C26 Liu Sandao

Uncle Hu patted Su Xinyue's shoulder, indicating that she didn't need to say anything. Just listen to his arrangements.

Uncle Hu turned around and drove in the direction of the south of the city. "Xiao Yue, when you reach Uncle Liu, listen to my instructions. Only I can do whatever I want in front of him. Everyone else is afraid of him. " Uncle Hu also laughed as he spoke.

"Uncle Hu, your smile makes people happy. " Su Xinyue couldn't help but laugh as well.

"I'm a casual person. I don't always have a rigid face like Uncle Liu and the others. I'm like an old scholar. I scare people just by looking at it. " Uncle Hu said straightforwardly.

"When Uncle Liu heard you say that, he became anxious. " Su Xinyue couldn't help but laugh loudly. The haze of the past few days was swept away. She believed that there would be a day when all the difficult problems would be solved.

As they chatted and laughed along the way, the small car drove forward like a reptile in the city. Finally, the car stopped at the entrance of the alley. Uncle Hu and Su Xinyue got out of the car and walked towards Uncle Liu's house, one in front and one behind.

When they reached the entrance of the courtyard, Uncle Hu was just about to raise his hand and knock on the door. He found that the yard door was closed. Uncle Hu quietly walked into the courtyard with Su Xinyue. He found Uncle Liu in the yard with his back facing them. Uncle Liu wore a loose deep-blue collar suit. In front of him was a small square table with an incense burner on it. Three incense sticks were inserted into the incense burner. Uncle Liu lit the three incense sticks with a lighter in his hand. He then carefully washed his hands in a basin filled with clear water.

Su Xinyue used her gaze to ask Uncle Hu. Uncle Hu indicated for her to calm down and wait patiently. Uncle Liu finished washing his hands and flung his hands to the left and right. He put his palms together and faced upwards, then his palms faced downwards. He bowed deeply three times in the direction of the small square table, lowered his head, and closed his eyes. After a while, Uncle Liu opened his eyes.

"Brother Liu, long time no see. " Uncle Hu's voice was low and deep. His words weighed thousands of kilograms and contained thousands of words.

Uncle Liu turned around and nodded at him. He stretched out his hand and picked up the small square table and placed it in the miscellaneous room in the courtyard. Uncle Hu followed him and said with a smile, "Brother Liu, congratulations. He came out of the mountain again. "

"Who said you want to come out of the mountain?" Uncle Liu still had a serious look on his face. Uncle Hu ignored his attitude and continued to smile. "Wasn't the ritual just now?" He looked at Uncle Liu and asked.

"You're right, but not for the fan shop, but for myself. " Uncle Liu explained. He never spoke much, and he also didn't speak much. Only someone like Hu Dahai could get along with him.

"Is there a difference? Why is it not important? What's important is that I finally see you coming out of the mountain again. " Uncle Hu's face revealed a solemn expression. He was truly happy for Uncle Liu.

"You are such a rare guest. If it wasn't for Xiaoyue, I'm afraid it would be. You won't even come and take a look at me, will you?" Uncle Liu finally said something to him, but his heart wasn't as cold as it seemed.

"Brother Liu, how could that be? I'm afraid to see you, right? I don't do proper business all day. I'm afraid you'll scold me, so I decided to close up and not see you. " Uncle Hu said with some embarrassment.

"The few of us will count you as having a carefree life. What can I say about you?" Uncle Liu defended himself. "We're already at this age, so it's time to let things go. After I finish dealing with the matters at hand, If I really can't escape, I will come out of the mountain again. . . Help Xiao Yue rebuild the fan business and let the fan shop open again soon. This way, I'll have something to do for the rest of my life. " Uncle Liu had planned this long ago.

"Hey, Brother Liu. You want to scare me to death? I originally thought that you wouldn't agree to it no matter what. It seems that you still have a conscience. No, you still love this skill as much as you did in the past. " Uncle Hu got excited and started to speak incoherently.

