563 Visiting Old Master Bai
The two of them arrived at a small courtyard. There were several different trees planted around the courtyard. Although it seemed haphazard, it made one feel more comfortable.
Wang Qi went forward and knocked on the courtyard door.
The sound of the metal knocker colliding with the wooden door was not loud, but it could be heard clearly in the relatively empty and quiet environment.
Soon, footsteps came from the small courtyard, followed by a tender voice, “Coming! Wait a moment!”
The footsteps were hurried, accompanied by the sound of shoes.
Just as Lin Yun was wondering if that person would fall if he ran so fast, a cry suddenly came from the courtyard, accompanied by the sound of objects colliding with the ground.
Lin Yun pursed her lips and muttered to herself, “It’s not me! It’s not my fault!”
Soon, footsteps sounded again, and the wooden door opened.
Lin Yun looked at the person who opened the door. It was a round-faced youth in his teens.
Lin Yun looked at his knees and saw two lumps of dust.
Wang Qi greeted the young man politely, “Hello, may I know if Grandpa Bai is at home?”
A silly smile appeared on the young man’s face as he said to Wang Qi, “Are you our guests? Grandpa has been waiting for a long time!”
The young man warmly invited the two of them in without even verifying their identities.
Wang Qi and Lin Yun looked at each other and walked into the courtyard.
There were a few old wax apple trees in the front yard with some plants around them.
When Lin Yun saw those plants, she paused slightly, but she did not ask further. She followed the young man to the backyard.
The courtyard was about 300 square meters and was divided into two chambers.
There were tables and chairs scattered in the front yard. Coupled with the wax apple trees and plants, it even looked a little dilapidated.
When the three of them arrived at the backyard, they saw a few huge medicine shelves that were close to three meters tall.
No wonder Lin Yun could smell the smell of medicinal herbs as soon as she walked nearby. So they were hidden here!
Behind the medicine shelves were several huge stones carved into various strange shapes.
The stones were placed in a disorderly manner. Some of them were placed at strange angles because they blocked the placement of the medicine shelves.
Lin Yun looked at the exquisitely carved stones and couldn’t help but shake her head and sigh.
At this moment, an old man in white walked out and stared at Lin Yun. “Why are you sighing? Could it be that you have something against my small courtyard?”
When Lin Yun saw the old man ask, she immediately replied, “Of course not! No matter how exquisite some things are, in the eyes of those who don’t value them, they’re just useless trash!”
The old man narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Yun again before turning to Wang Qi, who was smiling. “You’re Old Man Wang’s granddaughter, right?”
“You look exactly like your grandfather!”
After the old man finished speaking, Wang Qi’s face instantly fell. “Grandpa Bai, even if you don’t want to praise me, you don’t have to say that!”
“What’s wrong? Are you starting to despise your grandfather?” Old Master Bai smiled. “I knew it. That old man is not close to his son and doesn’t like his daughter. Look, even his biological granddaughter dislikes him!”
Wang Qi sighed helplessly and took a few steps forward. “You! You should find time to say these words to my grandfather personally! He’s really bored these days!”
“I’m not going! I don’t like any of the people around him!” Old Master Bai said with disdain. “When he brought your unmarried father to look for me back then, I said that I would never see that brat again!”
“That’s right! From then on, only Grandpa can look for you!” Wang Qi said as she glanced at Old Master Bai’s reaction.
Old Master Bai smiled smugly as if he was very proud of this matter.
