Chapter 193: The Old Woman
The wooden door opened, revealing an elderly woman in her seventies.
The old woman had white hair and wrinkles on her face, but she did not show her ugliness, showing that she should have been a stunning woman when she was young.
When the old woman saw the two people outside the door, her rickety back wanted to stand as upright as possible, but no matter how hard she tried, it was still useless, so she had to bow and say:
"The old woman has seen two inspectors!"
Seeing this, the old monk hurriedly lifted the old woman up with both hands, and said with some eagerness:
"Madame Lian, please get up quickly, what are you doing here?
When the old woman heard this, she smiled slightly, and did not look at the two, but turned around and walked towards the door tremblingly, nagging as she went:
"Looks like it's time to collect rent again, this is the first time......
The young man looked at the thin back of the old woman and suddenly asked:
"Big brother, this ...... Wouldn't it be the woman you call the country and the city......"
Seeing the other party nodding, the young man couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
After a long time, the figure of the old woman appeared in the sight of the two of them, and she was still holding a cloth bag the size of a skull in her hand, which looked quite heavy, and it was really hard to imagine how such a thin figure could hold the bag in her hand......
The old woman stepped forward and handed the bag in her hand to the elder monk with trembling hands.
The elder monk took the cloth bag and opened it with his hand, and found that it was actually a bag full of spirit stones!
"Madam Lian, what does this mean?" the older monk asked with an ugly face.
The old woman smiled, looked at the two people in front of her with slightly cloudy eyes, and then said:
"Most of what you gave me before has been spent to subsidize the family, and now it's only that, I hope the inspectors don't ...... too little."
After hearing this, the elder monk couldn't help but be anxious, and said a little unprepared:
"Madam, this can't be helped! If you hadn't given that 'Zhuji Dan' to you, how could you have stagnated in the tenth layer of Qi refining? How could I, Qin Peng, have today? With such a great grace, how could Qin have forgotten it! Your move today has undoubtedly made Qin feel ashamed!"
The old woman smiled, with a look of memory in her eyes, looked at Qin Peng and said:
"You don't have to mind, you've helped me a lot over the years, although on the surface it's just to send some spirit stones when collecting rent, but I don't know what you did for me behind my back? Not to mention my own qualifications, I know that it is impossible for a mere foundation building pill to help me successfully build a foundation, and this is also my life......
"But ......" Qin Peng seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by the old woman waving her hand:
"You don't have to say more, my time is short, these spirit stones have no effect on me, it is better to leave them to useful people, although it is not much, but it can be regarded as letting me do something right......"
When the old woman had finished speaking, she turned away from the two of them and hobbled towards the house.
Qin Peng was originally a dignified seven-foot man, but at this time, his eyes were red, and he looked at the thin figure of the other party and suddenly shouted:
"Aren't you waiting for him?!"
The old woman's body suddenly shook and stopped in place, Qin Peng saw this, his face was overjoyed, and he just wanted to say something more, but the old woman walked forward slowly, and said to herself:
"What's the use of waiting, my face is no longer the same person I used to be......"
A drop of liquid fell on the bluestone slab at the old woman's feet, although there was no sound, it was more like thunder!
Qin Peng didn't shake his head and sigh until the figure of the old woman disappeared into the door, raised his head, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Let's go......"
The young man didn't say a word from beginning to end, and when he saw Qin Peng going away alone, he lowered his head and followed.
Soon after the two left, a cyan figure suddenly appeared where the two had just stood.
Lin Yu looked at the half-cut jade pendant in his hand and walked towards the house.
"The old woman's humble house is simple, Taoist friends, please take care of it......" As soon as Lin Yu entered the house, he heard the old woman's voice sound, and his eyes couldn't help but look around the room, and then he arched his hand to the old woman sitting on the chaise longue.
"But Lian Senpai?!"
As soon as Lin Yu's words fell, the swaying movement of the recliner under the old woman suddenly stopped, turned her head and glanced at Lin Yu carefully, and said with disappointment in her eyes:
"Senior Lian, Daoist friend laughed, there is no person surnamed Lian here, let alone senior......"
When Lin Yu heard this, he smiled, and he was not angry, he stepped forward and said:
"Lin is a layman, accustomed to secular etiquette, since the seniors are older, the juniors should call themselves "seniors"!"
After Lin Yu finished speaking, the old woman glanced at him seriously, got up and said:
"Daoyou is absolutely extraordinary, just now the slave family was neglected!"
When Lin Yu heard the word "slave family", he couldn't help but have a strange meaning in his heart, and without saying much, he took out a thing from his arms, which was the half of the jade pendant!
The old woman's eyes have never left since Lin Yu took out the half of the jade pendant, her eyes looked at the jade pendant in Lin Yu's hand motionlessly, and the tears in her eyes couldn't stop pouring out, as if she was enchanted.
Lin Yu didn't expect the other party's reaction to be so big, and he was a little at a loss.
The old woman trembled and took out a white handkerchief from her bosom and lifted it......
Lin Yu's eyes narrowed, and his face showed a sudden expression, and at this time he guessed the matter, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The handkerchief is undoubtedly wrapped in the other half of the jade pendant, and when the two halves of the jade pendant are closed, there is no gap in it!
He ...... Are you alright?"
The old woman asked suddenly in a choked voice.
"All well!"
After Lin Yu finished speaking, another porcelain bottle suddenly appeared in his hand, and then said:
"Among them, there are four "Tsukidan", which Bai Qiong asked me to deliver to you, and he also asked me to bring a sentence "See you in the old place in three days"!"
The old woman didn't react when she heard "Tsukidan", but when she heard the word "old place", her body couldn't help but tremble, and tears burst out of her eyes like a, which seemed to contain countless sadness!
After a long time, the old woman calmed down, and the jade pendant was handed to Lin Yu and said:
"There is a friend of the Daoist, and I ask the friend to tell him that Lian'er is dead......" The words were full of pleading.
Lin Yu sighed, looked at the other party's appearance and pleading color, and suddenly felt a sadness in his heart for no reason, and said:
"It's hard for Shu Lin to obey his fate, these words are better than the seniors who told him personally!"
When the old woman heard this, her face was like ashes, and she suddenly said with an excited expression:
"How can I see him like this?! I was clearly promised for ten years! But I waited here for ten years after another! Do you know how I survived this decade after decade? Looking at the face in the mirror that is getting old day after day, do you know that my heart is like a knife? Now that I am finally about to be freed, he appears at this time! I hate it so much, I hate it so much......
As she spoke, the old woman threw herself to the table beside her, where there was a delicate jade vase, but it revealed an air of despair......
