Chapter 21: Old Man Shi

"Sister Fei, I'll take you to my house to have fun, my house is fun."

The little stone took Ye Mengfei's hand and shook it gently.

The little eyes that were as clear as water looked eagerly at Ye Mengfei, and his tone was full of sincere pleading.

"Yes, yes."

Ye Mengfei responded enthusiastically.

"However, I have two companions, can I go to your house together?"

She pointed to the willow Buhui and Ying Feitian not far away, and asked the little stone.

"Yes...

Only then did Xiao Shi find out that Liu Shita was not Hui and Ying Feitian, and his answer was obviously a little hesitant.

"The people who are with Sister Fei are all good people. Let's all go to my house and play. ”

Maybe I'm afraid that Ye Mengfei will be unhappy, Xiao Shi thought about it and said.

Yanagi Buhui and Ying Feitian looked at each other and smiled, but neither spoke.

The little stone took Ye Mengfei's hand and walked in front.

As he walked, he pointed and said something to Ye Mengfei, who kept nodding and sometimes lowered his head to make an inquiry.

Yanagi Buhui and Ying Feitian silently followed.

Go up the stream.

Walk through a peach grove.

Pass a green meadow.

After bypassing a tall and large peach tree, everyone's eyes lit up.

A few farmhouses flashed out.

Hidden in a weeping willow patch, these farmhouses are so much in tune with their surroundings that it's really not easy to find them without a small rock to lead the way.

"Grandpa, grandpa, I'm back."

Seeing these farmhouses, Xiao Shi excitedly let go of the hand that was holding Ye Mengfei, and shouted as he ran over.

"Oh, the little stone is back? My good grandson is back? Let me see. ”

An old voice came from the room.

With the sound, I saw the door curtain of the farmhouse lifted, and an old man walked out of it.

The old man was a little thin, covered with earth-gray clothes, a little shabby, but the mending was very clean.

His hair is a little gray, his face is thin, his eye sockets are deep, and his eyes are shining, and he looks lean.

As soon as he went out, he saw small stones.

Suddenly, his eyebrows opened and he smiled, and even the wrinkles on his face increased, and they all shone brightly.

"Grandpa, look, that's Sister Fei. Pretty, right? ”

Only then did the old man raise his head and glance at Ye Mengfei.

Suddenly, his face changed dramatically.

He grabbed the small stone, took a few steps back, and held the small stone tightly in his arms.

His eyes were fixed on Ye Mengfei.

Because of the force, the green tendons on the arm holding the small stone were exposed.

The two palms that tightly covered the body of the small stone were also bloody, and if you looked closely, they were still trembling slightly.

The originally kind eyes turned blood-red, and the eyes that stared directly at Ye Mengfei were full of horror, anger and despair, and there was a faint trace of doubt.

Ye Mengfei was startled, and she quickly stopped and took a few steps back.

She knew that she must have scared the old man.

"Don't be afraid, uncle, I'm not a bad person. I'm a good friend of Little Rock. We just came here by accident, and I didn't expect to scare you, I'm sorry. ”

Ye Mengfei spread her hands, showing that she had no malicious intent.

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" Little Stone asked curiously.

Seeing this situation, the old man's face softened slightly, and the arm holding the little stone tightly relaxed a little.

"It's nothing, grandpa hasn't seen outsiders for a long time, I'm a little nervous,"

The old man patted Xiao Shi's little head and comforted him, "Xiao Shi's good friend, that must be Grandpa's good friend, isn't it?" ”

"That's for sure. My grandfather and I were the best. ”

Xiaoshi hugged his grandfather and said happily.

The old man was obviously relieved, he let go of the little stone, stood up, and said to Ye Mengfei: "I'm old, my eyes are not good, I recognized the wrong person just now, don't mind." ”

"It depends on what you say, what do you mind about. Everyone is a good friend of Little Rock. ”

Ye Mengfei smiled at the old man and said, "Those two are my companions and good friends. ”

She casually pointed to the willow standing behind her, Buhui and Ying Feitian.

