The familiar streets, the familiar storefronts nearby, everything was so familiar that Xue Wusuan could never forget it in his bones.
He has always been in the county town, but has never come back. At first, he wanted to look like a good person before coming back, but later he found that the more he behaved, the less good he looked. Even if he made money later, he did not dare to come back.
I don't even dare to tell people that I came from an orphanage, for fear that I would dirty the signboard of the orphanage.
After dying once, I can think about many things and let them go.
At first, the three girls were curious as to why Xue Wusuan had to get off the bus two blocks away in advance. But later they saw him looking around, his eyes filled with memories, and they finally understood. They walked slowly with him.
Sunshine Welfare Home. The gate has not changed at all, and it still looks rustic. There is just an extra gate post, but the young man at the gate doesn't recognize him anymore.
The three girls came here often and were very familiar with Mengang. After saying hello, they led Xue Wusuan inside.
There are some more buildings inside, and many places have obviously been renovated. Some things are missing, and some things are added.
A middle-aged woman greeted the three girls from a distance.
"Brother Xue, that's Aunt Wang, the vice president here." Wang Siran introduced Xue Wusuan in a low voice.
Aunt Wang came closer, greeting the three girls with a smile, and curiously looking at Xue Wusuan, who was wearing sunglasses next to her.
To be honest, Aunt Wang was a little frowning. Although this young man was smiling, he gave people a very dangerous feeling. He was not a good person no matter how he looked at it.
"Who is this young man?"
Zhou Xun introduced: "Aunt Wang, this gentleman's surname is Xue. He left the orphanage a few years ago. He came back to see Director Liao."
The child who walked out of the orphanage? His surname is Xue?
A sudden flash occurred in Aunt Wang's mind, and a name that made her ears ring with calluses came out.
He asked in surprise: "Are you Xue Wusuan?"
Xue Wusuan was very surprised. He obviously didn't recognize Aunt Wang. How could he tell her his name in just one breath?
"Yes, you know me?"
"Well! You don't just know! You have been so considerate all these years, but you have never come back even once." Aunt Wang suddenly became angry.
Xue Wusuan was silent for a while and said in a deep voice: "I have no shame in coming back."
Are you too embarrassed to come back? These four words made Aunt Wang's face stiffen, and most of the anger in her heart suddenly disappeared. She sighed and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to see Dean Liao. He's very angry these days.
His health is not good again, please help me persuade him properly."
Xue Wusuan chuckled and said, "He doesn't need anyone's persuasion."
Aunt Wang was stunned again. Then she also laughed. She sent the three girls to work and led Xue Wusuan to the door of a room.
Opening the door, Aunt Wang cheerfully said inside: "Mr. Liao, guess who came to see you today?"
"Who? Let them go, I'm not dead, just watch it! You want to see my joke, but there's no way!"
Without waiting for Aunt Wang to explain, Xue Wusuan had already entered the room. What struck his eyes was that he still looked the same, except that he was much older, with few hairs left, and some age spots on his face. However, his waist was still straight, and he was holding a hand.
Reading newspaper with magnifying glass.
"Huh? Who is this young man? He looks familiar!"
"Old immortal, you didn't expect to be alive to see me, did you?" Xue Wusuan took off his sunglasses and laughed.
Aunt Wang never expected that the first thing Xue Wusuan said would be such an impolite thing. She thought it was going to be bad.
"Okay! It's you little bastard! I'll smash you to death!" Dean Liao saw Xue Wusuan taking off his sunglasses and recognized him immediately. His eyes bulged, and he raised his hand and pointed the teacup on the table towards Xue
Unexpectedly, it was smashed over.
Xue Wusuan stretched out his hand to catch the cup. His smile did not diminish, and he put it back. He said happily: "I haven't seen you for so long, old man, why are your hands still so good? You can't even hit people with accuracy?"
"Joke! I'm afraid I'll kill you!"
"You can't kill me, and the bastards outside can't kill me. I'm cheap and can live anywhere. Look, this dress is nice, isn't it? You can't afford it if you don't live well!"
"Hmph! No matter how good the clothes are, you look like dog skin. How dare you show off in front of me? Go and get your Aunt Wang a glass of water!"
Aunt Wang stared blankly at the old and the young, and understood something in her heart. She smiled and refused Xue Wusuan to pour her water, found an excuse and closed the door and left. She couldn't hide her smile no matter what.
Dean Liao took a sip of the tea that Xue Wusuan had brewed for him. He looked around and said, "You came back to see me for the first time in twenty years, and you came empty-handed?"
"No! I originally thought about buying some fruits outside, but I gave it up. It's very expensive."
"Hmph! You can't even afford fruit, but you still have the nerve to say that you're doing well? Shame on you!"
Xue Wusuan laughed again. He raised his hand and a pot of fruit wine was placed on the table. This wine was not simple, it was a rare treasure scraped by Sikong Xuan: monkey wine. Not only was it rich in taste, but it was also a drink for warriors.
Drinking it can increase internal strength, and ordinary people can prolong their lives by drinking it.
"Wine? You kid, don't you know that I can't drink when I'm sick? Are you giving me wine? Wow! Good wine! Go, pour the tea, and fill it up for me with this!"
Xue Wusuan smiled and changed the old man's teacup. He couldn't drink the tea before.
"Not bad! Not bad! This wine is not simple! What is it made from?"
The old man came from the army and had a good drinker. This was his favorite drink. He even had some knowledge about wine. Xue Wusuan naturally wanted to give things to him to suit his taste.
"Not only is it good wine, but you have nowhere to buy it if you have money. Have you ever heard of monkey wine? Drink it and keep it and you will live to be a hundred years old. Then no one will think I am scolding you if I call you immortal.
"
"Monkey wine? Boy, where did you get it? Does this thing really exist?" If anyone else had said "monkey wine", the old man would have spit it out. But this was said by Xue Wusuan, who never said it.
Never lied to him.
"You've had four or five sips, do you think it exists? Okay, I'll give it to you and you can drink it. Why do you ask where it came from?"
"Okay. I won't ask this. Then tell me what's going on!" As he said that, the old man took a piece of paper from his pocket and put it in front of Xue Wusuan.
Death notice.
Xue Wusuan was speechless. This thing must have been sent by the police after his death. The welfare home has been his root throughout his life, so he could only send it here.
Seeing that Xue Wusuan was silent, the old man sighed and said: "Okay, I won't ask about this matter anymore. I can't ask you based on your appearance. Okay, you can go, when will you be free?"
Bring me some more wine."
Xue Wusuan laughed, but for some reason his eyes were wet.
"You're crying! You have eyes for me to use when I die and cry in my grave. Get out of here, I'll get angry just looking at you." Dean Liao turned away, not letting Xue Wusuan look at his face.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside, and Xue Wusuan heard children crying and some men shouting and cursing.
Old man Liao suddenly stood up, with an angry look on his face, and shouted: "The dog is here again? It's just too much!"
When Xue Wusuan saw the old man's appearance, he guessed what was going on outside.
He stopped Old Man Liao, who was about to open the door and go out, and curled his lips and said, "Okay, sit down and drink your bar. Why are you, an old man, so blindly involved in this kind of thing? I'll go take a look. It's really serious. It's so urgent."
"
"No! You're going to cause trouble if you go there." The old man knew that Xue Wu was messing around, so he didn't feel at ease at all.
"Old man, what age are we in now? Do you still think that I only know how to fight and kill like before? Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion."
In the worried eyes of Old Man Liao, Xue Wusuan walked out of the house and thought to himself: "Actually, apart from fighting and killing, I really don't know anything else."
