CHAPTER XV
Two days later, Lao Lu returned.
He brought back a big roe deer. Julia's eyes are straight!
"We're developed! With such a strong roe deer, it is hard enough for you to carry it back, Daddy, right? β
"It's kind of a bit." Lao Lu put the roe deer on the ground and looked at the prey happily, "I'm lucky today, I didn't meet zombies on the road." β
Then, he looked up at Yin Zhen.
Seeing that he noticed the stranger, Julia hurriedly said, "Daddy, I rescued someone." β
At that time, Yin Zhen was standing at the entrance nervously, and he could feel the old man's gaze, like a sharp blade, slashing over himself!
Lao Lu looks very old, full of wrinkles, dark complexion, not very tall, but his body is very strong, and he knows that he is a weathered person at a glance.
The old man also had short hair, was dressed in a denim outfit, and had a scar on his left cheek, from the corner of his eye to his cheekbone.
He found that Yin Zhen was staring at the scar on his face, so he raised his hand and touched it, revealing a very faint smile: "The bullet bitten it fell during the drug enforcement in Myanmar." β
The old man's right hand is missing two fingers.
"His name is Yin Zhen." Julia explains, "I rescued him from the woods on the other side of the park two days ago. β
As soon as he was introduced by others, Yin Zhen seemed to be even more nervous, he took a step forward with his left leg, as if he wanted to make a move, but he stopped before he started, as if he remembered something.
Then he didn't know what to say, so he just shook his hands and stood there stunned.
Lao Lu stared at him quietly, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "Are you scared?" β
Yin Zhen's face trembled slightly: "I ......"
"He's like that." Julia explained, "Confused, he doesn't know what to ask. β
Old Lu looked at Julia in surprise: "What? Brain melon problem? β
Julia laughed dryly: "No, people are very smart, it's just ...... Nothing is known. β
"There's a logical error in what you're saying." Lao Lu pointed at her, "I'll talk about it after I think about it." β
Julia spread her hands: "Let's put it this way, he's the same as me, he doesn't remember a lot of things, and everything he sees feels new and weird." β
"How many days have you been here?"
"Three days."
Lao Lu stared at Julia, and he could see the affirmation in her eyes: the newcomer's character was not bad.
The old man finally nodded, and said to Yin Zhen: "Don't be afraid, live here in peace." β
Yin Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.
"I haven't slept in two days, you two clean up this thing." Lao Lu said tiredly, "I have to go sleep for a while." β
When Lao Lu went upstairs, Julia and Yinzhen carried the big roe deer to the edge of the well and began the laborious cleaning and peeling work.
"Lao Lu is actually a very good person, but his face is a little scary, and you will know it when you are familiar." Julia sliced the roe deer's neck with a Mongolian knife and said, "The only thing he doesn't like is being lazy." If you are diligent in the future, he will like you. β
Yin Zhen nodded silently.
"When I was first picked up by him, I was also lazy." Julia lowered her head and rinsed the blood on her hands with well water, "When I practiced shooting, I couldn't stand the recoil, and I didn't want to practice, but you see, he didn't throw me out." He is a man with a knife mouth and a tofu heart. β
"Doesn't Lao Lu have any relatives?" Yin Zhen asked.
"My wife has died a long time ago, and I have a daughter...... "Julia said this, pausing for a moment, and then added, "It is said that I married a man and died of illness within a few years, and this was all before I met him." Later, he picked me up and took me home and raised me as a daughter. β
"Just the two of you all the time?"
"Not really. He still had some subordinates, but he ...... later"
Julia's working hand stopped, but somehow, she didn't finish her sentence.
"Julia?" Yin Zhen saw that her expression was wrong, and he was a little surprised.
"Lao Lu and I don't trust people much anymore. So I picked you up, and he must have been surprised. Ah Zhen, no matter what happens in the future, don't let Lao Lu down, it's not easy for him. β
Julia's voice was calm, but Yin Zhen noticed that her eyes were slightly red and her voice was hoarse.
He didn't know how to respond. In the end, he said, "Don't worry, I am a grateful person." β
Lao Lu seemed very tired, and he slept until the afternoon before getting up.
After coming down from the upper floors and washing his face, the old man went to the backyard, where Julia was alone to wash the carpet.
"What about that guy?"
