"Grandma, don't be angry. I'm just borrowing two books and I'll return them after a while." Chen Dasheng also came back. This old lady has a weird temper, so she had to be pleasant.

"Borrow books?"

The old lady stared at Chen Dasheng with her eyes full of whites, which made Chen Dasheng a little nervous, "If you don't get my permission, that's stealing."

"Grandma, it's just two books, don't speak so harshly!" Shen Mao looked at Chen Dasheng apologetically, and immediately advised the old lady.

This old lady's temper is really elusive, Chen Dasheng felt a little embarrassed, those two books must be good things, he was really reluctant to ask him to return them, but if he didn't take them out, he would You have to bear the reputation of being a thief. It is someone else's property. If the old lady refuses to give it to herself, can she take it away by force?

"What's ugly? You stole the keys to the phone without the permission of the mother, and even took outsiders to the attic. Are you going to piss grandma to death?" the old lady said angrily to Shen Mao. Shen Mao was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak anymore.

"Grandma, don't blame the kitten. I asked him to take me up there. If he doesn't want to, I won't take this book with me!" I didn't expect to be blocked by the old lady at the critical moment. Judging from the situation, maybe we have to wait for a chance in the future, Chen Dasheng walked towards the old lady helplessly, and handed the two ancient books in his hand to the old lady.

The old lady took the ancient book, and with her haggard hands, groped carefully on the cover, as if to confirm the authenticity, and the expression on her face showed no joy.

Chen Dasheng looked at Shen Mao helplessly, then turned to the old lady and said, "Then, grandma, I'll go first and come to see you later."

"Wait!"

Chen Dasheng had just walked a few steps, but was stopped by the old lady again, turned around to see, the old lady was holding the two books in one hand, and holding a cane in the other hand, walking towards Chen Dasheng staggeringly.

"Is there anything else to do, Grandma?" Chen Dasheng asked suspiciously.

Shen Mao was also speechless, this grandma who was a little demented and had a weird temper, once her temper came up, even he would have nothing to do with her.

"Do you want these two books?" The old lady raised the two books in her hand and said to Chen Dasheng.

Chen Dasheng was taken aback, and said immediately, "I really want to borrow it to take a look, but since grandma doesn't want to give it to me, I don't dare to force it."

"Can you understand what is written on it?" the old lady asked.

"I haven't read it yet, how do I know if I can understand it!" Chen Dasheng shook his head, wondering what his wife meant by asking that.

Hearing this, the old lady seemed to be hesitating, and after a while, she said to Chen Dasheng, "It's not impossible if you want these two books, as long as you can do two things, I will give them to you !"

"Huh?" Chen Dasheng was taken aback when he heard the words, and seemed to see a glimmer of hope, "What's the matter? Grandma, please tell me."

Hearing this, the old lady stomped the crutch in her hand on the ground, then turned around and pointed at the tip of the crutch, and said, "This old house, left by Little Mao'er's great-grandfather, can be regarded as the old house of our Shen family. , I have been living here since I married into the Shen family at the age of 17. I have given birth to seven sons, all of whom died in this house. The father of the little cat is the youngest one, and he still has not escaped the catastrophe. I died before I was thirty. If it wasn’t for the kitten, I would have followed. After the new year, I will be eighty. I have lived in this old house for decades, and I am reluctant to leave. I want you to do it. The first thing I do is to help me keep this old house and prevent it from being demolished."

After finishing speaking, the old lady turned to Chen Dasheng and tilted her ear, wanting to hear what Chen Dasheng would answer.

Chen Dasheng thought for a while and asked, "Grandma, this house has been broken down like this for a long time, why don't you want to change to a new house? The city is rebuilt, and the house will be rebuilt in the future. Not only will the city be beautiful, but it will also be comfortable to live in." , to everyone's benefit."

"Huh!" The old lady snorted directly, and said angrily, "What do you know, the kitten's parents, uncles and aunts all died in this house, if this house is demolished, they will become lonely souls Is it a wild ghost?"

