Chapter 899: Secret
This couple is really welcoming. They beckoned Zhen Fan and Miles in. Miles? Simon entered the room and introduced to the old couple, "Hello, uh, sorry to disturb you. Am I Miles? Simon. This is ...... My Teacher Fan? Mr. Zhen. ”
"Disturbing us? Who cares about this, we haven't had a guest visit in years! The old woman smiled at Miles? Simon said, "Come in, see you like a wolf, you must not have eaten dinner." That's right...... Are you Zhen? Is it a teacher? ”
"Actually...... I'm a doctor. And of course his teacher! Zhen Fan couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand and shook the old woman's hand, "You can call me Doctor Zhen, of course it's better to call me Zhen." ”
"It's a pleasure for you to come and stay with us!" The old woman hurriedly invited Zhen Fan and the two to come in, "My skills are very good, especially the pork chops I make, if you are patient, I will prepare them for you immediately." Okay, come and sit down, hey...... Old man...... Ben, come over and talk to the two guys. I'll go prepare the coffee first. She said as she turned to the old man who was following behind.
"Hello, young man, you can teach me Ben, just as my wife called me just now. You can also call her Shasta. We've lived here for over fifty years, and when we were younger, there were some guests who came to visit us, and at that time, ...... Shasta was the prettiest woman in town. Ben came over and sat on the old sofa and talked to Zhen Fan and Miles. The old man was also very welcoming.
"Here comes the coffee, it's for you. Ben, dear, do it yourself. I've got to go make dinner! Shasta walked over with a smile, then touched Ben's hair, wiped his hands, smiled at Zhen Fan and Miles, and walked into the kitchen, "Wait a minute, kids!" ”
"Yes. I'm sorry for your trouble! Miles felt uncomfortable, so he stood up and said to Shasta.
"Forget it, she likes it. It's like we've had no guests for more than ten years! Ben smiled and waved for Miles to sit down. You are the first guests in more than a decade, of course...... Except for those who knocked on the door to ask for water or asked, there were ...... Except for the neighbors who tried to get over the fence of my house, cutting down the trees on the front lawn. They don't like old men. Especially people like us. ”
"Like you? Aren't you enthusiastic? Sky...... These people must have taken the wrong medicine! Miles shrugged his shoulders. Puzzled, he said, "You are one of the best people I have ever met, you must know that before this, we asked a lot of people, and they were not willing to let us in, only you...... You are good people! Ben, really good guy! Miles said loudly with some grievances.
"Well, that's what we thought too. But...... It always felt like we didn't fit in with the people in the town, and if ...... Not lived here for years. We may move. If...... If we were young, we would have left here and found a place where we felt warm! Ben smiled, "I'm going to prepare the coffee myself, Shasta always does this to me, let me do everything myself, why...... I'm going to marry a wife who will do everything myself? Aha-" He snorted and left.
"It's hard to imagine why the people in this town are so selfish?" Miles shrugged his shoulders at Zhen Fan, "I really don't understand why no one wants to associate with such a good couple." Don't...... Is it because those people are selfish and ungenerous? ”
"Don't jump to conclusions, Miles, we're always fooled by some words or the illusions we see. Maybe we'll find some clues, but not now, and now is the time to draw conclusions. But...... I looked at the couple's Yintang really something abnormal, they must have suffered something. Zhen Fan looked at Miles and smiled, "We might as well stay, we will always know something." ”
"Well, I hope so. But...... I still feel sorry for this old couple. Miles said, letting out a sigh of relief, when he saw Ben coming over with a cup of coffee.
"This is my only remaining Nanshan coffee, don't miss it!" Saying that, he sat in his place, raised his glass to Zhen Fan and Miles, took a sip himself, put it down, looked at Miles and smiled, "You must be very strange, why do people like us have no friends, right?" ”
"Yes, I did!" Miles spread his hands and said honestly what he thought, "You guys...... Very friendly, very welcoming, and even very kind, why haven't you had friends for more than a decade? I really don't understand. And also...... How can you tolerate such an environment? ”
"There's nothing intolerable." Ben smiled, "Okay, I can tell you for the reason, but ...... I'm not sure you'll want to leave right away, so ...... Let's talk about it after dinner, this matter does have something to do with us, maybe it's our own reason! ”
"It makes me even more curious!" Zhen Fan spread out his hand and smiled, "I feel that your room is a little cold, and this is not more cold than the general cold weather, but ...... A feeling. And also...... It's hot now, and your house is so cool, I don't see you having air conditioning, and there's a nearby lake that's far away from you, so there's no geographical reason at all......"
