Chapter 285: Thanksgiving
The air seemed to freeze at that moment, and Liu Yunjiu looked at me with a complicated gaze and was silent for a long time.
"What? Touched? I glanced at him, shook my head, and said, "No need, I don't have to do it willingly." Actually, I fell in love with the old man, and he obviously didn't live until he lived, so it was natural to save him. ”
"Not so." Liu Yunjiu's mind seemed to have become a lot clearer all of a sudden, and he almost didn't think about it, so he denied my words, "You also said it, you and I know the reason why the old man suffered this catastrophe." Maybe the old man didn't have a lifespan, but because of my influence, a lot has changed. Little coffin, you can't deny my claim, can you? Actually, the old man has what happened today, all because of me! When his life expectancy is up, you are reducing your own life and increasing his lifespan, am I right? ”
"See? It's still better than before! In the past, you didn't speak so aggressively! I said, turning my head away from him.
Liu Yunjiu saw that I didn't want to say anything, so he didn't force me anymore.
He walked slowly to the old man's bed and slowly knelt down.
The rooster crows three times, and the sky is bright.
Almost everyone in the Liu family came back early before the rooster crowed, and they crowded outside the house early. There are also sharp-eyed people, who have already seen Liu Yunjiu kneeling in front of the old man's bed.
But seeing that I was sitting there properly, even if they had some doubts in their hearts, they didn't dare to break in directly and ask questions. And they waited quietly until dawn.
When the first rays of sunlight shone into the room, the conjuring lamp, which had been burning all night, flickered twice and went out in the warm daylight.
I glanced at the chopsticks that were still steady, and I could finally smile with joy on my face.
On the bed, the old man seemed to get up every morning, turned over and sat up, and Liu Yunjiu, who was still kneeling in front of the window, was so shocked that he retreated again and again, and after a few steps, he suddenly reacted, and the old man came to life.
After a brief silence, there was a cry of joy outside.
Liu Yuncong rushed in, went straight to the old man, bent over, and said hurriedly: "Dad, are you okay?" What do you think? Is there anything you're still feeling comfortable with? ”
Old Man Liu looked at me, and I smiled faintly at him.
Liu Yuncong didn't get a response for a long time, and thought that there was something wrong with the old man, so he hurriedly checked up and down. Inevitably slapped away by the old man, he was stunned for a moment, but said with a smile: "Dad, you can scare us to death!" ”
"My old man is really dead!" Old man Liu said, shook off Liu Yuncong's hand to help him, and walked over to me. I raised my head and met the old man's gaze, "If my old man wasn't so confused and hadn't guessed wrong, then this person in front of me was my savior?" Please bow down to the old man! ”
"Hey, don't mind, don't mind, can't afford it, can't afford it!" I hurriedly stood up and hugged the old man.
While he's happy, I can just put up a shelf a little. But after all, he is a righteous man and gentleman all his life, he acts rightly, sits upright, and has been on the battlefield, sweating and bleeding for peace. Such an old-timer, it's too late to respect, if I really dare to let him bow to me, I'm afraid I'll lose my life.
Seeing that I insisted on reluctantly, the old man was no longer reluctant, he pointed to the jar next to him, turned his head and asked Liu Yuncong: "Boss, which one of these turned out of my wine cellar?" I can't even bear to touch it! ”
Liu Yuncong saw that the old man had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "Dad, it was the little coffin master who asked him to take it out, saying that he wanted your favorite jar of wine to save your life!" ”
"Oh, it turned out to be the little coffin!" Old Man Liu smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed, waved his hand and said, "Since the little coffin master asked me to take it, then I won't say anything." The little coffin master likes it, so I'll stay here for lunch today! The old man is with you, this jar of wine, we all drank it today! ”
I'm not an alcoholic, I don't drink alcohol at home, and I don't buy cigarettes to smoke. Only when someone asks me to come to the door to help, I will drink the toast and smoke the toast. It's the same this time, although I don't like to drink myself, but firstly, it is indeed a rare good wine, and secondly, the Liu family will give me wine in order to thank me, so I naturally will not refuse.
The driver who came with me tried to get in the way, yelling for me to go back early. Of course, no one could be persuaded by the slightest objection from him. Before I could speak, he had already been collectively scolded by the Liu family.
I don't have any contradictions with him, and I can understand his anxious feelings. It's just that the yin qi doesn't dissipate in a few days, and I have nothing to do when I go back now. Of course, unless Cui Rongguang is willing to drag the entire research institute to die together, the people in the research institute are also willing to accompany him to dedicate themselves. Then I don't mind going back in a few days to help them clean up the mess, even if it's a tribute to their bravery.
In the morning, I couldn't say anything more to the old man, and the juniors of the Liu family surrounded him non-stop, and I was happy to see them as a happy family, and I didn't want to be involved as an outsider.
It's just that when it was time for lunch, the old man was completely annoyed by them, and when the wine and food were ready, he blasted out all the other idle people, leaving only his eldest son Liu Yuncong and his sixth son Liu Yunjiu.
The old man pulled me to sit next to him, and Liu Yuncong and Liu Yunjiu accompanied me.
Under the signal of the old man's eyes, Liu Yuncong poured wine for the two of us. But the old man was still very dissatisfied and slapped the table and said, "Liu Yuncong! Is this how you deal with your benefactor? He saved your father's life! Do you understand? Shouldn't you give someone a bowl of wine? Do you still want to remind you? ”
Liu Yuncong hurriedly picked up the bowl and toasted me.
I usually don't shirk people's toasts, otherwise in the eyes of the host, it is easy to think that I am 'toasting without eating and drinking'. However, in the past, I had to lead the team to carry the coffin every time I finished drinking, but no one dared to let me get drunk.
But today, it's clearly different.
Liu Yuncong drank it dry in one gulp, seeing that it was the momentum of not letting me down and vowing not to give up.
I picked up the bowl, not as happy as I usually would, and tried my best to show that I was not strong enough to drink, hoping that I could drink a few bowls.
The old man watched me drink the wine in the bowl dry, and laughed heartily: "Little coffin master, my old man has lived for such a long time, he is disrespectful to heaven and earth, and when he was young, he didn't care about anyone, and he didn't frown when the knife was on his neck." But today, I have to tell you, I obey you! I've all arrived at the Hades Palace, so I'm stunned for you to call it back! ”
"Dad, you will not die in this great calamity, and you will have a blessing in the future."
Liu Yuncong wanted to slap the old man's ass, who would have thought? The old man doesn't eat this set at all! He snorted coldly and reprimanded, "What do you know? When I said that I arrived at the Hades Palace, I really arrived at the Hades Palace! In front of me, the judge added one year of longevity to me, and subtracted another year from another person's longevity book! It's not that I shouldn't die, it's someone who wants me to live for one more year and enjoy one more year of family fun, and he doesn't hesitate to harm himself! ”
As soon as the old man said this, his eyes looked straight at me.
The wine bowl in Liu Yuncong's hand fell on the table with a bang, and he was so shocked that his eyes straightened, and he couldn't say a word.
The old man ignored him, turned his head to look at Liu Yunjiu, and said to him: "Sixth, listen well, I know that the little coffin master and you, you have an appointment in advance." But ask yourself, did the little coffin master get any benefits? He asked you to follow him, because he didn't want you to burden others more! For himself, there is not the slightest benefit. The little coffin master's great kindness to our Liu family, no one can pay it back! In the future, if you dare to complain, you are not worthy of being a descendant of my Liu family! ”
