Chapter 697: Ancient Secrets (9)
"Bang"
The early morning at the seaside in spring is the most abrasive, the sun is soft but not strong, the air is wet, the ground is wet with rain and dew everywhere, and the soles of the feet are a little slippery when walking.
The same quiet morning, the same faint cooking smoke, the same porridge fragrance, the same beautiful girl with two big braids. Since that day, she has learned the young man's mind, untied the knot of countless sighs in the night, she is like any girl who meets beautiful love, radiant, as if she has changed person, with a warm smile on her face all the time, even if she cooks, she can stare at the stove for a long time, her face is full of silly and happy smiles, and she doesn't even notice that the rice is full of rice.
The most beautiful girl in Huaichun is because she has the warmth of love, or because she has her sweetheart by her side all day long, staying by her side, no matter what she does, she is full of excitement. In the past few days, Zhang Hao, who is a bystander, has obviously felt the change of Peaches, her face is more ruddy than before, and she is also delicate and beautiful, but sometimes after some things are clear, she is more likely to be shy when she gets along with the teenager, and even the inadvertent touch of a look will make her heart beat for a long time.
Walking out of the hut, a little lazy stretched out a lazy waist, the old man Xie came to the stove in good spirits, the granddaughter's matter has been solved in the past few days, and he is also in good spirits at happy events. At this moment, I saw Peaches sitting next to the stove, putting her head on her knees, holding a thin firewood stick in her hand and pulling something on the ground, and the red puff face that was reflected by the firelight was full of stunned smiles, Old Man Xie shook his head with a smile, and said, "Silly girl, what are you happy about?" Where did Kun'er go, why didn't she see anyone early in the morning?"
"Grandpa. Don't delay me cooking. ”
The voice came. Broke the beautiful vision of the future in Peaches's little head. At that moment, she came back to her senses with some embarrassment, lowered her head and added the firewood in her hand into the stove.
"What else to boil, and then cook it will be mushy. Looking at the dejected appearance of the peach, he lifted the lid of the pot and looked at it, Old Man Xie shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "What about you, where is Kun'er?"
Looking at the lid of the pot lifted by Old Man Xie, Peach hurriedly took out the unburned firewood in the stove. Sorry: "I'm sorry grandpa, Brother Kun'er rushed to Shuihang City as soon as the sky was bright, and the wedding furniture and living room customized today will be taken back." ”
"Look at your beauty, no wonder you don't have the heart to cook, it turns out that Kun'er has already eaten, don't care about the old man?"
"What do you say?" Hearing this, Peach complained in disgust, and her face suddenly turned red.
"Okay, my granddaughter is happy, grandpa can eat some rice cereal. Le smiled. Old Man Xie hummed a small tune in his nose and walked towards the table in the courtyard.
"Bang"
However. The quiet atmosphere was broken by a sudden heavy door breaking sound in the next moment, and in the blink of an eye, looking at the half of the heavy courtyard door being kicked directly and smashed not far in front of him, the old man Xie's face changed suddenly, and he reacted almost instantly, obviously, there is only one person who is qualified to break into other people's houses so unscrupulously in Shuipiao Village, the Jia family.
As soon as the person reacted, he raised his eyes and saw a group of people walking into the courtyard door in a crowd, was the first person to be Jia Lao Er? Seeing this, Old Man Xie hurriedly took two steps and said with a smile: "Master Jia, the money owed to you has been paid off five years ago, and it is clean with interest." Why did you fight so hard so early in the morning?"
"Why? I haven't seen you for a few years, I can't come to see your old man?" Although Old Man Xie's tone was full of respect, he keenly heard a little question from that words, and Jia Lao Er was not angry, and said with a smile.
You must know that in ordinary times, old men like Jia Lao Er stay in the water navigation city, dealing with all kinds of big people, how can they think of a bad old man who has ignored even a frontal encounter before? What's more, the battle that the other party came forward to fight was definitely not good, and it happened that the young man was not there at this time, so Old Man Xie's mind was in a flash, and the smile on his face was even stronger: "Look at what Master Jia said, you can come, the cold house is shining, and it is too late for the old man to welcome! ”
After greeting him, Old Man Xie didn't think much about it, and subconsciously said, "Peaches, cook tea for guests." ”
A pleasant sound came from the stove, which made Dejia Lao Er look sideways slightly, but between the wisps of smoke, and he couldn't see the specific figure of the peach clearly, plus he had other purposes for coming this time, he turned his attention back to the old man Xie, and stepped into the main topic: "Old man, I heard that you have lived a very nourishing life over the years, I have learned about it, but there is a deal I want to talk to you about, how about it?"
Hearing this, Old Man Xie's face turned slightly, and he quickly recovered his positive color, and said with a smile: "It's also because of luck." I'm just a bad old man, how can I have any deal to make Master Jia lift?"
