Volume 1: Encountering Life Chapter 606 See the Old Man Who Sells Sugar Again [Four More Flowers]
Ye Wushuang is also very familiar with the Xu family, and after coming here a few times, he knows the room of everyone in the Xu family.
There was no need to ask, and there was no need to ask for directions, Ye Wushuang went directly to the second floor.
On the second floor, the first room on the sunny side is the old man's room.
To be precise, it should be the place where the old man drinks tea and plays chess with others during the day. Compared with many old people, the twilight years of the old general Xu Siyou are very quiet, after getting up every day to play a set of military boxing, he comes to the second floor to sit by the window, when there are guests, play a game of chess with the guests, when there are no guests, he drinks tea in front of the window, it is a day.
Many children of the Xu family couldn't understand why the old man was in this state, and even Xu Dingguo and Xu Dingbang couldn't understand it.
But Ye Wushuang could vaguely sense what the old man was thinking...... In contrast, although Xu Dingguo and Xu Dingbang, two Chinese generals, participated in the Vietnam War, they still did not really experience the feeling of a life like a barren grass floating up and down in a troubled era......
The old general has experienced a hundred battles in his life, devoted himself to fighting horses when he was a teenager, went through the war of founding the country, and also experienced several turmoil after the founding of the country.
Perhaps, it is precisely because his life is too complicated, so when a person reaches the twilight of his life, there are so many things to recall, because the time he has left may not be enough for him to review every detail of the past, his life is too complicated, and there are too many things he has experienced......
That's why I cherish time so much, look at the clouds in the sky, think about everyone who has walked through my life, think about the white bones that fell in front of me before I am about to succeed, those subordinates who swore to follow to the death, those brothers who are righteous and cloudy, and those who are tender and tender......
Ye Wushuang felt that the twilight years of the old general might be the epitome of himself, maybe a hundred years later, when his temples were gray, he might also sit in front of the window and look at the sky, thinking about everything that had been.
After all, a person's life is too short, and sometimes it is too late to remember it......
......
In the confusion of thoughts, Ye Wushuang had already come to the door of the old man's meditation place, and before he even knocked on the door, the old general had already noticed it inside, and a slightly old, but still very hearty voice came from inside: "It's Wushuang, right?
"Squeak"
Ye Wushuang pushed open the door, and suddenly, a fragrance of tea came to his face, fragrant.
In front of the window, two old men sat on the floor across a low table, with only a futon under their buttocks, but they were content. On the low table, there was a set of tea sets, which were burned over charcoal, and the water vapor on the teapot was curling, hazy the faces of the two old men.
One of them, wearing an old-fashioned gray tunic, the army's green socks, was in good spirits and in excellent condition! It was Xu Siyou, the old general Xu.
Another person, wearing a snow-white fox fur coat, because the collar of the coat is fluffy, covering half of the cheeks, making people unable to see the appearance, on his right knee, there is a snow-white rabbit hat, this kind of hat is extremely common in the Northeast, but out of the Northeast, it is very juvenile, and other places generally do not need such hats.
This old man, with sparse hair and a big back, the sunlight shone in through the window, reflecting a snowy light on the door of his head, although he couldn't see his face clearly, Ye Wushuang could feel it, this old man should have a very high status, and it was unspeakably expensive!
This is the old man Xu Pinglan reminded himself to pay attention to?
Ye Wushuang woke up in his heart.
......
Ye Wushuang is also a person who is good at tea, but with a slight movement of his nose, he sniffed out the type of tea, and said with a smile at the moment: "The tea produced by the mother tree of Wuyi Mountain, every leaf is pinched off by an experienced tea picker, and the leaves are not damaged for half a minute, and then brewed with the water of morning dew, hehe...... Good stuff!"
This thing is indeed a good thing, the mother tree of the big red robe in Wuyi Mountain, it is an antique, it is the ancestor of the big red robe that people drink now, and it can't produce much tea in a year, it is a priceless thing. About 20 grams, that is, less than one or two, can only be brewed a few times, and it takes 200,000 yuan to get it......! It's still completely up to chance! If you can't bump into it, you can't buy a gram for 400,000 yuan!
If it weren't for this superb tea, I really wouldn't have been able to brew this taste!
"It's good, but I can't afford it. ”
The old man smiled heartily and said: "This is still brought by Lao Zuo, including this morning dew, all of which were picked before the snow, I can drink it once, and I have gained a lot of knowledge in this life, and my old man is also the first time to drink it!"
As he spoke, he pointed to another futon beside him and said, "Come, sit! You came just in time, the essence of the three bubbles just came out, haha!"
Ye Wushuang didn't refuse, he sat directly between the two, smiled and picked up the teacup that General Xu had poured for himself, and after tasting it, he said with a smile: "Yes, it is indeed the essence!"
After speaking, he put down the teacup, looked up and began to look at the strange old man named Lao Zuo.
But I don't know why, he always feels that this person is a little familiar!
After thinking about it for a long time, Ye Wushuang still couldn't recall where he had seen this old man, and at that moment, he couldn't help asking, "Excuse me...... Have we seen it somewhere?"
The old man pursed his lips, tasted a sip of tea, took a long breath, suddenly laughed, and said slowly: "It's really a place where you don't meet in life!
Ye Wushuang was stunned for an instant, staring at the old man's face for a long time, before he finally recognized the other party, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You are the old man who sells candy?"
The old man did not answer, but stroked his long silver hair and laughed.
Ye Wushuang shook his head and smiled bitterly, if it wasn't for this old man's reminder, he really didn't recognize it!
The old man who sold sugar last night, wearing an old military coat, had a dark complexion, although he showed all kinds of extraordinary, but after all, the difference between him and today's unspeakably expensive old man is too great!
The old general Xu Siyou was also stunned, and couldn't help asking, "Old Zuo, ...... you Acquaintance?"
Lao Zuo smiled and told everything that happened last night, while Ye Wushuang smiled bitterly from beginning to end.
As for General Xu, his complexion was quite strange, and his eyes flashed with an incomprehensible color.
It wasn't until he finished speaking, Lao Zuo drank all the tea in the cup in one gulp, glanced at the silver-covered world outside the window, and then turned his eyes to Ye Wushuang, and said with a smile: "Little brother, you and I are destined, see you today, I should have had a good talk with you, but I have no choice but to be entangled in mundane affairs, so I can only go first, if we have a chance in the future, let's have a good chat!"
After saying this, he looked away, glanced deeply at the old general Xu Siyou, and said softly: "Old Xu, you should also think about what I told you, this time I personally entered the customs and went south to Jinghua, the purpose is already very clear, you also know what I am as a person, as long as you recognize that you want to do something, you will definitely not give up." Jinghua City, since I'm already here, I must go back with a result!"
It seemed that in front of Ye Wushuang, Lao Zuo didn't want to say too much, and after saying this, he stood up, put on the otter rabbit hat and left.
At this time, Ye Wushuang was really interested in the identity of this old man. couldn't help but look at General Xu and said, "Old man, you called me here, is there a reason for this person?"
He ...... Who the hell is it?"