"You don't have any conscience, you old fox. " Uncle Liu glared at Uncle Hu and Hu Dahai. Uncle Hu grinned and moved closer to Uncle Liu. "I knew you wouldn't leave me to die. Oh, right. Before coming here, I went to see Xiaomei. She's in a very good condition right now. "

Uncle Liu glanced at Uncle Hu and didn't respond. "I know what you're thinking, so I won't force you. " Uncle Hu added.

"I'm going to do something. Take Xiaoyue to the house. " Uncle Liu turned around and entered the storeroom. Uncle Hu stretched his neck and saw that the storeroom had been cleaned up. There were fans tools inside. Uncle Liu opened a wrapped paper roll. Inside was a large piece of fan bone. Uncle Liu picked up a piece of fan bone with his left hand. His right hand picked up a file knife and quickly grinded it back and forth on the fan bone. As his hands moved faster, He heard a "shua shua shua" sound, and as he raised his hand, the blade stopped. A piece of bamboo bone had been polished.

"Do you know? Your Uncle Liu is known as the Thirteen Swords of Liu, and his hands are fast and accurate. It is his special skill. " Uncle Hu whispered to Su Xinyue.

"Sandao, what a domineering name. I really look forward to the day when Uncle Liu will truly use his saber. " Su Xinyue looked at Uncle Liu with admiration. She believed that Uncle Hu was not the idle person he mentioned. The people around her grandfather were all skilled. Even her aunt, who was in charge of logistics, could not be underestimated. It was said that embroidery alone could allow one to travel through the entire Nanjing.

"Look, this fan bone is in his hands. It will be polished in less than two hours. " Uncle Hu reminded him.

Su Xinyue widened her eyes and looked at Uncle Liu's hand. She only saw that the knife seemed to have come alive in his hand. The blade shadows were accompanied by a series of swooshing sounds. Fragments quickly slid down from his hand. After a while, they piled up under his feet into a pile. Su Xinyue's large eyes stared at him unblinkingly. In her eyes, Uncle Liu had become an unworldly expert. She had never thought that such a boring and time-consuming fan making skill would become an art in Uncle Liu's hands. His hands, his heart, and his spirit merged into one. It became a piece of art.

Su Xinyue never thought that when Uncle Liu attacked with his saber, it would be such a scene. As the bamboo leaf moved, it was like a river flowing slowly. Her heart and mind were touched like never before. A trace of moisture slowly appeared in her eyes, and her heart was filled with shock.

Uncle Liu seemed to have entered a trance. He was completely immersed in making the fan, and the people and things outside automatically closed up. To reach such a state was not something that could be achieved overnight.

"Xiao Yue, can you see it? Usually at this time, your Uncle Liu would not recognize his family. The knife was in his hand, and the bones were being grinded. Everything depended on what he thought. Let's go first. We'll come back tomorrow, and we'll see what happens. " Uncle Hu clearly knew Uncle Liu like the back of his hand. From his eyes, he knew what he was going to do next.

Uncle Hu sent Su Xinyue back to the old residence and told her that he would come and pick her up tomorrow morning. Su Xinyue returned to the main house. Meng Tianheng was waiting for her there.

"Did things go smoothly?" He asked, "Who was the person who picked you up today?" He continued asking.

"He's the old man from the fan store, he came to help me" She didn't intend to explain it in detail. She suddenly remembered that when Uncle Hu saw Meng Tianheng, he seemed to say that Meng Tianheng looked very familiar. She wasn't sure if Uncle Hu had said that.

"Come and take a look. I've already decided on the style of the shop. She used the white and pink color of the red begonia. This color is more refreshing and elegant. There were no fan products yet, only the most popular fan in the shop. However, it was worth it to operate it properly. I suggest we use this fan as a promotional tool and keep it as a memento. Although there will be a lot of people who want this fan, It's better for you to keep it as a memento. " Meng Tianheng had already thought of it for her.

Su Xinyue was somewhat moved. Everything he said had been said to her heart.
