Chapter 3: Weakness
"Uhh......h
Lin Jingyu couldn't help but scream.
Seeing this, the old man's eyebrows frowned slightly, but his movements were still unhurried, and he reached out and tapped a few times on Lin Jingyu's chest.
Suddenly, Lin Jingyu's tense face was relieved, and the whole person became relaxed.
After a while, he had returned to normal, as if what had just happened had never happened, and the old man didn't say much, as if this situation had often happened before, as if it was commonplace.
The anomaly seemed to have turned into a small episode, and neither the grandfather nor grandson cared.
It was not a long time, and it was slowly passed in the dialogue between the two.
Lin Jingyu was in the big wooden barrel, slowly soaking.
Before you know it, the aroma in the house is getting thinner, and the original rich color of the bath water is quietly becoming lighter and lighter.
"Xiaoyu, can you memorize the book I asked you to memorize now?" The old man looked at Lin Jingyu and suddenly asked......
Lin Jingyu raised his head, his eyes flashed with starlight, and when he mentioned the book, he felt inexplicably depressed, and replied: "Grandpa, I have memorized all that book, why don't I read it to you now?" ”
The old man had a smile on his face, looking very happy, and waved his hand and said, "No, grandpa believes in you." ”
Hearing this, Lin Jingyu couldn't help but scratch his head.
The old man's words, as if praising him, made his heart feel a little sweet.
"By the way, Grandpa, why doesn't that book have a name?"
For that book, Lin Jingyu unconsciously had this question in his mind.
The old man casually glanced at Lin Jingyu and said, "The name of the book will be there in the future." ”
Lin Jingyu was puzzled, he didn't understand what this sentence meant, there will be it in the future, isn't it now?
"But grandpa, I don't understand the meaning of the book at all." Lin Jingyu did not relent.
"You'll understand later."
“…… So what does it do? Lin Jingyu continued to ask.
"You'll know later, and you don't need to know that yet." The old man had an indifferent look.
"Okay." Lin Jingyu was helpless.
Don't dwell on it, what the old man says, that's what it is, Lin Jingyu doesn't understand it now, maybe for him now, it doesn't matter.
"Grandpa, you knocked me out of that wild boar, are you going to take it out and sell it?" Lin Jingyu thought of this.
The old man was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered something, "That wild boar...... I wanted to sell it outside, but now I decided not to sell it, and we slaughtered the pigs ourselves and made smoked bacon. ”
Lin Jingyu reacted for a moment, he didn't know why the old man suddenly changed his mind, but it's good to make smoked bacon, the smoked bacon made by a wild boar is enough to eat for a long time.
"After the smoked bacon is done, you take it outside and sell it for money." The old man added.
Lin Jingyu was stunned in his heart, selling for money?
"Grandpa, money can buy something to eat, right?"
Hearing this, the old man showed an inexplicable look.
He knew that Lin Jingyu didn't know what the role of money was, he had never been exposed to this since he was a child, and he had never eaten pork but he had seen pigs run, but Lin Jingyu had never even seen money, so he naturally didn't know much about these things.
"Of course, you can buy a lot of other things besides food, and you'll know when the time comes." The old man said.
Lin Jingyu became happy, thinking about making the smoked bacon as soon as possible, taking it outside to sell it for money, and then buying other things.
But he also felt depressed, what should he buy when he has money?
He didn't seem to know exactly what was out there to buy.
"Alright, after soaking in the barrel for so long, it should be about the same."
The old man glanced at the water in the wooden bucket, nodded slightly, and then picked up Lin Jingyu's palm, came to his eyes to observe it carefully, and kneaded it on it, I don't know what he was doing.
After some inspection, the old man finally let go of Lin Jingyu's hand, "Xiaoyu, in the future, when you take a bath, you won't need to use this smelly water." ”
Lin Jingyu was puzzled, and then asked: "Grandpa, I don't use this kind of water for bathing, so what kind of water do I use?" ”
Indeed, for so long, thinking about it, it should have been more than ten years, and the water used by Lin Jingyu in the bath will give off some smell, except for that kind of water, the old man never allows him to use anything else.
Of course, the smell of water that has been used before is not the same, it should be of different kinds.
The bath water, for more than ten years, was prepared by the old man himself.
"As for what kind of water to use, I won't limit you, but it's generally clear water, depending on your own liking!" The old man didn't want to dwell on that.
Lin Jingyu nodded in understanding.
Then he came out of the large wooden barrel, completely naked.
The old man had already prepared clean clothes, but every one of them was worn-out and modified, and admonished:
"Xiaoyu, you have to learn to do your own laundry in the future."
Lin Jingyu was stunned for a while, he didn't understand why his grandfather said this, learn to wash clothes, in fact, he had already learned.
"Okay grandpa." Lin Jingyu responded.
Soon, the clothes were dressed, and all the clothes on the body had been changed, except for one thing, which was the black vest.
The old man told him since he was a child that the vest should not leave his body, so Lin Jingyu kept wearing it on his body.
"Xiaoyu, now you go and see that old hen, I haven't seen it lay eggs for many days." The old man commanded.
"I'll go check it out."
Lin Jingyu picked up a pair of straw sandals and put them on, his face was a little excited, and he walked straight out of the house.
After a while, Lin Jingyu's voice sounded from outside, with a jubilant taste: "Grandpa, grandpa, the old hen has laid eggs......"
