Chapter 19 - The White-Haired Old Man
"Oh, here, here, in a moment. Because someone interrupted Liu Xue's words, Liu Xue naturally stopped speaking to Xiao Yi, looked out the door, and shouted loudly.
"Someone is coming, you wait here for a while, I'll go out for a while. Liu Xue looked at Xiao Yi and said. Then he turned around and prepared to walk out.
Unfortunately, as soon as her right foot moved forward, and her left foot was just raised to move, the door curtain was lifted with a 'bang', but she couldn't help but stop and look up at the door.
This sudden change made Xiao Yi stunned, who was this person, and why did he enter someone else's room without their consent, is it a little rude. At the same time, he also looked to Noh Kou.
I saw that after the door curtain was opened, a white-haired old man supported the newly opened door curtain with his right hand, and a cane in his left hand, looking at Liu Xue and smiling.
At the same time, he also looked at the old man's clothes more carefully, although he was old, his clothes were not a little messy like other old people, on the contrary, he was dressed a little neatly. Of course, compared to Liu Xue in front of him, it was still 108,000 miles away.
When he shifted his gaze to the old man's face, his brows couldn't help frowning, only to see that the old man's brows were a little deep, and his two eyes, as if they were about to sink into their sockets, looked a little terrifying.
The wrinkles on his face are also a little deep, and even, you can see the traces of wrinkles, a white beard fell under his mouth, not far from his chest, I don't know how he ate.
Suddenly, Xiao Yi's heart jumped suddenly, as if he had thought of something, and muttered to himself in his heart: 'It turned out to be him, what is he here for?'.
It turned out that after he saw the old man's face, he suddenly remembered that this old man had seen it himself, and it was the old man he met in the village when he and Uncle Wang first arrived in Yangliu Village yesterday. He also seemed to ask Wang Fei some questions about what daughter, what granddaughter and so on, because these things had nothing to do with him, he didn't remember carefully, he couldn't remember what they were, and those things that had nothing to do with him were better to remember less.
"I thought it was who, it turned out to be 'Grandpa Wang' coming, come in and please take a seat. As soon as she saw the old man standing there looking at her, Liu Xue hurriedly greeted her, and then stretched out her hands. Help the old man and help him into the house.
Looking at Wang Xue, who treated him like his granddaughter, the old man smiled and said, "You girl, when did you become so clever." Immediately, he did not refuse Wang Xue to help him, so he followed Liu Xue into the house, casually put the crutches on the side near the table, and sat on a stool next to the table naturally.
"Grandpa Wang, you use it here first, and I'll pour you water." "After seeing the old man do a good job. Liu Xue pointed to the old man and pointed to the breakfast prepared for Xiao Yi on the table, and said.
"Uh, no, I just drank it. Not thirsty. The old man shook his head and said, signaling not to let Liu Xue pour water for him.
"Alas. Wang Xue, this girl, is really. When he finished speaking. Finding that Liu Xue was no longer there, he said helplessly.
"Wang Xue, isn't this Aunt Liu? "I heard the old man call 'Liu Xue' 'Wang Xue'. I couldn't help but be surprised in my heart, what is the situation, how did Liu Xue be called Wang Xue, could it be that I remembered it wrong, impossible.
At this time, he thought that after he revealed Liu Xue's identity last night, Liu Xue's expression was difficult to describe. Besides, she told herself that she didn't want to be known about her identity.
Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that Liu Xue was using someone else's fake identity, and it seemed that the people in the village must regard her as 'Wang Xue'. That's why it's called that.
After thinking through all these questions, he turned his gaze to the old man sitting there.
At this time, Xiao Yi found that the old man at this time, like himself, was looking at a person, but the object of his gaze was different from the others.
It turned out that when the old man first came in, he found that there was an extra boy in the house, besides, it was not from this family.
He also wanted to ask Liu Xue who this person was, but he saw that Wang Xue was a little busy, and before he could say anything, Wang Xue brought water to himself.
Now, he just had to take a good look at Xiao Yi, and to his surprise, he seemed to have seen this person, and he had a sense of déjà vu. Of course, this is just his speculation.
"Hello Grandpa Wang," Xiao Yi said to the old man with some embarrassment, this politeness is very important.
