Chapter 43 Sitting in the well and watching the sky

The two pushed open the courtyard door, and the old man greeted him warmly.

Only the boy was still chopping wood on the side, peeking at it with his eyes, and then pretending to move away as if nothing had happened.

Wan Feibai smiled, raised the meat and wine in his hand, passed by a vegetable stall today, I saw that the vegetables and meat were fresh, so I bought a little back, and there was a new plum wine, the taste is sweet, thinking that you are old, the spirits can't be drunk, but this plum wine is just right.

The old man said again and again, very good, very good, the altar is about to be opened, and the young man is a little unhappy when he sees it.

"Grandpa, even if it's plum wine, you can't drink it on an empty stomach, it's better to eat a few mouthfuls of food to fill your stomach first."

When he came over, he was about to take over the vegetables and meat in Wan Feibai's hands.

Wan Feibai smiled slightly, why don't I cook today and make a few side dishes for the old man to taste?

Do you still have this skill? The old man looks incredible, a noble son like you can cook?

Where is the noble son, it is just a gentleman in the middle of the family!

How can I do that? Let my grandson do it, "the gentleman is far away from cooking"! There is no reason to let the guests cook.

There is no distinction between high and low people in the world, men and women should be equal, and as a husband, they should bear more.

For such remarks, the ancestors and grandchildren were completely shocked, they had never heard such shocking remarks, and they had never thought about it, so from Wan Feibai's mouth, they were both shocked, only Bai Qianqian was full of smiles, and she really felt happy and satisfied at this moment.

In the shock of everyone, Wan Feibai carried something to the kitchen, and after a while, he remembered the sound of chopping bones.

Bai Qianqian didn't sleep well, for some reason, after coming to this small courtyard in this town, she felt extremely relieved, just like returning home, she said hello to the old man and returned to the room, and she fell asleep on the broken bed. She literally fell asleep.

When she woke up leisurely, she slept very sweetly, and after opening her eyes, she was dazed for a moment, and after a moment of daze, she got up and pushed open the door, and saw an old man and two young sitting at the dilapidated stone table in the courtyard outside the door, and the two younger ones were sitting quietly and did not speak. Just listening to the old man talk to him. After hearing Bai Qianqian's footsteps, Wan Feibai turned his head and smiled: "Wake up, see that you are sleeping deeply, I didn't call you before." ”

The old man looked at her with a smile, only the boy glared at her.

Bai Qianqian nodded, a little embarrassed, looking at the hour, it seemed that it was already evening, she said sorry, overslept, then we will have dinner!

The young man said angrily: "For the sake of you, let everyone wait for a long time to be hungry, and if you don't get up, the dish will be hot for the third time"!

Bai Qianqian stuck out her tongue.

The old man hurriedly scolded his grandson and said, "White girl, don't listen to Xiao Er's nonsense, good dishes are not afraid of being late,"

Bai Qianqian said thank you, turned her head to look at the young man, it turned out that your name was "Little Er?"

Well, good name!

I wanted to tease the boy, but I didn't expect the boy called Xiao Er to be happy, I also think I have a very good name, at least two is greater than three, Chen Sanshun next door is ranked third, I think I'm slightly better.

Bai Qianqian---------

Speaking kung fu, Wan Feibai has already put the wine and food on the table, there is chicken soup, the chicken is soft and chewy, and there is Wan Feibai's secret sauce beef, a stir-fried duck slices, a fried meat with bamboo shoots, and in addition to a green leafy dish, no matter the appearance and the aroma it exudes, it is mouth-watering to look at, and the index finger moves.

Wan Feibai served a bowl of chicken soup to everyone, and then sat next to Bai Qianqian.

The old man took a sip of chicken soup and said it was delicious, but he didn't expect the young man to look extraordinary, and he even knew fireworks, with such craftsmanship, I have a good mouth, old man.!

After taking a sip of the soup, I picked up the other dishes, and I was full of praise.

"The boy is gone, grandpa, is the food I usually cook so bad?"

You're cooking a vegetable? at most it's better than pig food, barely enough to fill your stomach.

The old man may be telling the truth, but the young man glanced at the food in front of him and was silent.

Bai Qianqian hurriedly rounded the field, Brother Wan cooked, and I will pour wine.

As soon as the plum wine was opened, the old man swallowed a mouthful of saliva violently, Bai Qianqian poured a bowl of wine for the old man, the old man took a sip of wine first, and tasted it slowly, this plum wine is really new, and there is a faint plum fragrance, good wine, good wine!

Next, the old man took a bite of food and a bowl of wine, no matter how Xiao Er stopped him, he sat on the side and sulked after eating.

Wan Feibai saw it, and secretly said to him, this plum wine has no strength, not to mention that I also mixed it with water!

Really, the boy's eyes sparkled.

Half of the wine was already drunk, and the old man said bluntly: "If you have something, just ask! I see that you are not evildoers, and the old man will try to tell you as much as I know." ”

The two glanced at each other, but they didn't expect the old man to be so discerning and transparent.

