I had the same experience as the landlord, and it may be that the "demon wind" is quite familiar with me, so I just have a little bit of a cold, whether it is a cold or my head, it is heavy. After all, I am also an old friend with it, and since I was a child, with its care and help, I even feel that I am not afraid of the cold.

The landlord is now our rich man, Lin and I naturally have to hug him tightly, and the two of us have no complaints about the tea and water in the back of the hospital, and the landlord has lived up to expectations, and in just three days, he is alive again.

The first thing the landlord did after returning to normal was to ask me to contact the agent here, and then Lin and I went to see the building buildings again. Our actions are extremely fast, after all, in the eyes of the landlord, the house price here is the same as the cabbage he often eats, we only consider the like, lighting and quality, about the location and cost performance, we are not considering the scope at all.

Then we went to Bali Street, and the landlord said that there must be a car, so we went to see the car.

When we settled in, the landlord said we needed a bar and a teahouse. So we started to set up a bar and a teahouse.

Lao Liangtou was our first guest after coming to Guilin, his hair was already pale, in fact, it can't be said that his hair was pale, because he was bald, but it was not completely light, only the temples had a little prickly layer, and the white one was that layer.

The first time we saw him, he was in his seat at the bar door, and it was raining heavily, so we let him in, and he said, "No, it's going to wet your tiles and don't interfere with your business." In the end, he walked into the bar under the constant invitation of Lin and me, before entering the bar, he took off his coat, repeatedly wanted to pat off the rain on his coat, and took out a pack of paper towels from the inner pocket of his coat, he wanted to pull out one, but found that the first few were already wet, and a whole pack of paper towels was only left with the following ones, so he pulled it out and spread it on the ground, and the muddy shoes were rubbed repeatedly on the white paper, and there were one or two holes in the paper towels, and the muddy water on the leather shoes was also wiped dry, and he entered the bar.

He entered the bar and looked around, then headed for the corner.

"You drink something. I asked after I sat him down. He also replied a little shyly: "Let's have a glass of hot water first, and then I'll take a look at the wine list." ”

We didn't hire a band, but we did invite a girl with clear eyebrows, the girl was named Rollo, who had a wide vocal range, sometimes hoarse, sometimes bright. Lao Liangtou took the hot water and kept staring at the stage, I was sure that he was not staring at Rollo, but the way a man looked at a woman. Rolls-Roy's working hours are only two hours, and after Rolls-Royce gets off work, the bar relies on the computer to order songs.

Rolls-Royce would join us for a drink or two after work and a board game. And the hot water in Lao Liangtou's hand did not ask us again after drinking, I was full of curiosity about this man who sat in silence all night, I took a pot of water with a pot, and cut half a lemon into slices and brought it to him, he was a little flattered and stretched out his hands to catch the pot, and nodded hurriedly: "Thank you, thank you." ”

After giving him the water, I turned and walked away, and he trembled and filled his own cup, and drank it slowly by himself. At around twelve o'clock, Lao Liangtou slowly stood up with the armrest of the chair, walked to the table where we were playing games, and bent down slightly: "Hello, I want to ask me how much money I have consumed." He asked, and his hands fumbled with his coat.

"You don't need money, you can have a pot of water. I stood up and answered him with a smile. He nodded slowly and said, "Oh, thank you." He hesitated, and after thanking him, he turned and walked slowly to his table, and when he turned to leave, I sat down again and played a board game with them.

"Hey, you look at the table, and there's ten bucks on it. "The landlord went to clean up the table soon after Lao Liangtou left, it was late, we should also close, this kind of work is usually done by the landlord, he said that he didn't know anything about the bar except for drinking, so he was responsible for hygiene.

After I heard what the landlord said, I also walked out of the bar and walked to the table where Lao Liangtou was sitting in front of him: "Hey, this old man is strange, this pot of lemonade can have a lot of money, I told him that I don't need it, and I still have to keep it for myself." The landlord picked up the money and patted me on the shoulder: "Hey, you don't understand this, this is called exquisite." I smiled and walked away.

After that night, Lao Liangtou didn't come back for a while, and after nearly a month, the bar was still the same as usual, except that some customers wanted to see the new bar, or maybe those people just felt that they needed such a quiet place.

