Chapter 11 Finding Old Friends and Adventures

Seeing the old wife like this, Lao Qi became anxious, and grabbed the old wife's arm, "No, old lady, listen, listen carefully, it's our courtyard door ringing! I'm not hysterical!!!"

As if responding to the old Qi Tou's words, at this moment, the rhythmic knock on the door sounded again.

Bang Bang Bang, Bang Bang Bang...

"Hey, it really is!"

Old Qi slapped his thigh for joy, but the old Qitou beside him couldn't wait any longer, and muttered, "No, I have to go and see, it must be an emergency to come to the door in the middle of the night."

He crawled over the old wife to the edge of the bed, put on his shoes and got out of bed, and couldn't wait for the old wife to light the oil lamp. Old Qi was about to leave with his shoes on, but it was the old Qi who couldn't stop yelling, "Damn!" Old man, it’s very cold in the mountains, and it’s cool at night, so you put on some clothes.” Then the old head Qi pulled up the clothes that he brushed off at the end of the bed when he rested at night, and opened the door to leave the house.

Quickly came to the main room, pulled the latch and opened the main room door, the knock on the door outside became clearer, Lao Qi propped up his clothes on his head and shoulders, stepped out of the main room in a hurry to the courtyard, opened his mouth and asked, "Who is outside?" ?”

Yu Chengzhao, who had been afraid to make a sound, knocked on the door for a long time, heard a familiar voice from the courtyard after the door opened, Yu Chengzhao hurriedly responded in a low voice, "Brother Qi, it's me."

"Who?"

"Me, Yu Laodao."

I have been an executioner all my life, and my skills are not built. For this reason, I am often teased by the old guys, so my brothers and friends who are close to him gave him such a nickname. Head, and only those who are close know it.

At first, the old Qitou thought he was seeking medical treatment, but when he heard the familiar low voice outside the door saying the word "Lao Dao", his rapid pace just became faster and faster. of.

Yu Su and Yu Bao's family, who were led by their grandfather, only heard a series of hurried footsteps approaching from far behind the courtyard gate, and then the sound of quickly pulling the door bolt.

As the door creaked and was pulled open, Yu Su couldn't see the person coming through the door clearly, and the excited voice of the other party rang in his ears.

"Brother Yu, why are you here?" It was still in the middle of the night.

Facing the old brother's astonishment and surprise, Yu Chengzhao looked around to confirm that there was no one there, and then looked at the old Qitou in the doorway, "Brother Qi, the outside is not a place to talk, can you enter the room?"

Old Qi came back to his senses, quickly moved out of the way, and greeted again and again, "Look at me, quickly enter the house, enter the house..."

When Yu Chengzhao thanked him, he led the two children and followed Lao Qitou and stepped into the courtyard door. The old Qi family behind him also came late holding an oil lamp, and stood at the door of the main room, raising his hand Looking at the lamp in the middle, he probed and asked, "Old man, who is here?"

Old Qitou was about to answer, but Yu Chengzhao who was beside him first took old Qitou's hand and shook his head at him, and said in a low voice: "Brother Qi, let's talk when we enter the room." Afraid that the partition wall has ears, he knocked on the door repeatedly. They dare not reveal their identities.

Seeing the old brother's appearance, Old Qi squinted his eyes, secretly startled, and immediately knew that his brother must have something serious, he hurriedly nodded to Yu Chengzhao to express his understanding, while talking about his old wife in the dark under the lamp, "Oh, no one, it's getting late, you go back to the house and go to sleep." At the same time, the old Qitou turned around quickly, and quickly closed the door and bolted it.

Holding the lamp, Old Qi, who hadn't adapted to the darkness outside, naturally couldn't see the three shadows, one big and two small, by the gate. The old lady who didn't think too much was very angry when she heard her wife perfunctory her. He muttered a few words, but he was about to pick up his wife in the yard with a lamp in hand.

As a result, when they came over, they saw Yu Chengzhao's grandfather and grandson, and they subconsciously wanted to speak out in surprise, but they were stopped by the old Qi who reacted in time.

Old Qitou nervously made a shush gesture to his wife, "Don't talk, go back to the house first."

