Chapter 173: The Mysterious Old Man (Part II)
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, how could I bring him here? This old man spoke upside down, didn't his brain be broken last night?
Fang Mei looked at Fang Yu and asked in surprise, "Second son, what is going on?"
Fang Yu shrugged his shoulders and looked helpless: "Can the seniors explain it more clearly? ”
The old man snorted, looked at them and said, "Pretending to be quite similar, you disappeared into the Gate of Light, General Li gave an order, and I was the first to follow you and chase after you, do you really not know anything about it?"
Fang Mei was stunned and asked casually, "Which General Li?"
The old man did not answer, but said to himself: "The old man was plotted by a traitor and was seriously injured, and it was General Li Zongmin who saved the old man." So he followed Li Zongmin to the north and south, fought on the battlefield, and killed countless enemies. That night, the old man went back with Li Zongmin to catch Chen Yuanyuan, but he never thought about meeting you. General Li had already ordered that the ends of the earth should also get rid of you, so the old man followed him all the way......"
"Crossing?!" Chen Hongzi and Fang Mei exclaimed.
"Things are not people, and this world has completely changed from the old man's past. Now, the old man and the old man don't want to be killed again, and now they have only one thing to ask for. ”
Fang Yu said: "Senior, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
"Since you can suddenly change from one world to another, the old man begs you, if you let the old man go back, the old man doesn't want the secret book of Xueyue Divine Skill, the old man just wants to go back, I am grateful!"
This thing seems to be getting more and more complicated, how could it have developed like this? Fortunately, he has crossed over, if Li Zicheng had crossed over and seen the current scene, what kind of emotion would he have.
Whether it was from his dress or from his words and deeds, he felt very strange, and when he said this, all his doubts suddenly opened.
"Fang Yudao: Senior, everyone in the world today is equal, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, compared to your turbulent rivers and lakes, I don't know how many thousands or hundreds of times better, why do you have to be so persistent and have to go back? Why don't you settle down here, wouldn't it be beautiful to live a good life?"
"To tell you the truth, before the old man came out, there was still a grandson in the family and a frail and sick lady. The money earned by the old man is also sent to his home. Now that I've been out for a long time, I don't know how their lives are going, and I'm very worried about them. Although this society is strange, it can be seen that everyone respects the old and loves the young, and politeness comes first. But no matter how good this world is, the old man still has to go back. Because there's the person I care about the most in the world. ”
When the old man said this, he suddenly knelt down with a "plop", the old man burst into tears, and said in a choked voice: "I implore you to let the old man go home." The old man is willing to retire from now on and not ask about the world. I beg you, let the old man go home and see his relatives. ”
Do you want to go home? Could it be that you have to open the black wooden box again and travel through the past? After going through a lot of hardships, you finally came back, and many things have not been dealt with, many relatives have not yet moved, and many words have not yet had time to be said, so you have to go back?
Yu Yan shook her head, saying that she didn't want to leave anymore. But this senior misses his relatives at home, and when he sees his pitiful appearance, how can he bear to refuse?
Just between Yu Yan's dilemma, Fang Mei proposed: "Little sister, it's better to open the door of crossing and let him go by himself." He is not of this world. Stay here, but the heart is there, and sooner or later you will get sick. Besides, if someone else knows. I am afraid that his life will also be greatly affected in the future. ”
Yu Yan said: "However, I can't be sure if I can really return to the original place. ”
Fang Mei said: "Then it depends on his creation." ”
Yu Yan asked, "Husband, do you have any ideas?"
Fang Yu fiddled with his phone, and then said: I checked it just now, there were two total lunar eclipses in 2011, one was on June 16th, this time has passed, let's not talk about it, and the other time is December 10th, if you want to go back, we will be on that night. ”
"Can't you hurry up? I really want to see my grandson at home, and see my frail lady. I don't know how I'm doing without them?"
Yu Yan helped him up and said, "Only on the night of the total lunar eclipse, there is no other way." There is still a month to go, and the seniors might as well relax their hearts, since they have come here, they should take a good look at it, and they can talk to their families when they go back. ”
Fang Yu said: "Yes, just take a look at the current world here." When the time comes, your grandson will definitely ask questions, and you can buy some toys here and go back to your grandson to play with them, and he must be very happy. ”
"Are you sure you'll send me back in a month?"
Fang Yu said: "If a person has been out for a long time, he will be homesick, and we can understand this mood." I think that at the beginning, we strayed through the gate and only wanted to find our way home. I just didn't think that the road home was extremely difficult and tortuous. However, as long as you don't do anything hurtful, the younger generation promises you that they will send you home safely. ”
"No matter how difficult and dangerous the way home is, the old man must go home, and I implore the young man for help, the old man is grateful!"
