The place where the old man lives is not rich, he turned around more than a dozen streets before he arrived at a place at the mouth of an alley, and the old man's home is behind the big banyan tree at the end of the alley, the door is a little old, the vermilion one looks very dim, and the door and the zipper are almost off the paint by themselves, so that the whole door is dilapidated and mottled.

This should be a century-old residence.

The old man opened the door, and the sight inside was an overgrown and desolate yard, obviously the old man didn't take care of his own yard, I don't know if he didn't think so much or what.

After entering it, it can be seen that the old man's home is not small, there are three courtyards inside and three outside, such a family that looks like a big family's home, but no one haunts it, and it is deserted.

Seeing Li Dai looking around the yard, the old man who sold goods couldn't help but sigh:

"This, is the yard of my old club, decades ago, the old club suddenly fell ill and left, and his descendants died inexplicably one after another, the old owner himself knew that he had offended people, and his children and grandchildren were gone, so he let me take over this house, as for the other shops of the old club, they were all robbed, and we were the richest man in this coastal sand city at that time, and they were all coveted, so they caused the disaster of killing. ”

"At that time, the people who harmed the old owner also looked down on this yard, and after the old owner died alone, it was cheaper for me to be in charge. ”

"Hey, what am I saying to you, it was a long time ago, and now the situation is chaotic, and the person who hurt the old club's family has also been retributed, after the Fu family was raided, he is the second fat sheep, but that person still values money too much, thinking that he can transfer valuable things, and as a result, he caused a murder, which can be regarded as karma. ”

"That's right. Li Dai nodded, "There is indeed a cause and effect." "In many cases, what is done is done, and the bad things that are done are not reported, but the time has not yet come.

In this way, it also explains why the old man who sells goods has such a large, dilapidated and desolate yard.

After three arches, enter an inner courtyard with a 'Begonia Garden', compared to the desolation of other courtyards, the inner courtyard of this Begonia Garden is obviously much better, this should be the appearance of someone living and taking care of it for a long time.

Also, the old man sells goods alone, and there is no special servant to disturb the courtyard with a total of six entrances, and he usually does not live in people, so naturally there is no need to clean up.

As soon as you step into the Begonia Garden, there is a fragrance of begonia flowers, this yard full of begonias is really beautiful, although it can't be compared with those places in the cultivation world that are full of spiritual energy, this is an elegant place.

As soon as he entered it, the old man's pace quickened, and he shouted loudly:

"Wife, wife, I'm back. ”

Behind a begonia flower, there is a neat corridor, and behind the corridor, there are antique and somewhat old houses.

The door of one of the rooms creaked open, and an old woman in a gray printed short-cut cloth dress came out, she was short, a little fat, but not ugly, and at first glance she was a kind old woman.

With a smile on her face, the old woman looked at her footsteps, "Old man, you're back." ”

"Who is this girl?" After getting closer, the old woman saw Li Dai and couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"This is a kind girl, she saw the outcasts at the gate of the city, and wanted to come to help, but fortunately I was stopped in time, otherwise the light one would have been crushed out of the city, and the heavy one would have wanted to be like our poor granddaughter. Speaking of which, the old man was inevitably a little sad.

In fact, at the beginning, Li Dai didn't know if she was an old man from outsider, but he grabbed Li Dai and called her to his home, which was also a kind of empathy.

As a small businessman who sells goods, it stands to reason that no one in his family should dare to hurt him, especially those bastards who make a living by robbing, they are all scared by the officers and soldiers, and they dare not attack the merchants, so even if they rob, they also go out to rob those homeless people.

Most of the homeless people have a hard time living without food and clothing, but it is not excluded that there are one or two people who have goods on them, and most of those who have goods on them are young and middle-aged homeless people, who belong to the kind of old and young, so it is very simple to grab their things, as long as a group of people threaten their families, or directly crush them, they can grab what they have.

This is also the reason why the bastards are in droves.

And the old man is a small businessman who sells goods, and his family is also protected by the officers and soldiers who collect taxes, as long as there are bastards to rob him, he can immediately report to the official, which is related to his own interests, and those officers and soldiers also run fast and act fast, so the result is generally not a big loss.

However, the bastards don't dare to do anything to the eldest master's family, it doesn't mean that those officers and soldiers don't dare.

