Volume 2 Going to the Dust Chapter 77 The Unseen Old Man
After lunch, Su Yu took the girl and Li Minghai to run around the city.
As a result, another hard-working worker was taken by Su Yu and embarked on the road of greedy fun.
Li Minghai didn't want to say too much about the shopkeeper of the teahouse, so Su Yu had no way of knowing any news about the shopkeeper, and this trip was not beneficial to him to find the library, if ordinary people would definitely think that Su Yu taking Li Haiming to play was unnecessary and wasteful.
But Su Yu felt that it was necessary, and similarly, Su Yu had no scheming.
Su Yu is a more straightforward person, I asked if you could see your shopkeeper, and you said no, then forget it, if you don't see it, you won't see it.
It is precisely because of this that Li Minghai dared to go out to play with Su Yu, a friend who had made friends in a daze.
Li Minghai was originally from the capital, and he knew a lot more about what could be played and eaten in Ningkang City than Su Yu, so it was Su Yu who led the girl to tour the city with him, and finally changed the city and he led Su Yu and the girl to visit the city.
I have to say that Ning Kang is so big, it is really huge, and Su Yu even feels that even the city where he was before the accident was only so big.
There is still a big difference between modern cities and ancient city buildings, after all, cities are not surrounded by city walls, the population is dense, and the housing buildings are tall and large, compared with the ancient buildings that generally only have two floors and three floors, the difference is clear at a glance.
The three of them played from noon to evening, and both of them lived in the middle of the city, and their residences were not far from each other, so they parted not far from the last one of the three of them played.
After breaking up with Li Minghai, Su Yu took the girl down the street and walked towards the inn.
In the evening, the sky was already gray, and the streets were full of lanterns and candles, and the pedestrians on both sides of the street were still bustling with people, and there were no fewer horse-drawn carriages and the like on the avenue.
Although there are many people on the street, but the street is very large, Su Yu has been walking with the girl and is not too crowded, Guiyuan is at the junction of Chengxi District and Chengzhong District, not very far from the inn, the two walked for a while and returned to the inn.
Xiao Er has seen a lot of people, and he is very accurate in seeing people, and when he saw Su Yu's usual sparse face when he entered the door, he knew that Su Yu couldn't see anyone, so he hurriedly walked forward with a pot of hot tea.
"The young master is back, have you eaten?"
Hearing Xiao Er's words, Su Yu took the girl and sat at the empty table next to him, and sighed slightly, which made Su Yu sigh without knowing whether he was happy or sad.
This time, Xiao Er also scratched his head anxiously, not knowing how to speak.
"It's not easy, come, let's serve us a few dishes first!" Su Yu also knew that his approach would embarrass Xiao Er, so he stood up and patted Xiao Er's bent back.
Su Yu didn't use much strength, but Xiao Er was just an ordinary person, and after being patted by Su Yu, his bent waist straightened, and Xiao Er was suddenly startled.
The subordinate must look like a subordinate, and in front of the guests, he must bend down to show respect.
"How beautiful it looks if you straighten your waist!"
Su Yu chuckled, "Okay, serve me food, little second brother!"
......
Tea is a good thing, and for some people, wine is also a good thing.
Li Minghai did not go directly back to his residence, but came to a small courtyard, which was not the residence of a wealthy merchant or official, but a small courtyard with three entrances.
Li Minghai looked at some old wooden doors, pushed the door in, closed the door lightly and walked along the corridor, the corridor was not long, and soon walked to the front of the hall.
There was no one in the hall, Li Minghai raised his eyebrows lightly, walked down the corridor again, and arrived at the back room after passing the ear room.
Li Minghai, who has learned the tea ceremony since he was a child, is not only sensitive to the taste of tea, but also very sensitive to some pungent tastes.
The wine is very fragrant, but Li Minghai doesn't like wine, he remembers that when he was three years old, it was his father who drank and drowsy to provoke those hunters who swaggered and deceived under the slogan of eliminating harm and demons for the people......
Hunters are not hunters, but a very strange profession, the folk say that this profession is very extreme, some people think that hunters for the people to eliminate harm, kill demons and demons, when the status of immortals to treat it, some people think that hunters oppress the people, cheat and deceive, and they are determined by doing no evil.
Without thinking too much, Li Minghai fanned his nose with his hand, although he couldn't let the rich aroma of wine fade in the slightest, but it could be regarded as giving him some spiritual comfort.
Pushing open the wooden door in the back room, the wooden door creaked, sounding like some wooden door that had fallen into disrepair.
Li Minghai shook his head, a little helpless, and walked towards the backyard without bringing the wooden door.
"I've seen sir, I've seen immortals. ”
As soon as Li Minghai came to the door of the backyard, he saw two old men drinking, and then Li Minghai asked one of the old men in a black robe, with white hair and a sparse gray beard on his chin, "Sir, has the wooden door in the back room been broken by you again?"
"Your husband didn't do it lightly or heavily, and I blamed me for not taking a good look at him. ”
Another old man dressed in white, with white hair and a beard on his chin that was longer than the one next to him, replied to Li Minghai. At this time, his face was flushed and his body was shaking, but he was able to speak very fluently.
"Fart, old ...... Old...... Old thing, you don't want to be like this...... It's so shameless, it's obviously your ......"
The old man who was called Mr. by Li Minghai heard the words of the old man in white, and immediately put the wine glass in his hand down on the table, and let out a loud collision sound.
