Chapter Twenty-Three: Strange Eyes
Yang Yuanshan asked patiently: "Old man, don't ask what happened in this ancient cannon town now, we came to your place this time to find an old friend we haven't seen for many years, that is, Mr. Xiao Boshan Xiao, who is known as Mr. Yunshan here, I don't know if the old man can guide us to a clear road?" ”
The old man raised his head and looked at Yang Yuanshan, then at me, then showed a mouthful of yellow teeth, and said with a smile: "Oh...... So you're from out of town, huh? Looking for ...... Looking for our Mr. Yunshan here? Hehe, since you are looking for Mr. Yunshan, it must be a good person, let me tell you, walk along this street, until you reach the end of this street, there is a fork in the road, you turn right, and see a small river in front of you, there is a village by the river, Mr. Yunshan lives there. ”
I am happy in my heart, I have just been separated from Mr. Wu for a few days, but there is a person here who is respected as Mr. Yunshan Da, and he is also my uncle, it seems that I have a great fate with "Mr. Da......
Yang Yuanshan thanked the old man, then took me on the road, walked for a while, sure enough, there was a three-way intersection at the end of the street, Yang Yuanshan smiled slightly, we naturally turned right according to the old man's instructions, not far away, it is indeed a beautiful quiet and elegant large village courtyard appeared in sight, there is a clear river flowing slowly next to this village, and dozens of meters away, there is a small mountain located there, looking at such a quiet and peaceful place, can not help but make people feel comfortable.
I didn't expect Uncle Shi to really enjoy it, and it's no wonder that compared with a boring monastic like Master, even I might choose a life like Uncle Shi, but this scenery was in Yang Yuanshan's eyes, but it didn't make waves, it seemed that when he looked at this courtyard, it was no different from seeing something very ordinary.
Two strong young men and an old man approached, and as they passed us, I could clearly hear them complaining about something, to the effect of "Alas! I thought that Mr. Yunshan would do us a great favor to the old and young masters, but I didn't expect to even see his face, what should we do now the folks in Gupao Town? ”
I can hear it, Yang Yuanshan is no exception, he slowed down slightly, turned his head to look at those people, seemed to think a little, and then continued to walk towards the front of the courtyard, came to the front of the courtyard, only to see the front of the courtyard under the eaves, hanging an antique plaque, with four big characters written in black on a gold background, I can only understand two "Zhuang" and "guest", immediately I asked: "Master, what is written on the door plaque of the uncle?" What a village and what a guest is so strange. ”
Yang Yuanshan nodded and smiled, it seemed that he was in a good mood at this time, and casually read it to me: "Burrow Village Yake."
I opened my mouth, although I thought it was even more strange, but I didn't know how to express the strange feeling in my heart, in short, a village can be so magnificent, it is the first time in my life that I have seen it.
Yang Yuanshan stepped forward and patted the door, and shouted at the same time, "Is anyone home?" ”
After a while, a crack was opened in the door under the friction between the stake and the stone trough, and a tall young man with a white face showed his face, and I looked through the crack in the door to see that this man must be a few years older than me, at most in his early twenties.
The young man glanced at us with a faint expression, and said in a very impatient voice: "No need to ask, you also came to find our eldest gentleman, I will tell you again now, the eldest gentleman is unwell, and no one will be seen in the short term, so you can go back!" ”
After speaking, before Yang Yuanshan could speak, the young man said, "Bang!" The door was closed, Yang Yuanshan was stunned in place, and looked back at the backs of the few people who passed us before, but at this time, those people had disappeared on the way they came, Yang Yuanshan slapped the door again, and did not have the slightest impatience.
"Squeak-"
"Hey! Didn't I tell you? Mr. Big, he-" The young man's words were only halfway through when he was stopped by Yang Yuanshan.
Yang Yuanshan clenched his fists and smiled: "As soon as this little brother informs Xiao Boshan, he will say that his old friend Yang Yuanshan from afar is visiting, thank you." ”
"Do you dare to shout-" The young man looked at Yang Yuanshan's eyes with a slight anger, maybe it was because Yang Yuanshan said the name of the uncle, but he immediately stopped, his eyes stayed on Yang Yuanshan's face for a long time, I don't know why, this young man gave me the feeling of being uncomfortable, it was in stark contrast to the beautiful scenery here, I was too lazy to look at him, as the saying goes, people look at people in the cracks of the door, and they are talking about people like him!
