Chapter 9 Only Tell Stories

It is precisely because you have a good impression of a certain city that you will be more patient with all kinds of things in the city than before.

Ivan would go to great lengths to find at least two or more old men in order to find a description that was more in line with the accurate facts.

This is equivalent to reducing Ivan's speed in disguise, but it has greatly improved his insight and independent thinking. Even if he returns to Taki City, Ivan believes that he can rely on the story to support himself by setting up a stall in the city.

At the very least, Ivan was able to tell others a few interesting things about what he had met and heard outside, it was so interesting.

And the old people of these books have one thing in common and what they can distinguish from others.

It's that they simply tell some old stories that they have heard from others.

Or something that you have really experienced, and then use words to add a layer of shell to it to make it sound more mysterious.

There is nothing to corroborate the right or wrong of the old man, and no one can prove it.

Therefore, when these old people talk to other people from outside the city, they will not have too many reservations, and try to speak clearly.

Because everyone doesn't know each other, there is no need to lie to others, let alone being old, and I don't want to toss around.

More elderly people just hope that when they are alive, they can pass on all the stories they have seen and heard in this life.

After all, you must know that in the story that Ivan heard, there are two stages to Rao's death.

One is the physical death of the person, without breathing, which is the most obvious and direct death.

One is the death of all those who knew anything about the person before his death, and this is his death.

Even if they forget, these are two kinds of death, and these old scholars hope that their knowledge can be passed on for a lifetime. So the old people who stopped and listened to each other were greeted with a smile on their faces, and they were very welcoming to others.

The attitude is very friendly and sincere, which is also the point that gradually impressed Ivan and turned to believe them.

Among these old scholars, there are really few people who think that they have to covet some money, which is not begging in the first place.

The old people are regarded as talking about life and death lightly, so that the words that come out of their mouths carry the pertinence of a third party.

In many cases, the old scholars will not add some of their own thoughts to their words, and they will choose to leave blank.

Leave the space of imagination to the people who listen to the story, and the listeners are the subject and the object, they are listening.

However, about some historical facts, and what they really know, the old man will still advise.

And Ivan listened to different old people again and again, telling him the truth of some things in a similar tone.

At the same time, let Ivan himself think about who is right and who is wrong. Whether Ivan gives money or not will not affect the enthusiasm of the old people, and the money is also given after the story is finished. At this age, you will basically look at money more openly.

But the younger generations of the old people don't think so, some of them are still very young, and they are tired of hearing these stories.

It was precisely because they had heard this kind of thing from the old people in the family countless times before, so those young people didn't want to pay attention to it.

Some people even have a sense of resistance, feeling that the elderly have nothing to do at home and only know how to talk nonsense.

Over time, these old people need more listeners, different listeners, listeners who are willing to listen.

Not only to let outsiders remember these things, but also to satisfy their need to swear their existence to the outside world.

This way of proving that they once existed, in fact, many sisters will feel very sorry after hearing it.

After all, some old scholars don't look like they have a great age, but age is often not the main factor that prevents them from becoming old scholars. It's more about fate, and there are some old people who have no old age and no bottom, and they have to support themselves.

Even if you may be very old, you still have to work tirelessly in the fields, and survival is the most important thing.

The importance of life is still seen quite open in this generation, and at the same time, these old people can become old people.

Counting can only be called a small number of people, and it can be regarded as a relatively fortunate part among the elderly of the same age.

At the very least, they don't have to worry about themselves or their families' livelihoods, which can be regarded as a very free life.

And the difference between these old people and old people, Ivan also understood a little later.

It turns out that among them, there are so many distinctions and differences that I have never heard of anyone before.

However, Ivan was not surprised or anything, after all, he met people in the palace who could be called old people, as well as some elderly fathers-in-law or grandmothers, and it was rare to see old people in the palace.

After all, survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest, and those recruited by the palace are all able to do things, and all they want are young people who can endure hardships.

Instead of some old people who have bad legs and feet, bad back, bad temper, and even don't have too good brains.

The palace does not allow this kind of outsiders to enter and enjoy happiness, and there are naturally happy people in the palace, which is human nature.

But Ivan unconsciously felt a sense of awe for those old people who looked old from the time he pooped.

This should be regarded as respecting the old and loving the young, so when it comes to giving money, Ivan is not ambiguous at all.

As long as those old people can tell the story, it can be regarded as a big breakthrough, and it is worth encouraging.

Then it is not enough to be able to tell a story or even many things directly, let alone a minority.

These old scholars, in different cities, waited in place, as if they were quietly waiting for Ivan to go.

But they probably don't know each other very well, and no one knows about that. Anyway, Ivan had never heard in the mouth of any old man what kind of relationship he had with other old men, as if this relationship was a secret.

I can't share much with other people, and over time, Ivan got used to this situation of not asking each other.

Not only that, but these elderly people never even take the initiative to identify themselves.

Still, at first, Ivan couldn't help but wonder what their names were.

"I'm sorry, old man, what do you call it?"

"Hey, man, it's inconvenient to tell you this."

"Why?"

"You see, I'm just an old storyteller."

When Ivan heard this, he naturally understood what Lao Rao meant, and they didn't want to reveal their identities, so they didn't have to ask more.
