Old Madam Su hung up the phone. The old housekeeper, Zhu Xianshu, walked over from afar and helped Old Madam Su to the living room.
Old Madam Su rarely called, and Zhu Xianshu would always stand far away even though she had followed Old Madam Su for more than 50 years and was deeply trusted.
The relationship between master and servant, who had been together for almost a lifetime, was extraordinary. Because of this, Zhu Xianshu was even more careful.
"Boss is still waiting outside." Zhu Xianshu whispered. "Why don't you call him after you've slept?"
Old Madam Su closed her eyes as if she had fallen asleep. After a while, she said, "I'm in good spirits today. Let him in."
Zhu Xianshu responded. Someone outside naturally understood her meaning and went to call Zhu Zhangzhe in.
"Grandma, Zhangzhe is here to greet you." Zhu Zhangzhe walked in with a face full of smiles. "You look really good today. Zhangzhe found a precious Korean ginseng for you."
Old Madam Su didn't say anything. Her eyes were still closed.
Zhu Xianshu waved her hand. The chauffeur, who was standing outside with the gift, went to the storeroom.
"Grandma, there seems to be an important guest today." Zhu Zhangzhe felt like he had a trip to the gates of hell today. How could he not be concerned about this? At first, he regretted that he only brought his chauffeur with him when he went out. If he brought more people, he definitely wouldn't have encountered this. Later on, he realized that it didn't matter how many people there were.
Old Madam Su opened her eyes and put on her presbyopic glasses. She stared coldly at Zhu Zhangzhe.
Zhu Zhangzhe hurriedly took two steps back. His heart skipped a beat. It turned out that this gag order wasn't just for the subordinates. No one in the family could mention it.
"Zhangzhe, go back first." Zhu Xianshu gave him a look.
"Grandma, have a good rest. Miss me when you're free. Zhangzhe will come to see you right away." Zhu Zhangzhe respectfully left.
Zhu Xianshu walked Zhu Zhangzhe out.
"I'll find a chance to find out about your matter. It's still early, don't be anxious." Zhu Xianshu patted Zhu Zhangzhe's shoulder.
"Okay, Aunt Shu." Zhu Zhangzhe lightly held Zhu Xianshu's hand.
Zhu Xianshu smiled warmly and pulled out her hand. "Aunt Shu watched you grow up. I won't ignore you.
Only then did Zhu Zhangzhe leave with peace of mind. Zhu Xianshu returned to the room and stood beside Old Madam Su.
"The young man who came today is the descendant of an old friend of mine. He's here to see me."
"He seems like a very sensible young man." Hearing that Old Madam Su also wanted to chat with her, Zhu Xianshu replied. From afar, she also saw the young man supporting Old Madam Su as they walked. In the beginning, he even held Old Madam Su's hand and kissed her forehead. In the Zhu family, only Zhu Juntang had the opportunity to do such an intimate action.
She had grown up in the Zhu family and had followed Old Mistress for fifty years. This was the first time Zhu Xian Shu had heard that Old Mistress had such an old descendant.
"My little fairy went to Jun Sha, right?"
"Yes."
"Third Young Lady also went to Jun Sha?"
"I just went there today."
"Little Zhongqing is also in Junsha?"
"Yes."
"Although little Zhongqing is not your biological granddaughter, Third Miss dotes on her very much. You should teach her more."
"I know. You should go and rest."
Old Madam Su got up and went back to her room, hoping that the lovers would get married.
…
…
Liu Changan left Su Xiaocui's house and ran all the way. There were still a lot of surveillance cameras in the central area of Tai City. Liu Changan's speed was much faster than ordinary people, but it was not too shocking. After passing through a few areas, he shuttled through old buildings a few times and circled around to the high-speed rail station. Then he took a bus back to Hsinzhu.
After leaving the Hsinchu subway station, Liu Changan ran to the seaside. He found a new place to take off his clothes and put on the wet clothes he had worn yesterday. He adjusted his facial muscles and facial features before jumping into the sea again.
There were waves on the sea that day, so Liu Changan spent most of his time underwater. He encountered shoals of fish several times and saw many sunken ships. Perhaps there were many unyielding souls in these ships … Between 1949 and 1954, 228 ships from dozens of countries, including the mainland, were crazily looted and bombarded by the Taiwan authorities.
Perhaps the people living along the coast of Mount Min were more aware of the significance of the flattop boats circling around Taiwan. The Taiwan authorities who raided the straits used to scare children. In other places, they used demons and ghosts. Only the people living along the coast of Mount Min would say that they would be captured by the Taiwan people.
