Chapter 15: Su Ci picks up shoes
"Okay, senior," Su Ci responded, "But can the senior allow the late student to wash his body first and then go to the invitation of the senior." ”
The old man smiled kindly, picked up the wine gourd next to him and said to Su Ci: "It's okay, so as not to dirty my good wine," After speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine, and his posture and movements were not elegant at all.
"Uh..." Su Ci really wanted to give him back, but as a Xilin student who respected the old and loved the young, he still endured it.
Well, the key is to make money in harmony.
Yang Xiu's puzzled gaze moved between Su Ci and the old man, he didn't understand why Su Ci called the old man a senior, it was just an ordinary person, and even the hat on his head was tattered.
I don't understand why Su Ci would accept such an old man's invitation.
He didn't think too much about it, just thinking that if Su Zizhen ran to talk to the old man, he must find a good time to escape.
The sun shines brightly on the river, sparkling.
Su Ci threw away his tattered coat, although the underwear was also a little dirty, but he could barely wear it.
Half a quarter of an hour later.
Su Ci naturally shook his wet hair, it was impossible for him to take it off and wash it all over under such circumstances, that is, wash his face and wipe his body.
Yang Xiu was lying on the stone slab bathing in the sun, and Su Ci looked in the direction of the deer, and there was no movement before he looked at the old man on the boulder.
The old man's eyes were closed, and the fishing rod in his hand did not move.
Su Ci went ashore and walked slowly towards the old man, but after a few steps, the old man's voice came: "Can Xiaoyou do the old man a favor?"
Su Ci frowned, bowed to the old man and said, "Evening physiology should serve the seniors." ”
The old man said bluntly: "There was a fox who took his old shoes to the other side of the river, you can help me find them." ”
Su Ci noticed that he was not wearing shoes on one foot, and glanced at Yang Xiu on the slate, Yang Xiu had not yet spoken, and the old man said: "Don't worry, your friends will not abandon you." ”
Su Ci saluted the old man again and jumped decisively across the river.
In fact, from the time he saw this old man, Su Ci felt that this old man was not simple, and this feeling was very strange, but countless past experiences told him that this was true.
So he didn't refuse the old man's request, now he doesn't have the ability to fight, and he doesn't like to fight.
It didn't take long for Su Ci to come out of the woods with a shoe, and his originally wet hair walked around the woods, stained with a lot of ash.
A smell of fish came into his nose, and Su Ci jumped to a stone, only to see Rulu and Yang Xiu roasting fish.
"Childe," Rulu beckoned to him.
The deer who washed his face looked even more watery, especially the watery eyes, and his smile added a bit of cuteness.
Su Ci didn't ask her about the fire from there, but he noticed a new red mark on Yang Xiu's face, and couldn't help but look at the old man sitting quietly on the boulder, and was even more convinced of his conjecture.
Su Ci jumped across the river, but jumped directly onto the stone where the old man was, put his shoes next to him, but did not speak, but looked at the old man's other foot.
He remembered that there were shoes on his foot just now.
Just when he was puzzled, the old man said, "That nasty fox just now came and took my shoes again, you can run again." ”
I obviously killed the fox just now, this old guy is obviously playing tricks on me, Su Zi's inquiring eyes looked at Rulu.
The old man said, "Go and come back quickly, you can eat fish when you come back," and there was no attitude of asking for help in his tone.
Rulu nodded at him, his face was full of signals not to refuse, Yang Xiu didn't seem to dare to look at him, and stared down at the fish in his hand.
Su Ci thought about it, let's go.
"Huh......" Su Ci took his shoes and walked out of the woods again, he found that the woods were a little strange, he obviously didn't run much, why was he so tired now.
Rulu raised the grilled fish in his hand, looked at Su Ci on the other side of the river and said, "Childe, come on, you can eat fish." ”
Su Ci exhaled, he hadn't eaten since yesterday, and seeing that the sky was now past the hour, he couldn't help but scream when he saw the grilled fish in Rulu's hand.
"Let's eat the deer first," Su Ci carried the shoes on the boulder on his body and said, "Senior, the shoes have been retrieved." ”
The old man opened an eye, glanced at Su Ci, and said, "Put it on for me." ”
Su Ci was a little displeased, and countless strange pictures flashed in his mind, such as someone gave the beggar a bowl of rice, and then the beggar gave him a book of martial arts cheats,
Or King Wen met Taigong by the river, and then asked King Wen to carry him, and helped King Wen establish a dynasty.
Su Ci didn't know where these pictures came from, anyway, he didn't plan to do it, so he casually threw the shoes in his hand on the ground and asked, "If the predecessors have the ability to be too public, they will give you shoes in your later life?"
The old man was obviously stunned for a moment, and with a plop, the fishing rod in the old man's hand fell into the river, and a small fish turned out of the river, as if mocking the old man.
A breeze blew, and a few white whiskers fell from the old man's jaw and floated into the river.
"Senior, this is an old age, and you are starting to lose your beard?" Su Zi looked at the white beard that was washed away by the river.
