Siheyuan: At the beginning, I was chased by a rich woman

Li Ye didn't know how the Zheng family's mother and daughter were feeling at the moment.

After we, Li Ye, went out, we went directly back to the guest house and started sleeping.

After sleeping until the afternoon, Li Ye made some calculations and realized that he would not be able to spare time to go to Changbai Mountain unless Zhang Xiangyang and the others resolved their issues.

So Li Ye decided to have some snacks and go over to see how things were going over there.

Just after Li Ye got up and packed up, he was about to leave, but unexpectedly, Li Ye saw the old man he met on the train wandering over.

As soon as he saw the other party, Li Ye smiled and waved.

"Old Tian, ​​I'm here."

When Lao Tian heard Li Ye's greeting, he raised his head and looked at Li Ye, and then looked at Li Ye as if he was ready to go out.

The old man's expression was a little depressed at the moment.

He came over and asked aloud.

"Are you preparing to go out to do errands?"

Li Ye glanced at the other party, then said with a smile.

"Nothing's wrong, I'm going out to buy a pack of cigarettes."

As soon as he heard Li Ye's words, the old man smiled and said.

"Hey, I thought we couldn't get out of the city today."

Then he turned around and pointed at a young man next to him.

"Leave it to him to buy cigarettes, and let's go play chess."

When Li Ye heard this, he glanced at the young man standing next to Lao Tian, ​​and he felt a little curious.

This young man looked young, and he didn't look like a bodyguard. Instead, he had a clarity that was both familiar and unfamiliar to Li Ye.

So Li Ye couldn't help but speak out.

"No, it's just a few steps away. I'll be right back."

After hearing this, Lao Tian waved his hand and said.

"It's okay, these are my students, they are all our own, so don't be polite."

When Li Ye heard this, he stopped saying anything, nodded and walked to his room facing Lao Tian.

Then Li Ye was stunned for a moment and said aloud.

"Look at my memory, I even forgot that I was in a guest house."

"Wait for me, I'll go outside to pick up a chessboard."

After hearing what Li Ye said, Lao Tian smiled and waved his hand. ,
"No, I'll bring it here."

As he spoke, he took out a dark chessboard from the bag he carried with him.

When Li Ye saw this, he felt that the material of this photographic device seemed a bit unusual, so he walked over curiously, picked up a cannon, and began to study it.

After getting it, Li Ye felt that this thing felt like jade but not jade, iron but not iron in his hand, and the texture was very comfortable.

Li Ye looked at it for a long time but couldn't see anything, and Lao Tian obviously didn't want to explain too much to Li Ye.

After arranging his arguments, he urged Li Ye.

"Young man, stop studying this, let's play chess first."

When Li Ye heard this, he immediately smiled and nodded. After placing the chess pieces, he stood up and poured a cup of tea for himself and the other party.

Then they started playing chess, during which the two of them didn't talk about anything else.

After Lao Tian's student came back from buying cigarettes, he sat aside and poured water and tea for the two of them.

The two of them played until about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Li Ye looked at the time and felt that it was time to go find Zhang Chaoyang, so after the game of chess was over.

He said pretending to rub his waist.

"Okay, that's it for today. I'll have to go do other things later."

After hearing Li Ye's words, Lao Tian felt a little disappointed at first, and then nodded with a dissatisfied expression.

He said aloud: "Okay, then let's go back to Sijiu City and contact him."

Hearing this, Li Ye couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then looked at Lao Tian and asked.

"Why do you have to go back to Sijiu City? I have to stay here for a few more days." Hearing this, Lao Tian said helplessly.

"You are still here, but I have to leave."

Then he said aloud while clearing the chessboard.

"Tickets for tomorrow morning."

"By the way, give me your address in Sijiu City. I'll find you when I have time."

After hearing what Lao Tian said, Li Ye couldn't help but feel a little doubt in his heart.

If he guessed correctly, the old man should have followed Director Tian to find the treasure map.

But what happened now, why did you leave suddenly?
Is it...

Is it already found?
Thinking of this, Li Ye felt helpless in his heart.

It's just that Li Ye couldn't ask the other party directly, so Li Ye rolled his eyes and asked.

"Oh, are you done with this group of things?"

Then he said to himself.

"You still have a day to see the end before you can go back. I don't know when I can go back."

After hearing Li Ye's words, Lao Tian didn't realize that Li Ye was in Tao Hai.

I saw Lao Tian saying in a somewhat unhappy mood.

"No, it can't be done this year. We'll have to wait until next spring."

As soon as Li Ye heard this, he immediately guessed that several people had canceled their plans because they were unable to go up the mountain in the winter.

As a result, Li Ye let out a long sigh of relief.

Just now I was worried that this was all my hard work in vain.

So Li Ye nodded and said.

"That's okay, after all, the grass is too green here in the winter."

"I can't handle a young man, let alone an old man your age."

Upon hearing Li Ye's words, God was a little reluctant immediately.

He said aloud while putting the chessboard back into his bag.

"Who are you looking down on? I was there back then..."

When he said this, Lao Tian felt that this was not something to brag about, so he waved his hand in a rather uninterested manner and stopped talking.

When Li Ye saw this, he stopped talking and spoke directly.

"Then if you have some free time, you can come to the Red Star Rolling Mill to find me, and we can continue playing chess."

After hearing this, Lao Tian nodded and left Li Ye.

After the other party left, Li Ye thought about it for a while, picked up his coat and followed him out the door.

Half an hour later, after watching Lao Tian walk into the guest house, Li Ye turned around and headed towards Zhang Xiangyang and the others.

As soon as they passed, Li Ye found that neither of them came back, so Li Ye waited patiently for about two hours.

He really couldn't wait for them to come back, so Li Ye didn't wait stupidly anymore.

Nothing happened when I went out, so I wandered around City A.

But after walking back and forth for less than half an hour, Li Ye regretted it.

This winter night in City A is really not something that ordinary people can resist.

So he randomly found a restaurant, Li Ye went in to eat something, packed some food, and then headed towards the guest house with a smile.

After returning home, our Section Chief Li locked the door, heated a large basin of hot water, and began to scrub himself while humming a song.

At first, Li Ye thought that the bathhouse here was open every day, but he didn't find out until he went there today.

On weekdays, it is only open on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.

No, I couldn't take a bath, so I had to clean myself up in the house. (End of chapter)
