Chapter 8 People laugh at me for being crazy

"Tsk...... Luxury! What a fucking luxury! ”

Although he had already been mentally prepared for the luxury of the Lin Mansion, when he really saw the back garden, Bai He couldn't help but exclaim fiercely.

I saw that this garden was the size of a football field, the field of vision was very wide, and the cool breeze accompanied by the fragrance of flowers blew, which made people feel refreshed.

After the small building, there is a lotus pond that occupies about half of the area. There are nine curved long bridges on the lotus pond, stretching out from the small corridor on the side, a small pavilion towers at the end of the bridge, the water surface waves are flat like a mirror, reflecting the pavilion on the water surface, contrasting with each other, the green lotus is clustered by the bridge, the scenery is very dusty and delicate.

In the past, the lotus pond is a flower garden, all kinds of strange flowers and plants compete for beauty, the peony that captivates the country and the city, the gorgeous and amorous rose, the autumn chrysanthemum that floats in the dark fragrance, the orchid of the gentleman's wind, the end is beautiful. Bai He couldn't help but be happy in his heart, this is not only a good place to plant flowers, but also a good place to pick flowers!

At the other end of the flower garden, there is a courtyard about the size of the small courtyard in the west wing, with a circular arch separating the courtyard from the garden. However, there are not two-story single-family cottages in this small courtyard, but two low cottages. Looking over the arch, the blue brick wall and the red tile roof can be faintly seen, although it is not as chic as the small courtyard of the West Wing, but it has a quiet place.

After not taking two steps, Bai He suddenly stopped and hesitated. I saw a figure in front of the small courtyard.

The man was wearing a straw hat and was half-kneeling on the ground, looking like he was loosening the soil, and he was supposed to be a gardener.

Bai He shouted bad luck, he wanted to secretly find a place to plant cotton and make a fortune in a muffled voice, but he didn't expect that there would be someone in the back garden.

After looking around, he suddenly saw a few peach trees planted on the other side far away from the small courtyard, and Bai He's eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes!" Can't you hide from me if you can't mess with me? Let's go around! ”

Leaned over at the moment, looking for a way to the peach tree, there were flowers along the way, and I really didn't know it. Seeing that the gardener really didn't notice his movements, Bai He couldn't help but laugh proudly.

When I got to the ground, I found that this place was really secluded, and it looked like no one had been here for a long time.

"It's just that no one has been here." Bai He was very happy in his heart, and found a flower hoe not far away, and went straight to work without saying a word.

He is also a child from the countryside, since he was a child, he herded cattle in the field to pick manure and fertilize, all kinds of farm work are very familiar, although he rarely went to the field after junior high school, and his craftsmanship is a little rusty, but the simple farm work of all kinds of flowers is still difficult for him.

Seeing that there were still some low flowers and plants planted under the peach blossom tree, Baihe didn't care whether he knew it or not, so he directly pulled and bulldozed the matter, cleared out a vacant land of ten square sizes, and then waved a hoe, loosened the soil, dug a plow, dotted a pit, planted, watered, etc., all in one go.

I have to say that this body after crossing is much better than the body that was hollowed out by wine in the previous life, and I didn't feel tired at all after working for more than an hour.

Slowly, Bai He regained his feeling a little, and his interest came slowly, and he opened his mouth, just like when he was a child in the field, he recited "On the afternoon of hoeing day, sweat drops fall into the soil", he chanted:

"Others laugh at me for being too crazy, I laugh at others for not being able to see through it, and I don't see the tomb of Wuling Haojie,......"

He paused here, and laughed shamelessly in his heart: From today on, this poem is Lao Tzu's original, Tang Bohu, goodbye to you~

Learning from the bridge in Xing Ye's classic "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", he shook his head and put on a full shelf, and only after half a year did he slowly chant the last sentence: "No flowers, no wine......"

Who knew that as soon as the first word "nothing" came out, a cold cheer came from behind him: "Good poetry!" Why don't you read on? ”

Isn't this reading, what are you talking about? Day!

The quatrain of the future eternals was actually interrupted, and Bai He suddenly lost interest and scolded secretly. was about to turn back to Xingshi to ask for sin, but as soon as he turned around, his cold sweat came down:

Suffered, hi too much, was discovered!

Turning around slowly, he found that it was an old man in good spirits who interrupted his recitation.

The old man was wearing a straw hat and a sackcloth with some cuffs stained with mud, looking like an old flower farmer. The problem is that although this old man is inconspicuously dressed, his mental outlook is surprisingly good, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, a red face, and a long beard hanging down to his chest, very like a senior master.

