Chapter Ninety-Eight: Strange Old Man

The old man is not tall and thin, and the clothes on his body are patches and patches, which are difficult to describe in a uniform color, which is rare to see nowadays. The most surprising thing is the old man's face, only the red nose and black eyes are the facial features that can be clearly distinguished, and the rest are covered by gray hair, and the whole face looks like a large kiwi in the deep mountains from a distance.

With such a face, no wonder Xiao Song was frightened, if he appeared at night, it would be like a fake mandrill. The old man sat there smoking a cigarette leisurely, and a big bamboo pole stretched out into the river at his feet, as if he was fishing for something. Xiao Song's exclamation did not disturb the old man's mood, and it was not until he saw Li Tianchou that the old man smiled, revealing his big yellow teeth.

"Hello, old man. We passed by, didn't bother you, right?" We can't freeze here, not to mention that the old man may be the owner of the hut in front of him, so Li Tianchou took the initiative to greet with a smile.

"Don't bother, weren't you going to visit me just now? "The old man is not in a hurry, but the language is a little disadvantageous, and it doesn't sound like a local accent, is this old man floating from out of town?

The old man's ears are very good, he heard all the conversation with Xiao Song just now, Li Tianchou nodded politely, "It turns out that the old man is the owner of that house, it's really a coincidence, I just want to visit." ”

"The two children looked at the noodles, don't you live in this piece?" the old man replied, but he kept fiddling with the bamboo pole in his hand, and suddenly shouted, "Grass, it's really difficult!"

Li Tianchou didn't know why, and was thinking about the wording, but was preempted by Xiao Song, "We don't live here, we come to see our relatives." ”

Kiwi nodded, suddenly her eyes turned up, and she muttered to herself, "That rabbit cub doesn't have any relatives?" and turned his head to look at the river, no longer paying attention to the two, obviously the things in the river are more important.

Who is the rabbit cub? Could it be Uncle Hai? Li Tianchou was a little embarrassed, and looked at Xiao Song, "The old man is busy, so we won't bother, and we'll visit another day." As he spoke, he touched Xiao Song's hand and motioned to leave.

"It's still a male doll to be honest, it's not bad to be careful, just now I saved the female baby, and there are two more hits in my hands. The old man didn't look back, but this sentence surprised Li Tianchou, no wonder he always felt that there were a pair of eyes staring around, it turned out to be this kiwi, such a big age, I couldn't see it. I don't know where this person came from?

"Haha, I finally got it!" the old man laughed suddenly, and the end of the bamboo pole hung tightly in the river, and it was already bent, as if he had caught a big fish, or hooked something on the bottom of the water.

Li Tianchou was taken aback by this kiwifruit, his curiosity suddenly rose, and he deliberately provoked him with words, "The old man has won the award, and you are always a real person who doesn't show up." ”

"Yes, don't be modest. Aha, excessive modesty is pride. The old man twisted his face and smiled, except for the trembling beard, he could hardly see the smile, "Don't be in a hurry to leave, do Lao Tzu a favor." ”

"The old man told me that I would do my best. The old man didn't seem to have any malicious intent, so Li Tianchou was not ambiguous, but he was secretly on guard and did not relax his vigilance.

"Am I really old, do you open your mouth and close your mouth, are you annoyed?" The old man was suddenly very unhappy, and stood up with a brush, quite neatly, "You help me pull the bamboo pole, and I pull it in front." ”

Li Tianchou nodded in agreement, the old man picked up the bamboo pole and dragged it back, the other end of the bamboo pole was exposed to the water, it turned out that a thick rope was tied at the end, and the rope was pulled straight, I don't know what it was underwater.

"Hold on, work hard. After the old man finished speaking, he took two steps forward, spat at the palm of his hand, and grabbed the tip of the bamboo pole. Xiao Song frowned when he saw it, and he didn't know if it was the kiwi's super perceptual ability or a coincidence, the old guy actually turned his head and grinned at Xiao Song.

"One, two, three, up!" the old man shouted, full of energy, and at the same time his arms were struggling, and he had the potential to pull mountains and rivers. Li Tianchou didn't dare to slack off, although his body had not fully recovered, it was not too bad to take a hand.

The old man's eyes were about to pop out, and he finally reached out and grabbed the rope, but the underwater thing did not swim and struggle, it should not be a living thing, this thing is so heavy, I don't know what treasure the old man has picked up. Xiao Song curiously opened his eyes on the shore and didn't blink.

When things finally came up, it turned out to be a broken iron box the size of a square stool, rusty, covered with green moss, and almost falling apart, and black water flowed from the broken corners of the box, and the smell was stinking. Not only was Xiao Song disappointed, but Li Tianchou also panted and shook his head.

Kiwi couldn't help but be overjoyed, dancing happily. The broken iron box was placed on the shore, and the old man made a slurping sound while walking around the box, as if he had dug up a big ingot.

There shouldn't really be any gold and silver treasures in this box, right? Li Tianchou had this thought, and the kiwi turned his head as if he really had a feeling, and laughed dryly, "Thank you today, little friend, please drink with the girl doll another day." There was a send-off in his words, obviously not wanting the two of them to see the contents of the box.

"Okay, let's visit another day. Li Tianchou said as soon as he dragged Xiao Song to leave.