Only then did the old man notice the two people behind her.

Yanagi Buhui and Ying Feitian both smiled at the old man's gaze and nodded slightly, which is the standard way for men to greet each other.

The old man smiled at Yanagi Buhui and nodded, but there seemed to be a little doubt in his eyes, but it was fleeting, and he immediately regained his smile.

When his gaze looked at Ying Feitian, his face became tense again.

Ying Feitian still looked at him with his indifferent smile, and his expression did not fluctuate at all.

Yanagishita, who was standing next to him, couldn't see anything unusual.

But the old man's smiling eyes were obviously a little flustered, at least Yanagishita Buhui thought so.

However, after Ying Feitian and the old man nodded and greeted each other, the old man regained his composure.

The farmhouse is simple and unpretentious, but neatly cleaned up and looks clean.

A few chairs made of bamboo and wood, a small table, and a table against the back wall.

These are almost all the belongings in this farmhouse.

On the table was a tea tray with a delicate little teapot and several smaller smaller teacups.

On the back wall facing the door, there is a portrait, even if the sun is shining outside, it is a little dim and vague, and it is impossible to see exactly what is painted.

On the long table, in the middle of the portrait, there are some things that resemble offerings, with thick incense sticks on both sides and two thicker candles.

There are traces of the candle being lit,

It seems that it must be quite a long time ago.

An ancient look that has been through the vicissitudes of life.

"Sit down, come, and have some tea."

Yanagishita Buhui was looking around at the situation in the farmhouse, and Xiaoshi's grandfather, carrying a pot of steaming tea, opened the curtain, stepped through the door, and greeted everyone.

"The place is too small, the family is poor, there is nothing to entertain the guests, boil some water, make a pot of peach blossom tea made by the old man, and pay a little respect." Ladies and gentlemen, a lot of Haihan. ”

Everyone sat down one after another, gathered around the small table, and watched the old man slowly pour the steaming peach blossom tea into each small teacup.

The hut was suddenly filled with a faint fragrance, and both Yanagishita Buhui and Ye Mengfei felt refreshed.

The tea has not yet been eaten, and the fragrance of tea has been refreshing.

"Dare to ask the uncle's name?"

Yanagishita Buhui picked up the teacup, sipped it in his mouth, licked his lips and asked.

Ye Mengfei's eyes also widened to look at the old man, she actually wanted to know this question too.

"In front of you, how dare you use your honorable name? Don't dare to be, don't dare to be. ”

The old man shook his hand again and again.

The old man was silent for a while, gently patted the small stone in his arms with his hand, raised his head, and said: "The old man's surname is Shi, and the villagers around him call me Old Man Shi. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Shi Lao. Disrespectful and disrespectful. My name is Yanagi Buhui, her name is Ye Mengfei, and the brother over there is called Ying Feitian. It's so bothersome. ”

Yanagi Buhui stood up, raised the teacup, and arched his hand at the old man Shi, "Replace wine with tea, borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and pay tribute to Shi Lao." ”

"It's a bad old man. Don't dare to be. ”

Old man Shi also hurriedly stood up and stopped Liu Xia Buhui to say. "A little tea, it's not a tribute, it's not a tribute."

Ying Feitian still looked smiling, smiling and picking up the teacup, smiling and taking a sip, smiling and putting down the teacup, and looking at everyone with a smile.

Little Stone snuggled up in his grandfather's arms, his eyes wide open, looking at everyone who was talking.

"This place is so beautiful, Shi Lao, you made it all up, right? That's amazing! ”

Ye Mengfei said while drinking peach blossom tea.

"Since the girl is interested in this place, then the old man will tell you about this place." Old man Shi took a sip of tea, "However, you won't forget everything, will you?" ”

After saying this, he inadvertently glanced at Ying Feitian.

Ying Feitian was also looking at him, still maintaining his trademark smile.

"This place is called Peach Blossom Spring!"
