sleepwalking

Chapter 1
Xiaohe Village belongs to Anxi Town, Dongan City.

It is located [-] kilometers south of Dong'an City, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery.

A young man walked into the village from the east end of the village.Looking at the blue brick and black tile house at the west end of the village with its head and feet sticking out of the shade of trees, he smiled: After more than 20 hours, I finally arrived home.

The young man's name is Zhang Xu, and he has been dependent on his grandfather Zhang Yuanli since he was a child.

More than ten years ago, Zhang Xu's father, Zhang Ming'an, was working on a construction site. An accident happened, and he was seriously injured and died.

The contractor paid 30 yuan in compensation.

Zhang Xu's mother Tang Qingqing took 20 of the money and ran away without a word.

At that time, Zhang Xu was ten years old.

Fortunately, Tang Qingqing didn't do anything wrong and left 10 yuan.

For the 10 yuan, Zhang Yuanli lived frugally and never used it.

It wasn't until Zhang Xu was admitted to university that Zhang Yuanli took out the money for Zhang Xu's university education.

After graduating from a second-rate university in Shenhai, Zhang Xu tried his best to find a job in Shenhai.

Trial period of three months.

Who would have thought that when the probationary period was about to end, he broke the boss and harassed the female colleague, and was dismissed by the boss for a reason.

Before leaving the company, he received a salary of more than 2000 yuan.

Zhang Xu also figured it out, there is no point in staying in a big city, it is better to go home.

The family has [-] mu of land, where rice, wheat, and vegetables are planted, and the production is enough for him and his grandfather to live on.

Moreover, my grandfather is getting older and needs someone to take care of him.

When I walked to the door of my yard, the yard door was not closed. I could see in the yard. On the flower bed to the east, there were roses, roses, and oleanders in full bloom.

There is a road paved with blue bricks in the yard, leading from the gate to several houses in the south of the yard.

An old man, wearing a gray shirt on his upper body, coarse trousers on his lower body, and a pair of old-fashioned shoes on his feet, hunched over, was cleaning the flat ground in the yard.

Zhang Xu stepped into the courtyard with a big stride, "Grandpa..."

This old man is naturally Zhang Yuanli.

Zhang Yuanli turned around and smiled pleasantly when he saw Zhang Xu, "Xiao Xu, are you back?"

Zhang Xu stepped forward and took Zhang Yuanli's arm, "Grandpa, I'm back and I won't leave. I will help you farm from now on."

Zhang Yuanli nodded, "That's fine. Now that we have telephones, Internet, and cable TV installed in the countryside, it's no worse than in the city. Just come back when you come back."

"Grandpa, I'm going to pack my luggage."

"Go."

Zhang Xu walked into his room, and suddenly his eyes became hot, and tears were about to flow down.

The room he lives in has only one desk, one bed, one wardrobe, and two chairs.Very crude.

Although simple, it is very neat.Whether it's on the table, on the chair, or on the ground, there is no dust at all.Once the bedding is laid, people can live directly.

Apparently it was Grandpa Zhang Yuanli who often cleaned.

Zhang Xu put down his luggage and walked out of the house.

"Grandpa, let me sweep. You take a rest." Zhang Xu said.

Zhang Yuanli didn't let go, "Xiao Xu, you just came back, drink some water, and rest. Grandpa does these jobs every day, so he doesn't get tired."

Zhang Xu refused, and reached out to grab the broom in Zhang Yuanli's hand, but Zhang Yuanli dodged with the broom.

The wooden broom brushed the hook on Zhang Xu's arm.

Immediately, blood flowed down.

The blood flowed down the arm to Zhang Xu's wrist, staining a small jasper pendant on Zhang Xu's wrist with a red string.

The pendant is a small jasper fish with a hole in its mouth, hanging on a circle of red rope, and it has been on Zhang Xu's wrist since he can remember.

Zhang Yuanli took a look, dropped the broom, and took Zhang Xu's arm, "Xiao Xu, is there something wrong..."

Zhang Xu smiled, "Grandpa, it's nothing. It doesn't hurt at all."

After speaking, Zhang Xu took out a tissue from his pocket, wiped the blood on his arm, and then pressed the tissue on the wound.

Zhang Xu and Zhang Yuanli didn't notice that the blood on Biyu Xiaoyu was not wiped clean, but somehow it was absorbed by Biyu Xiaoyu.At the same time, the jasper fish emitted a faint green light.

However, the green light flickered for a while, then dimmed again.

Zhang Yuanli still looked distressed.

Zhang Xu smiled, "Grandpa, there is nothing wrong, look, there is no bleeding."

As he said that, Zhang Xu took away the tissue, and sure enough, there was no bleeding.

Zhang Yuanli breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, several people appeared outside Zhang's courtyard.

Walking in the front was a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, with an imposing appearance.

Next to this middle-aged man is an old man in a Tang suit with a bun.

This old man, with a beard and white hair, and a snow-white beard fluttering on his chest, looks quite a bit tall.

There are also a few burly men following behind, and it seems that the bodyguards are first-class.

Seeing these people, Zhang Yuanli's face darkened.

The man walking in the front showed a somewhat flattering smile when he saw Zhang Yuanli, "Mr. Zhang, this time, I will pay 500 million to buy your house in this courtyard. With 500 million, you can not only buy it in the city If you buy a good house in the district, the remaining money can help you live a rich life."

"This is your grandson, right? He really is a good-looking talent. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your grandson. Five million is enough for him to change his life and live a life of a master."

Zhang Yuanli said with a sullen face, "This is the ancestral house, it's not for sale."

The smile on the man's face remained the same, "Maybe you should ask your grandson whether to sell it or not, after all, you don't have much time left."

After hearing the man's words, a trace of panic flashed across Zhang Yuanli's face, and he looked at Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu's face darkened, and he said, "What are you talking about? Cursing my grandfather?"

The man showed an exaggerated expression of surprise, "You don't know?"

Zhang Xu said, "Know what?"

Zhang Yuanli said loudly, "You go, this ancestral house is not for sale. Stop being so nagging here."

As he said that, Zhang Yuanli stretched out his hand, and was about to drive these people away.

The man leaned his neck back and said to Zhang Xu, "Your grandfather is suffering from cancer. If he can be well nursed and treated, he may still live for three to five years. If he doesn't care, it may only be a few months. "

"Sell the house and have money to treat your grandfather. You know, it takes a lot of money to recuperate and treat a disease like cancer."

As he said that, the man took out a business card and stuffed it into Zhang Xu's hand, "My name is Zhao Yunjia, and there is my phone number on it. If you think about it, call me. I'll be here anytime."

Saying that, Zhao Yunjia stopped pestering, took his people, turned and left.

After hearing Zhao Yunjia's words, Zhang Xu felt like he was struck by lightning, his whole body was numb, and he stood there in a daze: Grandpa, he is actually suffering from a terminal illness and only has a few months left.

Zhang Xu looked at his grandfather Zhang Yuanli, "Grandpa, is what he said true?"