"It's time to go to bed." Julia said, "I'm so tired that I can't look at it, so let him rest for a while." β
Lao Lu was a little surprised: "The physique is so weak? Shiro has grown so tall. β
"The physique is okay too." Julia said, "It's just not used to it, it seems that he didn't work at home before." β
Lao Lu picked up the bucket, carried two buckets of water, and then sat down next to Julia.
"That Yin Zhen, where did you come from?"
"I said I was from Beijing. The intermediate process is completely ignorant, and as soon as you open your eyes, you fall here. Mom and Dad forgot everything. β
Lao Lu nodded: "It's 'falling here as soon as you open your eyes' again, so it's the same as you?" β
"I can't tell."
Lao Lu was stunned: "What?" β
"He's weird." Julia paused and thought for a moment, "It's so strange that I don't even know what to say. β
"What do you mean?"
"Extremely lacking in common sense, not knowing dish soap, not knowing toilet cleaners, but knowing how to use knives, guns, bows and arrows; I don't know simplified characters, but I know traditional characters; I don't know English, but I know ancient Chinese; The family is super rich, and there are three or four women, but I don't know what brand CK is......"
Lao Lu smiled: "I don't know what brand CK is." β
Julia gave him a reproachful look, "But Daddy, at least you won't ask me to make you panties." β
"He told you to make him panties?!"
"Not really."
Lao Lu frowned: "Julia, how did you pick up such a person?" β
Hearing the negative meaning in Lao Lu's tone, Julia hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I have taught him a lesson, this guy was quite big at the beginning, I taught two or three times, and now he is obedient." β
Lao Lu said: "It sounds like a mess, so what is your conclusion?" β
Julia put down the brush and affirmed, "The son of the owner of the Malay-Chinese rubber plantation." β
Lao Lu laughed for a while.
"How else can you explain it?"
Lao Lu thought for a while: "I have heard of such a thing before: some wealthy families deliberately let their children read the Four Books and Five Classics, and they did not enter the school, they completely used traditional culture to educate him, and they also wore long robes on weekdays......
"How can this kind of child enter society when he grows up?"
"Do children from extremely rich families need to enter society?"
Julia thought for a long time and shrugged: "That's right." The so-called 'invisible top class', this kind of isolated top class is not nothing, but how did he come here? β
"How did you get here?"
"I'm not in the same situation as his." Julia argued, "I recognize the F16, I know English, and I can do all the housework!" β
"But you insist that Hitler is dead."
"He's really dead, Daddy! He died in 1945! Died in the German Chancellery......"
"He's not dead." Lao Lu glared at Julia, "I didn't die at the time. He disappeared, and at the end of '44 he fled Germany - Julia, I said earlier, there is something wrong with the structure of your common sense, the history books are written in black and white, how do you always go against the history books? β
"Here we go again." Julia shook her head, she picked up the carpet that had been washed on the floor, "Well, I'm from an alien planet - this one I picked up is also from an alien planet. Two ETs, you will be more responsible for your father in the future. β
Lao Lu thought for a while: "I can't imagine that the one you picked up is more like ET than you, I have to ask him again at night." β
"By the way......" Julia said halfway through, and then stopped.
"What's wrong?" Lao Lu looked at her.
Julia thought for a long time before lowering her voice and saying, "Daddy, don't embarrass him. β
Lao Lu glared at her: "Girl, am I that kind of person?" β
"That's not what it meant." Julia tapped her fingers on her temples, as if trying to organize the language, "This person is really weird. Sometimes you think you didn't say anything, but you end up hurting him. Sometimes, you casually ask a very simple question, but he can't answer it, so he is so anxious that his face is red and his neck is thick, and he starts to get angry for some reason, as if you are making things difficult for him. Yin Zhen, this guy, has a very strong self-esteem, and he doesn't seem to know how to laugh at himself, and when he can't answer, he is embarrassed and anxious, and he looks pitiful. β
Lao Lu nodded: "Understood, dead drill horns." Rest assured, I won't take him like that. β
When he said this, he blinked: "What? Quite defends him, huh? β
Julia snorted: "I picked it up, so naturally I have to maintain my dignity." Otherwise, you think that if I pick up a piece of waste, it will be a shame. β
"Julia, he's a man......" Lao Lu said slowly.
"yes." Julia rolled her eyes, "I don't think he looks like a woman, either." β
Lao Lu sighed: "I mean, this kid looks good, Julia, don't you really think about it......"
