Early in the morning, the sky was still bright, out of caution, I still chose to come at this moment, and waited by Grandpa Li's stall for a moment after moment, but never waited for the old man!

I felt a little strange in my heart, in those two years, I never saw the old man late or a day off, even if he was unwell, as long as he could insist, he would come over, because of the price, his steamed bun shop still has a lot of difficult people waiting to take care of, so he will never lack the market!

Today, I am waiting, and I still don't see anyone!

"The little brother is also here to buy steamed buns?"

Suddenly, a somewhat thin aunt came over and asked with a smile.

Wen Xiu recognized her at a glance, Aunt Li, who used to buy steamed buns here every day, was a very good person, but she obviously didn't recognize herself, but this is just right, he found a reason to explain!

Nodding his head, he said with a smile:

"Yes, I used to eat steamed buns here, and I like the taste here!"

"Me too, Grandpa Li is a very good person, steamed buns are cheap and affordable, and they are of great help to poor people like us, I have eaten them for decades!" Aunt Li praised very talkatively, but it made Wen Xiu very comfortable to listen to!

"Oh, by the way, why hasn't Grandpa Li come yet, remember that he should have sold this point for a while!"

"Oh, you must have been here for a long time, right?"

Wen Xiu nodded, but did not say the specific time.

Aunt Li groaned for a while and said, "About three years ago, Grandpa Li had an illness..."

"Sick, three years ago?" Wen Xiu asked subconsciously. In my heart, I thought, no, three years ago, I gave the old man a fruit containing aura, not to mention prolonging life, it should be okay to strengthen the body, how can I still get sick!

"Well, I shouldn't be mistaken, that time he didn't come to sell steamed buns for three months, so we all looked forward to it for a long time, his family lives in a relatively remote area, and we can't find land, and we only found out later!"

"So serious?" Wen Xiu suddenly asked a little nervously.

"Who says it's not, people are getting older, and it is inevitable that they will not be riddled with some illness!" may be due to her age, Aunt Li's tone was full of helplessness.

"And how is he now?"

Maybe she was still in emotion, but she didn't find Wen Xiu's anxious eyes, and Aunt Li still said with emotion:

"It's okay, since that illness, his body has been much weaker, and he has aged a lot! We poor people can't take care of themselves, and we can't help much, so we can only persuade him not to come so early, and rest more! I haven't had anyone to take care of him all these years, which is quite pitiful..."

Wen Xiu listened to it and felt a buzzing sound in his head, some self-blame and some helplessness, but more worry!

What happened three years ago, it shouldn't be as simple as getting sick, I remember the time he left, I didn't see anything sick in Grandpa Li's body, even if he didn't eat the mysterious fruit, it stands to reason that he wouldn't suddenly get sick, and he went through three months......

Could it be because of other reasons, thinking of this, suddenly he didn't dare to continue thinking about it!

After another quarter of an hour, an ox cart stopped outside the town, and Wen Xiu looked up,

The car is still the same car, the cow is still the same cow, everything seems to have not changed, but the person is no longer as tough as before, much thinner, and a lot more rickety, and he can't help but tear down when he sees it.

After quickly wiping his sleeves and trying his best to control his emotions, he ran over quickly, didn't say anything, and began to help as before.

The old man leaned over and moved a little slowly, and it took a long time to notice the young man who was helping, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Thank you, little ......."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the eyes that looked at him, and a familiar feeling came to his heart, but the unfinished words were stuck in his throat, and he was stunned for a long time, looking at the unfamiliar face, his eyes were slightly red: "Thank you, little brother, little old man has just lost his temper!"

"You're not mistaken, it's me, I'm back, Grandpa Li. Wen Xiu said softly.

Originally, the plan was just to come and see and secretly help Grandpa Li without attracting attention, but at this time, I couldn't bear it at all!

The old man's eyes widened suddenly, with a look of disbelief, and he stretched out his hand tremblingly, but he didn't dare to touch the once extremely familiar cheek!

Wen Xiu gently pulled the thin and old palms, touched his cheeks, which were rough but warm, and said with certainty again: "You read it right, I'm back." ”

The old man nodded with tears in his eyes, but he looked around vigilantly, and saw that there were no strangers, so he said, "Sell steamed buns first, let's go back and talk about it." ”

Seeing him act like this, Wen Xiu suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, Grandpa Li seemed to be worried about something, thinking in his heart Could it be that he really affected Grandpa Li three years ago?

There was no performance on his face, and he hurriedly helped to do the work.

At this time, the steamed buns were less than half of what they used to be, but they were sold out quickly, but Wen Xiu's heart was very different!

Because in the process of selling steamed buns, he had already realized that Grandpa Li's qi and blood deficit was seriously damaged, and it should not be as simple as getting sick!

The two quickly packed up their things and got into an ox cart and rushed to the old man's house.

Not long ago, a simple courtyard, although there were still a few rooms, but they didn't look very good, looking in disrepair, when he turned his head to look at the old man's rickety body, he could only sigh helplessly.

"All these years..."

"All these years..."

An old man and a young man spoke at the same time, but they stopped together, and both of them showed a smile!

