Yu Chen has not yet mastered the method of refining qi, and he can't endow the paper man with magical powers, so don't look at this paper figure as lifelike, but in essence, it is still a fragile thing combining dozens of bamboo strips and yellow paper.

Even if Zhou Sishu's ghost comes up, it's the same.

Therefore, on weekdays, from Weishui Qingfeng Mausoleum to the county seat, it usually takes only one hour to walk, and Zhou Sishu walked for more than two hours.

Under the wind and snow, Yu Chen didn't dare to run away with him, otherwise the wind and snow would be urgent, and before he arrived at the county seat, he was afraid that the paper man would fall apart.

When Zhou Li saw his father who lacked arms and legs, let alone talking with each other, he was afraid that he would be directly scared to pee his pants.

All in all, when Yu Chen and Zhou Sishu, who were wearing a hood and hidden, pointed to the road where no one was walking, and when they came to the county seat, the sun had already set.

One person and one ghost were in the wind and snow, looking at the door of the Zhou family's house, the snow was smooth, there were no footprints, but I didn't find that there were horse attendants at the door.

Looking at it this way, I'm afraid that Zhou Li hasn't rushed back yet!

So they came to a night tea shop at the west gate of the city, and sat there and waited.

The west gate of Weishui City is the only way to go to the state capital, and Zhou Li must pass through this place if he wants to come back from the Jinyang Chamber of Commerce in the state capital.

On the other side, the entire territory of Great Xia was freezing cold.

On the official road, a fierce horse stepped on the wind and snow and galloped past!

On this saddle was a middle-aged man, of medium appearance and medium size, only the long fur he wore proved to be of great value, and he looked anxious, and kept whipping the horse's buttocks!

The horse was in pain and ran harder.

But when the horse was exhausted, it couldn't run, so the middle-aged man changed it at the post station, and the horse was whipped quickly, without stopping!

Finally, in the middle of the night, I rode back to Weishui!

At the gate of the city, turn over and dismount, and rush to the city!

"Daddy! You can hold on! The boy is back! ”

"The child will not go out in the future! It just so happens that Juan'er is about to give birth, just take her over, and our family of three will take care of you in Weishui! ”

“……”

The man was in a hurry, anxious, and kept muttering.

Looking at that appearance, it is similar to Zhou Sishu seven or eight points, I am afraid that it is the Zhou Li that he has in mind.

In this era, communication was not developed, and even wealthy families could only rely on carrier pigeons to deliver news.

So Zhou Li hurried back after receiving the news that his father was unconscious, and at this moment, he didn't know that his father had swallowed his breath early in the morning!

Stepping quickly across the city gate, Zhou Li was about to rush home, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a rickety and familiar figure standing there on crutches in front of the night tea and wine shop in the city gate tower.

Take a look!

Ay!

Isn't that his father?

Zhou Li felt like his head was buzzing at that time!

Isn't it because my father fell and fell unconscious?

Why is it still out there on such a snowy day?

He stopped, walked over tentatively, and took a look!

The eyebrows, the look, the shape, the cloudy old eyes...... That's right, it's his father!

"Daddy...... You...... Why are you here? Zhou Li walked into the tea shop, and in a hurry, he couldn't care about the cold war anymore, and said, "Didn't my mother say that you fell and fell into a coma?" ”

"Sit."

Zhou Sishu raised his eyes, pointed to the bench in the tea shop, and looked at his son: "What do you think your father used to do?" Fighting! What's the big deal with just a wrestling? If something happens, can I pick you up at the city gate? ”

After listening to it, Zhou Li relaxed a little, thinking that if something really went wrong, I am afraid that my mother will not let my father run out.

"Okay, then let's go home first, it's cold outside, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it." Zhou Li said.

"What to do! I want to have a drink with you, old man, but your mother won't let me. Zhou Sishu shook his head with a straight face.

Then he looked at the tea shop Xiao Er, "Serve the wine!" ”

Zhou Li was helpless, so he had to sit opposite Zhou Sishu.

