Chapter 222 Leading the Way
In order to calm things down, the man with tattoos took out a stack of money and compensated the middle-aged woman.

Then he started the car and drove away.

Only the old lady was left there, putting the money in her pocket and watching the car go away.

He muttered a few words and then picked up the scattered vegetables on the ground.

I checked the electric bike and it didn't seem to have suffered too much damage.

The electric car can still start, but there are some minor scratches.

Seeing this scene, the middle-aged woman seemed relieved.

Touching the bulging bag in my pocket, I didn’t know what to feel for a moment.

Only then did the aunt feel the burning pain in her body and looked down at her arm.

I found that the collision had caused bleeding, and now it was even more painful.

The middle-aged woman cursed inwardly and then got on her electric bike.

Soon I arrived at a Chinese medicine clinic on the side of the road and pushed the door open and walked in.

"Hey, come here..."

At this time, there was an old man sitting in the Chinese medicine clinic, and he seemed to know the middle-aged lady.

After a polite greeting, he turned around and prepared to get the medicine as if he was familiar with the place.

"Xiao Tian's medicine has been taken again?"

As the old man spoke, he took out a medicine bag and placed it on the counter.

Then I saw the scars on the middle-aged woman's body.

The old man was stunned for a moment, then he stood up and asked:
"Hey, what are you doing, big sister?"

When the middle-aged lady mentioned this, she became furious.

"Hey, don't mention it. I just met a blind guy on the road..."

She complained to the old man and explained the whole story clearly.

Of course, in the end, the money that the other party paid as compensation was hidden.

The old man heard the old lady's story and agreed:

"Alas, people are restless nowadays. We can't just ignore the anxiety of young people."

As he spoke, he walked closer and took a closer look at the injury on the old lady's hand.

"Come, let me show you first..."

After cleaning the wound, the old man saw the extent of the injury and said:

"Yeah, it's just a dislocation, and there are some skin injuries, nothing serious."

As the old man spoke, he reached out and held the old lady's arm.

There was a click, and before the old lady could react, her arm had already healed.

I tried to move a few times and found that everything was normal, except that the skin wound was still a little painful.

The old lady smiled immediately and praised repeatedly: "Oh, brother, you are really good at medicine."

"If we go to the hospital, it won't cost three to five hundred dollars, right?"

The old man heard this and waved his hand at the old lady, saying, "It's just a matter of extending your hand. Why are you talking about money?"

Then, the old man seemed to have thought of something, and sighed:
"I know it's not easy for you neighbors to help Xiaotian. If you have nothing else, go back early."

As the old man finished speaking, the old lady didn't say any more polite words.

However, before leaving, he skillfully picked up the Chinese medicine on the counter.

That was the medicine Xiaotian’s grandfather needed to take. The old lady paid the bill and left.

……

On the other side, Xiaotian’s grandmother was preparing to decoct medicine.

Despite her age, she was still able to do some things.

But just as I was about to boil the medicine, I found that there was no medicine left at home.

So Xiaotian’s grandmother gave her husband some instructions, put on her coat and walked out of the room.

I plan to go to the Chinese medicine clinic that I usually go to.

When Xiaotian's grandmother walked down the stairs and came to the door of the unit.

But I saw a man in a jacket, mumbling that he was going upstairs.

"Damn...if there weren't so many people just now..."

"Don't let me see her next time, or I'll make her vomit out everything she ate!"

A tattoo was visible on the man's vaguely exposed wrist.

Seeing this, Xiaotian’s grandmother realized that this man might be difficult to deal with.

So he dodged deliberately and moved sideways towards the other party.

Just as the two passed each other, Xiaotian's grandmother continued to walk downstairs.

Behind me, I heard the man's sudden voice:

"Wait a minute."

When Xiaotian’s grandmother heard the other party suddenly calling her, she was stunned.

It seemed like my heart was beating wildly, but I quickly calmed down.

He patted his chest and murmured, "Oh, boy... you really scared me."

"I have a heart disease, and you almost frightened me to death."

After hearing what Xiaotian’s grandmother said, the tattooed man felt like he was being scammed.

At this moment, he was furious again, but he suppressed his anger and asked:
"No, I just want to ask, is this unit three?"