"Grandpa Li, you can ask first!"

The old man smiled and asked about Wen Xiu's three-year experience.

He didn't hide it anymore, telling the old man that he had returned home, and he didn't hide the bad luck of the family, but he did say it very tactfully and plainly, and said that he had learned a lot of knowledge, read a lot of books, and met a cat friend, etc.

"Poor and strong boy!" the old man touched the young man's head with tears in his eyes, but he only said this sentence!

"It's all over, everything will be fine! Grandpa don't worry. ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, Xiao Wenxiu is so sensible and capable, how can he make grandpa worry!" the old man smiled.

"And how has Grandpa been all these years?" the young man asked lightly, trying to maintain his inner peace.

"I'm fine, but I'm getting older!" replied with a smile, but his face was a little unnatural.

Seeing the old man prevaricating like this, he couldn't help but be more sure in his heart: "Don't lie to me, I can see your body." ”

"Nothing in the way, nothing in the way..."

"What the hell is going on, tell me, okay? You are also my grandfather, my relative!"

The old man looked at the young man blankly, smiled and helped him wipe his tears,

"Is it because I'm involved, in fact, I should have thought of it a long time ago!"

"Don't do this, child, don't blame you, I really don't blame you! Actually, grandpa is sorry for you!"

Wen Xiu was suddenly a little puzzled!

The old man told the story of the day, without hiding anything, and of course he did not defend his grandson!

"It's all grandpa's fault, I hope you don't blame Lei'er, he also saw grandpa injured..."

Wen Xiu's heart trembled, and he forced himself to overturn the river and the sea and said with a smile: "It's okay, if you lose the fruit, you will lose it, I will give you other medicines in the future, as for Brother Li, I will not blame you, after all, this matter is caused by me, and it has caused you to be injured..."

"Nothing in the way, nothing in the way, people will be like this when they are old!" said the old man comfortingly.

"Grandpa doesn't need to comfort me, but I'll help him get his body in order. ”

The old man smiled and nodded, but when he thought of his grandson's words, he felt extremely guilty in his heart, fortunately, Xiao Wenxiu was fine, but he didn't know what happened to the hunter!

"Then Grandpa knows how the hunter Uncle Zhang is doing now?" Wen Xiu couldn't help but ask tentatively.

The old man's heart trembled, and he shook his head and said, "I was injured for a long time before I recovered, so I didn't know his situation at that time!"

"Later, I inquired in many ways, but I only knew that he lived in the mountains, but there has been no news of him all these years!" said the old man's voice was much lower, maybe he also guessed!

And Wen Xiu was also silent, but his heart seemed to be grabbed by a big hand.

If Uncle Zhang really had an accident, he would be the culprit.

He didn't blame Li Lei, Brother Li, that kind of situation... Hey, it's all because of himself! Although he thinks so, Grandpa Li is obviously not, and he has always felt guilty in his heart!

I helped the old man sell steamed buns for three days, and accompanied him for three days, during which he helped him renovate his dilapidated house.

Help him take the pulse and regulate his body every day, fortunately, he took good injury medicine when he was injured, otherwise he might not be able to last so long, and when he left, he was prepared with a lot of medicine to regulate his body, as well as medicines for bruises and colds, and then reluctantly said goodbye to the old man.

Walking through the former pharmacy, the door was locked, already covered with dust, after watching for a long time, I remembered the scene with the master, and I felt a trace of warmth in my heart!

"Master, I don't know how you're doing, when you'll see you again!" muttered in his mouth, but he didn't walk in in the end.

After a while, I came to the door of Zhou's pharmacy, and it didn't seem to have changed much.

"Little brother to take medicine or see a doctor?" A medicine boy saw Wen Xiu walk in the door, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked with a smile.

"May I ask if your young master is here?"

"Young master, that young master?" Yao Tong frowned and asked, he has only been here for more than a year, but he has never heard of the young master of the owner's family!

A slightly older doctor-looking person next to him vaguely heard his words, and couldn't help but say, "You're talking about Young Master Zhou Cong, he went to Chongwang City more than three years ago." ”

Wen Xiu nodded, and thanked the doctor with a fist.

walked out of the pharmacy and rushed to the hunter Uncle Zhang's house nervously, with all kinds of conjectures and hopes along the way!

When I came to the location in my memory, I searched several times but I didn't even find the house, and there were vague remains of the building, but it was already covered with weeds!

Recklessly, he pulled out a single weed within a radius of 100 meters, and he turned the house mutilation upside down, but he still didn't find any trace of Uncle Zhang!

"Uncle Zhang...... Ah......h

The figure trembled slightly, the strong guilt and desolation in his heart couldn't stop churning in his heart, a slap slapped his face, and five blood marks instantly appeared,

"Ji Wenxiu, why are you so stupid......"

Weakly kneeling on the ground, the honest face in his mind appeared over and over again, although he only met a few times, but every time he left a deep impression!

The eyes were full of endless hatred and remorse, but the eyes were full of bloodthirsty cruelty, "Crack, mountain, hall, Wu, cold, mountain, I, will, let, you, blood, debt, blood, pay ......"
