Strange talk live room

"Baby, are you not hungry these days when I'm away?"

Old man Liu looked at the country boy with distress. He held his face with his rough old hands and looked at him carefully.

"Master, when I grow up, I can take care of myself. Besides, there is also Grandpa Gu!" The young man smiled brightly, showing his white teeth.

Not far behind him, under the shade of a tree, stood an equally skinny old man, wearing an old and gray Tang suit.

He was clasping his hands behind his back and looking at Dabiao and me with squinted eyes.

"Master, who are these two?" The young man also spotted us and asked curiously.

"He's a boss in the city, please ask him how he is." Old Man Liu took his grandson's hand and introduced, "Boss Xiao Li, this is my grandson Bai Zining."

"Hello, Boss Li, hello, big brother!" the young man said politely.

"Hello." I stretched out my hand and shook the boy's hand.

His name is quite elegant, but why is his surname not Liu but Bai?

"Come on, baby, let's go home first. After such a long journey, the two bosses didn't even get to eat."

"Master, I have already prepared the meal and am waiting for you to come back. However, I don't know if there are two more people, it may not be enough."

The young man smiled sheepishly at us.

Although he grew up in the countryside, he has bright eyes and is not timid. He seems to be a cheerful and optimistic child.

"It doesn't matter. If we don't have enough food, you can just order some noodles for us."

Of course Dabiao and I didn't mind and followed their grandfather and grandson towards the village.

"Grandpa Gu, your calculation is really accurate. Grandpa will really come back at this time!" Bai Zining jumped up and ran ahead.

The old man named Gu narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"Old Bones, thank you for watching over the doll these days when I'm not here. Let's eat together!"

"You have a guest, so I won't bother you. I found some herbs to cure your old problem. If you want to be okay after eating, come to my place to get it." Gutou looked at Old Man Liu.

Old Man Liu was stunned for a moment, a trace of sadness flashed in his old eyes, and he nodded: "Oh, I understand."

"Grandpa Gu, I made your share, let's eat together." Bai Zining held Gutou's arm.

Gutou shook his head, declined the invitation from their grandfather and grandson, and walked in the opposite direction with his hands behind his back.

I'm very interested in this Mr. Country Yin Yang, but for now, I'd better fill my stomach first.

I only ate two steamed buns in the morning and didn't eat anything at noon. I was very hungry on the way.

Dabiao and I followed Old Han Liu and his grandson to their home. We met some villagers on the way and greeted them. They were all about the same age as Old Han Liu.

There are very few people in this village. It is estimated that all those who can go out have gone out. The only ones left are these old, weak, women and children, who are very depressed.

I only see a teenage boy like Bai Zining.

The village is not big, and we soon arrived at their home.

Although I was mentally prepared and knew that their house was in poor condition, I was still shocked by the dilapidated house in front of me.

In this day and age, I thought that even a two-story house that couldn't be repaired would at least be a brick house, but I didn't expect that the house they lived in was still a mud house.

The wall is made of rammed earth. After decades of wind and rain, there are many cracks of various sizes on the surface, and a lot of soil in the corners of the wall has also scattered.

Two narrow windows are embedded in it, like old eyes on a sallow face, opening weakly.

It can be said to be the most dilapidated house in the village.

The only appliance in the house is a light bulb, if that counts.

There is no TV, no washing machine, it can't be more simple.

Standing inside is like going back decades ago.

"Two bosses, our family is indeed poor, you are laughing at us."

The light bulb switch was a hand-operated cord. Old Man Liu turned on the light, and embarrassedly wiped the stool with his sleeve and asked us to sit down.

In fact, the stool is very clean, and the house is shabby and shabby, so it is tidy.

"What's the point? Uncle Liu, you are too foreign. Our old house is even worse than yours." Da Biao sat down carelessly.

"Baby, hurry up and serve the food."

Old man Liu wiped the table again and went to the kitchen with Bai Zining.

Soon, they came back with white rice, some boiled corn and sweet potatoes, and a bowl of egg drop soup.

"Can the two bosses get used to the simple meal?" Bai Zining asked.

"Why are you not used to it? If you put this in the city, it would be purely natural and pollution-free green food. You can't eat it if you want."

Dabiao and I were not polite and started eating directly.

At this time, the more polite you are, the more disgusted you will appear.

Bai Zining was very happy.

Old Man Liu's smile became much more comfortable.

"If you think it's not enough, I'll cook you some more corn and sweet potatoes right away. Not to mention anything else, these are the only things in the country."

"That's best, thank you, little brother!" Da Biao said.

Old man Liu accompanied us to dinner, and Bai Zining went to work in the kitchen again, his hands and feet were quite agile.

Soon, curls of smoke rose.

"It's rare to see sensible children like Xiaobai." I said.

Old man Liu looked at the kitchen, with a proud and distressed expression on his face: "It's all my old man's fault. He was born into a poor family like ours. It's really wronging him."

"You have no choice in birth, but you can in the future. With such a good grandpa like you, this child will definitely have a bright future."

"Thank you very much, Boss Li, for your kind words." Old man Liu was happy when he heard this, and his face was full of wrinkles and a smile spread across his face.

"Uncle, I have a question I don't know whether I should ask. Why doesn't Xiaobai have your last name?"

"Oh, his mother's surname is Bai."

"I see, Bai Zining is a good name. Was it his mother who gave it to him?"

"No, his mother is crazy and not mute. She almost strangled him to death when he was born, and how could she give him a name?"

Probably realizing that what he said was not good, he quickly added: "Old Bones took it from me."

"His mother is no longer alive, either?"

"Yeah." Old Man Liu nodded vaguely.

"He is a poor child." I sympathized. "That old gentleman named Gu is quite extraordinary. He can actually tell when you will come home. Is he some kind of expert from this world?"

"What kind of expert is he?" Old Man Liu waved his hand, "He is just a Mr. Yin and Yang from the countryside. He knows a little bit about this kind of thing."

"He can tell the authenticity of ancient tomb maps. Even if he is not an expert, he still has real skills. Uncle Liu, can I visit him?"

"I still have a lot to ask about the map."

"This" Old Man Liu hesitated for a moment, "This old man has a weird temper and is not very willing to meet outsiders. After dinner, when I go to get the medicine, can I ask for you?"

"Thank you very much."

While talking, Bai Zining came over with freshly cooked corn and sweet potatoes, and also fried a plate of fragrant wild vegetables.

After dinner, he cleared the table and dishes very diligently.

Old man Liu explained and went to Gutou's home first.

After Bai Zining cleaned up, he poured tea for us, then held a book and sat under the eaves outside, reading quietly.

"Brother, I think these grandfather and grandson are quite reliable. The map I sold you must not be fake." Da Biao whispered.

"I have my plans. Don't ask too much and tell me more. I won't treat this family badly." I said calmly.

Not long after, Old Man Liu came back.

"Baby, your Aunt Cuihua's cell phone is broken. Go over and have a look."

He coughed lightly and sent Bai Zining away. When he walked into the house and faced us, he looked a little embarrassed.

"Boss Xiao Li, Old Bones said he is willing to tell you about the map, but there is a condition."
