"This is —" The old man's eyes were wide open. He wanted to laugh, but he managed to hold it in.
Hu Xiao'er added, "This is a good thing that the evil beings did!"
Propagation secret art? Li An'an thought to herself, there's actually such a secret recipe, no wonder Hu Xiao'er brought me here.
"Grandpa Gong, nothing happened on the construction site recently right?"
"Sigh, there really isn't much big stuff. It's just some trivial stuff." The old man continued to fix Li An'an's hair and continued, "However, a few days ago, the corpse of a baby was found early in the morning at the construction site. The umbilical cord on its belly was not cut.
When I first saw it, the baby's heart was still beating. Unfortunately, right after the emergency call, the baby's heartbeat immediately stopped. "
"There is such a thing …" Hu Xiao'er looked at the familiar house and construction site in the distance, "If someone really wants to abandon the baby, why would they throw the baby inside the factory? "Isn't that a bit too obvious? It doesn't make any sense at all."
"That's right. Everyone felt that it was strange, but they didn't find out who the person involved was. Thus, this matter was left unsettled." The old man said, "And from what I heard on the construction site, that baby looks like a fiend, he doesn't seem like a child that was born."
"Doesn't look like a child?" Hu Xiao'er felt new with these words, "If you don't look like a human, what do you look like?"
"I can't say! Some say it looks like a mouse, others say it looks like a fox, and I haven't seen it either, but I've heard the news coming out of their mouths. "
"Interesting." Hu Xiao'er said, "I will go and greet them. Li An'an, after you finish cutting your head off, go wait for me in the car. "
Hu Xiao'er placed the car keys in front of her.
Li An'an nodded her head, the small bag in her hand contained the wig she had just bought.
Hu Xiao'er took out three coins from his pocket and placed it on the table, "Grandpa Gong, leave the money here."
"Hey, good!" The old tutor didn't mind at all.
When Li An'an saw the three coins scattered on the table, she was immediately shocked. "Grandfather, do you usually only accept three dollars for hair cutting?"
"Yeah, it's been more than ten years. No matter what kind of people come to look for me to cut my hair style, I only take three yuan. I'm used to it." The old man's brow was deep, and his smile was very benevolent. However, very few people noticed that his hands would always slightly tremble when he spoke of this matter.
Three dollars for a cut, Li An'an sighed in her heart. In the past, when she went to the barbershop to trim his hair a little, it would have cost him a few hundred dollars, but here she only took three dollars.
Immediately, she felt an inexplicable guilt in her heart. It was a feeling that was hard to describe.
"Grandfather, how long have you been here?"
The old man thought for a moment, then opened his mouth a long time before closing it, "I haven't counted in a long time."
He turned around and took out a porcelain jar from under the old bed, "This is the secret recipe that I have transferred to you. I will rub it on your head and let your scalp absorb some nutrients later. In less than a week your hair will grow out, I mean slowly. but at least three to five times longer than the average person. "
Li An'an expressed her readiness to do so and expressed her gratitude to the old man.
The old man was not polite and was shy. He directly took a wooden spoon and scooped up something that looked like transparent glue and smeared it on Li An'an's head. Then, he smeared it evenly on Li An'an's head.
"It'll take about ten minutes."
Li An'an felt an abnormal cool on her scalp, as if her head was being pressed down by an ice-cold towel.
"How is it? This is the secret recipe which my ancestors taught me. "
Li An'an nodded, looked at the wall close to the newspaper, and doubtfully asked, "Grandfather, do you not even use a mirror to cut your hair?"
"Heart like a mirror, hand like a mirror, I stopped using the mirror many years ago."
"It seems that you've been doing this for a long time, right?"
"Yeah, it's been a long time. I can't even remember the time."
"Do you have a family?"
The old man did not speak for a long while before he finally said, "They have all passed away."
Li An'an felt that his question was very rude, so she apologized repeatedly, indicating that it was not on purpose.
The old man didn't mind at all, he waved his hand and said, "It's alright, I've encountered this problem countless times, I'm already completely used to it."
He went to the side, washed his hands, dried them, and sat down on the side, "Now this is my home. I wandered around for years after my son and wife died, and finally moved here. I forgot the exact year. "
His eyes narrowed into slits, and his dry fingers ran through his hair.
"I killed them. I'm a sinner." "Now I will expiate for the rest of my life."
Li An'an looked at his bent waist and red eyes in puzzlement.
He had been hiding this matter in his heart for decades. It was a period of time in the past that he did not want to look back on.
He had always wanted to bring this concern to his passing, but he didn't know why, but when he saw Li An'an today, he immediately thought of his own wife when he was young.
At that time, he was still a young man in his early twenties. Although his family couldn't be considered rich because they were landlords, in the eyes of others, they were indeed a rich family.
His name was Gong Jun. That year, he was ordered by his parents to marry a young lady from the village.
No matter what, he was still a little over twenty years old. In the future, he would have to rely on himself to support his family, and even if the family had a lot of money, they wouldn't be able to afford to lose. Moreover, their family was just a small landlord.
When the master learned that the village owner's child was going to learn from him, he quickly agreed.
Gong Jun's father even specially prepared some food for the old master.
Just like that, Gong Jun began his career as a young warrior.