The old man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted, "Get out of here!" scared Li Tianchou and Xiao Song. Following the prestige, not far from the bushes, a stocky figure came out, and it turned out to be the little flat-headed Ah Hao.

Ah Hao's face was embarrassed, and he nodded at the old man first, "Uncle Qin, hehe, how are you old man." He looked at Li Tianchou and Xiao Song embarrassedly, and said twice, speechless.

"Good Nima's head, how many times is this?Ah? Go back and tell Geng Xiaowu and that bald man, and next time, I will demolish his house at the old man's house. "The kiwi is furious.

Ah Hao didn't reply, just a vigorous smile to explain, "This time it's definitely not, the conscience of heaven and earth." My uncle was afraid that they would get lost, so he asked me to watch. I didn't want to meet you when you are old, it's a complete misunderstanding, you are old and extinguish the fire, eliminate the fire. ”

The old man glared at Ah Hao, turned his head to look at Li Tianchou and Xiao Song again, and suddenly waved his hand, very impatient, "Get out, get out of me!"

"Hey, you old man, why are you like this? When you turn your face, you turn your face, when you asked for help just now......" Xiao Song became angry, but was dragged by Li Tianchou, his eyes turned fierce, and he choked back the second half of the sentence.

Ah Hao said "hey, hey" twice and didn't move, his eyes never left Li Tianchou and Xiao Song.

Li Tianchou probably understood what he meant, as long as the two of them didn't leave, Ah Hao would never leave. He hurriedly turned his head to the old man and said, "Let's take our leave first, I really don't mean to offend." He waved at Ah Hao again, "Let's go." ”

"Hmph, let's go!" Kiwi didn't buy it, but was obviously much more polite to Li Tianchou in his words.

On the way back, Ah Hao didn't shy away from it, following the two of them, but he didn't talk much. Li Tianchou and Xiao Song didn't talk much, and they returned to Uncle Hai's house all the way in a dull way.

As soon as I entered the courtyard gate, I saw a middle-aged woman with five big and three thick clothes washing vegetables, full of two large pots. This is the first woman Li Tianchou has seen here other than Xiao Song, and when he was surprised and didn't know how to greet him, Ah Hao behind him shouted, "Auntie." ”

The woman looked up, grinned and nodded, "I'm back." "The three words are very blunt, and obviously I don't speak Mandarin.

Seeing this, Li Tianchou and Xiao Song also hurriedly shouted, "Auntie." The woman was very happy, and her mouth grew wider, and she kept nodding, "Oh, hey, sit inside." ”

Could it be Uncle Hai's wife? Li Tianchou went upstairs in confusion, while Xiao Song stepped forward very enthusiastically to help wash the vegetables, and soon chatted with the woman enthusiastically.

......

At Lanwan International Airport, Brother Qiang, dressed in black, walked out of the departure channel of the terminal, still wearing a pair of sunglasses. Tang Shiming, who was standing at the entrance of the passage, waved his hand to Brother Qiang, the two smiled at each other, and walked out of the terminal together after a courtesy hug.

"Brother, get a tan. Tang Shiming cautiously joked.

"Hehe, so it's still the climate here. "Brother Qiang seems to be in a good mood.

"So, can my brother stay longer when he comes back this time?"

"What's the matter? The old turtle and the old Wang Ba can't stand it when they climb out?" Brother Qiang suddenly changed his words, and the black lenses still couldn't block his cold gaze.

Tang Shiming couldn't help but shudder, and smiled dryly, "Where, even if a thousand-year-old demon crawls out of the coffin, I will treat him as a fart." But if there is a brother behind me to cheer him on, then my brothers and I are more confident. ”

Brother Qiang frowned, feeling that Tang Shiming's confidence was insufficient, and he was very dissatisfied, he snorted coldly, strode forward, and stopped talking.

Tang Shiming knew that what he said was wrong, and a thin layer of cold sweat oozed from his forehead, so he had to follow cautiously.

The two quickly walked to the parking lot and got into the Mercedes SUV. Every time Brother Qiang goes back and forth, Tang Shiming personally picks him up, which has become a habit, but this time there are exceptions, and two commercial vehicles follow closely.

"Why do you want so many people? Geng Lao Wu and Wei Dahai can scare you like this?" Brother Qiang looked at the inverted mirror and became angry.

Tang Shiming knew that Brother Qiang was used to being alone, he liked to keep a low profile, and he was definitely unhappy with a large group of people behind him. But the recent situation is different, this time the robbery and killing of Geng Lao Wu failed, and the atmosphere has become quite tense.

The most terrible thing is that he also provoked a second pole, this bald man named Wei Dahai, was Geng Laowu's worship brother in the early years, he was reckless, never considered the consequences of doing things, and thought of where he was, he had a bad reputation on the road, and he was a person with a headache.

I don't know what the reason is, this person disappeared four or five years ago, and disappeared cleanly and completely, even when Geng Lao Wu announced his withdrawal from the rivers and lakes in a low-key manner three years ago, he didn't hear any voice from Wei Dahai. At this time, he jumped out again, obviously Geng Lao Wu had already prepared.

Tang Shiming knew very well that this time Geng Lao Wu suddenly made a high-profile attack, and almost moved into the nest, on the surface, he was entangled with Biao Qi, but the actual goal was very clear, that is, he and Brother Qiang. At this time, you must be more careful, especially to guard against this Wei bald man.
