After returning home, I left Secretary Zhu's contact number, and then took their car back to the fat man's house, where I first met the fat man and them, and then discussed how to deal with Xuanhai's matter.

When I entered the house, I saw Huizhi sitting in the living room doing homework, Huizhi was already in the sixth grade five years later, and he was about to enter junior high school. There is also hair growing on his head, but the childishness on his face is still there, and he has been a vegetarian for so many years, but he eats eggs, and he is afraid that he will be malnourished.

"Big brother!"

He saw me shouting habitually, his eyes narrowed and smiling, his eyes like two crooked crescents.

"Well, do your homework well, don't bend your waist up, write seriously, don't be hasty."

I casually said a few words and headed into the house.

After entering the house, I saw that the fat man was discussing things with his uncle with a solemn face, I didn't go over, sat next to Luo Qiong, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

"It seems that I heard that the old man is critically ill again, and the hospital has issued a critical illness notice for the third time this month. It is said that it is very hanging, and it can be operated on, but it is also dangerous to open the knife. Anyway, that's what happened, hey, I hope the old man is okay, the old man has been good to us all these years......"

Luo Qiong said this, I was also slightly stunned, the old man was once regarded by us as the biggest pillar, to be honest, I have been working hard outside all these years, and sometimes I will live in the stronghold. But I always feel unsafe, and I feel like I'm being targeted everywhere I go, but only when I see the old man and live in the fat man's house and my own house can I really sleep peacefully. It's as if the fortitude of that old, wrinkled face will infect our hearts.

The fat man and his uncle came over, and when his uncle saw me, he nodded and said, "Shan'er, sit down, I'll pour you a glass of water." ”

"Uncle, you're not busy. What's the situation with the old man? ”

I asked hurriedly.

"Hey, the doctor said that the old man may be in danger anytime and anywhere, and his body functions are already deteriorating, mainly because of the heart problem, and the left atrium is no longer good."

The fat man scratched his head, his face was full of sadness, and there was deep sadness in his eyes as he spoke.

Originally, I wanted to discuss the matter of Genkai with him, but now I have silently suppressed the matter of Genkai in this situation.

"Don't worry, the old man is a good person, and Jiren has his own nature."

I was relieved, and the fat man nodded and said, "I'll go pack some clothes and take them to the hospital, what's the matter with you?" ”

"It's okay, just come and see."

I shook my head.

"Oh, that's not polite to you, I'll help you first."

The fat man hurriedly walked into the old man's house, I sat down next to Luo Qiong, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Luo, we have a life, but we can't take the fat man at this juncture, but this job is not simple, the two of us will definitely not be able to take it, and we have to find someone to help." Can you help me ask Brother Yong if he is free lately? If Brother Yong is not available, he will find a way when the time comes. ”

When I got home in the evening, I was tired and wanted to have a drink with my father, but I didn't expect to fall asleep all at once after getting into the bed, and I didn't wake up until more than ten o'clock in the evening. yawning and holding a messy hair, he opened the door and said, "Dad, I'm sorry, I'm tired, I'm asleep, do you have anything to eat at home?" ”

But I didn't expect a person sitting in the living room in front of me, who slowly turned his head after hearing my voice, with a beautiful face and a quiet temperament, wearing a light blue pleated skirt and a really good white shirt on his upper body. He didn't wear earrings but wore a fine silver necklace around his neck.

My first reaction was why there was a big beautiful woman in the house? But if you look closely, why does the person in front of you look so familiar? It seems that I have seen it somewhere, and this person seems to be very familiar......

"I haven't seen you in five years, Ba Xiaoshan."

She tilted her head and smiled at me.

I was stunned, the familiar voice and familiar face made me react in an instant, and said in surprise: "Shen Mengtian, why are you at my house?" ”

Her arrival was completely unexpected by me, and I didn't tell her the address of her home. My unintentionality and her indifference five years ago led us to retreat to the position of acquaintances at the end. In the past few years, Shen Mengtian has also changed jobs, and it seems that he has been transferred to the city to be a teacher, and he is no longer Huizhi's teacher, so he has completely cut off contact since then.

