Chapter 32: The Mysterious Old Man
Zhang Bo and Li Xing went to the first district where the head of Sun's office was located. Sector 1 is located in the central hinterland of the entire base, and the entire area is surrounded by high walls, and only the tallest building inside can be seen standing solemnly. The area around this area is different from the other areas, but is divided into small areas, and the first area is surrounded by the middle area, which is called the second area. Each small area is divided by a row of two-story silos surrounded by a square city, but it is impossible to see what is going on inside. Roads between each small area lead to all directions of the base, allowing you to move around at will. Although there is no one to stop it, few ordinary people have walked here.
From the pamphlet I received when I first came to the base, it can be seen that this area is where the head of the base lives and works, and the officials below the minister level live in the second district, but the office still has to go to the first district.
Zhang Bo and Li Xing came to the gate of the first district, and there were two sturdy young soldiers on both sides of the towering gate, with a straight posture and no squinting. At this time, the gate is closed, and only the side door is opened. When Zhang Bo and the others walked to the small door, they were stopped by the soldiers standing next to them, and after asking what they meant, they signaled them to go to the registration room on the side to register first, and then wait for the notice in the registration room.
There were two people in charge of the registration room, one took out the register and handed it to the two, and the other immediately trotted towards the tallest office building after asking what he meant.
The two sat in the registration room, and Li Xing looked inside curiously. I saw that the buildings inside were all made of marble with walls, and tempered glass was used as windows, so that people outside could not see the things in the house. On both sides of the concrete road are rows of huge white porcelain flower pots, in which thriving iron trees are planted. The flowers that must be placed do not bring much life to the solemn atmosphere here, but show the solemnity of the place.
After a while, the soldier who went to report came back, followed by a man who looked a little thief-eyed, although he was also dressed in a military uniform, but it was not respectable.
Zhang Bo and Li Xing got up and thanked the soldiers who went to report, and the thief-eyed man introduced himself: "Hello two, I am the assistant to Commander Sun, my surname is Chen, you can call me Xiao Chen in the future." ”
Zhang Bo immediately objected: "How about that, let's call Assistant Chen." ”
The assistant Chen was very helpful after hearing this, but still said: "The people under Commander Sun all call me Xiao Chen, and you don't have to be polite." ”
The two of them nodded and followed Xiao Chen all the way to the highest building.
Not to mention that Zhang Bo and the others went to the first district to report, and Ye Ziyu started her 50-lap metamorphosis run again. It's boring enough to always go around the four districts, and running is different, so she ran to the commercial street. She originally wanted to buy a weapon and then go to Huoshan City, but she didn't expect that she didn't have time to do it, but now she has to find a weapon that suits her as soon as possible for self-defense.
Walking along the streets, looking for weapons shops, I saw several last time, where are they all now?
"Huh! Girl come here to see? A hunchbacked old man beckoned to Ye Ziyu.
Ye Ziyu compared himself, the old man smiled and nodded, and the wrinkles on his face looked even more ravine. Ye Ziyu took two steps forward, looked into the dark room behind the old man, there was nothing, and couldn't help but wonder: "Uncle, what kind of store are you, what do you sell?" ”
The old man was still smiling with wrinkles on his face, which made Ye Ziyu feel that he could trap mosquitoes, and said: "Girl, what I sell is all rare things, how can I just put them outside and show them to these ordinary people, it seems so classless!" ”
Forehead......
Ye Ziyu looked at the hunchbacked old man in front of him again, not necessarily how mysterious he was, but somewhat similar to the bad old man in his hometown who sat under the big tree and grinded his teeth with a group of old women all day long.
"Uncle, how do you think I'm not an ordinary person?" Ye Ziyu asked tentatively.
"The old man has lived for a long time, and he can still make mistakes in looking at people!" The old man pretended to be angry: "Hmph! You girl is young and doesn't know the goods, and the old man doesn't blame you. Get! If you're not interested, just go, but I don't know how many people line up for me to take them in! ”
Ye Ziyu only felt funny, and said in a calm tone: "Uncle, I am young, but I haven't even seen the goods, how do you know that I don't know the goods?" Since Uncle's business is so prosperous, I won't bother you with business here, goodbye. Then he turned around and was about to leave.
This situation is too similar to the beauty salon at the entrance of the shopping mall in the past, which pulled people to some corners and corners, and chattered with you without buying anything after entering, saying that you have a headache, once you promise them to consume, immediately exchange for a piece of tranquility, and you will regret it when you go out of the store. Ye Ziyu felt curious, this kind of time should not be.
When the old man saw that Ye Ziyu was really gone, he hurriedly chased after him with a crutch. It's strange to say, this old man is hunchbacked, and he still needs crutches to support, but his speed is not slow, and he caught up with Ye Ziyu in two steps and stopped in front of her.
