Chapter 11: Do You Think I'm a Trickster?

The old man squinted and looked Xiao Feng up and down.

Xiaofeng is embarrassed to see this.

"You, don't come here, if you come over again, I'll call the police and sue you for harassing a beautiful man!" Xiao Feng was in a hurry, and actually crossed his hands in front of his chest.

"Hahaha!" The old man smiled from ear to ear, "You little brother, it's really funny, you take it seriously if you joke with you?" With this kung fu, I might as well go find a woman. ”

"Cut, who knows what kind of fetish you have?" Xiao Feng breathed a sigh of relief, "Maybe, you don't have the money to find a woman, right?" ”

This old man's dress is really simple to the extreme.

In addition to the fact that the fishing rod looks good, the empty appearance of this fishing basket and this rustic clothes make Xiao Feng feel that this old man is not a poor old man?

"Oh, how do you know that I have no money?" The old man was unconvinced, and then, he looked at the five yuan he was holding in his hand and sighed, "I didn't expect my old Wu to be reduced to being a beggar, alas, alas!" ”

"Beggars?" Xiao Feng didn't think so, "Old man, I didn't treat you as a beggar, you, don't think too much." ”

The old man was standing on the bank of the river, blown by the wind, and the thin white undershirt was shaking and shaking, and he really looked poor and sour.

It's terrible, if this old man is stimulated to want to jump into the river, then my responsibility is not great?

The more Xiaofeng thought about it, the more scared he became.

"Oh?" The old man's eyes rolled, "You didn't treat me like a beggar?" You didn't treat me as a beggar, why did you throw this money into my fish basket? Do I need you to be pitiful? ”

"Eh, I said you old man, I'll give you money, you still think my money stinks, what do you want?" Xiaofeng was also angry now, "I see that you haven't caught a fish for a long time, and I see that you are pitiful, so I gave you this five yuan." Well, you can go to the market and buy a few live fish, or go home to your wife. "You little ghost, you've thought it through!" The old man smiled, "Buying fish? Did you come up with this idea? Looks like you're a clever ghost too, huh? ”

"How am I a clever ghost?" Xiaofeng doesn't like others to comment on himself like this, "I'm smart, smart!" ”

"Good, good, smart, smart." The old man squinted his eyes and looked at Xiao Feng.

Xiaofeng was a little hairy by him.

"Let me ask you, little ghost, how do you know that I didn't catch a fish?" The old man asked suddenly.

"Huh?" Xiao Feng was stunned for a moment, he hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the fish basket, "Look, isn't there nothing in here?" ”

"Hahaha! When you see this basket, do you think I haven't caught a single fish? The old man looked up to the sky and smiled, "Seeing may not be believing, seeing may not be believing!" ”

This old man, it's really strange, isn't he a poor and sour talent?

"This old man, your fish basket is obviously empty, can you conjure up fish?" Xiao Feng looked at the strange old man strangely.

Could it be that this old man will conjure up some trick to change the fish alive?

"Conjure up a fish? I'm not magical, how can I do it? The old man pointed to the basket, "Yes, there are no fish in the basket." ”

"Isn't that the end of it?" Xiaofeng patted the hand that had just touched the fish basket and said.

"Hehe, I've put back all the fish I just caught." The old man pointed to the river, "They're all in there." ”

Is this old man sick? You caught a fish and put it back, what's the point?

"Eh, uncle, what are you doing here?" Xiaofeng asked.

"Not for anything, not for anything." The old man put his hands behind his back, walked a few steps, and looked up at the sky.

The sky is still blue sky and white clouds, nothing has changed.

"Heaven has the virtue of a good life. Why should I take this fish home and eat it? Why don't you put it back? ”

"Oh, uncle, I see. You're a Taoist, right? Xiaofeng finally understood.

"Daoist?"

"yes, I just saw you meditating."

"Is there a Taoist priest like me?" The old man stroked his hair.

"Oh, that's too. I see that Taoist priests all wear small buns, and you don't seem to have them on your head. Xiao Feng couldn't help but step forward and touched the old man's head as well.

"Hey, you little brother, how are you touching my old man's head? If you want to touch it, I will touch your head? So no big or small! The old man was a little annoyed.

"Huh. I'm sorry, uncle, I want to see if your hair is real? Xiaofeng smiled innocently.

"What? Do you suspect that my hair is fake? The old man's eyes were as big as a light bulb.

"Ah, there are too many people wearing wigs now, I'm afraid it's a copycat." Xiaofeng still laughed silly and innocently.

"You little brother! Ha Luha, though, you're kind of interesting. The old man was also infected by Xiaofeng's smile.

Although Xiaofeng is a mischievous guy, he still has a cute and kind side.

"Uncle, you said that you are not a Taoist priest, so you have been fishing all day long, and you don't take the fish away and eat it, what are you going to do?" Xiaofeng was curious.

"Do I have to eat fish when I fish? If I catch a glimpse of a woman on the street, do I have to take her home and marry her? The old man's words are also very funny.

Xiaofeng scratched his head.

"Fishing, this thing is meant to be fun. Once you catch a fish, you enjoy a handful of success. Then he threw the fish back into the river. That way, I don't have to eat it. As for it, it also lives freely, and each has its own place. The old man said thoughtfully.

"But even if you are merciful, you will never eat this fish. Don't you see the people on the riverside, aren't they all fishing? When they catch a fish, don't they eat it? Xiaofeng pointed to the addicts who were fishing over there.

