II. Chapter 6
The hazy moon gradually rose, shining on the flowers and trees in the yard, and there was a lonely boy.
“...... Hey, Boss Yang, wait a minute, old man!"
Jiang Ming sat alone by the small pool, quietly immersed in this quiet beauty, but at this time, a human voice sounded, and the sound became more and more obvious, and it seemed that he was coming from this side.
Under the faint moonlight, I saw an old man closely following behind a middle-aged man, holding a bamboo pole in his hand, although it was a little inconvenient, but he was still full of smiles, with a lot of flattery, it was the old man who looked at him before.
“...... Hehe, Boss Yang, we are old acquaintances, can't you be cheaper?
And the man who was called Boss Yang, with a shrewd look, smiled lightly and said, "But I heard that you cheated me out of a lot of silver today!"
The old man suddenly straightened his face, and said with a straight face: "I have the true inheritance of the ancestor, and I am guiding others, that is a good deed, can it be called a lie!"
After speaking, he glanced at Boss Yang again, a little resentful, and muttered: "Isn't the money already distributed to you?" ”
Boss Yang snorted coldly, and his voice was also a little angry, "You, you said that you will lend me land for use, and earn half of the silver, and now if you are cheating again, just give me one or two, and you are embarrassed, I want to stay here for one night!"
The old man's face turned red, and he forced a smile to himself: "Hehe, Boss Yang, one yard is one yard, I don't live here without paying silver, you just give me a cheaper, or find a broken one, I'll make up for one night, how about it?"
Boss Yang shook his head, looking like he didn't eat hard and soft, and he was bound to win.
The old man looked sad and said in a mournful voice: "When I go out, my old bones still have to feed my nine-year-old granddaughter, is it easy for me, just pity our grandfather and grandson!"
"No way!"
Boss Yang glanced at the old man, with a smug smile, and continued to walk towards the courtyard, the old man followed all the way, panting, but it seemed that he still refused to give up, looking like he was stalking.
Jiang Ming really didn't have a good impression of this old man, seeing that the two were about to come closer, he got up stupidly and walked towards his room, just when he pushed the door open, there was the old man's loud voice behind him:
"Little brother, wait a minute!"
As soon as the words fell, I saw the old man trotting in front of him, the nodding and hunching look just now was gone, and he said with a serious face: "Little brother, I see you covered with dark clouds, the Yin Hall is black, and the big thing is not good!"
Jiang Ming frowned, turned around slowly, and said in surprise, "You don't know me?"
"Huh?"
The old man was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he smiled again, "It's naturally best to know that." As he spoke, he waved his hand to Boss Yang who was standing aside, looking very proud.
Boss Yang's face was dark, he glared at the old man, and then looked at Jiang Ming, and he didn't know what to say, so he shook his head and strode away.
The old man smiled, looked at Jiang Ming again, his face was solemn, and he said, "Little brother, you have red silk in your eyes, and you are a person who is prone to disasters." ”
Jiang Ming snorted coldly, and didn't bother to deal with him, so he was about to enter the house and close the door. The old man was in a hurry, hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Jiang Ming, and said, "The three of us will be for one night, and in return, the old man will eliminate the disaster for you!"
"Three?"
Just when Jiang Ming was puzzled, a delicate and beautiful little girl suddenly came out from behind the old man, grabbed the placket of the old man's clothes, only exposed one head, and said, "Huh!"
Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment, and for no reason he felt that this little girl actually had a bit of the shadow of a senior sister, and after a while, he pulled out a smile that was as gentle as possible at her.
The old man's eyes narrowed, and he turned to a sad look, and said mournfully: "You can't watch our grandparents and grandchildren sleeping on the streets tonight, I don't care, but it's my poor little granddaughter, she is only nine years old!"
The girl called Xiao Pian frowned, pouted and shouted, "Grandpa!"
The old man glared at her, and then glanced at Jiang Ming, who had a hesitant look, and actually pulled Xiao Lian directly to drill into the house, and the bamboo pole in his hand touched around on the door frame, and after a while, the two of them didn't squeeze in.
Jiang Ming smiled, glanced at the old man, and said angrily: "Slow down." ”
"Good, good. ”
The old man's expression was remarkable, and he smiled awkwardly, and then dragged Xiao Lian into the house, Jiang Ming sighed helplessly, and gently closed the door.
There was a table in the middle of the empty room, Jiang Ming slowly lit the candle on it, and the room instantly lit up. I saw the old man leaning the bamboo pole in his hand against the wall with a smile, and then sat down and said with a smile: "Xiao Lian, do you see that there are still kind-hearted people in this world!"
The dim candle flame was reflected in Xiao Lian's big eyes, like two burning flames, she sat at the table, supported her little face with both hands, looked at Jiang Ming, and said happily: "Big brother, thank you!"
"No....... No thanks......"
