Chapter 699: Encountering a Crazy Old Man
The scorpion widened its eyes, looked up for a long time and didn't feel which side was particularly luxuriant, which side was particularly depressed, the feeling was the same, the branches and leaves were incredible, but the direction of the branches was a little different, and finally gritted his teeth, no matter what common sense or Rowan plate, follow the feeling and walked well, and the scorpion would make a mark on the tree after walking for a while to prevent going back, and by the way, look up at the direction of the branches, and move forward with only the first impression.
Unconsciously, the scorpion walked to a seemingly empty place, saw a small wooden house, and immediately felt that the structure of the wooden house was very familiar, and then looked at the front of the wooden house, as well as the familiar piece of cabbage field, the scorpion's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth showed a smile. Strode towards the cabin.
Unlike the Shilipo wooden house, this wooden house has a lack of sheltered fence in front of it. The scorpion stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a while, the familiar voice of the crazy old man came from inside the room: "Die'er, go open the door, I'm busy?" ”
As the scorpion expected, there was no reply from the woman in the house. The scorpion waited for a moment, then continued to knock on the door, and the impatient voice of the mad old man came from inside the house: "Who is it?" At the same time, the door opened.
Sure enough, it was the crazy old man of Shilipo, the yellow ginger in the doctor's mouth, and the scorpion saluted the crazy old man with a fist: "Old man, don't come to harm?" ”
The crazy old man blinked his slender eyes and looked the scorpion up and down for a moment, and asked with a displeased expression, "Who are you, have we met?" Why are you close to me for no reason? ”
The scorpion was stunned for a moment, really delirious, and smiled slightly. In a gentle tone, he said, "We've met." Don't you remember? ”
The crazy old man looked at the scorpion twice. At the same time, the scorpion also carefully looked at the crazy old man's facial features, it was really exquisite, if he washed his face and removed the wrinkles on his face, he might really be a beautiful man.
"I don't know you, and you don't have to be close to me, my lady doesn't like to be disturbed. You'd better go! Oh, head west and you'll find your way down! The mad old man frowned, and when he finished speaking, he closed the door at once, and then, as if he were talking to someone in the room, he said softly, "It's okay, I'm asking for directions." Butterflies. What do you want to eat tonight? The husband will do it for you. "It was as if there was a woman named 'Die'er' living in the house. The scorpion sighed slightly, and said in his heart, if the eldest lady saw this scene, she didn't know whether to kill this negative man.
The west is the way down the mountain, so is the east considered to be entering the belly of the mountain? Then why did you keep going east and come back again? The scorpion pointed to the way with his finger in confusion, but he didn't plan to go down the mountain at this time? So where should I go now? His strength is not as good as that old man, and he is not as familiar with the environment as the old man, so he has little chance of winning rashly, but if he leaves here for the time being, the scorpion will turn around and look at the surrounding environment, and then come back, I am afraid it will not be easy.
After thinking about it, the scorpion still raised his hand and knocked on the door again.
"What's the matter?" The crazy old man was obviously very unhappy, and opened the door and asked unceremoniously.
"Look, old man, it's not early now, and there's still some way down the mountain, I want to ask, can I rest here for a night and leave tomorrow?" The scorpion tries to convince the crazy old man to let her stay, after all, she has a chance to do so.
"You little girl is really strange, I already told you, you can't stay here, my lady will be unhappy, hey! Do you think I'm handsome and want to stick to me! Let me tell you, my lady is a very powerful cultivator, be careful that she cultivates a plant and poisons you! The crazy old man stared at the scorpion and said unceremoniously, while looking down at the side of the scorpion, and continued with a look of sudden realization, "Oh, by the way, I remember, you are the little girl from Shilipo, oops! You actually chased me here from Shilipo...... Oh yo, how is this good, you better hurry up, if you are seen by my butterfly, it's terrible, it's amazing! After saying that, as if he had seen a ghost, he hurriedly slammed the door slammed shut, and did not even leave a chance for the scorpion to interject and say a word.
"......" The scorpion's body trembled slightly, and suddenly his head was full of black lines, and after a while, he disturbed the back of his head, and said to himself: "What and what!" ”
With nowhere else to go, the scorpion turned over in annoyance, half-lying on the branch, with his head resting on his hands and a green leaf in his mouth, staring at the lush leaves that almost covered the entire sky, wondering what to do next. First of all, the question is whether you should find an opportunity to kill the crazy old man and fulfill his promise to the eldest lady. After thinking about it, I still can't kill it, because I haven't gotten the rootless flower yet, according to what the eldest lady said, there is only one place in the entire Eastern Wilderness that has a rootless flower, that is, the cave where the cat is, and only one person will cultivate the rootless flower, that is, the crazy old man, not to mention, the danger factor of killing the crazy old man is too high, even if it can be easily solved, in case you can't find the cave, or if you enter the cave but find that there is no rootless flower in it, or after more than 10,000 years, What if all those flowers are dead? The scorpion sighed lightly and said, "Let's wait until we find the rootless flower!" ”
I kept watch over the tree, and after a long time, I finally saw the mad old man come out of the house. The scorpion immediately rolled over and followed.