The old man showed a smile full of folds again, and said with a look of persuasion: "Girl, don't be in a hurry, didn't you ask me how I can see that you are different, don't you want to know?" ”
Ye Ziyu raised her eyebrows, she really didn't have the leisure to know, but looking at the old man, he had a posture of not giving up, and Ye Ziyu's grandmother was like an old child, she could always make her cry and laugh, looking at this old man's mysterious and funny appearance, which reminded her of her grandmother who had passed away for many years, she couldn't help but smile longingly, and asked patiently: "I hope your old man will tell me one or two." ”
The old man nodded proudly, took Ye Ziyu's hand very familiarly, and said as he walked: "Come here, come to the eaves, I'll tell you slowly." Don't say that you delay others walking on this road, you look at this big day, I can't stand it, it's a pity that your white little girl is tanned, come with me. ”
Ye Ziyu was pulled by the old man under the eaves of the room where he was standing before. The old man pulled out a bench from behind the door and motioned for Ye Ziyu to sit. Ye Ziyu secretly said that it was not good, this is the rhythm of gossip, she is not here to respect the old and love the young today.
The old man looked at the sky and squinted his eyes slightly, Ye Ziyu felt that he didn't squint, in fact, the sunlight couldn't pierce the little eyes that were almost completely covered by the upper eyelids.
"Girl, look, there are people coming and going on this street, there are ordinary people, there are people with extraordinary abilities, there are mutants, the old man just stopped you, do you say you are ordinary!"
Ye Ziyu's body that was sitting firmly on the bench almost didn't sit on the ground, and she gritted her teeth and slandered in her heart: Dare to love me is such a different way, so can you let her go back to that group of ordinary people and go shopping on the street now!
In the face of an old man, she couldn't refute it, so she had to continue to be patient, okay, let's talk to the lonely old man today.
The old man ignored Ye Ziyu's trance-like expression, and continued to say leisurely: "You, don't look at my age, think I'm that boring old man, just pull someone on the street to chat, I'm a businessman, but businessmen are not all the same." I only sell my stuff to people I feel like. Old man, I have been standing here all morning today, just look at your eyes, you, steal the fun! ”
Can she cry, can she?
The old man continued: "Wait a minute, wait for the sun to start to set in the west, let's go in, you can sit here with the old man, bask in the sun, and watch the people coming and going, it is also a lot of fun." ”
That's enough! And sit like this for an afternoon! Ye Ziyu felt that his patience had reached the limit, and he got up with a hula and startled the old man beside him.
She forced herself to press the corners of her twitching mouth, and said in a slightly unnatural voice: "Uncle, inside, you don't say what you want to show me, and I don't know if your things are useful to me." Moreover, I think your things must be rare treasures, you see that I am a poor student, and now I am not even a student, and even if I fall in love with your things, I can't afford them. It's better for you to continue to bask in the sun here, uncle, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first, I can't accompany you, I hope you'll forgive me! ”
After finishing speaking, he smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and only listened to the old man sighing leisurely behind his back, the voice was not loud, but Ye Ziyu's ears were stronger than ordinary people, and he could still listen to it really.
"Alas, another stupid girl! Let's go, let's go, let's go, when you look for me in the future, what kind of secret is your secret, I can see through it at a glance, isn't it just a wooden ......"
Before the old man finished speaking, his mouth was covered, and Ye Ziyu stared at the old man with wide eyes.
The old man let out a giggling and hoarse laugh, the old skin on his lips grinded Ye Ziyu's palms painfully, and he hurriedly let go, and said to the old man in a low voice: "Uncle, who are you and what are you going to do?" ”
The old man looked at Ye Ziyu with a smile, and was extremely proud: "How about it, don't be in a hurry to leave this time!" In the past, I said the same thing to other girls, and they ignored my bad old man, and the old man could only help him, you girl looked blessed, the old man didn't want you to go a fork in the road, and I had the heart to remind you, you kid is lucky! Good luck! ”
The old man sighed again and again, Ye Ziyu didn't know if he was really lucky, but he was very surprised that this old man would be able to see that he was a wood-based ability, so could other people also see it? This is no joke!
Ye Ziyu felt that he couldn't talk normally with this old man, and it was possible to hear it useful if he was a little angry, so he made a look of disdain, looked at the old man and said: "Uncle, don't blame the juniors for being unreasonable, it's just that the juniors are curious, uncle, you look unfathomable, is it possible that you are a fortune teller, just pull someone here to say what you have and what you don't, and then wait until you meet someone who is really said, and your business can be done?" ”