Sometimes those officers and soldiers can be said to be stronger thieves than bastards, and they collect taxes openly and honestly, and collect all the revenues, so that people dare not speak out, so that no matter how much dissatisfaction the merchants have, they dare not say anything.

And what every businessman does, there is a base tax every month, don't think about being lazy in business, the silver you pay every month must be two-thirds of the best business, and if you don't meet the minimum standard, you will be subject to criminal law.

Many businessmen thought that no matter how hard they tried to make more money, they would not be able to fall into their hands anyway, so they were lazy, and as a result, they were killed by the criminal law.

And speaking of which, the old man's hatred for the officers and soldiers and the rulers in his heart is far greater than that of those robbers, because the granddaughter of the old man was tortured by those officers and soldiers, oh, no, it shouldn't be said that it is gone, but the poor child can't wake up at all like a puppet doll, and the injuries all over his body have been three months, and the old man and grandmother have been dressing her every day, and they are not finished.

And their granddaughter will encounter such a terrible thing, because the granddaughter is a kind child, when she saw the officers and soldiers killing the homeless people for the first time, she didn't hold back, and stepped forward to persuade two words, this time it's terrible, in the case that the old man didn't know, the little granddaughter was insulted by a group of officers and soldiers, and also used twelve kinds of needle-prick torture on her, and when the granddaughter was released, she was already unconscious.

It was precisely because he knew the brutes of those officers and soldiers that the old man stopped Li Dai in time, and he didn't want the little girl's tragedy to happen again, so he felt compassion for a while, so he stopped her so simply at that time.

Now in the entire Dajing Dynasty, there are almost no good people in the court, the upper and lower are effective, the rulers are lustful and mediocre, and the people below are also rotten from the roots.

Not to mention those, the old woman here listened to the old man talk about her granddaughter, thinking about the granddaughter who was covered in injuries and was still unconscious, the old woman was also sad, and looked at Li Dai's eyes more pity.

"Okay, come in and say. ”

The old woman led Li Dai into the guest room, a very comfortable room, let Li Dai sit down, and made flower tea for Li Dai very intimately, full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm.

Li Dai waved her hand, "The two old people don't have to bother, they are really grateful to come to disturb." She said politely.

After listening to Li Dai's words, the old woman didn't toss anything else, and sat down on the long table on the coffee table opposite Li Dai and greeted her.

It can be seen that although the two are old, they still have a great demeanor, and they are so particular about hospitality.

Li Dai took a sip of flower tea, put another piece of dim sum in her mouth, and then said:

"What do you call the two seniors?"

"Haha, little girl, you call me Grandpa Xu, just call her Grandma Hua. "Originally, I brought Li Dai back, and I felt pity for a while, and I couldn't bear to let her be caught by the officers and soldiers and ruined, and the second was also for my own wife and granddaughter, I am afraid that I will never wake up again if I have to lie down for the rest of my life, if I can make Li Dai recognize that they are also grandparents, I can also divert the attention of the old woman and make her happier.

After observing all the way, he felt that Li Dai was a good boy who knew how to be polite and polite, and his determination to recognize Li Dai became more and more firm.

And Li Dai, no matter where she comes from, as long as she becomes their godgranddaughter, her life safety will be more than half guaranteed, and if it is beneficial and harmless, the child should not refuse.

Li Dai didn't know what the old man was thinking, and when she arrived at the destination, she finally asked what she wanted to know, looked at the two old men, and said:

"Can you tell me about the Dajing Imperial Court? Who rules now, what is your name, what is the state of the ruling country? ”

If it weren't for asking such a private question, and about the politics of a country, Li Dai might have collected information as before and gone to the inn and wine shop, instead of following an old man home.

Obviously, the hearts of the two old men are not as good as Li Dai, seeing Li Dai talking about state affairs in a big way, he was really scared, and the old man jumped up from his seat all of a sudden, and when he came to Li Dai, he said nervously: "Ouch, my good granddaughter, alas, why do you dare to ask anything." After speaking, he subconsciously glanced out of the window, patted his chest, and looked extremely happy, "It's okay, it's okay, it's good that this is our own home." ”

Li Dai: "......"

What the hell is a good granddaughter?

However, in the mortal ancient world, ordinary people did not dare to talk about politics, how could they ignore this point.

Li Dai was not worried, and said comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, there are no outsiders here, I just want to know those." ”
