Siheyuan: Qin Huai Ru, Dong Xu Qing You

When Lou Xiao'e was about to collapse, the deaf old lady asked Sha Zhu to stop outside a small courtyard.

"Xiao'e, go knock on the door, three long and two short."

While the deaf old lady was speaking, she was looking around vigilantly.

Only after she was sure that there was no one around did she explain this to Lou Xiao'e.

"Old lady, this scene is like a secret agent meeting, isn't it?"

Sha Zhu had been holding it in all the way, but now he finally couldn't help but speak.

The deaf old lady hates hearing the word "spy" the most.

She hit Shazhu's head hard.

"Silly Zhu, I've already told you not to gossip on the road, so just pretend to be dumb now!"

"Yes, yes, old lady, we are already here, so it's okay to have some fun."

Sha Zhu laughed and tried to smooth things over.

"Who said it's okay? From now on, shut up!"

The deaf old lady scolded sternly.

Yang Lei hid on the roof behind them and eavesdropped, secretly surprised.

The old lady's tone sounded like someone who was used to giving orders.

"This old deaf man must be up to something!"

Yang Lei has already concluded that the deaf old lady is no ordinary person.

Last time, we asked the food stamp dealer to report her as a spy to the Public Security Bureau, but the police searched her house but found nothing.

It seems that this old woman is really cunning.

Perhaps we can find some clues to her true identity here.

Yang Lei made up his mind to get to the bottom of her matter.

He didn't believe that the deaf old lady was really a lonely old widower. Now her five-guarantee household qualification had been revoked, and her house had been burned down by him, making it uninhabitable.

But the deaf old lady just refused to leave the courtyard in Nanluoguxiang. On the surface, it seemed that she had nowhere to go, but in fact, the more you think about it, the more complicated your thoughts seem.

"Madam, this seems to be some kind of connection signal."

Lou Xiao'e was only thinking about knocking on the door quickly and delivering the cloth so that she could go home early.

But she had no idea that this was like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth, seeking her own death.

Yang Lei shook his head: Lou Xiao'e was obviously sold out and she was still helping to count the money.

"coming."

Lou Xiao'e obediently followed the deaf old lady's instructions and knocked on the door three times, long and two times, short.

It took a full two minutes before someone responded.

The man's voice was so hoarse that you couldn't hear what he was saying unless you listened carefully.

The deaf old lady stared at the open door with a cold and ruthless look in her eyes.

But if you look closely, you can see that the little finger of her right hand is trembling slightly.

It seemed that there must be something in this yard that was of vital importance to her.

"Mrs!"

The person who opened the door was a pale old man. When he saw the deaf old lady on Sha Zhu's back, he was obviously stunned for a moment and squeezed out the word "Madam" from his throat.

These two titles don't sound like calling an old lady, but more like special titles for ladies in the old society.

Yang Lei was also surprised.

"Master Jin, are you home? I bought a few feet of cloth and would like you to make me a dress."

The deaf old lady was carried on Sha Zhu's back, and Lou Xiao'e was also standing in front of Sha Zhu.

Neither of them noticed that the deaf old woman winked at the old man who opened the door.

Yang Lei could only see the back of the deaf old lady's head.

So when the deaf old lady winked at the old man, Yang Lei couldn't see it.

However, Yang Lei could see that the old man was obviously stunned for a moment.

After a moment of hesitation, the old man quickly reacted.

"Oh, old lady, you haven't been here for a long time.

Please come in."

The old man got into the role quite quickly, but the subtle changes on his face did not escape Yang Lei's eyes.

"This old deaf guy can really act. If he were to become an actor with such acting skills, he would probably win an Oscar."

Yang Lei was grinning, now it was going to be fun.

It seems that Lou Xiao'e is really a blessed person.

Yang Lei accidentally discovered the deaf old lady's big secret.

"Ma'am, I have to take my leave."

Lou Xiao'e was about to hand the cloth in her hand to Qinghua Lian.

The deaf old lady coughed lightly and was about to reach out to take the cloth.

Interrupted by the cough, Qinghualian quickly retracted his hand.

"Xiao'e, you've run so far. It doesn't matter if you're young, but as an old lady, I need to take a breath and drink some hot tea, okay?"