"Hehe," the old man twitched the corners of his mouth, laughed naturally, and reached out to take the shoes next to him and put them on.
Su Ci saw that the old man did not answer his previous words, and was about to leave,
When he turned around, the old man suddenly said, "Remember to bring my share." ”
Su Ci didn't answer him, Rulu saw Su Ci coming, and said, "Childe, you're finally back." ”
Su Ci glanced at Yang Xiu, who was immersed in grilling fish, and looked at Rulu and said, "What's the matter with the new injury on his face?"
Rulu glanced at the old man on the boulder, and whispered mysteriously: "That old man beat him." ”
Su Ci took the grilled fish from Rulu's hand, sat down in a row with Rulu, looked at Yang Xiu and said, "What?
Yang Xiu looked up at him, grinned and said: "Yes, I went to collect firewood, that old ghost actually thought I was going to escape, how could I, Yang Xiu, be that kind of person, he didn't know that Brother Su had a life-saving grace for me...... Hehe......"
Su Ci said in a deep voice: "Shut up." ”
Yang Xiu immediately restrained his smile and sat upright.
Su Ci took a bite of the fish and asked, "Lu'er, where is the salt?"
Rulu said: "The old man gave it, and the fire was also born by him." ”
Su Ci looked at the old man on the boulder, and a fishing rod appeared in his hand again, and he sat there without moving.
Su Ci picked up a grilled fish, and Lu'er grabbed Su Ci's arm and said worriedly: "Childe, he is so powerful." ”
"It's okay," Su Ci said: "How can such a master bully a junior like us, you say yes?" The last sentence he said to the old man.
Lu'er said smartly: "Grandpa is fine, he also made a fire for us and gave us fish." ”
Su Ci returned to the boulder and handed the grilled fish to the old man, who took off the hat on his head and looked at Su Ci with a kind face.
The old man threw his hat aside, and there were some silver strands mixed between his messy black hair.
He shook his head and swept away the messy hair on his forehead, took the grilled fish from Su Ci's hand, and opened his legs to nibble on a large mouthful of fish, and even the fish bones were gnawed into by him.
Su Ci felt that the old man's actions of eating fish were very similar to a beggar, not that he hated beggars, but that the old man's first impression was that he was a master, and now this rude attitude surprised him a little.
"Sit down, old people don't like to look up at people. ”
"Okay," Su Ci sat down generously.
The old man didn't pay attention to him, he drank while eating fish, Su Ci smelled the wine, and even he, a person who didn't know how to drink, felt very unique, so he said: "I want to drink." ”
It's very simple, it's like two people who have become acquainted with each other.
The old man glanced at him with a half-smile, his already smiling eyes narrowed into a slit, and he said smugly: "This wine is not something that ordinary people can drink." ”
Su Ci felt that this old man was more like a beggar at this time, and became more interested, and asked, "What is an ordinary person?"
The old man's fish was almost eaten, but Su Ci never saw him spit out the fish bones from beginning to end, and only the head and spine were left on the wooden fork.
The old man threw the fish head into the river, then looked at Su Ci and said, "If you can catch a fish from here before the old man, the old man can give you a sip of wine to drink," and after speaking, he covered the gourd.
Rulu ran under the boulder at some point, sat on a stone, supported his chin with both hands, his small mouth was slightly upturned, and a pair of big eyes fell on Yang Xiu blankly.
Su Ci smiled silently and said, "But you don't have any extra fishing rods here." ”
The old man smiled gently at Su Ci, and under the calm river, a fishing rod that was exactly the same as the old man's hand broke out of the water, and then fell into the old man's hand.
Su Ci stared at the fishing rod in the old man's hand in shock, there are ten thousand laws in the world, it is not difficult to take out something that fell into the water with a law, but it can be so quiet, for the current Su Ci, it is very rare.
The old man looked at Su Ci's stunned eyes, and said in a harmonious voice: "Young man, don't you regret it?"
Su Ci woke up, his face was suddenly filled with a smile, he reached out to take the fishing rod from the old man's hand, and said: "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase, how can he regret it later." ”
The old man laughed a few times in agreement, but there was a mischievous voice like a deer below: "Childe is nonsense, he said that he was not a gentleman before, and the old man should not believe him." ”
Su Ci felt very surprised, and looked back to find that Lu'er was no longer grilling fish.
The old man said: "Then it's good for the old man to ask the girl to be a notary?"
"Okay, okay," Rulu clapped his hands and jumped up.
"Childe, come and pick me up," Rulu raised his head and looked up.
Su Ci jumped off the boulder, looked at Rulu and said, "Lu'er, you are getting more and more naughty." ”
"Hehe," Rulu said with a smile: "Childe, people are afraid that the old man will cheat you." ”
Su Ci stepped forward and gently tapped her forehead, hugged her waist, tapped the tip of the stone under her feet, and leaped up.
Su Ci picked up the fishing rod next to him and slowly lifted it.
Unexpectedly found that there was no bait at all, Rulu stood behind him, and said in shock: "Childe, you seem to have really been trapped." ”