"Don't pretend to be garlic with me. Wide-backed eight-striped shrimp and large pincer short-tailed crabs live in the deep sea, even if the ordinary long-distance fleet wants to pounce, not only have to rely on luck, but also need the experience of the old ship's handle, as well as the control of the habits of this marine creature, the Jia family has two special fleets that drift on the sea all year round, in order to catch this precious seafood, to supply several rich and powerful people in the city. At the end of the year, only a few dozen of them are obtained. ”
Seeing that he had just mentioned it, the old man Xie, who was not familiar with the world, changed color, although the follow-up cover up was also fast, but how could the mind of a person like Jia Lao Er not see that there must be something in the middle? At the moment, his mind was even more calm, and he smiled: "Good luck, I said it once or twice. In the past five years, you have been a lame old man, plus two little hairy children, playing on the beach, and going to the fish market six times, selling a total of thirty or forty wide-backed eight-striped shrimp and big-pincer short-tailed crabs, the ghost can believe it!"
"I tell you old man Xie, this seafood is only forty high-grade power stones in Shuihang City, if it is transported to the imperial capital and several metropolises of the empire, there are no more than 100 high-grade power stones, don't even want to taste a bite. Even if it is sold at a sky-high price, there are many powerful people who rush to it. If you really have a way to get a lot of this seafood, I promise that your family will be a corner of Shuihang City in the future, how about it?"
Coming into contact with Jia Lao Er's hypocritical and threatening gaze, Old Man Xie did not speak with a gloomy face. For so many years, he knows too well the former's personality, and it is obvious that although he was cautious before, the former's treacherous temperament still smelled a trace of unusualness, but at this time, if he talks about the matter, he must let the other party know that the wide-backed eight-striped shrimp and the short-tailed crab with large tongs attracted by the greedy snake in one day are enough to cover the harvest of dozens of boats of the entire Jia family for a year.
"Master Jia, you really think too much. If the old man really had the means to get so many rare seafood infinitely, where would he still be in this Shuipiao Village? Wouldn't he have already taken peaches to the city to enjoy the blessings?" Old Man Xie pretended to smile bitterly and shook his head.
"Bang"
Jia Lao Er is the kind of person who has been in the position for a long time, and with the expansion of the Jia family's family background over the years, he is even more qualified to often come into contact with high-ranking big names such as the city lord of Shuihang City. At this time, seeing that there must be something in it, he did not hesitate to persuade him with a good face, and the old man in front of him, who was not even as good as a meal of dung in the pit in his eyes, did not know how to play tricks. Immediately, his face turned angry, and he slapped his palm on the table, and in an instant, the stone table was smashed into six or seven pieces of rubble. It can be seen that even if Jia Lao Er is not even qualified to open the Divine Soul, he must have purchased a lot of spiritual herbs over the years, and this strength alone is enough to be regarded as a master who has just entered the fivefold phantom body.
"Old thing, don't be embarrassed! I don't want to repeat it a second time, if you toast again and don't eat and drink, don't blame me for using some means!"
Although Old Man Xie knew that the young man was also not an ordinary person, but the other party's cultivation room had always been mysterious and secretive, and he was also extremely restrained, he had never seen the other party make a move, so at this moment, the scene where Jia Lao Er smashed a heavy table polished by sea stones with one palm was even more shocking. At the moment, he was even more determined that he could not confess the young man, no matter what, if there was no former, I am afraid that their grandfather and grandson might have been tortured to death a few years ago, how could there be a good life in these years?
"Master Jia, I have something to say. You say I'm a bad old man, do you need to lie to you?"
"You really don't cry when you don't see the coffin! It seems that your leg was broken before, and now the scar is healed and you forget the pain, right?" Seeing that Old Man Xie was still so hard-mouthed, Jia Lao Er laughed angrily, and immediately glanced at the two strong men on the side with vicious eyes, and said: "Chop his left leg, this time I'll see who can help him heal!"
"Yes!"
"Master Jia, Master Jia spare his life!" Under the words, the two of them took a step out of the way, and the fierce-looking man stretched out his iron tong-like palm to support his arm, and with a little force, Old Man Xie's arms were raised by the reverse scissors, and he suddenly felt that the two arms were torn and painful, and while his waist bent down, the tears in his eyes poured out involuntarily because of the severe pain, and his voice shouted violently, and his tone was full of horror.
Actually, except for teenagers, don't talk about it. Old Man Xie is just an old man in the countryside who has been devastated by life, and his heart is simple and honest, how can he fight with a ruthless person like Jia Laoer, who kills people like pigs? It's just that at this moment, he still gritted his teeth and insisted on not letting go, for the sake of gratitude in his heart, and he didn't want to lead the disaster to the young man.
"You brutes, stop!"
Since Jia Lao Er entered the hospital, and then suddenly shot out to catch the old man Xie at this time, seeing this terrible cry for mercy came out, the two big men were indifferent, one of them directly pulled out the big knife on his waist, the blade was refracted by the sun, and the cold glow was seeping, and he raised his hand to prepare to fall, and the peach in the stove was holding a kitchen knife, and he walked out with angry eyebrows, and scolded coldly. I have to say that as a simple-hearted little girl, she has been extremely disgusted with people like Jia Lao Er since she was a child, plus she is young and vigorous, and at this time, she saw her grandfather being restrained and the knife fell, I am afraid that today's things will not be good at all, although Peach's heart is also full of fear, but she still has to come forward.
"Wait!"
When the lovely man full of youthful charm appeared, turning his head slightly, Jia Laoer's eyes froze, and immediately burst out with a strong essence, and immediately waved his hand, stopping the next move of the two big men (to be continued......
