"Have you seen my father?" I'm a little curious.

Old Man Zuo nodded and said, "You can incense your grandfather first, and we'll talk after the incense." ”

I hummed, didn't ask much, squatted down in front of the tombstone, and began to burn those incense and candle offerings for my grandfather.

"Did you hit an evil spirit a few days ago?" Old Man Zuo squinted his eyes and suddenly asked, "You have a smell of evil on you." ”

Hearing this, I subconsciously trembled, how did this old man know about this?!! Did he smell it?!

"Are you sir?" I asked cautiously.

"I'm walking with your grandfather." Old Man Zuo sighed: "It's a pity, your grandfather's life is thin, and he died before his life expectancy was exhausted, so much so that I didn't have a chance to drink with him."

"Are you kidding?" I frowned and said, "My grandfather himself said that it was a joy and a funeral, and he was dying." ”

"You know the." Old Man Zuo glanced at me and snorted coldly: "What he said is the number of life, it is the number of life after he folds his life, if he listened to me at the beginning and didn't take the deal of Na Laoshizi, he would have lived for at least ten years!" ”

I couldn't understand it: "You mean, my grandfather took a deal and folded his life span for ten years?" ”

"There are some things that you don't understand." Old Man Zuo shook his head: "All in all, you can't blame others for your grandfather's death, he took the wrong path to end up here." ”

"What do you mean?!" I couldn't help but get excited.

"You want to know?" Old man Zuo asked me.

I nodded.

"I won't tell you!" Old Man Zuo laughed, that kind of demeanor and tone were very similar to my deceased grandfather.

"Forget it, if you don't say it, I don't bother to ask." I pretended not to care and changed the subject: "So why didn't I hear my grandfather talk about you?" ”

"He doesn't even want to tell you that he's a gentleman, and he'll tell you about me?" When Old Man Zuo said this, there was an indescribable vicissitudes in his eyes: "It's a pity, your family's craftsmanship has to be broken in your generation, hey young man, what are you doing now to make money to support your family?" ”

"Collecting rent, I really can't open the pot, so I go out to do some part-time work and help people with promotions." I scratched my head, looking a little embarrassed: "Anyway, it's no problem to feed myself." ”

"You little calf, why are you so useless!" Old Man Zuo scolded inexplicably: "This money is enough for a fart, you won't marry a daughter-in-law in the future?!" ”

Although this old man does not speak very well, I can feel that he is doing my good.

"I'll get a job in the future." I smiled wryly, "Haven't you decided about finding a job yet?" ”

"Your lazy temperament is the same as your grandfather, and like your father, if you can go out to work well, then there will be a ghost!" When Old Man Zuo said this, he had a kind of hatred for iron and steel: "At the beginning, your grandfather was also dead-eyed, damn it, if he doesn't pass on the art of eating to you, is this something that your grandfather can do?" ”

As he spoke, the old man's eyes lit up.

"Xiao Yuan, grandpa, can I show you a clear way?" Old Man Zuo is like a trafficker who abducts and sells women and children, his eyes are too godlike, and his eyes are narrowed with a smile: "This is the road to make a fortune." ”

"I'll say okay first, old man, I don't want to do anything about killing people and setting fires, don't look for me if you violate the laws of the country, I'm not that material." I replied, staring cautiously at the old man, "You're not going to let me go on a pyramid scheme, are you?" ”

"Fuck your motherfucker, fuck your shit!" Old man Zuo scolded: "Is Lao Tzu that kind of person?!" ”

"I don't dare to say if it's not, your appearance is indeed a bit like a pyramid scheme"

I can understand this old man, he and my grandfather are all the way, and his mouth is sharper than mine, and there is no generation gap in communication, so I can't help but joke with him.

"You bunny!" Old Man Zuo glared at me fiercely and said, "What I want to tell you is legitimate business!" ”

I looked at him from head to toe and asked tentatively, "Why don't we continue to talk about MLM?" ”

When the old man heard this, he almost got angry, and he searched around for a while, and when he saw that there was nothing to take advantage of, he was ready to come up and beat me with his bare hands.

"Old man, don't be angry, I'm joking with you!" I was busy persuading.

"Forget it, with your temperament, you can't follow your grandfather's old path." Old Man Zuo sighed deeply: "You won't just be ready to mix like this for the rest of your life, right?" ”

My expression froze on my face, I didn't joke with him anymore, I was silent for a while, I shook my head, and said with a wry smile: "I don't know." ”

As soon as the words fell, I lit a cigarette, took a hard puff, and chatted with him with a complicated expression.

"I don't know what I'm living in my life, when my grandfather is alive, I can still have some motivation to go out and work part-time, find some work, at least I can buy him two good cigarettes to honor him." I looked at the cold tombstone, and my voice couldn't help but become low: "But my grandfather is gone, and I really don't know how to live it." ”

Old Man Zuo looked at me without saying a word and didn't speak.

"When my grandfather was alive, he told me a lot of truths and told me how to live the rest of my life." I grinned and said with some self-deprecation, "At the time I thought I would definitely be able to live my life, but now? It's like the walking dead, eating and waiting to die every day, I'm lazy, I admit it, but I also want to"

Old Man Zuo suddenly stood up, walked to my side, sat down slowly, and patted me on the shoulder: "Actually, your temperament is exactly the same as your grandfather, he also encountered this confused situation at the beginning, but he finally overcame it and lived happily better than anyone else." ”

"Really?" I smiled noncommittally.

"Yes, because he has the courage to take a step forward, you don't have the courage to only dare to stand still." Old Man Zuo said in his words: "You, you just lack practice." ”

I hummed and didn't deny his words.

"What's the matter with the filth in you? It looks like someone has gotten rid of it. Old man Zuo said.

I didn't think much of it at the time, and I smoked and told me what had happened in the past few days.

As he listened, he nodded, his expression a little complicated, as if he was thinking about something.

"The little blind guys are so powerful, it's really fucking blue." After listening to what had happened to me in the past few days, Old Man Zuo sighed: "This kind of thing is not something that ordinary gentlemen can get rid of. During that time, there was a lot of trouble in the three eastern provinces, and a lot of people died at that time."

"Do you know that blind boss?" I asked.

"Knowledge, not general knowledge." Old Man Zuo's smile was bitter: "The story he has with me is long, that story, it's really a man who will be silent when he listens to it, and a woman will cry when he listens to it."

"You don't usually visit QQ Space, right?" I couldn't help but laugh.

"You bunny!" Old Man Zuo glared: "What has your grandfather been doing all these years?" Didn't take the job, did you? ”

"He didn't even tell me that he was a gentleman, and he could still pick up the job?" I couldn't stop smiling: "My grandfather's life was so leisurely, either watching TV or playing cards with me, and from time to time he would hang out and tell those old men and old ladies books." ”

"Your grandfather liked to listen to stories when he was young, and he liked to tell stories when he was old, which is normal." Old Man Zuo sighed: "Do you want to hear your grandfather's original story?" ”

I hesitated, then nodded hurriedly.

Old Man Zuo laughed and nodded, with some sadness in his eyes: "What your grandfather did is inseparable from the word storytelling."
