Why not hang yourself on the southeast tree

Chapter 136: Wong Tai Sin: Double Kill (15)

No one answered Zhou Banxian's call.

Hu Dali called his grandson again. The bed was broken by his grandson, so he had to pay compensation to the landlord.

[Hey, Grandpa, what are you doing? Are you in a meeting...]

Hu Guizhi is a salesperson and she has to answer calls from customers no matter what time it is.

He didn't explain. When the phone rang, he just raised his hand to signal his boss and left the meeting room.

[Uh, Guizhi, grandpa accidentally broke your bed today. Look, where can I buy a suitable one? Otherwise, I will have to sleep on the floor tonight...]

Hu Guizhi stretched out his index finger and dug his ear, thinking he had heard it wrongly.

[Grandpa, are you sure? That is an iron bed. In addition to a wooden frame, there is also an iron net underneath...]

[Okay, I lifted up the mattress and looked at it. How could I not know it was an iron bed? It has collapsed. Just tell me where to buy a new one. There is no need to buy the same one, right?!]

[No, Grandpa, let me see if there is any second-hand one on Xianyu. It’s not worth buying a new one, and it’s not necessary. I won’t be able to take it with me when I move in two years.]

Hu Guizhi quickly opened the APP, entered the keywords and searched. Wow, there were so many items, but the shipping was not free, so she had to call a truck to bring them back.

[Grandpa, when I rented this house, the landlord wanted to give me nothing, but I strongly requested at least a bed and an air conditioner, otherwise I would not rent it, so he arranged it. They are all second-hand goods. I will send him a message later to let him know that the iron bed can be dismantled and sold to the scrap collection station! ]

[Okay, you little brat, where did you learn this miserly habit? Your grandfather didn’t teach you…]

[Squeak——]

(ˉ▽￣~) Cut~~

The crow laughs at the pig because it is black.

Aren't all the treasures you've collected over the years gathering dust in the safe in the basement of your study? !

Guizhi boy is stingy, and you are a miser even more miser than Grandet.

Less than two hours later, someone knocked on the door and brought a bed. Hu Dali was amazed at the efficiency.

Wow, it took three big guys to carry the 1.5-meter bed in vertically, and he was even thinking about going downstairs to carry it himself.

Hu Dali rubbed his hands. There wasn't even a cup of water in the house. After all the hard work, he couldn't even have a cup of tea to drink.

[Thank you so much, how much is the fee? ]

One of the guys wearing a hat said, "Old man, the fee has been settled online. Do you still need my help with making the bed?"

Hu Dali quickly waved his hand, [No, no, thank you! ]

A few people said goodbye in a hurry and took away the garbage at the door before leaving.

Well, that was because they were not paying attention to their feet when they moved the bed over just now, and kicked the garbage bag from the neighboring house over and dumped it by the door. The old man doesn't have the bad habit of littering.

However, I still have to say that the service is really good, attentive and enthusiastic.

[Squeak——]

Old man, please make the bed quickly, I’m so sleepy!

Just as Hu Dali was about to stand up, his brick phone fell out of his pocket, and the screen was lit up.

Zhou Banxian called.

Hu Dali quickly picked up the phone. This guy, no one knew where he was when they looked for him. If there was really something urgent, it would be too late.

【Hello? 】

[Hey, hello, who are you? ]

Zhou Banxian's muffled voice came from the other side, as if he was chewing five or six betel nuts while speaking.

[Me?! I’m the old man who asked you to do fortune telling twice before. What’s wrong with you? Not only was your business overturned, but you also got hit in the face?!]

When Hu Dali was young and energetic, he also helped his master to clear the way and beat people. When he heard the sound, he knew that his face was probably swollen and he couldn't control his saliva when he spoke.

[Alas, how come all this has reached your ears? My master gave me a lecture last night. I will be careful with my words in the future and avoid being arrogant and impatient.]

[I want to praise you a little bit. You did a good job. Everyone has their own face. No matter if you are a man or a woman, if you do something immoral, there will always be retribution. Didn't you do anything to those bastards? ]

[Hehe, that day I realized that you might be a fellow traveler, and it turns out you are indeed one of us! ]

When asked about the point, Zhou Banxian scratched his head embarrassedly.

[I have no intention to harm anyone, but I can't take this beating in vain. They won't have a smooth life for the next half month. They will fall when they walk on flat ground and get food stuck in their teeth when they drink water. It won't kill them, but they'll just be unlucky...]

Hu Dali unconsciously reached out to touch his chin, his eyes slightly narrowed. Well, not bad, he took revenge on the spot. This kid is quite to his liking.

[By the way, I want to talk to you. Where do you think it would be more convenient to go? ]

Finding his son's whereabouts has now become Hu Dali's top priority.

[Old man, since we are on the same path, you should know that it would be bad if I revealed too much of the secrets.]

Hu Dali thought that he might be rejected, but he still didn't give up.

[Okay, it's rare to meet a young man with real skills, let's drink tea and chat, and get to know each other? ]

[Well, that's fine. If I wasn't in such a state that I can't go out, I wouldn't have the nerve to ask you to come here. I'll send the address to your phone later. I'm staying at home with my master these days. You can come over whenever you are free. I'll treat you to good wine and tea.]

[Haha, you are so open-minded! I will be there in a minute. There is a delicatessen downstairs. I will bring some snacks!]

[Ah? That's great! It's settled, old man!]

Zhou Banxian covered his right face which was swollen like a steamed bun and called out "old man" happily. Old man Zhou Xing, who was dozing in the rocking chair with his back to him, opened his eyes dazedly.

[What do you want me to do, you little brat? Go have some porridge if you’re hungry! ]

Zhou Banxian hung up the phone excitedly and curled his lips.

[Hey, there will be food and wine later, why should I drink porridge? Just drink if you like! ]

[Bah, the guy next door is over 40 years old and has several children, but you are only growing older but not smarter, and you are still like a child who has not grown up. Your father handed you over to me, and although he didn't expect you to become successful, he at least left a descendant for your Zhou family, right? ! ]

[Oh, old man, if you keep pushing for marriage, forget about the good wine I brewed. I'll use it all to entertain my guests!]

[You dare! You little brat, don't think I can't hold a feather duster just because I'm old! ]

Zhou Xing stood up from the rocking chair in a rage, revealing his true face—

He has gray hair and chicken skin, and looks several decades older than Hu Dali, but his complexion is rosy.

Zhou Banxian was applying ice to his face when he heard a knock on the door.

Neither the master nor the disciple expected that the guest, as he said on the phone, would arrive in a moment, and it would actually arrive in a moment.

Only half an hour.

Considering the time for buying cooked food and taking a taxi, the person might have left before he even hung up the phone.

Zhou Xing pulled the door bolt with steady steps, and the door opened—

The two looked at each other.

Outside the door, Hu Dali, 87, with black hair and black eyebrows, five or six wrinkles on his forehead made him look older. He looked to be in his forties or fifties at most.

Inside the door, there was Zhou Xing, 71, with white hair and eyebrows, a face full of wrinkles, and a few age spots on the back of his hands. He looked to be at least in his s, and some people would probably believe him if he said he was over a hundred.

[Uh, hello, is this Zhou Banxian's family? ]

[Bah, that brat dares to call himself a half-immortal, what a big face! ]
