Eternal Immortal Tomb

Chapter 41 Grandpa and Grandson

“Thank you.” The little boy hesitated for a moment, picked up the silver, and said: “Big Brother, return the braised pork.”

The little boy couldn’t hide the desire in his eyes, but he was resolute and passed the stewed pork wrapped in oil paper in his hand.

“No, you take it back together.” Lin Lu laughed.

“It won’t work, this meat must be returned to you.” The little boy said resolutely. But seeing Lin Lu’s unquestionable look, he hesitated for a long time, carefully picked up the meat, and said: “Is Big Brother alone?”

“Yes, walk alone.” Lin Lu Replied.

“Today, if you don’t hate it, Big Brother will go home with me and share the meat.” There was a glimmer in the little boy’s eyes, very sorry, and he took Lin Lu’s money and meat. .

I still ask for it myself.

“That’s also good.” Lin Lu said with a smile.

Speaking, he followed the little boy to the west of the town.

In the meantime, the little boy ran to the pharmacy and grabbed a few prescriptions.

It turned out that he exchanged meat for money with Lin Lu just to buy medicine.

Moreover, this medicine seems to be expensive, so I just smashed four or two of silver and spent all of it.

After walking for a long time, the number of houses on row upon row gradually decreased, and at the end, the lights turned to darkness.

This is already the outermost part of the town. The snow reflects the twilight, and it is barely possible to see the road ahead.

The little boy is familiar with the road, bare legs, and walks fast.

Lin Lu is at a moderate pace, following the little boy.

The thatched house in front is very simple, it seems that it hasn’t been repaired for a long time. The walls are everywhere, it can’t talk about sheltering the wind and rain. Rain and snow fall into it with the wind.

This thatched house didn’t even have a door. There was only a wooden board in front of it. The little boy held a wooden board much higher than his own with both hands and put it aside with difficulty.

“Big Brother, please come in.” The little boy greeted warmly.

Meeting Lin Lu was the happiest time he felt in so long.

In the eyes of Lin Lu, he can’t see the contempt and dislike of other residents in the town, nor is he condescending, but he truly regards him as a “person”.

“cough cough… Xiaoan is back?” An old and weak voice sounded.

“grandfather, see what I brought back!” The little boy lit the last remaining oil lamp.

Trotting to the bed, draped the old man’s clothes, and leaned to the wooden table.

The old man has sparse white hair and thin bones. A face full of vicissitudes of life, full of folds and cloudy eyes, seems to be half in the soil.

“This is the Big Brother I met in town. The braised pork and the money for the medicine are all given by Big Brother!” The little boy said with joy.

“Did you pull someone else and demand it forcibly!” The old man’s speech became sharp, and he couldn’t help coughing when he became emotional, “cough cough…cough… why are you so disobedient? !”

“I didn’t…” The little boy stood aside, his trouser legs folded with his hands, his eyes were a little red.

“Master, sit down quickly, nothing is, Xiao An is very obedient.” Lin Lu came over, helped the old man, and said.

The old man heard that the ups and downs of his chest eased slightly.

“This great kindness, let us young and old, how to feel it.” The old man said, getting up to salute Lin Lu.

Seeing this, Lin Lu hurriedly helped the old man and said: “What kind of kindness is it, I can’t be thankful for someone to accompany me on the festival.”

“This meat takes advantage of it. Eat it hot.” Lin Lu asked the little boy to open it.

The scent is overflowing, one old and one young, it hasn’t been tainted for a year. The long-lost scent is rare to permeate this broken hut.

While wiping tears, the little boy picked up a piece and fed it to the old man’s mouth.

“Xiao’an, you must know the etiquette and let the little brother eat first.” The old man taught.

“en.” The little boy nodded and said.

“It’s okay,” Lin Lu said.

The old man stroked the little boy’s head and said with a look of sorrow: “Grandfather is not scolding you, but hopes that when you are older, you can be diignified and be a person…cough cough…don’t let others , Look down on you…”

“Blame grandfather’s incompetence, make you so big, just begging along the street…”

Speaking, the old man blamed himself.

“I know, grandfather, it’s not your fault.” The little boy said with red eyes, sensible: “Today is the festival, we won’t talk about this, we will have to make Big Brother laugh later.”

“Good…cough cough…” The old man said with a smile.

Seeing this warm scene, Lin Lu smiled and watched.

