Li Sheng put his hands behind his back, his jet-black hair was mixed with a few white threads, fine wrinkles had crawled to his face, and with a bearded and glaring expression, he looked a little playful. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zong Jiming, who had just relieved himself, was taken aback again, and the whole person became stunned, his mouth was slightly open, and there was a tone in his throat that had not yet been swallowed.

"Then dare to ask what the seniors did? It can scare those who don't know how to advance and retreat so that they don't dare to offend this Xiliang City again. ”

Guan Yiyi bowed to the old man behind him, and looked at the person in front of him with some admiration.

Thinking that he was frightened by Guan Yiyi's eyes, Li Sheng felt a little funny about the man and woman who reacted completely differently. The man hid behind the woman, and the woman looked at him calmly, the contrast was really a little bigger.

"Let the seniors see the jokes, the husband is a little timid, it's just right to be scared today, seniors, as soon as you make a sound, his soul is lost again."

Li Sheng didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, "It's all because of me?" ”

"Not really."

Guan Yiyi was a little anxious, Zong Jiming stood up and spoke when he went out on weekdays, but he was so scared today that he would keep hiding behind her, and now the old man in front of him was a little scorching, Guan Yiyi's panicked explanation made the old man laugh.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not some man-eating beast, don't you want to know what I've done? Come with me. ”

The two followed the old man all the way to a mansion, and after entering, they found that there was no trace of popularity in the mansion, only hearing something rubbing against the ground, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.

Bringing the two to the front hall, Li Sheng sat on the top seat and clapped his palms, and then the sound of friction on the ground got closer and closer, Guan Yi looked towards the door one by one, and gasped when he saw the person coming.

The person who came was tall and tall, 'expressionless', and his whole body was wrapped in white clothes, but just looking at the fingers holding the tea tray were all made of pieces of wood, it made people feel frightened, as the soles of his feet moved, and the sound of rubbing against the ground, the people who came stood still at the door, and only entered the door with Li Sheng's palm.

"It's ......"

Guan Yiyi took the cup handed over by the wooden man one by one, pointed to the face without the facial features of the wooden man, and a burst of light burst out in his eyes, "Wooden man? A moving wooden man? ”

Seeing Guan Yiyi's appearance, Li Sheng got up and stepped down from the main seat, patted the wooden man on the shoulder, and introduced to the two, "This is the head of the Li Mansion, Li Jin." ”

Li Jin hugged the tea tray to his chest, bowed to the two, and then retreated behind Li Sheng.

"So, the whole of Loei is this wooden man?"

Guan Yiyi took the empty cup in Zong Jiming's hand one by one, it seems that he was really frightened this time, and he will have to let the doctor take a good look when he goes back later.

"Yes, the old man has no ability in this life, he likes to tinker with these things, they are better than people, they accompany me every day, and they won't feel annoyed when they listen to my nagging endlessly."

"Since the seniors think they are better than others, why do they want to be officials here and benefit the people, why don't you guard them alone?"

Guan Yiyi resisted the itching of his hands, and wanted to run over and pull the wooden man aside to take a closer look, and asked.

"Because the old man promised his deceased wife to be a good official for the country and the people, she said that I have a good ability, so it is better to take it out to be loyal to the country, so that when I die, there will still be people who will remember me, unlike her, she died only I read her, and no one will know her after I die."

Li Sheng said that there were some tears in his eyes, and the red eye sockets and the fine lines at the corners of his eyes added a little bit of old age to the plainness.

Li Jin behind him seemed to feel the owner's different emotions from usual, and patted Li Sheng's back in a panic, who knew that the force was too strong, and Li Sheng almost vomited a mouthful of blood.

Waving his hand, he signaled that he was fine, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile, "It's not time, I don't know if the two of you are hungry, the chef in the old man's house has good skills, and he is a good snack, Li Jin, you go and prepare." ”

After Li Jin repurchased tea for the three of them, he bent down and retreated, and after watching Li Jin's series of actions, Guan Yiyi wanted to know the structure of this wooden man, "Are all the people in this mansion wooden people?" ”

"Not really." Li Sheng said with a smile.

"Huh?"

"Am I a living person? Without me, the living, where did they come from? ”

Unexpectedly, the person who was still in grief a moment ago was now joking with her, Guan Yi scratched his head one by one, laughing and not knowing how to answer.

"You like them too? In the past, those people were scared away or beat with sticks. ”

Li Sheng remembered the wooden people who had been beaten before, and his heart was a little throbbing, so when he attacked the enemy country, he could only send them out while the people were asleep, and the wooden people were not afraid of pain and would not die, as long as the key parts were not destroyed, they could continue to fight, repel the enemy army overnight, and then secretly send them back to the city.

"Wooden people have no feelings, they don't hurt people, why be afraid."

Li Sheng laughed happily when he heard Guan Yiyi's answer, showed them the wooden people working in the house, and then led them to a cave under a mountain near the province.

Piles of broken wood lay out in the cave, and a faint smell of blood wafted through the air.

"This is the 'dead' on the battlefield back then, and I wasted a lot of effort to repair them, but now that I'm old, I can't move no matter how much I repair them, unlike before."

Pick up a piece of wood that had been cut by a sharp sword, and what lay in it was his life's work, and he was reluctant to die any of them.

"Senior ......" Guan Yiyi wanted to stretch out his hand to comfort the old man in front of him.

"It's okay, people talk a lot when they're old, don't be surprised."

"Huh?"

Feeling that something was pulling the corners of his skirt, Guan Yi lowered his head one by one, "Senior, what is his name?" ”

Li Sheng looked with Guan Yiyi's fingers and found that it was a small wooden man the size of a palm, and he suddenly said a little speechless, "This ...... The old man has never seen such a fine wooden man in his whole life of tinkering with wood, where did this come from? ”

The little wooden man pulled the corner of Guan Yiyi's clothes all the way up, and the straight road climbed to her shoulder before stopping, Li Sheng saw this and said with a smile, "It seems that this little man is related to Mrs., the old man has never seen him here every day before, Mrs. will take him away if she doesn't dislike it." ”

Hearing Li Sheng's words, Ben teased Guan Yi, who was teasing the little wooden man on his shoulder, stopped his movements one by one, and said, "Since the senior said so, then I'm welcome." ”

Not long after the two of them walked out of the Li Mansion, Zong Jiming slowly rolled his eyes, "One by one, this time we went to see the Mansion Yin of Xiliang City, in addition to many interesting wooden people in his house, there is also a chef with great skills, he came to this Xiliang City for this cook." ”

Guan Yiyi: "......"

The little wooden man sitting on Guan Yiyi's shoulder suddenly emitted a puff of black smoke, and when the two of them were not paying attention, he took it back and patted his bare chest, and the little wooden man seemed to be relieved...... (To be continued.) )
