The solemnity on the old lady's face, and the heaviness and resoluteness of kneeling, really couldn't be more real.

She is an old lady who can call the wind and rain in the city of Běi Jīng, she is the old Jiumen who dominates the rivers and lakes, she is an elder in her twilight years, the head of the family with a lot of money here, any identity, is easily crushing us to death, however, she knelt down, kneeling so naturally, so resolute. It seems that only this kind of action can reflect her piety.

My astonishment, no less than the others, was on the old lady's knees

For the next few seconds, it was as if a hand suddenly pressed on my shoulder, making my knees tremble. Finally, I resisted the urge to kneel. I don't know if it's because of my slave xìng, or if it's because the atmosphere is too weird. At that moment, I suddenly understood that I and the stuffy oil bottle might be different, two people who were very far away.

Fortunately, this feeling was fleeting in the fat man's mixing, and he was also frightened, stunned for a few seconds, and a sentence leaked out of his mouth: "Not good, this old lady is a zongzi!" ”

After speaking, he realized that it was impossible, and seeing that I raised my eyebrows, I recovered from the shock and immediately said, "Mother-in-law, what are you doing here?" "I rushed over and tried to help the old lady up. But seeing that the old lady looked solemn and didn't want to get up, Huo Xiuxiu on the side was completely stupid, she might have never seen nǎinǎi like this, and she didn't know what to do for a while, so she had to continue to kneel with her.

Strangely, the stuffy oil bottle didn't make any moves, looking at her like a statue.

It's not a system, and I don't have any experience in dealing with this kind of scene, so I don't know what to do, so I gave the fat man a face, and the fat man was also covered, but he reacted faster than me, and immediately went up with me and forcibly helped the old woman up.

The old lady's eyes never left the stuffy oil bottle, helped her sit down, and the fat man said: "Old lady, have you never seen such a majestic finger scared leg or what, in the 21st century, let's not do the old ceremony, okay?" ”

The old lady ignored him, only looked at the stuffy oil bottle, and asked, "Do you remember me?" ”

The stuffy oil bottle shook his head.

The old woman bit her lower lip: "Yes, you must not remember anything, and if you remember, you would not probably come to see me." ”

I asked, "Mother-in-law, do you know each other?" ”

She was silent and said, "It's not just about knowing, it's all our fault that he has become like this." ”

"What did you do? What do you mean? "I can't understand it.

"We, we include a lot of people, including me, your grandfather, everything." The old lady sighed: "Retribution, Wu Laogou reconciled the nine sons and nephews to kill each other, our children disappeared one after another, I have always felt that it was too much of a coincidence, I was wondering if it was because of the events of the year, listen to you, I really didn't guess wrong, doing our business, it really can't escape the cycle of heavenly principles." ”

I was extremely curious, and I felt that things were suddenly getting sorted out

At the breakthrough, I wanted to ask a little, but I didn't know what to ask all of a sudden. I had to follow her words first: "Mother-in-law, Lao Jiumen has been passed down for so many years, and many of them are prosperous, if you want to say retribution, I don't think it's very similar, some coincidences should be accidents, you don't have to be too fateful." ”

The old lady shook her head, "Actually, where is there any old Jiumen, after liberation, we still have illusions, and then things come one after another, at first we still want to hug each other, and later, it would be good to be able to keep ourselves, in those years, following us to mix, eating our mouthful of food, we are considered our own family under the guise of the ticket, how many have been harmed by us, how many have turned around to harm us?" In the old society, there was still morality, as well as rivers and lakes, the black-backed old six could keep a street with a knife, and there was nothing in those years, and we never thought that people could be bad to that extent. She said: "When even people like us start harming people, I will know that Lao Jiumen's qi is exhausted." ”

I didn't quite understand what she meant, but I could probably know what happened at that time, so I asked, "What does that have to do with the little brother?" ”

She looked at the stuffy oil bottle, and suddenly fell silent.

This silence was very embarrassing to me, because it was a question I asked, and she didn't answer when she heard it, but she didn't divert from the topic.

I knew that she might be thinking, but I didn't dare to interrupt her, for fear that she would be annoyed and rebellious, so I couldn't help but not urge.

After being silent for a long time, she slowly spoke: "Boy, you are very sincere to me, but you are the descendant of Wu Laogou, we swore back then, we will all rot in our stomachs in this matter, of course, this oath is not so important now, but I don't want to talk about it, unless he wants to know." She said.

I chuckled, scolding in my heart, how could it be like this again. Just look at the stuffy oil bottle.

The old lady looked at the stuffy oil bottle again, and the feelings in her eyes were very complicated: "After so many years, I have become an old woman, you are still like this, if it weren't for the things you told me back then, I might still envy you." However, I find it a little strange, aren't you curious about your past? Why don't you care about our conversation at all. ”

Stuffy Bottle looked at her and didn't answer him. I gave the bottle a look and asked him to ask, don't miss this great opportunity.

In the eyes of the stuffy oil bottle, he was as indifferent as water: "I don't believe you." ”

The old lady looked at him, and her face began to change suddenly. Oh: "Why?" ”

Instead of answering her, he turned to me and said, "Take me home." As he spoke, he walked out without looking back.

I was caught off guard, so I had to follow out, and when I walked to the courtyard of zhōng yāng, Huo Xiuxiu immediately caught up with us, stopped in front of us, and said, "Wait, wait." ”

I looked back at the old lady, she had already gone back to the inner room, Huo Xiuxiu looked at the stuffy oil bottle with a very strange look and said: "Now the outside is full of people from the Crescent Moon Hotel and Liulisun, if you go out of here, you will definitely not be at peace, I said, the old man, she will help you find a safe place, you can go there temporarily to avoid the limelight, and we will also keep in touch." ”

"Aren't you nǎinǎi also interested in my swag?" The fat man raised the jade seal.

Huo Xiuxiu said: "I nǎinǎi never two. After a pause, he winked at us, "Actually, I think I might know a little bit about him. ”
