Chapter 3: A frail old man

"Uhh......h

Lin Jingyu couldn't help but scream.

Seeing this, the old man's brows furrowed slightly, but his movements were still unhurried, he reached out and tapped a few times on Lin Jingyu's chest, and in an instant, Lin Jingyu's tense face was relieved, and the whole person relaxed.

After a while, Lin Jingyu had returned to normal, as if what had just happened had never happened, and the old man did not say too 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.

Not for a long time, slowly passed in the conversation between the two, Lin Jingyu was in the big wooden barrel, slowly soaking, unconsciously, the aroma in the house became thin, and the original rich color of the bath water was also 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 said suddenly.

Lin Jingyu raised his head, his eyes flashed with a little starlight, and when he mentioned the book, he was a little inexplicably depressed, and said, "Grandpa, I have memorized all that book, why don't I recite it for you now?" ”

The old man had a smile on his face, looking very happy, and waved his hand, "Hehe, no, grandpa believes in you." ”

Hearing this, Lin Jingyu scratched his head, and the old man's words seemed to praise him, which made him feel a little sweet in his heart.

"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." Lin Jingyu said.

"Will understand later."

“…… So what does it do? Lin Jingyu asked reluctantly.

"You'll know later, and you don't need to know that yet." The old man didn't care.

"Okay." Lin Jingyu was helpless.

Don't dwell on these, what the old man says, that's what it is, Lin Jingyu doesn't understand it now, maybe it doesn't matter to him now.

"Grandpa, you knocked me out of that wild boar, are you going to take it out and sell it?" Lin Jingyu asked.

The old man was stunned for a moment, and something came to his mind, "The wild boar...... Originally, 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 was good to make smoked bacon, the smoked bacon made by a wild boar was 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 said.

Lin Jingyu couldn't help but be stunned, selling for money?

"Grandpa, money can buy something to eat, right?"

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 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 bacon done quickly, taking it outside to sell it for money, and then buying other things, but he also felt depressed, what should he buy after he has money?

He didn't seem to know exactly what was out there.

"Alright, after soaking in the barrel for so long, it should be about the same."

The old man glanced at the water in the barrel, nodded slightly, 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 thinking.

After some inspection, the old man finally let go of Lin Jingyu's hand, "Well, Xiaoyu, when you take a bath in the future, you won't need to use this smelly water." ”

Lin Jingyu was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Grandpa, I don't use this kind of water for bathing, so what kind of water do I use?" ”

For so long, thinking about it, it should have been more than ten years, and the water used by Lin Jingyu to take a bath would give off some smell, except for those waters, the old man never allowed him to use anything else.

Of course, the smell of water that has been used before is not the same, and it should be of different kinds.

The bath water was also prepared by the old man himself for the teenager.

"As for what kind of water to use, I won't limit you, but it's usually clear water, depending on your own liking!" The old man replied.

Lin Jingyu nodded in understanding.

Then, Lin Jingyu came out of the big wooden barrel, smooth, the old man had already prepared clean clothes, but every one of those clothes was worn, "Xiaoyu, you have to learn to wash your own clothes in the future, you know?" ”

Lin Jingyu looked slightly stunned, he didn't understand why his grandfather suddenly said this, learn to wash clothes, in fact, he has already learned.

"Okay grandpa." Lin Jingyu responded.

Soon, he put on his clothes, and all the clothes on his body had been changed, except for one thing, that is, the black vest, the old man told him since he was a child, 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 said.

"Okay, I'll take a look."

Lin Jingyu picked up a pair of straw sandals and put them on his feet, his face was a little excited, and he walked straight out.

After a while, Lin Jingyu's voice sounded from outside, with a jubilant taste: "Grandpa, grandpa, the old hen has laid eggs......"

Hearing this, the old man had a smile on his face, "Okay, okay, Xiaoyu, bring the eggs quickly, and grandpa will give you ** eggs to eat." ”

Not long after, Lin Jingyu walked in slowly step by step from the outside, looking cautious, holding an oval egg in his hand, but the surface of the egg had a bronze color, which was very strange.

Holding an egg in his hand, Lin Jingyu had a cautious expression on his face, 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 the eggs fall to the ground.

So every time he picked up an egg, he was very careful not to drop an egg.

"You wait here, I'll give you the ** egg."

The old man took the egg, left a sentence and walked directly to a room, closed the door, and the egg went.

Lin Jingyu's face was full of excitement, he couldn't remember how many times this was the first time, and the old man did this every time, locking himself in the room without saying a word, and Lin Jingyu was not surprised.

But this is not the thing that Lin Jingyu is most excited about, what he is excited about is the eggs made by the old man, no matter what, he will never forget, it is a very delicious thing, Lin Jingyu likes that taste very much.

After a long wait, Lin Jingyu seems to have gotten used to it, after all, every time the old man is like this, he thinks that this is normal, so he will wait patiently every time.

However, at this time, there was a sudden sound outside the house, Lin Jingyu's brows furrowed slightly, and he didn't hesitate to get up and walk out.

Grandpa told him that when he was ** egg, don't let anything affect him, the noise that appeared outside obviously affected grandpa, Lin Jingyu couldn't let the sound continue to appear.

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 its appearance, it seemed to be a little scared, afraid of something.

Seeing this, Lin Jingyu's eyes were drawn back to the grass in front of the house, and the wild boar that had been knocked out was still lying there quietly at the moment, and his mind quickly made an analysis.

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 a question in his heart, and after a pause, he walked out, 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 said a word in his heart, and 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.

After that, only a muffled sound could be heard coming from the woods, accompanied by a scream, of course, it was the scream of a wild boar, and in a short time, less than half a minute, the sound 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 put it on the grass side by side with the wild boar before, remembering what his grandfather said, he could buy a lot of things by selling this smoked bacon, Lin Jingyu felt 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 in the house, Lin Jingyu sat down again, this time it was a lot quieter, after all, without the disturbance of wild boars, grandpa ** egg can also be more at ease.

I don't know how long it took, the room was already filled with a strong fragrance, it was a medicinal fragrance, and then Lin Jingyu only heard a bang, accompanied by a wave of air rising into the sky, and the wooden house was shaken several times, and it was crumbling.

Sensing this phenomenon, Lin Jingyu's face was obviously happy, and he quickly 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 greeted him and said excitedly.

However, soon, Lin Jingyu, who stepped forward, the excited face on his face became gloomy, and his expression suddenly became nervous, "Grandpa, you, how are you, are you uncomfortable?" ”

At this moment, the old man looked haggard and pale, giving people a feeling of weakness and weakness when he was seriously ill, and he was weak, compared with the state before he entered, he was like two people, he already looked old, and now he is several years old.

Lin Jingyu was taken aback, this phenomenon had never been seen before, and hurriedly helped the old man to a chair next to him and let him sit down slowly.

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 about anything, it's just that you used too much strength when you were ** egg, that's why it's like this." ”

Now Lin Jingyu is at a loss, he feels that the old man's state has reached a few points, and there is even a sign that he may die at any time, which is the last thing he wants to see, and he feels 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." The old man sighed.

"No, no, grandpa is not old, grandpa is not old, grandpa is really not old......"

Lin Jingyu kept saying in his mouth, he clearly remembered what the old man said, the man bled without tears, so he held back the sadness in his heart and kept his expression calm, but there was still a kind of reluctance in his eyes, and there was still an inexplicable pain in his heart.

"Xiaoyu, in fact, you don't have to worry about anything, grandpa can recover after a rest, it doesn't matter." The old man still said the same thing, as if everything was under control, "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.
