Chapter 018: Old Man

As soon as he entered the door, a hot breath came to his face, and the hot air was mixed with the aroma that kept pouring in, which made people can't help but have an appetite, and even Li Zheng couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Li Zheng stood beside Fan Shiye, and before he could open his mouth to order wontons, he glanced at the corner of his eyes at random, and saw the back of the waiter who was packing, he felt a little familiar, so he looked at it twice, and then realized that this was not the child?!

He quickly pulled Fan Shiye's arm, leaned into his ear, and said in a suppressed voice, "Look, isn't that?"

Fan Shi also followed his gaze, and he saw it at once, the two hit it off, and they didn't plan to ask for any wontons immediately, just staring at the small figure.

Seeing the child walking away with a bowl of packed wontons, they carefully followed behind, and then saw the child walking away with a stuffy head, and in a short time he got into an alley.

Li Zheng was also quite familiar with the road here, and hurriedly pulled Fan Shi to follow, at this time the child was already standing at the gate of a small courtyard, carrying a blunt wonton with one hand, rubbing his ears with the other, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

The two of them also walked all the way, and they were also a little out of breath at this time, staring at the child's movements while resting against the wall.

Li Zheng glanced twice, pulled the corner of Fan Shiye's clothes, and whispered, "What are you going to do in a while?"

"Huh?" Fan Shi was also stunned for a moment, and then understood what he was going to ask, "I don't have any ideas, what do you say?"

"Of course I want to get the jade back, and now it's mine. When Li Zheng said this, the corners of his slightly frivolous eyes were dyed with a layer of light red, and Fan Shi unconsciously turned his gaze away.

Fan Shi didn't hear what he said behind him, nodded and was about to move forward, when the situation ahead suddenly changed.

It turned out that the boy waited for a short time and did not see anyone come out, and the more he waited, the more anxious he became, so he kicked the door open and rushed in regardless of it.

Li Zheng and Fan Shi were also startled, the two of them almost didn't have to think, they subconsciously followed in, and as soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw the child standing in the courtyard scratching his head embarrassedly, and there was a thin old man in his sixties standing beside him.

The old man was also stunned when he saw the two of them, and then asked a little puzzledly, "You have something to do with me?"

Fan Shi was just about to say that we weren't looking for you, but before she could speak, she felt that the corner of her clothes was being pulled, and then she heard Li Zheng say, "Old man, we met last time, do you remember?"

The old man frowned, "When?"

As soon as the kid heard Li Zheng's words, he thought that this was another one who came to set up, and he had a seizure at that time, pointing at the two of them and saying unceremoniously: "I dare to love you two not to chase that jade, but to find Grandpa Bai, I advise you to leave as soon as possible, otherwise I will be unkind to you!"

Although the child is small, he is very imposing when he speaks, and Li Zheng laughed for a while, and he was embarrassed at this child, and he will definitely have a future in the future.

But before he could say sarcastically, the old man glanced at him, and he was not angry and arrogant at a glance, and the child who watched subconsciously shrank his neck and walked quickly inside with the wontons.

"What jade?"

The child froze in place, busy with the camera replay, turned back little by little, and said, "I, I don't know." ”

"Oh. The old man glanced at him nonchalantly, turned to Li Zheng and said, "Come in, it's a little cold outside." ”

Li Zheng nodded, and hurriedly pulled Fan Shi into the room, he was almost frozen, okay!

The inside and outside of the house behave very differently, and those who don't know think they've crossed over. The outside of the house is obviously lacking in repair, it looks a little dilapidated, and it can even be imagined that such a house will leak rain in the summer, but the inside is different, and the obviously Ming and Qing style furniture occupies most of this cramped space, and even the bedroom that is separated from the inside, from this side, is the kind of ancient stepping bed.

Li Zheng was a little surprised, but he didn't show it, but Fan Shi also glanced at it, raised his hand and knocked on the black and red table, and asked, "This is Xiaoye Rosewood?"

The old man glanced at him a little surprised, but he didn't think he could see it, but thought that it was the blind cat that hit the dead mouse, and he didn't follow him at the moment, but asked Li Zheng instead, "You said that I saw you last time, when was it?"

Li Zheng saw that the old man didn't let them sit, and he was embarrassed to sit down, so he only smiled and said, "When we were in the flood last time, we went to the scene with my father, and there were several drainage channels blocked, and water could not be discharged in several places. ”

The old man was surprised this time, "You were there that day?"

"But we didn't do anything to help, but we saw that you went over and ordered a few places, and then the water was clear. What Li Zheng said was the truth, and the old man did not refute it, just at this moment the child came over with a large porcelain bowl, and it was the steaming blunt in it.

"Grandpa Bai, eat quickly, these two people will let me send it away. The child crossed his arms, his eyes full of disdain.

The old man took the wonton and took a sip of soup first, stared at Li Zheng several times, and suddenly asked, "Then what are you here for?"

"I ......" Li Zheng thought that he would find an opportunity to explain his intentions, but he didn't expect that before he could speak, the old man said it himself, which caught Li Zheng off guard, "That...... I also call you Grandpa Bai, I am 16 this year, I call you grandpa, and you will not suffer. ”

The old man was eating wontons, but when he heard what he said, he almost choked.