"Alas!" The old man sighed, "I can't help it. In the world, most people want to get more things, not enjoy fun. No wonder, no wonder they! ”

Xiao Feng felt more and more that this old man was very interesting.

This old man, don't look good-looking, but what he says seems to be very philosophical.

"Uncle, you said you were enjoying fishing, what's the fun of that?" Xiaofeng asked.

"Huh." The old man said as he put away his fishing rod, "This fishing pleasure is great." I can't finish it for three days and three nights. If you like fishing, you can come here and fish with me in the future. ”

"No, no." Xiao Feng shook his head vigorously like a drum, "I still have something to do, I won't learn this fishing." I just wanted to ask you, don't you feel bored at all sitting here like this? ”

Xiao Feng really couldn't understand what these people would sit by the river like this.

With this time, with this kung fu, it is better to go where to dance, box, or even rub mahjong or something.

Mom likes to rub hemp. She often told Xiaofeng's sister and brother that rubbing hemp is the best exercise, which not only exercises the body, but also exercises the brain.

Xiaofeng knew in his heart that it was his mother looking for a good-sounding excuse for her gambling money.

However, playing mahjong is at least to win money. However, this fishing can't make money, so what is it for?

And this old man, when he catches a fish and releases a fish, is even more eccentric.

"Huh." The old man sat down again, "Okay, then I'll tell you, come, sit down together." ”

The old and the young, sat cross-legged by the river.

"I said, little brother, are you working now? Are you still reading? "The old man actually cared about Xiaofeng's affairs.

"Oh me, I've worked." Xiaofeng lowered his head, "But, I've just lost my job." ”

"Oh." The old man groaned, "Then what do you do every day?" ”

"What else can be done? Work hard. Xiaofeng raised his head, "I get up earlier than the chickens every day, and I work tiringer than the cows, but I can't get much money in a month." ”

Thinking of what happened to him, Xiao Feng felt sad in his heart.

"Oh." The old man nodded, "Then do you want to succeed?" ”

"Huh?" Xiao Feng looked at the old man and was stunned.

How could this old man suddenly ask this question?

Xiaofeng remembered the classic picture on TV.

A reporter held a microphone in his hand and asked an uncle, "Uncle, are you happy?" ”

The uncle happily replied, "Girl, my surname is not 'Fu', my surname is 'Gou'." ”

Today, the old man's question is not much different from the stupid girl's question.

Do you want to succeed? I haven't heard anyone ask me for N years.

Xiaofeng remembered the questions that everyone would be asked by the teacher when he was a child.

"Children, what do you want to do when you grow up?"

Xiaofeng replied, "I want to be a general." ”

It's a pity that by now, the dream of a general has long become a funny thing in the past.

Xiaofeng never knew who his father was, nor where did his ancestors come from, and his mother never told them about his sister and brother.

He has always thought that he is just a duckweed without roots, floating in this world, floating wherever he goes.

He also worked hard, studying, going to school, taking exams, finding a job, going to work, earning money, finding a girlfriend, and falling in love.

But, more often than not, he is a failure. Until now, he is still a poor dick with nothing, a poor bachelor.

"Success", these two words, are getting farther and farther away from him. At the end, these two words were deleted from Xiaofeng's dictionary.

The little wind is still the little wind, drifting with the wind, unable to find a goal, unable to see hope, not even loved, no one to pity.

"What's wrong, young man? Is this question difficult to answer? The old man blinked, looking at Xiao Feng who was stunned.

"This, of course I think. Who doesn't want to succeed? Whoever doesn't want to succeed, who is your grandson. Xiao Feng still tried to disguise a very tough look.

"Be my grandson? Ha Luha, I don't want a grandson, I already have a grandson. "The old man is happy.

Xiaofeng regretted this, but he didn't expect to be picked up by this old man for nothing.

"Young man, I see you, it is the children who can teach, the children who can teach." The old man nodded.

"Mattress? Where is the mattress? Xiaofeng looked around.

"What about the mattress? How did you read this book? The old man frowned, "You just said that the pillow is good." ”

Actually, Xiao Feng knew the idiom, and he deliberately played with this old man.

Xiaofeng's Chinese scores are not bad, and his composition can still be ranked in the top few in the class.

Unfortunately, his math scores were so poor.

During the college entrance examination, because I failed mathematics, I didn't even get into the junior college line.

Xiaofeng simply stopped repeating and went straight to find a job.

He looked for several jobs and worked hard, but he never worked long.

I finally got to work in this "McDeki" restaurant, so I didn't have to be exposed to the wind and sun anymore, and I didn't have to face the faces of those fierce bosses all day long. Unexpectedly, just because of his words, this job will be wasted again.

Xiaofeng regretted it a little, no matter how angry he was just now, he shouldn't have contradicted Manager Han like that.

But can he go back?

"Well, if you want to succeed, then I'll tell you." The old man tidied up his things, pointed to the river, and said, "This success is not difficult, but it is actually the same as fishing." ”

"Oh?" Xiao Feng was interested, and he pricked up his ears.

"When you're fishing, you have to be calm and focus on the rod and don't think about anything else." The old man said, "Don't look around, and don't move the rod in a hurry. When the fish is hooked, you pick it up again, it's as simple as that. ”

"But, what does this stupid wait have to do with success?" Xiaofeng still couldn't understand??????
