Chapter 219
Seeing Granny Xu's face turn pale, Su Tao suddenly became suspicious.

Could it be that someone came to trouble her?
After appeasing Mrs. Xu, Su Tao walked to the door with a vigilant expression.

"Who?"

Chi Sheng was taken aback when he heard a familiar voice coming from the door, why is Miss Su in Niu Niu Village?
"Miss Su?"

Su Tao in the courtyard also recognized Chi Sheng's voice, and then she turned to Granny Xu and said, "Grandma Xu, I know people outside, they are not bad people."

"Really? Since you know him, let him in."

Granny Xu looked relieved, and nodded in agreement.

After receiving Granny Xu's words, Su Tao opened the door.

Seeing that Su Tao was indeed standing in the yard, Chi Sheng couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why is Miss Su in the village?"

"I'm here to see a relative."

Su Tao opened the door and let them into the yard, then bolted the door carefully, and then went back to the yard and sat down.

"What are you doing here?"

Granny Xu looked at the two people, one big and one small, with some doubts.

"We came to the village to find someone, and we want to ask for a drink at your house."

"Looking for someone?"

"Yes, we are looking for the old man for the elders."

Chi Sheng said frankly.

"Looking for an old friend..."

Granny Xu repeated this sentence, her eyes were a little dazed.

"Who are you looking for?"

Su Tao brought out two bowls of water and asked with raised eyebrows.

"Mrs. Xu."

Su Tao paused when he handed the water over, and Granny Xu's face turned three points pale.

"Why are you looking for Mrs. Xu?"

"Ask for wine."

Of

After saying this, Chi Sheng paused for a moment before adding: "Grandpa Xu asked us to find her and ask for a prescription for Qianjinjiu."

"He asked you to come?"

Granny Xu's voice trembled, and even her outstretched hand trembled uncontrollably.

Seeing Chi Sheng and Xiao Qi nodding, Grandma Xu suddenly laughed twice. Su Tao wanted to help her sit down, but found that the old man's eyes were already full of tears.

"For so many years, so many years, he never came to see me, but asked you to come to me for a prescription?"

As Xu Po spoke, tears were already streaming down her face.

She sneaked here with Xu Lang in the early years. She thought that the two of them could live a normal life of men farming and women weaving, but she didn't realize that she followed a heartless person.

Since he left, although she felt resentful in her heart, she still had some luck after all.

What if he had to leave?
What if he just had something to hide?
What if, what if he came back in another year?

Because of these lucks, she has been waiting in this village day and night since she was 23 years old.

After 43 years, she finally turned herself into a silver-haired old woman, but what was waiting was him asking someone to ask for a drink.

Grandma Xu just hunched over like that, big teardrops poured out of her cloudy eyes due to her age, leaving deep marks on the yellow mud.

Seeing Xu Po like this, Su Tao felt very uncomfortable.

She met Mrs. Xu two and a half years ago. At that time, she had just arrived in Yancheng and was unable to settle in the city because of being a refugee. Mrs. Xu took her back to Niuniu Village to live in Niuniu Village seeing her pity.

After more than ten days of getting along with her, she saw Granny Xu sitting in the courtyard and staring at the door in a daze all day long. Even though she later had a property in Yancheng, she only shook her head and refused to take her to live in the city.

Now it seems that Granny Xu is afraid that when the heartbroken man comes back, he will lose sight of her, right?

Su Tao felt uncomfortable, and when Chi Sheng said this, he also thought of Xu Sheng in Qingfeng Village.

Xu Sheng is 70 years old this year, and he has always been lonely in the village. This time he asked them to come here to find people, and he himself was a little curious.

After all, Xu Sheng has never told anyone what happened to him since he entered the village at the age of 28, and everyone thought that he could not survive alone, so he chose to go to the mountain.

Until now, they didn't know that he was a family man in his early years.

Thinking of Xu Sheng's current appearance, Chi Sheng only felt a little disappointed.

There may be some misunderstanding between the two old men...

"Let's go, I want the wine party, unless I let him come to see me by himself."

Granny Xu wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and waved her hand to reject Chi Sheng's request.

She wanted to take a look, to see what the heartbroken man looked like now.

Chi Sheng didn't speak anymore, but Xiao Qi who was beside him said, "Grandpa Xu can't go down the mountain."

Granny Xu was taken aback, looked at Xiao Qi who was beside her and asked, "Why?"

"Grandpa Xu lost a leg, so he can't go down the mountain, he will fall."

Xiao Qi admitted, and added: "His eyes can't see, so he can't come to the village."

"Retribution...it's all retribution..."

Xu Po murmured, but her tone was not happy, only sad, followed by hot tears falling on the mud under her feet.

Su Tao helped Granny Xu to sit down, looking at Chi Sheng hesitant to speak.

"Miss Su, if you have something to say, just say it."

Seeing her staring at him, Chi Sheng sighed.

"That old man, did you say anything else?"

Su Tao looked at Chi Sheng with a probing tone.

Chi Sheng paused, and then said: "Mr. Xu only said that he was sorry for Granny Xu. If she had already remarried, let us pretend that there was no such thing. If, if Granny Xu still waited for him, it would be fine." Let's say, say he's dead."

Granny Xu's already ugly face looked even more haggard, would she rather lie to herself that she was dead than take a look at herself?

Seeing that Mrs. Xu's expression became more and more dazed, Su Tao hurriedly asked: "Then why Mr. Xu left in the first place, do you know?"

"He never said that."

Chi Sheng shook his head, Su Tao was a little disappointed, Granny Xu had been waiting for that person for decades, although she didn't think it was worth it, she still hoped to give Granny Xu a better answer.

"Let's go, I won't give you the prescription for wine."

Granny Xu has stopped crying at this moment, but she seems to be ten years older than before, and has no energy anymore.

She has worked so hard for decades, but in the end it was just her own wishful thinking.

"Grandma, Grandpa Xu asked me to give this to you."

The atmosphere turned cold, but Xiao Qi suddenly took out a small wooden figure from her arms and handed it to Granny Xu.

The wooden figurine is only less than two inches long, and because it has been rubbed by people for many years, it has long been difficult to see the appearance of the villain.

The wooden figurine was placed in his hands, and Granny Xu's gray eyes became bright again.

She tried her best to open her eyes wide, and carefully looked at the oily wooden figure.

After being out of focus for a while, Granny Xu finally sighed and got up tremblingly with her crutches.

"Just wait, I'll get the wine party out."

Granny Xu's back was even more stooped when she walked, her silver hair was slightly shaken by the wind, but she held the little wooden figure tightly in her hand, like a jewel like a treasure.

"Xiaoqi, when did Grandpa Xu, the wooden villain, give it to you?"

"He gave it to me quietly, just before we left."

Xiao Qi looked at Chi Sheng, with a calm expression on his face that didn't match his age.

Xu Sheng likes children very much, maybe because he is old, or maybe because Xiao Qi is the most boring person in the village, he always tells many stories to Xiao Qi.

There is always a girl in those things.
