Tie Mo and Old Man Zhao both had a stubborn streak in them. Nunu was still young, but he could see that they had no intention of giving in.
Old man Zhao was so angry that he was breathing heavily and refused to say a word.
Tie Mo straightened his clothes and walked towards the door with a cold face. Old man Zhao thought Tie Mo was angry and left, so he squeezed out a smile, but he never thought that before he could laugh out loud, his face collapsed again.
Of course Tie Mo would not leave. He came to the door and knelt on the ground with a plop.
"Mr. Zhao, if you don't agree, I will kneel here and never get up."
"You...Old man Zhao was trembling with anger, wishing he could use a cane to hit Tie Mo, "You, you kid, actually acted like a rogue with me. If you are willing to kneel down, then kneel down."
Tie Mo frowned, did not answer, and just knelt down.
Zhou Dingshan and others in the yard were very angry. Ruan Sangou was the most youthful and energetic person. He rolled up his sleeves and snorted, "Mother, this old man has gone too far. I will take him to Zhangbei right now."
As soon as they reached the steps, Tie Mo turned around and said angrily: "You all, get out of here. If anyone dares to embarrass Mr. Zhao, don't blame me for being rude to him."
"Brother Tie, I can't stand this old man treating you like this..."
"Sangouzi, what do you know? You all go out and wait, do you hear me?"
Under Tie Mo's stern gaze, Zhou Dingshan and others had no choice but to leave the yard obediently.
Old Zhao looked through the window and saw Tie Mo's attitude toward Zhou Dingshan and others, and his expression softened a lot. However, Nunu beside her was a little unhappy. She pouted her little mouth and shook Old Zhao's hand vigorously.
"Grandpa Zhao, please help Brother Tie."
"Hey, girl, stop wandering, you are still young, you don't understand the things here, I am also in trouble!"
"No, I won't listen, please help me." Nunu's pretty little face was wrinkled, with a sad expression, and her pair of big expressive eyes might shed tears at any time.
Old Zhao felt distressed for a while, and he knelt down and touched Nunu's cheek.
...
Old man Zhao seemed to be determined, and Tie Mo refused to give in. He had been kneeling at the door for three hours, and he didn't even move, and not even a drop of water entered.
With the scorching sun above my head, my whole body was dripping with sweat.
However, God was not kind to us. The sun was scorching just now, but at the beginning of the Youshi period, the clouds suddenly became dense and the rain poured down.
The rain poured down, drenching everything in the courtyard. Tie Mo knelt outside the door and was instantly soaked in water.
Listening to the voices outside the window, Old Man Zhao frowned. That stubborn boy probably couldn't bear this crime and should get out!
Nunu started to persuade Old Man Zhao again, but Old Man Zhao still refused to let go, which made Nunu lose his temper, turned around and sat aside, and simply stopped talking.
Outside the room, the rain was pouring, and Tie Mo was still kneeling upright. In the room, the old and the young were also angry, and no one paid attention to anyone.
Fortunately, the rain stopped at Haishi. The accumulated water was like a stream, flowing along the steps towards the pond. Tie Mo felt that his back was cold and his head was a little heavy.
Old man Zhao drank some tea, opened the door and took a look. Seeing Tie Mo still kneeling outside, he went back to sleep with a cold face.
...
Outside the yard, Ruan Sangou sneezed, opened the door and took a look, "Brother Tie is still kneeling there. No, I have to ask the old man what he means."
Zhou Dingshan grabbed Ruan Sangou and said sternly: "Sangouzi, don't act recklessly. Brother Tie has his own motives for doing this. If you go in so recklessly, Brother Tie will not suffer this sin in vain."
?”
"But!"
"There's nothing wrong with it. Just wait patiently. If it doesn't work, we'll take action again. In short, let's do what Brother Tie wants first."
Ruan Sangou nodded with an unhappy expression, and Hao Sanpao had no objection.
Since the battle at Baiyao Mountain, Hao Sanpao has witnessed Zhou Dingshan's growth rate by walking through the desert, Mantou Mountain, and Yehu Ridge.
It’s no wonder that Tie Mo values Zhou Dingshan so much. This young man has a quality that no one else has, and that is stability. It can be said that Zhou Dingshan has become the person Tie Mo relies on the most.
...
In the courtyard, the morning light shines on the branches, the dewdrops that have not yet fallen are shining with crystal light, and unknown birds are landing on the roof, singing beautiful songs.
A rain drove away the sweltering heat, and the air became much fresher. Old man Zhao opened the door with misty eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little moved when he saw the scene outside.
Tie Mo was still kneeling outside the door, but his lips were blue and his face didn't look too good.
"You brat, did you really kneel all night and not move?"
"Ahem...I said...if you don't agree, I won't get up..." Halfway through his words, Tie Mo felt his head getting heavier and heavier, and the scene in front of him became...
Blurred.
A wave of sleepiness came over me so hard that I couldn't hold it back, and I fell to the ground.
Old Man Zhao was so frightened that he threw away his crutch and hugged Tie Mo. He reached out and touched Tie Mo's forehead and sighed deeply in his heart.
"Hey, your temper is just like my temper. Why are you so stubborn?"
My forehead was hot, obviously from the cold.
Old man Zhao had no choice but to call Nunu out, and the two of them moved the unconscious Tie Mo into the house. Not long after, they asked Zhou Dingshan to find the doctor.
After the doctor arrived, he checked and prescribed some medicine. Tie Mo's health was not serious, but the wind and cold were a bit serious, so he had to take good care of himself.
When Zhou Dingshan sent the doctor out, he glanced back at Old Man Zhao. Fortunately, Brother Tie was fine, otherwise he would have had to give the old man a taste of military sticks.
...
When I opened my eyes again, I was lying on a soft bed, with a pink and jade-carved cheek in front of my eyes, and there was even something licking my face.
Feeling the familiar warm tongue, Tie Mo quickly shrank in, "Mengmeng, get out."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Mengmeng let out a strange cry, jumped onto the bed lightly, lay down next to her and took a nap.
Nunu was overjoyed to see Tie Mo wake up, but before he could say a few words, Old Man Zhao entered the room with a sullen face. Tie Mo lifted the quilt and got out of bed without saying a word.
Old Man Zhao was very surprised and said coldly: "What do you want to do?"
"Keep kneeling outside!"
"You brat, just be okay. If you faint again, will that Nunu girl take my life?"
Tie Mo looked happy and said anxiously: "Mr. Zhao, do you mean you agree?"
Old man Zhao pulled up a stool and sat beside the bed, his brows filled with sadness.
"Hey, I also have my own difficulties. My skills are all inherited from my family. There is a rule since my ancestors!"
"Family education is passed down within the family, not to the outside, and it is passed down from male to female. Don't you think you are embarrassing me?"
Tie Mo also frowned. These rules have existed since ancient times.
"Mr. Zhao, I still don't know your name. Can you tell me your name?"
"My husband Zhao Jinrong, my father Zhao Shizhen!"
"who?"
Zhao Shizhen?
Hearing this name, Tie Mo felt his head buzzing and felt like a thunderbolt struck his head.
