The thin figure looked at the old man sitting on the stone chair and eating peanut cake contentedly, and his face also showed some joy.

"Dad, is the peanut cake delicious?"

The old man squinted his eyes and shook his head, and only a few single sounds of "uh-huh" came out of his mouth.

Mr. Xiao Lu chuckled, took out a handkerchief and wiped the crumbs from the corner of the old man's mouth, and took out a piece of peanut cake to him on the plate. When the old man swallowed the peanut cake and couldn't wait to reach over with one hand, Mr. Xiao Lu deliberately raised the plate this time.

"Dad, I can't eat it. You have bad teeth, we said you can only eat two pieces a day. ”

As if he hadn't heard, the old man stood up anxiously, stood up on tiptoe to grab the plate in Mr. Xiao Lu's hand, "Yes, yes, cake, eat!"

"Dad, you don't mean what you're talking about. He took a few steps back, put his hand down, and said in an extremely helpless tone, "If that's the case, Alu won't bring peanut cakes to Daddy tomorrow." ”

The old man stopped his movements when he heard this, froze in place, and looked at the man in front of him aggrievedly with the corners of his mouth.

Mr. Xiao Lu stepped forward, put the plate on the stone table, and comforted the old man while caressing his back: "Dad, you listen to Alu, Alu will bring you peanut cake tomorrow, okay?"

The old man's eyes stared at the plate without blinking, and finally he swallowed and nodded.

"That's it, and ah, I'm going to keep the rest of the peanut cake. He heard it, and the innocent eyes of a child turned with doubt. Mr. Xiao Lu was about to continue to explain, when there was a knock on the door.

Tuk Tuk Tuk –

Qiye and Meng Yunsheng, who were lurking on the wall, also looked out of the wooden door. At this time, it was already the willow tip on the moon, and outside the wooden door stood a man dressed in a Taoist robe and holding a dust.

Qi Ye's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but whisper: "It turned out to be him." ”

Under the wall, Mr. Xiao Lu opened the door and didn't seem surprised to see someone coming. He bowed his head slightly and said, "Mr. is here." ”

"Alu, you're here again!" the looker, standing outside the door, grinned, and said in a very familiar tone, "How dare I call myself 'sir' in front of a real gentleman?"

Mr. Xiao Lu smiled faintly, brought him in and led him to the courtyard, picked up the plate on the stone table and handed it to him, "The peanut cake has already been prepared for you." ”

It looked like he was back at home, and he unceremoniously picked up the peanut cake on his plate and ate it. When his eyes saw the old man who was staring at him on the side, his face became more and more happy, "Uncle, it's me, I'm here again!"

He waved the whisk in his hand while eating the peanut cake, and turned around the old man. Xu is old man remembered something, his eyes changed from his previous unfriendliness, and he pointed at his face and laughed "giggle", "Old, old, Dao, old ......"

"Uncle, what are you talking about?" the looker didn't hear clearly, and leaned closer.

"Old, Dao, Dao, Shi......"

Now he heard it clearly, but he screamed "oops".

"Uncle, you're mistaken! I'm not an old Taoist!"

Coincidentally, Mr. Xiao Lu, who had just entered the back room, came out with a book in his hand.

"Alu, have you explained it to your uncle? Although I am wearing a Taoist robe and holding a dust, I have not entered that door, and I am not a real Taoist priest. I, a good-looking person, can also drink wine and eat meat, marry a wife and have children. ”

"My father's situation, Mr. doesn't know anything, what do you mind with him?"

Just one sentence instantly calmed down the looks. The looker put down the empty plate, and the man handed him the book before meeting.

"I have finished reading the "Tang Tutongjian" that my husband borrowed me to watch before, and now I will return it to my husband. Mr. Xiao Lu stretched out his hand and waved at him uprightly, "Thank you again for borrowing the book." ”

"Alu, ...... you" looked at the person in front of him stunned, looked down at the book in his hand, and finally sighed slowly, his face became bitter.