"Yes, you're not wrong."

Xiaotian’s grandmother didn’t think much about it and responded to the other party’s question.

However, as soon as she finished her words, the tattooed man turned and went upstairs.

There was no intention of paying any more attention to her.

Seeing this scene, Xiaotian’s grandmother was stunned and wanted to say something to him.

But he quickly put his hand down and just muttered:
"Ah... the young people nowadays."

After saying that, she ignored him and went downstairs on her own.

However, Xiaotian's grandmother would never have thought that the tattooed man would go up the stairs.

But he followed the address and went straight to Xiaotian's house.

After confirming the house number, the tattooed man glanced at the stove in the hallway.

There was an earthenware pot for boiling Chinese medicine on the stove, and he reached out and touched it.

I found that the edge of the earthenware jar was still hot, obviously, someone had just used it.

Seeing this scene, a grim smile appeared on the tattooed man's face.

He stepped forward and knocked on the security door, shouting into the door in a rough voice:
"Li Tao! Open the door!"

"Damn... don't think I don't know you're at home. The stove at the door is still hot!"

"Bang bang bang!"

As the tattooed man knocked on the door, only Xiaotian's demented grandfather was left in the room.

My grandfather was lying on the bed half asleep. He was startled when he heard the noise outside the door.

He sat up in bed like a child who had just been awakened.

At this time, there was a constant knock on the door, and the person taking the photo was in a state of confusion.

And as the tattooed man shouted, that familiar name fell into Xiaotian’s grandfather’s ears.

"Li... Tao?"

As there was a noise outside the door, Xiaotian's grandfather kept muttering this name.

I just feel that this name is particularly familiar, as if I have called it countless times before.

As there was a knock on the door outside, a hint of clarity flashed across Xiaotian's grandfather's eyes.

It's like a person trapped in a fog, struggling to push away a little bit of the mist.

I regained some consciousness briefly and remembered some things from the past.

"Yeah...Xiao Tao, where's Xiao Tao?"

Xiaotian's grandfather muttered to himself and glanced around the simple house.

I didn't see anyone, but I could hear the knocking on the door becoming more and more intense.

"Are you here to see Xiao Tao?"

Xiaotian's grandfather muttered something, and then walked straight out the door. In a hurry, he didn't even wear slippers.

"Here it comes, stop knocking..."

As Xiaotian's grandfather spoke, he slowly opened the closed door.

As the security door opened, the tattooed man outside pushed the door open.

Under the huge force, Xiaotian’s grandfather was fortunately not standing forward.

But his body was still shaken by this force.

With the door wide open, the tattooed man glanced into the room.

I found that the person who came to open the door was a gray-haired old man, and I couldn't help but say:

"Hey? Old man?"

Then, the tattooed man seemed to have guessed the other person's identity and continued to confirm:

"Are you Li Tao's father?"

Xiaotian’s grandfather naturally did not deny it. He nodded and looked at the tattooed man in confusion:
"What do you want from Xiao Tao?"

After hearing what the other party said, the tattooed man seemed to have thought of something.

His expression was stunned.

He took another look at the old man in front of him and couldn't help but be shocked.

"Hey... this is really strange. Isn't it said that Li Tao's father is an idiot?"

"But now you don't look stupid, do you?"

Of course, this thought just flashed through his mind, and the tattooed man continued to ask:
"Old man, where is your son?"

"He bought our stuff but didn't pay for it, so now we're here to settle the score with him."

After hearing what the tattooed man said, Xiaotian's grandfather finally understood the other party's intention.

But his current state is still confused, and he only recalled some memories from long ago.

Even in my memory, my own children are still in school.

I don’t know how I got into trouble with this person in society.

"How much money does he... owe you?"

The tattooed man tilted his head back, didn't say anything, just raised his hand and gestured.

When Xiaotian’s grandfather saw the other party’s extended finger, he was suddenly shocked.

Like a child who has done something wrong, he was at a loss, pinching the corner of his clothes and said:
"This... there are so many. I don't know where Xiao Tao has gone."

Xiaotian's grandfather said this while trying hard to recall it in his mind.

But the memory in his mind was so fragmented that he couldn't even remember how old his son was.

As some images flashed through my mind.

