Son-in-law's Counterattack

2In the following days, the old man received us with great hospitality. Not only did he kill a chicken, but he also took the dried meat hanging from the eaves and served it as wine and food for us.    2

    

Lee Qi and I hadn't eaten meat for a long time. When the old man came out with the cured meat, it was so tasty that we immediately wolfed it down like hungry wolves reincarnated.    

    

After the meal, the long time of fatigue swept through my body. Lee Qi and I squeezed into the same room under the old man's arrangement.    

    

"This room of mine is small, you two youngsters, don't mind it." The old man said.    

    

I cupped my hands together and respectfully replied, "It's already pretty good to have a bed to sleep in. Many thanks, senior."    

    

Lee Qi quickly followed me to thank the old man and then threw himself onto the bed. In less than thirty seconds, he was fast asleep and snoring loudly.    

    

However, my whole body was exhausted, and even a big snoring sound couldn't stop my sleepiness. As soon as the old man closed the door, I quickly lay down on the bed, closed my eyes and went to sleep. My whole body felt extremely comfortable.    

    

5 AM in the morning.    

    

Damn Lee Qi, it's fine if he snores when he sleeps, but he actually dares to touch people. I was immediately shocked awake by him.    

    

I rubbed my temples and stood beside the bed. I stared at Lee Qi, who was sleeping soundly, and snappily said, "Fuck, this thing is poisonous!"    

    

I had no choice but to leave the room and walk to the courtyard outside the stone house. I wriggled my body a few times and breathed in the fresh air inside the mountain.    

    

The sky was still gray, and the bamboo forest in front of him was obstructing the wild beast's invasion. As the mountain breeze blew, it lightly swayed and rustled, creating a comfortable atmosphere.    

    

There was a bamboo forest in front of the stone house with its back facing the mountain. It was like a paradise, even the old man's' pet 'had fallen into a deep sleep in comfort.    

    

After lighting up a cigarette given by an old man, a strong scent entered my throat and straight into my lungs. I leisurely exhaled and muttered, "No wonder this senior is unwilling to come into contact with the outside world. This is indeed a very enjoyable life. I just don't know when I'll be able to be like him."    

    

Suddenly, a laugh came from behind him.    

    

Suddenly, the old man appeared in the room and started walking towards me.    

    

As they stood side by side, the old man gazed forward and lit a cigarette for himself. "What?" he asked. You want to be like this old man? "    

    

"Yeah, I just don't know when I'll be like you, senior." I couldn't help but sigh.    

    

The old man continuously smoked a few mouthfuls of grass smoke, not speaking for a long time. His expression was one of reminiscence.    

    

When the smoke had completely burnt off, the old man used his foot to extinguish it. He indifferently asked, "Although I don't know what happened, is your father still well?"    

    

I had expected this. I wasn't surprised at all when the old man asked this question.    

    

Thus, I nodded slightly and replied, "It's alright. I'm just like senior, unstained by the worldly realm and uninterested in fame and fortune. I'm willing to be an ordinary person."    

    

"This... It's not like him. Someone like him is destined to cause great waves, so how can he escape safely? " The old man's pupils constricted in surprise.    

    

I shook my head. "I don't know, but may I ask senior, what kind of person do you think my father is?"    

    

"Ten thousand..." "No one." The old man suddenly curled the corner of his mouth and laughed dryly.    

    

I turned my body to the side and cupped my hands in greeting. "Please enlighten me, senior. Actually, I am not too clear about my father's matters."    

    

"Since he didn't tell you, it must have been intentional, so what's the point of me telling you? "If you wish to know, then go and find out for yourself. There are some things that need one's strength to know. The current you is too weak."    

    

As the old man spoke, he slowly raised his hand and pointed in a direction, "From here, walk around the edge of the bamboo forest, all the way to the southeast. In less than three days, you will be able to leave the mountain range after passing through a few mountains.    

