Xie Zhiying also fell silent. He patted the man on the shoulder, wordlessly but full of concern.
Any language seems pale and feeble at this moment.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered the scene when he saw the man for the first time.
The other person was still a child, and describing him as skinny would not be an exaggeration at all.
It was already winter, and the thin clothes on the boy's body clung tightly to his thin body, unable to cover up his protruding bones at all.
The young man was not unconventional at all in the pile of dead people. In fact, compared to the group of dead people, the young man's image at that time was even more terrifying.
If it weren't for the residual heat in the other person's heart, he would have almost buried the boy as a corpse.
The young boy was extremely thin back then, and Xie Zhiying would feel heart palpitations every time he saw it.
The opponent's skin was tight on the bones, like a close-fitting skull suit.
His arms and legs are like two slender bamboo poles, especially the leg bones. When they move, they almost break through a thin layer of skin and stand out, which is shocking.
During those days, whenever Xie Zhiying saw the other person, he would unconsciously worry, always worrying that one of his bones would penetrate his skin in the next second.
The other person was so thin at that time, it seemed as if he would collapse if a gust of wind blew over him.
Xie Zhiying thought that he was not a kind person, but he couldn't help but relented and picked it up.
Now that boy has grown up.
Xie Zhiying patted the man's shoulder and comforted him: "Don't think about it. The matter has passed. You are better off living well by yourself. After a while, we will ask a matchmaker to find a wife. By then, the wife and children will be happy."
The kang head is no better than anything else."
Being comforted by Xie Zhiying clumsily, the man couldn't help but laugh out loud. He wiped away his tears: "Brother Xie, I'm lucky to have you!"
Xie Zhiying really couldn't play this affectionate trick, so she coughed slightly, turned her head away in embarrassment, and shouted: "Okay, how old are you? You thought you were a child? Why are you crying like this?
Don't be embarrassed, okay, okay, go and do your business, I have to go back too."
After leaving the man, Xie Zhiying did not go back to the guest house directly, but turned around and went to an alley.
Following the pattern of one short, one long, and one short, Xie Zhiying knocked on the door of the house at the end of the alley.
After knocking three times in a row, he stopped what he was doing and waited quietly for the reaction of the person inside.
A minute later, the door suddenly opened. The person who opened the door was a young man in his 20s. When he saw Xie Zhiying, he looked happy and shouted into the room: "Dad, dad, look who it is."
coming?"
"Why are you shouting, where is Alkaline Hun'er!" As soon as the young man finished speaking, an old but powerful voice came from the room.
"Who's coming?"
Young man: "You will know when you come out."
After a while, a 50-year-old man came out of the house. When he saw Xie Zhiying, he was surprised at first, then showed a smile on his face and greeted enthusiastically: "Brother Xie, you are here, come in quickly, come in quickly."
!”
After saying that, he turned around and kicked the young man, and cursed: "Why are you still standing here? You don't even have a look. Why don't you go get your Uncle Xie a glass of water?"
Then he turned around and looked at Xie Zhiying with a smile on his face again: "Brother Xie, you haven't been here for a long time. This time you come, I have to drink two more drinks no matter what."
Xie Zhiying waved his hand and refused: "No, brother, I have something to do today, another day, another day, I will come here specially, and then we will have a good drink. And don't keep the children busy, I have to go back soon
Already."
The old man frowned and said with some dissatisfaction: "What's the big deal? I don't even have time to drink water."
Xie Zhiying: "Brother, I really have something to do today. I came here to pick up my eldest nephew. The old man at home is still eagerly waiting to see his grandson. If he knew that I was drinking here and delayed him from seeing his eldest grandson,
You have to beat me with a cane."
"Okay, but we have agreed that when we come here next time, we will drink enough at one time."
The old man also knows something about the situation of the Xie family.
Knowing that the other party's great nephew would come over only once in a while, I no longer attached any importance to him.
"Okay, okay, I will drink all the good wine you have hidden by then, brother."
As soon as he said this, the old man smiled: "Okay, I'm just waiting for your words. I won't let you leave until you finish drinking."
The young man over there saw that his old man was happy, so he dared to bring the tea.
"Uncle Xie, have some tea."
Xie Zhiying took the tea, took a few sips, then explained the purpose of his visit, asked the old man what other dishes were available today, and if so, arranged a few for him so that he could entertain his nephew.
"Yes, it must be there. If others ask, it may not be there, but you must definitely have it. Just wait here and I will prepare it for you. Our nephew will definitely enjoy it."
Before Xie Zhiying could speak again, the old man entered the kitchen in a panic and began to work.
Looking at the back of his old man, the young man gave Xie Zhiying a thumbs up.
"Uncle Xie, you have to be able to speak well in front of the old man. If it were me, the old man would definitely say something you want to say..."
Before the young man finished speaking, the old man roared again from the kitchen: "You bastard! Did you touch my things again?"
The moment the voice came, the young man trembled subconsciously, and a trace of panic flashed across his face.
It was broken, and the old man discovered it.
He pretended to be calm and said towards the kitchen: "What is it? I don't know. If you look for it again, I haven't entered the kitchen recently."
As the young man spoke, he looked toward Xie Zhiying as if he was asking for help.
Xie Zhiying looked at him with a half-smile, and asked in a low voice: "What did you touch your father again?"
The young man didn't want to say it at first, but looking at Xie Zhiying's look like "If you don't tell me, I won't help," he still whispered it out: "I thought the small jars in his kitchen were quite nice, so I took two of them away.
indivual."
Xie Zhiying looked him up and down: "Do you believe what you say?"
"Believe it, why don't you believe it?" The young man said through gritted teeth.
"Stop making trouble, please tell me honestly. What did you break again for your father?"
The young man hesitated for a long time, and finally, seeing the old man in the room about to come out, he told what he had done.
"I was looking for two jars to hold something. After searching for a long time, there were no suitable jars at home, so I thought of the bottles and jars in the kitchen. I thought about so many bottles and jars. My father usually also
I didn’t pay attention, so I just… secretly took two of them.”
The more the young man spoke, the more guilty he became, and by the end he almost lost his voice.
