"Excuse me, are you ......" The man turned his head and looked at Zheng Ke suspiciously.

Zheng Ke bowed slightly, looking at the person in front of him, who was about fifty or sixty years old, with a small handful of beard on his chin, which was a little gray, but the wrinkles on his face were not too obvious.

The old man was not too tall, and his body was relatively thin, and he was slightly hunchbacked, making him look a little like a monkey.

"Teacher,I'm Zheng Ke from Yuanyue School Park.,I saw the note you put on the table.,I'm coming to look for you.。 Zheng Ke said softly.

"Oh. Are you Zheng Ke?" the old man's eyes were much brighter, and he looked at Zheng Ke with a little surprise.

"Yes. ”

"You've been here before?" asked the old man, puzzled.

"I haven't been back home for years. Zheng Ke said softly.

"Well—" the old man touched his goatee, "how did you know I was here?"

"Fishing rods. Zheng Ke looked at the fishing rod in the old man's hand with confidence on his face, "There are four fishing rods next to the wardrobe, and among the four fishing rods, none of them are good." Someone who loves fishing so much, is sure to have a good fishing rod. So, I speculate, you took that fishing rod. ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, then laughed again, "Okay, not bad...... Well, but you're doing this, isn't it too risky?After all, there's a time limit, and if you're wrong, you'll have to return to the Far Moon Academy. ”

"It's the first time I've come to the Oriental School Park.,I don't know the teacher's preferences.,If you don't rely on hard work.,You'll still lose in the end.。 Zheng Ke said softly, "Moreover, there are other reasons why I do this." ”

"Oh, what else?" asked the old man curiously.

"Fishbones. I don't know if the teacher deliberately left a clue, but I saw a fish bone in the kitchen. Zheng Ke said softly.

The old man listened to Zheng Ke's words, his old face turned red, and he covered his mouth with his hand, but soon returned to normal, "Boy, your observation is good." But even if you know I'm fishing, you won't always be able to find me. Just now, you said that you were coming to Oriental College for the first time, right? How did you know I was here?"

"At that, I'll admit, there was a bit of luck. Outside the thatched hut, there are no footprints in the snow on one side, and I can only look for you in the other direction. However, on the way over, there was a fork in the road, one with more footprints and the other with few footprints. When I came over, someone led me up, so I thought that this road with more footprints should lead to the campus. The teacher lives here all the year round, and the range of action should be on this mountain, so the footprints on the path should be yours. I walked all the way down the path and found you. ”

The old man listened to Zheng Ke's speculation, blinked his eyes, and looked at Zheng Ke with a surprised expression.

"It's amazing, I didn't expect you to think so much. ”

Zheng Ke scratched his head and sneered: "Luck is better." ”

"Indeed, even I have to sigh at your good fortune. The old man stroked his beard with a smug expression, "Actually, if you look a little closer, you will see that there are no new footprints on the snow, that is, I did not walk from that path." ”

Zheng Ke nodded, "When I saw you, I knew my speculation was wrong. ”

"Why?" the old man looked at Zheng Ke curiously.

"That road isn't very easy to walk, you shouldn't be able to walk that way at your age—it should be someone else's footprints, and there should be another way to get here. Zheng Ke explained.

The old man's face immediately turned red, "Nonsense, I'm still very young, of course it's okay to walk like that." ”

After speaking, the voice was already very small.

Zheng Ke knew that the old man was a little hard-mouthed, so he didn't refute it, after all, he was still on someone else's one-third of an acre of land, so he must pay attention to his wording.

"Since you're here,......" the old man glanced at his watch, "and, having found me, shall we go back first?"

"Hmm. ”

Since the old man wanted to leave, Zheng Ke certainly had no opinion.

"Carry this bucket. The old man pointed to the red plastic bucket on the ground, "These are dinners." ”

"Oh. Zheng Ke walked to the bucket and glanced at the bucket, there were only four or five small white strips, the longest was about eight or nine centimeters, and the shorter one was four or five centimeters.

"Teacher, will the two of us eat these small fish?" Zheng Ke said in embarrassment.

"Yes, you can't finish eating, tell me if you can't finish eating, I'm a good eater. The old man looked back at Zheng Ke.

Why don't you finish eating? I'm talking about not having enough to eat.

Zheng Ke protested in his heart.

"That...... Teacher, can we catch a few more?" asked Zheng Ke tentatively.

"What kind of fishing?The bait is gone, what can you take?" the old man looked back at Zheng Ke dissatisfiedly, "Throw you into the water, can you be bait?"

Zheng Ke shook his head, joking, in the summer, he could still consider going into the water to catch fish, but now that it is cold and snowy, what if a fool goes into the water?

"Then why don't you leave quickly, what are you doing staying there?" the old man glared at Zheng Ke dissatisfiedly.

Zheng Ke was stunned for a moment, and immediately lifted the bucket and followed.

The way back was not the road that Zheng Ke took when he came, but another sheep intestine path, although the road was narrower, but relatively stable. It didn't take long for the trail to turn to a wider path.

Zheng Ke followed the old man forty or fifty meters away, and the footprints finally increased.

"Why do you want to come to the East?" said the old man, slung the rod on his shoulder, and continued on his way.

"Uh...... Oriental School Park is a world-renowned Chinese chef school, I think any chef, if he has the opportunity, will choose to come and have a look, right?" Zheng Ke said softly.

"Hehe, it's the most famous Chinese chef school. The old man corrected, "After you came over, what do you think of the Oriental School Park?" ”

"Nothing. I haven't been to the campus of the Oriental School Park, and I don't dare to make judgments. Zheng Ke told the truth.

The old man thought about it, too. Zheng Ke just came to the Oriental School Park, and he came to the mountain, what impression can he have of the Oriental School Park.

"Teacher, training and other things can't be in the mountains, right?" asked Zheng Ke.

"What, can't you?" The old man turned his head to look at Zheng Ke, but his eyes narrowed, and the more he looked at it, the more he looked like a monkey.

"Absolutely. Zheng Ke shrugged his shoulders, this is your territory, you say.

"By the way, teacher, may I ask your surname?" Zheng Ke saw the old man walking forward unhappily, and also followed.

"Me?" the old man stopped, coughed a few times, and had a hint of smugness on his face, "Don't you feel familiar when you see me?"

Ha?

Zheng Ke looked at the old man in front of him, his beard was gray, his eyes were shining, his face was ruddy and shiny, he bowed his body slightly, and looked at him expectantly.

"Teacher,It's the first time I've come to Yuanyue School Park.,I really haven't seen you.。 Zheng Ke shook his head very solidly,
