Chapter 108: The Land of Nothing
"The Land of Nothing?" Fan Jinsong and the others looked at each other, what kind of place is this? I've never heard of it!
On the contrary, Director Liu listened to Xiao Xuan's answer, and after savoring it, he laughed: "What, you three stay here, I suddenly remembered that the clothes at home have not been confiscated, I have to go back first!" Laughing, the three of them were left to be confused.
"Is the old coach going abroad? The country of nothing, Lao Du, Tom, have you heard of this country? Fan Jinsong asked.
Tom shook his head, and Lao Du replied directly: "I haven't heard of it either!" Did the old coach go to a country called Wu or something, and this kid remembered it wrong? β
"What kind of country is Ukraine? Uruguay? No, football is the mainstream sport there, and I haven't heard of anything outstanding about basketball! Fan Jinsong touched the little stubble on his chin and pondered.
"Is it Ukraine? The basketball league there is okay, but I heard that it hasn't been safe there lately, they ......" Tom also interjected, so frightened that Fan Jinsong and Du Bin hurriedly covered his mouth, "Don't talk about politics, don't talk about politics!" Do you want Lao Xian'er's novel to be 404? β
"Where else can I go!" Du Bin looked at the two of them with a sad face, and when he saw Tom, his eyes suddenly lit up! "That's right! Uganda! Did Lao Long see the talent of that black boy in your team and go over there to find a player? β
"Pull it down! Your imagination is too wild! Fan Jinsong interrupted Lao Du's words, "This kid must have misremembered!" Ding Xiaoxuan! β
Xiao Xuan had just run to the sidelines to pick up a water cup and prepare to drink water, when he heard someone calling him and turned around.
Fan Jinsong walked to him in three steps and two steps, "Xiao Xuan, are you mistaken?" What kind of country is nothing? Think about it again? β
Ding Xiaoxuan hugged the water cup tightly and said loudly: "It's the country of nothing!" I remember correctly! Afraid that he wouldn't believe it, he pulled the Long Yiren next to him over after speaking, "Sister Yiren, did Grandpa Long say that he went to the Land of Nothing?" β
"Hmmm! That's right! Iren also nodded earnestly.
"Hey! Don't make any noise! Tom walked over with his phone in his hand, looking at it, "I was thinking this was a joke the old gentleman made to us!" I just looked it up on the Internet, and the meaning of non-existence is illusory and non-existent, so isn't the country of non-existence a country that does not exist? β
Hearing Tom's explanation, Fandu and the others looked at each other dumbfounded......
β¦β¦
Near the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River in China, there is a famous scenic spot - Shennongjia.
A bus from Yichang to Shennongjia drove slowly and leisurely on the winding mountain road.
"Boy, pull over for me, I'll get out of the car!" An old man with a huge hiking bag and a gray hiking hat greeted the driver in front of him.
The master didn't look back and asked, "Old man, there is no village and no shop here!" Are you sure you're here? β
"Yes, yes, right here! Hehe! Thank you, lad! β
The car stopped a little on the side of the road, and after the old man got out of the car, he walked away, and after a while, he disappeared without a trace.
"Whewβit's still good air here!" Old Man Long took off his hat and took a deep breath. After confirming the direction, he walked into a small path that was not very conspicuous.
Although I haven't been here for many years, it seems that the grass and trees here have not changed, and they are still the same. The old man Long walked like this, enjoying the beauty of the nature around him. Before dark, we finally arrived at the destination of this trip - Sanssouci Village.
As soon as he stepped into the village, he saw a naked half-sized boy leading a group of dolls to practice in the huge open space in front of the village.
"Stone pillars! Is it a stone pillar?" the old man looked at this back with some familiarity, but he was not sure about it.
The half-man heard someone calling out to him and turned around. Although the sky was dark, Shi Zhu's eyesight was different from ordinary people, "Master Long? What are you doing here! After speaking, he jumped in front of the old man Long.
"Hehe, I haven't seen you for almost ten years, you've grown so big! I remember you were so tall before! Grandpa Long smiled and gestured.
Shi Zhu seemed to have a very intimate relationship with him, and rubbed his head against the old man's chest, "Master Long, I miss you!" I thought I wouldn't see you again! β
The old man put the mountaineering bag behind him on the ground with a smile and said to him, "Aren't I here?" Hehe, tell the dolls not to practice yet! See what Master Long has brought to you?"
Shizhu put two fingers into his mouth, gave a loud whistle, and beckoned to the children who were curiously watching here, some of them running, some jumping, and surrounded like a group of monkeys.
Old Man Long opened his backpack, which was full of ordinary snacks, and packed the whole book to the brim.
"You can only take two per person!" Shi Zhu is like the king of these children, under his command, these seven and eight children came over in an orderly manner to choose two packs of small snacks, and then stood aside.
There were still a lot of things left in the backpack, and after everyone had finished taking the stone pillars and choosing two of them, he carefully closed the backpack.
Old Man Long watched his every move and said with a smile: "Silly boy, I have this for you, I am so old, and I don't like to eat this!" β
Shi Zhu smiled at the old man: "I know!" But you can't let them all eat at once. Keep the rest as a reward and reward them later! β
"Not bad! It's a bit of a little village chief! Old Man Long touched his head with a smile, and then asked, "Is your grandfather okay?" What about your parents? β
"My parents went to the field to harvest the oranges, and this year the oranges ripened late, but they will be sweeter this way! I'll give you something to eat when they get back!" Shi Zhu opened the package of the snack and ate it in small bites, and replied, "My master hasn't been in the field much since last year, and now he is in the house." I'll take you there, and he'll be glad he knows you're coming! β
"No, I know where his house is, I'll go by myself!" Old Man Long picked up his hiking bag and handed it to the stone pillar, and walked alone to the depths of the village.
In the deepest part of the village, a lonely stone hut stood. Old Man Long walked to the front of the house and was not polite, and pushed the door in.
"Is this the smell of Zhenhai?" There was not a glimmer of light in the room, and the people inside seemed to sniff vigorously with their noses before making the old voice.
"Old patriarch, your nose is a spirit!"
"Hehe, I can't see in the past two years! It's all about the nose and the ears! Sit, find a place to sit by yourself! β
When Old Man Long heard this, he didn't offer to light the lamp, so he groped in the dark to find a stool and sat down.
"What's wrong with your eyes? I remember when I was here! Old Man Long asked with concern.
The old man in the dark laughed and said, "You are a young man, I was in my eighties when you came over that year!" How long has it been since this elapsed? Can it be ten years, right? β
"Yes, it's been 10 years. Alas, you will call me the afterlife, and the people outside will have to call me grandpa, old man! Ha ha! β
"Oh! It's been 10 years! And the fruit I gave you, you gave it to others? β
"I came to you this time to ask you about this fruit. I couldn't find a suitable person for the past ten years, until a few days ago I met a fat boy and thought he was still good and gave him the fruit to eat. I thought it would make him thinner and lighter, but now it doesn't seem to have changed! Is it that it has been left for too long and the fruit has no effect? β
"It's the first time I've heard of what you're talking about, and there are no fat people in my village, so if you do this, you still have to bring him over to show me if you have a chance." Don't give the doll a bad meal! β
"Well, that's what I'm worried about!" Old Man Long nodded, but he didn't know if anyone in the darkness would be able to see.
"But since you're here, don't be in a hurry, stay here for two more days, and tell me about the outside!"
Old Man Long's other purpose for coming here was to be quiet and quiet, he had already guessed that there would definitely be many people coming to him after the league, so he simply disappeared from the public eye in advance.
"Hey! That's what I mean! Ha ha! β