"You feel it?" Ben smiled, but this smile was a little bitter, not as warm and relaxed as before, but he smiled anyway, "Yes, your feeling is very correct. This is one of the reasons why the neighbors don't come, but ...... There's a reason for that, and why it's ......"
"Alright, guests...... Dinner is ready! Then Shasta's voice came from the dining room, and she walked into the drawing-room, wiped her hands on her apron, and said with a smile, "Go and taste the taste of my dinner, come here, guests, don't be inhibited." He shook his head at Zhen Fan and Miles.
"Thank you very much, Shasta, you are one of the nicest people I have ever met, after dinner, may I hear your story? You seem to be the ones with the story, and you're ...... I promise, I'll give you a gift after listening to it, and as for what, allow me to sell it! Zhen Fan said to Shasta with a grin.
"Gifts? No, no, no, Dr. Zhen, we don't need any gifts, I'm so honored that you can eat my dinner here, come on, boys, sit down and taste my pork chops! Shasta smiled when he heard Zhen Fan's words and beckoned to the two of them.
"Okay, let's go, Miles, I feel like I'm mesmerized by the aroma, a little bit of a can't wait!" As he spoke, Zhen Fan shook his head at Miles, who hurriedly followed Zhen Fan over and sat down in the restaurant. The pork chop is really well done, the color is very good, and the taste is very good.
When they were eating, the old couple didn't speak, they bowed their heads and ate silently, and after eating, Shasta went to clean up the table, Ben, Zhen Fan and Miles went to the living room to talk, Ben made three more cups of coffee, and the three of them chatted while talking to coffee.
"Ben, there's something I have to talk to you about." Zhen Fan suddenly looked at Ben, and then said with a somewhat stern face, "I think there is something wrong with this house of yours." ”
"I can see it too!" Miles said to Zhen Fan, "It feels like there's something in there, actually...... It is my feeling that someone's soul may be here, but it seems that it is not in the house, but outside the lawn behind the house. Maybe we can help you! The latter part of his sentence is addressed to Ben.
"No, no, no, you don't understand anything, it's good here, I don't need your help!" Ben's face suddenly became a little ugly, his voice was very loud, and he was a little panicked, because the movement was too big, and even the coffee was spilled on his hands, but he didn't know it.
"Relax, relax, Ben, you're a good person, I know you must have something hard to talk about, we can be together because God destined us to have an experience, say it, maybe we can help you. You know, there is only one chance, and since we can sense the strangeness of you here, I believe we can also help you deal with this matter. Trust us, we're all good people! Zhen Fan looked at the old man very calmly.
Ben slowly calmed down, but he still shook his head firmly and said, "No, no, I don't need help, if you want to stay here for the night, then you don't talk about it anymore." If you want to leave, then ...... You'll find the door to leave, right over there! As he spoke, he pointed to the door.
The meaning is obvious, either you shut up and stay here for the night and leave tomorrow, or you can leave now and don't get into any trouble. Seeing that Ben was stubborn, Zhen Fan had no choice but to shrug his shoulders and said with a smile: "Okay, Ben, since you don't want to say it, we won't ask about this matter anymore, okay, we decided to stay, and don't ask about this matter anymore until we leave." ”
"It's better to do that, lads, it's not that I'm neglecting the guests, it's ...... This is a private matter between me and Shasta, and we're used to it, so ...... It's a blessing to stay like this here. Ben's mood slowly calmed down, and he smiled bitterly at Zhen Fan, "Maybe that's why those neighbors and friends are slowly alienating me." That's how weird my temper is! ”
"Perhaps, I think when you were young, you must have had a good temper and a warm-hearted person. And now too! Zhen Fan smiled and nodded at him, "Okay, which of us is in which room?" I see you guys have three rooms here. (To be continued......)
