I have a book of salvation

Chapter 53 People and ghosts have different paths, drinking at the same table at night

Yu Chen has not yet mastered the method of refining Qi, and cannot give the paper man or horse magical powers, so although the paper man looks lifelike, it is still a fragile thing combined with dozens of bamboo strips and yellow paper.

It would be the same even if Zhou Sibu's ghost took possession of him.

So on weekdays, the journey from Qingfengling in Wei River to the county seat only takes an hour, but Zhou Sibo actually walked for more than two hours.

Under the wind and snow, Yu Chen did not dare to carry him and run away, otherwise the paper man would fall apart before he reached the county seat due to heavy wind and snow.

When Zhou Li sees his father, who is missing both arms and legs, he will be so frightened that he will pee his pants, let alone talk to him.

All in all, when Yu Chen and Zhou Sibu, who was hiding in a hood, pointed to the deserted road and arrived at the county seat, the sun had already set.

One person and one ghost were alone in the wind and snow. When he looked at the door of Zhou's house, he saw that the snow was smooth and there were no footprints. He didn't find any horses or attendants at the door.

Looking at it this way, I'm afraid Zhou Li hasn't come back yet!

So they came to a night tea and wine shop at the west gate of the city and sat there waiting.

The west gate of Weishui City is the only way to go to the state capital. Zhou Li must pass through this place when he returns from the Jinyang Chamber of Commerce in the state capital.

On the other side, the entire Daxia territory was freezing cold.

On the official road, a fierce horse broke through the wind and snow and galloped past!

The man on the saddle was a middle-aged man with average appearance and average build. Only the long fur he wore proved to be of great value. He looked anxious and kept whipping the horse's ass with a whip!

The horse was in pain and ran harder.

But when the horse was exhausted and couldn't run anymore, the middle-aged man changed the horse to another one at the inn, and drove the horse faster and faster, without stopping!

Finally, late at night, I rode back to the Weishui River!

At the city gate, he got off his horse and ran towards the city!

"Dad! Just hold on! The baby is back!"

"The baby won't go out anymore! It just so happens that Juan'er is about to give birth, so we just happened to pick her up. Our family of three will take care of you in Weishui!"

"..."

The man was in a hurry, anxious and kept mumbling.

Judging from his appearance, he looked very similar to Zhou Sibo. He was probably the Zhou Li whom he had longed for.

In this era, communications were not developed, and even wealthy families could only rely on carrier pigeons to deliver messages.

So after Zhou Li received the news that his father was unconscious, he rushed back quickly. At this moment, he didn't know that his father had already passed away early in the morning!

Quickly stepping through the city gate, Zhou Li was about to rush home when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a stooped and familiar figure standing there on crutches in front of the night tea and wine shop in the city gate building.

Take a look!

Why!

Isn't this his father?

Zhou Li felt like his head was buzzing at that time!

Didn't dad fall down and fall unconscious?

Why are you still outside in such a snowy day?

He stopped, tentatively walked over and took a look!

Those eyebrows, that appearance, that figure, those cloudy old eyes...yes, that's his father!

"Dad...you...why are you here?" Zhou Li walked into the tea shop. He was so anxious that he no longer cared about the cold war and said, "Didn't Mom say you fell and fell into a coma?"

"sit."

Zhou Sibu raised his eyes, pointed to the bench in the tea shop, and looked at his son: "What do you think your father did before? A war fighter! What's the big deal if he just fell down? If something really happened, what's the big deal? Can I pick you up at the city gate? "

After hearing this, Zhou Li felt a little relieved, thinking that if something really went wrong, I'm afraid my mother wouldn't let my father run out.

"Okay, let's go home first. It's cold outside, so I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it." Zhou Li said.

"What are you talking about! Old man, I just want to have a drink with you today, but your mother won't let you." Zhou Sibo had a straight face and shook his head.

Then he looked at the waiter at the tea shop and said, "Serve the wine!"

Zhou Li had no choice but to sit opposite Zhou Sibu.

Soon, the waiter brought out several plates of peanuts, two plates of soy sauce beef, a jar of old wine, and a pot of sober tea.

"You've been working all the way back. You're tired. Eat more."

Zhou Sibu served Zhou Li some food, his expression relaxed, and he asked, "How are you living in the state capital these days?"

Zhou Li, who was finishing his drink in one gulp and his face was a little red, was stunned.

Normally, his father would not show such concern, nor would he ask him such questions. Anyway, he just didn't care at all about what he was doing outside.

This whole thing made him feel a little flattered.

"Okay! Everything is fine! By the way! Juan'er's pulse has been found! She will give birth next year, and you can have your grandson by then!" Zhou Li, who was very hungry, replied hurriedly while eating.

"Oh...oh...ok..." Zhou Sibo's eyes darkened, but he quickly regained his composure and sighed, "Li'er, dad shouldn't have forced you to go to the Yamen, and shouldn't have ignored your thoughts. You don’t blame dad, do you?”

"Look at what you said. Although I was very angry with you at the time, if you want to blame me, there is no such thing as blame." Zhou Li shook his head.

He knew that Zhou Sibu was doing it for his own good, and the food in the Yamen was indeed good, but that was not his ambition.

"That's good." Zhou Sibu nodded: "Dad has also thought about it clearly. I will let you go your own way. As dad gets old, he will just watch you from behind."

Zhou Li was stunned with the soy sauce beef in his mouth and raised his head, "Dad!"

He had been waiting for this for nearly ten years!

We had a cold war with Zhou Sibo for nearly ten years!

The wait is finally here!

The feud between father and son is finally over!

Next, Zhou Li drank a lot of wine and talked a lot.

He said that he had been promoted again and that the Jinyang Chamber of Commerce would open a branch in Weishui in a while, so that he could bring his wife and children back to support Zhou Sibo in his old age.

He said that when Juan'er's child was born, Zhou Sibu would give him a name.

He said that when he comes back, he will renovate the house at home and build a pool in the yard. When Zhou Sibo retires, he can go fishing and drink tea at home.

In short, Zhou Li talked a lot at the wine table while still drunk.

Zhou Sibu, who was opposite him, didn't say anything, just smiled and looked at him quietly.

Time is like water.

Until the tea shop owner couldn't bear it anymore, he collected the money and went upstairs to take a nap.

In the end, Zhou Li was so drunk that he fainted and fell asleep.

It wasn't until the next day, when the sky was slightly bright, that I woke up with a severe headache.

Zhou Li opened his eyes and looked around, only to find that Zhou Sibu's figure had disappeared.

A note was left on the table, saying that there was a heavy wind and snow, so he had to go back first, and asked Zhou Li to wake up and go home by himself.

When Zhou Li saw it, he put away the note and wandered home.

As soon as the door opened, the whole hall was filled with mourning and mourning, and Zhou Li was stunned!

What's going on?

Someone died in the family?

He opened his mouth and shouted: "Mom, what's going on? Is dad back?"

Unexpectedly, his mother burst into tears. She pulled Zhou Li's shoulders and made him kneel down towards the coffin in the mourning hall!

Zhou Li is full of meat and potatoes, take a quick look!

What? !

I saw that hanging on the wall above the dark coffin was Zhou Sibu's portrait!

His dad!

died!

"Mom? This dad...didn't dad still drink with me last night? In the blink of an eye, why was he gone?"

Zhou Li's head was buzzing and he raised his head and asked.

His mother glared at him, her big tears couldn't stop flowing, and then she said,

"What are you talking about? Your father... died early yesterday morning!"

"He will be talking about not seeing you for the last time in his hospital bed until he dies!"

Zhou Li was completely confused.
