Chapter 47: The Old Storyteller
Wang Li heard Sun Tong outside the carriage say that there was an old man lying on the official road, and he was worried that he would be blackmailed and delay the trip, so he first asked Sun Tong to stop, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and really saw a sloppy old man in tattered clothes lying not far in front of the carriage.
Wang left the carriage and taught Chu Yi to wait in the carriage, he walked up to the old man and asked, "Old man?
The old man was lying in the middle of the official road, it turned out that he had passed out, and Wang Li could hear a lot of snoring when he got close, so he raised his voice and shouted, "Old man, wake up!"
"Who, so immoral, disturbing people's dreams. The old man's eyes were confused, he yawned, and looked up at Wang Li, "Did you kid disturb Lao Fu's midday nap?"
It's still midday, it's really fucking good at pulling calves, Wang Li pouted and said: "You lie down on the official road to sleep, it's a loss to run into me, meet unreasonable, the carriage runs over your body, you really dream every day!"
"Hahahaha, the kid is really good at talking. The old man shook his head and laughed twice, and sat up, "It's a pity that the old man has always slept with him, but he has never encountered what you said. ”
Hey, is this a face-to-face?
Wang Li said angrily: "You are talking about how to compensate for the law?"
"Simple, I just calculated it, this day is rushing to the southeast, and it should go down to the south, don't you have a carriage, you just take me to Yiyang along the way, and this matter is over." The old man wiped his mustache and pretended to be a mystery.
The first time Wang Li saw such a thick-skinned person, he was still an old man, and he was about to scold a few words, looking at the appearance of this old man, with a mustache and a little sheep's horned beard, the more he looked at it, the more familiar he became.
"Hey, are you the old man who told the story in the hook bar next to Qingyun Building on the night of the Forgetful Water Pavilion Meeting!
The old man was stunned, "It's the old man, what's the matter, you've heard me talk about books?"
Damn, I was kidnapped by Xu Guo after listening to your book that night! Speaking of which, you are still an accomplice, no wonder I went to see it later, and the tile shed was demolished, and it turned out that I couldn't get along, so I came out to ask for food.
"It's a shame that I listened to your book, otherwise I wouldn't have been kidnapped that night!" Wang Li scolded secretly, "Come on, you move to the side, let my carriage pass, I'm in a hurry, otherwise I'll run over you, in this wilderness, no one will pay attention to a dead beggar, don't lie to me." ”
When the old man heard that Wang Li refused to take him, he was anxious, so he smiled and said: "Otherwise, the old man will give you a life, if you think the old man is accurate, give me a ride, if not, I will let you pass, you see how this is." ”
Wang Xingzhong was thinking, no matter what you are, I can't say for sure, what kind of fortune teller will you be an old storyteller, it's better to be in a hurry.
"Okay, then you can do it. ”
The old man's face was overjoyed, and he pretended to pinch his hands and pinch a few legal decisions, and asked, "Little brother's surname?"
"Wang Li. Wang Li saw that the old man was still staring at him, and said helplessly, "Wang Li, prince Wang, part." ”
Knowing Wang Li's name, the old man brushed a few more fancy gestures, pretending to be Xuanxuan and putting on a posture, closed his eyes and thought for a while, before he said with a serious face: "Just now, from the face and surname of the little brother, I have measured a verse from one of the twelve ancient gods, the Dutian Eternal Judgment Immortal Great God, and you can hear it: I would rather forget to leave the Moxian Immortal, and the snow will be a long time." I have always been afraid of the end of a dream, and the cause has not yet been solved. ”
"You still ask about me, old man, don't think that you have spoken a book, and I won't understand a poem by dragging it, and I'm fooling you. Wang Li sneered, "What kind of jumping god are you sentencing, let's fool others, and finally say a word, if you don't give way, if you don't give way, I will really overwhelm it." ”
"Don't. The old man saw that this trick was useless, and hurriedly said, "I haven't finished speaking, little brother, there is one more sentence." ”
"Say it quickly, then. ”
The old man smiled and beckoned Wang Li to come forward, Wang Li was not worried about what tricks he was playing, he moved closer, and said impatiently: "Say it quickly." ”
"Jun is from Guanghan. ”
The old man whispered to Wang Li, and this sentence echoed in Wang Li's mind like a thunderbolt from the sky.
"You...... Who are you?" Wang Li crossed over from the Guanghan Palace, how did this old man know, could it be that what kind of jumping god sentence is really useful?
Wang Li's mood was extremely complicated at the moment, he thought that no one knew what he had crossed over, and he could hide this secret by not telling others, but he didn't expect that in this wilderness, he was exposed by a ragged old man.
"Do you know the Guanghan Palace?"
Hearing the three words of Guanghan Palace, the old man's cloudy pupils shrank slightly, and then he smiled: "Of course I know, these are all calculated by the old man." Guanghan Palace, this is where Da Yao's well-being lies, and where the fortunes of the country are hidden. ”
started to talk nonsense again, Wang Li got up and looked at the old man sitting on the ground, and made up his mind, and said: "Get up, it's okay to go to Xianyang with me, but I have something to say in advance, you are not allowed to move in the car, and when you get to Xuanyang, you can find another person by yourself, don't rely on me." ”
"Thank you, thank you!" the old man was overjoyed, immediately stood up, and said, "The old man is a man with face, but he will not go back on his word." My surname is Fu, and my brother calls me Grandpa Fu. ”
No one asked what you called, Wang was speechless, and paid grandpa, I really gave you face.
He had a vague feeling that it was not a wise decision to bring the old man into the carriage.
Bumpy along the way, Chu Yi was very curious about this old man who got on the bus halfway, and looked at him from time to time, but was frightened by the old man's grinning smile, so he didn't dare to look at him anymore.
This old man also kept his promise, he really kept to himself in the car, he didn't say anything, and he didn't say much when he took the post station to rest, which made Wang Li a little confused.
It wasn't until he crossed the city gate that the old man showed his feet.
"What, you want to follow me?" Wang Li said angrily, "Didn't you say that you would go to Xiyang by yourself?"
"Yes, the old man has a bad memory, I really don't remember much, I only remember that the little brother said that he would be responsible for the old man's daily life, and said that he would take care of me as a grandfather, did the little brother want to repay the debt?"
Yes, it was calculated.
Wang Li secretly scolded himself for being too merciful, he should have known that he should have ignored this bad old man, but now that he is in trouble, how can he get out?
"I heard Miss Chuyi say in the car, the little brother is too often born to take office in Yiyang, presumably the mansion is naturally very large, and I am a lonely old man to live for a while, it is very simple to think about it, and the old man thanked the little brother first. ”
Can't get rid of this old man, you can't kick him out of the carriage, how to say that he is also a pharmacist, this is also a duty to save lives and help others, Wang is troublesome, when the time comes, arrange a hut for him to live, it is not a big deal, so he waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, you will live with me, but don't tell others that it is my grandfather, otherwise I will turn my face, and you can't stay if you want to." ”
When the old man saw that Wang Li agreed, he pretended to be deaf and dumb and said, "Well, okay, just say that I am your grandfather." ”
