Chapter 181

He suddenly became a little hesitant and stood at the door, considering whether to go in. The old lady had already taken two steps forward and, without noticing that he was following her, turned around and looked at him, twisting her head with a puzzled expression on her face, as if asking him, what's wrong with you.

The face was wrinkled and full of wrinkles, and the wrinkles were mixed with age spots. The age spots were like bugs stuck in the loose flesh. After death, the corpse was shrunken and could not be blown away by the wind.

Boss Liang thought, maybe it was just the smell of the old man. There are some graves nearby, and it is raining heavily now. It is not easy to find a place to rest. It is good that someone is willing to live here. At this time, what else is there to be picky about?

He stepped over the threshold, followed the old lady, and sat in the house.

The old lady gave him a bench and sat on it herself. She looked very stable, as if she had been sitting like this for many years and was used to it.

Boss Liang said thank you, but the old lady didn't look up, as if she didn't hear him. Maybe her hearing wasn't very good. However, most elderly people are hard of hearing, so this is nothing.

Boss Liang didn't care and said another sentence, this time louder than last time. The old lady seemed to have just heard it. She raised her head in a daze and saw someone opposite her. She was startled and remembered how she opened the door before. She nodded, as if responding to Boss Liang's words, but it didn't seem like she heard what Boss Liang said.

Boss Liang was a little sleepy and felt that there was no point in continuing talking. Who knew which words he could hear and which he could not?

He remained silent. The old lady yawned, got up, went into the house, opened the cupboard, took out a quilt, waved to him and asked him to go in. He went in and found a made bed. The old lady put the quilt on the bed and asked him to sleep there. Boss Liang nodded and expressed his gratitude. The old lady waved her hand, as if she didn't care.

She turned to leave, paused, and seemed to suddenly remember something. She turned back and gestured to Boss Liang.

Boss Liang looked confused: "What?"

The old lady paused, then danced even harder, opening her mouth and muttering. Her throat was not very good, and the words she spoke were in a very heavily accented dialect from somewhere unknown. Boss Liang could not understand her at all. He tried to get her to speak Mandarin, but found that she did not know how to speak Mandarin at all. The pronunciation of the words she spoke was not standard at all, and he still could not understand her.

The idea of ​​asking the old lady to change her language had to be abandoned.

Boss Liang listened to the dialect while watching the old lady gesture, not knowing what she meant.

He could only guess and ask: "You have a son? Do you need a glass of water?"

Seeing that she had nothing to say to him, the old lady shook her head and left.

Boss Liang was so sleepy that he yawned and didn't bother to ask any more questions. He just lay down on the bed, pulled the quilt over him and fell asleep.

After a while, he felt someone wake him up. He opened his eyes and found himself sleeping on the branch of a big tree. Turning around, he saw Leyuan and the car owner. They seemed to be looking for him in the mountains and found him here. It was not easy to move him in this position, so they could only wait for him to wake up first.

Boss Liang rubbed his eyes and murmured in surprise, "Was that just a dream? Whether it was the heavy rain and fog or the cabin and the old lady and what the old lady wanted to say to me? If it was a dream, there was no need for me to write it down. If not, I should think of a way to help solve the problem. Otherwise, it would be a waste for the old lady to take me into the house in the heavy rain."

The amusement park shouted, "Come down! How long are you going to stay there? Be careful not to fall down, or you will break your bones and we will have to carry you down again."

Boss Liang responded and climbed down from the tree. The tree was big, old, and hard, so it was easy to climb down. The branches were not particularly high. When he landed, Boss Liang breathed a sigh of relief, stepped on the ground twice, and smiled at Leyuan, "Thank you for waking me up. I remember that you two suddenly disappeared while we were walking on the road. Where did you go?"

Leyuan said, "We were following you all the time, but you suddenly disappeared, so we started looking for you and found you here. We didn't see anyone else."

Boss Liang asked: "Did you see the heavy rain and fog?"

Leyuan said, "We only saw strong winds, but there was some fog and some rain, but not too heavy. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to find you even if we were standing here, because when there's fog, visibility is very low, and when there's rain, it's even harder to find you with your eyes open."

Boss Liang nodded and said, "Indeed, after I go back, if the problem can be solved, I will give you a thank-you gift."

The car owner stood nearby and gave a mild smile.

Boss Liang asked, "What are you laughing at?"

The car owner said, "I just thought of a joke. Some people say that to express gratitude, they can pick up two stones from the roadside and send them to someone's bedside. Some people say that to express gratitude, they can give someone 110,000 or 1 million, but they still say it and don't give it. Some people can show off to others that they can give 100 million for something, but in reality, even if the problem is solved and the person is in front of them, they may not give it.