Hearing this, a smile appeared on the old man's face, "Okay, okay, Xiaoyu, bring the eggs quickly, and grandpa will make you eggs to eat." ”
A moment later, Lin Jingyu slowly walked in step by step from the outside, looking cautious, holding an oval egg in both hands.
This egg, with its bronze color on its surface, is very strange.
Holding an egg in his hand, Lin Jingyu looked cautious and carefully handed the egg to the old man.
Many years ago, the old man warned him to be extremely careful when taking eggs, and never let them fall to the ground.
Lin Jingyu kept it in mind.
So, every time he picked up an egg, he was very careful not to drop an egg.
"You wait here, I'll make you eggs."
The old man took the eggs, left a word, went directly to a room, closed the door, and went to make eggs.
Lin Jingyu's face was full of excitement, he couldn't remember how many times he had made eggs, and the old man did this every time, locking himself in the room without saying a word, so it was not surprising.
But this is not what Lin Jingyu is most excited about, what he is excited about is the eggs made by the old man.
In any case, he will never forget that it was a very tasty thing and he loved the taste.
After a long wait, Lin Jingyu seems to have gotten used to it, after all, every time the old man makes eggs, he feels normal, so he will wait patiently every time.
However, at this time, there was a sudden sound outside the house, and a solemnity appeared on Lin Jingyu's face, and he did not hesitate to get up and walk outside the house.
Grandpa told him a long time ago that when it comes to making eggs, don't let anything affect him.
The noise that appeared outside had obviously affected it, and Lin Jingyu couldn't let the noise continue to happen.
went out of the house to find the place where the sound came from, and soon, Lin Jingyu found the target.
It turned out to be a wild boar?
Within his sight, Lin Jingyu did see the figure of a wild boar, which was about to move at the moment, eager to break into the house.
But looking at the way it looks, it seems to be a little scared, scared or something.
Seeing this, Lin Jingyu's eyes were drawn back to the grass in front of the house, and the wild boar that was knocked out was still lying there quietly at the moment, and he quickly made an analysis in his mind.
Could it be that this wild boar that was about to break in was to rescue the wild boar he had captured? A male and a female?
Lin Jingyu had doubts in his heart, and after a pause, he walked outside, and the direction was the wild boar that wanted to break in.
Since you want to come in so much, then satisfy you and stay together!
Lin Jingyu had already made a decision, and he ran towards the wild boar with his legs, like a gust of wind, the speed was quite fast, and he stepped on the grass and swished.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the wild boar quickly turned around and ran, running towards the depths of the forest.
After that, I only heard a muffled sound coming from the woods, accompanied by a scream, of course, it was from a wild boar, and it felt quite miserable.
After a while, only half a minute, the voice subsided.
"There's one more, and you can make more smoked bacon this time!"
Lin Jingyu whispered to himself, carried the fainted wild boar to the front of the house, and placed it on the grass side by side with the previous wild boar.
Thinking of what his grandfather said, he could buy a lot of things by selling this smoked bacon, Lin Jingyu was excited.
The wild boar that fainted to death at this moment has been tied up by Lin Jingyu, and his mouth and limbs are not spared.
Back at the house, Lin Jingyu sat down again.
This time it was a lot quieter, after all, there was no disturbance from wild boars, and grandpa was more at ease when making eggs.
I don't know how long it took, but the room was already filled with a strong fragrance, which was a medicinal fragrance.
Then Lin Jingyu only heard a bang, accompanied by a wave of air, and the wooden house was shaken several times, and it felt crumbling.
Sensing this phenomenon, Lin Jingyu's face was obviously happy, he stood up and looked at the door of the room.
Unexpectedly, with a creak, the door to the room was pushed open, and a rickety figure stepped out of it.
"Grandpa, are the eggs ready?"
Lin Jingyu hurriedly caught up, excited.
However, Lin Jingyu, who stepped forward, his excited face suddenly became gloomy, and his expression suddenly became nervous, "Grandpa, you, how are you, are you uncomfortable?" ”
At this moment, the old man's face was haggard, his face was pale, giving people a sense of weakness of being seriously ill, and he was weak, compared with the state before entering, he was like two people, he already looked old, and now he is several years old.
Lin Jingyu was taken aback.
This phenomenon was something he had never seen before, and he hurriedly helped the old man to the side and let him sit on a chair.
Seeing Lin Jingyu's nervous appearance, a smile appeared on the weak old man's face, "Grandpa is fine, you don't have to be nervous, it's just that you used too much effort to make eggs, that's why it's like this." ”
Now Lin Jingyu is already at a loss.
He sensed that the old man's condition had deteriorated to a certain point, and even showed signs that he might die at any moment.
This was the last thing he wanted to see, and he was scared from the bottom of his heart.
"Alas, it seems that grandpa is really old, and it has become so difficult to make an egg...... old man.
"No, no, grandpa is not old, grandpa is not old, grandpa is not old at all......"
Lin Jingyu's mouth kept chattering, he clearly remembered what the old man said, the man bleeds without tears!
So he held back the sadness in his heart and kept his expression calm, but there was still a touch of reluctance in his eyes, and there was still an inexplicable pain in his heart.
"Xiaoyu, in fact, you don't have to worry, grandpa can recover after a rest, it's okay."
The old man still said the same thing, as if everything was under control, and when he came back to his senses, he suddenly thought of something, "By the way, you hurry up and eat the eggs!" ”
After speaking, the old man flipped his hand, and a small porcelain vase appeared in the palm of his hand......