Xiaotian’s grandfather couldn’t even remember who the woman was who always stood next to his son.

But he could remember that he did have a grandson, and the figures of Xiaotian and Li Tao in his mind were almost the same.

The more he thought about it, the more his head started to swell. Xiaotian’s grandfather was a little overwhelmed.

I looked back at the furniture in the room and there was nothing valuable at all.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and said timidly to the tattooed man in front of him:
"I don't know how to compensate you... How about you be flexible? We'll pay you back when we have enough money..."

"Humph……"

Before Xiao Tianye could finish his words, the tattooed man snorted coldly.

The mood became noticeably impatient.

He stepped forward and pushed Xiaotian's grandfather, saying with a fierce expression:
"Don't try to play tricks on me, you old bastard!"

Xiaotian’s grandfather was obviously frightened by the other party’s actions and staggered.

I almost fell on my butt.

Seeing this, the tattooed man continued to insist and said:

"It's okay if your family really has no money... Doesn't Li Tao have a son who is in elementary school?"

"Well, let me give you a tip."

The tattooed man said with an aggressive smile on his face:
"Hand over your grandson, and we can write off this account!"

"Ah?" Xiaotian's grandfather immediately showed a panicked look on his face when he heard the voice.

He waved hastily at the tattooed man, but saw that the other party didn't seem to be joking.

Xiaotian’s grandfather quickly added:
"Young man, it is only natural to pay back your debts. Just name an amount and we will pay it back slowly."

"Don't go down the path of breaking the law..."

When the tattooed man heard Xiaotian’s grandfather say this, he was stunned.

He seemed to be almost laughing out of anger, and pointed at the other person's nose with an interested look and said:

"Hey? You old man, aren't you stupid? Why are you still so unreasonable?"

Then, the tattooed man's eyes became fierce and he spoke word by word:

"I'm going to make this clear today. Either you find your son and pay him back, or I'll take your grandson away. There's no point saying anything else!"

Seeing the tattooed man’s tough attitude, Xiaotian’s grandfather stood there for a long time.

He seemed to be thinking hard about something, and finally, his eyes looked off into the distance.

He sighed deeply and said to the tattooed man in front of him:

"In that case, I'll take you to find Xiao Tao..."

"Oh?" Hearing the old man's words, the tattooed man showed an interested expression.

"So you knew where he was? Then you can ask him to pay us back."

"But I warn you, don't try to play tricks on me. I know where you live. Do you understand?"

Xiaotian’s grandfather nodded and prepared to lead the way for him.

Before leaving, he did not forget to close the door and took a serious look at the simple house.

As if saying goodbye.

……

On the other side, on the way to the Chinese medicine clinic.

The neighbor lady who was riding an electric bike saw Xiaotian’s grandmother not far away.

She hurried over and asked curiously:
"Aunt Zhao, why did you run out?"

Xiaotian's grandmother pointed in the direction of the Chinese medicine clinic and responded:

"My old man's medicine is gone. I'll go get some."

Upon hearing this, the neighbor lady hurriedly continued in a concerned tone:
"Oh, you have a heart problem, you know it yourself."

"You have to be more careful in your daily life. If you don't have anything to do, don't go out and wander around."

As she spoke, she patted the medicine in the basket, indicating that she had helped take it.

"Oh, look... I'm bothering you again. This is so embarrassing."

As the two were talking, a black car suddenly drove out of the alley.

Especially when she saw the figure in the driver's seat, the middle-aged lady was stunned.

"Hiss...what about him?"

Obviously, the neighbor lady recognized the tattooed man in the car.

Then think about the money in your pocket.

Wasn’t it possible that the other party had found his home and wanted to take the money back?
Thinking of this, the neighbor lady hurriedly pulled Xiaotian’s grandmother to hide aside.

Only after she saw the black car drive away did the neighbor lady breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Xiaotian's grandmother, who was being pulled into hiding, asked curiously:

"How... do you know him?"

"Who knows? It's better to have less trouble than more."

The neighbor lady responded, but she felt something was wrong.

He looked at the black car speeding away and murmured:

"But there seemed to be someone sitting in the back seat just now? Although I didn't see his appearance clearly..."

"I remember when he hit me just now, it seemed like he was the only one in the car?"
