Chapter 53
Yu Chen has not yet mastered the method of qi refining, and cannot endow the paper figurine with supernatural powers, so although the paper figurine looks lifelike, it is still a fragile thing combined with dozens of bamboo sticks and yellow paper in essence.

It's the same even if the ghost of Zhou Sibo is on him.

Therefore, on weekdays, it only takes one hour to travel from Weishui Qingfengling to the county seat, but Zhou Sibo insisted on walking for more than two hours.

Under the wind and snow, Yu Chen didn't dare to run away with him on his shoulders, otherwise the wind and snow would be so strong that the paper figurine might fall apart before reaching the county town.

When Zhou Li sees his father, who is short of arms and legs, let alone talk to each other, he is afraid that he will pee his pants in fear.

All in all, when Yu Chen and Zhou Sibo, who was wearing a hood to hide his appearance, pointed to the road with no one and arrived at the county town, the sun had already set.

One person and one ghost were in the snowstorm, and looked at the gate of Zhou's house. The snow was smooth and there were no footprints, but they didn't find any horses at the gate or anything.

Looking at it this way, I'm afraid that Zhou Li has not come back yet!
So, they came to a night tea shop at the west gate of the city, and sat there waiting.

The west gate of Weishui City is the only way to go to the state capital. Zhou Li must pass through this place when he returns from the Jinyang Chamber of Commerce in the state capital.

On the other side, the entire Great Xia territory was freezing cold.

On the official road, a fierce horse galloped past through the wind and snow!

The one on the saddle was a middle-aged man, with a medium appearance and a medium build, only the long fur that he was wearing proved to be of great value. He looked anxious and kept beating the horse's buttocks with a whip!
The horse suffered from pain and ran even harder.

But when the horse was exhausted and couldn't run anymore, the middle-aged man would change another one at the post station, and the horse whipped up, non-stop!
Finally, in the middle of the night, I rode back to Weishui River!
At the gate of the city, he got off his horse and ran wildly towards the city!

"Father! You can hold on! The baby is back!"

"I won't be going out anymore, baby! It just so happens that Juan'er is about to give birth, so I just take her over. Our family of three will take care of you in Weishui!"

"..."

The man was in a hurry, anxious, and kept mumbling.

Looking at that appearance, it is almost similar to Zhou Sibu, and I am afraid that it is the Zhou Li that he has been thinking about.

In this era, communication is not well developed, even rich people can only rely on carrier pigeons to deliver news.

So Zhou Li hurried back after receiving the news that his father was unconscious. At this moment, he didn't know that his father had passed away early in the morning!

Stepping quickly through the city gate, Zhou Li was about to rush home, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a hunchbacked and familiar figure standing there leaning on crutches in front of the night tea and wine shop on the city gate tower.

Take a look!
Hey!
Isn't this exactly his father?

Zhou Li felt a buzzing in his head at that time!

Didn't dad fall and become unconscious?
Why is it still outside in such a heavy snow day?

He stopped, walked over tentatively, and took a look!
Those eyebrows, that appearance, that figure, those cloudy old eyes... That's right, it's his father!

"Father... you... why are you here?" Zhou Li walked into the tea shop, and in a hurry, he no longer cared about the cold war, and said, "Didn't mother say that you fell and passed out?"

"sit."

Zhou Sibo raised his eyes, pointed at the bench in the tea shop, and looked at his son: "What do you think your father used to do? He fought in wars! A mere fall, what's the big deal? Can I pick you up at the gate of the city?"

After listening, Zhou Li felt relieved a little, thinking that if something really went wrong, Mother might not let Father escape.

"Okay, then let's go home first, it's cold outside, I'm afraid you can't stand it." Zhou Li said.

"What! Old man, I just want to have a drink with you today, but your mother won't let me." Zhou Sibo shook his head with a straight face.

Then he looked at the waiter from the tea shop, "Serve the wine!"

