Chapter 36: A Chance Encounter with an Old Man
Hearing the exclamation, Shanhe reluctantly took his eyes off the food.
When he looked away, he found a familiar woman standing opposite, and said in surprise:
"Pigtails?"
That's right, this woman is the pigtailed girl that Shanhe met when he was hunting the bluemaned beast a few days ago.
On that day, due to the occasion and light, Shanhe did not observe this woman carefully.
When I looked at it today, I realized that this woman was extraordinarily cute!
Big eyes, small noses, cherry mouths, all full of aura. Coupled with the pigtails with the personality of the back of the head, and the big apron full of cartoon characters, no matter how you look at it, she is a cute little Lori.
Although she is not tall and her figure does not match the word plump, this does not affect her self-contained painting style, and everything feels just right.
Seeing that Shanhe recognized herself, the pigtailed girl smiled, and then turned her head and shouted to Qin Lao:
"Grandpa! This is the big fool I told you!
After the breakup that day, the pigtailed girl also realized that she was in too much of a hurry and forgot to ask the other party's name.
When I got home, it was very inconvenient to talk to my grandfather about today's events. So, she gave Shanhe a nickname without authorization - the big fool.
The reason is also very simple: the boy finally defeated the green-maned beast, but in the end he refused to kill it, and was almost killed by the demon beast. Such a person is not a big fool, and what is it?
When Qin Lao heard this title, his face immediately swelled with joy and gratitude, and he asked excitedly:
"Is this true?Xiaodou, you didn't lie to grandpa?"
The pigtailed girl confidently replied:
"Of course, it's him! I can't be mistaken!"
When the grandfather and grandson were talking, Lu Guozhong, who was sitting on the side, never said a word. From beginning to end, he just stared at the mountains and rivers with his surprised gaze.
Although he only learned about Qin Lao's injury today, he had heard about how the other party was injured and how he was rescued.
Therefore, after learning that Shanhe was the young man who defeated the blue-maned beast, Lu Guozhong was both surprised and grateful, plus a little incredible. After being silent for a long time, he asked Shanhe with a complicated look:
"You...... Are you a cultivator?"
If the director asks himself questions at work, the mountains and rivers will know everything and answer everything. But now, when it comes to spiritual practice, it's different.
Hearing this question, Shanhe did not rush to speak, but looked at the director, and at the same time used his not very easy brain to think hard.
How could Director Lu know about the cultivators?
Could it be that pigtails told him?
And who are the pigtails and her grandfather?
Why do they treat me the same way?
What's going on here? Should I admit it?
A number of questions popped up in his mind, but without waiting for mountains and rivers to think about it, he heard that the pigtails had already answered for him:
"Lu Bo, didn't you ask knowingly? Of course the big fool is a cultivator! Otherwise, how could he defeat the demon beast? You are also a cultivator, so you can't figure this out, right?"
After listening to the first half of the sentence, Shanhe didn't feel anything, but as soon as the second half of the sentence came out, he was stunned on the spot!
It turns out that his immediate boss Lu Guozhong is also a cultivator?
This news really surprised Shanhe, and he was shocked for several seconds before he came back to his senses.
Then, he immediately asked in his heart:
"Xiao Bang, is he really a cultivator, why haven't you seen it after getting along for so long?"
"Master, if it's a demon beast, I will definitely be able to get the other party's information within three kilometers. But this old man Lu is a human being, and the detection function is ineffective against him. Unless he used his true qi in front of him, I wouldn't be able to tell. ”
Hearing Xiao Bang say this, Shanhe remembered that the situation seemed to be true.
When he participated in the Bai family's birthday banquet before, it was also at the stage of the martial arts test that Xiao Bang obtained the cultivation information of Old Man Bai and Bai Shuai. Before that, she didn't know that there were cultivators in the Bai family.
"Oh, so you can't detect the depth of his cultivation now?"
"No, I can't see anything unless I force him to do it. ”
......
After seeing the expressions of Lu Guozhong and Shanhe, Qin Lao had already guessed that these two might not know each other's identities, so when he heard about this, he inevitably became suspicious.
But these two people, one is his old friend, and the other is a life-saving benefactor, this meal can't be eaten so embarrassingly, right?
So, he took the lead in easing the atmosphere and invited everyone to sit down for dinner and chat while eating!
After a few glasses of liquor, Lu Guozhong seemed to have forgotten about the mountains and rivers, and chatted happily with Qin Lao.
And the pigtail girl, Qin Xiaodou, has two big eyes that are bright and thieves, looking at the mountains and rivers, as if she wants to see something on his face.
But as a result, apart from being ordinary or ordinary, I can't see anything special.
Looking at the mountains and rivers again, when he first sat down, he seemed to be thinking about Lu Guozhong.
However, after only a few seconds, he couldn't resist the temptation of food, picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and tasted all the six dishes on the table in an instant.
I have to say, these dishes smell good and taste even better!
Every dish makes the mountains and rivers have a feeling of fragrant lips and teeth and endless aftertaste.
Those who can do this, in addition to Master Shanfeng, Qin Xiaodou is definitely the first person Shanhe has encountered!
Shanhe's master Shanfeng is not only strong in martial arts, but also quite amazing in cooking.
I remember when I was a child, every time the master cooked, I couldn't eat enough mountains, rivers and snow. Not only do you have to eat all the dishes, but you can't even lick the plates clean.
But it's a pity that since the master passed away, Shanhe has never eaten such a delicious meal.
Therefore, when he found out that there was someone in the world who could compete with the master's cooking skills, the first question that popped up in his mind was:
In the future, what reason should I find to come here to eat?
......
After three rounds of wine, Qin Lao made a special trip to toast Shanhe with a glass of wine to express his sincere gratitude!
But when he heard what "saved the lives of the two", Shanhe didn't know what it meant.
To say that he saved Qin Xiaodou, he can barely understand, but he has never seen this Qin Lao, so how can he say that he can save his life?
After questioning, I figured out the ins and outs of it.
It turned out that Qin Lao was a farmer and had a piece of farmland in the east of the city. On weekdays, he takes care of it alone, and his granddaughter only helps out when the farm is busy.
One day, he was working late in the fields, and on his way home, he unfortunately ran into the blue-maned beast.
Seeing that this monster was so tall, Qin Lao was so frightened that he hurriedly ran to the road.
However, how could the elderly Qin Lao outrun the powerful blue-maned beast? he was thrown to the ground by the other party in less than two steps, and his thigh was also bitten fiercely.
Fortunately, at that time, there were several trucks passing by on the main road, with headlights and horns, which scared the blue-maned beast away, and Qin Lao escaped by luck.
Knowing that the injury was not light, Qin Lao took a taxi directly to the hospital.
But the doctor looked at the wound, only bandaged Qin Lao briefly, injected him with tetanus, and made up a rabies vaccine, and then released him from the hospital, without even doing a blood routine.
Seeing this, Qin Lao also understood that this kind of thing would definitely be useless in the hospital, so he simply went home.