They might even fabricate a crime to implicate someone and put them in jail together. Then they can search their property and take away everything. In name, they can say that they are confiscating illegal gains. It is aboveboard and appropriate! Not only is it legal and compliant, it is also shameless. People have nowhere to vent their anger, nowhere to complain, nowhere to say anything! They can whitewash everything. Who wouldn't be able to do that?

By then, it is uncertain how long a person can live, so they just need to find a way to delay it until the person dies. This matter will be settled in a rounded way. Who will go to great lengths to seek justice for a dead person? Or for a person who died after having a bad reputation and being labeled a criminal by everyone? "

Boss Liang's eyelids twitched and he said, "I'm not the kind of person who says I won't pay you."

The car owner was a little angry and didn't want to pay attention to him. Their relationship was originally like that. Boss Liang didn't say anything else. Leyuan patted the car owner on the shoulder and told him to walk faster. When he got to the foot of the mountain, he could at least rest and didn't have to walk around here.

The car owner nodded, still a little angry, snorted, and walked to the front.

Boss Liang suddenly heard a burst of laughter coming from all around him. He felt goosebumps all over his body and felt a chill. He pulled Leyuan and asked, "Didn't you hear anything?"

Paradise said, “No.”

Boss Liang asked: "What do you think would happen if a person suddenly heard another person's laughter?"

Leyuan said: "If I am the person walking in front in anger, and I hear laughter coming from behind, I will just think that they are laughing at me. I will think that they are self-righteous and disgusting, and I hope the laughter will stop as soon as possible. The last time I encountered such a situation, it was two old people laughing at a child. I will assume that they were laughing because I am not them and I did not ask. I just felt disgusted.

I don’t know what they were thinking, I don’t know what they were going to say, but it didn’t look like a happy, lighthearted scene, and I walked away.”

Boss Liang nodded.

They went down the mountain and seemed to have nothing to do, so they all went to rest. Boss Liang sat up from the bed. He was about to go to sleep, but when he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly remembered that he should do something. He took out his cell phone and said to Leyuan, "I'm sorry to bother you. You can continue to sleep. I'll go out and make a phone call."

Leyuan asked, "What's the matter?"

Boss Liang said: "After I went up, I took a look at the tomb and I felt that it was necessary to repair it. However, I cannot handle this kind of thing by myself. This is not my ancestor, and I am not the only one who should pay for it. If we don't discuss it well, maybe the relatives will become enemies. It needs to be handled properly, and it is necessary to ask others in advance."

Rakuen nodded.

Boss Liang went out to the park to rest, but he heard dripping water in the house and couldn't fall asleep. He got up and checked everywhere, but didn't see any leaks. He sat on the edge of the bed wondering what the sound was. Boss Liang called back and was a little angry. It seemed that they had not reached an agreement.

Paradise asked: "Do you have children at home?"

Boss Liang squinted his eyes and looked a little puzzled: "Why are you asking this suddenly? Yes."

Leyuan said, "The grave needs repairing. It was raining when we went there, so the dripping sound might be the cause. But there is nothing wrong with the house. Could it be that your ancestors are reminding you to pay attention to the children?"

Boss Liang had already vaguely guessed what Le Yuan was going to say, and he became nervous. He held the phone and asked, "No way? What does this have to do with the child? My child doesn't know about this, and he's not buried in the ancestral tomb."

Leyuan said: "What if the ancestors knew ahead of time that your child was in danger and reminded you to be vigilant at every turn?"

Boss Liang asked without thinking: "What could possibly happen to my child?"

Leyuan said, "Maybe he accidentally fell into the water recently, or maybe he wanted to carry you on his back to go swimming outdoors after school, or maybe he accidentally knocked over the boiler after returning home and damaged the power strip, causing a leakage or something like that."

Boss Liang's heart tightened: "It doesn't sound safe."

Leyuan said, "If everything is fine, there is no need to remind you in advance. If nothing happens, that's the best. If something happens, knowing it will help you prevent it, right?"

Boss Liang frowned and said, "Let me ask you something."

Paradise nodded.

Boss Liang went out again with his phone in hand. Before leaving, he asked, "Why does the ancestral tomb have anything to do with the child? What do you think?"

Leyuan said: "Don't ancestors care about incense and offerings the most? Usually, if there is a problem with the ancestral tomb, it means that the descendants will have problems or accidents."
