A car accident, our family of three crossed

Chapter 145 Another departure without saying goodbye

The reason why Old Man Xin gave away these small bottles and jars so readily was not entirely because he was greedy for wine, but because there were some things he needed to verify and he had to leave this place temporarily.

Just as Hang Shuheng considered, if the Wan family comes to cause trouble again, with these medicines to protect themselves, they will not become passive.

The corpse dug out from the grave on the back mountain that night could be proved to be his nephew through special identification techniques. Therefore, from the pulse of Song Ning's mother and son, it could be confirmed that they were his nephew's descendants.

Unexpectedly, in order to avoid the pursuit of the Dog Emperor, he would meet the descendants of his nephew by chance here. This was not only an unexpected gain, but also a huge surprise.

What puzzled him was that everyone believed that she was dead, but why did she end up living in this village under an assumed name and even gave birth to a daughter?

His niece had very high standards and ordinary people were not in her eyes. He couldn't help but wonder who that Mr. Song was and how he could catch her eye.

Old Man Xin thought a lot in his mind, but he couldn't imagine what was so special about Song Xiucai, a scholar. It was a pity that he was no longer alive, and he, who was considered a half-elder, couldn't find any faults even if he wanted to.

Hang Shuheng put away the bottles and jars, and when he came back he saw the old man was daydreaming, wondering what he was thinking about.

"What are you thinking about, old man?"

Old Man Xin came back to his senses, looked at Hang Shuheng and said seriously: "Boy, remember, don't reveal the name of this old man to anyone, understand?"

"Your name? What's your name?" Hang Shuheng pretended to be stupid.

"You little bastard, you were born to piss off an old man like me, right?"

Hang Shuheng touched his nose and said, "Can you please stop calling me kid all the time? I have a name and surname."

The old man refused: "I am happy with it, little boy, little boy, you stinky boy."

"Okay, okay, as long as you're happy." Hang Shuheng said after joking, "Don't worry, I won't reveal a single word about your name."

After spending a few days together, Hang Shuheng felt that there was no need for the old man to lie to him about his origins. Although he knew nothing about the Poison King of Mingshan, he had no doubt about the old man's true abilities.

If people outside knew that this old man who was both a master of medicine and poison lived in his house, he would probably never have a peaceful life in the future.

Thinking of this, Hang Shuheng couldn't help but be curious about the Mingshan Mountain the old man mentioned, "Grandpa, can you tell me what your hometown is like? Don't you plan to go back?"

When the old man was about to lose his temper after hearing this, Hang Shuheng assured him with a strong desire to survive: "I don't mean to drive you away. If you are willing to live here forever, we will be happy to take care of you in your old age."

"Hmph, you're smart, kid." Old Man Xin's expression eased a little, and then he smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen, and he couldn't sit still any longer, "Let's talk about it later, old man, I want to see what the girl is cooking, the fragrance is all coming in..."

After spending a few days together, Song Ning knew that Old Man Xin was a meat lover, so now almost every meal at home has meat. Recently, she went to the butcher's house to buy a lot more meat every day, which made the butcher very happy.

What was made today was braised pork. The fat and lean pork belly was stewed until it was soft and tasty. As soon as Old Man Xin entered the kitchen, he stood guard in front of the stove and secretly ate a piece of meat when Song Ning was not paying attention.

"Oh, old man, please be careful of the burns." Song Ning reminded him immediately when he found out, but it was too late.

Old man Xin was so burned that he jumped up and down and almost burned his tongue off, but he was reluctant to spit out the meat in his mouth.

Seeing this, Song Ning quickly poured him a bowl of cold water and asked him to drink it. Then he scolded him, "Why are you in such a hurry to eat? It must be so hot when it's just out of the pot."

"It's delicious, really delicious." Old man Xin drank the cold water to neutralize the remaining heat in his mouth and kept saying it was delicious.

Anyone would feel happy if the dishes he cooked were liked and praised by others. Song Ning was no exception. He was in a very good mood when he was praised by the old man.

"Don't worry, it's too hot here. Please go out and wait. I'll stir-fry two more side dishes and we can start eating."

Old man Xin came out of the kitchen reluctantly. Thinking that he would be away for a while and would have to go back to his miserable life of sleeping in the open air, he was a little reluctant to leave.

Soon, Song Ning cooked all the dishes and announced that it was time to eat.

Old man Xin couldn't wait, so he started to serve the dishes without anyone else's help. Hang Shuheng wrung out a wet towel and wiped Song Ning's sweat, saying thank you for your hard work.

At the dinner table, half a bowl of wine was not enough for Old Man Xin to rinse his mouth. He tried his best to bargain with Song Ning and finally got half an extra bowl of wine. He was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

The old man's acting like a spoiled brat and pretending to be pitiful seemed to tickle Yang Yang's funny bone, and he started to chuckle.

"Little kid, you dare to make fun of your great grandfather, don't you?" Old Man Xin said as he handed the wine bowl to Yang Yang, "That's because you don't understand. Wine is a good thing. How about you try it?"

"Uh-huh!"

Song Ning pretended to cough with a sullen face, and the old man immediately withdrew his hand. He didn't really want to feed the child wine, he just wanted to tease him.

"Hehehe!" He gave a dry laugh.

Song Ning said seriously: "Don't make such jokes again, or you will have no meat to eat and no wine to drink."

Not being able to drink alcohol and eat meat was more serious than taking the old man's life, so he quickly patted his chest and made the promise.

Recently, the family has become more lively with the addition of this old man. Hang Shuheng thinks that life is not bad as it is now, with the elderly, children, and pets, it is lively and harmonious.

However, this liveliness and harmony no longer existed the next day.

Hang Shuheng was in the study room, reading a letter and confirmed that Old Man Xin had left. He left without saying goodbye, another departure without saying goodbye.

Song Ning came in and saw him reading a piece of paper and asked, "What are you reading?"

Hang Shuheng handed the letter to her. After reading the contents of the letter, Song Ning asked in surprise, "The old man is gone?" He left so suddenly that it made people feel reluctant to let him go.

"Well! He's still thinking about his wine after he left!"

In the letter, Old Man Xin said that he had to leave for some important matters, and told Hang Shuheng not to drink up all his wine, otherwise he would make things difficult for him when he came back.

Today's dinner table seemed much quieter due to the absence of Old Man Xin, and even Yangyang felt uncomfortable.

"Where's Great Grandfather? Doesn't he eat?"

"Grandpa went back to his own home for something. He will come back when he has time."