"Old thing, you're drunk, hahaha, don't say that I'm bullying you, even if it's ten more Gus, I'll be okay!"
The old man in white saw that the old man in the black robe was talking and stammering, and his words were barely clear, and he was so happy in his heart that he didn't bother to pay attention to who broke the wooden door.
"Don't be complacent, I'm ...... It's also to drink ten more Gu ...... It's okay to drink ten more Gu!"
The black-robed old man was not convinced, staggered to his feet, picked up a can of wine next to him and directly tilted his head down, not even using a cup, looking very bold, making people feel like drinking in a big bowl.
"Good!"
The old man in white was also unceremoniously, picked up the wine glass and looked at it, thinking that it was too stingy, so he threw it on the table, and like the old man next to him, picked up a can of wine and patted it open, and raised his head to drink.
Seeing the two of them like this, Li Minghai shook his head helplessly and sighed lightly.
"What is the young man sighing, do you want to use wine to kill your sorrows?"
The old man in white couldn't help but be a little puzzled when he saw Li Minghai shaking his head and sighing, and when he found the complicated look in Li Minghai's eyes, he invited him to drink.
"You old bastard......! Ah Hai should step back first!"
After listening to the words of the old man in white, before Li Minghai could speak, his husband angrily scolded the old man in white and scolded him as a bastard.
"This ...... In this way, sir, immortal, disciple will take their leave first. ”
Li Minghai was neither angry nor sad, his mood was a little unexpected, and after hesitating for a while, he listened to his husband's words and retreated first.
It was dark, and the yard was not far from his residence, so Li Minghai returned to his small yard shortly after dark.
The small courtyard is connected to the teahouse, and the teahouse does not open for evening tea, and closes in the evening, when the lights have long been gone.
There was a light in the small courtyard, and there were a few men left in the teahouse and a tea master, and the rest of the tea masters had their own residences in the city.
"Ah Hai, where did you go this afternoon? Why didn't I see you? I wanted you to go to the lobby to try making a big pot of tea, and I would be able to sit in the lobby in the future. ”
One sat at the stone table in the front courtyard of the courtyard, picking tea leaves by the faint moonlight, and didn't care about a candle in the room.
In the darkness of the night, the person's face was difficult to see, but the deep concern in his words could be heard.
"Senior brother, I made a friend. ”
Li Minghai sat opposite the man, gently pulled the dustpan on the table to his side, and like the person opposite, he picked up the tea leaves by the faint moonlight.
"Good thing, does the gentleman know?"
The voice of the person on the other side was very gentle, like the brother next door, giving people a sense of affinity.
"I went to the courtyard, sir, he and the Lingxian people ......were drinking," Li Minghai said as he picked up the tea leaves, and after a pause, he continued, "They also broke the wooden door." ”
"Ningkang City is very big, but the world is bigger, you should go out and see, the door is broken, but there are still many doors in the world. ”
The man tilted his head slightly, looked at the sky, the cold wind blew his long hair on his temples, and his face was still a little difficult to see in the dark night.
Li Minghai's eyes lit up a little, he obviously wanted to go out to have a look, but after thinking about it, his husband was already old, and it was time for him to fulfill his filial piety, "What the senior brother said is right in my heart, but ...... Sir, is the old man willing to let me go out? My parents are here, and I don't travel far, and although my parents are gone, my husband has to take care of me for a while. ”
The man on the other side, who was called a senior brother by Li Minghai, chuckled: "I haven't been out of the house all these years, so I'll take care of my husband! It just so happens that I know both of you well, and it's much easier to take care of them." ”
Hearing this, Li Minghai felt a little surprised, his senior brother had been traveling far away a few years ago, how could he have met that immortal? He had been adopted by his husband since he was a child, and he had been following his husband, that is, he only learned a few years ago that his husband actually had such an old friend.
Li Minghai doesn't know much about his senior brother, when he was a child, he was watched by his senior brother to grow up, and a few years ago, his senior brother has been traveling far away, Li Minghai feels that his senior brother knows him very well, but he doesn't know him.
"Ah Hai, you don't have to think too much. I have traveled to many places in the world, and I have seen countless scenery in between, but I can't explain the meaning or give you the will, so I want you to go out and see. ”
The man said softly, with some laughter and some sighs in his gentle voice.
Li Minghai thought about it and stopped what he was doing.
It was dark, and the night was colder than the day, and suddenly, a small snowflake fell on the back of Li Minghai's motionless hand.
Li Minghai's senior brother did not interrupt Li Minghai's thoughts, and hurriedly put away the dustpan and walked into the house. The tea leaves in the dustpan are good tea, and if they are spoiled by snow, they will be wasted.
The front courtyard of the courtyard is not lit, so it looks dark, but the house and the city outside the courtyard are brightly lit, and the dark night cannot hide the afterglow that sneaks into the courtyard from outside the courtyard.
Li Minghai raised his head slightly, and found that it was snowing, and his senior brother was no longer in the yard, so he stood up and gently patted off the thin layer of snow above his head.
Seeing the extremely bright lights outside the courtyard, Li Minghai felt a yearning in his heart. Mr. Zeng said that he was too young and weak to go out, and now, he is not small, nor weak, just enough to go out and see the lights outside, whether it is a bright road or a bright avenue, always have to take a look to know.
"Sir, I just want to tell you that I have made a friend. ”