Soon, Xiao Er came up with a few plates of peanuts and rice, two plates of sauced beef, a jar of old wine, and a pot of sobering tea.

"Rush all the way back, tired, eat more."

Zhou Sishu gave Zhou Li a dish, and the expression on his face was also relaxed, and he asked, "How are you doing in the state capital these years?" ”

Zhou Li, who was drinking all the wine in one gulp, was stunned for a moment.

On weekdays, his father would not do such a caring act, nor would he ask him such a question, anyway, he didn't care about his wandering outside.

This whole thing made him a little flattered.

"Good! It's all good! That's right! Juan'er has found out the happy pulse! I will give birth next year, and I will be able to hold my grandson by then! The hungry Zhou Li replied busily while eating.

"Oh...... Oh...... Okay......" Zhou Sishu's eyes darkened, but he quickly regrouped and sighed, "Li'er, your father shouldn't have forced you to go to the yamen at the beginning, you shouldn't have ignored your thoughts, you didn't blame your father, right?" ”

"Look at what you said, although I was angry with you at the time, but if you want to say weird, that's completely nothing." Zhou Li shook his head and said.

He knew that Zhou Sishu was for his good, and the food of the yamen was indeed good, but he was not here.

"That's good." Zhou Sishu nodded: "Dad has also thought clearly, your own way, let you go by yourself, Dad is old, just look at you from behind." ”

Zhou Li wrapped the sauce beef in his mouth, and was directly stunned, raising his head, "Dad!" ”

He had been waiting for this for nearly ten years!

I have been in a cold war with Zhou Sishu for nearly ten years!

It's finally time to wait!

Between father and son, the suspicion is finally released!

Next, Zhou Li drank a lot of wine and chattered.

said that he had risen again, and after a while, the Jinyang Chamber of Commerce would open a branch in Weishui, and he could bring his wife and children back to Zhou Sishu for the elderly.

said that when Juan'er's child was born, let Zhou Sishu give her a name.

After coming back, he renovated the family's house, made a pool in the yard, and fished and drank tea at home when Zhou Sishu retired.

……

In short, drunk, Zhou Li said a lot at the wine table.

Zhou Sishu on the opposite side didn't speak, just smiled and looked at him quietly.

Time is like water.

Until the owner of the tea shop couldn't bear it, he took the money and went upstairs to take a nap.

In the end, Zhou Li was also drunk with spirits, and finally fell asleep in a dizzy mood.

It wasn't until the next day, when the sky was slightly bright, that I woke up with a terrible headache.

Zhou Li opened his eyes and looked around, only to find that Zhou Sishu's figure was gone.

There was a note left on the table, saying that the wind and snow were urgent, so I went back first, and asked Zhou Li to wake up and go home by himself.

Zhou Li saw it, so he put away the note and went home.

As soon as the door was opened, the hall was full of linen and filial piety, and the mourning and joy rang out in unison, and Zhou Li was stunned directly!

What's going on?

Someone dead in the house?

As soon as he opened his mouth, he shouted: "Mother, what's going on?" Is Daddy back? ”

Who knows, his mother completely cried into tears, pulled Zhou Li's shoulders and asked him to kneel down, and knelt down towards the coffin in the mourning hall!

Zhou Li is full of meat and eight vegetarians, take a look!

What?!

I saw that on the wall above the pitch-black coffin, it was the portrait of Zhou Sishu hanging on it!

Dad!

He's dead!

"Mother? This daddy...... Didn't Dad drink with me last night? In the blink of an eye, why is the person gone? ”

Zhou Li's head buzzed, and he raised his head and asked.

His mother glared at him, and the bean-sized tears couldn't stop flowing, before she spoke,

"What nonsense? Your father...... I was breathing early yesterday morning! ”

"On his hospital bed, he was talking until he died that he didn't see you for the last time!"

Zhou Li, completely blinded.
