Chapter 166: Uncle Jiang
Qiu Tongcoffin thought that he had touched some kind of mechanism formation, and hurriedly retracted his body backwards.
Just shrunk two steps, he suddenly felt that his whole person seemed to be frozen, an inexplicable force dragged him desperately, under the struggle between the two, he suddenly felt that his body was light, and the whole person was pulled into the air, when he inadvertently looked back, he found that his body was still left on the ground, Qiu Tongcoffin always thought that the soul was out of the body, but it was a grotesque story in mythology, but he didn't expect it to really happen to him.
He now felt like a ball of cotton, floating in the air, with nowhere to focus.
At this moment, a voice sounded: "Shenwu Taiyue!!"
From the dilapidated attic, a shadow knife flew out, piercing Qiu Tongcoffin's eyebrows, Qiu Tongcoffin, who had never practiced martial arts, was so frightened that he screamed, closed his eyes, and was so anxious that he took his palms and put them on his head, waving wildly.
After waiting for a while, Qiu Tongcoffin suddenly felt that the scenery around him had changed, and when he opened his eyes again, the attic in front of him had long since disappeared, replaced by the dilapidated firewood house.
Qiu Tongcoffin hurriedly touched his body with his hand, and did not find a single wound, but he clearly remembered that he had gone out and had seen the gloomy strange building, why did he come back suddenly, he went around in the firewood room, and did not find anything strange.
Is it really a daydream?
A footstep outside the chai door gradually approached, and Qiu Tongcoffin recognized this voice, which was the footsteps of the old man who saved him at the beginning.
Uncle is also an old slave in Jiangdaolou, surnamed Jiang, everyone calls him Uncle Jiang, it seems that there is always such a diligent old slave in this world, everyone knows what his surname is, but no one knows his full name.
Uncle Jiang is kind, works in the kitchen and flower garden all the year round, and sees people regardless of their status, they are given three points of thin noodles, and his popularity is also very good.
Jiang Bo carried the food box in his hand and put it in front of Qiu Tongcoffin with a smile: "The flower yard is a little busy today, it's late, are you hungry?"
Qiu Tongcoffin had some undried sweat beads on his face because of the fright just now, he wiped his face twice, took the food box and said: "I'm not hungry, what I ate yesterday hasn't finished today, thank you Uncle Jiang." ”
For Uncle Jiang's kindness, Qiu Tongcoffin is grateful in his heart, in those wandering days when he can't eat enough and don't have warm clothes, he doesn't know how many white eyes he has suffered, and people often tease him disgustingly, giving him white rice while spitting into the rice.
Qiu Tongxiang, who was young, always thought that most of the people in the world were evil, and under a kind face, there was always a demon who no one could suppress.
After meeting Uncle Jiang directly, he ate some clean meals, even the leftovers that he snatched from Uncle Jiang for the first time, for him, it was clean, because at least no one deliberately spit in it.
Jiang Bo opened the food box for him: "Eat quickly, it will be cold in a while." ”
Qiu Tongcoffin took the dishes and chopsticks, the first bite of the big white rice, he took a big bite, halfway through eating, he remembered that it was no longer a day of wandering, there was no need to eat so ugly, he raised his head and looked at Jiang Bo embarrassedly, as if apologizing for what he had just eaten, Jiang Bo smiled and asked him to eat quickly, Qiu Tongcoffin slowly ate it.
While he was eating, Jiang Bo said: "These days, I have wronged you by locking you in this firewood room." ”
Qiu Tongcoffin sandwiched a pair of chopsticks to fry meat, and took a big mouthful of rice, and said vaguely: "No, no, if you don't be beaten or scolded, you can't be wronged." ”
Qiu Tongcoffin didn't know why, but he still changed the problem of eating faster and faster, as if someone was robbing him.
Jiang Bo looked at him with pity: "Alas, at a young age, how many sins have been suffered. After a while, when the building recruits a coarse gardener, I will lead you to order a booklet, and then you can follow me in and out of this Jiangdao Building freely, but in some places, the master of the building has ordered, we are not allowed to approach, and you have to remember it at that time. ”
Qiu Tongcoffin thought to himself that in the past few days, he had secretly gone out for a walk, and he didn't know how many taboos he had committed, especially the old building that he didn't know if it was a dream just now, it was really scary to think about it, and he might never forget the feeling of the tip of the knife going straight to the center of his eyebrows for the rest of his life, just like the feeling of sweat on the soles of his feet all the way to the door of his head.
Qiu Tongxiang could only nod with food in his mouth.
Jiang Bodao: "I have no ability in my old bones all my life, I will serve the cheap ability of flowers and plants a little bit, when you follow me as an apprentice, I will teach you all these skills, I will also fry two dishes, you also learn by the way, you will marry a wife in the future, and you will not starve to death if you quarrel." ”
Qiu Tongqi raised his head and asked, "Why did you marry a wife, if you quarrel, you will be starved to death." ”
Jiang Bo smiled: "In the future, when you marry a wife, you will know." ”
Qiu Tongqi asked, "Uncle Jiang, did you marry Lao Bo?"
Jiang Bo was stunned and said, "It's considered to have been married... If you eat more, you're almost at the bottom of your meal, and there are no less slices of meat. ”
Qiu Tongcoffin said: "Hehe, this rice, fragrant!