When Chen Dasheng heard this, not only a trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but this old woman was obviously poisoned by feudal superstition!

"Can you do it? If you can't, get out." The old lady said to Chen Dasheng with a very unkind expression.

The muscles on Chen Dasheng's face trembled slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said to the old lady, "Grandma, if you really don't want to move, I can help you try, but I still have to say, this house is almost dangerous Now, you are always at home alone, and your eyesight is not good, so if you stumble, it will be troublesome."

"I'm blind, but I'm not blind. My heart is open. Don't worry about it. Starting tomorrow, I don't want those bastards to come to my door again and ask me to agree to relocate." The old lady said.

"Don't worry, I promise they won't come again."

Chen Dasheng felt a little helpless, demolition and reconstruction, citizens can get out of dilapidated houses, live in comfortable high-rise buildings, and get a sum of money, it can be said that it is beneficial to both the city and the citizens.

It's just that the old lady has a weird temper, and Chen Dasheng is not good at confronting her, and he really wants the two ancient books in the old lady's hands. They are inner strength exercises that specialize in inner strength. They are very precious secret books that must not be missed. Now that the old lady has offered a condition, if it can be done, I will definitely help her do it.

Based on Chen Dasheng's relationship, I believe it is only a matter of one sentence to suspend the demolition. This old lady is almost 80 years old, and it seems that she will not live for many years. The same is true for demolition after she dies.

After hearing this, the old lady finally nodded, "You must do what you say, and if you can't do it, I won't force you."

"Grandma, don't worry, since I agreed, I will definitely do it for you." Chen Dasheng tried his best to speak softly, so as not to make the old lady angry again, "Grandma, I don't know what else is there?"

"You finish the first thing I said first, and then talk about it." The old lady said.

Chen Dasheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "This matter is simple, and I can handle it for you right away."

Speaking of which, Chen Dasheng dug out the personal number of Governor Zhang Zhongwei from his mobile phone, went outside and made a brief phone call. Originally, he reflexively wanted to leave the matter to Liu Hao, but after thinking about it, Liu Hao recently He was grounded, and if he came forward in person, maybe he would attract more attention.

Not long after, Chen Dasheng finished the phone call, walked into the house again, and smiled at the old lady, "Grandma, the matter is settled, you can live here with peace of mind, and no one will bother you in the future."

"Just listen to your one-sided words, and I won't just believe you." The old lady shook her head, "This first thing, I will write it down for you for now, and I will read it later."

Chen Dasheng nodded slightly, believing that after the phone call he had just made, Zhang Zhongwei should have started to act, and those people had the final say on where to dismantle and where not to dismantle. Starting from the root, this problem is easy to solve, but there are some I'm sorry for the surrounding residents, who have been looking forward to the demolition for so long, and now it's finally here, but it died again.

For this, Chen Dasheng could only say sorry in his heart, he just lacks a master who specializes in inner strength, and he has to find a way to get her to hand over the "Wu Qi Chao Yuan Jue" that the old lady is holding in her hand. Own.

"Grandma, can you talk about the second thing now?" Chen Dasheng asked the old lady.

Although the old lady was blind, she was not deaf. She knew that the person Chen Dasheng called must be an important person, and the demolition would most likely be successful.

"Look in the yard!" After hearing Chen Dasheng's question, the old lady turned around and pointed to the yard with her walking stick.

Chen Dasheng turned his head and looked into the yard. There were several trees and a dog, and he couldn't help being a little puzzled, "Grandma, what do you want me to see?"

The old lady walked out supported by Shen Mao, "Did you see that iron rod?"

"Iron rod?"

Chen Dasheng searched carefully, and finally saw a blackened iron stake not far from the jujube tree where the dog was tied.

The iron stake was inserted between the gaps between the bluestone floor tiles. Chen Dasheng walked over and saw that the iron stake was only half a meter long. His own wrist was thick and thin, and it looked more like an iron rod. He flicked it with his fingers. , with a bang. (To be continued.)
