Chapter 83: An Old Man in the Mountains
The deciduous side walked through the orchard with Timo, and before he knew it, he passed through the pear orchard, and in front of him was a garden full of red fluttering apples. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Teemo was more interested in apples, and before the fallen leaves could react, he flickered away, picking the best apple in sight and eating it.
One after another, seeing that Timo had eaten eight or nine apples, this time he scared the fallen leaves into a cold sweat, "It shouldn't be broken!"
I remember that when I didn't eat wild fruits, I didn't eat more than one a day, but today I have more than ten apples and pears!
Falling Leaves looked at Timo's little belly, still as usual, put down his hanging heart, and said secretly: "Monster, I don't know where these things are eaten." ”
At Timo's strong request, more than 200 apples were picked and put in the storage bag, all of which were in good condition, which directly occupied nearly half of the space.
Teemo had an apple in one of his arms, and sat on the shoulders of fallen leaves with a happy face, looking comical, as if two red fluttering balls had been placed on the sides of a ball.
Originally, Teemo wanted to stick two apples on his feet, but he just sniffed the smell of his feet and gave up, which was a black line on the face of the fallen leaves.
Fallen Leaf walked with a smiling Timo to the depths of the apple orchard, where there was a small thatched hut that seemed to be enough for a man to lie in.
"Anyone?" Fallen Leaf glanced at Teemo.
Timo shook the tip of his small nose, puzzled, and couldn't be sure if there was anyone inside. In normal times, when encountering a living person, Timo would shrink to the neck of the fallen leaves early and disappear without a trace.
Fallen leaves are worried, it seems that this is the temporary residence of the owner of the orchard, in order to take care of his own orchard, after all, stealing other people's fruits, there is guilt in his heart, it is not a pleasant thing to be accidentally caught.
Fallen leaves slowed down, tiptoeing around the inconspicuous thatched hut, but stepped on a dry branch and made a crisp sound.
At this time, an old voice came from inside the thatched house: "Who is outside, is there someone who wants to steal my fruit?"
Fallen Leaf's heart beat faster, and he stuck out his tongue, but he was still discovered.
Teemo was so frightened that his hair stood on end, as if he were facing a great enemy, and then he shrank into the neck of the fallen leaves, trembling as if he had completely forgotten that he had the ability to blur.
Fallen Leaf noticed Teemo's abnormality, but it just felt strange, all because it was afraid of seeing people, and did not think about it at a deeper level.
An old man walked out of the hut, and saw him hunched over, with silver hair and a sloppy beard hanging from his chin, like a sunset about to set.
Falling Leaves felt even more guilty in his heart, and secretly said that it was not easy for an old man of this age to guard his own orchard, and he picked so many fruits from him......
The old man touched the crutches at the door of the thatched hut, and walked into the fallen leaves step by step with calm steps.
Falling Leaf took a few steps forward, walked to the old man's side and saluted: "I don't know that the old man is the owner of this garden?"
The old man looked at the fallen leaves with his cloudy gaze: "The little doll is polite, you said that if this garden is not mine, I still need to live here and guard it?"
Falling leaves smiled awkwardly: "It's the kid who is abrupt." ”
The old man looked at the fallen leaves casually, and his eyes were fixed on Teemo, who was lying on his neck: "Little doll, let me ask you, that ...... Well, what kind of animal is that little thing, why haven't I seen it at such an old age?"
Fallen leaves replied: "Grandpa, this is what I accidentally found in a cave, and when I saw that this little guy was cute, I tried to get close, and then we got along well and became partners." ”
The old man thought for a moment, nodded to confirm that what Luo Ye said was basically true, and asked casually, "Where is your little doll?
Falling Leaves didn't know how to answer for a while, if the rhetoric against Lao Zhangtou was brought out, it would arouse his suspicions, and he had a whim: "I'm from that town." ”
"Oh......" said the old man, "it's not close to here, and you're naughty enough to come here with your family behind your back, and you're not afraid that your family will follow you in a hurry?"
When Luoye heard him say this, he breathed a sigh of relief, for fear that he would ask about his identity, and hurriedly said, "Grandpa, I picked some pears and apples just now. ”
The old man waved his hand: "It's not in the way, it's not a matter for pedestrians passing by to eat a few fruits from him when they're thirsty, do you think the fruits in my old man's round are delicious?"
"It's delicious!" said Fallen Leaves, "it's the best and most delicious I've ever seen, and it's growing so big." He gestured with his hand.
The old man smiled and said, "You have a good eye for the little doll, so you have picked the best of my old man's garden and eaten them." ”
The old man saw that the fallen leaves were flushed, and no longer teased him: "What will happen if the little doll comes into the house to talk with me? I have been in this forest for almost two months, and there is no one to chat with me." ”
Falling Leaf felt uncomfortable when he heard this, so he followed him into the thatched hut.
This one looked like it looked from the outside, and there was a wooden plank on it, and the plank was covered with a layer of hay, and on top of it was a quilt, which was only enough for the old man to be in it.
The old man straightened the futon with his dry hands, and when it was smooth, he said, "Come in and sit." ”
The old man took out a few ripe apples and put them on them, picked out the best one and handed it to the fallen leaves: "Eat, I'm old, and I'm too tired to pick some fruits, and I don't bother to bring them back from afar, these apples were picked from that tree." ”
The fallen leaves looked in the direction of the old man's finger, and saw that the apple tree was a little taller than the others, very thick and thick, and there was a huge hole in the trunk, as if it had rotten the core, just like the old man in front of him gave himself the feeling.
The fallen leaves had sour eyes, and they took the apple handed over by the old man.
This apple is not big, but it is very red and red, and the outer skin is very smooth, as if it has been beaten with a layer of wax, and the place where the palm touches it feels a little warm.
Falling Leaf didn't know that Timo had gotten rid of his nervousness, and looked at the apple curiously.
The old man picked up another apple and handed it to Teemo: "Little one, I see that you like these apples very much, if you can eat them, eat one too." ”
Timo looked at the apple and then at the old man, but without feeling the danger from the old man's body, he tentatively reached out and touched the apple in the old man's hand.
The old man laughed loudly, his voice was bold and uninhibited, and the atmosphere was fully revealed.
Teemo grabbed the apple, held it in his arms, looked at the old man again, and then gulped down.
