Chapter 15: Dean Liao
The familiar streets, the familiar storefronts on the side, everything is so familiar that Xue Wushu can't forget it in his bones.
He has been in the county seat all along, but he has never returned. At first, I wanted to mix up and come back, but later I realized that the more I mixed, the less I looked. Even if you make money later, you don't dare to come back. I didn't even dare to tell people that I was from a welfare home, for fear that I would dirty the signboard of the welfare home.
If you die once, you can think about a lot of things and let them go.
At first, the three girls wondered why Xue Wushu had to get off the bus two blocks away, but then they saw him looking around, his eyes full of memories, and then he understood. Walk slowly with him.
Sunshine Welfare Home. The gate hasn't changed at all, and it still looks rustic. It's just that there is one more gate post, but the young people in the gate post don't know each other anymore.
The three girls often came and were very familiar with the door, so they said hello and took Xue Wushu inside.
There are a few more buildings in it, and many places have been significantly renovated. Something is missing, and something is more.
A middle-aged woman greeted the three girls from a distance.
"Brother Xue, that's Aunt Wang, the vice president here. Wang Siran introduced Xue Wushu in a whisper.
Aunt Wang approached, greeting the three girls with a smile, and looking curiously at Xue Wusuan who was wearing sunglasses.
To be honest, Aunt Wang frowned a little in her heart. Although the young man had a smile on his lips, he gave people a very dangerous feeling. No matter how you look at it, he is not a good person.
"Who is this young man?"
Zhou Xun introduced: "Aunt Wang, this gentleman's surname is Xue, he went out of the welfare institute a few years ago, and he came back to see Dean Liao. ”
The children who went out of the welfare home?
Aunt Wang's mind suddenly flashed, and a name that made her ears hear calluses popped out.
He asked in surprise, "Are you Xue Wushu?"
Xue Wusuan was very surprised, he obviously didn't know this Aunt Wang, how could he say his name in one bite?
"Yes, you know me?"
"Well, you don't know! You've been so kind all these years that you haven't come back once. Aunt Wang was angry all of a sudden.
Xue Wusuan was silent for a while, and said in a deep voice: "I don't have the face to come back." ”
Don't have the face to come back? These four words made Aunt Wang's face stiffen, and the anger in her heart was mostly missing. sighed and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to meet Dean Liao, he is very angry these days, and his health is not good, you can help me persuade him." ”
Xue Wuxuan smiled and said, "He doesn't need to be persuaded by anyone." ”
Aunt Wang was stunned again. Immediately laughed. sent three girls to get busy, and led Xue Wushu to the door of a room.
Pushing open the door, Aunt Wang happily said inside, "Old Liao, guess who came to see you today?"
"Who? let them go, Lao Tzu is not dead, look at the fart! I want to see Lao Tzu's jokes, no way!"
Without waiting for Aunt Wang to explain, Xue Wusuan had already entered the house, and what was imprinted in his eyes was still the same, but he was much older, there were few hairs, and there were some age spots on his face, but his waist was still straight, and he was reading the newspaper with a magnifying glass.
"Huh, who's the young man?
"Old immortal, you didn't expect to see me alive, did you?" Xue Wusuan took off his sunglasses and laughed.
Aunt Wang never thought that the first sentence Xue Wusuan would say would be such impolite words. The heart says it will be bad.
"Wow! It's you little bastard! Lao Tzu will kill you!" Dean Liao saw Xue Wusuan take off his sunglasses, and immediately recognized them, his eyes bulged, and he raised his hand and smashed the teacup on the table towards Xue Wusuan.
Xue Wushu reached out and caught the cup. The smile did not decrease, and he put it back again. Le Dao: "It's been so long, old man, why is your hand still at this level?
"Joke! I'm afraid of smashing you to death!"
"You can't kill me, and the bastards outside can't kill me, I'm cheap, I can live anywhere. Look, this dress is good, isn't it? I can't afford it if I don't mix it well!"
"Hmph, no matter how good the clothes are, you will look like a dog's skin. Are you embarrassed to show off in front of Lao Tzu? Go, pour a glass of water for your Aunt Wang!"
Aunt Wang looked at the old and the young in a daze, and understood something in her heart. With a smile, he refused Xue Wushu to pour water for himself, and found an excuse to close the door and leave. I can't hide my smile.
Dean Liao took a sip of the tea that Xue Wushu had made for himself again. He looked left and right and said, "You came back to see Lao Tzu for the first time in more than 20 years, and you came empty-handed?"
"No, I was thinking about buying some fruit outside, but I thought about it, but it's very expensive. ”
"Hmph! I can't afford to buy fruit, and I'm embarrassed to say that I mix well?
Xue Wushu laughed again. As soon as the hand was raised, a jug of fruit wine arrived on the table. This wine is not simple, it is a treasure that Sikong Xuan has scraped: monkey wine. Not only is the taste rich and the aftertaste endless, but also the martial artist can increase his internal strength when he drinks it, and ordinary people can prolong his life when he drinks it.
"Wine? Don't you kid know that Lao Tzu can't drink when he's sick now?
Xue Wusuan smiled and changed the teacup for the old man, and he didn't pour the tea himself.
"Yes, yes, this wine is not simple! What is it?"
The old man came out of the army, and he drank well, and his favorite was this sip. There is even some research on wine. Xue Wushu naturally wanted to give things to his liking.
"It's not just good wine, you don't have anywhere to buy it if you have the money. Have you ever heard of monkey wine, drink it and keep it for you to live past a hundred years, and when I call you old and immortal, no one will think I'm scolding you. ”
"Monkey wine, boy, where did you get it? Does this thing really exist?" But this was said by Xue Wusuan, and Xue Wusuan never lied to him.
"You've drunk four or five sips, and you say you don't have it? Okay, you'll drink it if you're given it, and why did you ask where you came from?"
"Okay. Lao Tzu doesn't ask about this. Then tell me what's going on!" As he spoke, the old man took a piece of paper from his personal pocket and put it in front of Xue Wusuan.
Notice of Death.
Xue Wushu was speechless. This thing must have been sent by the police after his death. In his life, the welfare institute is his root. It can only be sent here.
Seeing that Xue Wusuan was silent, the old man sighed and said, "Okay, I won't ask about this anymore." I can't ask you either. Alright, you can go, and bring some wine when you have time. ”
Xue Wushu laughed, but for some reason his eyes were so moist.
"Cry a hair! There is eye water, and it is used when Lao Tzu dies and cries the grave. Get out of here, I'll get angry when I look at you. Dean Liao didn't look over, he didn't let Xue Wushu look at his face.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside, and Xue Wusuan also heard the crying of children and the shouting and scolding of some men.
Old man Liao stood up suddenly, with an angry face, and shouted in his mouth: "The dog is here again? It's just too deceitful!"
When Xue Wushu saw the old man's appearance, he guessed what was going on outside.
Stopping the old man Liao who was about to open the door and go out, he pouted and said, "Okay, sit and drink your bar." What are you involved in this kind of thing, an old man? I'll go and see, it's a big fart and it's like this. ”
"No! you're going to make a fuss. "The old man knew that Xue Wu was a mess or something, so he didn't feel at ease at all.
"Old man, what age is this, you still think I can only fight and kill like before? Don't worry, I'm measured. ”
In Old Man Liao's worried eyes, Xue Wushu raised his feet and walked out of the house and walked outside. Xin said: "Actually, I really don't know anything else except fighting and killing." ”
