After listening to Xiao Doudou's words, the old patriarch took his grandson Xiao Doudou's hand and came to Zhao Xu and others.

He saluted Zhao Xu and others, and Zhao Xu returned the salute imitating the old patriarch.

"Thank you for sending my grandson back!" the old patriarch said to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu smiled and said: "After we learned about what happened to Xiao Doudou, we happened to be on the way and sent Xiao Doudou back. However, you must take care of the children at home in the future to prevent them from being abducted by traffickers again."

The old patriarch sighed and said: "This child's parents worked outside in the early years and died in a foreign land. Only Xiaodoudou and I depended on each other. Later, someone came to our Linmao and said they wanted to buy the land in our village.

Specialty. As a result, these people had bad intentions and kidnapped Xiao Doudou. I thought I would never see Doudou again in this life. I didn’t expect that I would still be able to see him in my lifetime. Thank you!"

The old patriarch saluted Zhao Xu and others again.

"Old patriarch, you are so polite!" Zhao Xu returned the courtesy to the old patriarch.

The old patriarch turned to Uncle Wu and said: "Alan, call your wife quickly to help prepare the food. Tonight, we are hosting a banquet for distinguished guests."

"Hey! I'll go right away." Uncle Wu nodded and hurried out of the old village chief's house.

Zhao Xu and others were invited to the house by the old patriarch.

The old patriarch personally brewed a pot of black tea. When he was about to pour tea for Zhao Xu, Zhao Xu hurriedly took it and poured a cup for the old patriarch first. Then, he poured a cup for Hua Yi and Zhao Han each. Take turns.

When Lu Yuqi arrived, he put the teapot directly in front of Lu Yuqi.

Lu Yuqi glared at Zhao Xu, grabbed the teapot and poured herself a cup.

Xiao Doudou was very happy to return home and took Zhao Nian to play in the yard.

However, Huayi's heart was full of worries. She knew that the time for Xiaodoudou's poisoning was coming.

People in Linmao Village all wear distinctive ethnic clothes. Men wear headbands on their heads, and women wear silver ornaments on their heads.

Zhao Han and Lu Yuqi fell in love with this place as soon as they arrived.

Although this village is located in a remote place, like a place where birds don't poop, it is in sharp contrast to the modern metropolis. But here, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. In addition to the continuous mountains, there are beautiful terraced fields at a glance.

In autumn, the scenery is truly breathtaking.

This place is like a paradise, allowing people living in the city to take off the fatigue of the day and return to the countryside and nature.

The old patriarch asked Zhao Xu: "Mr. Zhao, where are you from?"

Zhao Xu said "Oh!" and then said with an idea: "I am from Sioux City!"

There is nothing wrong with what Zhao Xu said. He was born in "Su City" and later moved abroad and then lived in Lincheng. It can be said that he has lived in both the south and the north.

He is a person who was truly born in the south and lives in the north.

The old patriarch nodded and said, "Su City is great! There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. I am not afraid of your jokes. I have only been lucky enough to visit Su City once in my life, and I am quite impressed by it!"

"Then you came to Yunjiang for tourism?" the old patriarch asked.

"Come to do some errands and take a trip!"

"Then those of you who come from Sioux City, please be careful! We have a high altitude here, and you outsiders may suffer from hypoxia. Be especially careful when going to high mountain places."

At the mention of "mountain", Zhao Xu and Hua Yi looked at each other.

Even though the "old patriarch" is nearly 80 years old, except for holding a cane, his speech logic is very clear.

Huayi is a doctor, and it can be seen at a glance that the body of the "old patriarch" is still very strong. Maybe it has something to do with daily maintenance, or it has something to do with the unique geographical environment of this land of outstanding people.

"Thank you, old patriarch!" Zhao Xuhan nodded.

He originally wanted to take this opportunity to ask the old patriarch about the successor of "Gu Shu". However, he always felt it was too abrupt to ask about this matter when he first came to "Linmao".

Zhao Xu glanced at Hua Yi. Hua Yi understood instantly and said loudly: "Patriarch, can I ask you a question?"

The old patriarch nodded and said, "Just ask!"

"Xiao Doudou's physique is weak. If this child had not been poisoned by the cup, he would most likely not live to be ten years old and die early. Who came up with the method of using the cup poison to plant the cup in this child's body?" Hua

Yi asked.

When the old patriarch heard this, his eyes widened, his face darkened, and he asked in a cold voice: "Who are you? How did you know that Doudou was weak and had a cup in his body?"

Zhao Xu was afraid that the old patriarch would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained: "Patriarch, this person next to me is a doctor. She has very good medical skills, so when she was treating Xiao Doudou, she discovered the abnormality in Doudou's body."

"What's wrong with Doudou?" the old patriarch asked with concern.

Hua Yi said: "The poison in Doudou's body has begun to take effect. This child has at most ten years to live, and sooner or later he will suffer from the poison."

The old patriarch was stunned for a long time after hearing this.

After a while, he let out a long sigh and said, "Doudou, this child has a hard life! A few years ago, the young people in the village couldn't resist the temptation from the outside and had to go out to work to make money. Doudou was frail and sick in the early years. Our village used to

There was an old doctor who also concluded that Doudou would not live to be ten years old. So, in order to treat Doudou's illness, Doudou's parents went to work outside to make money. As a result, they..."

Speaking of this, the old patriarch burst into tears.

After wiping his tears with his sleeve, the old patriarch choked and said: "Later, after Doudou's parents were gone, I lived alone with Doudou. I took Doudou to visit the old doctor. He was my

A friend of mine. He said that the only way to extend Doudou's life is to plant a cup into Doudou's body. However, it can only extend the life span of ten years. I will see if there is a miracle doctor in the extra ten years.

can solve this problem."

Zhao Xu glanced at Hua Yi.

In the whole world, even Hua Yi is helpless against the "cup poison". I'm afraid no one can cure Xiao Doudou's disease.

"I also know that after Xiao Doudou is planted in the cup, he will suffer from misfortune in the future. But I have already lost my son and daughter-in-law, and I can't lose Doudou again."

Zhao Xu saw the old patriarch showing his true feelings and could understand his feelings.

He was already over eighty years old, and no one else could have withstood this series of blows to him.

At this moment, Zhao Nian ran in.

"No...it's not good! Xiaodoudou, he has an attack of illness again, and he is lying in the yard rolling around."

When everyone heard this, their expressions changed drastically.