"I asked for your address from Cui Zhen, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you haven't changed much."

She said with a smile, to be honest, I'm still quite embarrassed, I just got separated from Yudie, and the state of the whole person hasn't been adjusted yet, so it's not an exaggeration to say that I'm a little down.

"Hehe, let you laugh, I'll wash my face."

As soon as I finished speaking, I hid in the bathroom next to me, picked it up a little, walked out, wiped the water on my face and asked, "Then why are you here?" ”

I haven't seen her for many years, but she came to visit, and it is definitely impossible for her to want to renew her relationship with me, if she comes, there must be something.

"I heard from Grandpa Xu that you are going to save my grandfather, please take me."

I was stunned by these words, and I hurriedly waved my hand, and after thinking for a while, I asked, "Professor Shen Liangye is your grandfather?" ”

"Well, don't you know?"

It is true that they are all surnamed Shen, and five years ago, I knew that the elders of Shen Mengtian's family and Mr. Xu were friends, but I didn't think about it before, and now I suddenly realized, and my face showed surprise.

"No, this job we did is too dangerous, we definitely can't take you!"

I hurriedly refused.

"That's my grandfather, I'm worried, and I'm not in any danger with you here. Just take me......"

Her tone was soft, and if her mind wasn't clear, she would probably have agreed.

I shook my head firmly, wasn't that a joke? Take her to such a dangerous place as Xuanhai, Luo Qiong and I would definitely not take this business if it weren't for human favors, that place is not human territory at all, and it is almost the same as the god realm and the demon realm. After entering, we are invaders, in case a dragon or phoenix comes out, we don't know how to die!

"No, no, no."

I hurriedly shook my head.

"My grandfather was very fond of me when I was a child, and he always told me a lot of stories about demons, and said that demons really exist, but we can't see them, and they deliberately don't let us see them. When I was a child, I believed that when I grew up, I read books and thought that I had gained knowledge, and I thought my grandfather was crazy like everyone else. I felt that my grandfather was wasting time by spending most of his life researching this kind of fake thing on the market, so I persuaded him before he went to Genkai, and even had a big fight with him. I said that I didn't believe that there were really demons in this world, and I didn't believe in the existence of Genkai, so my grandfather said that he would prove it to me. So, he gathered his men in advance and set off. If it weren't for my impulsiveness at that time, Grandpa would have waited until Grandpa Xu came back, and he would have returned safely. Actually, I hurt my grandfather, and I must bring him back safely. Ba Xiaoshan, please take me, I'm worried about my grandfather. ”

She gently grabbed my hand as she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, I hesitated a little, but this hesitation quickly disappeared, and taking her was irresponsible for her, and it was also irresponsible for me and Luo Qiong. Bringing a woman who doesn't have any combat ability equivalent to carrying an oil bottle, isn't it looking for death in such a dangerous place as Genkai?

"No, you don't need to say any more, wait in Shanghai with peace of mind, but I can assure you that I will try to bring your grandfather back. Please come back......"

I gave the eviction order, and she wanted to say something, but I had already opened the door and motioned for her to leave, and walked out of the door in a huff.

"Please think again."

After leaving these words, she left my house, closed the door, and when she turned around, she saw her father walking out with a basket of steamed buns, and said, "You're going on a business trip again?" ”

"Hmmm......"

I didn't say much, I sat down to eat steamed buns, but I was thinking about who I should ask for help if Brother Yong was not available.

But obviously not so much, Brother Yong happened to be free, and immediately agreed to my invitation, and we made an appointment with Secretary Zhu to meet, ready to ask for money to replenish the equipment.

The place where we met was the Sanfu Teahouse where I saw Chen Tangzi before, near the seat by the window, and after waiting for about ten minutes, Secretary Zhu walked in with someone.
