Chapter 41: The Adventure of Xiangyang (6)
"......" He Ergou sat up from the bed, and as soon as he opened his eyes, a strong dizziness filled He Ergou's brain.
"What kind of place is this......" He Ergou looked around, wondering if someone took advantage of the danger of others and kidnapped him after he passed out.
He Ergou looked around and preliminarily determined that this was a dilapidated small thatched house, and it was the kind that looked very familiar.
Suddenly, he found that Yue Wen was not in the house, "Could it be that Steward Yang sent someone to plot against us?" He Ergou was shocked.
"Yue Wen, Yue Wen!" He Ergou hurriedly jumped to the ground, intending to go out to see if Yue Wen was nearby.
At this time, the door of the house opened, and a dazzling sunlight shone into this dim space, and He Ergou was about to lose his eyes all of a sudden, and could only see the dust flying in front of him shining in the light.
A dark shadow appeared at the door, he stood in the light, He Ergou couldn't see his appearance at all, and asked vigilantly: "Who are you!"
The shadow didn't respond, but instead placed a piece of the object he was touching on the table, turned and closed the door.
The house suddenly returned to a dim environment, and He Ergou had not regained his eyesight for a while.
I only heard that the back seemed to deliberately slow down and approach step by step.
He Ergou didn't care if he could see it, he hurriedly jumped back, raised his voice and asked, "Who are you?
The footsteps suddenly stopped, and an old voice sounded: "What are you talking about?"
He Ergou couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the old voice, as if he understood something.
His eyes widened fiercely, trying to see the appearance of the person who came-it was the father who Xiao Long said lived in Xiangyang City, no wonder this room looked familiar, it turned out to be the small dilapidated house he had just seen through the crack in the door.
He Ergou breathed a sigh of relief, greeted the old man, and when he got closer, he saw that the old man was holding a scoop of clear water in his hand.
The old man handed the water to He Ergou and sat down on the broken bed.
It can be seen from the experience of speaking just now that this old man's ears are not very good, He Ergou raised his voice a few degrees, and asked again: "Old man, why am I in your house, how long have I been lying here?"
When the old man heard He Ergou speak, he immediately tilted his head sideways and put his ear to He Ergou's mouth. It wasn't until He Ergou finished speaking that he twisted his head, looked at He Ergou, and said: "Hey, I was sleeping in the house, and I heard someone fall down outside the door, and I went out immediately, and I found you lying on the ground, and there was a dumb doll squatting next to you babbling, I helped you into the house, and then went out to see, the dumb doll was gone." I said that I would give you a scoop of water from the well, but I didn't expect you to wake up in such a moment. ”
The old man said this slowly, as if because he had said too much at once, and the old man suddenly began to cough violently.
"It seems that Xiao Long really didn't lie about this......" He Ergou thought secretly, "Fortunately, I didn't sleep too long......"
But after thinking about it, He Ergou is still not at ease. So he asked again, "Old man, do you know Xiao Long?"
"Xiao Long, I haven't heard of it!" the old man said, waving his hand.
He Ergou's heart sank: "I thought that Xiao Long really had his own troubles, but it seems that he made it all up, just a villain." ”
"However, my surname is also Xiao!" the old man said, and he grinned, "I also have a son, named Xiao Dabao!"
The old man stood up with a smile on his face, stretched his rickety body hard, raised his hands high, and gestured vigorously: "My son, I have this beam so high!
He Ergou was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Old man, does Ling Lang tie his hair on weekdays?"
"What wolf?" the old man's eyes widened, and he looked at He Ergou suspiciously.
He Ergou scratched his head in embarrassment, it seems that this old man doesn't seem to have much knowledge, and he is not the same as the people in this era.
So, He Ergou changed his words and said, "Your son!
When this sentence was asked, the old man laughed and coughed, and He Ergou hurriedly patted the old man on the back gently.
After coughing for a while, the old man stopped, and clapped his hands vigorously with a smile: "My son, I haven't grown hair since I was a child......!" cough cough cough ......"
The old man laughed and coughed violently again.
He Ergou looked at the old man coughing and leaned back and forth, but when it came to his bald son Xiao Dabao, he still smiled so brightly that he turned his head away as soon as his nose was sore.
"It seems that what Xiao Long said is true, his name is Xiao Dabao, but he just came out to be a local snake, and he has to change the name of a person who can live in the town. He has been lying to his family that he is on an errand in the government, and he is also afraid that his seriously ill father will worry...... "For some reason, He Ergou's heart hurt like a needle.
"Sure enough, it's not easy for everyone......" He Ergou sighed with a wry smile.
Suddenly, He Ergou thought that in this era, a single flu can become a terminal illness, so why not show it to the elderly?
"Although I am also from biological sciences, it is still possible to cure a small cold...... He Ergou remembered that when he was a child, he always had a cold because of lung cold, and he gradually recovered by taking Chinese medicine. Coupled with the poverty of the elderly, there must also be a decrease in immunity caused by malnutrition......
Thinking of this, He Ergou stood up and leaned into the old man's ear, so that he could hear clearly: "You are waiting for me here, I still have some things to do, I will be back before dark!"
"Eh, eh," the old man nodded, "my son came back before dark." ”
He Ergou smiled: "That's good, let's have a meal together in the evening." With that, He Ergou got up and walked to the door.
"Eh!" He Ergou was just about to go out, but he heard the old man shouting anxiously, He Ergou smiled in his heart, the old man's family is so poor, I said to stay and eat, he will definitely refuse.
So, He Ergou turned around and explained to the old man: "Don't worry! I'm going to buy meat, tonight ......."
But before He Ergou finished speaking, the old man interrupted him and said, "You doll, you just woke up and drank the water!"
He Ergou watched the old man holding the ladle of water, anxiously chasing a few steps, and the remaining half of the sentence was stuck in his mouth, standing there blankly. After a long while, he smiled and said, "Good!"
After that, take the scoop and drink it all in one gulp.