"Okay," the old man also said to Xiao Yi very politely, and then looked at Xiao Yi again.
Being watched by others, Xiao Yi felt a little embarrassed, lowered his head to wash, and didn't pay attention to the old man, he didn't know this old man, and he didn't have anything to say, maybe he would make others mistakenly think that he had nothing to do.
Seeing Xiao Yi lowering his head and washing, the old man's gaze that stayed on Xiao Yi also moved to other places, after all, this child is not from their village, and it is normal for people who don't know each other to be together, and it is normal to have nothing to say.
"It turned out to be him," the old man's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something.
It turned out that when he first entered the house of 'Wang Fei', he shouted and asked if 'Wang Fei' was there, but unfortunately, there was no answer from Wang Fei, only the answer from 'Wang Fei's daughter 'Wang Xue'. Then 'Wang Fei' went there, could it be that he went to school, it is a little impossible. All he knew was that Wang Fei went home on the first day and left in the afternoon of the second day, and he was there all morning. But why is he not here today, is it because he remembered the wrong time, he thought carefully about the time he saw Wang Fei again, it was yesterday afternoon, according to the principle, he should have left this afternoon, but why not, of course, he ruled out the possibility that Wang Fei could sleep, Wang Fei, who has always been diligent, how could he still sleep at this time.
When he thought that when he saw Wang Fei yesterday afternoon, Wang Fei was followed by a boy, and this boy was the boy who was washing beside him.
As for who this boy is, he doesn't want to know, and he doesn't need to know, what he cares about most is whether Wang Fei is not here now, not this child who doesn't know him.
"Just ask Wang Xue in a while. The old man said to himself.
At this time, Liu Xue opened the curtain of the door and walked in, holding a glass of water in both hands, steaming, obviously, this is the hot water she just poured.
"Grandpa Wang, please use tea. Liu Xue carefully handed the tea she was holding in her hands to the old man. Very polite way.
"Thank you. The old man took the tea handed to him by Liu Xue with both hands, smiled and said.
"Hehe, little meaning. Being praised by others, Liu Xue smiled as if she was happy.
Hearing this, the old man didn't say any more, probably not!
While he smiled lightly, he gently took a sip of the tea handed over by Liu Xue, as if with the meaning of tasting.
After finishing the tea, his smile became even stronger. Then he took another big sip, then gently put the tea on the table, and said with a smile: "Good tea, good tea." ”
This time, it was Liu Xue who didn't speak, maybe like the old man, he didn't say it!
Looking at Liu Xue, who didn't speak, the old man gently picked up the teacup and took a sip again. smiled lightly again, presumably, he knew what Wang Xue didn't say now!
At this time, Xiao Yi's washing was also finished. Standing not far from Liu Xue, there are guests there, and it is an immoral behavior to leave very casually, so. He didn't choose to leave.
Seeing Xiao Yi standing not far from him after washing, Liu Xue secretly said in her heart: Fortunately, this guy didn't leave. Otherwise, I am afraid that my face will be lost.
Seeing Xiao Yi, she immediately thought of Xiao Yi's breakfast, but if she was on the table early, she couldn't let Xiao Yi eat and not give it to the old man, so wouldn't it be disrespectful to the old man, so she smiled at the old man and said, "Grandpa Wang, please eat some breakfast!"
"Yes, thank you. The old man replied casually.
"Still, I don't need to, I've eaten it earlier. The old man smiled.
Hearing this, Liu Xue didn't say anything anymore, and she didn't say anything more. But she was planning in her heart, she knew that this Grandpa Wang didn't come to his house most of the time, and after a long time, he would come once in a while, and sometimes, even once in a year, why did he come here suddenly, there must be something, besides, when he first entered here, he shouted and asked: "Is Wang Fei here, Wang Fei is not." Therefore, she can be sure that this old man must have something to do with his house today, as for what it is, she doesn't know, but she can be sure that this matter must have something to do with her father, otherwise, why did he ask when he just entered the door: "Is Wang Fei here, Wang Fei is not?" Waiting for words, but unfortunately, the old man didn't say anything, why was he embarrassed to ask, so he could only wait for the old man to speak.