Yu Yan said: "Seniors don't have to be like this. It's better to let my brother-in-law accompany you around this month. As for you, you just happened to change the clothes on your body, and it was too ostentatious to go out like this. ”
Speaking of this, she secretly glanced at Chen Hongzi. The clothes on this old man's body are cultural relics. If there was any other silver, the old man would be a priceless treasure. Chen Hongzi never thought that such a beautiful and poor Yuyan would be given to him.
He nodded at Yu Yan gratefully, and hurriedly continued her words: "That's natural, as long as the seniors are willing, the juniors will take you around the world to take a look." Buy some delicious food and fun things and go back to your wife and your grandson, and it is not in vain that you come here for a while. ”
At this point, the old man had no choice but to agree. Chen Hongzi warmly invited the old man to live in their house, but the old man refused at first and insisted on living in Yu Yan's house, but seeing that there was really no spare room in her home, he also felt quite helpless, so he had to follow Chen Hongzi back.
Before leaving, the old man said: "Don't be a senior one by one, it makes people feel really uncomfortable in their hearts." The old man's surname is Shen, his name is Wancai, you can call me Shen Lao. And every night, I have to come here for dinner, and I don't go anywhere else. ”
Fang Yu smiled: "Senior...... Oh no, Shen is always afraid that we will not be able to escape?"
Shen Wancai waved his hand and said, "Neither nor not." I just ate a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs in the morning, and I think it tastes very good. ”
"That's my lady's craft, if Shen Lao likes it, welcome to come often. ”
After sending Shen Wancai away, Yu Yan frowned, and finally returned home, did she really want to go back to the past for the sake of this old man she didn't know?
Fang Yu laughed out loud and said, "Wife, you are too worried. Then you can simply say that you can directly travel to Pangu and open the world. ”
"People tell you to be serious, don't be hippie and smiley. ”
"Wife, you're too worried, it's completely unnecessary. When the time comes, as long as the gate of passage is opened, let him enter by himself, and as for where he returns, it will depend on his creation. ”
Yu Yan said: "Aren't you completely irresponsible? A good person does it to the end and sends the Buddha to the West, which you often say." ”
"That's okay, anyway, we know by now, a year over there is equal to a day now. After a delay of five or six days, I will almost be able to come back. It's just that the hotel matter needs your brother to worry a lot, do you have any good ideas?"
Yu Yan said: "I want to make a plan, as the saying goes, only when you are prepared can you be safe." With a plan, things can be carried out in an orderly and smooth manner. What do you think?"
"Okay, let's split up. ”
After Fang Yu sent Yu Yan to the hotel, he came back non-stop and picked up Fang Erhai.
"Why, you're going to work so soon?" Fang Erhai smiled.
Fang Yu said: "You are the head chef, and we have always attached great importance to the renovation of the kitchen, so I would like to hear your opinions." ”
"Okay, let's go over and have a look. ”
"We also specially invited Li Yang, an engineer with rich experience in this field, to invite you to come over for reference ......"
"As a head chef, not only do the dishes be delicious and meet the tastes of all kinds of customers, but also the hygiene and safety standards must be met. These are the most basic requirements. My requirements are simple, serve the food quickly and with good quality. If possible, I would like to cook a few different dishes to open the eyes of the guests. You know, the only way to make them happy is to go home. They are likely to come again. ”
Engineer Li Yang nodded, and he fully agreed with the old man's statement. But at the same time, he was very interested in the different dishes that the old man said, what kind of dish would it be?
"For example, we have all eaten soft-shelled turtle by now, and we are even tired of eating it. But if I can get a soft-shelled turtle to speak, won't the guests be amazed and fresh?"
"Open your mouth to speak, is it alive or dead?" Li Yang opened his mouth wide in surprise.
Fang Erhai said: "Of course it's cooked and can be eaten." ”
"Since it can be eaten, how can it speak? What can it say?" Li Yang suddenly became interested.
"This matter, please allow me to keep it a secret and sell it first. Fang Erhai said with a smile.
When I arrived at the Zhengyuan Hotel, I saw that the decoration masters were busy nervously, and Huang Hao was wearing a hard hat and standing outside to be busy commanding. Seeing Fang Yu leading Fang Erhai over, he greeted him happily.
"Listen to my brother, he has an old man who cooks very well, it must be you, right?"
Fang Erhai said with a smile: "You are Xiao Yan's brother...... Oh no, I should be called General Manager Huang. ”
"The old man really has a good memory. Old man, listen to my brother, the food you cook is amazing, I wonder if you can have a chance to taste it today?"
Fang Erhai smiled: "Do you want to taste it, or do you want to test me?"
