The deaf old lady brought the child to adulthood and raised her. She worked very hard and never enjoyed any blessings in her life.

Therefore, Xu Weiguo couldn't bear to let the deaf old lady work alone.

Xu Xiaoya's life was saved by the deaf old lady, and the deaf old lady recreated her kindness. Xu Weiguo felt that he should repay the deaf old lady's kindness for raising her.

That night, Xu Weiguo tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

He thought of his parents' tragic death and felt a lot of pain. He had forgotten his parents' hatred, and he could only bury this grief and anger in his heart and then work hard to make money.

The next day, at dawn, Xu Weiguo got up. After breakfast, he rode his bicycle away from the old deaf lady's house.

Passing by the town, Xu Weiguo bought a piece of meat and two bottles of wine to send it to the deaf old lady's house.

After dinner, Xu Weiguo rode his bicycle to the county town again.

He found a place to park his bicycle, then carried his travel bag and walked towards the train station. He bought a ticket and got on the bus.

Before the train started, Xu Weiguo saw a familiar figure.

"Li Xuemei? Why is she here? Could it be... she also fled to the famine?" Xu Weiguo said intimately.

He saw Li Xuemei carrying a large suitcase, which was very heavy, as if she had a lot of things in it.

"Where is this going?" Xu Weiguo stopped Li Xuemei.

"You are... Xu Weiguo?" Li Xuemei asked.

"Well. I'm Xu Weiguo, where are you going?" Lan

"I'm going to Nanzhou City too. Let's go together. I'll stay in Nanzhou City for a few days."

Xu Weiguo was very surprised. The meeting at the train station solved his troubles. He was not afraid of taking a bus with Li Xuemei, but was afraid that her, a woman, would not be used to being in Nanzhou City and would go back.

He said, "Okay. I'm going to Nanzhou City too, let's go along."

The two exchanged contact information.

Before leaving, Li Xuemei said to Xu Weiguo: "Weiguo, I have watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Cao Pi killed Dong Zhuo and Liu Bei destroyed Lu Bu. The story of Liu Bei and Zhuge Kongming spread all over the world. So, you must be mentally prepared. You may not be a hero in your life, but you must be a loyal minister and never be a traitor. If you surrender to Cao Cao, I will always look down on you!"

"Uh..." Xu Weiguo looked confused.

"Also, I heard that Cao Cao's women are not good things, they are all very bad. If you are caught, you will definitely ruin you. You must pay attention to protecting yourself." Li Xuemei reminded Lan.

"Yeah, I remember. Thank you."

"Also, if you are alone in Nanzhou City, be more careful and never trust strangers easily. Otherwise, I will accompany you."

"Don't! I'm pretty safe now, I'll pay more attention."

"That's good."

"If you have something to do, call at any time."

"Um."

...

...

Xu Weiguo returned to the house of the deaf old lady.

He first went to feed the deaf old lady, and then took out a kitchen knife to crack the firewood.

Last night, he figured it out. Since fate made him meet an old lame lady, then be filial. Xu Xiaoya still needs the care of the old deaf lady. If he leaves the old deaf lady alone, Xu Xiaoya will be bullied.

Xu Weiguo cut off firewood for a long time, then went to the toilet to put water, and then went to the kitchen to cook.

The blind old lady has pots and pans at home, which are made of broken wooden nails, and they are missing arms and legs. The blind old lady's family is poor, and her family is bare and has no valuable things.

"Old lady, I'll make you a good meal tonight." Xu Weiguo said.

"Don't bother you, the old woman can do anything."

"It's okay, you can rest." Xu Weiguo said.

...

While eating, Xu Weiguo saw the dishes made by the deaf old lady.

The old man cooked black potatoes, stewed eggplant, radish strips, scrambled eggs and salted fish. The potato strips were marinated with salt and the taste was very strong. The shredded radish was picked freshly. The fried dishes were very beautiful in color and they looked like they were enjoyable.

"Old lady, you cook delicious food." Xu Weiguo said.

"I haven't eaten meat for a long time. I've been a little hungry these days." The blind old lady said with a smile.

Xu Weiguo was filled with emotion.

The old lady never enjoyed happiness in her life, but in the end she handed over her hands to his hands and entrust her granddaughter to him.

He always believed that his appearance was just accidental, or that he was a god sent by God to save the deaf old lady.

Xu Weiguo suddenly remembered the ancient painting he got in the cave, which was painted with a map of a city.

The map depicts the situation in the western region of Jiangdong Province.

The name of this map is "Jiangdong Map".

