Chapter 17 The sullen old man
In the early morning, the sun rises over the East Mountain, and a ray of sunlight pierces the sky, and a magnificent morning glow appears. The rooster crow woke up the sleeping people, the wisps of cooking smoke came from the stalls, and the busy day officially began.
The sons and daughters of the Xiji Martial Arts Hall also got up early, went to the cafeteria to eat breakfast, and then began the day's training.
There was a slightly chubby one in the son, and I saw that he was tall and round-faced, with a puffed mouth, a flat nose, and two eyes that seemed to be looked down upon by anyone. Of course, the one who can have this momentum belongs to the child king, and this child's name is Yi Bai.
I saw Yi Bai sitting heavily on the chair, and the two pieces of flesh on his face trembled, as if he had been greatly wronged since the morning.
"Hmph, I get angry when I think about it, why do all the freshmen this year go to the East Courtyard and leave us in this dilapidated West Courtyard," Yi Bai said angrily in the tone of an adult, but the child's milky voice was still quite sharp.
"Big guy, don't be so loud, wait for Coach Gauss to hear about it and be punished again, saying that we are stingy. β
All the younger brothers chimed in: "Yes, yes"
Yi glanced at them in vain, pouted, took a breath, and whispered: "But, it's just angry!" When he spoke, his little hand didn't forget to rub his stomach with a slight fist, as if he was trying to find someone to vent.
"Big guy, not everyone went to the East Courtyard, Yesterday Coach Gauss brought one to our West Courtyard, but it seems that he was arranged to be a miscellaneous worker. β
"Oh, wait a minute, the miscellaneous servants can come to our western courtyard, so wouldn't it be that the people in our western courtyard are not as good as the miscellaneous servants. Yi Bai's eyes widened, and he said with a look of sudden understanding of something.
"Why don't we educate that handyman, give him a little color, and don't let him look down on us. β
Hearing this, Yi Bai snorted and nodded frequently, already acquiescing to this.
Sometimes, children are so naΓ―ve and unreasonable when they don't make sense of logic.
Behind the kitchen is the wood-splitting place, and in addition to the firewood house, there is a small bungalow that can accommodate two or three people.
This small bungalow, a table, a bed, a stove, a cabinet, is a home, for a long time only one old man lived, the daily task is to chop firewood for the west courtyard, usually the kitchen staff are stopped in the firewood room to get firewood, almost no one comes here.
No, suddenly an uninvited guest came.
At this time, the boys' handyman, whom the children had called, was also waiting in the back of the kitchen, and he had been sent to this little bungalow yesterday, and the old man had put up a bed for him and stayed there.
If Yibai and their conversation were heard by Luo Er, Luo Er Ke would wonder, it was really a disaster, how could he have offended the little snake here for some reason.
When Rohr got up, he sat on the wood outside the house, looking fixedly at the old man in front of him.
I saw that the old man was dressed in a loose and simple long coat to wrap himself tightly, with his head bowed, and his long black and white messy hair covered his face, but he could still see that he seemed to have been burned by fire, the dark red, the green tendons like earthworms drilling on it, the left half of his face was almost distorted, the right side of his face was also frosty, his two eyes were even more godless, and his left hand was wearing a worn glove, giving people the feeling that he had walked through any road in the world, and there was no nostalgia anymore, and he had to get by here.
Although this old man is like this, but his hands and feet are still very sharp, he picked up the stake with his left hand and put it on the ground, and his right hand is an axe to go down, and the axe is open under the wood, and there is no time when the wood is connected, it is really fast, accurate, and ruthless standards.
Rohr remembered the scene when Gauss had brought him here last night.
On the way here, Gauss had already told Rohr that the old man in front of him was called Lun Ai, and what he looked like, although Luo Er was already mentally prepared at that time, but the moment he saw Lun Ai, he was still frightened.
At the same time, it may not be only Rohr who was frightened, but Lun Ai was also startled when Gauss said that he would arrange this Rol to live with him here, and his face was extremely embarrassed, as if Lun Ai was used to the single world and did not want anyone to appear in front of him.
But Lun Ai nodded reluctantly and said yes.
Yesterday was a night of suffering for both Rohr and Len Ai. Lun Ai felt like a little boy's world suddenly broke into a little girl, which made Lun Ai's heart beat wildly, and he couldn't talk to Rohr.
And Luo Er felt like he had fallen into an abyss, in this dark room, he couldn't see his fingers, and there was an old man with a demonic face sleeping on the bed next to him, and his heart was also pounding, he was afraid that the old man would suddenly get up and kill himself.
The two were silent all night, and they both wondered why Gauss had sent Rohr here.
Rohr stared at Lunai's work with those huge dark circles, and he felt less terrible when he looked at Lunai now, perhaps because of the candlelight at night.
At this time, Luo Er fantasized that he imagined that Lun Ai in front of him was a peerless master, just like the sweeping monk described in Mr. Jin Yong's "Dragon Babu", he lived a life of isolation, and then met himself, opened up the second pulse of Rendu for himself, and transmitted all his skills to himself, and then he was a master who was invincible all over the world, and then came to marry Bai Fumei, and then walked to the peak of his life.
Thinking of this, Rohr smiled lewdly and inadvertently wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
Lunai noticed that Rohr was wiping his saliva, thinking that Rohr was hungry, and then hurriedly turned his head, pretending not to see, but there was a storm in his heart.
This child seems to be hungry, how can I tell him that there is food in the house, will he be afraid of me? What should I do?
After a "crackle, crackle" sound, Rohr looked at the sharp wooden block under the crotch of his pants in fear, the wooden block crossed a deep mark from the ground before being inserted upside down on the ground.
Seeing this, Lun Ai hurriedly stepped forward and comforted: "I'm sorry, kid, I didn't mean that, there is food in the house, you go and eat, eat well and rest." "It was the first time that Lenai had been so close to Rohr, and it made him dance and speak incoherently and comically.
It turned out that this wooden block was Lun Ai's carelessness for a while, and it was crooked when he split the wood, causing the wooden block to be inserted upside down.
And when Luo Er saw Lun Ai at such a close distance, and saw Lun Ai's appearance as if he had been burned, he unconsciously dodged back, his hands were on the ground and he kept trembling, afraid that Lun Ai would take a step forward, and hurriedly said: "I...... I'm fine, I'll go to the house and eat now. With that, Rohr pressed his trembling legs and walked quickly into the room.
Seeing that Luo Er was fine, Lun Ai smiled with relief, and then thought happily in his heart: Haha, I talked to this child, scared me to death, and thought that this child would be unreasonable and crying, but fortunately I knew that this child was hungry, and tempted him with food in time, I was so smart, hahaha.
Then, Lun Ai continued to work, but his eyes were no longer so ungodly, and the arrival of Rohr seemed to bring him a new life, and the corners of his mouth raised a smile, although the appearance was no longer so terrifying, but so poignant.
