Chapter 3
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Wei Xiaomo only felt that an invisible gaze from behind made her freeze, it was terrifying.

"Yes, that is the eldest daughter of Hongyi's family."

The old man in black was thoughtful.

Wei Xiaomo took out the ring from his pants and ran to the back room, where Liu Shulan was changing Xiao Mao's diaper.

"Mom, give me a rope."

After Liu Shulan finished her work, she turned her head and found that Xiaomo had been holding the ring on her hand since she fell into the water yesterday, "Where did you get it?"

"I picked it up in the water. It should be a glass ring. It's worthless. Mom, just give me a rope and I'll hang it around my neck, okay?"

Liu Shulan was stunned for a moment, the child felt changed, not as messy as before, and then she shook her head thinking about something, the child is not the same every day, so she went to the bedroom to find a red silk ribbon and hung it up for her.

"Mom, you're so kind." Wei Xiaomo put her arms around Liu Shulan's neck and said sweetly.

At this moment, Wei Xiaomo's eyes could not hide the sadness. She never said these words to her mother in the previous life. After moving from this small village to the town, the family's life was not going well, and she was not going well. Meeting people is like gunpowder, she must cherish it in this life.

In the early morning of the second day, the white-haired old man came to Wei Xiaomo's house. Wei Hongyi greeted her old man, but saw the old man go straight to the bedroom, standing by the bed and staring at Xiao Mo who was still sleeping. I watched it for a long time.

Wei Xiaomo opened his eyes, thinking for a moment that his eyes were blurred, rubbed his eyes, smiled and called grandma sweetly.This old man is the one who fed the black water to Xiao Mo before, and she is also Xiao Mo's grandmother, Ji Yuerong.

Ji Yuerong was secretly startled. Although this child was brought up by herself, she had never looked at her carefully. After a closer look, she was actually a phoenix among men. She was so calm in the face of panic, how young she was. age.When I was a child, I took her with me and did those things by myself in the middle of the night. The child felt it but never cried or made trouble. It's just that there are many things that I can't say clearly, so she never mentioned it. I don't know why today. A man asked to see her by name, but he didn't know what was going on.The one from the Wei family hadn't seen her since she married into the Wei family, but yesterday she made an exception and came out for a while, which made her feel strange, this morning, before dawn, that person wanted someone to pass on the news He wanted to see Hongyi's daughter, and she had to take her there in person.

"Hurry up and get up, grandma will take you to a place." Ji Yuerong had a rare smile on his lips.

"Mom, breakfast is ready, why don't you go have some with Xiaomo before you go." Liu Shulan was a little afraid of this mother-in-law, although she didn't pick any thorns, but every time she stood here, she felt oppressed.

"No need, Xiaomo won't come back for lunch, I will take her with me."

"Yes."

Liu Shulan never understood what her mother-in-law was thinking, and always did something unexpected.

"Mother is watching, it's okay, let's pack up and go to work in the field." Wei Hongyi patted his wife on the shoulder from the side.

Wei Xiaomo took Ji Yuerong's hand and walked silently, but the old man's hand was only skinny, and it hurt to squeeze it tightly.A few years ago, Wei Xiaomo's parents were doing some small business in other places, so they left Xiaomo with her mother-in-law. The most profound memory in Xiaomo's memory is the night spent at grandma's house.Because grandma doesn't know who she is talking to at night, so she sits next to her and looks at the opposite side, babbling. At first she was a little curious, but after a long time she felt scared. Gradually, she could see that the person was when she was 4 years old. Grandpa who died at that time.

Only when I grew up did I realize that people say that children who have not passed the Tongguan can see things that ordinary people cannot see.

Passing through a forest behind the village, there is an earth tile house in front of you. Although it has a long history, it is clean and tidy.

Wei Xiaomo and grandma just stood at the door, but they heard a voice from inside, "Come in."

Looking in from the door, I felt panicked in the dark, Wei Xiaomo tightly grasped the hand, Ji Yuerong stretched out his hand to caress it, it really was still a child.

After entering the house, I feel that the view is wide, and the sun is blowing in my face, warm but not drying people.There are various plants, flowers and fruit trees in the whole yard, and there is a lotus pond in the middle of the yard. All this makes Wei Xiaomo very excited. It is like a paradise. You know, in her previous life, she wanted to grow old slowly with her beloved in such a place.

The old man sat on a stone bench in the yard, looking straight at the two of them.

"Is it from the third family?"

"Yes." Ji Yuerong lowered her head slightly.

"You are also very affectionate, but too long time is not good for your health, you can break it if you can." The old man looked at Xiaomo who ran to pick lotus in the pond in front of him and said lightly.

Ji Yuerong's body shook, and she lowered her slightly trembling eyebrows, "Yes."

"Put the child here, and I'll have someone notify you to pick it up."

"Okay, then I'll go out first."

The old man waved his hand, signaling to back down.

Although Wei Xiaomo is nearly 30 years old, he has always had a problem, that is, he can't let go of the innocence of a child, and gets carried away whenever there is something interesting and novel.

"What's your name?" The old man walked to the lotus pond, squinting his eyes.

Wei Xiaomo didn't feel unfamiliar, he stretched out his hand to hook the lotus, and said with a smile, "Wei Xiaomo."

The old man calculated with his fingers, frowned, calculated again and again, frowned, and then seemed to be a little disbelieving that this girl's fate could not be seen through by himself, which was the first time in these years.It seems that this is really the only chance for the Wei family. Thinking of this, the old man smiled slightly, but seeing his foot move, the shoe fell into the lotus pond, and he turned his face sideways and said unceremoniously to Xiaomo: "Little girl, help me!" I picked up the shoes."

Hearing this, Wei Xiaomo turned around, put all the lotus pods on the ground, and then rolled up her sleeves and lay down by the river. Enough, enough, but couldn't reach it. For a split second, she didn't know what the old man did. Xiaomo's whole body He moved forward and fell into the lotus pond. After drinking two sips of water, he stood up and threw the old man's shoes ashore.

Hmph, it must be the evil intentions of this old ghost, how could he fall down when he was lying on his stomach.

Seeing her bulging cheeks, the old man didn't get angry with her, and said, "Put the shoes on for me."

When Wei Xiaomo heard it, what, the shoes are right next to your feet, you are so big, you don't even know how to wear them.But after thinking about it, this old guy must have something strange, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen just now, so it's better not to make a fool of himself.So, Wei Xiaomo crawled out of the lotus pond, picked up the shoe again, and lifted the old man's feet. The old man's feet seemed to have taken root on the ground, but he couldn't lift them up.

The old man looked at her face flushed from holding back, but the child had patience and perseverance.