Jiangdong is a province with a long history of the Chinese nation and has ruled for hundreds of years. This map is the most exquisite map of Jiangdong County, countless times more detailed than the general "Jiangdong Map". It not only marks various place names, populations, and resources, but also describes the rivers, landforms, climates, customs, folk customs, and even many unofficial historical rumors near each county.

This map can be said to be a treasure of Jiangdong County!

After seeing it, Xu Weiguo was extremely excited. He once wondered whether this map really existed. After all, it was a map from hundreds of years ago.

Now, he finally confirmed that this is true!

The value of this map is immeasurable, it is a wealth!

If Xu Weiguo could master the map, he would have an extremely powerful intelligence network. He could not only check information, but also do a good job in response in advance to prevent enemy invasions. More importantly, Xu Weiguo could use this map to obtain huge strategic resources.

Xu Weiguo immediately took out the "Jiangdong Map" from his pocket and handed it to the deaf old lady, and said, "Grandma, take a look."

The blind old lady took it tremblingly and observed it carefully. After a while, the old lady pointed to a place on the map in surprise and said, "This is Jingzhou. I have read it in the book. Jingzhou is a fertile and rich soil. It is said that there are many gold and coal mines in Jingzhou."

Xu Weiguo quickly turned to another page and looked at it. This map is a regional map of Jiangdong Province. In addition to Jiangdong Province, there are several provinces such as Nanyang. Among them, Nanyang County is closest to Yuzhou.

Xu Weiguo said: "Although there are coal mines and gold mines in Nanyang County, it is not safe there. I suggest you move to Nanzhou City for the time being."

"Is Nanzhou City?" The deaf old lady hesitated.

She is a country man with a solidified mind and may not adapt to it once she changes her living environment.

"Old lady, let's rent a house in Nanzhou City, and then hire a driver and a nanny. We usually do some grocery work for you without delaying anything. We have been living together for many days and feel like a relative."

"well……"

The old man sighed. She was a widow with three children and lived a difficult life.

Xu Weiguo continued: "You and Uncle Liu are a family and are also my elders. I am willing to support your two elders."

"But, the old woman is already a blind old woman, how can you serve you?" the old man said worriedly.

Xu Weiguo shook his head and said, "I have the strength. Moreover, our family has a car, so it's not difficult to send your second elder to Nanzhou City. Don't worry too much, we won't dislike you."

"Hey young... Weiguo, how can that work? Your father and I can't take advantage of you." The old man waved his hand quickly.

"It's okay, you are very nice to me, this is what you deserve. My parents died early, and there is a brother and sister-in-law at home. I am the only son in our family. In the future, I have to trouble you and my brother and sister-in-law to take care of Xiaoya. My brother is an honest man and he will not spend money indiscriminately." Xu Weiguo said.

After hearing this, Xu Xiaoya jumped happily.

She jumped over, hugged Xu Weiguo's waist and said, "Dad, you are so awesome!"

"Silly girl."

Xu Weiguo smiled.

He knew that the old lady felt sorry for money, so he said so.

Xu Weiguo said: "Old lady, I'll take a shower and change my clothes first."

He was wearing this dress and staying in the house, so he was so furious.

The blind old lady said, "Okay, go, your mother and I will wait for you on the kang."

After Xu Weiguo left, the lame old lady said, "Our nephew is a good boy. What a pity that our family lives hard and cannot entertain him. When he leaves, he will give him five kilograms of white rice."

"Mom, where do you need to get food? It's not that our family can't get rid of the blame."

"You can't take other people's things. You forgot, how did Weiguo find this place?"

The lame old lady was stunned.

She remembered that Xu Weiguo said that he dug a map in the mountains, marking several places such as Jiangdong County and Jianghan Plain. She asked Xu Weiguo where he found the map.

Xu Weiguo pointed to the southwest. The blind old lady asked, why didn’t she tell him that his destination was the Jianghan Plain?

Xu Weiguo explained: "This map is only a boundary of Jiangdong Province. There are many countries outside the Jianghan Plain, and the jurisdiction of local governments cannot be exposed at will. I plan to thoroughly study this map in the past few years before telling you."

The old lady suddenly realized, "Yes, you are considering our family. This time you go to Nanzhou City, don't be deceived, you must be careful. Our nephew is very smart, but he is not brave."

"Don't worry, grandma."

After Xu Weiguo took a shower, he came to the main hall for dinner. Today, dinner was special and there was a banquet.

The wine and food are made by the villagers. The main dish is a plate of spicy and sour potato shredded potatoes, the side dish is two braised eggplant, and a plate of fried bacon, plus a pot of stewed chicken soup.