"Wang Xue, is your father not here now?" the white-haired old man sitting on the chair suddenly asked Liu Xue.
"Yes, is there anything Grandpa Wang is looking for him? If Grandpa Wang is looking for him, I'll wake up my father. Liu Xue said very simply, the reason why she did this was to avoid Grandpa Wang's questioning, if that was the case, she was a little annoyed, and said directly and simply.
"Oh, is he sleeping?" asked the old man.
"Well, my father is sleeping, and he hasn't gotten up yet, I have urged him just now, it shouldn't be long before my father gets up. Liu Xue said very carefully.
"Oh, I didn't expect your father to be lazier than me, and to be asleep by this time, alas, this man is getting lazier and lazier now. After listening to Liu Xue's story, the white-haired old man shook his head helplessly, and sighed, in their era, even if they couldn't work today, they could always cultivate, how could they be like people now, if they don't work or cultivate, they still sleep there.
Some other juniors naturally didn't dare to say this, but he was an exception, after all, he was Wang Fei's elder, and he should say what Wang Fei could do to himself.
"What's the matter? Grandpa Wang, if Grandpa Wang has something to do with him, I'll wake him up now. Liu Xue said again.
"Oh, it's okay, I saw him come back yesterday, I just want him to teach something to my family's 'Yue'er', poor and lonely Yue'er, he is always cultivating alone, but his strength is not progressing quickly, so I want to find your father to tutor him, since he is sleeping, I won't bother him, and I will talk about it when he wakes up." The white-haired old man sighed.
Hearing this, Xiao Yi burst into tears, and couldn't help but turn his head, facing the wall with his face, not letting Liu Xue and the old man see that he was crying, other people's cultivation has not made much progress, at least there are some advances, which are like himself, let alone progress, not even a small progress, this world is too unfair to himself.
"So that's the case! Grandpa Wang, don't worry, I've seen Wang Yue's strength and cultivation methods, no matter which one it is, it's all very good, as for her progress is not fast, it is very likely that this is her cervical vertebrae, and it is a sign that she will break through the next level, it won't be long before she dreams of this level, presumably everything will recover." Liu Xue explained unhurriedly.
"Well, I hope so!" said the old man, taking a deep breath and sighing.
He was skeptical of Wang Xue's words, and the reason for believing it was that he felt that what Wang Xue said was not unreasonable, besides, it was not a matter of time to become a strong person if he wanted to cultivate.
Besides, he also knows that nothing should be rushed, otherwise, things will backfire and make things worse.
As for the reason why he didn't believe Wang Xue's words, since Wang Xue said that it might be his granddaughter's 'cervical vertebrae', it is impossible, a general cervical vertebra can break through in at least a few days, and at most it can only be broken through for a month, even if it breaks through the most difficult cervical vertebrae, which is like her daughter, it has been five months, but there is still no change. Therefore, he sighed, however, he hoped that his granddaughter would be able to break through this cervical vertebra and resume her usual cultivation as Wang Xue said.
"Please rest assured, Grandpa Wang, I'm sure that it won't take long for Wang Yue to break through this cervical vertebra and pass this hurdle," Wang Xue comforted.
"This matter can only be concluded later, not yet, okay, you guys are busy, there are some things to do at home, I want to go back. The old man said, and then got up to leave.
"Grandpa Wang, please sit down a little longer. Looking at the old man who got up to leave, Liu Xue hurriedly said.
"Okay, no, I'll come when I'm free, and when your father wakes up, let him come to my house to find me, and if I'm gone, don't send me either." At this time, the old man had already stood up, and said very sternly, listening to his tone, there was no room to stay.
Seeing this, Liu Xue no longer kept him, and immediately, the old man opened the curtain and walked out of the room.
Liu Xue and Xiao Yi also followed, at this time, Xiao Yi was surprised to find that the old man had walked out of the courtyard gate, is this still the speed of human walking.
"Goodbye Grandpa Wang, come here often when you have time!" Looking at the old man who walked out of the door, Liu Xue shouted loudly.
"Yes, it will. The old man immediately answered, and disappeared from Xiao Yi and Liu Xue's sight. (To be continued......)
