Chapter 101: The Old Mansion (3)



Xu Lingxiu laughed mischievously on the side and talked to Grandpa Xu, talking about hunting. Said that he was playing in the Chen family some time ago, and he heard several brothers of the Chen family talking about hunting, and felt curious, so he asked a few more words, and several brothers of the Chen family said that the girl said that hunting, the physical strength is not enough, and the courage is not enough, so she has no marksmanship.

"Grandpa, they look down on me." Xu Lingxiu is coquettish.

Grandpa Xu laughed and said, "This hunting is indeed not something that can be done easily. Those brothers were right. ”

"Grandpa, you make fun of me too. I just said it and went and see. Who is rare. They taunted me like that. I remembered that it was your granddaughter, and my heart was not happy. I think my grandparents are very good marksmans, and hunting is no problem. I remember Uncle Seven said that my grandfather was a good hunter. How can I make them look down on me? Xu Lingxiu said, her eyebrows fluttering.

"And what do you want?" Grandpa Xu laughed. I probably like these very much, just as Xu Zhonglin likes to fiddle with cold weapons very much.

"Me." Xu Lingxiu dragged out his voice, looked at Dong Xiaokui again, and then said, "It just so happens that grandpa is free, so he will tell me and Xiaokui about hunting." ”

"What's there to talk about hunting." Grandpa Xu shook his head, and his eyes swept over Dong Xiaokui inadvertently.

Dong Xiaokui knew that Grandpa Xu was looking at him, but he was still fiddling with charcoal, pouring the tea residue into the flower garden on the side, adding some tea leaves to the teacup, and calmly making tea there.

"The basics always have to be talked about, otherwise you will go out later. Where do people believe that I am the queen of the gate? Xu Lingxiu pursed her lips and sat on the rattan chair next to her, her voice crisp.

"It's not something that can be said in a few words. The small prey is not enough to say, but it depends on the marksmanship and the understanding of the habits of the prey. As for the big prey, the specific operation is a very complicated matter. Grandpa Xu said.

Xu Lingxiu was not happy, and said: "Speaking of which, grandpa just looks at the family as a girl." If the second brother and the third brother were you, you would have talked about it a long time ago. Xiaokui, let's ignore him. ”

"Huh?" Dong Xiaokui was very embarrassed, she didn't expect Xu Lingxiu to pull herself.

Grandpa Xu looked at her, shook his head, and said, "Xiu girl, you are becoming more and more unruly, it seems that I will send you abroad to stay for a few years." ”

"You can send me to the army." Xu Lingxiu grinned.

As soon as these words came out, Dong Xiaokui felt that it was inappropriate, and couldn't help but look at Grandpa Xu, his face really changed, and he said very seriously: "How many people are in the army in the Xu family?" Men are enough, why should women go again. ”

"Look, grandpa is still because he is a girl's family." Xu Lingxiu's voice was a little quieter.

"Net nonsense. Do you think that when your cousins died, your grandfather was not sad at all? When Grandpa Xu said this, he couldn't stop shaking his head, and his expression was very uncomfortable.

Dong Xiaokui also knew that Grandpa Xu had heart disease, so it was better not to continue this kind of topic. So, she interrupted their conversation and asked, "Grandpa, I heard that wild boars are more difficult to hunt than tigers in hunting, I don't know if it's true?" ”

When this sentence came out, Xu Lingxiu was stunned, and Grandpa Xu couldn't help but look up and glance at her, as if he was a little unwilling, but he still nodded and said, "People always think that wild boars are easier to hunt than tigers." In fact, the destructive power of wild boars is more amazing than that of tigers, and the slightest carelessness will kill them. There are examples of these, too. Xiao Aoi has been pondering this question just now? ”

Dong Xiaokui nodded hurriedly and said: "My hometown is a shallow mountain, I remember one spring, I went back to live in the old house, that afternoon, a wild boar came to the mountain, the village chief immediately forbade the children and women of the whole village to go out, found a man to go out to discuss, and then reported to the government, and finally, it seems that the army came to deal with it." Just that time when I was facing a great enemy, I knew that the wild boar was fierce. However, I didn't expect to hunt wild boars to be so difficult, it was actually worse than tigers. ”

