Chapter 10: The Excited Old Man
The old man lived in an adobe house on the back mountainside, and his parents said many times, but the old man always refused to go down the mountain, saying that he was used to living and the mountain was quiet.
On the road.
Chen Lin glanced left and looked again, but he didn't see a single snake, let alone a snake ball.
He didn't take his mother's words seriously, and walked up the back hill quickly.
Chenjia Village is built against the mountain, and it has been more than a century since the village was built.
Behind the mountain, several mountains of different heights are stretched together, all green scenery is seen at a glance, and the air on the mountain is also very fresh, which makes people feel refreshed.
When he was a child, Chen Linye was used to it, so he liked to go to the mountains.
What wild fruits, mushrooms, mountain red, tea bubbles, bird's nests...... are all Chen Lin's goals.
After entering high school, Chen Lin rarely went into the mountains.
First, because of the high pressure of studying, he took a test every three or five times, in order not to disappoint his parents, Chen Lin usually reads books at home on weekends and prepares for classes.
The second is because the old man said that he was still too tender.
As for why it was too tender, the old man didn't tell him the reason, anyway, he didn't let him go into the mountain, especially in the depths of the back mountain.
When he was thirteen years old, he was ignorant and curious, and he had just become a trainee fairy hunter, and he was 'a master of art and bold', so he wanted to go into the mountains to take a look, but he was caught red-handed by the old man, tied to the bench and beaten him, and he didn't dare anymore.
......
As soon as he saw the dirt house where the old man lived, a dark shadow rushed towards him accompanied by the barking of dogs.
"Woo ......"
"Haha...... Old black!"
Chen Lin hugged the big black dog who was so excited that he almost jumped on him.
The big black dog was raised by the old man to come to the door, he was a teenager, and he was still vigorous and fast, and even Chen Lin couldn't catch up with it when he ran.
Although he is a dirt dog, Lao Hei's combat power is not ordinary.
Last time, a few tourists who went into the mountains and walked by with an adult Tibetan mastiff passing by here, dragging the two hundred and eighty-five, I don't know why the two dogs did it at that time.
Chen Lin didn't see the scene at that time.
But then I heard my father say that the Tibetan mastiff was suddenly put on the face by Lao Hei's paws, and he didn't get up for a long time.
The owner of the Tibetan mastiff may have felt too embarrassed and did not ask for any compensation, so he led the Tibetan mastiff into the mountain, and did not dare to walk this mountain road when he went down the mountain.
"Woo ......"
Lao Hei licked Chen Lin's face excitedly, and finally bit his trouser leg and dragged him to the dirty house where the old man lived.
In the small yard.
An old man dressed in gray coarse cloth was sleeping on a chaise longue basking in the sun.
The old man is almost seventy years old, and his face is still full of red light.
"Sugar Candy is here!"
Chen Lin smiled and said, "Grandpa, your ears are getting brighter and brighter, and you know I'm here without even seeing me." ”
"You kid!"
The old man sat up with a smile, and was about to say something, when suddenly his eyes froze, and he looked Chen Lin up and down.
Chen Lin walked over and said with a mysterious smile: "Grandpa, do you think your grandson has become handsome?"
The old man was short of breath and asked with a nervous expression, "You broke through?"
"High!"
Chen Lin gave the old man a thumbs up: "I just broke through last night, and I'm now an official goblin hunter!"
The profession of a fairy hunter was passed on to him by the old man, and even his father didn't know about it.
Because the old man told him that his father did not have the blood of a fairy hunter in his body. It's not that his father wasn't born by the old man, but he doesn't have that kind of magical gene in his body.
This is called genetic probability in biology.
The old man was very excited, poured a few sips of camellia, and waited for his mood to relax before he spoke: "With your talent, there are at least two years left before you can be promoted to a one-star goblin hunter, how did you break through so quickly......?" You found the Fairy Moonstone?"
"Almost!"
Chen Lin smiled and said, "Not only did I find the Fairy Moon Stone, but I also caught a little goblin!"
Hearing his words, the old man was completely stunned.
"You...... Did you really catch the legendary leprechaun?"
"Hmm!"
Chen Lin did not hide it, and told the cause and effect 1510.
The old man took a breath and said excitedly, "So this is not a legend! haha...... It's not a legend!" In the excitement, the old man laughed wildly a few times, attracting the eyes of the old black who was digging in the yard.
"What legend?"
As soon as Chen Lin asked, his eyes suddenly widened, and he said in a daze: "I'll go!" Grandpa, you have been fooling me all along!"
Syllable!
The old man picked up the cigarette stick and knocked it on his head.
"What a fool! The profession of fairy hunter is our family ancestor, and our ancestors caught a little goblin at the end of the Ming Dynasty! According to our family tree records, it is still a five-star goblin!"
"Then you just ......"
"Humph!"
The old man took a puff of his cigarette and puffed smoke from his mouth and nose.
"Although your grandfather and I are also goblin hunters, but I am unlucky, when I was young, I traveled south and north for many years, but I never saw a real goblin, and then I met your grandmother and returned to Chenjia Village. Now you've caught a leprechaun, which proves that the leprechaun creature is not a legend, it is real, but there are few of them!"
"I see. ”
Chen Lin asked curiously: "Grandpa, what happened to the five-star goblin that ancestor caught?"
The old man said, "After the little goblin becomes a beprecess, she will be loyal to her master. But leprechauns have a very long lifespan, and it is said that they can live for hundreds of years. When their master dies, they regain their freedom. ”
Chen Lin said disappointedly: "Grandpa doesn't know where that five-star goblin is?"
The old man didn't answer, and his expression under the thick smoke looked a little mysterious.
"Where's that leprechaun you caught?"
"Hey...... I knew you wanted to see it!"
Chen Lin took out the silver-white goblin card like a treasure, and with a movement of his heart, the card shattered and turned into countless starlight. These starlights eventually coalesced into the leprechaun Ruisa.
"Master, Louisa will not agree to become that stupid card again. ”
As soon as he appeared, the little goblin pouted dissatisfiedly and glared at Chen Lin angrily.
The old man stared at Lu Yisha excitedly: "It's really a little goblin! It's exactly the same as the one recorded in the family tree!"
"Ah......h
The little goblin was frightened by the old man's fiery gaze, and flew behind Chen Lin with a scream, looking at the old man with half of his head exposed.
Chen Lin grabbed her little hand and pulled her out.
"Don't be afraid, this is my grandfather!"
"Hmm...... It's Grandpa!"
The little goblin breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly straightened the silver pointed hat on his head, and stroked the big wavy pink curls with his little hand, with a serious expression on his delicate baby face.
"Grandpa, my name is Lu Yisha, a one-star wind goblin, please take care of grandpa in the future!"
The old man's expression was dumbfounded.
As he was talking, Lao Hei, who was digging in the yard, suddenly raised his head, looked at the mountain with his eyes vigilant, and after a few seconds, he ran out, accompanied by the fierce barking of dogs.
Almost at the same time, Chen Lin heard the cry for help from the mountain, as well as the low roar of the beast.
"There is a situation!"
Chen Lin followed Lao Hei closely, spanning more than ten meters in three steps, and said without looking back: "Grandpa, I'll take a look." ”
The little goblin also wanted to go, but was pulled by the old man.
"It's okay, it's just a wild boar, sugar candy can solve it. ”
The little goblin tilted his little head and asked suspiciously, "Grandpa, who is Sugar Candy?"
"Your master. ”
"Huh, the owner's name is so cute, giggle......"
The goblin laughed happily and kicked his little feet and flew around the old man.
The old man laughed happily too.
