In the cold winter, in the village of Qing He, Liu Yan rubbed his hands together while exhaling. "It's so cold. Hu Zi, your information is accurate!"

"Absolutely. Cushion went to see her man in the toilet today, so he should be leaving by now." Yang Xiaohu said with a resolute expression.

"F * ck, if it wasn't for me wanting to see Little Flower for a bit, I wouldn't be frozen like this!" Liu Yan sniffed, not forgetting to wipe the blood off his face again.

While the two of them were talking, a woman in her thirties walked out from the opposite room. Although she was over the age limit, her figure was nothing to worry about. Even wearing a cotton jacket could not hide the arrogance on her chest.

The two of them were selling tofu in the village. The Lady Boss was pretty and called her Xishi. These days, the man who used tofu had been sick, so the family business had also stopped.

"Look, Liu Yan, it's really nice to see tofu being used in the west. I wonder how many village lords have been bewitched to death by this." Yang Xiaohu said, almost drooling.

"Good for nothing. What's so good about the aunties? I like her daughter. If it wasn't for her forbidding us, we would both have fallen in love with each other." Liu Yan sneered and said.

"Little girl, I'll go see your father. You should stay at home and do your homework. It's cold outside, so don't go out." Cushion called into the house and left with a big bundle.

Upon hearing this melodious response, Liu Yan gave a slight smile and sniffed once more. "Hehe, I'm really leaving now. I can see Little Flower now. Huzi, let's go!"

He walked around to the window and knocked twice. "Little Flower!"

The girl in the room was the daughter of the two Xi Shi couple, and she had grown up with her mother. She was definitely the most beautiful girl in the village, and many people wanted to take her home as their daughter-in-law. However, the two Xi Shi couple still wanted the girl to study and work in the city.

The girl was called Zhang Xiaohua, but she was very pretty and was considered to be a beauty in the village. It could be said that every boy in the village would take a good look at her, and Liu Yan was no exception.

As Zhang Xiaohua was writing her homework, she raised her head to look at Liu Yan outside the window, whose nose was covered in cold sweat, and could not help but laugh out loud.

Liu Yan gave an honest smile and drew a heart shape on the window. However, upon seeing this, Zhang Xiaohua immediately pouted. After all, she was a village girl, so she was still a bit more conservative.

"Shameless!"

Although Zhang Xiaohua was somewhat angry, she was still a young girl in the prime of her youth, so she was not as magnanimous. Seeing that Liu Yan was panicking, she covered her mouth and laughed. Then, she got up to open the door.

"Liu Yan, let me enter as well!" Yang Xiaohu hurriedly said.

"Why did you go in?" "You just wait here. What if I get the tofu back?" Liu Yan said.

"What?" "Watch out, big brother. It's so cold." Yang Xiaohu rubbed his hands and said.

"Endure it. For your brother's happiness, you can just be a gatekeeper for a while. You've worked hard!"

With that said, Liu Yan stepped through the door. Before Yang Xiaohu could reply, the door closed.

"Let's drink some cold water." Zhang Xiaohua handed him a cup of hot water. "Heh, Lil 'Hua, nice. I knew your mom left so I came to find you." Liu Yan said.

Zhang Xiaohua shook her head, that's not true. Actually, there were a lot of boys who wanted to get close to her. There were even a few who were from wealthy families in the village, but amongst these people, she was more willing to get along with Liu Yan.

The reason was simple. Those people's motives were too strong. They wanted to touch her body and grab her hand, but Liu Yan was different.

Liu Yan liked Zhang Xiaohua to be known by everyone, but Liu Yan had never gone overboard with his actions. Every time, he would protect Zhang Xiaohua, and the two of them would only talk.

"No, I'm very happy to see you, but..." My father is sick. "

"I know, if your dad isn't sick, I won't be able to see you," Liu Yan casually said, but he immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, "Cough, cough …" Um, what's wrong with our father? "

"Stop blabbering!" Zhang Xiaohua glared at Liu Yan.

"Eh …. You must be joking! What's wrong with you? "

Zhang Xiaohua shook his head with all his might, "I don't know either. A lot of people in the village are suffering from strange diseases, don't you know?"

"I know. Didn't they say that one would go crazy the moment they get sick, throw around, and throw things around?"

"Yes, I suspect that my father is one as well..."

"Ah?" "It can't be?" This came as a huge surprise to him. Recently, a strange illness had occurred in the village, and those who were ill would go crazy, twitch their bodies, and become extremely frenzied.

Zhang Xiaohua frowned slightly, "I am not sure, but my father went to the village's health room in the morning, and my mother did not let me see it. Maybe my mom won't tell me. "

Hearing that, Liu Yan slowly nodded his head, "Damn, this illness …" "It's not inherited, is it?" "No, it's not inherited, is it?" "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Zhang Xiaohua raised his fist and punched towards Liu Yan, "Liu Yan, I'm so worried about this. What are you talking about!"

