Chapter 176: The Old Man
Wooden houses, alleys, bluestone pavement, strange and inexplicably have a familiarity, and the peaceful atmosphere that blends together unconsciously makes people want to stay, and enjoy this rare blandness quietly.
Stepping on the bluestone road in the alley, the familiarity from my feet made me feel that I would not get lost with my eyes closed, and when I arrived in Qiandeng Town, Senior Sister Yu did not leave directly, and did not walk in front like before, quietly walking on my side, not tight, not slow, even the resolute indifference of the body was inexplicably dispersed, and it seemed to be easier than me.
I didn't choose to go back to my home in Qiandeng Town directly, but let that familiar feeling take me away, no purpose, no idea, I just wanted to enjoy this peace quietly, I glanced at Senior Sister Yu on my side imperceptibly, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, I really don't know how long Senior Sister Yu's ease can last, and I do have an idea in my heart that I want to keep Senior Sister Yu, even if it can be a moment longer, it's good.
"Ding Ding Ding"
Listening to the sound of striking iron in my ears, I couldn't help but pause when I stepped on the stone bridge of the waterway, although the sound was very brittle, and it sounded very abrupt in this peaceful alley, but when I wanted to frown, I didn't feel the slightest irritability, it seemed that the sound of striking iron was stained with the leisurely of this thousand-lamp alley.
The gatehouse with a wide opening, the stove for striking iron is placed in front of the shop, it looks very dazzling in this not wide alley, and there is a big word written on the front of the bucket, but it is not "iron", but "Zhang"!
Eyes crossed the guise, and when he caught a glimpse of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in front of the stove, his eyes immediately stopped, it seemed that because of the frequent ironing, the semi-naked skin looked a little black, but not deep, the thin body turned a hammer longer than its body and kept hitting a piece of red-hot iron on the stove, again and again, as if he did not feel tired, seeing this the corner of his lips couldn't help but bring a faint smile, and then he opened his mouth to greet: "Xiaohai is striking iron again?" ”
"Bang!"
The voice fell, but the hammer picked up by Xiao Hai was smashed, and it smashed directly on the iron felt in front of him, and then he heard Xiao Hai roar impatiently: "Didn't you say it?!" Don't bother me striking iron! Buy weapons and find a boss! Don't you want Brother Chen!? Xiao Hai, who hung his head, raised his eyes as he roared, and when he saw me clearly, his voice was full of anger and suddenly froze.
Seven years and thousands of lights, Xiao Hai can be said to be one of the few people in the town who can play with me and be younger than me, not only because he is the apprentice of Master Wuguanhai, but also because of his character, he has always been so out of jump, even if he can play with a piece of wood, he can play lively, looking at the surprised Xiao Hai in front of him, the smile on the corner of his lips couldn't help but deepen, and at the same time said: "It's only been three months, can you use such an accident." ”
"When" "Xiaohai! I'm lazy again, isn't it! ”
As soon as Xiao Hai wanted to speak, a burst of shouting suddenly came from inside the shop, and the loud voice shook the blacksmith shop a little, and the shout fell A stout middle-aged man then rushed out of the shop, making his eyes dark.
"Uncle Zhang."
"Yo! Little Loel is back! Lao Hongtou said that you are far away, he has to catch the car by himself, hum, no one is drinking with Lao Zhang and me. ”
Looking at the black-faced and dark-skinned man in front of him, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, many things at home in Qiandeng Town were made by Uncle Zhang himself, and I couldn't say that there was a reason why I could have such a good amount of alcohol when I entered Tangjiabao, he liked to drink with me at night when he had nothing to do, and he always said that men must drink to do it, but I knew that he was trying to make me forget about Xin'er for the time being, otherwise Xiaohai would not use a child's smile and scold when he wanted to drink, so that Xiaohai's eyes were red.
I haven't seen him for three months, and I don't know how much wine he wants to pour me, and my heart is just bitter, but when I see that black face, I can't help but be bold, and then I said with a smile: "Isn't this coming back to drink with my uncle, but I don't know if your treasure is enough, uncle?" ”
Uncle Zhang was stunned at first when he heard this, he had always taken the initiative to pull people to drink, and suddenly heard me take the initiative but didn't react, but it was just a meal, Uncle Zhang's black face trembled and laughed and shouted: "Haha, enough!" Drink as much as you want! Luo Boy has grown up! ”
Looking at Uncle Zhang, who was smiling, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he really didn't see Uncle Zhang lack wine, although he didn't like to drink, but he did like the feeling of drinking together, a faint smile flashed on his face, and he gestured slightly to Senior Sister Yu who was standing beside him, and then said: "Uncle, I'll take Senior Sister home to clean up first." ”
"Oh? Masters? Hearing this, Uncle Zhang, who was smiling, was stunned for a moment, and then turned his gaze to Senior Sister Yu, and said in a slightly strange tone.
Looking at Xiao Hai, who also turned his gaze with curiosity, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, for the people of Qiandeng Town, if they didn't settle here, they would always be just a passerby, and for passers-by, they would always have an attitude of ignoring them, no matter how special that passer-by was.
"Uncle." Senior Sister Yu, who was standing quietly beside her, felt Uncle Zhang's gaze with indifferent eyes, and suddenly raised her eyes and said softly.
"Good! Good! Ha ha! Uncle Zhang seemed to think of something when he heard this, and his dark face suddenly rose with joy, and he laughed out loud after two consecutive hellos.
Hearing Uncle Zhang's laughter, his stunned eyes suddenly woke up, and then he looked at Senior Sister Yu beside him, although the voice was still flat, but it seemed to be a little different from the usual Senior Sister Yu.
"Uncle, Xiaohai, are you there?" "Little Luoer?"
The crisp bell suddenly came from behind itself, followed by a very faint fragrance, I couldn't say the name, I didn't wait to turn my eyes and suddenly thought of the name of the person who came, and then said suspiciously: "Lan'er? ”
A little familiar verdant robe, lightly attached to the body looks very fit, a wisp of silk wrapped around the willow waist, a bamboo basket on the jade arm, the slightly thin little face seems to be surprised with a touch of red, it looks cute.
"Hehe, Xiao Luo'er, it's not even called Sister Lan." Hearing my name called, Lan'er, who was carrying a bamboo basket, had a dark look of happiness on her face, and after laughing, she spoke again: "It's okay to make more pastries today, take them." With that, he lifted the bamboo basket straddling his thin wrist and handed it to me.
Seeing Lan'er's movements, knowing Lan'er's habits, she seemed to be weak, but she was firmer and stronger than most people, and her popularity in the town was also the best, so she didn't refuse, and directly took the bamboo basket handed over by Lan'er.
The hand holding the bamboo basket had not yet been put down, and Xiao Hai, who was standing on the side, suddenly said: "Sister Lan, the basket has been given to Brother Chen, what should I do with Master, we can't make cakes." ”
"Huh?"
Hearing Xiao Hai's words, he couldn't help but be stunned, just now he remembered that this basket was obviously for Xiao Hai and Uncle Zhang, and the hand holding the basket suddenly paused.
