!"

The old man suddenly realized, and immediately smiled: "Little Lao'er has no other skills, but if you want to be familiar with the nearby mountains and rivers, there is really no one in this vicinity who is comparable to Xiao Lao'er, I was a small worker in the medicine hall when I was young, and I went into the mountains every day to collect medicine." If you want to find a place, I'll take you tomorrow! ”

Su Li smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "This matter is not in a hurry, I have already instructed others to buy a map of the nearby mountains and rivers, and when the time comes, I only need the old chief to mark a suitable place, and someone will go to investigate, which will also save a lot of time." ”

"That's very good." The old lieutenant looked ashamed, "My old bones can't stand the toss, or Mr. Su is thoughtful." ”

"I'm also here to save time, so I don't have to be ashamed."

Su Li comforted her, drank tea quietly on the side and didn't speak. The old chief also learned to take a sip of tea, but he was secretly strange in his heart.

If you are just looking for a place to build a courtyard, is it necessary to dismiss others to keep secrets?
