Chapter 144: The Old Man Next Door
The ginkgo trees are very tall, and the neighbors share an earthen wall covered with "green python vines" like their own homes. But this earthen wall itself is not high, and the neighbor's house is also the closest, which is also the farthest range that Gu Qing can see through the fog.
After a while, he saw an old man in a tattered tawny robe staggering out of the house.
"Are all the people in Yin Yang Town so tall?" Although it is difficult to see the specific face under the fog, the approximate body shape can still be seen, the old man next door is as tall as his grandfather, at least he must be more than two meters tall, because on the tree, Gu Qing is not sure!
The old man next door seemed to have a bucket or something in his hand, and he picked up some water in the yard and sprinkled it on a vegetable patch in the yard.
"I'm going, it's completely self-sufficient, and I'm growing vegetables next door!! Woo woo, this gap is too big, grandpa, don't you know how to grow vegetables? You want to go out and find food yourself?" Gu Qing was envious.
Suddenly, the old man next door in the yard did not move, and then slowly turned his head and looked at the ginkgo tree next door, and he saw at a glance the little girl who was spying on him on it.
A hoarse voice sounded: "Little girl, do you crawl so ***? Be careful that your grandpa spanks you? Or is it ....... Your grandfather isn't home today?"
Gu Qing suddenly became vigilant, can it be found so high? Just wanted to tell the other party that his grandfather had gone out, but he suddenly remembered what his grandfather had told strangers and neighbors not to believe!!
"Shhh Don't scream, I'll just come up and take a look at the view, my grandfather is drinking tea in the room!"
When the old man next door heard Gu Qing's words, he bowed down again to water the vegetable patch, and hummed casually, without any doubts about the lie that Gu Qing had fabricated just now!
"Little girl, the first time I saw you climb up, it's too high, you will fall very badly, hurry down, don't let the family worry!" The old man next door beckoned to him and said.
"It's okay, I'm a tree climber!"
Gu Qing's pupils shrank, how did the hoarse voice of the old man next door feel a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, and the tattered tattered clothes in tawny were also quite familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them for a while!
"It must be the character's original memory, right?" Gu Qing guessed.
At the same time, I thought that I had always said not to trust my neighbors! There is also a telling not to open the door to anyone.
I'm afraid that letting outsiders in here is the most dangerous thing here, including the old man next door who looks "approachable" in front of him!
Gu Qing slid down the trunk of the tree. No more talking to the old man next door.
"This old man next door may have a problem too! It's a lot of mistakes!"
Gu Qing continued to explore "at home", first figuring out the basic information and then thinking about the rest!
He went to the very humble kitchen of the house, and there was only a mahogany cabinet with a large pile of buns that Grandpa had prepared for the two siblings before leaving!
Gu Qing counted carefully, there are a total of fifteen buns here! Each one is extraordinarily large, as much as a large plate, very thick. Fifteen buns, two sisters and brothers, each can get seven and a half buns, these are all the rations for the two of them to live here for a week, and there is no more!
"Fortunately, this bun is thick enough, big enough, and generous!" Gu Qing broke open one of the big buns, which was also full of meat filling, vegetables, eggs, and leeks.........
"It's so big, it's so much, if you eat one a day, you can survive it for seven days!"
Gu Qing observed An An, when he felt hungry, he would consciously go to the kitchen to get steamed buns to eat. Under normal circumstances, a person's energy consumption in a day is almost a little more than a bun.
Seven and a half buns for one person is just right, this is the amount that grandpa calculated for them!
Of course, if Gu Qing feels that the character is hungry, he can also control the "little girl" from eating on his own, or he can eat a little more. But he won't be so bored and full of food, if he eats in moderation, once the character feels hungry, because he is too young, his physical strength will drop very much, and his speed of action will be greatly reduced!
Now the sisters and brothers here are in need of supplemental nutrition, and the food is digested very quickly, if you really don't eat or drink all day, you will hardly have any physical strength, no different from a lamb to the slaughter, what happened to an accident, there is no chance of escape!
"You will even starve to death!! Gu Qing made a summary! A real survival dungeon! It's so real! qs
After counting the survival materials, Gu Qing returned to the room, the home is a total of two bedrooms, one living room and one study, one of the two rooms is a place to rest, the two bedrooms are the same, usually it should be one for the grandfather and one for the two sisters and brothers. The study is in the innermost part of the house!
Gu Qing walked around and glanced at An An's little brother who was playing with bamboo dragonflies in the living room. I can't help but be dumbfounded.
"This little guy seems to be used to the atmosphere here, and he doesn't care at all! Immerse yourself in your own world!"
Gu Qing walked towards the deepest part of the house, gradually approaching the study. Walking along the entrance, the whirring wind outside is gradually isolated! Not a single sound could be heard, and the place became mysterious.
Gu Qing found that the layout of the study was also extremely strange, it was not a place where there were many books or bookcases like ordinary people, it was extremely messy, and the study was full of strange rune paper, on which spells were written that he couldn't understand at all, and at the same time, on some yellow talismans, he also found some villains outlined with a red pen.
The technique is quite sophisticated, and there are still a lot of unfinished works on the table.
"It seems that grandpa should be a fortune teller in Yin Yang Town or something, who makes a living by drawing talismans for people!?" Gu Qing guessed his grandfather's occupation!
But I didn't care too much, after all, he only survived here for seven days, and his grandfather wouldn't come back within seven days, so he didn't have to get along with him!
Jingle Bell ........ The sound of the wind blew and blew away the yellow rune paper on the table.
Gu Qing turned around and looked, it turned out to be the wind chimes on the door.
"This room is so weird, the study is full of messy red pen yellow charms!" In the silent study, the wind chimes suddenly rang, and he felt a sense of wit in his heart.
A tense heart stirred along with the messy wind chimes!
An An heard the wind chimes, poked her head out of the living room to look into the study, and said anxiously: "Sister, the study is not easy to enter, grandpa said that you can only enter the study in case of a dangerous emergency."
An An pursed her mouth and admonished her sister.
Gu Qing was stunned. He also knew, but he wouldn't be able to get some additional information if he didn't take some actions against "Grandpa's instructions"!
"Okay, An An, don't worry, my sister will come out after a walk!" An An heard her sister's words before returning to the toy box and playing by herself!
The cold wind blew, and the yellow rune paper on the table floated up, and suddenly stuck to Gu Qing's forehead!
Gu Qing only saw a blood-red figure swooping towards him!