"That's it." Grandpa Xu nodded, and gave a few examples to Dong Xiaokui, which diverted from the topic that almost annoyed Grandpa Xu before. Grandpa Xu was interested, and he gave a practical example to Dong Xiaokui, and later the interest came, and he also talked about his horse career, naturally the only chapter of Xu's grandmother was missing in this horse career. Dong Xiaokui secretly thought that Grandpa Xu regarded Grandma Xu as the top secret in his heart and treasured it in his heart, and when no one was around, he would chew the bits and pieces of the past carefully.

He should be such a person. Dong Xiaokui remembered the legendary love that Uncle Chen talked about, and now there is only a man in this legend, and the woman no longer exists. The isolation of life and death, how to spend a large period of lonely time?

Dong Xiaokui thought of this, her heart couldn't help trembling, and when she looked up at Grandpa Xu, she felt more and more lonely that he was the old man of the Xu family, Xu Zhonglin's grandfather, and she and Xu Zhonglin's happiness were the only one who was currently the only blocker, and she was cautious everywhere. Now that I hear him talk about his career as a horseman, and think of his magnificent and glorious life, as well as the series of things about the life and death of the woman I love very much, all that remains in my heart is distress for this old man.

She listened carefully, a pot of tea was drunk, the afterglow of Shaoguang was swallowed up by the night, the half moon cast a clear glow, the courtyard was foggy, the night wind rose, and it was a little cool. Dong Xiaokui proposed, saying, "Grandpa, the weather is getting cooler this time, do you think you should go back to the house, or will I go and get a coat for you?" ”

When Grandpa Xu heard this, he was immediately displeased and said, "I'm in good health, I don't need a coat." ”

Dong Xiaokui didn't expect Grandpa Xu to be like this, a little embarrassed, only to see Grandpa Xu stand up, standing there with the handrail, and looking at the grape trellis in front of him. Dong Xiaokui intuitively felt that this was a place with a story, and perhaps every grass and tree here was the most heartwarming past.

She suddenly thought that if one day, if she was also dying of old age and lost Xu Zhonglin, what would happen to her? will also be like this, take out every clip of getting along and show it repeatedly, over and over again, half sweet and half sad in my heart.

Dong Xiaokui only felt sorry for this old man, everyone in Pingsu regarded him as the head of the Xu family, how could he ever think about how lonely he would be. Thinking of this, she suddenly thought of Xu Zhonglin at the beginning, isn't it also in this state, it seems that he has always borne everything alone, and the whole person has an inexplicable loneliness and loneliness.

This grandfather and grandson are really not only similar in appearance, but also in temper and feeling. No wonder he would say that Xu Zhonglin was like him.

She sighed lightly, but still stepped forward and said, "Grandpa, I heard Zhonglin say that you play chess very well, I don't know if you can ask for advice?" ”

After saying this, it took a while for him to slowly turn around, as if he had just recovered from his confusion, and he asked, "What did Xiaokui say?" ”

"I'd like to ask my grandfather to teach me a game of chess." Dong Xiaokui said with a smile, but now she is becoming more and more relaxed. In her heart, he is just an elder who needs to be cherished, and because he is Xu Zhonglin's grandfather, she loves the house and Wu even more.

Grandpa Xu looked at her, with a hint of a smile on his face, and said, "Then I'll play a few games with Xiaokui." ”

"Thank you, grandpa." Dong Xiaokui smiled, and while picking up the tea set that had been packed up a long time ago, he said, "Lingxiu, you accompany grandpa back to the house." I'll pack up and come. ”

Xu Lingxiu answered, and then accompanied the stubborn old man back to the house. Dong Xiaokui put the tea set in the house and went to clean up the stove again. In this spare time, she sent a text message to Xu Zhonglin, saying: "My husband Zhonglin, I miss it very much, and also: I am all fine in Jincheng West, don't miss it." ”......