The crazy old man carried the kettle and poured water on the cabbage, and without even looking at the scorpion, he said in an impatient tone: "Little girl, you really don't want to follow me anymore, it will be bad to see my butterfly when it comes back later!" ”
The scorpion thought for a while, and followed the words of the crazy old man: "What, Miss Butterfly is out?" ”
"That's right! She said she wanted to go back to the clan and have a look, but she would be back later! The crazy old man replied nonchalantly.
The scorpion thought again and continued: "That...... Sir, I want to clarify one thing to you, that is, although you are very handsome, I do not admire you, I admire Miss Die'er......"
"What?" The crazy old man suddenly raised his head and stared at the scorpion with hatred, as if he was about to tear his rival to pieces.
The scorpion immediately raised his hands and clarified: "Don't worry, I don't have that kind of fetish!" Seeing that the crazy old man's expression softened a little, the scorpion showed a flattering smile and said with a smile, "I just admire Miss Die'er's superb cultivation skills and want to see her demeanor!" ”
"That's right, our butterfly's cultivation technology in the entire Eastern Wilderness is afraid that few people can compare, you see, you look at these Chinese cabbage is what she taught me, when the Chinese cabbage is ripe, I will marry her, tell you, the patriarch has promised our family affairs, saying that as long as I am willing to stay in the clan, I will marry the butterfly to me." The crazy old man's face showed a rare happiness.
The scorpion was suddenly a little moved, because he knew the end of the story, a little sadness welled up in his heart, and he couldn't help asking, "That...... Then you agreed to the patriarch's request? ”
"Of course I have to agree, you don't know how much I want to marry Die'er, but the patriarch said that there are no good days recently, otherwise I will marry her now." The crazy old man said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"But what if you have to leave after all?" The scorpion asked tentatively.
"Why should I leave?" The crazy old man raised his head, asked with doubts in his eyes, and suddenly straightened up as if he remembered something, stared at the scorpion with a vigilant look, and put on a look of being ready to shoot at any time, and shouted at the scorpion, "What kind of intentions do you have?" Oh! I know you're not simple, did you come to break us up on purpose? ”
The scorpion instinctively took two steps back, retreated to a safe distance, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Of course not!" You don't know how much I hope you can grow old together, and how much I hope that Miss Die'er will be happy! I'm here to bless you, yes, I'm here to bless you! ”
Because he knew the ending, when the scorpion said this, he was a little weak-hearted, but the crazy old man seemed to be very useful, and laughed, and at that moment of smirking, the scorpion suddenly felt that this old man didn't seem to be as old as he thought, maybe clean up, still a personable teenager.
The scorpion recovered from the smile of the crazy old man, looked at the cabbage field, and asked tentatively: "Miss Die'er, I only taught you to grow Chinese cabbage, not to teach you to plant anything else, such as flower ......."
The crazy old man lowered his head and said with a shy smile: "Die'er said that Chinese cabbage is the cutest and most beautiful plant in the world, and when we get married, she will give birth to a group of babies like Chinese cabbage for me." As he spoke, his eyes suddenly became firm, the blazing gaze, the serious look was like he had sworn when he joined the killer organization, and he continued firmly, "So, as long as I grow Chinese cabbage, Die'er will be very happy, as long as Die'er is happy, I will always grow Chinese cabbage!" ”。
The corners of the scorpion's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart that Miss Butterfly's taste was really unique enough. Originally, the scorpion still wanted to get to the bottom of it, until he asked how to plant the rootless flower, or where the cave was, but looking back and thinking about the last time, if he angered this old man who didn't know when he would have a seizure like last time, it would be a big deal, and he said in his heart, it's better not to be too hasty.
I have been following the words of the crazy old man, accompanying him to water the cabbage and fertilize it, and soon the old man let down his guard against the scorpion, and when he heard that the scorpion had nowhere to go, he wanted to build a hut next to his house, and offered to help.
Although the crazy old man is crazy and often talks nonsense, but the ability to build a wooden house is really not built, he can simply be among the ranks of professionals, and within two hours, he helped the scorpion build a small wooden house next to his own wooden house, which is similar to his own wooden house, so far, the scorpion finally became a neighbor with the crazy old man.
