Chapter 1222. Meet Uncle Master!
Chapter 1222. Meet Uncle Master!
The lights in the yard came on.
The door opened and someone came out.
The man stood at the gate of the yard and asked, "Who is it?"
Qiao Liancheng stood outside the yard and looked inside through the gap in the fence.
Seeing an old man, he shouted, "Hello, Master, I am Jia Haixia's son and Jiang Wan's husband."
"My name is Qiao Liancheng."
"I came to you on their behalf. I have their letters and keepsakes here!"
"Or I'll throw the stuff in, and you can check if it's real, and then open the door for me."
Upon hearing this, the master was silent.
Suddenly he asked, "Who is your father?"
Qiao Liancheng couldn't help but be stunned, pursed his lips and whispered: "My father is dead."
The uncle coughed softly and said, "Come in."
"The door opened as soon as I pushed it."
Qiao Liancheng was somewhat surprised: What does this mean? Is this a secret code for a meeting?
But the problem is that no one told him this.
What surprised Qiao Liancheng was that when his uncle told him to come in, the big yellow dog stopped barking when Qiao Liancheng pushed the door open.
It stood there quietly, staring at Qiao Liancheng with its yellow eyes. There was still a wary light in its eyes, but it did not bark again.
It's not like ordinary dogs that bark endlessly as if they are crazy.
Qiao Liancheng couldn't help but take another look at the yellow dog.
He had heard from Jiang Wan that this big yellow dog was very intelligent and knew a lot. Not only could it open a zipper, it could also help the master uncle take things out of the cabinet.
It is said that his IQ is about that of a four or five-year-old child, and he can even add and subtract single-digit numbers.
Such a smart dog, Qiao Liancheng couldn't help but steal it home to raise.
The master's voice came from the room: "Come in first."
"Don't worry about it, it won't bite you."
Qiao Liancheng agreed and walked into the house.
After entering the room, he sat on a chair, looked at his uncle and said, "This is a letter from Jia Haixia and Jiang Wan to you."
The uncle glanced at him, smiled and said, "I know you." Qiao Liancheng was very surprised.
The uncle said, "They showed me your photo the last time they came."
Qiao Liancheng scratched his head.
Jiang Wan didn’t say this, but this is better and saves trouble.
The master asked, "Jia Haixia is not in good health. It is definitely not possible for her to frequently cross mountains and ridges in a short period of time."
"I can understand why she didn't come, but what happened to Jiang Wan?"
"That girl looked physically fit. Why didn't she come this time?"
Qiao Liancheng smiled and said, "She is pregnant. It was just diagnosed."
"She hasn't been feeling well lately, probably because she was tired from climbing the mountain a few days ago."
"She felt a little dizzy these past two days and her face was very pale, so I didn't dare let her come again and asked her to stay at home to protect the fetus!"
"I just finished the work at hand, so I took on this task."
When he heard that Jiang Wan was pregnant, Master's eyes lit up.
With a smile, he asked, "Are you pregnant? How long have you been pregnant? Is it a boy or a girl?"
Qiao Liancheng's face darkened and he said depressedly: "Master, she has been pregnant for just over a month, and the fetus has not yet formed. How can we know whether it is a boy or a girl?"
The master uncle was a little depressed, and after a moment of silence, he said, "With my old bones, I don't know if I can live to see the birth of the child."
Qiao Liancheng was a little surprised and didn't understand why he said that out of the blue.
The uncle waved his hand, obviously not wanting to say more.
Then he opened the letter that Qiao Liancheng handed over and took a look.
After reading it, he said, "You are quite fast. You set out in the morning and arrive in the evening."
"You can rest here with me first."
"If you don't mind, you can sleep in the room with me. I'll ask Li Yousan to come over for you tomorrow morning."
Qiao Liancheng agreed.
The master asked, "Have you had dinner?"
Qiao Liancheng shook his head and replied, "I brought some dry food with me and ate it on the way."
"Uncle Master, you don't need to bother."
"Let's rest first and talk about it tomorrow morning."
The master nodded, turned off the light, and then they both got on the kang.
Qiao Liancheng was indeed tired. He didn't think much and fell asleep soon.
When the next morning dawned, there was no one in the house. Qiao Liancheng turned over and sat up.
I saw that my uncle-master was gone. I didn’t know whether he had gone out to exercise or what.
Qiao Liancheng got up, thought about it, and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
When the master's uncle came back from outside carrying the bamboo basket, Qiao Liancheng's breakfast was already ready.
The master uncle asked in surprise, "I didn't expect you could cook."
Qiao Liancheng grinned and said, "Most former soldiers know how to do this."
"Otherwise, if we go outside and no one cooks, we will starve to death."
The master nodded with satisfaction, then went to the kitchen to put down the basket.
Those were the mushrooms he picked in the mountains that morning.
Qiao Liancheng came over to take a look and suddenly said, "Uncle Master, why don't you come down the mountain with us?"
The master looked at him and shook his head and said, "I don't like the outside world. It's too chaotic. I'd rather live a simple life in the deep mountains and old forests."
"Besides, there aren't so many intrigues and people's minds are much simpler."
Qiao Liancheng asked again: "Is Li Yousan a simple person?"
The master looked at him doubtfully and said, "Didn't Jiang Wan tell you about him?"
"He probably doesn't know that his wife and that guy are just having a casual affair!"
Qiao Liancheng was silent for a moment and then whispered, "After listening to Jiang Wan's story, I had an idea in my mind."
"Since Li Yousan has such good hearing, how could he not know what happened in the village?"
"So I guess he might have done it on purpose." "Unfortunately, I don't have time to go to Dawang Village to learn more about the situation. Besides, this happened many years ago, and I don't know how much the villagers still remember."
"But my intuition tells me that Li Yousan is not a simple person. Maybe he did all this on purpose."
The uncle paused what he was doing, but didn't say much.
He took the mushrooms to the yard and spread them out to dry, picking out some dirt and grass inside and throwing them on the ground.
After a while, he whispered, "What you said is only one-sided. You can tell what kind of person he is after you meet him."
Qiao Liancheng was silent for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
Li Yousan came in the afternoon.
He is actually the person closest to his uncle.
When the master uncle came to find him before, it took him more than a day to come because he was collecting herbs in the mountains at that time. For those of them who live in the mountains, they say they are practicing in seclusion, but in fact they are living in seclusion.
They rely on the mountains for their food, clothing, housing, transportation, and even medicine when they are sick, so they go into the mountains to collect herbs when the weather is good.
This way you can use it directly when you need it.
Most of these people know some medical skills, and even those who don’t have learned a little.
Li Yousan was a little surprised when he saw Qiao Liancheng. He thought that the woman who came this time would be the same one from last time.
