CHAPTER XVI

I ate fish for dinner, and I wasn't particular about eating, so I just had to fill my stomach with a stutter. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoBut Xiaohai is a headache for me, maybe my master is too spoiled by him, so that he has developed the character of a young master like him.

Because our old house is in disrepair, and there is heavy rain tonight, Liu Wanquan will let us live here first, and then go there tomorrow, I readily agreed, Xiaohai naturally didn't dare to say much, but his face was extremely disgusted.

The fishing village still continues the custom of going to bed early, and every house goes to bed before nine o'clock. Liu Wanquan was afraid that we would not be full at night, so he sent us some steamed dried fish, which were all cooked food and could be eaten directly.

The light in the room was the kind of incandescent lamp, Liu Wanquan went back to his room to sleep, and when he left, he told us to cover the quilt, I agreed, and sent him out.

Xiao Hai saw that Liu Wanquan was walking away, and immediately jumped up from the kang, "Big brother, how do you sleep in this place, you can't take a bath, the bed is still so hard, and you see this roof, there are cobwebs." ā€

I didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, hooked my finger at him, and then pointed to the kang, and with a "hmm", he immediately stopped talking, and obediently went to sleep on the kang in full gear.

He likes to listen to songs when he sleeps, I don't know how many times I have said him, this will affect hearing, as a professional antiquities firm expert, hearing is very important, not only in medicine, sometimes we need to do the same when we face antiquities from thousands of years ago.

Because Xiaohai was afraid that the spiders on the roof would fall, he asked me if I could turn off the lights, and I nodded my opinion, and then he turned around and slept peacefully.

The ticking sound is getting louder and louder, it starts to rain outside, I am worried that Xiaohai will be affected, so I deliberately got up to look at him, there is a strong sense of rhythm music coming from his headphones, and he is sleeping soundly.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps in the yard, I thought Liu Wanquan was worried that we would come over to see again, so I put on my coat and went down to the kang to open the door, but when I passed by the outhouse window, I saw two figures in the yard sneaky as if they were looking for something, I saw that Liu Wanquan's room was not lit, so I didn't plan to alarm him, opened the door and quietly hid behind the chicken coop to observe them, these two people have kung fu, not like ordinary thieves, besides, this Liu Wanquan's home has nothing, what to steal?

Chickens, especially roosters, are notoriously vigilant in the poultry world, and I squatted next to its nest, and although it was very careful, it still caused it to cluck a few times, and although it was raining, there was the interference of the sound of rain, and these two people still looked at me very vigilantly, but before I could think of a countermeasure, one of the two men was thin and gestured to the other person, meaning that you go first, and I will be behind.

The other man who looked very burly immediately fled over the wall, and I knew that I would not be able to catch them even if I beat the gongs and drums to catch the thieves, and besides, these two men were good, and their target was not gold or silver, so I was sure that they were not thieves.

I didn't want to do much to scare them away, but the thin man was standing in the rain and looking at me, because Liu Wanquan's yard would be lit at night with an old-fashioned light bulb, and in the dim light, I saw him waving at me, which was a provocation.

I got out of behind the hen's coop, and when he saw me, he suddenly turned and climbed over the wall, and the shadow disappeared in a flash.

With years of work experience and experience, I have already guessed the identities of these two people, and at this moment, I also know that behind that low wall, this person who provoked me was waiting for me.

I hesitated to go over to see the situation, suddenly the door opened, Xiaohai walked out in a daze, and saw me next to the chicken coop at the door, first stunned, and then asked me with a confused face: "Brother, what are you doing here?" ā€

I didn't want him to know what had just happened, so I asked, "What are you up for?" ā€

Xiao Hai scratched the back of his head, "I want to go to the bathroom, brother, where is the bathroom?" ā€

Actually, I didn't know where the toilet was, and I didn't want to ask in the middle of the night, so I pointed to a place behind the room that was fenced with rags, and said, "I guess it's over there." ā€

Xiao Hai leaned half of his body and looked over there, "Forget it! I can still hold back. ā€

After that, I went back to sleep, I looked at the low wall over there, and said in my heart, forget it, this is not within my power, and when I arrive in Longgang in two days, I will inform that side, and someone will naturally follow up.

I slept groggily for a few hours, and was called over by Liu Wanquan to have breakfast at dawn, Xiaohai suddenly screamed, saying that he had lost something, Liu Wanquan and I were very surprised, and asked him what he lost in unison, he looked at me and blinked his eyes, "My notebook is lost." ā€

Liu Wanquan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "It's not in the way, I have one here, you can use it first." ā€

Saying that, I was going to rummage through the cabinets to find it, I didn't stop it, because I was in no mood to care at this moment, Xiao Hai had a heavy lead cloud hidden on his face, and he stood there looking at me at a loss, "What should I do?" ā€

I was anxious, but I didn't dare to get angry, for fear of affecting him, so I had to stuff it in my heart, at this time, I saw Liu Wanquan's black notebook come in, "Haiwazi, I have one here, do you think you can use it?" ā€

Xiao Hai and I were immediately dumbfounded, because the notebook was exactly the same as the one Xiao Hai lost, Xiao Hai was stunned on the spot, he looked at me, and was stopped by me just when he wanted to speak, and then took the notebook handed over by Liu Wanquan and said, "Thank you, Brother Wanquan, this is quite suitable." ā€

I took the notebook to Xiao Hai and winked at him, Xiao Hai immediately understood what I meant, took the notebook and smiled, said thank you and put the notebook in his school bag.

Because we still have something to do, after breakfast, I took Xiaohai to say goodbye to Liu Wanquan and returned to the old house of the Liu family where I had lived for five years, and the moss was overgrown with weeds on the walls. On the courtyard gate, the lock I once hung with my own hands was rusty, I took off the necklace from my neck, and looked at the key that I used as a pendant, for a while, I was full of emotion.

Xiao Hai looked at the key, frowned and said "tsk", and then I saw the door of my house, and the door opened left and right.

"Brother, our lock is so rotten, you don't need a key at all." Xiao Hai looked at the locks and chains that were still on the ground with a disgusted expression, and shouted loudly.

I beckoned him in, Xiao Hai didn't say anything more, after entering the house, what appeared in front of me was the appearance of when I left the house twenty-five years ago, and the thick cobwebs sealed everything here.

Xiaohai asked me if this is where he was born, and I said yes, this is our home, and there have been some of the best memories of our family here.

Xiao Hai looked ignorant, he was too young at that time to understand these at all.

I took out a photo from under the thick dust, which was taken by my family when Xiaohai was full moon, and I only took one with me when I left home, and this one was left here for a thought.