Sometimes happiness is not about your cultivation base Heavenspan, nor is it a wealthy country. It is actually very simple. Family is on the side and a good meal is good.

“Big Brother, you eat too.” The little boy tore the meat into small pieces and handed it to the old man’s mouth.

Lin Lu nodded.

The little boy was afraid that Lin Lu would feel that he was scratching with his hands and it was a bit dirty, so he wiped oil on his clothes and took out three pairs of chopsticks.

Lin Lu seemed to see through what the little boy thought, said with a smile: “Meat, only tastes delicious with your hands.”

Speaking, he picked up a piece of meat at will , Threw it in his mouth.

“grandfather, take it first, and I will boil your medicine first.” The little boy said, skillfully lighting the fire, and took out the dusty medicine jar.

It seems that it has been a long time since the medicine has been used. The elderly have been out of medicine for a long time. The price of medicine is unbearable.

Seeing grandfather’s increasingly weak body, the little boy begged Lin Lu and exchanged meat for four or two pieces of silver.

Although this sounds ridiculous, the little boy hesitated for a long time with the meat given by others in exchange for other people’s money.

Innocence is hard to come by in a poor child. It can be seen that his dependent grandfather taught very well and went out to beg, which was really helpless.

From the conversation with the old man, I learned that the young boy’s name is Liu Pingan. It has been several years since his parents passed away, and the two have always depended on each other.

In the early years, the elderly could still buy brailles and calligraphy to offer words to wealthy families and earn some silver. As they got older, they fell seriously ill a year ago, and their savings at home have been spent.

His only wish before his death was to hope that Liu Pingan could read a book and enter Beijing to gain fame.

However, all this is no longer practical.

Speaking, the old man was already in tears, coughing and trembling.

Lin Lu feels pitiful. While Liu Ping’s guard is by the fire, he has not eaten the meat on the table so far, thinking that grandfather can eat more.

I took out the two or two from his arms, opened it carefully, held it in both hands, the size of an egg, and couldn’t bear to eat it all in one bite.

“Xiao’an, come and eat too.” Lin Lu saw Liu Pingan, said with a smile: “There is still a big bag!”

Speaking, Lin Lu Put the two kilograms previously cut on the table and opened them together.

“This little piece is delicious.” Liu Ping’an smiled and said with a smile: “I deliberately hid it, and I reserved it exclusively for myself.”

“This child.” The old man said with a smile gratified.

The thought of a child, an adult will know when you see it.

I finished the meat in one bite, chewed it carefully for a long time, and finally licked the oil from his mouth and smiled contentedly.

I was so sensible at a young age, but it seemed so pitiful.

“This is the best festival ever, and there is meat to eat.” Liu Pingan smiled, blowing the fire harder.

A pound of meat may be commonplace for ordinary people, but for both grandfather and grandson, it is an extravagant hope. If you buy a small piece, you have to ask for a few days.

Finally, under Lin Lu’s rigid tone, Liu Pingan came to the wooden table and grabbed the meat.

The evening passed, the lamp oil bottomed out, and the dim dim light made the whole room very dim.

“Big Brother, you must be literate.” After eating the meat, Liu Ping burped a full burp, a total of three catties of meat, Lin Lu and the old man did not move much.

Liu Pingan felt very satisfied for the first time, but he was very well-measured and left half a catty to eat later.

“Well, know some.” Lin Lu nodded and said.

He has been practicing with the Master since he was a child. You must know that his teacher is the Imperial Teacher of Chu State, who is naturally full of poetry and knowledge.

Lin Lu is not only talented, but he is comparable to Hanlin, Chu State is as good as he is.

“Great, can Big Brother teach me something?” Liu Pingan was overjoyed, jumping around. Only when he returned home, no one looked at him coldly, did he recover the child temperament.

Because of the old age, his eyes are half blind, and he can’t even see clearly, let alone teach Liu Pingan to read.

“Yes.” Lin Lu nodded with a smile.

Hearing Lin Lu’s promise, Liu Ping’an was very happy. He immediately turned over the boxes, took out a stack of yellowed books, muttered in his mouth, and said: “I’ve read this…here I will recite…this book ……”

After searching for a long time, Lin Lu was a little surprised. Liu Pingan was young and had already read so many books.

“By the way, this one!” Liu Pingan said.

Take the booklet to the fire and check it carefully.

Lin Lu took the yellowed booklet and realized that what the little boy had brought out was actually a copy of “South China Scripture”.
