Volume 2 Flip Chapter 54 Little Old Man
After passing through one flower path after another, over clumps of flowers, just when Su thought that he had fallen into the sea of flowers, the road finally came to an end.
At the end of the flower path are still flowers, but the difference is that they are no longer flowers on land, but half of a lotus.
The lotus pond bends, such as the crooked crescent moon, erects the nine-curved bridgehead, covers a water pavilion with vermilion green tiles, the flowers are in full bloom, but not densely clustered, or red or white dotted among them, showing quiet and elegant.
Although the sea of flowers in front is beautiful, it is too dense, and it is a little more tacky than the lotus pond. If you want to make a choice between the two, I am afraid that I still understand people, and I will choose the lotus pond.
Su Yu thought so, and also made a choice for the person in front of him, it was a kind little old man, with a round face, the top of his head was half bald, if it weren't for the excellent quality of the clothes, he was afraid that he would be recognized as a gardener.
However, the dim aura on the little old man's body made Su Yu feel a little ungraspable, both like a mortal and extraordinary.
But what really surprised him was the person standing next to the little old man - Lu Xiaofeng!
Lu Xiaofeng's state at this time didn't look good, his clothes were ragged, torn into pieces of wisps, and his shoes were torn, looking embarrassed, like an unlucky guy who had been shipwrecked.
And the wry smile on his face was also an unlucky look, and the only thing that was intact was perhaps the pair of beards that were still exquisite.
Lu Xiaofeng really said what he said, he said that he would go later, and then he followed Su Yu to this small island, and what he said was true. If it weren't for Su Yufang who stayed outside for half an afternoon, he wouldn't have been able to get ahead of him.
Although He Wu was young, he also knew the rules of the island, and knew that the little old man in front of him could not be offended, so he stopped from a distance, adjusted his breath, and then stepped forward carefully, and forgot to express his pride to "Zhang Wenpeng" who followed behind.
There were still more than a dozen steps away, and the two stopped, standing aside honestly, and listened to the little old man smile: "The mountain residence is lonely, there are few guests, and it is also a kind of fate for the distinguished guests.
He said it lightly, but he revealed a happy and peaceful situation, which made the weather-beaten Lu Xiaofeng envious.
"It's a pity, it's strange that Lu Mou believes you!" Lu Xiaofeng muttered in his heart, clenched his fists politely on his face, and said: "The elder is generous, Lu Xiaofeng is really flattered, but why is there a banquet again?"
As if he had heard something interesting, the little old man stroked his palms and laughed: "We also happen to have a small celebration here today, so the celebration of the distinguished guests can only be at the back." ”
This was said funny, Lu Xiaofeng also laughed, and said: "For such a reason, it seems that Lu Xiaofeng's luck is not bad to the end, but why don't the elders make two celebrations together, wouldn't it be more convenient?"
The little old man shook his head lightly and quipped: "If you can celebrate twice a day and be happy twice, is it too much for a distinguished guest?"
Lu Xiaofeng slapped his forehead, looked remorseful, and said, "What the elder said is reasonable, Lu is wrong!"
"Since you know your mistake, you can get a reward for Lu Gongzi later!"
The little old man spoke kindly and humorously, even if Lu Xiaofeng was wary, he couldn't help but be infected a little, bowed his hand again, and couldn't help asking, "I don't know what you're celebrating today?"
"Today is the first time that the little girl will eat by herself, so everyone gathers together and eats the food she has eaten. The little old man had a smile of relief on his face, and his tone was gentle, and his love was overflowing.
"It's really something to celebrate. Lu Xiaofeng laughed loudly, and said: "The master is polite, but Lu Xiaofeng hasn't even asked for the name of the master's family for a long time, which is really rude." ”
Having said that, there was an image of a little milk baby with a pacifier in Lu Xiaofeng's mind, and he quietly compared the old man's age, and couldn't help but sigh silently: "It's really a model for my generation, and you should be strong when you are old!"
"It's okay, it's okay!" The little old man waved his hand, not caring and said: "The little old man is just a cheap name, and it is not loud to say, the mouth is Wu, the sun and the moon are bright, and it is called Wu Ming, there is neither the mouth of swallowing the sky, nor the light of the sun and the moon, but he has wronged this name." ”
Hearing this, the two laughed at the same time, and the guests and hosts were happy for a while.
Seeing their leisure, He Wucai stepped forward, bent down and bowed, and said respectfully: "I've seen the island master!"
Later, Su Yu, who pretended to be Zhang Wenpeng, also bowed down.
"Where are you two coming from?" The little old man put away his smile, his tone was gentle, with a different kind of majesty, which was very different from the image of Fang Cai's kindness, even Lu Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment.
"The master was feasting in front of the mountain, and told me to come back and fetch wine. He Wu replied first, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, quite complacent, as if it was a very honorable thing to be able to speak in front of the little old man.
"In that case, let yourself go. ”
"No!"
The two of them bowed to the little old man again, and then they turned around the Jiuqu Bridge and went to the small courtyard on the side, Lu Xiaofeng became interested instead, and said with a smile: "It turns out that there are others who started celebrating earlier than us?"