Li Zheng scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Why don't you eat first, and we'll talk about it after eating?"

The old man glanced at the two of them, "Sit down." ”

Li Zheng and Fan Shi also glanced at each other, as if they were amnestied, Li Zheng wanted to sit down directly regardless of it, and Fan Shi was also quickly pulled to the round stool on the other side.

Li Zheng glanced at where the old man was sitting, and then realized that no one had sat down in his own house, and if he dared to sit down directly just now, maybe the old man would dare to bomb them out directly.

secretly scolded himself for being reborn once and not growing at all, and suddenly he was a little embarrassed, and silently turned his head away.

The old man saw all this in his eyes, and then ignored them, he finished the bowl of wontons in three or two bites, put down the bowl, wiped his mouth and stood up, "I'm a rough person, I don't know what you're looking for me for, but I think you should be disappointed." I don't have anything here, and you can't afford to pay for your meal, so you should leave early while it's not cold outside. ”

The kid ran out of it, "See, my Grandpa Bai said, I can't teach you, let's go quickly." ”

When the old man heard what he said, he immediately frowned, but Li Zheng couldn't hold back his laughter, and Fan Shi was a little confused when he looked at him.

"Thank you. Li Zheng smiled slightly, "What's your name?"

"I won't say it!" the child seemed to realize that there was something wrong with what he had just said, and stood aside and said no more.

At this time, Li Zheng glanced at the old man and said deliberately: "If you say it, the money before will be treated to you for snacks, but if you don't say it......"

The child's face really changed, his cheeks puffed out, and he glared at Li Zheng angrily, as if he had some deep hatred.

Li Zheng's inexplicable mood became much better, hooking his lips, like a raccoon cat stealing food.

Fan Shi has also been secretly paying attention to him, and when he saw his expression, he was suddenly a little uncontrollable, as if the cat had grabbed his heart all of a sudden, he grabbed it unconsciously, and then realized that he seemed to have done something, and suddenly his face was stained with a layer of confusion, and the tips of his ears were unconsciously red.

Li Zheng didn't know anything about this, pinched his fingers, and said, "How about it, snacks and repayment, you can choose one, right?"

"I didn't take it!" the child still refused to admit it, but his expression had already exposed his weakness, a pair of small hands unconsciously grabbed his pockets, Li Zheng glanced at it casually and did not speak.

The more he didn't admit it, the happier Li Zheng became, anyway, the money wasn't his, and Yu was ...... Oh no, the jade is already his.

"Okay, okay, if you don't give the money, forget it, just treat you to a snack, but you have to get it back. Li Zheng seemed to be a little compromised, looked at the old man and said, "This is a gift from the family, and it is difficult to explain if you lose it, what do you say?"

The child looked at the old man in a daze, hoping that he could help him speak, but how could the old man at this time protect him again, and only said in a cold voice: "If you take it, you will return it to others." ”

The old man didn't say anything serious, but these words fell into the child's heart like a talisman, and he could even imagine that the next thing that greeted him would definitely be a stew of bamboo shoots.

With a bitter face, he took out a piece of pale cyan jade from his pocket, and could vaguely see the auspicious cloud ornament carved on it, the jade material was good, but the lanyard was very rough, and the simplest black rope was used, Li Zheng felt miserable at a glance, this kind of rope just didn't wait for others to steal, and it would fall off if he wore it, right?

After Fan Shi also took it, he put it in his pocket casually, and he didn't look at them, he got up and was about to leave, but seeing that Li Zheng didn't move, he looked at him suspiciously.

Li Zheng also got up at this time, "That...... That white grandpa, we won't bother you. ”

Old man Bai was a little unhappy when he saw that they were about to leave as soon as they got the jade, "The little friend is willing to leave like this?"

Li Zheng understood the implication of this old man's words, you are afraid that there is more to it than that, either you know each other and say it quickly, or you don't come back when you leave.

Li Zheng's heart went up and down, looked at Fan Shiye, then at the old man, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "My father wants to learn urban planning, and I think you are a very good master, so I plan to ask you to help him?"

"Just help?" Old Man Bai suddenly felt very interesting, this kid said "Master" in the previous sentence but said "help" in the latter sentence, did he know that he would not accept apprentices?

In fact, Li Zheng really didn't think about it so much, whether to accept apprentices or not is another matter, the key is that it is already an unexpected joy to see him, he doesn't believe that he comes to grind every day, and he can't beat this strange old man?

But after the old man asked again at this time, he felt as if he had been fooled, but at this time he had no better way, not to say anything, or to go downhill?

Li Zheng sighed in his heart, and said ruthlessly: "Just help!"

As soon as these words fell, there was a loud sound, not only Fan Shi also looked at him in surprise, but even the old man Bai and the child looked at him in surprise, the former felt that how could he be willing to admit it, and the latter lamented that he had missed an opportunity that others had dreamed of.

However, Li Zheng didn't have any other thoughts, as if he was afraid that the old man would not believe it, so he repeated, "It's really just good to help, if you can help, if you can't...... Then I beg you to be able to do it?"

Old man white: "......"

Fan Shiye: "......"

Child: "......" or you are thick-skinned, in the end, I am not cultivating enough, not enough!
