Chapter 273: Obey Your Age
After that day, Qin Yuchen never heard from 007 again that Wuxie was going to commit suicide.
007 said that Wuxie was very honest after being threatened by Qin Yuchen, and he did not throw away the photos, but kept them all in the drawer.
Qin Yuchen listened to the story to pass the time and did not give any comments.
Now all the news about Wuxie and Jie Yuchen comes from 007, and Jie Yuchen rarely contacts them.
In recent years, the Nine Gates have been in decline. The death of the older generation has given many younger generations of the Nine Gates opportunities, and they feel that they should become the boss.
The only two families that are better may be the Jie family and the Wu family.
Qin Yuchen was not interested in whether Jiumen was dead or alive, he only cared about Jie Yuchen's safety.
Although they don't contact each other often, his attention is still on Jie Yuchen.
Qin Yuchen's life is very leisurely now. He is either basking in the sun in the yard or wandering around the mountains and rivers in other places. He rarely accepts invitations from the underworld. Sometimes he accepts invitations to go to tombs to kill people, not to steal treasures.
It is also worth mentioning that since the last time a group of Wang family members were dealt with, this group of people's attention seemed to have shifted, and the focus was placed on Wuxie.
This makes it more convenient for Qin Yuchen to take care of himself in his old age and also for him to find things.
Qin Yuchen sat under the eaves, holding a palm-leaf fan in one hand and a handful of melon seeds in the other. He smelled the aroma of Chinese medicine gradually wafting out of the kitchen, wrinkled his nose, and threw the melon seed shells into the trash can.
After a while, Hei Xia Zi came out with a bowl of black medicine.
That was the method 007 told Qin Yuchen, who then repeated it to Hei Xia Zi. It was the medicine to cure his eyes.
When they first made it, they doubted the authenticity of the medicine.
Not to mention the smell, which is a very authentic Chinese medicine smell, but the color... it doesn't look like it's drinkable.
It looks very much like dissolved lotus root starch, black and sticky.
Hei Xia Zi protested when he drank it for the first time, but 007 responded with a bitter medicine.
He had no choice but to force himself to swallow it.
Hei Xiazi came to Qin Yuchen with a bowl in his hand and swung it in front of him.
"Take that damn medicine away from you."
Qin Yuchen lost the mood to crack melon seeds. Looking at the increasingly excited Black Bear, he simply picked up the small stool and sat down somewhere else.
"What are you disgusted with, Lao Tan? It's not the first time I've smelled it."
Hei Xiazi blocked his nostrils tightly with tissues, and his voice was buzzing when he spoke. He smiled and approached Qin Yuchen again, showing Qin Yuchen the contents of the bowl with a fearless look.
"Don't forget, we went through it together.
The smell back then was even stronger than this, and you could wait until it was ready."
"I was telling you what to do." Qin Yuchen pinched his nose and moved away from the bowl in silence.
"If you say you don't want to be disgusted, why don't you take the tissue out of your nose and throw it away."
Hei Xiazi raised his eyebrows and said with a look of asking for a beating that he didn't.
Tan Yuchen rolled his eyes:
"Drink quickly, then go clean up the kitchen and remember to open all the windows!"
"Don't worry, I've already opened everything and cleaned the pot. I won't throw away the residue until I finish drinking it."
Hei Xiazi took a deep breath and drank a bowl of wine.
Qin Yuchen stretched out his hand and handed a few fruit candies to Hei Xiazi: "After drinking for so many days, have there been any changes in your eyes?"
"Does it count if it becomes even blurrier?" Hei Xia Zi bit the candy into pieces in a few bites, then peeled another one and put it into his mouth.
Qin Yuchen immediately looked up: "What?"
"The clarity of what I see during the day has become blurrier," Black Blind said nonchalantly, "but my vision at night is as good as ever."
"Why is that?" Qin Yuchen frowned and asked 007 directly.
"Also, it's a lot easier on my shoulders."
[It's normal, sir. Black Blind will be completely blind once and then get some sleep.]
The voices of 007 and Hei Xia Zi sounded together.
Both are good news, and Qin Yuchen breathed a sigh of relief:
"In that case, stay home for the time being. Wuxie and the others don't need our help for the time being."
"I know. It just so happens that you and the mute are both at home." Black Blind Man nodded in agreement. "By the way, where is he? Why haven't I seen him?"
"Go out for exercise." Qin Yuchen got another handful of melon seeds and gave some to Hei Xia Zi.
Hei Xiazi waved his hand, indicating the dirty bowl in his hand, and Qin Yuchen said:
"I didn't see him when I got up."
Hei Xiazi thought: "Is there anywhere I can go around here?"
"Maybe they're in some alley watching those old men and women playing chess and chatting." Qin Yuchen chuckled, "Qiu He is probably with them too."
Not only did Qin Yuchen not see Zhang Qiling in the morning, but Qiuhe was also not in her nest.
007 was still sleeping in the small room with his belly exposed, and Qiuhe must have gone somewhere else.
"It's something he should be able to do at his age." Hei Xia Zi took the bowl back to the kitchen to wash it.
"Be careful not to let him hear you say that." Qin Yuchen raised his voice a little to make sure the person in the room didn't miss it.
"You have to accept your age." Hei Xiazi quickly washed the dishes, wiped the stove and cleaned up the kitchen waste.
"Okay, I'm going to go take out the trash first."
Qin Yuchen waved at Hei Xia Zi's back and yawned.
He sat quietly in the yard for a while, and when he was about to go into the living room, Hei Xia Zi and Zhang Qiling came back together.
Qiuhe ran out from behind Zhang Qiling with a meow and threw herself into Qin Yuchen's arms.
Qin Yuchen squatted down and hugged Qiu He into his arms, rubbing its head: "Where did you go to play?"
The words were spoken to Qiu He, but the question was directed at Zhang Qiling.
"Look at the old guys playing chess." Hei Xia Zi continued.
"Oh, you really went?" Qin Yuchen pinched Qiuhe's claws and hooked its nails, raising his eyebrows.
"Yes, I happened to see him coming back from taking out the trash."
Hei Xiazi turned around and washed his hands.
"Let's go take a look at the alley ahead." Zhang Qiling nodded and went to Qin Yuchen.
"How is the battle going?" Qin Yuchen asked.
Zhang Qiling: "It's quite interesting."
He had not originally planned to go out, but Qiuhe loved to play in the woods outside, and this time she took the initiative to rub Zhang Qiling's trouser leg and invited him to go out with her.
Zhang Qiling glanced at Qin Yuchen who was still sleeping, then glanced at Hei Xiazi's house which was silent, and took Qiuhe out.
He first followed Qiuhe for a walk in the bamboo forest, and finally walked a little further to the entrance of the alley.
The entrance of the alley was cool and lively in the early morning. Many old people gathered there to play chess and have breakfast. Zhang Qiling had nothing to do, so he stayed there with Qiu He.
Even though they have lived here for decades, people nearby are getting old and dying, and not many people know them.
So when Zhang Qiling, who looked like a "young guy", appeared, the old men were quite happy, saying that it was rare to see young people getting up so early to watch the chess game.
