Chapter 173 173: Don’t feel bad, you still have me

"Grandpa Ji."

"No, this old slave can't be a grandfather to my little master."

"Li Jincheng, who is this?"

"Grandpa Ji used to be the housekeeper here... I didn't expect that he never left here."

"He was trying to scare people just now."

"I'm sorry, little master, thieves often come here... This old slave has no power, so he can only wear this shroud to scare people..."

"It's okay, I don't blame you."

I blame my mother for being unkind and ruining the entire Ji family.

Li Jincheng's hand gripping the armrest of the wheelchair felt a little tight.

The old man looked to be at least eighty years old. He looked a little hunched over and his eyes were a little cloudy.

He silently glanced at Lu Xiaowan and said, "This one belongs to the young master..."

Lu Xiaowan quickly replied: "I am his wife!"

"It turns out that it's the young lady...the old slave who is here to give you a gift."

"No, it's unnecessary. How old are you? I'm afraid my life will be shortened if you give me a gift."

"Once you are a slave, you will always be a slave... If a slave worships his master, his life will not be shortened, but his luck will only increase... Don't be afraid, young lady."

"Um, have you always lived here alone?"

"Yes, the young master has left with the young masters... I have to stay here and guard him until they return..."

Hearing this, Lu Xiaowan couldn't help but feel sad.

"But you...are quite old."

The old man said with a smile: "The old slave has to wait for one day if he lives for one day. If he really can't wait to return to his master, it would be nice to be buried here...it can be considered as a fallen leaf returning to its roots."

"Uncle...have you ever come back?"

The old man shook his head with sad eyes and said, "I never came back."

Li Jincheng took a deep breath and said no more.

Lu Xiaowan said: "Well, grandpa, have you... always lived here?"

"Yes, young lady, young master and young lady, do you want to go inside and take a look? I can't pull out the weeds outside... but I clean and sweep the house inside every day.

It's clean, it can accommodate people, and it can also accommodate people."

"Then let's go in and take a look."

"Okay, this old slave will lead the way for the young masters."

It has to be said that even if this house has deteriorated to what it is today, you can still imagine from the architecture how glorious this place once was.

The further inside, the greater the shock in Lu Xiaowan's heart.

As if she didn't know what she was thinking of, she couldn't help but whisper in Li Jincheng's ear: "Li Jincheng, if this place is renovated and turned into a tourist attraction, well... it will definitely make money every day."

When Li Jincheng heard this, he looked at her with complicated eyes and said nothing.

Lu Xiaowan immediately felt a little hot in her ears, and said sheepishly: "I just said that... I didn't really want to do it, I just felt that this place was too desolate... not very popular.

This old man will defend this place to his death... How desolate it is for a person to live in this empty place every day..."

"If uncle comes back one day, you can mention it to him."

"Then when will he come back?"

"have no idea."

When the old man who was leading the way heard this, he couldn't help but said with a smile: "Young master, I guess you will be back soon. I had a dream a few days ago that the young master was back... The two young masters also

When he grows up, he is a talented person."

After saying this, the old man's eyes couldn't help but fall on Li Jincheng's face, and then he changed his words: "But compared to you, the young master, it's not even close...Young master, you are born like a young lady, and the young master is born like a master,

The young master is born like the madam. Back then, the madam fell in love with the old man at first sight and insisted on marrying him because of his outstanding charm... So, the young master is not as good-looking as the young lady.

Young masters, I didn’t express my gratitude to you for your good looks... Oh no, the old slave said, Master and Madam have said that our family has no expression for you... The children of the young lady and the young master are all biological children of the family, and they are all little ones.

Master."

With these words, Li Jincheng almost lost control on the spot, but clenched his fists to hold back.

He remembered this.

Because my grandparents thought it was annoying for others to call him cousin, they gave this order.

In my memory, it seems that no one has ever called him cousin.

"Li Jincheng, the elders in your family really love you."

"Well, they... love me very much."

Unfortunately, they all no longer exist.

Even my uncle has been missing for many years...his life and death are unknown, and he has never come back.

The old man said with a smile: "I think back then, before I got married, I was the family favorite, and everyone loved me. After I gave birth to the child, young master, you became the family favorite, and I was jealous because of it.

,

He said that you were the one who stole her favor after she gave birth, which made the master and his wife laugh."

Lu Xiaowan, the more she listened, the more sad she felt.

People are not afraid of never owning something, because then at least they don't know what it feels like to have it.

I'm afraid that I once had everything, but later lost it all.

I tried the taste of possession, but ended up with nothing.

She grabbed Li Jincheng's hand with some distress and pulled Li Jincheng out of his sad thoughts.

He looked at her in surprise.

Lu Xiaowan smiled at him and said, "Li Jincheng, don't feel bad, you still have me."

For a moment, Li Jincheng's nose started to feel sore.

But he quickly looked away, looked away and vaguely responded to her: "Yes."

"Young Master and Young Madam, we have arrived at the main hall. The two young masters will take a rest while I go and serve you some tea."

What surprised Lu Xiaowan was that the tea sets brought over by the old man looked like antiques.

The tea leaves used to make tea are not old tea, but fine new tea, the kind that you can tell just by tasting it.

Lu Xiaowan subconsciously blurted out: "This place is so dilapidated... but there is still such good tea and tea sets?"

The old man said with a smile: "This is the Ji family! There were rumors in the early years that if you just dig a hole, you can find good things. Little master, these are nothing."

"No wonder you scare thieves."

"It's so bold that you won't be scared away. Those who can be scared away will come again. After all, wealth can only be found in danger... However, this place is only familiar to me. Even if this ordinary thief comes, he can't find anything by digging holes in the ground.

Baby."

"Then do you know where the baby is?"

"It's unspeakable... In short, the old Ji family can never decline. Here, there is just no master to return home for the time being. As long as there is a master to return home, it can rise quickly."

So awesome?

Then why hasn't Li Jincheng's uncle come back yet?

Could it be...that there is more danger than danger?

Ah bah.

Don't think blindly!

Li Jincheng was the only close relative left in his grandmother's house.