Holding the oil lamp, the old Qi family turned his gaze around Cheng Zhao's grandparents and nodded repeatedly, then smiled politely at Yu Cheng Zhao and the others, hurriedly raised the oil lamp in his hand, and silently led the guests into the house.

Everything happened quietly, without disturbing anyone around.

As soon as he arrived at the main room, he closed the door of the main room with his backhand to isolate everything outside. Old Qi turned his head around. Seeing the dim light of the oil lamp in the old wife's hand, old Qi looked at his brother with concern.

"Brother Dao, why are you here? It's midnight, but what's the matter?"

Facing the old brother's question, Yu Chengzhao patted the two children who were clinging to him on the left and the right, and looked at the old friend with a wry smile, "Brother Qi, to be honest, he came to the door suddenly, The brothers have something to ask for."

Old Qi's head thumped suddenly.

The old brother's faltering appearance now made him very uneasy, and he doubted that the brother might have encountered some serious incident, or else with his temper, he would never come to his door in the middle of the night, let alone be so heavy now. expression.

Old Qitou was worried, and when he saw his brother looking at the two children and his wife beside him, he was embarrassed. He understood, is it not good to say it in front of them?
After thinking about it, the old Qi changed his expression, stepped forward enthusiastically, greeted Yu Su and Yu Bao's family to sit down at the square table in the main room, turned to look at the old wife and hurriedly gave orders.

"Old lady, Brother Yu came here in a hurry at night. He must have not eaten yet. Go to the kitchen to see if there is anything to eat. Hurry up and get some for them. The children must be starving."

When Old Qi heard that she didn't have any children, she liked children very much in her heart. When she heard that the children were starving, she didn't bother to wonder why her man's old man came to the door in the middle of the night, so she nodded repeatedly. , greeted Yu Chengzhao, grandparents and grandchildren with a smile, and hurried to the kitchen, and soon there was a sound from the kitchen outside.

Following the old wife's departure, Old Qi looked at Yu Chengzhao again, his eyes beckoning, and he thought that he could finally speak this time.

Seeing this, Yu Chengzhao secretly returned the look of an old buddy saying something, and before leaving, he told Yu Bao's family: "Erlang, Grandpa has something to say to you, Grandpa Qi, please be careful here and don't run around."

"Okay Grandpa."

His second brother's straightforward response sounded in his ears, and Yu Su felt the force coming from his hand was heavier, and looked down at his little paw, which was already soaked in sweat, which was held tightly by his second brother;
Looking at the second brother under the dim light, his face was solemn and nervous;
Yu Su heard the sound of dishes coming from the kitchen outside, and finally looked at his grandfather and Grandpa Qi who were standing in the shadow outside the main room, whispering to each other, Yu Su panicked.

Outside the door of the main room, avoiding the two little ones in the room who were trying their best to eavesdrop, Yu Chengzhao was on guard while lowering his voice to tell the old brother the truth.

"...Brother Qi, that's the thing. If you feel risky and dare not respond, brother, it's okay. I still remember your kindness, brother. I will take the child away immediately. Just pretend that brother didn't come tonight.

"Brother Dao, what are you talking about! The life-threatening friendship between you and my brother, isn't my brother saying that he is an outsider with my brother? Besides, if I didn't have to save my brother when I was young Me, where is my Qi Dahe today?"

Back then, in order to make ends meet, he was a second-hand medical expert, so he went to the city to practice medicine in order to show his power, but unfortunately, he encountered an emergency patient who made him blind, and the family members still refused to listen to the doctor's orders, and the result was not good. In other words, he put someone to death, and was beaten up by the unreasonable relatives of the patient, not to mention losing all his family property, but he was even tied up and sent to the official to let him die!

At that time, if the old brother in front of him hadn't helped him, he would have turned into a handful of loess long ago. How could he just hurt his kidneys and end up with no children for the rest of his life?

There is no repayment for the kindness of saving lives. Anyway, the husband and wife have no descendants to care about, and there are no scruples behind them. The old brother is in trouble. It is said that they themselves think about their children, but there is no such thing. The benefactor encountered trouble. He Qi Dahe has no reason to refuse.

Qi Dahe slapped his not-so-strong chest, "Brother Yu, don't worry, the two children will be safe in my house. If Qi Dahe is with me for a day, our husband and wife will protect them for a day. Dahe will never let these two kids go hungry!"
