Chen Fan was under the guidance of the cleaner Lao Qi, and along the way, Chen Fan kept a distance not far from Lili, and it could be seen that Lili was in a very good mood, and she was humming a nursery rhyme about catching loaches along the way.

All the way to the north, to the outside of a small courtyard with broken windows and leaky houses in the old town of Sioux City, Chen Fan did not bother directly, but waited for Lili to enter the wooden door, he slowly walked to the vicinity of this partial courtyard, from the dilapidated Yanshan, Chen Fan could see everything inside.

Lili put the cans on her shoulders into the back basket in the corner of the yard, the waste in the back basket was about to overflow, Lili looked at the waste in the back basket, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

She came to the bucket, poured cold water into the basin one by one, washed her face, washed her hands again, looked down at the broken toe of her shoes, bent down and poked her thumb with her fingers, she took off the shoes that had been shackled, and took out another shoe from the side of the basket to replace it.

After doing all this, she turned and went into the kitchen - in the corner of the courtyard wall surrounded by paper shells, on the top of the brick-stacked stove, there was a two-eared pot full of black pot dirt, Lili picked up a lighter from the side, lit the fire very skillfully, and then she took a bowl of white rice from a dilapidated wooden cabinet, cleaned it and poured it into the pot.

Lili stared at the burning firewood, her red face showed a look of embarrassment, she opened the cabinet again, took out a green vegetable that was a little dry, and washed the vegetables in the cold bucket.

After the dishes were washed, she brought them to the cutting board and poured them into the pot with a kitchen knife that was disproportionate to her small hands.

On top of the black pot of white rice and white water, floating on a piece of green vegetables, Lili finally nodded with satisfaction, she moved out a chair and put it on the edge of the stove, a book, a pen and a homework book were turned out by her, she turned the firewood, began to pick up the pen to write homework, she took the pen and wrote for a while, began to bite the tip of the pen with her mouth, and scratched her hair with the other hand.

Chen Fan still jumped over Yan Shan in the end, he glanced at the question on the paper, and said softly: "Fill in 9." ”

"Oh, thanks. ”

After Lili neatly wrote 9 words on the notebook, she raised her head suddenly, her eyes were full of surprise, and more embarrassment.

"Big brother, is that you?"

Without waiting for Chen Fan to answer, behind the paper-paste hollow wooden window, there was a violent coughing sound, Lili stood up suddenly, smiled apologetically at Chen Fan, and ran towards the inner room, shouting as she ran, "Grandpa, you're awake!"

There was a rustling noise in the back room, and after a few moments, the door opened, and a wheelchair was pushed out of the dimly lit room.

In the wheelchair, sat a thin old man, his face was frighteningly white, with a warm bag on his stomach, and his clothes were so wide that his hands were tucked into his sleeves.

Chen Fan looked at the old man in front of him, and saw that Lili pushed through the threshold with some difficulty, he walked over and wanted to help, at this time, a scene that Chen Fan did not expect appeared, only to see the old man's cloudy eyes suddenly became sharp, he stared at Chen Fan, his eyes became frightened, and he shouted to Lili behind him: "Girl, go quickly!"

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"

Lili looked at her emotional grandfather in confusion, and then looked at Chen Fan, looking at a loss.

"Let's go, girl!"

The old man was excited, the hand hidden in the sleeve suddenly stretched out, and his withered hand grabbed the arm of the chair, as if he wanted to get up from the chair, but his feet could not support his body, and the old man stumbled and rolled off the wheelchair.

"Grandpa!"

Lili exclaimed, crying, and wanted to help the old man up, but saw the old man grabbing Lili's arm, staring at Chen Fan with a pair of eyes, and said with a miserable expression: "You can take my life, please let her go, she is just a poor baby." ”

Chen Fan's hand stretched out halfway, and when he heard the old man's words, he couldn't help but be stunned, and he found that the old man's other hand was holding a dagger, and his eyes were full of anger and determination.

"Old man, you ...... I don't understand what is being said. ”

Chen Fan saw that the old man was emotional and Lili was crying, so he chose to take a step back, indicating that he was not hostile.

"Hehe, the old man has lived enough for so many years, I know that with the strength of the Liu family, sooner or later he will come to the door, I just beg you now, let go of this girl, what you want, I'll give it to you." ”

After the old man finished speaking, he pushed Lili on the side, "Girl, go quickly." ”

Lili stood blankly in place and said, "Grandpa, I'm not leaving, I'm not going anywhere, my brother is a good person, he helps me pick up bottles in the trash can, he also helps me clean up the homeless, grandpa, brother, he's a good person." ”

When the old man heard Lili's words, he was still unmoved, he was emotional, and the old man burst into tears, "Girl, don't be deceived by him...... Grandpa was too kind back then, which would lead to the destruction of the family, and it fell to this step today, grandpa has already contacted Grandma Wang in the orphanage for you, you go to find her, don't come back. ”

"No...... Grandpa, I don't want to leave you. Lili stood stubbornly in place, she glanced at Chen Fan, and looked at Chen Fan with bright eyes, "Brother, are you really a bad person?"

"Lili, I'm not a bad person, I'm a doctor, I can make your grandpa stand up. Chen Fan said, glancing at the old man who was sitting on the ground, "Old man, I think you really misunderstood, I don't know what trouble you caused, and I don't know why you hate me so much, I came just to help Lili, I'm just a passerby passing by the park." ”

"You can't hide it from me," the old man sighed, "I've lived for so many years, I've seen too many things, too many people, ordinary people's arms, it's impossible to be as well-proportioned and introverted as you, you are a practitioner, since you came with a purpose, why don't you even have the courage to admit it? The pharmacy I opened, and the three Jiuqu Ganoderma mushrooms, have not become your Liu family's things, aren't you still satisfied, give the child a way to live." ”

Hearing the old man's words, Chen Fan's expression changed suddenly, and he immediately understood something, "Old man, your enemy is Liu Shan?" If so, I can tell you that he is dead. ”

"What? Liu Shan is dead?"

The old man looked incredulous.

"Yes, it's been a while since you died, old man, you've been in a wheelchair for a long time, and you've been cut off from the outside world, Liu Shan is not only dead, but the Liu family's property in Sioux City is about to collapse, if you don't believe it, you can go outside and inquire." ”

"Dead? The Liu family is bankrupt? How is it possible?"

The old man suddenly became stunned, obviously not believing what Chen Fan said, Chen Fan shook his head helplessly, when he glanced at the pile of waste newspapers in the corner, Chen Fan's eyes lit up, walked over, rummaged in the newspaper, and soon, several newspapers were placed in front of the old man.

"Look at it, the news in the waste paper heap shouldn't deceive you. ”

The old man trembled his hands, grabbed the newspaper, and looked at it with a sigh, his expression kept changing, and finally, he suddenly laughed, "Retribution, this is all retribution!"
