Chapter 21 Li Kangping asks for help
At the dinner table, Grandma Xu and Grandpa Li were still sighing that the vegetables they grew were edible and they no longer had to go to the street to buy vegetables.
Yang Fan ate quietly beside him.
Today Grandma Xu made wontons, large wontons, each filled with a lot of meat.
The meat filling prepared by Grandma Xu tasted very delicious, and when paired with her homemade chili sauce, Yang Fan couldn't stop eating it.
Seeing her eating so happily, Grandma Li was happy but also reminded her to eat slowly.
"Yang Fan, the talisman you gave us seems to be really useful."
Grandma Xu suddenly remembered the calming talisman that Yang Fan gave them.
"Put your talisman under your pillow. I fell asleep very early yesterday and had a good sleep."
Grandpa Li nodded, "I slept well too."
Due to their age and old health problems, they often suffer from insomnia, have difficulty falling asleep at night, and wake up several times a night.
They fell asleep not long after they lay down on the bed last night, and slept until dawn, a rare sleep.
"As long as it's useful," Yang Fan said as she quickly swallowed the wonton in her mouth.
"Put it under your pillow when you sleep. The talisman will become ineffective in a week. I will replace it for you in a week."
Grandma Xu said happily, "Okay."
No matter whether it was true or false, she would not refuse the child's kindness, and the talisman paper was really useful.
"Yang Fan, did you really draw that talisman?" Grandpa Li was a little confused. "Can you really tell fortunes and draw talismans?"
There was only one wonton left in Yang Fan's bowl. She finished it in one bite and then nodded at Grandpa Li.
She really can!
Grandpa Li still didn't quite believe it. He wanted to ask more, but then his phone rang. A client wanted to take his car.
He quickly finished the last two wontons in the bowl and went out to ride his tricycle.
Yang Fan helped Grandma Xu pack up and went back with the empty basket.
Grandma Xu was the only one left at home. She sat on the sofa and took out her cell phone, wanting to call her children who were working in the city to share the good news that the vegetables grown in the field were edible.
She looked at the time on her phone and murmured, "It's only 9 o'clock. They must be at work. They are still waiting to come back in the evening..."
As she was speaking, her phone rang. It was her grandson Li Kangping, who worked in Beijing.
Grandma Xu was a little surprised that he called her at this time.
"Hey, Kang Ping..."
"Grandma, is Yang Fan at home?" Li Kangping's voice sounded a little anxious in the microphone.
Grandma Xu: "Yang Fan, she's at home, what's wrong?"
"Grandma, please help me find Yang Fan. I have something urgent to discuss with her!"
"Okay, okay, wait and don't hang up. Grandma will help you find it."
Grandma Xu rushed to Yang Fan with her cell phone in hand. She was very confused as to what Kang Ping wanted to talk to Yang Fan about.
On the other side, Yang Fan returned home and went straight to the backyard to find a backpack. She planned to pick some loquats to sell. There were the most loquats on the mountain, and after selling them all, she would buy a tricycle.
From now on, whether you go to the street to sell fruits or buy things, you will need a car.
Yang Fan walked onto the road carrying a backpack and met Grandma Xu who was looking for her.
"Yang Fan, wait a minute, my Kang Ping wants to see you about something."
"Brother Kangping?" Yang Fan hesitated for a moment before he remembered who the other person was.
"Yes, yes, Kang Ping called me and said he wanted to talk to you about something."
Yang Fan took the phone and said, "Hello." "Yang Fan?" An anxious male voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Yes, it's me, Brother Kangping."
"Yang Fan, please help me, that person still wants to kill me."
Li Kangping's voice was somewhat broken.
He was really about to collapse. For three days in a row, someone blocked him at the South Gate with a knife. Today he thought everything was fine, so he rode a shared bike to work in the morning. Fortunately, he reacted in time, otherwise he would have lost his life on the spot.
Grandma Xu’s cell phone is an old one with a very loud volume. Even though she is standing nearby, she can hear Li Kangping’s voice in the microphone.
Hearing that someone wanted to kill him, Grandma Xu asked him anxiously, "Kangping, what happened? Who wants to kill you?"
"Yang Fan, what's going on?"
Yang Fan said calmly, "Grandma Xu, don't worry, it's not a big deal, just calm down."
This involves killing people, and it’s not a big deal.
The strange thing was that her voice seemed to have some soothing power. Grandma Xu slowly calmed down, and when Li Kangping, who was on the other side of the microphone, heard her voice, the fear and anxiety in his heart instantly disappeared.
Yang Fan said into the phone: "Brother Kangping, three days have passed. It's okay. You have arrested all three people."
That day she could tell from Li Kangping's face that he was suffering from an unexpected disaster.
Those small vendors who made a living by setting up stalls had their stalls taken away by the urban management department through forceful law enforcement.
Those people were so angry that they wanted to take revenge, so there were people hiding there every day for the past few days.
Although those bikes were not taken away by Li Kangping, they belonged to the Urban Management Department, and he passed by there at that time every day on a shared bike. Those people only recognized the clothes and not the people, so he met with this unexpected disaster.
If he hadn't listened to her, he would have been killed by the man with the machete on the first day.
There are only three people in total. One of them is discovered and arrested every day. Today, the last one hurt Li Kangping, and that person has to go to jail.
Yang Fan roughly told him the reason of the incident on the phone. Hearing this, Li Kangping was a little angry, "It's not me who took their car away, how can you blame me for this."
Grandma Xu's face was full of worry, "Kangping, are you okay?"
"Grandma, I'm fine. I just got a cut on my hand. It's nothing serious."
"Oh, you're fine! You're injured. Did you go to the hospital?"
"I'm going, I'm going," Li Kangping called to Yang Fan, "Yang Fan, am I really okay later?"
Yang Fan said: "It's okay, don't worry."
She added: "If you are worried, I can draw a talisman and send it to you."
"Okay, okay, okay, please draw me a talisman and send it to me. I'm really scared."
Li Kangping said with lingering fear, "If I hadn't met you that day, I would have died by now."
"Puh, puh, puh!" Grandma Xu pouted several times in a row, "Don't say such unlucky words."
Yang Fan was amused by the old man's behavior. "Brother Kangping, please send me your address. I'm going to the town soon, so I'll send the amulet to you."
"Okay, I'll add your contact information and send it to you."
"it is good."
Yang Fan gave him her phone number and said, "Brother Kangping, I'm going to be busy now. Bye."
"Okay, go and do your work."
Yang Fan said to Grandma Xu, "Grandma Xu, I'm going to pick some fruit in the back. If you need anything, just call me."
"Okay, go slow and be careful, there are snakes up there."
"it is good."
