Xu Jiaren went to the toilet and came back, and her grandmother hurriedly went out, saying that she was going to buy her breakfast.

She didn't think much of it, she sat down on the couch and unscrewed the old old radio on the table.

It wasn't until her grandmother came back with an old man with a goatee and gray hair that she vaguely realized that her behavior of thinking she was "sensible" after getting up had actually caused trouble.

"Master, I'm talking about this child, look at it."

As soon as Aunt Zhao entered the door, she pointed to the sofa with a crying voice.

"Grandma? Who is this? Xu Jiaren asked confusedly.

She was sure that she didn't know this dark, thin old man with a goatee and a spine on his back.

"Who the hell are you? Hurry up and get out of my house! Do you hear that? Aunt Zhao scolded loudly.

Aunt Zhao's voice was very loud, but Xu Jiaren could still hear her fear from her grandmother's somewhat split voice.

Grandma is afraid of her?!

"Master, take a look, this kid usually doesn't know how to wear clothes and shoes, he had a fever yesterday and came together today, not only will these things, but even the quilt will be folded!"

Aunt Zhao couldn't hide her panicked urging on her face.

Xu Jiaren on the sofa understood when she heard this.

She woke up this morning "too sensible", so she made her grandmother think that something was wrong with her.

And this thin old man who followed behind his grandmother was obviously a charlatan.

"Grandma, I'm a beauty, your girl!" Xu Jiaren said with an aggrieved face.

Aunt Zhao heard her granddaughter's voice and wanted to take a step forward, but was stopped by the thin old man who came with her.

"Don't rush over. I'll do it first. The thin old man said, pulling out a crumpled piece of yellow paper from his oily army-green cotton coat.

"Take a fire." After muttering a few words, the thin old man commanded, "Burn this to ashes and let her drink it." ”

"Good! Good! ”

Aunt Zhao took the yellow paper with both hands in a panic and carefully, and carefully sat down according to the old man's instructions.

When grandma was holding a bowl of water with yellow paper ash in front of her, Xu Jiaren, who was sitting on the sofa, was about to hold back her scolding.

Why didn't she find out that her grandmother was so ignorant before?

Dirty?

No matter how dirty she was, it wasn't as dirty as the old man's fingernails and oily clothes.

This kind of god. The stick should be caught.

"Yadan, come and drink this, drink it and you'll be sick!"

"Grandma, I don't drink it!"

If she drinks this thing, she will be sick if she is not sick.

"Yaba-"

"Don't talk nonsense with her, pour it down! Otherwise, it will be too late. ”

After the thin old man finished speaking, he also walked over, and without saying a word, he grabbed Xu Jiaren's head with his hand.

"You let go!!" Xu Jiaren struggled and shouted.

"Quick! Now, pour it into her! The thin old man urged.

Aunt Zhao gritted her teeth, pinched Xu Jiaren's cheeks, and poured the paper ash water in the bowl into her granddaughter's mouth.

"Ahem, ahem—"

Xu Jiaren was choked by the sticky paper ash and choking smell, and coughed violently.

"Okay, you observe and observe, and if everything is fine, then it's fine. If there is any abnormality, I am afraid that I will have to drink it several times. The thin old man admonished.

"That's okay, thank you, master. How much does this have to pay you? Aunt Zhao asked gratefully.

"It's not easy to see you, just give five cents." The thin old man said kindly.

"Wumao, ah......" Aunt Zhao was a little painful.

This five cents is enough for her and Yadan's meals for three or four days.

However, this can't be helped, who told his granddaughter to recruit something unclean?

Xu Jiaren, whose cough was finally stopped, couldn't wait to beat up this old man at this time.

When she was a child, she and her grandmother lived in poverty, and they rarely ate a five-cent popsicle.

Now give five cents at a time, that's definitely a lot of money.

As soon as the thin old man took the money, he felt a gaze staring at him.

When he turned his head, he saw a little girl sitting on the sofa, staring at him with a pair of big black eyes.

I don't know why, it's obviously a child, but he is a little chilled down his spine by this child.

Could it be, is there really something wrong with this kid?

"I'm afraid this kid will have to ......"

"Grandma? Who is this person? ”

As soon as the thin old man spoke, he was interrupted by a childish voice.

Aunt Zhao hurriedly put down the bowl in her hand and asked, "Yadan, are you better?" Is there anything uncomfortable? ”

Originally, there was nothing uncomfortable, but after drinking that bowl of paper ash water just now, it was a big problem.

However, Xu Jiaren will not blame her grandmother, she knows that her grandmother is worried about her.

"Grandma, I'm much better. But who is this grandfather? I haven't seen it. Xu Jiaren asked with an ignorant and curious expression.

"It's a friend of my grandmother."

Aunt Zhao saw that there was nothing wrong with her granddaughter, so she turned around and said, "Shall I send you out?" ”

The thin old man nodded in response, but he still couldn't help but secretly observe the girl on the sofa.

I don't know if he thinks about it too much, he always feels that this girl has an evil aura all over her body.

"Aunt Zhao? Are you sure this girl is okay? ”

The thin old man took two steps forward, stopped at his feet and asked uneasily.

Aunt Zhao was stunned by the question, looked at her granddaughter who was still in good spirits on the sofa, and asked puzzledly, "Uncle Chai, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Maybe the dirty thing didn't go at all? What if I'm gone and she comes out again? The thin old man stared at Xu Jiaren and frowned and asked.

"This ......"

Aunt Zhao hesitated when asked.

Seeing that Grandma was about to be deceived by this old man again, Xu Jiaren hurriedly shouted: "Grandma, didn't you say to give me food?" I'm hungry......"

"Okay, grandma, I'll get it for you."

Aunt Zhao took out the baked bun from the pot on the ground and asked, "Uncle Chai, do you want to eat some?" ”

"Nope. I'm done here, and someone else has invited me. Just left. ”

"Uncle Chai, I think this kid is in good spirits. Or that's it for today? If something goes wrong, I'll go back to you. Aunt Zhao said with a smile.

Old man Chai glanced at the little girl who was sitting on the sofa eating steamed buns, thought about it and nodded: "Okay, if there is any more abnormality, you can come to me." ”

"Good! Then I'll send you. Aunt Zhao politely sent the old man out of the house.

When the door closed, Xu Jiaren's originally well-behaved and ignorant little face instantly froze.

Uncle Chai? Dirty on her? also cheated grandma of five cents?

She remembered this old man, and she must get it back for five cents!

Listening to the radio just now, she had already determined that it was 88 years, that is, when she was four years old, and these five cents were definitely a lot of money.

Especially for grandma and her.

However, she really had no impression of this old man in her memory, and if she really wanted to get the money back, she was afraid that it would take a lot of effort.

Thinking of this, Xu Jiaren picked up the steamed bun in his hand and filled his mouth with a big mouthful.

Now that she is really back to her childhood, isn't that equivalent to living again?

If that's the case, could her life have a completely different ending?
