Chapter 252: Luo Laohan
Senior Brother Geng smiled and said, "Political marriage? Hehe, how can it be a political marriage, Luo Fei was originally married in this life, but this family affair was set by the ancestors. As for the ghost gate and the Luo family, if Luo Fei was not the last disciple of the ghost gate, maybe it wouldn't have much to do with it, but now she is a member of the ghost gate and the righteous daughter of Luo Laohan, and the ghost gate and the Luo family are the same thing. ”
Liu Shangang was still playing games, but when he heard Senior Brother Geng say this, he also sighed and said, "Alas, why is it so troublesome, it makes my ears hurt when I hear it." ”
Senior Brother Geng glanced at Liu Shangang from the rearview mirror and said, "Actually, I don't want to go back to Jisoul Village all these years, because I am afraid that I will encounter these miscellaneous things, and it will be very troublesome!" ”
After saying this, a carload of people, no one spoke anymore.
Senior Brother Geng wants to drive, Liu Shangang plays games, Liang Houzai leans on the door glass and takes a nap, and as for me, it is full of worries.
Originally, I thought that when I saw Luo Fei and Luo Laohan this time, I would simply pretend to be deflated and make them look down on me, so that everything would be solved. But after listening to Senior Brother Geng's words, I realized that this kind of thinking didn't work at all.
Although Luo Laohan lives in northern Shaanxi, it is still far away from the village.
Senior Brother Geng first took us to Yan'an, found a place for us to stay for one night, let us wash the dust on our bodies in the bathroom of the hotel, and my sister-in-law bought us a new line, but I still washed my original clothes and put them on, and I simply put them in the suitcase that my sister-in-law bought.
Anyway, I don't want to show anything in front of Luo Laohan, and there is no need to dress up, so I can look whatever I want.
In the morning, Senior Brother Geng found a good breakfast shop and bought some breakfast, and after eating, he took me to the suburbs.
Senior Brother Geng finally drove the car to an old alley at the junction of urban and rural areas, he stopped the car, and specially instructed me: "This old mansion is the property of the Luo family, and the people in it are all Luo Laohan's clansmen and disciples. You don't have any conflict with Luo Laohan today, or we won't be able to leave. ”
I nodded: "Don't worry, I have a number." ”
Senior Brother Geng smiled: "I don't worry about you, I've heard Uncle Chai say that you guy, you often do some inexplicable things on a whim." In short, no matter what, you must not be on top of Luo Laohan today, do you hear? ”
I have been in contact with Senior Brother Geng a few times, and I am used to his gentle and elegant temperament, and I don't feel embarrassed in front of him now, but I still feel that he is sometimes a mother-in-law.
However, Senior Brother Geng is my senior brother after all, and I can't say this kind of thought, so I can only nod at him.
Senior Brother Geng opened the door and got out of the car, and walked into the alley with the box that my master had entrusted before, and I followed him.
It wasn't until he came to the largest door in the depths of the alley that Senior Brother Geng stopped.
I noticed when I walked over before, the doors on both sides of the alley are basically the kind of simple iron doors that open unilaterally, some are painted with red paint, some are painted with black paint, and all the doors are rusty, but the door in front of us is a double-open wooden door, with a total of eighty-one brass door nails in nine rows and nine columns, and the two stone lions at the door are antiquities at a glance.
Brother Geng handed me the box containing the dowry, and then knocked on the knocker.
A moment later, there was a rush of footsteps on the other side of the door, and someone pushed the door open a crack, and I saw a pair of strange eyes approaching the door.
The reason why those eyes are strange is that there is no pupil in that eye at all, and the iris is a faint gray.
After a short while, the man leaning against the door spoke: "Who are you?" ”
Senior Brother Geng hugged his hand and said very humbly: "Soul Village, Geng Youbo." I brought my junior brother Zuo Youdao to propose marriage. ”
The eye in the crack in the door moved, as if glancing at me, and I had been staring at it since the beginning.
"He's Zuo Youdao?" The man on the other side of the door asked again.
Senior Brother Geng nodded yes.
Then I heard the man say with a smile: "At first glance, it was brought out by Chai Zongyuan, and it was fierce." ”
As he spoke, he opened the door, and the moment the door opened, I could see his appearance clearly, he was an old man of the same age as my master, his hair was very long, combed into a neat ponytail, as for his appearance, it was very ordinary, only a pair of eyes, one had no pupils, and the iris was also a faint gray, and the other eye looked like an ordinary person, but when he turned his eyeballs, only the gray eye moved, and the other eye never moved, and that eye looked no luster at all, It seems to be a prosthetic eye.
He opened the door and told us to wait in the courtyard for a while, and he wanted to go in and talk to the old man.
Judging from what he said and the tone of his voice, he seemed to be a servant of Luo Laohan's family, what age is this, and there are still servants in the family.
It wasn't long before the man poked his head out of the house, beckoned to us, and motioned for us to enter.