Zhou Li had no choice but to sit opposite Zhou Sibo.

Soon, Xiaoer came up with several plates of peanuts, two plates of sauced beef, a jar of old wine, and a pot of sober tea.

"Come back all the way, be tired, eat more."

Zhou Sibo took some food for Zhou Li, his expression relaxed, and he asked, "How are you doing in the state capital all these years?"

Zhou Li, whose face was a little flushed as he drank the wine in one gulp, was taken aback for a moment.

On weekdays, his father would not show such concern, nor would he ask him such questions. Anyway, he just didn't care about his wanderings outside.

This whole thing made him a little flattered.

"Okay! Everything is good! That's right! Juan'er has found her happy pulse! She will give birth next year, and you can have a grandson then!" Zhou Li, who was hungry, replied hurriedly while eating.

"Oh... oh... okay..." Zhou Sibo's eyes darkened, but he quickly regained his composure and sighed, "Li'er, Dad shouldn't have forced you to go to the Yamen back then, and shouldn't have ignored your thoughts, You don't blame dad, do you?"

"Look at what you said, although I was very angry with you at the time, but if you want to blame it, it's not at all." Zhou Li shook his head.

He knew that Zhou Sibo was doing it for his own good, and the food in the yamen was really good, but he didn't care about it.

"That's good." Zhou Sibo nodded: "Father has also thought it through clearly. I will let you go your own way. When Dad is old, he will just watch you from behind."

With sauced beef in his mouth, Zhou Li was stunned and raised his head, "Father!"

He has been waiting for this for nearly ten years!

He has been in a cold war with Zhou Sibo for nearly ten years!

It's finally time to wait!
Between father and son, the past is finally resolved!
Next, Zhou Li drank a lot of wine and babbled.

He said that he was promoted again, and that the Jinyang Chamber of Commerce would open a branch in Weishui in a few days, so he could bring his wife and children back to support Zhou Sibo in the old age.

He said that when Juan'er's child was born, he would ask Zhou Sibo to name it.

After talking about it, I will renovate the house at home and build a pool in the yard. When Zhou Sibo retires, he will go fishing and drink tea at home.

……

In short, Zhou Li talked a lot at the wine table, drunk and sleepy.

Zhou Sibo on the opposite side didn't speak, just smiled and looked at him quietly.

Time is like water.

Until the owner of the tea shop couldn't take it anymore, he collected the money and went upstairs to take a nap.

In the end, Zhou Li was also drunk from strong alcohol, and finally fell asleep in a daze.

It wasn't until the next day, when the sky was slightly bright, that I woke up faintly, with a severe headache.

Zhou Li opened his eyes and looked around, only to find that Zhou Sibu's figure had disappeared.

A note was left on the table, saying that the wind was heavy and the snow was rushing, so I went back first, and asked Zhou Li to go home by himself after waking up.

Seeing Zhou Li, he put away the note and wandered back home.

As soon as the door was opened, the whole hall was dressed in mourning and mourning, and Zhou Li was stunned!

What's going on here?
Someone dead at home?
He opened his mouth and shouted: "Mom, what's going on? Is dad back?"

Unexpectedly, his mother was crying so hard that she pulled Zhou Li by the shoulders and made him kneel down towards the coffin in the mourning hall!
The rituals of the week are full of meat and vegetables, just take a look!
What? !

I saw that hanging on the wall above the pitch-black coffin was the portrait of Zhou Sibo!

his dad!

died!

"Mother? This dad... Didn't dad still drink with me last night? Why did he disappear in the blink of an eye?"

With his head buzzing, Zhou Li raised his head and asked.

His mother glared at him, and the big tears couldn't stop flowing, so she opened her mouth and said,

"What nonsense are you talking about? Your father... died early yesterday morning!"

"On this hospital bed, he's been thinking about not seeing you for the last time until he dies!"

Zhou Li was completely taken aback.

 Brothers, please recommend and ask for a monthly pass! !
