Lin Xi picked up a chess piece and placed it on the chess board, which was Dalong's only chance of survival. "I was wrong to disturb Elder Shu in thinking about chess, I will make up for it for you!"

When Elder Shu saw the chess piece on the chess board, his eyes suddenly lit up. He clapped his hands on his thighs and laughed out loud.

"Right, right! This is the place! The old man won this round!"

Seeing that Lin Xi had given the Elder Shu a helping hand, Lee Binn could not help but let out a bitter laugh. "Xiao Lin, why are you not helping me at all?

Lee Binn was no longer his opponent, so he threw the chess piece back into the chess box. "Elder Shu, this round is not counted, it was done by Xiao Lin."

Elder Shu did not care that much as he laughed even more complacently, "Hahaha, Little Li, you have to admit your loss. "I'm Xiao Lin's landlord. If you don't help me, can you help me?"

After he finished speaking, Elder Shu turned around and looked at Lin Xi, sizing him up: "The hospital has not lived in vain for ten days, it has been cleaned out quite a bit."

Actually, Elder Shu had already come to visit Lin Xi on the second day after he was hospitalized. It was just that he was still unconscious at that time, and was still listening to what Zhou Zhe had to tell him later on.

Originally, Elder Shu was extremely worried, but after hearing Zhou Zhe's explanation, he felt relieved and left. Before he left, he even said something.

However, after Lin Xi woke up, he always remembered this kindness in his heart, because the Elder Shu really treated him like his own grandson.

Suddenly, the Elder Shu saw the Calabash Bottle in Lin Xi's hands, and a strange look flashed past his eyes: "Where did you get this Calabash Bottle from, show it to me!"

Lin Xi passed the Calabash Bottle to Elder Shu, and laughed: "I just bought it from a stall on the way back, I spent a total of fifty dollars. If it wasn't for the fact that it looks similar to this old man's gourd, I wouldn't have spent that kind of money.

Elder Shu carefully examined the Calabash Bottle in his hand, then raised it to look at the signature at the bottom of the bottle, and then gave it to Lee Binn: "Little Li, take a look too."

"If your master knew you called him an old man behind his back, I'm afraid he would have cleaned up his family. However, what do you mean filial piety? I understand your kind intentions, so just play a few more games of chess with me when you have time. "

After looking at the Calabash Bottle, Lee Binn returned it to Lin Xi's hands. A Buddha smile was plastered on Lee Binn's face. "Xiao Lin, why didn't you ask me?

"Uncle Lee, you're teasing me again, why do you need this cheap stuff? Take it back and I'll ruin your reputation. When I have enough money in the future, I'll give you a big antique.

The Elder Shu waved his hand, as if he was chasing Lin Xi away. "Go, go, don't disturb us.

Lin Xi found a place to sit with a smile, muttered to himself for a bit, and said seriously: "Elder Shu, I'm unemployed."

Elder Shu cleaned up the chessboard and picked up the pieces, putting them back into the chess box. "Then, what are your plans for the future?"

Lin Xi thought for a while, "My classmate is going to get married in a few days, so he sent me an invitation. I want to go back to take a look first, then go back and see my mother.

"Since you've already decided, why are you still telling me what to do?"

Lin Xi giggled: "Isn't this the same as leaving the Ming Zhou in a few days? So I'll first bid farewell to the Elder Shu, and of course there's still the Uncle Lee."

"It's not like we're not coming back. Say goodbye, hurry up and f * ck off. Don't hinder us from playing chess."

"Heh heh, then I'll be leaving Elder Shu. Li Mu, I'll be leaving first."

Looking at Lin Xi's leaving figure, Maitreya Buddha Lee Binn could not help but exclaim in admiration, "A beauty worthy of eating, how could she be a tender character? This brat is so fortunate, how could I not have such good luck, it's only fifty yuan!"

Elder Shu laughed: That's right, this foolish brat's luck has even made me jealous.

"Then why didn't you tell him?"

"Why tell him that he picked up a huge loophole and a few million worth of real items? The windfall is not something that everyone can do without fear and joy. "

Lee Binn laughed: "Then you really don't care about him?"

Elder Shu looked at Lin Xi's disappearing figure and did not reveal any emotion: "How come I don't care, only this foolish brat can trouble this old man and take a walk outside. You called Old Jian, this foolish brat saved his life, is it fine to give him tens of thousands of dollars?"

Maitreya laughed, "Alright, let's play chess first. I'll call Elder Jian when we get back. It's your turn!"

….

When Lin Xi returned home, the Calabash Bottle was carefully placed in the most conspicuous position. Then, he took out his phone and called his mother, who was far away from home.

After the call connected, a gentle voice came from the other end of the line, "Hello, Lil 'Lin, why did you call me?"

"Mom, it's me. I just missed you."

"Kid, your mom misses you too. How are you doing at Ming Zhou?"

Lin Xi was quiet for a moment: "Alright, alright, a few days ago the boss said he would give me a raise, Mom, I want to tell you something."

"Boss is giving you a raise, so you have to work hard. If you want to live up to your salary, what do you want to say to Mom?"

"The boss said that I'm serious at work and gave me a long vacation, so I wanted to come back and see you."

The lady on the other end of the phone went silent for a moment, then said warmly, "Okay, when are you coming back? Mom will pick you up at the train station."

"I don't know yet, I still have work to do here, but it should be soon. I'll call you when I get back."

"Alright, call Mom when you get back. Mom will pick you up at the train station."

After hanging up, Lin Xi's nose turned sour. He remembered a line on the internet: When I was young, even if I had money, I would still say that I had no money in front of my parents. When I grew up, even if I had no money, I would still say that I had money.

The next morning, Lin Xi was still having a beautiful dream about not waking up. He dreamed that he was playing by the lake with a beautiful girl, holding hands, but strangely, he couldn't see the girl's face clearly, as if the girl's face was covered by a light muslin. Just as he was about to push the muslin away, a pair of big hands suddenly fell on his shoulders, scaring him to the point that his whole body turned cold.

The loud knocking on the door caused Lin Xi to roll over and over on the bed, but that bed seemed to have some sort of special magic, attracting Lin Xi's attention and making him unable to get up.

However, the knocking on the door was getting louder and louder, Zhou Zhe's shouts could still be heard. Even if Lin Xi used his pillow and blanket to cover his head, it would be useless.

Finally, Lin Xi decided to compromise, and ran over to the door like a madman to open it. Just as he was about to curse, he saw that Zhou Zhe was holding a breakfast in his hand, and a large portion of his anger disappeared.

Lin Xi pointed to the alarm clock on the bed, and complained: "You knocked on the door just at some time, can't you let people sleep?"

Zhou Zhe put down his breakfast, "Have you forgotten about the train going to Lu Zhou today?

It was already bad to be woken up by others, but after hearing Zhou Zhe's words, he immediately became angry. "It's only 11: 30 am, it's only 6 am now. Why are we rushing to sell pigs?"

Zhou Zhe sighed: "Ah, you, how can you not have any worries? What if there is a traffic jam, what if there is an accident!"

Lin Xi's head grew big, he asked seriously: "You cursed me when I just got out of the hospital, did you do this on purpose?"

Zhou Zhe pushed his glasses up, "This is not a curse, it's something that everything is possible, this is called being prepared and not getting into trouble."

After washing up, he picked up Zhou Zhe's breakfast and ate it without the slightest trace of politeness. "Speak, what is it?

In fact, when Lin Xi opened the door and saw the breakfast in Zhou Zhe's hands, he knew that Zhou Zhe definitely had something to request of him. Otherwise, he would definitely not bring breakfast for him.
