Chapter 17 An Old Lady with a Story

(Additional update 1 for Xingyu)

Initially Zhang Lihua was unwilling to accept it, but Chen Xi's attitude was firm, so he had no choice but to accept it. The moment he touched the small sachet, a voice sounded in his mind.

"No. 002, Master Zhang Lihua, you have obtained a G-level item, a sachet amulet."

"The sachet amulet: Exclusively handmade by Chenxi, it has the effect of calming the mind, exorcising evil spirits and avoiding misfortune."

Zhang Lihua was somewhat embarrassed. For two days in a row, Chen and Xi gave him something. "Grandma, I'm not polite. I've accepted the things. If you need anything, you can always ask me to do it, such as cleaning."

I can do any job like repairing sewers."

His simplicity did give Chen Xi some warmth, and Chen Xi's favorability towards him also improved a lot. Seeing Zhang Lihua's appearance, Chen Xi's expression became much kinder. She

As if looking at his own grandson: "Hey, if my eldest child is still alive, he will probably be as old as you. The brothers and sisters are very busy with work, and only Joy is with me. If you don't dislike me as an old woman,

, just come and chat with me often."

"Number 002, Zhang Lihua Hall Master, Chenxi's favorability increased by 5, triggering a G-level ordinary mission chat. Do you accept the mission?"

It was a good thing to have a task, so Zhang Lihua agreed without even thinking.

Zhang Lihua looked at the old man and said: "This morning, I took the cakes back to share with my friends. Everyone said they were delicious. One uncle especially liked the osmanthus peach cake."

Chen Xi seemed to be touched upon hearing this, and gradually opened her heart to Zhang Lihua.

"A long time ago, there was a woman whose husband died of illness and she also had a son with bad eyesight. The mother and son depended on each other and lived a very poor life. Later, the woman met an honest man who opened a pastry shop.

, with three children, all younger than the woman’s sons.”

"The second child is a girl. She is well-behaved. She goes back to the pastry shop to help out whenever she has time. Even so, she is always at the top of the grade. One year, she had a car accident and her legs were disabled. Even though she missed her classes, she was a girl.

, I still ranked among the best when I returned to school.”

"The third child is quirky and has good academic performance. Although they are both girls, their personalities are completely different from the second child. They are the kind of people who are more capable of fluttering and can impress people wherever they go."

"The fourth child is a wild boy. He has a somewhat gloomy and stubborn personality. He is very smart, but he likes to fight. But he has nothing to say about his family. Even his stepmother and brother, he has always respected him. Even if he has suffered some grievances,

He never told his father and always liked to hide in the corner alone."

"My parents were busy with the pastry shop and didn't have much time to care about the mental state of the four children. Fortunately, the children were all obedient. As the days passed, the man became seriously ill and passed away soon. About that time

At that time, the woman discovered that there was something different about the fourth child. She could always find some strange marks on the family truck, such as it had never rained, but the tires were muddy..."

"The eldest brother is blind, so of course he can't touch a car. The second brother goes to a boarding school and doesn't have time to come back often. The third and fourth children are at home, but the fourth brother doesn't even have a driver's license. Alas..."

"The woman remained calm and paid careful attention. Although she had no conclusive evidence, she could always find some clues in the car, such as some tiny animal hairs in the compartment, and sometimes there was a faint smell of blood in the cab.

The woman finally installed a driving recorder, but still gained nothing."

"The woman had no choice but to resort to the most primitive method of stalking! For a while, she lived in the pastry shop. As long as the truck downstairs moved, he would naturally notice it. One day, she finally saw the car moving.

So he followed. The eldest, third and fourth children were all there. The three children seemed to be arguing about something. The old man was worried about arousing the children's rebelliousness, so he did not step forward immediately, but watched from a short distance away.

Then, the three children ended up unhappy. At that time, she didn’t know what the three of them were arguing about..."

Of course Zhang Lihua knew that what the old man told was a story that really happened to her. The boss with bad eyesight was the blind man Qiu Fengxiao took him to visit!

Chen Xi has a kind heart, so she would inevitably feel uneasy when she saw this scene. Seeing the old man sinking into painful memories, Zhang Lihua didn't know what to say.

However, through the exchange just now, Zhang Lihua suddenly discovered something special, that is, Chen Xi didn't seem to know that she had passed away, and the man who lived in 303 seemed to have a deep obsession with the moment before death.

, the people here seem to be different.

It seems that Chen Xi seems more like a living person.

"No. 002, Master Zhang Lihua, the chat mission is completed. Congratulations on becoming Chen Xi's friend!"

Zhang Lihua hurriedly checked the face panel, and sure enough, Chen Xi's name appeared in the friends column. Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Lihua hurriedly left.

When I went down, there was already the sound of walking in the corridor. It seemed that the boss must have gotten up.

Zhang Lihua went down to say hello and mentioned something joyful by the way. The boss said impatiently that he didn’t know. Zhang Lihua was not surprised. The boss looked a little hard to talk to. He also said that there was no hot water in the house. The boss said

After saying that there was a hot water room, I went back to the house.

This time the door was opened in advance. When Zhang Lihua was about to leave, she suddenly heard a crisp "pop" sound coming from the boss's room, as if something fell to the ground.

The door was ajar, and Zhang Lihua took two steps forward, wanting to eavesdrop. The boss cursed loudly. Zhang Lihua always thought the boss was weird, but she couldn't tell what was weird. She didn't respond after hearing this.

Wei Lai, the boss is not from Haicheng!

When she usually speaks, she can't hear it, but when she curses, she brings out a very strong Mianchuan accent. When Zhang Lihua was in college, she had a roommate in the dormitory who was from Mianchuan, and he was very familiar with this accent.

There seemed to be an old man in the room, whimpering, and only the boss's voice could be heard. Soon the sound of footsteps came, and Zhang Lihua quickly pretended to be walking forward.

The boss came out and saw Zhang Lihua’s back and shouted, “What are you doing?”

Zhang Lihua said with a smile: "Didn't you say that a cat was lost? I want to see if there is one here."

"No, no!" The boss waved his hand, trying to chase people away. Zhang Lihua also knew it, so she looked at her watch and said, "Forget it, I'm going to be late for work. If it doesn't work, just buy another one."

Zhang Lihua walked out as she spoke. It didn't matter if he went to work early or late. The main thing was that he really didn't want to stay in this hotel any longer...
