Out of the lion

Chapter 16 The 9-Story Tower

Although the old lady always stays at home, stays at home, and seldom communicates with others, she knows the affairs of the company better than anyone else.

In fact, even if Li Mo didn't say anything, she still knew how the company was doing.Even the fact that Di Xiao from the Peak Blue Lions broke into the board meeting was clear.

She is very satisfied with the current situation of the company. As she said, the company is now showing unprecedented vitality.If Li Mo can perform well in the future, withstand the pressure, and continue to do what he thinks is right, it will definitely make the company better and better.

"Li Mo, you are a gift from God to me, so that I can retire from the company with peace of mind and enjoy my last little time comfortably."

The old lady spoke the truth.

Li Mo's eyes turned red, he couldn't tell whether it was because he was moved, or because he felt sorry for the old lady who was too old and worried about the company's heavy affairs.

The old lady said again: "Old man Xu said, you have already arranged a lion dance team to perform on my birthday?"

Li Mo nodded.

"You also invited the dragon and lion dance?"

Li Mo nodded.

"The old masters who chased the dragon and lion dance, can they still dance? Or has there been a newcomer?"

Li Mo replied: "Newcomer."

"No wonder, I didn't win the championship." The old lady sighed regretfully, "I think back then, the dragon and lion dance was so beautiful, we would rather run for dozens of miles barefoot to watch it perform. How could it be like this at that time?" It’s so convenient, rolling the dirt slope to climb a big tree, hanging like a monkey. Unexpectedly, after only a few decades, it has already fallen into such a state.”

"Sometimes I really feel sorry for these things. If it weren't for the fact that everyone in the company has to feed and support their families, I really want to use all the company's assets to develop them. For me, no matter how much money I have to watch a game The happy lion dance performance is interesting."

The old lady suddenly remembered, "Your family members seem to be lion dancers?"

Li Mo nodded and remained silent.

His dignified expression made the old lady feel a little unusual, and she became concerned with some distress: "Could it be that the lion dance was related to the accident in your family back then?"

Li Mo nodded again.

After a short silence, he said: "Back then, in our town, the Shu family and my family were the most popular lion dance troupe. I don't know who spread the news that the Shu family had a key that could open the nine-story pagoda of the ancestral hall in the town. .”

The nine-story pagoda is wrapped in iron bumps, and inside is airtight and thick spar. It is three meters high and three meters wide. The only door is only as big as a fan.The legend of the nine-story pagoda has been interpreted in people's mouths in various mysterious versions. Some people say that there are priceless treasures hidden in it, and some say that living gods live in it... Attracting many curious people, they use various The method of digging, and even self-made gunpowder.As a result, there were many deaths and injuries, and the nine-story pagoda was not opened at all.

"The Shu family is just across the street from ours. The Shu family was in trouble, and all the family members had accidents. Only one daughter escaped with the key."

"Later, the key came to me. I ran for my life, jumped on the train, and made the decision to go far away. I thought this would stop this matter, but I didn't expect to be found by those who were looking for the key. They snatched the key , pushed me off the train."

When Li Mo woke up, he was already in the hospital, and Mrs. Li stood by her side, begging the doctor with red eyes to give him the best treatment method and the best medicine.

After Li Mo was rescued, he could only sit in a wheelchair. The once youthful and robust boy had been pale all year round, and his body was as weak as a thin sheet of paper.

The old lady actually couldn't bear to hand over the company to him, but he was the most talented businessman she had ever met.It just so happened that he was also willing to fight in the mall. After thinking about it, he finally handed over the company to him.

The old lady asked Li Mo: "Have you seen her?"

She refers to the girl Li Mo risked her life to save.

Li Mo nodded.

The moment Li Mo saw Lin Xiaoxi, he felt indescribably complicated.

When Lin Xiaoxi disappeared from the small town, he never heard from her again.No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find a clue.Unexpectedly, God was kind enough to allow them to meet again.

That night, Lin Xiaoxi flipped through the tarot cards in a daze, talking nonsense to fool people.Li Mo stared at her in the hazy light, full of joy in his heart.