Jiang Ming heard that he was called a big brother by Xiao Lian, and suddenly felt a little at a loss. He hesitated for a moment, then slowly sat down opposite the old man, and said, "Old man, what do you mean when you said that I was not good just now?"
Although Jiang Ming was facing the old man, but by the candle flame, his eyes glanced at Xiao Pian, cute and a little delicate, especially those big black eyes, smart and energetic, the more Jiang Ming looked at it, the more he felt that his senior sister should be like this when she was a child, and a trace of joy rose inexplicably in her heart.
"What ....... this?"
The old man groaned for a while, then slowly raised his head, frowned suddenly, and shouted, "Boy, what do you always see my granddaughter do!"
"I ...... I didn't have ......"
Jiang Ming's heart was shocked, but he didn't expect that he would be discovered after two more glances, and he suddenly felt like a thief had been caught, only to feel a hot face.
The old man stood up, pointed at Jiang Ming, and said, "Don't look at my age, the old man has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and I will know what you think at a glance!"
"Grandpa!"
Xiao Lian glared at the old man vigorously, and then pulled him back to the stool with a dissatisfied look, and said, "We borrowed someone's place to live." ”
The old man was suddenly stunned, and then his expression was reciprocated, and he said with a smile: "I'm sorry little brother, the old man lost his temper just now." ”
Before Jiang Ming could speak, the old man suddenly looked righteous again, and said with a straight face: "The old man has been wandering all his life, only Xiao Pian is with him, our grandfather and grandson have a deep relationship, if you don't have a hundred and eighty taels of silver, don't even think about it!"
"Grandpa, what do you say!"
The little pity glared at the old man hatefully, snorted lightly, and turned his head to the side.
Jiang Ming looked at the grandfather and grandson, quite helpless, and quickly changed the topic and said, "Old man, you just said that I have red silk in my eyes and am a person who is prone to disasters, what is the matter?"
The old man smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, just rest more." ”
Jiang Ming was dumbfounded, but Xiao Pian said on the side: "My grandfather is a liar!"
When the old man heard his granddaughter say this, he didn't care at all, looked at Jiang Ming, and said with a smile: "Hehe, the little girl is not sensible." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw Xiao Pian smacking him and continued: "When I showed others and measured words just now, it was obviously nonsense, and I was embarrassed to accept five taels of silver!"
The old man glared at him, and immediately said, "Can you eat and drink here, is it a person with poor money, grandpa should you slaughter him well......
He was halfway through his words before he realized that he had leaked his mouth, and his expression was remarkable, and it took a while before he forced out a smile.
Seeing her grandfather's embarrassment, Xiao Lian immediately laughed out loud and said happily: "Big brother, have you seen it, my grandfather is the number one liar in the world!"
Jiang Ming nodded slightly, he had long thought that the old man was a big liar, but he didn't expect that the grandfather and grandson would tear each other down, and he couldn't smile bitterly in his heart.
"Shhhh......h......h
He smiled, his expression was a little treacherous, and said, "Grandpa earns this silver, not so that you can live a good life." ”
Xiao Lian stuck out her tongue and was silent.
Jiang Ming looked at the unreliable two, he was dumbfounded for a while, and after a while, he still asked, "Old man, you really don't remember me?"
"What?"
The old man was stunned, and his expression actually appeared again, with the appearance of the crane bone fairy wind before, with the temperament of a worldly master, and said: "Why don't I worry about fame and move the world, and the people who know me can line up from the south of the city to the north of the city......."
As he spoke, he glanced at Jiang Ming again and said, "Little brother, you can get together with the old man here tonight, this is a blessing that you have cultivated!"
Jiang Ming looked at the old man's uneven beard, which seemed to have grown freshly, so he sneered and was about to expose it, but when he saw Xiao Pian lying quietly on the table, his heart was sour, so he gave up.
Under the dim candle flame, he chatted with the old man named He Buxian for a while, although the old man was abducted and deceived, but what he saw and heard still made Jiang Ming admire.
"Ahh......h
Xiao Pian, who hadn't spoken for a long time, lay on the table, squinting slightly, and at this time he yawned and looked sleepy.
The old man was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "Little brother, you go to rest, next time the old man will answer your questions, but ......"
He paused for a moment and said with a sneer: "Although we have a little friendship, but one yard is one yard, and the silver still has to be given!"
Jiang Ming smiled bitterly, obviously a little unearthly, but he was so greedy for money, he said angrily: "Okay." ”
After speaking, he got up slowly, looked at the old and young people gathered under the dim candle flame, his heart was sour, he hesitated for a while, and said slowly: "Let Xiao Lian go inside to rest." ”
Why don't you raise your head worriedly and stare at Jiang Ming with a pair of warm eyes. Jiang Ming was a little uncomfortable for a while, and said sneeringly: "I'm young and strong, and I'm still a cultivator, so it's okay." ”
Why don't you worry and there is no sign of embarrassment, he smiled and said: "The little brother can have such an awareness at a young age, it can be said that God has eyes!"
