Chapter Twenty-Five: The Old Man of the Janitor
Feng'er and his entourage walked about three or four miles to the east, and saw a field surrounded by wooden stakes from a distance, and arrived at the horse farm.
Feng'er carefully observed the surrounding terrain, and there was a row of grass houses in the east, which seemed to be horse houses. There are a few mud houses to the north, which are supposed to be the residences of the conservators. There were several haystacks to the west, and next to the haystacks were a few horse-drawn carriages. The only exit is left on the south side, with a fenced gate tied to a wooden railing. There was an earthen house at the door, presumably for the janitor. There is only one country road at the door leading to the outside world.
"Ziwei, Du Ling. You and Uncle Fu will wait here for a while, and Ah Niu and I will go over to see what the situation is. Feng'er arranged.
"You have to be careful!" Ziwei said.
Feng'er and Ah Niu approached the gatehouse, and when they heard a noise inside, Feng'er quietly walked over and leaned on the window to look in.
I saw an old man sitting at the head of the bed pouring himself a drink, and there were a few boiled soybeans on the plate in front of him. Probably taken out of the feed for horses.
The old man was talking to himself while drinking. "There is wine today, and I will get drunk today, and I will exchange it tomorrow if there is no wine."
"Ziyu" took a bite into his stomach, knocked on the bowl with a chopstick, and sang "On the Wall".
"Regret shouldn't be annoyed by the spring on the wall
I have to meet you right away, and I'm crazy and boyish
You preach poetry there
Toss red beans
I'm in love here
Don't hide it
But he has forgotten the family motto
Don't bear my long door, and hate you
......”
The old man sang for a while, shook his head and took a few sips of wine. It seems that he is not finished, and he bangs on the bowl and sings:
"You and the others are transporting grain and grass, and my veteran will sit in battle,
I'm a little younger than that old Huang Zhong.
Don't say that Wang Bodang can steal royal horses,
Mosquitoes and flies have never thought about me. ”
Ah Niu laughed when he heard the "flutter". Feng'er turned her head and glared at him.
Ah Niu couldn't help laughing and whispered to Feng'er: "Did you hear that? Those people have gone out to transport grain and grass, and this old man is the only one left here." Feelings are his kung fu, and he can't fly through this door, it's really funny. ”
Feng'er said: "He is using wine to express his will, indicating that he is conscientious." Maybe he's really a master of seclusion, don't underestimate anyone!"
"Forget it! As long as he doesn't necessarily stand firm when he walks, he will be a master of seclusion? Do you see a reclusive man who is willing to be a pawn of a tiger and a wolf, and I will know if I go in and kill him with a stick. After Ah Niu finished speaking, he was about to rush into the house with the baton.
Feng'er stretched out his hand to grab Ah Niu and said, "Don't be reckless, look at this old man not like a wicked person, don't hurt the innocent." ”
"How many wicked people have you seen with the word wicked written on their faces? It's the tattoo that fills the army's hair, and it's not a wicked person who is a thorn. Ah Niu argued.
"The evil of nature is tolerable, but the evil of human nature is unbearable! You can't hurt people casually based on your imagination. Feng'er said with a glare.
The old man sang while drinking, and he was very happy. Suddenly, he heard the voice of someone outside the door who knew about Suosuo, and said, "Where is the sacred place outside the door? ”
Feng'er couldn't hide it anymore, so she gave Ah Niu a look, pushed the door and walked in.
"Uncle is so Yaxing!" Feng'er said.
"It's too famous, the old man usually likes to listen to a little drama. Unconsciously, my throat itched, and I hummed a few words, which made the two of you laugh, this is a wilderness, didn't the two of you go the wrong way?"
"That's right, Xiaohuaer has heard for a long time that there is a horse farm here, which is very spectacular, and I have nothing to do today, so I will visit here. "Feng'er said.
"Haha, what's the point of seeing those thirty horses here? Come, come. It's fate to meet, and I have two drinks with the old man. The old man's face was full of sincerity.
"Thank you Uncle for your kindness, Xiaohua'er is not strong enough to drink, dare to ask Uncle is so calm today, isn't it just you here to take care of it?" Feng'er said.
The old man hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, this is the family business of the fifth master of Han in this town." occupied the old man's land and didn't pay rent, the old man was really helpless, so he begged for a janitor's job, so he could take care of my food and accommodation. Sooner or later, you can ask him for a few pennies for wine. My four fellows, who usually cut the grass in the distance, went to transport the grass today. ”
"So, you're not related to your host, and he's usurping your land?" asked Feng'er.
"Don't you dare to say that! Fifth Master Han has a bad temper, so he borrowed the land of the old man. The old man said.
"When is your boss coming?" Little Flower begged him for food. "Feng'er said.
"Han Wuye has a lot of things, and there is no fixed number of coming and going. In the morning, I watched him ride out on horseback, so I dared to cook a handful of beans for feeding the horses. I'm not afraid of the two jokes, the owner will whip me when he sees it. Eating beans is like eating meat, and I can't even think about it. I think you are also poor people, otherwise I will go and get some boiled and eat with you. The old man said.
"Thank you, uncle, we don't want to eat. I think your owner is also a capable person. Feng'er said.
The old man sighed and said faintly: "It's the alkali nest that is collected, and the one who sends it is the bastard." God doesn't open his eyes, good people have no way to live!"
"Uncle is saying that Han Wu is not a righteous person?" Feng'er asked.
The old man knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly changed his words: "The sky is so clear today, the old man has drunk too much, can't I remember what day of the first month it is?"
Ah Niu laughed and said, "Uncle is really a god, when we came in, it was cloudy, and you saw that it was sunny before you left the house." ”
The old man was out of the game for a while, and he stretched out his right hand and sang: "I can count yin and yang and Qiankun, and I can know the past and the present with a sip of wine." ”
Feng'er knew that it was impossible to get more information from the old man's mouth, so she clasped her hands into fists and gave a salute. said: "Uncle, Xiaohua'er won't bother, let's go around the village."
The old man hurriedly said: "The two of you go slowly, the old man won't send it." ”
It was more than 100 meters away from the door. Ah Niu asked, "Feng'er, Han Wu is not here, what should I do?"
"Then wait, wait until he comes and dies!" Feng'er said firmly.
