An old man with white hair and crutches appeared in front of the crowd.
He was nearly 90 years old. Even though he was in good health, he was very old. He saw the people in front of him with a slight bent back, his face full of deep wrinkles, and his eyes were turbid and sharp. He looked up at them.
"What's the matter? What can I do for you? "
The local guide immediately explained, "master, these are noble people from the city. If you want to talk to them, I will go first."
With that, as if afraid of pestilence, he left immediately.
Qiu didn't care. He narrowed his old eyes and looked at them sharply.
"Who are you? What can I do for you? "
Lu Jingshen stepped forward and said in a warm voice, "master, I am Cen Xiufeng's grandson. She told you before that we will visit you today."
Mr. Qiu frowned.
After half a ring, he sneered, "I see. It's for that piece of stuff, isn't it! Yes, come in. "
Although he stepped back, let them in, but several people clearly feel that he is not very happy, the tone is not very good.
Several people looked at each other secretly and stepped into the room.
Jingning walked in the end, and closed the door, which followed Mr. Qiu into the living room.
"Your grandmother told me about you. I know you came for the jade, but I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. It's not jade at all. I'm very clear about the rumors outside that it has the effect of reviving the dead and immortality."
At this point, he snorted in derision.
"What is immortality? It's OK to cheat you inexperienced young children. At my age, you'll understand that it's all fake. What kind of rare treasures have I never seen in the world? I've seen the elixir more than ten times. Which one works? But it's just the imagination of ordinary people because of their greed for the prosperity of the world. "
Jingning quickly agreed.
"The old man thinks highly of you. Just from your words, you know that you are not worldly, and you are an extraordinary person."
Mr. Qiu looked at her and sneered again.
"Little girl, don't try to put a high hat on me. Do you think that if you say something nice, I will give it to you?"
Jingning's face was stiff.
Gu Siqian was calm and said in a positive manner: "since the old man knows the purpose of our coming, I will not beat around the bush with you. You may as well tell us how to give us things?"
Unexpectedly, Qiu just shook his head and waved his big hand.
"No
"What?"
Jingning's face changed, so did Qiao Qi.
All of them frowned at the same time.
Lu Jingshen explained: "Mr. Qiu, it's useless to put this thing in your hand, but to tell you the truth, we rely on this thing to save our lives. Please give it a high hand in the face of grandma."
Qiu sat down on an old wooden chair and looked at him with a bad smile.
"What's a high hand? I know your old lady, but it's also a young thing. We haven't seen her for many years. She is now the mother of the Lu family. She's noble. I'm a bad old man. I don't have anything. How dare I go up to her.
As for you, what does it have to do with me? Why should I save you? There are so many people dying every day in the world. If I had to rely on me to save my life, wouldn't I be so busy and tired to death? "
He spoke in a tone of schadenfreude.
It seems that because this thing is related to Qiao Qi's life, it makes him excited.
Gu Si Qian's eyebrows and eyes sank.
If it wasn't for Qiaoqi to pull him around, he would lift the table and grab things immediately.
After a deep breath and a half sound, he lowered the fire pressure in his heart and said in a deep voice: "the old man doesn't need to talk about these sarcastic words. If you have any requirements, you may as well ask them directly. If you can meet them, Gu will never refuse."
Lu Jingshen also said: "I am willing to agree to a condition of Mr. Qiu, but I will not refuse if I can."
Mr. Qiu squinted at them, then looked at Jingning and Qiaoqi.
"And you?"
Jingning was stunned.
Qiaoqi was stunned for a moment, and several looked at each other. Jingning said with a smile: "of course, everything comes first. If you have any orders, just say that we will do it."
Qiu touched the beard on his chin and seemed to be satisfied with her attitude.
He thought about it for a while. "Well, I still have a lot of clothes left behind. I think you two girls look like quick people. Why don't you go and wash those clothes for me first?"
They were all in a daze, and they didn't expect him to ask for it.
Lu Jingshen and Gu Siqian don't look very good-looking. They are their daughter-in-law. They usually don't want to let them wash their own clothes. Now they have to help others do the laundry?However, the two people did not have time to object, was Jingning and Qiaoqi unified interrupted.
"OK, no problem. We'll go right now."
With that, he went to the backyard hand in hand under the leadership of Qiu.
Jingning thought that he was an old man's clothes. Besides, it was not difficult to wash clothes. If you stir them in the washing machine and dry them again, they will be finished?
Because of Qiao Qi's illness, this is nothing at all.
However, when I got to the backyard, I found that there were not many clothes?
Clearly, there are many!
There were dozens of Jin clothes piled up on the open space in the backyard. Those clothes were dirty as if they had been wearing them for months. From afar, they smelled a sour smell coming out from above.
Several people can not help frowning, the old man pointed to the pile of clothes, said: "those, here, before the sun sets today, wash them."
Lu Jingshen and Gu Siqian's faces became more and more ugly. Jingning said quickly, "no problem. Where is the washing machine?"
Mr. Qiu seemed to hear a joke, his eyes widened, and suddenly he laughed sarcastically.
"Washing machine? Girl, you are joking with me. We are in the countryside. Where can we have that stuff? Besides, my clothes made of the most precious cloth are damaged by the washing machine. Can you afford to pay for it? "
Jingning's face changed.
"By hand, you mean?"
"Of course, you don't have to wash by hand. Do you wash with your feet?"
Lu Jingshen couldn't help speaking, but was pulled by Jingning.
She took a deep breath, with a stiff smile. "No problem. You can rest assured that we will finish washing it before sunset this afternoon."
Seeing that she had a good attitude, Mr. Qiu nodded with satisfaction and looked at Gu Siqian and Lu Jingshen.
