According to the timeline, it will be a few years later.
But after she came back, everything changed, and there was no guarantee that this matter would not happen earlier.
Her breathing became tight, and she asked anxiously, "How is Grandpa now?"
"Prepare to send him to the hospital. Your second uncle said that he had broken bones. He's still awake, but your grandfather is going to be in big trouble this time."
Xu Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the person was still awake. It was different from his previous life.
She originally thought that if something really happened, she would just go back through the talisman path and not care about anything else.
But in the current situation, if she rashly went back from Fudao, she would have to waste time explaining.
Although she knew that Grandpa was fine for the time being, she was still worried and said, "I'll be back soon."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Qingzhi told Huo Fengyan about the situation.
"Feng Yan, I want to go back."
Even though the speaker on the phone was not turned on, Huo Fengyan had excellent hearing and could hear everything clearly.
"Well, I'll take you there."
Xu Qingzhi originally wanted to book a plane ticket, but due to heavy fog, the nearest few flights were canceled at the last minute, so he could only take the high-speed rail.
She didn't want to eat dinner. There were a lot of food in the spiritual space anyway. Besides, she wouldn't feel too hungry even if she didn't eat.
Since I was leaving in a hurry, I prepared a black backpack to carry my belongings.
After getting on the high-speed train, she still sent a message on WeChat to ask about her mother's situation.
Qingzhi: "Grandpa, how are you now?"
"I just arrived at the hospital. The doctor said he wanted to take an X-ray. I'm waiting for the results."
Attached is a photo of Grandpa.
Xu Qingzhi looked at the photo. The skinny old man looked helpless, with blood on the left side of his face. His black cotton jacket was unzipped, revealing a red woolen vest and a gray old man's shirt. There were some dried bloodstains on the shirt.
Just by looking at the photos, you can tell how hard this fall was.
Xu Qingzhi felt her heart tighten for no reason, and she just told her mother, "Grandpa needs to put on his clothes. It's cold now, don't catch a cold."
Hospitals are not very warm places.
"The doctor just opened it while he was doing an examination, and now he has closed it again."
Qingzhi: "I'm back, on the high-speed train."
"Don't come back this late at night."
Xu Qingzhi was already on the high-speed train, but chatting with her parents was like this sometimes, they liked to talk one thing after another. It seemed that she could still get off the high-speed train if she said "don't come back".
"Come back later."
After sending the message, Xu Qingzhi put his phone in his pocket, frowned, closed his eyes and rested.
After sleeping for an hour, she woke up belatedly and felt her mouth a little itchy.
Using the black schoolbag as a cover, he took out an apple from the spiritual space and started to eat it.
She planted a lot of fruit trees in the spiritual space, and most of them grew naturally. For the few that she was greedy for, she would use a high-spiritual energy formation to catalyze one or two fruit trees, so she could take out any fruit she wanted to eat from the spiritual space.
She was sitting in seat A, row 6. There was no one in the adjacent seats B and C before. An old man and a little girl came in at some point.
The little girl tied two whips with colorful rubber bands, the kind that were in pieces.
He shouted in Mandarin: "Grandpa, I'm hungry."
Meal news is being broadcast on the high-speed train.
The staff handed over a box of food: "60."
Xu Qingzhi glanced at it out of the corner of his eye. The dish was average and he smacked his lips slightly. It was not cheap.
The old man took out a crumpled plastic bag from his inside pocket. There was a rustling sound when he unfolded the bag. He took out a neatly stacked stack of money from it, took out a fifty-dollar bill and a ten-dollar bill and handed them over.
Then he opened the lunch box, broke open the disposable chopsticks and handed them to the little girl.
Touched her head.
"Eat, Niuniu."
I only bought a box lunch for 60 yuan.
Xu Qingzhi's gaze fell upon the old man, and he was slightly stunned, unable to move his gaze away for a long time.
The surrounding scenes seemed to have all faded away, and the weathered outline suddenly turned into grandpa's face.
The memories buried in the past suddenly came back to my mind.
"Grandpa, I want to eat candied haws! I want to eat candied haws!"
Grandpa's back was still very straight at that time. Xiao Qingzhi's little hands were not used to pulling Grandpa's hands, because raising hands was too tiring. She preferred to pull Grandpa's navy blue pants.
The old man asked: "Where is the candied haws seller?"
Xiao Qingzhi pointed at the man selling candied haws excitedly, "Grandpa, over there, I can see him even though I'm so short."
The old man smiled, touched her head, took her over and asked, "How much is this candied haws?"
"One yuan a string." The vendor held a bamboo pole full of candied haws in one hand and made a "1" with his index finger of the other hand.
The old man folded his belt and took out a plastic bag from the money bag sewn into his waistband. He took out the money and said, "It was only 50 cents in the first half of the year, how come it has become one dollar now?"
Merchant: "Well, the prices of everything are rising now, and they are rising very fast."
A dollar was handed over, and a string of crystal red candied haws fell into Xiao Qingzhi's hands.
She took a bite and only remembered that the sugar on the outside was a little hard, but she could bite it with a little force. The hawthorn inside was very soft, a little sour, but very delicious.
Next to the vendor was a row of vegetable vendors. At that time, a bunch of green onions tied tightly with straw only sold for 20 cents.
"Little girl, why are you so confused?"
As the memories faded away, Xu Qingzhi looked at the old grandfather who was being stared at by her with a puzzled expression, and was looking at her strangely.
Xu Qingzhi explained frankly: "You looked familiar to me, and I thought you were acquainted with me, so I looked at you a few more times. Sorry."
The old man thought he had run into a fellow villager, so he introduced himself: "I'm from Jiangbei. This time I took my granddaughter to Kyoto to celebrate the New Year with my children. Now that school is about to start, I'm taking the children back to my hometown. Where are you from?"
Xu Qingzhi: "I am from Meicheng."
"That's still a bit far away. Speaking of Meicheng, I heard there's a famous farm there that sells vegetables online for 200 yuan a pound. They say the vegetables are good and good for your health and can lower the three highs."
Due to environmental reasons, young people are always taught not to respond to strangers when they go out, so they naturally have barriers against strangers.
But the old man doesn't seem to be like that. He is talkative and outgoing, and can chat with anyone he meets.
Xu Qingzhi said calmly: "Well, there is such a farm."
Grandpa: "I don't know if it's really that magical, what do you think?"
Xu Qingzhi: "Maybe."
Grandpa: "This pound of vegetables is 200 yuan, 10 pounds is 2,000, 100 pounds is 20,000, and 1,000 pounds is 200,000! This farm owner makes a lot of money just by growing vegetables. Tsk, tsk, I can't make so much money even if I grow rice for several years. I heard that the owner also raises chickens and ducks. Each one costs 1,000 yuan, which is not cheap, but I heard they are delicious, better than the native chickens in the countryside. He also sells fish. Oh, by the way, little girl, what do you do?"
Xu Qingzhi: "I grow vegetables, raise chickens and ducks, and sell fish in my hometown."
