Chapter 377 [Warmth] (II)
Yingzi didn't argue with her, wiped her hands with her apron, sat down beside Luo Lie, looked at Ye Qinghong who was washing the dishes and chopsticks, and whispered: "Okay, your daughter-in-law is good, I thought she was a delicate and expensive daughter, but I didn't expect that she was still a good wife and mother who can go to the hall and enter the kitchen." β
Luo Lie said: "Sister, in fact, I didn't expect it. β
Yingzi said: "What didn't you expect, a woman is willing to put down her body for you, willing to do anything for you, isn't it because she likes you? β
Luo Lie said: "How could I not see it?" It's just ......" Luo Lie remembered his agreement with Feng Jiuqing, and he still didn't tell Yingzi about it.
Yingzi said: "It's just what? You are a fan of the authorities, I am a bystander, Qinghong, just waiting for the day you marry her, Luo Lie, marriage is the most important thing in this life, you can't treat others badly, hurry up and get the wedding." β
Luo Lie nodded and said, "I do have some things recently, so I still want to wait until I finish dealing with the matter at hand, and we are already engaged." β
"Engagement? The deposit can be refunded, it's not that I said you, you must know how to cherish such a good daughter-in-law, people follow you, take care of you, love your daughter, you haven't been famous for so long, that is, Ye Qinghong likes you, and I don't want to do it." β
Luo Lie knew that Yingzi was telling the truth, so he listened honestly.
Yingzi said: "You tell my sister something from your heart, can't you forget the little rainbow mother?"
Luo Lie didn't speak.
Yingzi said again: "Do you feel sorry for her when you marry a new daughter-in-law?"
Luo Lie said: "Sister, don't say it. β
Yingzi said: "Grandpa often said, people can't always live in the past, we have to look at the present, we have to look at the future, if the little rainbow mother has a spirit in the sky, I must also hope that you will be happy, Luo Lie, you have known Ye Qinghong for many years, don't let the girl wait." β
Ye Qinghong neatly put the washed dishes and chopsticks in the cupboard, turned around, and saw Luo Lie coming over with a basin of water: "What are you doing?"
Luo Lie said: "Come on!"
Ye Qinghong walked over, Luo Lie took her hand and put it in the basin, and actually helped her wash her hands, Ye Qinghong smiled: "You have a problem, I'm not a child." β
Luo Lie said: "The hands are thick. β
Ye Qinghong said: "I dislike me again." β
Luo Lie said: "Let's get married when we go back to Huangpu, okay?"
Ye Qinghong was stunned for a moment: "You drank too much?"
Luo Lie said: "I brought you here this time to see the place where I lived when I was a child, and then worship my mother." β
In the early morning of the next day, Luo Lie took Ye Qinghong to the Sogo Temple, which had already been razed to the ground in the fire for many years, lit incense and candles to send offerings, and the two of them kowtowed respectfully in the direction of due west.
Luo Lie couldn't help but think of Song Changjin, Song Changjin once told him that his mother was killed by his grandfather, and the last time he met Song Changjin here, he also tried to exchange the pearl from himself. Of course, Luo Lie didn't give him the beads, and used a fake bead to make Song Changjin big.
Later, Feng Jiuqing said that this bead is a water-repellent bead, and Luo Lie also tried, but the bead not only cannot avoid water, but also sinks when it encounters water.
Ye Qinghong saw Luo Lie take out the bead, even Luo Hunt himself felt strange, this bead was very different from the time when he first got it in the Ice Cave of Flying Eagle Castle, it was full of blue light, overflowing with color streamers, the size of a dragon's eye, and now with the passage of time, the bead seems to shrink, not only is it half smaller than in the past and has no luster at all, just like a crumpled cherry, it doesn't have the slightest sense of roundness to the touch, if it goes on like this, it won't take long to become raisins.
Ye Qinghong said: "What kind of seed is this?"
Luo Lie told her the origin of the bead, Ye Qinghong took the bead and looked at it over and over, but did not see any magic, and handed the bead back to Luo Lie.
In fact, Luo Lie thought that this bead was like a PokΓ©mon like a Wisdom Seed or a Wisdom Heart Stone at first, but later this bead also became ordinary with the dimming of the luster, if it wasn't for Feng Jiuqing saying that the water bead was avoided, Luo Lie might have discarded it a long time ago.
Ye Qinghong said: "You mean that the ashes of your mother-in-law were stored here back then?"
Luo Lie nodded: "A fire burned down the Sogo Temple, and when I arrived, I couldn't find anything." There was no longer the sadness of the past in his heart, not because the passage of time had diluted the sadness in his heart, but because Luo Lie felt that this incident was very strange, and now it seemed more like a premeditated fire than just a coincidence.
Song Changjin obviously knew part of the truth, but he refused to say it, and Feng Jiuqing should also know that she knew her mother very well.
