Text Chapter 159 Kind-hearted
So Li Tian said decisively: "I won't leave! I want to be with you."
"You're not leaving?" Qiu Si turned around and looked at Li Tian in surprise.
Li Tian smiled slightly: "Of course I won't leave."
"Why should I leave if I'm not a coward? Besides, aren't we still related?" Li Tian said with a smile.
Qiu Si was slightly startled when he heard Li Tian mention "relatives", and then he laughed loudly when he remembered that this kid just said that Bing'er was his future wife.
"Okay, if you insist on staying here, then stay."
After finishing speaking, Qiu Si strode towards the door. ,
With a creaking sound, Qiu Si opened the door in front of him, and a sliver of sunlight poured into the hall in front of him. The hall that was a little dark just now became extremely bright in an instant.
Li Tian walked out of the hall and stood at the door, suddenly realizing that the place he was staying was Qiu Si's old mansion, the courtyard.
There are also several pots of crabapple flowers planted in the courtyard, which look beautiful and refined, exuding a faint fragrance.
After walking out of the courtyard outside, we came to the place outside the door.
Outside the door, I saw the stooped deaf-mute old man still sweeping the floor.
After taking a look at this strange rickety old man, Li Tian didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he stood outside and silently thought about his thoughts.
In his mind, he inadvertently listened to the sound of the rickety old man holding a broom and sweeping the floor with a broom, which made Li Tian curious.
Turning my eyes, I found that the rickety old man was indeed very strange. He was sweeping with a broom alone.
The fallen leaves on the ground had already been swept away, but the old man was still waving the broom in his hand and sweeping slowly, not knowing what he was sweeping.
Looking at this mentally ill and rickety old man who seemed to be somewhat "demented", Li Tian couldn't help but feel strange and blinked at him.
Just when Li Tian was looking at the rickety old man carefully, the old man who was slowly sweeping the floor with his back to Li Tian suddenly turned his face full of wrinkles and vicissitudes, and suddenly stared at Li Tian without blinking. .
This surprised Li Tian.
It was as if the rickety old man in front of me had eyes behind him.
The moment he stared at Li Tian suddenly, the corner of his mouth suddenly smiled strangely.
The smile in Li Tian's eyes made him feel cold and he couldn't help but take a step back.
When he was surprised, a burly figure came out of the door.
"Uncle Mute! It's time to cook."
As the loud voice sounded, Qiu Si was seen walking towards the rickety old man called Mute Uncle, and patted him gently on the shoulder.
The rickety old man nodded knowingly and walked into the courtyard step by step.
Li Tian's eyes never left the back of the rickety old man from beginning to end. It wasn't until his complete figure disappeared at the door that Li Tian turned around.
"What's wrong? Do you think the mute is weird?" Qiu Si in front of him suddenly looked at Li Tianwen and asked with a smile.
Li Tian couldn't help but nodded.
"I don't understand why he is always sweeping the floor here? There are obviously no fallen leaves here and it is clean. Why is the old man still here sweeping the floor?" Li Tiandao asked.
Qiu Si smiled and said, "It's not surprising!"
"Uncle Mute has been following me for so many years. The only thing he does every day is sweep the floor at the door over and over again..."
"Oh, that's it." I originally thought that there was something strange about that rickety old man to do this? But after hearing what Qiu Si said, I suddenly realized that the old man had been sweeping there for so many years.
"Uncle Mute has been with me for almost 10 years. When I rescued him in Kyoto City, his voice and ears were completely deaf and mute. It seemed that someone had deliberately destroyed him. I think He pitifully kept me by my side ever since. For so many years, Uncle Mute has been following me loyally. To put it bluntly, he can be regarded as half of my relatives."
"But whenever I asked about this mute uncle's past, he refused to tell me, and seemed unwilling to mention the past..." Qiu Si sighed.
Hearing what Qiu Si said, Li Tian couldn't help being shocked.
It turns out that the mute uncle was harmed like that? Was his throat and ears damaged?
Li Tian, who couldn't help but lament the old man's tragic fate, couldn't help but sigh.
It seems that there are indeed many unsatisfactory things in this world, and there are also many sad things.
After the dumb uncle cooked, Li Tian and Qiu Si ate in the hall.
And what about the rickety deaf-mute old man? He was holding a bowl of white rice and squatting alone in the corner of the courtyard to eat, looking pitiful.
When Li Tiandang saw this scene, a very sad and desolate feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
At this time, I couldn't help but pick up the pork dishes on the table and walked step by step towards the rickety old man squatting in the corner.
"Old man, let's have some food."
Li Tian smiled and slowly squatted on the ground like the rickety old man and handed the meat plate in his hand to the rickety old man.
The rickety old man's body shook slightly, and his old eyes slowly raised, blinking at Li Tian, with an indescribable gratitude in his eyes.
He screamed a few times in his mouth, as if to express his gratitude.
Li Tian smiled slightly and did not mind the dirt on the ground. He sat next to the rickety old man and sat side by side with him like a relative.
"Old man, although I don't know what kind of sad past you have, I feel that a person always has a purpose for living, don't you think so?"
"Just like me, I grew up without a father or a mother, and lived alone in an orphanage. When I was a child, I often couldn't get food in the orphanage because I was small, so I starved alone. But to be honest, I didn't complain. I think there is no fairness or unfairness in this world, it just depends on how you treat it..."
Li Tian just talked about his past to a rickety and dirty old man who couldn't hear his voice at all, accompanying him while talking about his past.
Li Tian has never talked about these past events. Now he is talking to this rickety old man here just to stop making the old man so sad and lonely. He knows that the old man cannot hear his words, but he still talks over and over again, as if two people are talking. It was like a close family member was chatting about the past.
Qiu Si, who had been looking at Li Tian in the hall, couldn't help but light up with joy in his eyes, and couldn't help but secretly wonder in his heart: How could a young man have a heart-to-heart talk with an old man like Mute, who is old, dirty and can't hear anything? This guy has a pretty good heart.
