One of them has a huge beer belly, wearing a plaid shirt and overalls, and a khaki cap on his head. He looks like the movie star Zheng Zeshi.
Another old man was wearing a knitted hat, his face was lined with grooves, and his lips were pale and shriveled, giving him the appearance of a terminal illness.
He was thin and skinny, as if he would be blown over by the wind at any time.
Feeling Chu Tianshu approaching, the fat old man glanced at Chu Tianshu warily, his eyes bright and clear.
Chu Tianshu smiled and nodded, and continued to run forward, not wanting to disturb the peace of the two old men.
However, before he ran a few steps, the fat old man shouted: "Young man, can you help us light the stove?"
Chu Tianshu paused, turned around and said with a smile, "Okay."
On the fishing platform, there was a small red clay stove with a casserole on it.
Next to it is a food box, a large bucket of pure water, and a box of charcoal.
Chu Tianshu took out a few sticks of charcoal and put them into the stove, then took a piece of solid alcohol and put it on the charcoal, then took out a lighter and lit the solid alcohol.
After the stove started burning, Chu Tianshu put the casserole up and filled it with pure water.
"Thank you, young man."
The fat old man walked over with a smile.
He knelt down next to the stove and clasped his hands around the stove.
As the red flames between the fat old man's brows lit up, his energy surged, and the flames roared in the furnace.
Soon, the water in the casserole boiled.
The fat old man took out the rice and put it into the casserole, and then went to process the fresh fish caught in the bucket next to him.
Chu Tianshu turned around and was about to leave, when the skinny old man said: "Young man, if you don't mind, why don't you stay and have some seafood porridge? I can't let you help light the fire in vain."
Chu Tianshu stopped and said with a smile: "Then I'm welcome."
The skinny old man turned around and said, "The seafood porridge cooked by Dashan is very authentic and cannot be tasted outside."
"Looks like I'm in a good mood today."
Chu Tianshu smiled, took out the cigarette case from his pocket, and motioned to the two old men: "Do you two smoke?"
The skinny old man waved his hand and refused.
The fat old man said: "Please light one for me."
Chu Tianshu took out a cigarette and put it in the fat old man's mouth, then helped him light the cigarette.
The fat old man worked very quickly. In just a few minutes, he finished processing the crabs and shrimps in the bucket and cooked them into the casserole.
Then, he prepared to use his inner strength to activate the charcoal fire.
The skinny old man said: "No, let's cook it slowly."
The fat old man nodded and straightened up.
The skinny old man looked at the lake in the distance with a leisurely and fascinated expression: "It's been a long time since I cooked porridge with you outside."
The fat old man said: "Sir, if you want to drink it, I can cook it at any time."
The skinny old man smiled: "I'm afraid I won't be able to drink a few times."
The fat old man's eyes dimmed instantly.
The skinny old man stood up tremblingly: "You cook the porridge, and I'll relieve myself."
The fat old man stepped forward and said, "I will help you go back."
"What are you going back for? What can't be solved around here?"
The skinny old man said with a smile: "I am already dying, do I still need to pay attention to my image? Besides, there is no one around here this week."
After saying that, he staggered towards the woods behind.
The fat old man looked at the back of the skinny old man, his expression full of sorrow.
Not long after, the muffled sound of a skinny old man suddenly came from the woods.
Although the sound was not loud, Chu Tianshu and the fat old man could still hear it clearly.
The two of them spread out their bodies at the same time and shot towards the woods.
Seeing that Chu Tianshu was even faster than him, a flash of surprise flashed in the eyes of the fat old man.
Chu Tianshu rushed into the woods and saw the skinny old man lying on the ground, unconscious.
The fat old man hurriedly helped the skinny old man up and exclaimed: "Sir, what's wrong with you?"
"He was poisoned."
Chu Tianshu grabbed the skinny old man's right hand, which had begun to turn black and swollen. There were two bloody holes side by side on the back of the hand.
The fat old man's pupils suddenly shrank: "Snake bite?"
He picked up the skinny old man and ran out like lightning.
Chu Tianshu caught up two steps and said, "I know a little bit about medicine, can you let me help you?"
The fat old man said without looking back: "Sir, we have a dedicated doctor."
People made it clear that they didn't believe him, so Chu Tianshu couldn't say anything else and could only stop.
When he returned to the fishing platform, the pot of seafood porridge had begun to boil.
"A pot of good porridge should not be wasted."
Chu Tianshu muttered to himself, pulled up the chair and sat down.
A few minutes later, when Chu Tianshu saw that the porridge was ready, he picked up the casserole and left.
Chu Tianshu returned to the villa, and Chu Xiruo happened to come out of the elevator.
Seeing Chu Tianshu holding a pot of porridge, Chu Xiruo was a little surprised: "Where did this come from?"
Chu Tianshu said with a smile: "I want to say that I picked it up outside. Do you believe me?"
At this time, Gong Yuntian hurried down the stairs.
Seeing Gong Yuntian's nervous expression, Chu Xiruo hurriedly asked: "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Father was bitten by a snake?"
Gong Yuntian said and rushed out of the villa.
"I'll go with you."
Chu Xiruo said something to Gong Yuntian and said to Chu Tianshu: "Tianshu, I'll go over and see the old man. Someone will prepare breakfast for you later."
"good."
Chu Tianshu nodded, looked down at the seafood porridge in his hand, and thought of the two old men he had just met.
He could basically conclude that the skinny old man just now was Gong Yibo, the head of the Gong family.
Chu Tianshu came to the restaurant with seafood porridge, asked the servant to get a set of bowls and chopsticks, filled a bowl of porridge himself, and ate slowly while watching TV.
Soon, the servant brought various kinds of breakfast to Chu Tianshu.
After Chu Tianshu finished breakfast, Chu Xiruo still didn't come back.
After thinking about it, Chu Tianshu decided to go over and have a look.
He asked the servant where Yoshihiro Akimiya lived and found it.
There are many guards on duty outside Gong Yihiro's residence.
As soon as the unfamiliar face Chu Tianshu approached, he was blocked by the guards.
Of course, Chu Tianshu couldn't just barge in, so he explained: "I am Chu Xiruo's nephew. I want to go in and see Mr. Gong."
The leading guard said expressionlessly: "Sorry, I can't let you in."
