Chapter 159: Mr. Dongpo
Recently, there is nothing to do, and I go back and forth between the small peach cottage and the courtyard all day long, and there is no dispute with the world.
To be honest, Zhan Tao does not resist this kind of life, people always yearn for things that they have never had, Zhan Tao is a layman in his bones, and he can't escape this clichΓ©. Mr. Dongpo naturally can't see it, he is too busy, there are too many visitors every day, and it is very sour to think about it.
It's not that there is no harvest, I come and go, and I get acquainted with Xiao Tao, this girl is not a dull character, once the conversation box is opened, it crackles like firecrackers. During this period of time, the little sister developed a hobby of mountaineering and medicine collection, Zhan Tao did not have this great interest, plus the mountains are not wild mountains, there are heavenly soldiers stationed in the management, there is no safety problem, and after a few times, he will not accompany him. Mu Xiaozhi is not there, and Zhan Tao is even more bored at home, so the number of times he goes to the wooden house is more frequent.
Early one morning, Zhan Tao just pushed open the door of the wooden house, and the hurried little peach bumped into his arms, Zhan Tao was naturally fine, the little peach head was as if he hit the steel plate, and grinned in pain, "Why don't you look at the road, it hurts me to death." β
Zhan Tao didn't argue with her, and couldn't help but laugh, "This early in the morning, busy rushing to the market?"
"This morning, the thirty-two princes returned from an expedition to victory, and as a citizen of the heavenly kingdom, of course I have to go and see it. Xiao Tao was inexplicably irritable, and pushed away Zhan Tao, who was blocking the way, and said, "Oh, you don't understand, don't stop me, get up!"
Zhan Tao hurriedly dodged, and saw Xiao Tao run away in a smoke, and his radiant appearance fully aroused his curiosity. is not only ignorant, it seems that this fanaticism of chasing stars is the same no matter where it is. People who have no faith have no choice but to pin their worship on mortals, and those glorious figures are not gods, but are simply flawlessly packaged, for people to admire and sustenance more than emotion.
The streets and alleys are flooded, with the entrance to the city as the most, there are crowds of people as far as the eye can see, probably this is the most deserted time in front of Mr. Dongpo's door, Zhan Tao does not want to miss the opportunity, and does the opposite. Since everyone went to see the thirty-two princes, he went to meet the famous old man Dongpo for a while.
Sure enough, as expected, the door of Dongpo Mansion was cold, Zhan Tao went up to the door three times, and after waiting for a while, it was three more knocks. This time he was more patient, after all, he came with the belief that it would be successful, to be honest, he didn't want to waste too much time on this person, only this time, if he closed the door again, there would be no next time. After a stalemate for a minute, just when Zhan Tao was a little restless, the door suddenly opened, and a white little scholar poked out his round head and asked in a milky voice, "Who are you?" β
"Little one, tell you Mr. Jia, I am from that world. Zhan Tao looked at this little scholar, and saw that there was a flush on both sides of his cheeks, and the whole person was like a white bread, fleshy and soft, and he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
After listening to this, the little scholar closed the door with a "hmph", and after two pillars of incense, the door opened again, and the scholar made a way and said respectfully, "Mr. said, please come inside." β
Zhan Tao nodded, stepped over the threshold, and then stepped into the compound of Dongpo Mansion. Looking around, looking at the layout of the inner courtyard, Zhan Tao found that he was wrong. If a person's taste can be seen from a piece of clothing, then when you zoom in, the placement of the courtyard can show a person's bearing and vision. Different from the atmosphere of the whole house, the inner hall is restrained and low-key, elegant and unconventional. The little scholar is drying calligraphy and painting on the blue brick floor, a cursory look at the estimate that there are more than ten pieces, now the scorching sun is in the sky, the little scholar takes the calligraphy and painting to the eaves to dry, Zhan Tao is puzzled, walks over and asks carefully, but unexpectedly the little scholar unceremoniously rolled his eyes and said, "The high temperature will make the ink melt, and then solidify it will be out of shape, this is common sense." β
"Exquisite. Zhan Tao groaned, touched his chin, and walked into the house.
The room was very cool, because the wall with a plain appearance was steaming with cold white air, and the main sat a middle-aged man holding a teacup, looking at the visitors with a blank face, not sad, happy or silent. Out of courtesy, Zhan Tao bowed slightly and called, "I've seen Mr." β
"You may be seated. The middle-aged man glanced at the guest seat next to him and gestured.
"How long have you been here?" Mr. Dongpo said immediately after Zhan Tao's reply, "Have you ever been to that Hongqiao to see it?" Or, have you drunk the water of the Heavenly Pool? You won't even go to see the famous Tower of Babel, right?"
Zhan Tao was speechless for a long time, and then said, "I didn't see it...... So what?"
"Irritable!" Mr. Dongpo snorted, suddenly inexplicably annoyed, the whole person bounced, red-eared and equatored, "Is there such a hurry? The first thing you do here is to defect to me?"
Zhan Tao continued to speak, this Mr. Dongpo ...... What a person who has nothing to say. After a long pause, Zhan Tao finally brewed his emotions and tried to explain to himself, "You thought too much, I didn't go, just because I wasn't interested." β
"Oh. Mr. Dongpo suddenly didn't feel embarrassed, and relaxed a little, "What do you think of here?"
"It's ok. Zhan Tao thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know how to go back?"
Mr. Dongpo's eyes widened and he gasped, "Go back? Why do you want to go back?!"
Zhan Tao was stunned for a moment and said, "So, you never thought of going back?"
Mr. Dongpo was silent for a while, "I was a little unaccustomed to it at first, but if you think about it, living in the world and suffering a lot, why not seek great freedom in this heavenly kingdom, how comfortable it is." β
"It seems that we are not people on the same road. Zhan Tao got up and made a gesture to say goodbye.
"You'll regret it!" shouted Mr. Dongpo from behind.
At this time, Zhan Tao had already arrived at the door, and his back was very firm, "I won't." β
"But people change!" Mr. Dongpo chased after him, looking a little excited.
Zhan Tao stopped, looked back at Mr. Dongpo and said seriously, "But I won't change." β
Mr. Dongpo was stunned, he was actually not old, he just liked to pretend to be old, he struggled for a long time, and re-made a gesture of inviting into the room, "I have changed my mind, you are indeed qualified to drink my tea." β
Zhan Tao was not surprised, nodded with a smile, and then walked back. When Mr. Dongpo saw him sit down, he calmed down, and shouted outward with full of energy, "Visitor, serve tea!"
At the end of the trial, Mr. Dongpo went straight to the point, "The delivery of [electronic channel] is one-way, and I have tried many times over the years, without exception. Last time, I lost my middle finger. β
After that, Mr. Dongpo raised his middle finger towards Zhan Tao and sighed, "Fortunately, the technology of Heaven is advanced enough, using plastic alloy as the bone, copying the cells of the buttock cortex as the skin, so as to create a realistic finger." It's a pity that it's still not as comfortable as before. β