"Daddy, I'm not getting married." Julia interrupted him lightly, "I'm a fool myself, marry such a fool, and then give birth to a bunch of little fools?" Spare me. β
Lao Lu looked a little sad, he said in a low voice: "Girl, I can't accompany you for a lifetime, the old man is a person half buried in the loess, when I die, what will you do?" β
Julia was silent.
Since she has this expression, Lao Lu is no longer easy to say.
Dinner was the meat of the roe deer, and Julia and Yin Zhen ate it with great delight. Lao Lu doesn't eat much meat, only drinks wine slowly, he rarely touches the contents of the cup, and only drinks two glasses to relieve fatigue when he is very tired.
"Have a drink?" Lao Lu pushed the wine cup towards Yin Zhen.
Yin Zhen looked at the glass of wine and shook his head.
"Well, don't drink, what about cigarettes? Do you smoke? β
Yin Zhen looked at Lao Lu in surprise and shook his head again.
"Do you usually drag race?"
ββ¦β¦ I don't understand. β
"Is it a good bet?"
Yin Zhen was even more surprised, and only after a while did he stumble and say, "Gambling money? That kind of thing, I ...... My family, don't let. β
Julia said coldly next to her: "It's not good, on weekdays, I set up a yacht and wrap a group of celebrities to have a sex party." β
Yin Zhen stared at her for a long time: "...... Didn't understand. β
"And what did you usually do?" Julia didn't have a good breath and said, "Chanting Buddha against the wall? β
Unexpectedly, Yin Zhen really nodded: "Sometimes I look at the Buddhist scriptures, but I don't face the wall." β
ββ¦β¦β
Lao Lu nodded: "It seems to be a standard good boy." Did you go to college? β
Yin Zhen put down his chopsticks and thought hard for a while: "University? Read. β
"Oh, that's not isolation either." Lao Lu asked again, "Which university did you go to?" β
Yin Zhen seemed to be taken aback: "Which one else?" Isn't that all? β
"Which one?" Lao Lu was puzzled.
"That's it...... That's it. Yin Zhen also seemed to be confused.
"That said, which one?" Lao Lu asked again.
Yin Zhen seemed to be stupid by this car-like question, under the dim wax oil lamp, the tip of his nose was oozing with crystal sweat!
"It's the one of Zhu Fuzi, 'The words of Confucius are covered in one chapter, and Zeng Zi says them; The ten chapters of his biography are the meaning of Zengzi and the people of the door are also remembered. βγ β
Lao Lu put down his wine glass and sighed!
Julia was confused, she looked at Lao Lu: "What is he talking about?" β
"He screwed it up." Lao Lu said tiredly, "Ah Zhen is talking about the "University" in the Four Books and Five Classics - Ah Zhen, I am asking where you went to university: Peking University?" Tsinghua? HKU? Nanyang Polytechnic? Or schools in Europe and the United States? β
Yin Zhen stared at a pair of eyes, as if he still didn't understand.
Lao Lu was reluctant to let go and asked again: "I'm asking you, where did you read the book?" β
"At home."
"Just reading at home? Haven't been out before? β
"Do you still want to go out to study?"
ββ¦β¦β
Julia lowered her head to eat the meat, and said quietly: "I've told you everything, it's very difficult." β
She accentuated the word "special."
Lao Lu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Ah Zhen, are you just reading the Four Books and Five Classics at home?" Haven't read anything else? β
Yin Zhen thought for a while: "The subsets of scripture and history have all been involved, and the two Taoist families have also seen some of them. β
"It turns out that your family really raised you as an ancient." Lao Lu said helplessly, "Although your family is rich, when you go out, don't you feel strange to see anything?" β
"Not really." Julia said casually, "Like Grandma Liuβ"
As she said this, suddenly, paused!
Lao Lu looked back at her: "What's wrong?" β
"Ahzhenta...... I haven't seen the Red Mansion. Julia said with difficulty.
For some reason, Yin Zhen looked panicked, and he immediately said, "I've seen it!" I've seen it! There are Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai in it! β
Lao Lu smiled: "That's it, it's impossible not to have read the Red Mansion, especially with this kind of traditional education like his, the Red Mansion is the preferred bibliography." β
Julia glanced at Yin Zhen, and understood in her heart that he was afraid that Lao Lu would find out that his knowledge was defective - the United Communist Party also knew the names of the two people, and he moved out in one go, and he was not afraid of being exposed.