The little old man turned around and said, "There is no formality here, everyone depends on their will, I don't care about these, but I have to remember one rule." ”
Lu Xiaofeng asked curiously, "What are the rules?"
In his mind, since life on the island is lonely, it's always a good thing to celebrate a lot, why bother talking about rules, restraining everyone for no reason, and diluting popularity, isn't it inconsistent?
"Rely on yourself!" the little old man said lightly, his tone was unprecedentedly affirmative, and then explained: "There are the best cooks and the best tailors on the island, and no matter what kind of enjoyment is the best in the world, but the price is not low, and it is difficult for those who cannot afford to make a lot of money to survive here." ”
Glancing at Lu Xiaofeng's embarrassed dress, the little old man added: "Your guest came here for the first time today, everything is free." ”
It's free today, and it's going to be counted tomorrow, Lu Xiaofeng suddenly remembered that he didn't bring much silver taels with him, and he suddenly became anxious for his belly.
What's even more excessive is that seeing that the sun has begun to set westward, the so-called today is already in the past.
You must know that he is a very good person, with the best wine and food, never need to be inferior, if this is really a desert island, maybe he can still endure the pain, but how can he endure the first-class service on the island?
"So you're still in business?" Lu Xiaofeng laughed twice, and then asked, "Then how do I make a living?"
"There's a gambling house on the island!"
"Bet on what?"
"Bet on the dice!"
"This is Lu's forte. Lu Xiaofeng suddenly smiled, as if he had won.
But he does have the qualifications to be proud, since he learned to play dice at the age of six or seven, by the time he was sixteen or seventeen, he had mastered all throwing techniques, pouring lead, mercury, and loading magnets, these were all children's tricks for him, as for those who wanted to test their skills with him, he Lu Xiaofeng would definitely let him know that a mountain was higher than a mountain.
"Are you going now?" asked the little old man again.
"No, I'm going to drink first. Lu Xiaofeng pointed and walked down from the Jiuqu Bridge again, bowed to this side, each holding a small hat in a green coat from a wine jar, and snickered: "Isn't there another celebration when you turn around?"
His calculations are quite beautiful, he wants to take advantage of any cheapness, and he doesn't want to give up.
Although the sealing mud of the wine jar is intact and the wine gas has not dissipated, Lu Xiaofeng can conclude that the two jars of wine have been stored for at least thirty years just by observing the color of the sealed mud.
If you don't drink good wine, he Lu Xiaofeng will not be Lu Xiaofeng.
The little old man glanced at him and said, "Just dress up like this?"
Lu Xiaofeng nodded affirmatively and said, "Just dress up like this." ”
It shouldn't be rude, Lu Xiaofeng thought to himself.
As for the rudeness, what about him, Lu Xiaofeng only cares about being chic and happy, how can he care about others looking uncomfortable?
Unless, it's a beauty!
Speaking of beauty, Lu Xiaofeng's eyes suddenly straightened, it was a tall and soft woman, with long black hair, like waves, a pair of cat-like eyes, flashing blue light like sea water, with coldness and intelligence, and a little lazy, which deeply attracted his attention.
The little old man smiled, "Do you still want to drink now?"
Lu Xiaofeng was stunned for a while, shook his head in distress, gritted his teeth and said: "Beautiful women always can't run away, good wine is not necessarily, by the way, what is her name?"
"Her name is Shaman. The little old man did not embarrass him, and immediately replied, with a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes, and the next moment, he returned to his happy appearance.
Lu Xiaofeng was sure that he was not mistaken, this amiable little old man was a more treacherous guy than a fox, and he was waiting to see him fall on his head.
So, he turned around with "difficulty", stretched out his sleeves, and used the phoenix dance for nine days, and suddenly soared into the air, as if the elegant phoenix swept past Shaman, chasing after the two Tsing Yi hats who had disappeared.
Although the clothes are ragged, there is still a chic atmosphere, and in front of beautiful women, Lu Xiaofeng always behaves perfectly.
Of course, it would have been more perfect if he could resist the staggered and outdated, instinctively inflamed nose.
"Hmph, Deng's apprentice!" Shaman glared back, coldly glaring at Lu Xiaofeng's peeking gaze, his cat-like eyes full of contemptuous sneer.
"It's quite characterful!" Lu Xiaofeng touched his mustache, felt the aroma he had just inhaled, shook his arms, and disappeared into the air with a bang.
"He's a capable apprentice!" the little old man said with a smile, his eyes turning twice on Shaman, the meaning of which was unknown.
Shaman suppressed the fear in his heart, stretched out his hand and said, "Bring it!"
The little old man sighed: "I lost again, how much?"
Sharman rolled her fingers, slender and powerful, but delicate, like her heart, just like her appearance.
The little old man nodded and said, "When are you going to pay me back?"
"Next time!"
Next time, I was afraid that every gambler would say that he would pay it back next time when he borrowed money, but the little old man didn't care, he really drew a few silver tickets and walked out of the water pavilion with his head shaken.
That look, like a father who spoils his children.
Sharman felt the fear again.