"Alu, what do you want me to say about you? There is no need to be so polite between you and me. You obviously like this "Tang Tu Tongjian" very much, and I also said that if I put it there for three years and five years, it doesn't matter if it's a lifetime. But you're still ...... Alas......"

The person in front of him still lowered his eyelids, silently half-bowing his head.

"It's like I always tell you I'm nameless, and you want to call me 'sir.'" The look-a-look laughed a little self-deprecatingly, "Who let me know that our Alu is actually a hot on the outside." ”

The laughter gradually spread to all corners of the small courtyard, and the thin gray shadow slowly raised its head, and its face did not change a little. The look-a-look stopped smiling, and looked at him with some inexplicable eyes.

Mr. Xiao Lu said: "Sir, since the peanut cake is finished, my father and I are going to rest." ”

In a word, an eviction order was issued. When the old man on the side heard this, he "giggled" and clapped his hands.

The look-a-look person held the book tightly and lowered his eyebrows. When he raised his head again, he had already regained the look he had when he first came, and he shouted, "Hey, Alu, aren't you? I just praised you, and you are so unkind?"

Having said that, he walked in the direction of the door. Until he walked out of the wooden door, the person who looked at him was still unwilling to say to the person inside, "Alu, you are really ruthless!"

"Sir, walk slowly. ”

"Tomorrow's ......"

Squeak –

The wooden door was tightly shut. The only one standing outside the door, his hand in the air awkwardly waved towards the door, "Tomorrow, I'll eat peanut cake again-"

Eventually, it all turned into a sigh and fell into the dust.

The scene in the small courtyard could not be seen outside the wooden door, but Qi Ye and Meng Yunsheng, who were lying on the wall, could see it clearly. When Mr. Xiao Lu came back after sending off the guests, he picked up the candlestick, and with the other hand he helped the old man sitting on the stone chair.

"Dad, it's late at night, let's go into the house and sleep. ”

After watching the excitement, the old man's face was already a little sleepy, so he let him arrange to enter the back room and closed the door again. Later, the light in the house was extinguished. There was silence in the courtyard.

One of the people who looked at the photo stood outside the door for a long time before leaving. It wasn't until the robe disappeared at the end of the road that Qi Ye and Meng Yunsheng flew down from the wall.

It's not easy to peek at other people's gossip. It's the winter moon, the weather is cold and the night is deep, and the limbs are already numb after staying on the wall for a long time. Qi Ye regarded his martial arts as mediocre, but since the battle of "Jingshui Gu Poison", the true qi in his body seemed to be much richer than before. The cold can't help her.

Besides, Meng Yunsheng, although he often calls himself a "Jinling scholar". But out of Jinling, Qi Ye slowly realized that the articulate and eloquent storyteller was actually not low in martial arts, and he was afraid that he was far above her senior brother's Merry Valley.

The two green shadows walked on the path in front of the wooden door, turned their necks in the night, and said to Meng Yunsheng while rejuvenating their muscles and bones: "That Mr. Xiang and this Mr. Xiao Lu turned out to be old acquaintances...... However, it also makes sense. Otherwise, he wouldn't have known about Aunt Five's peanut cake shop, let alone recommended the two of us to go...... Everything makes sense. ”

Meng Yunsheng turned his face sideways, looked at the woman beside him raised his eyebrows slightly, and listened to her continue to mumble.

Mr. Xiao Lu seems to be indifferent, but he even wants to share the peanut cake with others, but he doesn't keep a little for himself. Listening to what Mr. physiognomy said, it should be that he often comes to his house to eat peanut cakes. But why did Mr. Xiao Lu ...... him again?"

Before she could finish speaking, she felt a hand behind her back suddenly tap her on the shoulder, and she trembled in fright.

"Who is it?"

Qi Ye and Meng Yunsheng turned their heads and saw that in the moonlight field behind them, the man was wearing a Taoist robe, caressing the dust in his arms with one hand, and looked at the two of them with an extremely serious expression.

"I can't imagine that the two of you don't just like to peep on the wall, but you also like to speculate on others behind your back. ”