Liu Yan did not dodge. After all, being hit by Zhang Xiaohua did not hurt at all, and it felt extremely comfortable. He sighed, sat on the brick bed, and said: "Ai, it's a pity that I don't know how to cure your father."

Zhang Xiaohua glanced at him, wanting to say something, but he did not.

Liu Yan had grown up with his grandfather, so he didn't have much of an impression of his parents. He had just heard from the villagers that his mother had run off with the rich.

On the other hand, Liu Yan's grandfather was a Chinese doctor, and his medical skills were not bad. Before he passed away, the villagers didn't go to the county's hospital, and almost all of them were treated at his clinic.

Unfortunately, his grandfather passed away a few years ago, leaving only Liu Yan with no parents. Naturally, the unattended child was looked down by others, and other than Zhang Xiaohua and Yang Xiaohu who was also an orphan, he had no other friends.

It was precisely because of this that Zhang Xiaohua did not continue speaking, as she was afraid of hurting Liu Yan's self-esteem.

"Hur hur, as long as you have the heart." Zhang Xiaohua said.

Liu Yan shrugged his shoulders. "It's useless if you want to. Your mom wouldn't let us have sex either."

Liu Yan's casual words caused Zhang Xiaohua to be slightly taken aback. "Liu Yan, do you know why my mom doesn't want you to come into contact with me?"

"Tsk, who doesn't know? From the start, she looked down on me. Oh, no, no, no one in this village thinks highly of me." As he spoke, a hint of self-mockery appeared on Liu Yan's face.

"Then why do they look down on you?"

"Why? I don't have a father or a mother, "Liu Yan said. His mood had clearly changed." Zhang Xiaohua, what do you mean?

"I don't mean anything. Liu Yan, you're actually the one who doesn't do anything all day. Tell me, how much prestige did Grandpa Liu have in the village?" But after he died, what about you? "I'm not going to study or do anything!"

Upon hearing these words, Liu Yan sucked in a deep breath and fell silent.

It was indeed as Zhang Xiaohua had said, after his grandfather passed away, he lost his last family member, and his life seemed to have lost all support, allowing him to live freely.

Suddenly, he recalled the words his grandfather had told him before he died. He wanted to give him time to clean up the house, clean up his grandfather's remains, and especially pack up those medical books.

Liu Yan slowly shook his head. He thought to himself, I am truly unfilial. I didn't even obey my grandfather's last words …

Liu Yan left after sitting at the West Tofu's house for a while. Normally, the two of them would talk for a few hours before parting reluctantly, but this time, they didn't. Their mood suddenly turned heavy and coupled with Zhang Xiaohua's bad mood, it made him lose a lot of interest.

Liu Yan didn't stay for long with Hu Zi and went back home.

After returning home, Liu Yan collapsed onto the bed. He had never felt such a sensation ever since he was young. It was as if he had been struck by a sudden collision, causing him to be stunned.

Looking at the messy house, he took a deep breath, "It's about time to pack up. It doesn't seem like a place for humans to live anymore. I have to fulfill Grandfather's last wish. "

After he finished speaking, he stood up and started cleaning the room. The tables and chairs were set up, the bowls, chopsticks, beer bottles, instant noodles bags, and countless plastic bags stained with sauce …

After cleaning up, he took out an empty cardboard box from under the bed and began to tidy up the books in the bookcase.

In fact, Liu Yan was actually a descendant of a scholar. His grandfather was a Chinese doctor, and it seemed like the Grand Elder was one as well. Thus, even though his circumstances were mediocre, his family actually had a bookshelf.

However, he had no interest in the book. To be precise, he had no interest in the words. What he was most interested in was being together with Zhang Xiaohua, and then going to sleep.

As a result, when he put away those medical books in the box according to his grandfather's instructions, he was too lazy to even glance at the cover, until he took away the thickest book in the bookcase. He couldn't help but be stunned.

Behind the book, on the back of the bookcase, was written: Little bastard, move the bookshelf away!

Liu Yan was stunned. He recognized this physique. It belonged to his grandfather, and this tone of his... That's true.

"This is …" Grandfather told me? "

At the same time, he moved the bookcase to the side. The wall behind the bookcase was clearly different from the other places.

The rest of the house was covered in white walls, and behind them were red bricks. Moreover, there were a few words written on one of the red bricks.

"Hurry, take it out."

Liu Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. When he saw these words, it was as if he had heard his grandfather's words. He felt an indescribable sense of bitterness, and at the same time, tears fell from his eyes.

As per his instructions, he pulled out the brick. Sure enough, the brick was loose. He put his hand inside and immediately felt for something wrapped in a plastic bag.
