Chapter 16: The Old Man Talks
Zhendina didn't know what was going on with this strange man, so she squatted beside her, looking very bored and pulling the grass, and even put the grass in her mouth and chewed it, and then sucked it out, which was really disgusting. If she saw a stranger on weekdays, Zhendina would have avoided it, but now she didn't want to move at all, so she could only ignore this guy named Xu Qing.
On the other side, Lulunaka teased Tuju and made her think nonsense, then continued to stretch out her hand to Xu Qing, "By the way, it's time to lend me your knife to play, I won't let you suffer." β
Xu Qing touched his head, this is not something difficult for a strong man, anyway, it is not a magic weapon, it is just a big iron rod, it is a big deal to find a good one. However, when it comes to handy, it reminds Xu Qing that when he left the Central Plains and went west, he brought a lot of people with him, and there were also a lot of divine weapons, and everyone was an ironclad divine soldier...... In the end, only three people survived. As for those divine weapons, they are not as effective as this iron rod. Delicate and precious things are always particularly fragile.
Thinking about it like this, Xu Qing was a little reluctant to use this weapon that followed him. "You're not going to break it, are you?" Xu Qing looked at Lulunaka in a tone of disbelief. This alchemist who looks like a girl should be similar to the alchemist of the Central Plains, right? Such a guy always likes to fool others with completely uncertain possibilities.
"If you give it to me, I'll give you a weapon that's even more handy. Lulunaka continued. Xu Qing thought about it, but still threw the knife to Lulunaka. This time Xu Qing did it on purpose, this iron rod was not light, and it was even taller than himself, so he threw it at Lulunaka. Tu Ju, who saw Xu Qing's movements, frowned slightly, but didn't say anything - this man has always been so rude, if he really angers others, he will kowtow and kneel at that time, and he will do it sincerely and sincerely, without procrastination at all. Xu Qing is rude and cheeky, and he doesn't care about the honor and disgrace of his knees at all, and Tu Ju has always been blind. He himself enjoyed it, and made fun of her that "her daughter's house is just a twist", and in the end it turned into a quarrel again.
The long knife looked like it was about to hit Lulunaka, but Lulunaka looked completely unresponsive, and then blocked it with one hand, holding the long knife. It was a withered old hand, the same as its ownerβa slightly hunched old man dressed in this coarse linen robe, with a turban tied up in his hair, like an old man who worked as a farmer, and it seemed that he was still capable of doing farm work with great vigor when he gently grasped the heavy long knife.
"If you're so rude, you deserve to eat grass and live a mess, and you don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade. The old man glanced at Xu Qing and shook his head. Xu Qing looked very surprised, "Old man, you are still alive." He was very rude when he spoke. The old man was not angry, just sighed and shook his head, looking at Lulunaka, "Madam, what should I call you?"
The old man said Mrs., so that Xu Qing and Tuju knew how to treat Lulunaka. What can make this old man open his mouth to call Madame, if not anything else, at least one thing is certain, that is, Lulunaka is definitely the same as the old man, an old immortal.
For Xu Qing, this kind of thing can only be thought about in his heart, and no matter how polite he is, he can't say it. No matter where a woman is, she is probably a creature that is very sensitive to age, this is his experience.
This simple old man was still slightly hunched over and listless at first, but he was already the most energetic appearance that Xu Qing and Tu Ju could see - Lulunaka would not know that after this old man left the Central Plains, the farther away he was, the worse his spirit became, although it looked like he was pretending, because there were no ordinary people around, but it was also an appearance he showed, that is, he was very boring.
Now, the old man, who had always been listless, was getting more and more energetic, and when he held Lulunaka's hand, he straightened his back, and he didn't look like a person at all, but more like a healthy old farmer.
Then, there's Lulunaka's attitude. Unlike the old man's enthusiasm at first sight, Lulunaka showed a completely different appearance from usual at this time. The old man's spirits were getting better and better, and he was talking loudly, but Lulunaka's mood and enthusiasm were visibly falling, and the smile on her face had become lifeless, and it looked like she was pretending - although most of the time she was pretending, but now she clearly showed that she was pretending to smile.
Xu Qing and Tuju only met Luluna for the first time, and they didn't know what kind of girl this was, but Zhendina knew, and now Lulunaka's appearance made Zhendina, who was bored on the side, feel like watching the show. What an interesting old man, Zhendina's eyes fell on the old man.
"In Xia Chen Baihu, I overheard Mrs. Madame's name just now, but I don't know how to address Mrs. properly. The old man was still smiling, shook Lulunaka's hand and let go of it with amusement.
"You can call it whatever you want. Lulunaka was completely deflated, no matter who it was, it was rare to have the opportunity to see her like this, or not at all, "Pingshui met, hoping to see each other again, and it would be better to never see her again." β
The old man turned a blind eye to Lulunaka's explicit attitude, and laughed, "Madame said that if there is any rudeness in the boys, I will make amends to you, and if you have any orders, I will do my best to do it." The old man named Chen Baihu actually bowed slightly to Luluna to apologize. But it was he who made Lulunaka not very happy, but he threw the reason on Xu Qing and Tu Ju, making Xu Qing secretly scolded in his heart for being disrespectful and shameless, but he didn't dare to say it, after all, it was indeed him who messed up first.
"I don't mind at all, it's just that I'm interested. Lulunaka's tone was very disgusted with trouble, and she almost didn't say to Chen Baihu that you hurry up and leave her sight, but the old man's face was not ordinarily thick, and he could see it better than anyone else, but he didn't move.
"Meeting is fate, just now Mrs. also used the ancient words of Sang Guo, and I also feel the same way. The three of us are new to the world, and we are not familiar with this side of the world, although the young man wants to run amok with his own force, and today is considered to be a fight, if it weren't for the presence of Madame, it would probably be a mess. Chen Baihu continued, "I hope Madame can mention it and lead the way...... Naturally, I won't let my wife do it in vain, you take the knife, if you want anything, I will also give it with both hands. Speaking of this, Chen Baihu lowered his voice, "Bring us juniors more, thank you, madam." β
Lulunaka sighed. If you live too long, this kind of thing will happen, and everywhere is a junior who wants to be instructed, which is very annoying.