The deaf old lady began to blame Lou Xiaoe.

Lou Xiao'e is kind-hearted.

It’s also very pleasant to chat with the deaf old lady.

The deaf old lady was so old that even though Sha Zhu carried her on his back for most of the day without drinking a drop of water or resting, she was indeed tired.

Lou Xiao'e listened to the deaf old lady again.

"Old lady, please come in and sit down.

We have freshly brewed hot tea and some fruit at home."

Qinghualian greeted with a smile.

Sha Zhu carried the deaf old lady on his back, and Lou Xiao'e followed him into the yard.

Qinghualian stuck his head out and quickly looked around. After confirming that no one was paying attention to this side, he quickly closed the door and bolted it.

Yang Lei was neither anxious nor impatient. He slowly stood up from the roof.

The situation in the courtyard opposite is in full view.

The yard is very tidy.

It should be a courtyard with three entrances.

Qinghua Lian bolted the door, walked in front to lead the way, and took the deaf old lady, Sha Zhu and Lou Xiao'e into the second room.

There is also a large locust tree with lush branches and leaves in the courtyard, blocking Yang Lei's view.

But this does not pose a problem for Yang Lei.

He used his lightness skills to jump up from the roof and stood firmly on the thinnest branch of the big locust tree, as stable as Mount Tai.

"Madam, I'll just sit in this yard for a while."

"Xiao'e, what's the point of sitting in the yard? Come in and have a cup of hot tea. We're leaving now."

The deaf old lady glanced at Lou Xiao'e, her tone still containing a hint of command.

Chapter 37 Madam, I will listen to you.

"Lou Xiao'e, it's definitely right to listen to the old lady."

Sha Zhu was bored and said to Lou Xiao'e with a grin.

Lou Xiao'e had no relationship with Sha Zhu and didn't want to pay attention to him, so she turned and went into the house.

At this time, Qinghualian came in with a tray.

"Ma'am, please have some tea.

Since you are older, I gave you black dates; for this man I gave green dates; and for this woman I gave red dates."

Qinghua Lian was very attentive, and the dates in each person's teacup were of different colors.

The deaf old lady's cup contained black dates, Sha Zhu's contained green dates, and Lou Xiao'e's contained red dates.

This surprised Lou Xiaoe a little.

“Why do everyone give different dates?”

Sha Zhu asked for Lou Xiaoe.

The deaf old lady looked at Sha Zhu and said nothing.

The man with the blue-and-white face also looked at the deaf old lady.

The deaf old lady nodded to the man with the blue and white face.

Qinghualian then smiled and explained: "The old lady is old, and black dates can replenish her physical strength.

This young man can relieve his internal heat by eating green dates."

"As for this lesbian..."

Qinghualian paused for a moment, then continued, "Eating red dates can nourish your skin, making it fairer and more beautiful."

Lou Xiao'e was a little skeptical. Could a date have such an effect?

Well, if you say eating a few red dates every day might be barely acceptable, but can just relying on this one date make your skin tender, white and rosy?

How is this possible!

But Lou Xiao'e is not a competitive person, and she is indeed thirsty.

She picked up the teacup and took a sip. Wow, this tea is so fragrant.

Lou Xiao'e is a person who understands tea and loves to drink it. After drinking this cup, her eyes immediately lit up: "Is this Longjing before the rain? It's really good tea."

When Qinghualian heard this, he immediately gave a thumbs-up: "This female comrade is really an expert."

"Okay, okay, Master Jin, take me inside to measure the dimensions.

Silly Zhu, come and carry me over."

The deaf old lady glared at Sha Zhu, meaning for him to carry her out.

"Silly Zhu, be polite to Xiao'e later."

After leaving the house, Qinghualian closed the door.

Lou Xiao'e also wanted to follow the deaf old lady, but as soon as she stood up, her legs were as weak as noodles and she couldn't stand at all.

"Madam, madam!"

Lou Xiao'e was sitting in a chair, panicked, and wanted to call out to the deaf old lady, but her voice was as small as a cat's meow.

She didn't even have the strength to scream.

"Old lady, what's this about?"

Sha Zhu was completely confused.