Taking the purse with the keys from her back then was the most correct decision he ever made.She is so beautiful, she should live well in this world.

As for the suffering, it is good that it all falls on him alone.

The old lady asked: "When it's convenient, bring her and show me."

Li Mo said: "Okay."

Although he agreed with his mouth, he didn't have such a plan in his heart.It's not that he is worried about the old lady, but he is worried that those people in the company who are eyeing him will do excessive things to Lin Xiaoxi because of him.

Now he is in a cold place, walking on thin ice, he doesn't want Lin Xiaoxi to suffer together.

Seeing that the old lady looked tired, Li Mo reminded softly, "Grandma, it's time to rest."

The old lady lay down and waved her hand, "Go and do your work."

After Li Mo came out from the old lady's place, he kept thinking about a question: Where is the secret key that was lost back then?Is its clue really hidden in the lion dance team that came to participate?
Jiang Chu pushed Li Mo out of the old lady's room. When there was no one in the corner, Jiang Chuhui reported: "Mr. Li, the Huajin lion dance team suddenly told us that they can't come to participate in the lion dance."

Li Mo frowned slightly.

Jiang Chu said: "Although the Huajin lion dance team is brilliant, but fortunately they are not the champions, and it shouldn't have much impact if they don't come."

But Li Mo said: "Even if the peak blue lion team doesn't come, the Huajin lion dance team must come."

Jiang Chu didn't understand, but he could only arrange according to Li Mo's wishes.

Li Mo is very busy, but no matter how busy he is, when he comes to see the old lady, he will go to the kitchen to make one thing himself - Li's bamboo rice.

In the past, the old lady did it for Li Mo a few times.At that time, the grandparents and grandchildren sat in the yard, surrounded by a bamboo pot of rice in bamboo tubes, and ate deliciously.

Later, Li Mo hired a famous chef to learn how to cook this dish, and even built a small stove for it.

When Li Mo was pushed to the kitchen, the cooks were already waiting at the kitchen door.

Li Mo picked up the fresh bamboo shoots in the bamboo pot and looked at them. The tenderness was just right, and it was very suitable for making this characteristic Hainan delicacy.

Then choose the ingredients, high-quality mountain rice that has been soaked, and fresh lean meat.

The old lady likes to eat mushrooms, so Li Mo asked a master chef to keep the freshest mushrooms.

Two hours later, two small bamboo tubes just out of the pot were placed in a small drawer separated by white gauze, and delivered to the old lady's room.

The old lady was lying on a rocking chair, and the servant next to her gently kneaded her shoulders.As soon as the rice in bamboo tubes was delivered, she smelled the aroma, and quickly asked the servant to help her get up from the chair, and tremblingly walked to the table.

"I knew it. Once that kid comes, I will be lucky."

The servant opened the small drawer and removed the white gauze, revealing two bamboo tubes that were steaming.

The old lady said like a child, "Why is it so little?"

A bamboo tube five or six inches long can only hold a mouthful of bamboo rice.The old lady just wanted to eat her fill, but she didn't expect to send only two pieces, and each section was so short.

The servant said: "Mr. Mo told me that only so much can be given. If there are too many, your old body will not be able to bear it."

The old lady felt strange, "I saw a lot of fresh bamboo tubes in the kitchen this morning in front of the window. What the hell is that kid Li Mo doing? He made so many, but he only brought me two."

"Could it be that he wants to give someone away?"

The old lady muttered to herself: "It's strange, he never gets close to anyone. For so many years, he doesn't even have a friend except for a few words with me. Why is he suddenly going to give a gift?" ?”

The old lady looked at the servant, who would dare to inquire about the master's affairs, and shook her head.

"Is it for that girl?"

There was light in the old man's eyes, he picked up his phone and called Jiang Chu.

The servant handed the rice in the bamboo tube with the spoon to the old man, but the old man didn't even look at it, and couldn't hold back his excitement and said, "Eating is not as important as grandson's wife?"

"Granddaughter-in-law?" The servant couldn't understand what the old lady was saying, seeing the old lady waving at her to let her go down first, she respectfully exited the room.

The moment the door closed, the phone was connected.
