Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Old Man in the Wooden House
Gu Ye knocked on the lacquered wooden door, and after a while, a dry sound came from inside the door.
"Is there something wrong? don't bother me if there's nothing deadly. ”
The calm voice seemed to be mixed with countless coercion, which made Gu Ye's mind a little confused.
He steadied himself, and then continued: "Old man, it's me. ”
"What am I, can you know who it is if you say it's me?"
Hearing this, the corners of Gu Ye's mouth twitched, what was the situation, but he still said, "Grandpa, I'm in!"
As he spoke, he pushed the door open and entered.
The room was still as chaotic as the last time he came, and the old man was lying quietly on his side on the bed, glaring at Gu Ye at this time, as if the latter was an intruder.
"Did I let you in?" The old man's voice was full of anger and resentment.
"Grandpa, you see that your house is so messy, and you don't usually clean it, I'm not here to clean it for you!" said that, regardless of whether the old man agreed or not, he took out a broom like a trick and opened it directly.
The old man glanced at Gu Ye, then turned around and said, "If you want to clean, you can clean it! ”
Gu Ye nodded, cleaned up with his heart, he swept all the garbage on the ground out of the house, and sorted out the books on the table, all of which were books about the introduction of the sword, Gu Ye was very interested in this, but he still decided to clean the house first. When he had finished tidying up the house, he fetched some wood, patched up the holes in the roof, and repaired the windows and doors.
After doing this, it was already half of the afternoon, Gu Ye looked at his masterpiece and nodded with satisfaction, and at this moment, the old man woke up, he glanced at the room of feeling, and didn't say anything!
Regarding the old man's attitude, Gu Ye had thought of it a long time ago, so naturally he would not be angry, and when he saw the old man's body, it was obviously abolished, no wonder the old man had such a temper.
"Grandpa, I've finished cleaning this place, what do you want to eat, I'll bring it to you on a cloudy day. ”
Just when he was looking for wood before, Gu Ye heard that the old man would have disciples bring food every day, but it was all some dry and cold steamed buns and pickles, and the old man couldn't eat much at all. I don't know if it was because those disciples withheld the food or if it was like this.
Without an answer from the old man, Gu Ye sighed, and then walked towards the door.
Just as Gu Ye was about to walk out of the door, the old man spoke: "Bring me a roast chicken!"
Hearing this, Gu Ye was overjoyed, and hurriedly agreed, and after working all afternoon, he finally spoke. It's really not easy.
On the second day, after cultivating for an hour, Gu Ye brought a roast chicken from the kitchen to the old man's residence.
When he came to the door, Gu Ye first knocked on the door twice, and after getting permission, he pushed the door and entered.
When Gu Ye carried the roast chicken into the house, Gu Ye Yin saw that the depths of the old man's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he saw the excitement of the roast chicken.
Gu Ye handed the roast chicken to the old man, and then sat on the chair next to him. The chair he had bought from outside yesterday was a fresh contrast to the dilapidated door.
When the old man saw the roast chicken, after three seconds, he hurriedly held the roast chicken and devoured it, and after eating for a while, he glanced at Gu Ye, as if he was afraid that Gu Ye would take his roast chicken. In this regard, Gu Ye only smiled helplessly, that sentence was really right, people will be like children when they get old.
After eating the roast chicken, the old man licked his fingers unsatisfied, he glanced at Gu Ye and asked, "Who sent you?"
Hearing this, Gu Ye was also a little confused, who was that person, the old man seemed to have said it when he came the first time, so he asked, "Who is that person?"
Hearing Gu Ye's question, the old man was a little surprised: "You weren't sent by Zongming to monitor whether I died or not." ”
Gu Ye suddenly became white, it seemed that the mansion master had harmed him like this, but who was he.
"Naturally not, otherwise I would have such patience, will I sell you roast chicken?"
"That's true, but it's possible. ”
The corners of Gu Ye's mouth twitched, what is it called, is it possible, is this talking about human words?
"Grandpa, there are still good people in the world, like me. Gu Ye pointed at himself.
"You're not like a good person. ”
Hearing this, Gu Ye almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, what does it mean to not be like a good person, he is a big good person, a good person who is even better than a good person.
"Wow, old man, I don't look like a good person, look at my strong muscles. As he spoke, he propped up his slender arms.
The old man said, "All right, for the sake of you bringing me roast chicken, I will treat you as a good person, and say! What is the purpose of your coming here?" ”
"Do you need a purpose to help people in the world? I see that your old man is working hard, can't you help you?" Gu Ye can be regarded as seeing the old man's original intention, he now regards him as a person with a purpose, although his purpose is like this, but when he sees this old man's pitiful appearance, he can't help but feel pity in his heart.
Hearing this, the old man suddenly laughed, his eyes looking at Gu Ye were also full of smiles and satisfaction at this time, he patted Gu Ye's shoulder and said: "Since you are a good person, then fulfill the old man's wish, and bring another roast chicken over on a cloudy day, what do you think!"
"Not good!"
Gu Ye's bowl of cold water suddenly made the old man's smile stiffen on his face, and the old man suddenly pretended to cry: "The old man likes roast chicken the most, and now you don't bring roast chicken to the old man, you bad person!"
Hearing this, the corners of Gu Ye's mouth twitched, what is the situation, is it a scoundrel?
Gu Ye said: "It's okay to roast chicken, at least it has to give me a little gain, right?"
"You have a purpose. The old man suddenly moved away from Gu Ye, and his face was full of anger.
"Since that's the case, then I won't bring roast chicken in the future, who will make me poor!" Gu Ye pretended to be very embarrassed, although the roast chicken was very expensive, it was still within the range he could afford.
After thinking for a moment, the old man said, "Let's pull the hook, you have succeeded, let's say! What do you want to learn?"
Finally getting to the point, Gu Ye hurriedly said, "I want to learn swordsmanship." ”
"Swordsmanship?"
The old man was slightly stunned, and looked up at Gu Ye, the person in front of him actually wanted to learn swordsmanship with himself.
Gu Ye said: "I heard that the old man's swordsmanship is unique, and I am also a sword cultivator personally, so I came to visit." ”
Hearing this, the old man smiled slightly and said, "Presumably that someone is Lin Rou, this little girl!"
Girl?
can call the lord of the Lin Mansion a little girl, it seems that this old man's seniority is amazingly high!