Liu Changan passed through the shoals of fish. The sea was calm, and the fish surfaced from time to time. Crossing the sea during the day could only rely on the direction of the ocean current and some clues on the bottom of the sea to determine the direction. It took Liu Changan a little more time to reach Antan. Then he ran to the train station. By the time he returned home, it was already the next morning.
As soon as he got home, the person who delivered the little hen came. Liu Changan took it in his hand and did not even throw it into the carriage. He sat on the recliner in front of his house, motionless.
He was a little tired.
He saw the people he knew in the past, and as always, he saw the face of a young girl with white hair. This scene repeated endlessly, and it seemed to become a scene that would never change.
It confirmed the news he had received years ago, that Su Mei had become a pile of bones. Su Xiaocui felt that there were still some secrets that she did not want to reveal. However, there was no doubt that Old Madam Su was Su Xiaocui. Although he had mistaken her at first, he could accurately tell that she was not Su Mei later on.
Liu Changan was not very interested in exploring the secrets hidden in the hearts of others. For thousands of years, secrets, big and small, had long been accumulated like the sand at the bottom of a river. The truth that was too far away to be revealed to the world was often just a topic that had nothing to do with the future generations. So what if they knew? Some people, in the end, could not be seen … Even if they met, so what?
However, he still felt waves of sleepiness. Liu Changan looked at the time. Should he skip class today?
Thinking about An Nuan, it was better to forget it. With her character, if he did not give a clear reason for taking a day off, and he did not go to school today, she would definitely come over in the name of the class monitor to observe the situation and torment Liu Changan who had nothing to do at home.
Actually, he wanted to play cards.
He wanted to read a poetry book under the parasol tree.
He wanted to go to the mahjong house to spend the day.
The person who delivered the little hen came. He said that someone else had helped to hold the hen from yesterday. Liu Changan took the little hen from today and threw it into the carriage.
Just as he was about to close the door, Liu Changan felt that there was a thirst for blood in the carriage today. It was probably because he was hungry yesterday. However, this was not the reason that attracted Liu Changan to turn his head. He noticed that there was an extremely fine red dot on the seam of the coffin seal. It was the size of a needle.
Scarlet red.
It was like an ordinary person's finger was pricked by a needle. After a drop of blood came out and was wiped clean, the bloody needle hole could be seen.
Liu Changan had observed this coffin. With his observation and memory, he judged that the little red dot did not exist at the beginning.
"What the hell are you?" Liu Changan knocked on the coffin.
Of course, there was no response. Liu Changan closed the door of the carriage.
Zhou Dongdong dragged a net bag and ran down. Her hands swayed left and right as usual like she was doing a square dance. She swayed to the door of Liu Changan's house and handed the soy milk to Liu Changan. She told Liu Changan loudly, "Yesterday you were not at home. I drank all the soy milk I gave you. Then I had diarrhea. Then I went downstairs very unhappy. Then someone gave me the little hen. Then I returned the little hen to you today, and then … and then …"
Zhou Dongdong took a breath. After her breath calmed down, she forgot what happened.
"Was my little hen like this yesterday?" Liu Changan pointed at the half-dead and motionless little hen in the net. He did not ask Zhou Dongdong the truth about the little hen. How could an adult casually entrust something that was meant for someone else to a child who looked very stupid at first glance?
"You eat it today, and it will be all right!"
"That's true." Liu Changan agreed with this statement.
"Then can you give me a little when you are done?"
"You can only eat the chicken butt." “
"My mother said that the chicken butt is poisonous." Zhou Dongdong stared with her eyes wide. "You want to poison me again …"
"Aren't you not dead? Maybe you won't die. "
"No! No way! No! " Zhou Dongdong was very self-aware and said, "Last time my mother detoxified me. She gave me a red bean like antidote, so I didn't die."
Zhou Shuling knew how to deal with Zhou Dongdong. Zhou Dongdong was a child with a brain. If she reasoned with her and said that the centipede meat was not poisonous and would not kill her, she probably would not listen and would make a fuss.
Liu Changan drank the soybean milk. Under some suggestions and guidance from Zhou Dongdong, he killed the little hen. Anyway, this was an extra one. If he did not eat it quickly, he estimated that he would not live to go home at night.
Liu Changan directly cut the chicken into pieces and roasted it. The chicken butt was actually very delicious. There was a glandular cavity hidden in the protrusion above. It was also called the bursa on the cavity. He just needed to dig out the ball.
Zhou Dongdong ate the roasted chicken leg while looking at Liu Changan eating the chicken butt worriedly. Her mother went out. If Changan brother was poisoned, what would he do without the antidote? She did not know if she spit on him could detoxify him?
