The years when I was an old man

The Liu family's ancestral home is located in a village called Guitian below Banna.

It is said that this village was once poor, but after Liu Yun succeeded in repairing the blue road.

He donated a lot of money to the village successively, building roads and bridges.

This also made the Liu family's status in this village unique for a while.

It was almost dawn when we reached the village.

After parking the car at the intersection, I explained to Lao Hei and Xiao Shi.

He and Xiaoduo went straight into the village.The outline of the village can already be seen in the morning light of dawn.

The upper reaches of the village are all newly built buildings.

On the downwind side, there are still old ordinary houses with scum.

Liu Xiaoshou told me that the Liu family's old house and ancestral hall are in the uppermost part of the air, in the middle.

Xiaoduo and I walked upwind, before we found the old house.

Suddenly, I saw a quiet alley.A few figures flashed.

The one standing at the front looked at us vigilantly, and asked in a deep voice:

"What?"

I didn't answer, but took out the jade tablet and handed it over.

The man inspected it, then turned sideways to let us in.

When I reached the gate of the ancestral house, I looked up.

The majestic style of this ancestral house, with blue bricks and gray tiles, gives people a feeling that the house is as deep as the sea.

The gate of the house was tightly closed.

I gently tapped the iron ring on the door a few times.

Soon, the black door slowly opened.

At the door, stood a man in his fifties.

He sullenly looked us up and down.

I handed over the jade token, and the man took it and looked at it repeatedly, and replied:

"Look at the face, who are you from?"

Liu Yunxiu has so many places, and his employees number in the thousands.Face to face, I can tell the truth.

It's just that he said who is it, obviously trying to test me.

"Master Hand, keep running outside!"

The man's eyes were on Xiaoduo and me, looking back and forth.

Suddenly, he took a few steps back.Shen Sheng shouted angrily:

"Take it for me!"

As soon as the voice fell, several figures flashed on both sides of the gate.

Without saying a word, these people rushed towards Xiaoduo and me.

I was startled, my first reaction was that Liu Xiaoshou had tricked me.

But after thinking about it, he is now controlled by Lao Hei and the mute.

In terms of cherishing life, he should be more afraid of death than me.

I was afraid that Xiaoduo would overreact, so I hurriedly pulled Xiaoduo back a few steps.

At the same time, I yelled into the door:

"What are you doing?"

While speaking, a group of thugs had already surrounded Xiaoduo and me.

And the sinister man just now said in a deep voice:

"Master Shou is away all the time. It is even more impossible for him to leave this jade card, why is it in your hand?"

Those who walk the rivers and lakes are naturally more vigilant than ordinary people.

I looked at him, pretended to be angry, and said:

"You're smart, you call Grandpa Shou. Isn't everything clear?"

The man squinted his eyes and looked at me darkly.

He took out his cell phone, pressed the speakerphone, and dialed Liu Xiaoshou's number.

Soon, Liu Xiaoshou's sleepy voice came from the opposite side.

"What's wrong with calling so early?"

This person's attitude was obviously much humbler. He stared at me and asked cautiously:

"Master Shou, two unfamiliar faces came to the ancestral house. They took your jade token and said they belonged to you. I thought you were away all the time, why did the jade token belong to him? I feel something is wrong, and confront Master Shou caliber……"

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and I was suddenly startled.

Liu Xiaoshou is a variable, and now it is the boundary of the Liu family.

I'm afraid that he will be caught in the dark and reveal my identity.

"I'm back, right here in Banna!"

In one sentence, my heart rose to my throat.

Even more inadvertently, the knife slipped between his fingers.

As long as Liu Xiaoshou leaks a little more information, I will rush out without hesitation.

"The old matriarch went up the mountain last night and didn't sleep all night. She dreamed of the former Mr. Liu, and she felt uncomfortable. Let me send someone to pick up the third master Liu Baiyu, and go to the Great Buddha Temple to make amends..."

At this moment, my heart is at ease.

The man still looked suspicious, and he immediately asked again:

"Master Ke Shou, didn't the old lady say that? Apart from her, no one else is allowed to release the third master?"

I didn't expect that this person would be so difficult to deal with.

Liu Xiaoshou on the other end of the phone suddenly snorted coldly.

"Liu Wei, I have heard that you are becoming more and more popular in our Liu family. Do you want to take over the position of the dead Manager Liu, or do you want to replace me?"

The person named Liu Wei immediately said:

"Master Shou joked, Liu Wei didn't dare!"

"Don't dare? Oh, I think you are very brave. The old lady arranges my affairs, and I will do as instructed. If you have any doubts, you can call the old lady right now. I know, I, Liu Xiaoshou, will take care of it now. I can't leave you, Liu Wei. But don't say I didn't remind you, the old lady didn't close her eyes all night. She just fell asleep and disturbed the old lady's dream. Let's do it according to the family law..."

"Master Hand, I didn't mean that..."

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Xiaoshou hung up the phone.

Holding the phone, Liu Wei hesitated for a long time.

This time period is the old lady's rest time, and he absolutely dare not call the old lady.