There is indeed something I want to ask your old man, Bai Qianqian said thoughtfully, you said that an old man stayed with you for one night a few months ago, if you guessed correctly, it should be my master, since the master left, it has been almost a year, and there has been no news recently, so we came to look for it, can the old man say it in detail, so that we don't have to look for a needle in a haystack, clueless.

The old man listened to Bai Qianqian's words, and his eyes flashed with suspicion, you won't lie to me, right?

Bai Qianqian laughed, my master, height ---, height is a hard injury, Bai Qianqian can't think of a better word, he is probably only a little taller than this stone table, she gestured, and after saying the biggest hard injury of the old man in Xuanjing, Bai Qianqian's language became fluent.

He has a black face and black hair, a wrinkled face, and a sloppy person, because he always likes to wear a black coat, and he is more eccentric, often saying some weird things, and likes to make some innocuous jokes, often when he speaks, people don't know what he says.

That's right, the old man slapped his thigh, isn't it weird?

The old man recalled.

I remember that day, I went to the mountains with my grandson Xiaoer to chop firewood and came back, before I got to the door of the house, I saw the old man sleeping on the firewood and grass stack outside our hospital, I was about to go up to ask him who he was, I was stopped by the shop guy in the town's Tongji Pharmacy, I asked for medicine money, the old man was a little embarrassed, I had a serious illness before, and there was not much money in my hand, and it was all on credit to eat,

One came and went, the more we owed, the more we owed, even though Xiao Er and I worked hard to collect firewood and make baskets to sell, but we couldn't fill this hole, and we paid back a little one after another, but it was still a lot worse.

After a long time, there are always people from the medicine hall who come to ask for it, and that time the store guy even brought a few fierce people to beg for it, and a mouth is ten taels of silver.

Bai Qianqian frowned and said, "What kind of medicinal herbs are Tongjitang, so expensive?!"

The old man said angrily: "Where did I use ten taels of silver for the medicine, and I only used three taels, but I paid back almost two taels one after another, and I didn't give one tael of silver."

Bai Qianqian said in a deep voice: "They are taking advantage of the fire to rob!"

It's not a robbery while it's hot, it's a big bully, there are only two pharmacies in our whole town, and the other one closed in less than a month under his suppression, and his family will open it again in this town, where else can he go if he doesn't grab the medicine?

The old man took another sip of wine, and those who have money can give it directly, and those who don't have money always have several times the interest in the end, but I didn't expect them to open their mouths so widely, this is bullying our grandfather and grandson without relying on it!

My grandson was also very angry at the time, so he reasoned with them, but they were so big that they were going to demolish our house, and we hurriedly went to stop us, and the gang was going to beat us.

Just then, a lazy voice came.

"It's so noisy, can't you sleep well?"

I was afraid that he would be troubled, so I hurriedly asked him to go, but he was also a tough old man, and if he didn't leave, the gang saw that he was not good-looking, black and short, and they wanted to beat him, so frightened that he squatted on the ground, held his head and said, "Can't I give them money?"

This group of people didn't believe him, but he really had money, and when he took it, it was a gold leaf, and the group took the gold leaf and left with a smile.

The old man went with me into the courtyard and stayed at my house for two days. That's my benefactor! The old man misses a little, I have never met such a good person.

Bai Qianqian chuckled, if I guessed correctly, that golden leaf must have been stolen back by my master, and then that Tongjitang is estimated to not exist now.

The old man slapped his thigh again, yes! The next day the shop somehow burned, and the fire was like a soul, and it couldn't be extinguished by pouring water on it, and something strange happened, and then the people of our town agreed that it was retribution.

When I came back and told your master, he was still surprised!

My master likes acting the most, Bai Qianqian understated it.

Now that I think about it, it really is, the old man continued, he was really weird, I said why are you so rich why do you run to the firewood and stomp to sleep?

He was uncomfortable at the guesthouse, and I was thinking, what a weirdo!

He also likes to joke that he wants to find an old woman to serve me, saying that our food is too unpalatable. I'm so old, what kind of wife do you think I'm looking for!

He is like this, Bai Qianqian smiled and leaned back, that is because you haven't lived with him for a long time, otherwise you will be confused by him every day.

Bai Qianqian burst into tears with a smile, but where is such a strange old man?

The old man thought she was laughing and burst into tears, and then said, "Isn't he weird?" I changed him with new sheets, but he didn't want it, and he said that the older and dirtier it is, the more comfortable it is, and there is a smoke of fireworks, and I don't even know what the smoke is.

Wan Feibai couldn't help but interject.

Later, he said that he was in trouble! He said that he was going to some northern land, to see for his disciples what his disciple's enemies looked like, and he went to fight the front station first, but he didn't make a move, but first went to weigh the one-horned king.

I thought he was talking nonsense again, and I didn't care, but by the way, I found a gold leaf under his needle after he left.
