Inherit the family's old shop

Chapter 14 The Desperate Way
That night, I slept in the backyard of the old cripple. There was only one bed in the inner room. I took it out to see, it turned out to be a small wooden sign with twisted rune-like things on it, the old cripple asked me to carry it in my arms, so that I could sleep well at night, and it was rare for me to sleep this night No nightmares.

When I woke up early in the morning, the old cripple was already sitting on the head of the bed looking at the cigarette pot, with a sad look on his face and a bit of exhaustion. Seeing that I woke up, the old cripple asked, "How is it? Did you sleep soundly?"

I nodded my head, "It's okay, I didn't have a nightmare all night, and I only slept well last night in the past few days!"

The old cripple glanced at me, "Hmph, boy, you slept soundly, my old man didn't sleep last night!"

When I heard it, I was shocked, "Master, what's going on?"

The old cripple shook his head, "Son, someone came over there last night and said they wanted to take you to the bridal chamber, but I didn't answer, no... a group of people couldn't enter the house, so they just babbled and sang operas outside, making a whole mess One night!"

The old cripple sighed, "We have to hurry up and go out to discuss with the family. If the family really disagrees, my old man will prepare for it earlier, hey. This matter is not easy to handle! "

As soon as the old cripple took me out, the coffin shop sent someone over. The Cheng family couldn't enter the old house, so the people sent came and said they were taking the old cripple there. Boss Cheng had something urgent to do.

He rushed over in a hurry, and when he arrived at the coffin shop, Boss Cheng was waiting at the door. As soon as he saw the old cripple, he came over, "Old man, you are here, this matter is troublesome!"

"What's the matter!" The old cripple's expression changed accordingly, Boss Cheng didn't say anything, he held up his hand and led the old cripple to the backyard. I didn't intend to go there, but the old cripple gave me a wink , I also followed in.

The three of them went straight to the door of Mr. Cheng's house, entered the door, and saw that Mr. Cheng was put on a big bed, wearing a blue and white cloth shroud, his bony body was only skinny, and his sunken eye sockets were bulging. Yes, this old man is actually dying with nothing to rest on his eyes!

The old cripple leaned over to take a look, and his face suddenly changed, "Last night. Who can keep the funeral?"

Boss Cheng hurriedly said, "Uncle, my father is the only son like me, of course I'm the one who died!"

The old cripple drooped his eyelids, glanced at Boss Cheng intentionally or unintentionally, opened his mouth to say something, swallowed it again in an instant, took two steps towards Old Master Cheng, and sighed, "Old thing, you old boy, hey, Tell me what to say about you!"

After all, the old cripple looked straight at Mr. Cheng for a while, then turned his head, "Let's go. Get busy with the things in front of us first. Let's go. Boy Cheng, use your phone number. I have something important to do!"

I can't see what the old cripple sees from Mr. Cheng, and I can't see the way other than opening his eyes, but I can feel the coldness of the old cripple's face in an instant. Not a good thing.

The old cripple didn't say much, and I didn't ask too much. Boss Cheng answered the phone at home, and the old cripple went out with everyone else in the house. I recalled my father's phone number and dialed it.

Two beeps, the other end of the phone was connected, "Hello, who is it!"

"Father is me, Jiu Jiner!" I replied, and when I heard it was me, my father's voice suddenly became three points higher, "Damn, where did you go, you little bastard, hurry up and tell me Get back!"

In fact, I have already thought of this opening sentence. I have been running quietly for so many days, and I have caused some bad luck for no reason. Standing in front of him, maybe a big slap shot will hit me.

In normal times, I'd just gossip with him, but there's something terrible about it, so I got straight to the point and told my dad the whole thing, although I couldn't see his But I can guess that he must be blowing his beard and staring in front of the phone at this time, I know him too well.

There was silence on the phone for a few seconds, and the father rarely said any bad words, and said, "Son, is what you said true?"

I answered, and the other end of the phone fell into silence again. I knew this was too evil, and my father would definitely not be able to accept it for a while.

"Son, this ancestral grave. I really dare not answer you!" Dad said something, and I could hear his helplessness on the phone, but then, Dad said again, "But... if you If you can survive to go home, maybe this matter can be saved?"

"Stay home" I thought to myself. I thought my father would not believe it at first, but I didn't expect my father to say such a sentence. I was stunned for a while, "What can I do if I go back, I will not escape after all!"

The old man said, "Come back, we won't be afraid if we can come back, then you have met a nobleman, that crippled old man should be someone, let him help, as long as we can go home, everything will be saved for us!" "

"Father, what you said is true?"

"Of course, how can I lie to you about such a terrible thing?" The old man replied in a serious tone.

Hearing what my father said, I felt more at ease suddenly, but at the same time, I was also a little puzzled, who gave him such confidence, this old cripple dare not say anything that is sure, and I, a commoner like me Dad, how dare you answer.But I believe that my father will never make fun of his own son's life.

Just as I was about to ask the old cripple, the old cripple suddenly reached out to answer my phone, and he said, "Father, my son. Let me ask, are you really sure?"

The old cripple's face was livid, the question was quite serious, the father answered on the phone, the old cripple stood there without saying anything, just said, "I will definitely send this child back to you safe and sound !"

Speaking of this, the old cripple took me to the old house. Boss Cheng repeatedly asked me to stay, but the old cripple seemed to be deliberately avoiding the affairs of Boss Cheng's house. On the way, the old cripple was silent all the way. After walking halfway, he suddenly asked me, "Son, what kind of family is your family? Tell the old man the truth!"

This sentence confused me, what kind of family is my family, ordinary ordinary people, "I smiled, "Master, what are you talking about, I can still fool you, my father is a bit capable, I did some business in the city, but it's not a big deal, is it? "

The old cripple shook his head, "No, ordinary people are not capable of handling such an errand, your family... I'm afraid it's not easy!"

What the old cripple said made me feel weird. I have been with my father for more than 20 years. I still don’t know what kind of person he is, but the old cripple insisted that my father is a character. I don't know what to say.

The old cripple didn't say much here, he just rushed back to the old house, back to the backyard, just at noon, the old cripple gave me some dry food, we ate, the old cripple talked about It's about my family.

"Boy, you really don't know what's going on in your family?" The old cripple muttered while eating his dry food, looking at his eyes, he said this sentence with absolute certainty. When I said that, I also doubted it a little bit, but over the years, I know my father too well. If he has that ability, it is impossible for me not to know a little bit.

I shook my head, the old cripple should have seen my doubts too, the old fox-like eyes are very thieves!
The old cripple nodded, and then talked about his unfinished method, "Boy, as I said at the beginning, there is a desperate way. In fact, unless it can break the situation in this house, otherwise, I will This method should be said to be the best!"