It was a month before I saw him again, and this time it didn't rain. We had just had dinner and were about to open for business, and the landlord was mopping the floor, and Lao Liangtou sat down at the table at the door again. When the landlord saw this, he ran to the back of the bar and called me: "Li'er, the old man came again last time." I was stunned when I first heard it, but the landlord saw that I didn't react, and continued: "Just last time, ten yuan, lemonade." I nodded, "Remember, didn't he come in?" "I had just mopped the floor, and I saw him wander around the doorway for a while, then peeked inside, and then sat down in the doorway. ”

I walked out of the bar, Lao Liangtou was still sitting in the same seat last time, I walked over and asked him, "Why are you sitting here again, why don't you go in." He looked up at me and cautiously asked, "Am I affecting your business?" I hurriedly replied: "It doesn't affect it, no matter who comes, we are welcome, you can go in and sit, it's cold outside." He looked into the bar, where the landlord was still mopping the floor, and then looked at me again and said, "I'll just sit there and disturb you." I directly helped him up: "Where are you talking, we are all customers when we open the door to do business, please come in quickly, please come in." He couldn't resist me, so he followed me to the bar.

He walked to the door, looked at the floor inside the bar, and there were still traces of it that had just been mopped, and he stopped, and I asked, "Why don't you go in." He tapped me on the shoulder: "Wait. After saying that, he took out a pack of tissues from his pocket, took out a few and spread them on the ground, and rubbed them a few more times with his foot. He didn't move much, but the tissue still broke a big hole. He pulled out a few more tissues and bent down to wipe the vamps of his shoes. The leather shoes are still the same as last time, but they are much older than the original. I stood on the side and waited for him, and when all this was done, he slowly straightened up, stood up straight, and pointed forward with his hand: "Let's go, let's go." ”

When I entered the bar, he walked back to the same position as before, and when I entered the bar, I shouted to the bar: "Lin, wine list." After Lin brought the wine list to the table, I asked Lao Liangtou, "What do you want to drink?" He took the wine list and looked up again, still cautiously asking me, "Can I be the same as last time?" I nodded, "Of course, don't you need anything else?" He looked at the wine list and then looked up at me, in the same cautious tone, "Can I just have a jug of water?" "I saw that even though he was talking to me, his hand was stealthily grasping his pocket. I smiled and replied to him, "Of course, wait a minute. He was relieved to hear my answer: "Trouble." I didn't answer him, smiled and went to fetch him water.

After pouring water on Lao Liang's head, I asked Lin to take two more glasses of vodka. I walked towards Lao Liangtou with vodka, walked to him, he saw my arrival, stopped drinking, put down the glass and stood up, nervously asked me, "Is there something wrong?" I smiled: "Sit down, come, have a drink." I sat down and pushed a glass of wine in front of him, he hesitated for a moment, took a sip of the glass, "tsk", he smacked his lips after sipping, and nodded again. I smiled and asked him, "Why don't you order wine?" He shook his hand, I didn't ask again, raised the wine glass in front of him, he was stunned, and also raised the wine in his hand and touched it with me, I drank it all: "You drink slowly, call me if you need anything." I finished and left, staring at the glass of wine in his hand.

We were still playing games at that table, and we were playing at different tables every day, so much so that there were countless moments when we wanted to change the bar to a board game. Lao Liangtou was still the same as the first time, slowly stood up with the handrail, walked to our table, still bent down slightly and asked me, "How much is it this time." I stood up and shook my hand: "I invited you for that glass of wine, and that pot of water was you overpaid last time, or didn't you want it." When he heard this, he muttered, "Oh, I still don't want money." He muttered and turned and walked back to his desk.

I kept sneaking my eyes at him, and he sat in the corner looking out the window, and it was the same silent night.

He took out some bits and pieces of paper money from his pocket, many, many, all crumpled together, one, five, all denominations, but the largest was also fifty, and I vaguely saw that there was only one of fifty. He unfolded the crumpled lump of money one by one, and he picked up the wine list in front of him again, looking at something, flipping through it. After a while, he picked up the wine glass with trembling hands, and took out a twenty, ten, and five from the pile of banknotes, and pressed them under the glass. He put the money under his glass, folded the rest of it one by one and put it in his pocket, and when he had done that, he got up and walked to the door.

After he left, I went to clean up his table, the wine list turned to the page of vodka, there were only three types of vodka retail in the store, the retail price was twenty-five glasses, I smiled and shook my head, and the landlord also came over: "Hey, look at you, look at hey, what is exquisite, what is angry." I handed the landlord the money and towels, smiled and shook my head and walked back to the bar.

I became interested in this strange old man and looked forward to his next arrival.

Before the Chinese New Year, the landlord's parents took his eldest brother to immigrate in the early years, and the landlord said that he missed the old days, so he didn't follow, and he didn't want to go back to Beijing when his parents were not in China. Lin's parents also became "old men" because of huge debts, and even Lin didn't know where they were when they hid out, so Lin also spent the New Year in Guilin, and my parents and I didn't attach so much importance to these traditional festivals, plus I often went back to see them after I returned to Guilin, so there is no difference between going back for the New Year and not going back, after all, reunion is not only possible on the day of Chinese New Year's Eve.