The young man slapped the back of his head and exclaimed in astonishment, "Oh...... You are Mr. Yang Yuanshan?! It turned out that Mr. Yang came, I am Mr. Big's housekeeper, my name is Xiao Bingsheng, I often hear Mr. Big mention your name, all blame the small ones who have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, Mr. Yang must not be surprised. ”
Yang Yuanshan said with a smile: "At such a young age, I became my senior brother's housekeeper, it seems that my senior brother is very important to you, by the way, Bingsheng, we met a few people when we came just now, and listened to the meaning of their conversation, most of them came here and didn't see my senior brother, this is ......."
It was at this time that I inadvertently glanced at Xiao Bingsheng's face, could it be that I was preconceived and prejudiced against him? Or is mine wrong? I clearly saw his expression faintly gloomy and cold, and immediately smiled as if he suddenly realized: "Mr. Yang smiled, it is true that they came to visit Mr. Big, but their problems are well known here, if we can help solve them, our Mr. Big will not not be without them, hehe, Mr. Yang, please come in, I will go and call Mr. Big." ”
Yang Yuanshan nodded and smiled, and walked into the door first, while I followed, just at this time and Xiao Bingsheng's brief gaze, I found that his eyes were so cold when he looked at me? And it's much colder than what I just casually saw, is this his natural look? Maybe, it's the first time we've met, and besides, I haven't offended him!
“…… Hahaha! The distant mountains are coming? A hearty and slightly old laugh came out of the hall behind the courtyard, and I saw a gray-haired, sturdy old gentleman walking out, this person's face was red, and slightly shiny, a soft beard was black and white, which instantly reminded me of the fairy appearance that the old people often mentioned, called the fairy wind bone, and the person in front of me, that is, my uncle, is enough to call this title.
Yang Yuanshan clenched his fists excitedly and said, "Senior brother, after a few years, are you okay?" ”
When the master heard this, his old face turned red, and he sighed bitterly: "Yuanshan, it's rare that you still recognize me as a senior brother, I thought ...... I thought that all of us brothers and sisters regarded me as a ...... Alas! ”
Yang Yuanshan shook his head and smiled: "How can Senior Brother think like this? No matter what you have been or what you will be, you are my brother! ”
Uncle Shi's eyes were slightly red, he lowered his head and dipped it with his clothes, and then grabbed Yang Yuanshan's hand and led it into the hall, but immediately stopped again, looking at me with a slightly shocked face, I was stunned on the spot, because I had never seen such a big and magnificent scene, I was a little timid, but the master glared at me on the side, and said in a low voice: "The seventh day of the first month, don't call Uncle Shi soon!" ”
"Division...... Uncle! I lowered my head and screamed timidly.
Uncle Shi didn't reply, but looked at me more meaningfully, until I scratched my ears and scratched my cheeks at a loss, and after a long time, Uncle Shi suddenly laughed and said, "Hmm! Good...... Far mountain, you little apprentice...... Hehe! But it's fun! ”
Saying that, Yang Yuanshan was welcomed into the hall by his uncle, and Yang Yuanshan smiled casually: "Presumably, senior brother has also seen his strange personality, even now, junior brother, I am also puzzled!" ”
"Boshan, who's coming? Look at the ...... that makes you happy Yes, is it Mr. Yang? When Yang Yuanshan and Uncle Shi both sat down in the high hall of the hall, I was just about to sit down and rest on the side, when a woman's voice suddenly sounded outside the door, and I saw an elderly woman in plain clothes standing at the door in shock, and immediately overjoyed after a short period of distraction: "It's really Mr. Yang, alas! Mr. Yang, Boshan often nags you, saying that I must see you again in my lifetime, and it is great that you can come this time! ”
Yang Yuanshan hurriedly got up flattered and hugged his fists and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, and Senior Brother Lao and sister-in-law are worried!" ”