In Qiu Tongcoffin's opinion, this fragrant fried meat, if it is not worthy of two large mouthfuls of rice, it is simply an outrageous waste.
Jiang Bo rubbed Qiu Tong's head with his hand, and smiled kindly.
When Jiang Bo was young, he always thought that marrying a wife and having children and passing on the family line was just a formality, and there was no emotion at all.
But at his age, when he looked at this sentence again, he realized it again.
If he has a son now, if he really wants to say that he will pass on the ancestry, it is no longer important to pass on the incense or anything, what he really wants to pass on is to teach everything he will know after living this life, and then watch his son take these skills and exchange them for a mouthful of food and clothing, then this life is enough.
Inadvertently, Uncle Jiang has regarded this helpless Qiu Tongcoffin as his son, and Uncle Jiang did not expect the regret of having no children under his knees for a lifetime, and finally when he was about to enter the earth, he was able to get his wish.
God always treats him well, although he is close to old age, he has a small blessing with little time.
It didn't take long for Jiang Daolou to post notices to recruit a new group of subordinates, Jiang Bo led Qiu Tong's coffin to order the booklet, Jiang Bo pulled the steward aside, and introduced Qiu Tong's coffin with a smile that Qiu Tong's coffin was his nephew, the steward's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what Jiang Bo meant, so he hooked Qiu Tong's coffin's name to the gardener column.
Doing Uncle Jiang a favor is doing yourself a favor. Uncle Jiang often buys some wine, and personally cooks for a group of people who are tired of a day to make a tooth sacrifice or something, but anyone who has eaten Uncle Jiang's fried vegetables, next time they will even take the initiative to buy wine to invite Uncle Jiang to cook, everyone said, with Uncle Jiang's cooking skills, I am afraid that he used to cook in front of the emperor, otherwise how could it be so delicious, Uncle Jiang always smiled and explained that he did not have such a good life.
Qiu Tongcoffin followed Jiang Bo into the Jiangdao Building for the first time, most of the decorations in the building are mainly black, which is extremely solemn, and the architectural style in the building is also very weird.
Qiu Tongcoffin changed into a florist's clothes, Jiang Bo looked at his eyes, and his heart also smiled, he can be regarded as a "descendant", although he is not a son, but he is also a person who is sincerely willing to learn his own skills.
Jiang Bo led him to the flower garden, Qiu Tongcoffin stood at the door, lingering, he said a little scared: "I just entered the building here, I'm afraid that the master hasn't seen me yet, just go in like this, will I be beaten and scolded for a while?"
Uncle Jiang was relieved: "No, you can come in with me, the owner of this flower garden is not in the garden now, you can rest assured that you can come in with me, I will tell you some superficial abilities first." ”
Qiu Tongcoffin cautiously followed Jiang Bo into the garden, as soon as he entered the garden, all kinds of flowers began to keep rushing into his nose, Qiu Tongcoffin had never smelled so many flowers in his life, and when he was nervous, he was so anxious that he pinched his nose.
Jiang Bo asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"
Qiu Tongqi looked around in a panic: "This... This is.. What does it taste like!?"
It turned out that Qiu Tongcoffin, who had been rolling in the stinky ditch all the year round, had long forgotten what the fragrance of flowers was, and he was worried about whether he could eat a full meal every day, and how could he be in the mood to enjoy the flowers.
Jiang Bo smiled and held Qiu Tong's coffin's hand: "This is the fragrance of flowers, you inhale slowly, listen to the master, this is a flower for cultivators to smell, ordinary people, just suck slowly for the first time, it will be fine after a while, let's inhale the same has the benefit of prolonging life." ”
Qiu Tongcoffin smelled with confidence, and looked around, all kinds of colors crowded his eyes, it was like a dream, strange flowers and fragrances, swaying and fragrant.
This courtyard is also very large, as soon as you walk in, you will step into a sea of flowers, and it will only grow to the coffin of Qiu Tong on Jiang Bo's chest, even if you jump up, you can't see the edge.
After jumping a few times, he gave up: "This garden is so big! Whose garden is this? Raising so many flowers, Uncle Jiang, you must be very tired every day to take care of so many flowers." ”
Jiang Bodao: "This is the eldest lady's garden, don't look at the flowers here, but like ordinary flowers, they are spiritual, where there is sunshine, they turn over there, I heard that there is a formation here, and when it comes to a certain time, it will automatically attract rain, so although there are many flowers, it is not very difficult to take care of them." ”
Qiu Tongqi asked, "Eldest Miss?" is the eldest lady of Jiangdaolou?"
Jiang Bodao pointed to a wooden building not far away and said: "That is the eldest lady's boudoir, when the eldest lady was still in the garden, she spent every day in her hand, and spent a lot of time in the wooden building every day." ”
Qiu Tong pointed his eyes and looked towards the wooden building, only to see the wind gently blowing the green yarn mantra in the wooden building, but there was no one inside.
Qiu Tongqi asked, "Miss... Is the eldest lady good-looking?"
Jiang Bodao: "It's beautiful, even if you pile up the flowers in this garden, it can't compare to a single hair of the eldest lady." ”
Qiu Tongqi was puzzled: "Is there such a good-looking person in this world?"