"Sure enough, it's a big family, an old flower farmer is so stance, like a big man!" Bai He couldn't help but praise secretly, but his mind was spinning slightly, thinking about how to get this matter over.

He was looking at the old man, and the old man was waiting for his poem, the two looked at each other, one was full of expectation, the other was covered in cold sweat, and the scene was very strange.

Half a sound, but the old man suddenly looked away, Bai He breathed a sigh of relief, didn't I think about the problem too seriously? Maybe the former "me" often came to this back garden to pick flowers, and people have long been used to it?

"People laugh at me for being crazy, and I laugh at others for not being able to see through it...... Everyone in the world is drunk and I wake up alone, good sentence! Just as he was thinking, the old man spoke again.

I saw him chanting the first half of the new poem "just written" by the great poet Bai Da, first praised it, and then shook his head and closed his eyes with a look of intoxication: "I don't see the tomb of Wuling Haojie, there is no ......" suddenly stuck like constipation, opened his eyes to look at Baihe, and asked: "What's nothing, little brother, how to go down here?" ”

"No flowers, no wine, hoe fields!"

Bai He answered in his heart, but when the words came to his mouth, a sentence suddenly popped up: "What do you call me?" Little brother? You don't know who I am? ”

"Oh? Look at ...... old age."

The old man said half a step forward, and looked at him seriously with half-squinted eyes, only to see that the figure in front of him was tall and slender, with tattered clothes, a blue nose and swollen eyes, and his hair stood on end, bent like boiled noodles. Halfway, he shook his head and said, "It looks familiar, but if you look closely, you don't recognize it." ”

Ha ha! Dare is a high degree of presbyopia, that's easy to do! Bai He forgot how fresh and refined his appearance was at this time, and he only thought that this old man couldn't recognize who he was, so he laughed happily to himself.

How did the old man know what he was thinking, and he was only thinking about his constipation...... Oh, thinking of his poem, and asked: "Little brother, I don't know ...... last sentence" The look in his eyes revealed a look like a prostitute seeing an Oiran but couldn't lift the curtain of her boudoir, not to mention how hungry and thirsty she was.

Dare to love is still a poet idiot!

When Bai He saw it, his heart was even happier, and they all said that the ancients were good at poetry, and when I saw it today, it was really true! However, this old man's realm is afraid to be higher, he is a good poet and lustful.

was worried about how to find a reason to divert the old man's attention and cover up the matter of planting cotton, of course Bai He would not say the last sentence easily, and then hang his appetite first. So he spread his hands and said: "The article is natural, and I will get it by chance, I ...... Ah, I mean small...... The little one had a flash of inspiration, and he was fortunate enough to chant three sentences, but now that he is interrupted by your old man, he has no inspiration. He sighed as he spoke, feeling very regretful.

"The article is made by nature, and the magic hand is ...... The article is natural, and the magic hand is ......" When the old man heard this, he paused for a moment, and then beat his chest and said: "Oops! It's all blamed on the old man for being too anxious and interrupting the inspiration of the little brother, it's a pity! It's a pity that such a good verse! As he spoke, he sighed again and again, and his expression was not depressed.

Seeing that this trick really worked, Baihe was simply happy, dare to disturb Lao Tzu to plant cotton, and see if Lao Tzu hangs you!

Seeing that the old man's attention was successfully diverted, of course he would not be stupid enough to take the initiative to provoke the fire, so he went to the lotus pond to get a bucket of water and came back, watered the cotton seeds that had just been planted, and planned to slip away quietly.

Who knew that he had just come back from fetching water, but the old man had already come back to his senses and asked, "Little brother, what are you doing?" ”

Bai He's hands shook when he heard this, and he almost knocked over the bucket, shouting in his heart that he was unlucky: It's over, it's over, and I can't get around it after all! Damn, how can I plant a flower and act like a thief? But he said quietly and perfunctorily: "You have seen it when you are old, and the little one is watering the flowers." ”

"Oh, dare to love the little brother is also here for this kind of flower...... the old man nodded.

- Isn't this nonsense?

"What is that little brother planting?"

"Cotton."

"Cotton?" When the old man heard this, he suddenly became interested, "The old man has studied ikebana for 20 years, and he doesn't know all the strange flowers and plants in the world, and there are nine out of ten, but he has never heard of cotton." I wonder where this cotton came from? ”

Of course you don't know cotton, but if you can know it, you'll have a ghost! Bai He couldn't help but roll his eyes, could it be that cotton only appeared in China hundreds of years later, and I want to tell you?

No way! You have to think of a reason to scare him, otherwise as soon as Lao Tzu turns his head, he will shovel Lao Tzu's cotton, what should he do?