    

There wouldn't be any result if I continued asking, so I thanked the old man and went back to the stone house to wake Lee Qi up.    

    

Lee Qi obviously didn't get enough sleep, so I woke him up early in the morning and was very unhappy. He kept complaining, "What are you doing? It's still early, let's sleep for a while. "    

    

I raised my hand and knocked on Lee Qi's head as I scolded him, "Sleep, sleep. Do you still want to leave? If you don't want to leave, then stay here.    

    

"Well, I'll just get up, what's the rush? How about... Eating breakfast before leaving? " Lee Qi got up decisively and dressed up, still thinking about their bacon and chickens.    

    

I couldn't help but twitch the corner of my mouth. I glared fiercely at Lee Qi, "Eat, eat, eat. Other than eating and sleeping, what else can you do? It's already pretty good that they're willing to entertain us for a night, and they still want to trouble us? "    

    

However, the old man still gave us breakfast before standing under the eaves, holding the tiger and watching us leave …    

    

After walking around the bamboo forest for half a day and climbing over several large mountains in three days, it was exactly as the old man had said. They were not far from the edge of the mountain.    

    

Walking out of the mountains and onto a dusty village road, the people who rode past on motorcycles looked at us as if we were crazy.    

    

"Damn it, these clothes are so tattered. They look like beggars by the roadside." Lee Qi felt very ashamed, as if he had no face to meet anyone.    

    

I warned him, "We have to respect the wishes of that senior. He doesn't want to be connected to the outside world, so we can't tell anyone else about it."    

    

"Damn, do you think I'm stupid?" Lee Qi rolled his eyes at me.    

    

I patted my forehead speechlessly and immediately headed towards the town. I thought to myself, Lee Qi, you're an idiot …    

    

Entering into the town, dust flew everywhere, many townspeople rode motorcycles, shuttling back and forth.    

    

As for Lee Qi and me, our clothes were worn out and looked very crazy. I quickly found a country clothing store and changed Lee Qi's clothes.    

    

In the end, Lee Qi was still not satisfied. With a face full of reluctance, he complained, "What the hell is this cloth? Thirty dollars each? These are clothes? Even laozi's foot-cloth is more valuable than this! "    

    

Hearing this, the Lady Boss's expression changed.    

    

I was displeased and immediately scolded, "What are you shouting about? If you don't wear it, you're going to take it off. What are you screaming for? "Why don't you go up to heaven?"    

    

"I told you, why are you so serious?" Lee Qi was scolded by me, but he didn't dare to not wear it. His face turned green and red, as if he was ashamed of himself.    

    

I secretly gestured to the Lady Boss and pointed at my head, hinting to Lee Qi that there was something wrong with his head and telling her not to mind it.    

    

When I paid the bill, I paid more. I didn't expect the Lady Boss to be so simple that she didn't need any extra money.    

    

Therefore, I gave it to the Lady Boss and said, "Lady Boss, you should just take the rest. Do you have a phone number here? Can you pick me up if you want? "Just treat it as a reward, okay?"    

    

After thinking for a while, the Lady Boss finally agreed and brought Lee Qi and me to the depths of the store.    

    

When they arrived in front of an old and worn out landline, the Lady Boss finally stopped and said, "Our communication isn't good. There aren't many people who have a phone, so we all use it. Just use it. Just type it out."    

    

"Thank you." I thanked him.    

    

"Yes, it's fine." The Lady Boss trusted me so much, so she went back to the shop and continued to solicit business.    

    

Without a word, I picked up my landline and dialed Ning Hsing's number, thinking that after all the days I had been missing, she should be dying of anxiety.    

    

Lee Qi seemed to know that I was calling Ning Hsing, he immediately snatched the phone away. Since he didn't want me to take the phone back, I couldn't snatch it away no matter how hard I tried.    

    

And he said, "I'll go first! I want to call Ning Hsing too, just you wait! This time, I must tell Ning Hsing how shameless you are! "
