Chapter 870

After dinner, Gu Jiuci and Si Chen took a walk along Hedao Old Street.

"Today, the west of the city is not as developed as the east. There are old red brick houses along the river and the streets that have been passed down since the Republic of China. The government is unwilling to relocate them at a high price. Most of the old houses are in disrepair and can hardly be inhabited. Except for the elderly, there are only There are not many young people left.”

When Si Chen said this, he stopped Gu Jiuci sideways.

"The fly restaurant just now is actually not as delicious as the ones outside our school."

Gu Jiuci stopped and raised his lips with a sly smile.

"Those who know me, Chenchen, I am indeed not here to eat."

"Then why are you here out of nowhere? The Gu family's ancestral home doesn't seem to be here, right?"

"The Gu family's ancestral house has collapsed a long time ago. My mother has never seen it anyway, so my father doesn't care whether it is repaired or not."

Gu Jiuci waved his hand, but looked around.

"As for the purpose of my coming here, to be honest, it's to find someone."

As soon as she finished speaking, at the entrance of a tailor shop near the river, a few middle-aged men and an old man set up a small chess table. The middle-aged man who was playing chess suddenly shouted loudly.

"General!"

"Old Li, what kind of general are you!"

"I'm going to general next, can I tell you in advance?"

The middle-aged man, who was holding an old-fashioned banana fan and fanning constantly, replied unhappily.

Gu Jiuci smiled slightly and glanced at Si Chen.

"Now I feel like I've found this person."

"Who did you find?"

Si Chen looked confused and watched Gu Jiuci walk towards the group of elders playing chess.

"Uncle, what did he call you? If you take the next step, you will defeat his army!"

Gu Jiuci said to the white-haired old man opposite. When the old man heard this, he immediately followed her instructions, jumped his horse forward, and clapped his thigh happily!

"Old Li! Did you see that this is called a general?"

"Hey! What's wrong with you, little girl? Do you understand that you are a true gentleman who watches chess without speaking?"

The strange old man called Lao Li stood up angrily and glared at Gu Jiuci.

"You also said that I am a little girl. What kind of real gentleman can a little girl be? Besides, your chess is already bad. This uncle will still beat you in half an hour. I am just helping you save time. "

Gu Jiuci looked at the old man with a smile, and even showed two tiger teeth in a very annoying way.

"Whose unlucky child are you, coming to my place to cause trouble?"

The strange old man was so angry that he almost jumped up and roared loudly.

Gu Jiuci slowly opened his palm, revealing the rusty key.

"Uncle Li, I am the daughter of an old friend. I came here specifically to ask for something from my senior. Don't you want me to come to your house for tea?"

After Gu Jiuci finished speaking, he made a gesture of walking towards the tailor shop behind the old man.

The strange old man subconsciously blocked the door, and his eyes suddenly turned sharp and cold from those in the market.

"Where did you get this key?"

It was as if as long as Gu Jiuci said a word, her head would say goodbye to her neck in the next second.

"Of course my mother gave it to me. Where else could it come from? Favors from the Li family in Jiangnan are not that easy to find."

Gu Jiuci put away the key and spoke meaningfully.