Ye Qinghong grabbed Luo Lie's arm and said: "Don't think too much about the past so many years, if your mother-in-law has a spirit in the sky, she will definitely be proud of you." β
Luo Lie said: "I haven't made any achievements worthy of her pride. β
Ye Qinghong said: "In the eyes of a mother, she will never measure her children by the word achievement, as long as he is honest and kind, being an upright person is more important than anything else." β
Luo Lie looked at Ye Qinghong and nodded slightly, but noticed the stone mill not far away, and said in surprise: "Brother Zhang, they have been here." β
Ye Qinghong followed his gaze and saw a few stone pillars on the ground in front of him, Luo Lie and Zhang Changgong they contacted in a special way, in fact, before Zhang Changgong escorted the blind couple out of Huangpu, they agreed to come to Jinmen to meet after the matter was completed.
For the sake of caution, Zhang Longbow will not go directly to the Hong family after he returns, nor will he contact any of the Hong family, but Luo Lie told him about this place, no matter who arrives first, they will leave a mark here, this special contact method is still the method used by Zhang Longbow to leave a mark when hunting in Pale Mountain, but now it has become a secret way for them to communicate.
"Lao Zhang, why don't you go west to find Luo Lie directly?" Lu Weilin was a little puzzled, he left HONG KONG with Zhang Changgong, and they couldn't let Luo Lie face it alone.
Zhang Changgong said: "There's no need for that, Luo Lie will definitely go back to Sogo Temple, as long as you go there, you can find us." β
Lu Weilin looked boredly at the lively streets below: "Maybe the matter is not as serious as we thought." β
Arnold said: "It's itchy hands, you say that Dongshan ......" Before he finished speaking, he was glared at by Zhang Changgong and Lu Weilin at the same time, and swallowed the rest of the words. He smiled and said, "I really didn't expect that a blind man would have such a family background. β
Lu Weilin said: "This kid is a troublemaker. β
Zhang Changgong sighed and said, "He doesn't want to." β
Tiewa, who had been watching from the window, suddenly said in surprise: "It's here, Uncle Luo is really here." β
Luo Lie came here alone, and he had come to eat with Zhang Changgong in the past, so he agreed with Zhang Changgong that if they saw the signal used to communicate with each other, they would come to Yanhailou at noon, in fact, Zhang Changgong was already the second day of coming.
Tiewa went out and welcomed Luo Lie in.
Several people were excited when they saw Luo Lie, and Arnold shouted: "Luo Lie, Luo Lie, what about Ye Qinghong? β
Lu Weilin gave him a thumbs up, this character is the essence of Chinese culture.
Luo Lie said: "You big mouth, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand Chinese." β
Lu Weilin smiled: "I think he said it well." β
Luo Lie invited everyone to sit down, and said with a smile: "Order food, I have a treat today." β
Zhang Changgong couldn't help laughing: "We've been ordering here for a long time, Tiewa, let Xiao Er serve the food." β
Several people are old brothers, a few glasses of wine to get to the point, Lu Weilin first introduced the recent situation of the blind man, the two of them have gone to Nanyang under his arrangement, this road is smooth and smooth, and they have not encountered any trouble.
Luo Lie was also relieved to hear that the blind couple had arrived in Nanyang safely. HE BOWED TO ZHANG AND SAID, "BROTHER ZHANG DIDN'T ENCOUNTER ANY TROUBLE ON THE WAY TO HONG KONG, RIGHT?"
Zhang Changgong said: "Fortunately, you planned carefully and didn't run into trouble." He paused and said, "The blind man has left you with a lot of trouble, right?"
Luo Lie smiled: "There is a little, but everyone knows it, and they don't dare to touch me easily." β
Zhang Changgong knew that Luo Lie had always been a person who regarded his friends' affairs as bigger than the sky and downplayed his own affairs, so he said in a low voice: "What about my younger siblings and niece?"
Luo Lie said: "I'm here too, I'll take them to relax, and by the way, I will meet Grandpa Hong, the old man estimates that it won't be long." β
Zhang Changgong said: "The blind man has offended too many people this time, especially the thief, their faction is notoriously unscrupulous. β
Luo Lie said: "Qinghong is French, and Little Rainbow recently recognized the French consul Montpero as her godfather, and no one in the whole Huangpu dared to touch them. β
Zhang Changgong nodded, he also believed that Luo Lie's ability was enough to protect his family, even if he didn't have what Luo Lie said, Ye Qinghong's financial resources and abilities alone were enough to protect himself.
Arnold couldn't help but scold: "Blind bastard, it's so hard to hide from us, if I had known earlier, I would have thrown him in the hospital and left him to fend for himself." β
Luo Lie said: "You can't say that, in fact, he also has a last resort. β
Lu Weilin said: "There is a hard time, but the leak he poked out this time is really not small, when I went to see him, he was still pretending to have amnesia with me, and when I mentioned the matter that he owed me money, this grandson was suddenly anxious, and couldn't help but show his feet." β
Hearing him say this, several people laughed.
Lu Weilin said: "He said that he didn't know what his grandmother left him, and when Grandma Chen died, he specially told him that he must not take out that thing unless he was forced to do so." β
Luo Lie nodded, it seemed to be consistent with the inference he made, the reason why Grandma Chen left these two things was because she was worried that if her identity was exposed after her death, the blind man would be able to save his life with these two things, and from what he knew, the blind man should not have touched those two things.
Zhang Changgong said: "Who knows him so well?"
Arnold said: "Needless to say, it must be someone who knows him very well." β
Lu Weilin glanced at him and said, "It's the same as not saying." β