It seemed that he didn't dare to let Lao Lu continue to ask, Yin Zhen simply turned defense into offense: "Lao Lu, can I ask you some questions?" β
Lao Lu nodded: "Just ask, as long as I can answer." β
"Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty...... What do you think of him? β
Lao Lu was taken aback, probably he didn't expect Yin Zhen to suddenly ask such a question. But then he burst into laughter.
"I know, Julia is a historical white, so you came to ask me, for fear that I am also a white?"
Julia said displeasedly: "Daddy, I know a lot! β
Lao Lu didn't care about her, he pinched the wine glass, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Let me say that Yongzheng is a competent emperor." β
Yin Zhen seemed a little surprised: "Really? β
Lao Lu nodded: "When he took over the Qing Dynasty, the situation was actually very bad, Kangxi had many disadvantages in his last years, if he didn't do anything else, the Qing Dynasty would probably expose the end of the world early." β
"That! What do you think he did well? β
"Because there's a white ding here," Lao Lu glanced at Julia and said with a smile, "So let's explain it in the simplest words: he took back the money that he couldn't get back, gave the land that couldn't reach it, and tied the shelves that were about to fall apart one by one and tied ropes to prevent it from collapsing, loosening the burden on the bottom layer that was about to be crushed to death, so that the system would not collapse on a large scale." This person is like an oncologist, radiotherapy and chemotherapy have been done, although the outcome is inevitable, but after all, it effectively prolongs the life of the patient. β
Julia shook her head when she heard this: "Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are quite painful. β
"That's why the doctors in this oncology department are scary." Lao Lu didn't care.
Julia interjected: "So as soon as the doctor gets off duty, the patient's condition deteriorates rapidly?" β
"No, the late Qianlong period was the turning point."
When Yin Zhen heard this, he seemed to be a little distracted, and he muttered, "How is it the same as I thought?" β
Lao Lu looked at him: "What is the same as you?" β
The man immediately came back to his senses, and he quickly said, "Oh, I mean, what you said is the same as I thought, Lao Lu. So, Yongzheng is a good person? β
Lao Lu snorted: "I didn't say that. β
"Huh? Didn't you say he was a worthy emperor? β
"He is very competent as an emperor, how can he be a man, hum, he doesn't dare to compliment."
Yin Zhen's expression suddenly became mysterious: "It's a guy who has lost his conscience, right?" β
Lao Lu nodded: "Isn't it?" Vicious and psychopathic. β
"What is a psychopath?" Yin Zhen leaned over and looked even more curious.
"That means there's a sickness here." Lao Lu poked his brain with his fingertips, "Do you understand?" A good person, his brain will turn, under normal circumstances, our thinking is not extreme, we will not turn our faces at every turn, and kill people at every turn, but you look at him, kill ministers, kill bureaucrats, even let go of his own brother, ordinary people, is there such a thing as him? β
Yin Zhen nodded knowingly: "Crazy." β
"That's right," Lao Lu knocked on the table, "Kangxi is smart and the first is coming, and he was deceived by the fourth child." β
Yin Zhen's hand holding the wine glass, suddenly, shook!
Lao Lu didn't pay attention, he continued: "Fourth Elder Brother is smart, vicious and smart! From top to bottom, he does not leak, he has a ghost in his heart, and he paints human skin on his face, and he is born an emperor. β
Julia didn't like to hear these old stories, she bit a piece of meat and tilted her head to look at Yin Zhen.
His expression looked a little strange under the lamp, as if he had suddenly been plasticized and became a lifeless rubber man!
"Hey, what's wrong?" Julia poked him with her chopsticks.
As if waking up from a big dream, Yin Zhen came back to his senses, he looked at Julia, and then at Lao Lu, that look, as if he had just returned to his soul, and he didn't know where he was for a while!
"I ......," he said, opening his mouth.
Both Lu and Julia are staring at him!
"I ...... Think this meat ...... It's a little spicy. He said with difficulty, "Just swallowed...... Swallowed a chili pepper. β
"Just one pepper." Julia frowned, "Ah Zhen, your luck is too good, isn't it?" Go buy a lottery ticket. β
He buried his head for a while before he whispered, "No, I'm so lucky." β
(Thank you for the gift~~)
