Cannon fodder female monk

Chapter 913 Go back, old woman

The place where the grandfather of Huodan lived was not rich. He walked around more than a dozen streets before arriving at the entrance of an alley, and the old man's house was behind the big banyan tree at the end of the alley. Old, vermilion yellow is very dull, and the paint on the door and the zipper is almost peeled off by itself, so the whole door looks old and mottled.

This should be a century old house.

Grandpa Huodan opened the door, and what he entered was a desolate yard overgrown with weeds. Obviously, the grandfather didn't take care of his yard very much. I don't know if he didn't have those thoughts or something.

After entering it, it can be seen that the grandfather's house is not small. There are three yards inside and three outside. Such a family looks like a big family, but no one comes and goes, and it is deserted.

Seeing Li Dai looking around the yard, Grandpa Huodan couldn't help sighing:

"This is the yard of my old employer. Decades ago, the old owner suddenly fell ill and left, and his descendants also died inexplicably one after another. The old owner knew that he had offended someone, and his children and grandchildren were gone. The house was let me take over, as for the other shops of the old owner, they were all robbed, and our old owner was also the richest man in this coastal sand city at that time, and it was also coveted, which led to the murder."

"The person who harmed the old club also looked down on this yard. After the old club died alone, it would be easier for me, the manager."

"Hey, why am I telling you this? It was a long time ago. Now that the situation is chaotic, those who harmed the old club's family have also received retribution. After the Fu family was ransacked, he was the second Fat sheep, but that person still values ​​money too much, thinking that he can transfer the valuable things away, but in the end he got killed, this can be regarded as karma."

"That's right." Li Dai nodded, "There is indeed cause and effect." Most of the time, what you do is what you do. It's not that you don't report bad things, it's just that the time hasn't come.

In this way, it also makes sense why a grandfather who sells goods has such a large, dilapidated and desolate yard.

After passing through three arches, one enters an inner courtyard with a hanging 'Begonia Garden'. Compared with the desolation of other courtyards, the inner courtyard of this Begonia Garden is obviously much better. It should look like someone has lived and taken care of it for a long time.

That's right, the grandfather sells goods by himself, and there are no special servants to clean the six yards in total, and they don't usually live there, so naturally there is no need to clean them up.

As soon as you step into the Begonia Garden, you will be greeted by a scent of crabapple flowers. The garden is full of crabapple flowers. It is really beautiful. Although it cannot be compared with those places in the cultivation world that are full of aura, it is still an elegant place.

As soon as he entered, the old man quickened his pace and shouted loudly:

"My wife, my wife, I'm back."

Behind a piece of crabapple flowers is a tidy corridor, and behind the corridor is a quaint and somewhat old house.

The door of one of the rooms opened with a 'squeak', and an old woman wearing a gray printed bunt came out. She was short and a little fat, but she was not ugly. She looked like a kind old grandmother.

With a smile on her face, the old lady looked towards the footsteps, "Old man, you're back."

"Who is this girl?" After getting closer, the old lady saw Li Dai, and couldn't help asking in surprise.

"This is a kind girl. She saw those refugees at the gate of the city who wanted to help, but fortunately I stopped them in time. Otherwise, the light ones would be run out of the city, and the serious ones would be like our poor granddaughter." Here, the old man is inevitably a little sad.

In fact, at the beginning, Li Dai didn't know whether Li Dai was an old man who was an outsider. He held Li Dai and called her to his home, which was also a kind of empathy.

As a small businessman who sells goods, no one dares to hurt his family, especially those bastards who make a living by robbery. Even if it is robbing, it is going out to rob those refugees.

Most of the refugees have no food and clothing and live a difficult life, but it is not ruled out that there may be one or two who have goods on their bodies. Most of those who have goods on their bodies are young and middle-aged refugees. It is very simple to rob them, as long as a group of people threaten their family members, or directly beat them like a crush, they can rob them of their only things.

This is also the reason why the bastards are in groups.

And the old man is a small businessman who sells goods, and his family is also protected by officers and soldiers who collect taxes. As long as there are bastards who go to snatch them, they can report to the officials immediately. It is related to their own interests. There are big losses.

However, just because Hunzi didn't dare to do anything to the old man's family, it didn't mean that the officers and soldiers didn't dare.

Sometimes those officers and soldiers can be said to be more thieves than gangsters. They levy taxes openly and collect all the income, making people dare not speak out, so no matter how dissatisfied the businessman is, he dare not say anything.