When I walked towards the door of the house, Senior Brother Geng turned around and whispered to me, "Be careful when you see Luo Laohan later." ”
What does it mean to be careful? Can Luo Laohan still eat me?
Brother Geng didn't explain much, so he led me straight to the door of the house, and the servant helped us lift the curtain.
The room was large, but unusually empty, except for a Taishi chair facing the door, on which sat an old man with white hair and long beard, who was now taking a nap with his eyes closed.
As soon as Senior Brother Geng entered the door, he hurriedly saluted the old man, and said with a smile: "Geng Youbo, the soul of the Soul Village, is here with his junior brother Zuo Youdao." ”
After the senior brother finished speaking, he didn't get a response for a long time.
I kept my eyes on the old man and saw the muscles under his eyes occasionally tremble slightly. He didn't sleep at all, he was squinting at the two of us.
At first, I didn't plan to expose it, but seeing him teasing me Senior Brother Geng like this, my heart became angry.
If you don't want to see it, you won't see it, what the hell are you pretending to be!
With this in mind, I turned my head and walked outside with the gift box in my arms.
When Senior Brother Geng saw that I was leaving, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold me: "Youdao, why are you going?" ”
I raised my chin at the old man and said to Senior Brother Geng, "Didn't you see the old man sleeping, in case we wake him up and have a heart attack or something, who is responsible?" Let's talk about it when he wakes up. ”
When I spoke, my tone was not good, half ridiculous and half sarcastic, Senior Brother Geng could hear it, and of course the old man could hear it.
As soon as I finished speaking, the old man suddenly coughed a few times and opened his eyes.
As soon as he opened his eyes, I knew that this old guy was definitely not a good stubble, and there was a sharp aura in those eyes.
However, as far as his eyes are concerned, compared with the old lady of the Huang family, he is still a little worse in terms of momentum, if the eyes of the old lady of the Huang family are like a chopping knife falling on the neck, and Luo Laohan's knife is only half unsheathed.
With the experience of getting along with Mrs. Huang, it is impossible for me to be afraid of Luo Laohan, he stares at me, and I also stare at him.
After a long time, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and muttered: "It's really Chai Zongyuan's apprentice, just like him, fierce." ”
I also wondered, why did someone say that I was fierce, and why I didn't feel it at all.
My master's usual appearance...... It's really fierce, but my personality is different from my master, and I don't always squint and scare people like him.
At this time, Luo Laohan beckoned to their servants again: "Move two chairs, don't let people stand." ”
The "servant" was very nimble in his hands and feet, and in two or three minutes of effort, he moved two carved chairs into the house, and when he came in, I also helped to put up the handle, the chair was very heavy, about a hundred pounds in weight, and when it fell to the ground, there was an unusually firm feeling.
Senior Brother Geng took the gift box from my arms and tried to hand it over to the servant, but the servant only smiled a little embarrassed and glanced at Luo Laohan again.
That seems to mean that only Luo Laohan agrees to accept the gift, and he can accept it.
But Luo Laohan obviously saw Senior Brother Geng's actions, but he didn't say anything, obviously not planning to accept this gift.
At this moment, Senior Brother Lian Geng became a little embarrassed.
I had already sat down on the chair, and when I saw this situation, I didn't talk nonsense, I directly took the gift box from Senior Brother Geng's side and placed it next to Luo Laohan.
Luo Laohan glared at me: "Boy, what are you doing?" ”
I sat back in my chair, looked at him and said, "When we came, Master specially instructed Senior Brother Geng to hand over this box of things to you. ”
Luo Laohan glared at me for a while, probably because he saw that I was not afraid of him, so he changed his usual eyes and asked me, "Do you know what this box of things is?" ”
I said, "I heard that Master said it was a family gift, but I saw Master Luo's attitude, and it seemed that he didn't want to admit this family business, and it just so happened that I was not interested in this kind of arranged marriage." What about this box of gifts, you can accept it if you like it, and if you don't like it, we will take it back, there is no need to embarrass my Senior Brother Geng, right? ”
As I spoke, Senior Brother Geng kept pulling my sleeve, and I pretended not to know.
Luo Laohan stared at me for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "It's really Chai Zongyuan's own apprentice, and his temper is also very rushed." ”
When I heard others compare me with Master, I just frowned slightly and didn't say anything. Anyway, I never thought I was much like Master, but I can't refute this kind of thing.
After being silent for a while, Luo Laohan asked me again, "What did your master say when you came?" ”
Without even thinking about it, I said, "Let me meet ...... Luo Fei."
Before I could finish speaking, Luo Laohan suddenly slapped the armrest of the Taishi chair, and heard a click, and the thick and sturdy armrest was actually broken by him.
Is this to show his deep internal strength or great strength, who to scare, I can do this kind of thing!
Luo Laohan made that fierce expression again, glared at me and shouted: "Stinky and shameless, Luo Fei can be seen if you want to!" ”
I smiled and said, "To be honest, I really didn't want to see her, but it's hard to do it." ”