And what each businessman does, there is a base tax every month, don't think about being lazy in business, the money you pay every month must be two-thirds of the best business time, if you don't meet the minimum standard, then you have to pay subject to criminal law.

Many businessmen think that no matter how hard they work, no matter how much money they earn, they will not get it in their hands, so they are lazy, and the result is that they will be tortured to death by the criminal law.

Speaking of which, the old man’s hatred for the officers and soldiers and the ruler is far greater than those robbers and bastards, because the old man’s granddaughter was tortured alive by those officers and soldiers, oh, no, it shouldn’t be said that she is gone It's just that the poor child can't wake up like a puppet. It's been three months since she was injured all over her body. The grandpa and grandma put medicine on her every day, but it still hasn't healed.

And their granddaughter encountered such a terrible thing because the granddaughter was a kind child. She didn't hold back the first time she saw the officers and soldiers killing the refugees, and stepped forward to persuade them. Without knowing it, the little granddaughter was arrested by a group of officers and soldiers, and twelve kinds of torture like needle sticks were used on her body. When the granddaughter was released, she was already unconscious.

It was precisely because he knew the horror of those officers and soldiers that the old man stopped Li Dai in time. He didn't want the little girl to repeat the tragedy of his granddaughter, so he suddenly felt compassion.

Now in the entire Dajing Dynasty, there are almost no good people in the court, and the upper and lower are effective. The ruler is lustful and fatuous, and the people below are also rotten from the root.

Not to mention that, when the old lady heard the old man talking about his granddaughter, thinking of the wounded granddaughter who is still unconscious, the old lady was also sad for a while, and her eyes looked more loving when she looked at Li Dai.

"Okay, come in and talk."

The old woman led Li Dai into the guest room. It was a very comfortable room. She let Li Dai sit down, and made tea for Li Dai very intimately. She was full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm.

Li Dai waved her hand, "You two old people don't need to trouble you, I'm really sorry to disturb you." She said very politely.

After listening to Li Dai's words, the old lady didn't bother about anything else, and knelt down at the coffee table opposite Li Dai, and greeted her.

It can be seen that although the two are getting older, they still have a kind of family demeanor, and they are so particular about hospitality.

Li Dai took a sip of herbal tea, put another piece of dessert into her mouth, and said:

"What are the names of the two seniors?"

"Haha, little girl, you can call me Grandpa Xu, just call her Grandma Hua." Originally, Li Dai was brought back because of a moment of pity. , my granddaughter may have to lie down for a lifetime and never wake up again. If Li Dai can recognize them as grandparents, it can also divert the attention of the old woman and make her happy.

After observing all the way, he deeply felt that Li Dai was a good boy with good manners, and his determination to recognize Li Dai became more and more firm.

And Li Dai, no matter where she came from, as long as she became their god-granddaughter, her life safety would be more than half guaranteed, and the child would not refuse anything that was beneficial or harmless.

Li Daisi didn't know what the old man was thinking, and when she arrived at the destination, she finally asked what she wanted to know, looked at the two old men, and said:

"Can you tell me something about the Dajing court? Who is ruling now? What is his name? What is the state of the country? Please tell me."

If it wasn't for such a private question, and it was about the politics of a country, Li Dai might have collected information as before, and went to the inn and wine shop, instead of following an old grandfather home.

Obviously, the hearts of the two old people are not as good as Li Dai's. Seeing Li Dai talking about state affairs openly, they were really frightened. The old man even jumped up from his seat. In front of him, he said nervously: "Oh, my good granddaughter, why do you dare to ask me anything?" After he finished speaking, he subconsciously looked out the window, patted his chest, and looked very grateful, "It's okay, it's okay This is our own home."

Li Dai: "..."

What the hell is a good granddaughter?

However, in the ancient world of mortals, ordinary people dare not talk about politics, how could this be ignored.

Li Dai was not worried, and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, there are no outsiders here, that's all I want to know."

After being frightened, I knew that what Li Dai said was reasonable. Seeing that Li Dai wanted to know everything so urgently, the old man made a solemn expression, went back to sit and looked at Li Dai, "Since you want to know, I will tell you, old man. . " As he spoke, he looked at the old woman again, "My wife, you stay outside and call me immediately if there is any movement."

Even at home, the old man still felt unsafe, and asked his wife to let him out.

Li Dai wanted to say that there was no need at all, her spiritual sense enveloped the entire compound, and she would find out who came the first time.

However, such things as divine consciousness could not be clearly related to two mortals, so Li Dai simply kept silent.
