Chapter 274: Selling Guanzi
At the top of the mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist, a mountain village, built against the mountain, is located in the mist, hidden and quiet. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
There are not many houses in the village, seven or eight groups, three or two rooms in each group, the time is at noon, the smoke rises and the mist merges together, there is a hole in the sky.
In the middle of the village, there is a single courtyard of three wooden houses, and the stone courtyard wall separates the outside world, and half of the mountains have withered, showing a picture of the northern winter scenery is different, the grass and trees in the small courtyard are flourishing, and the scene of a peach orchard in the world.
There is a stone tea table in the courtyard, four round drum stone stools, and there is a person sitting in the middle, with white hair, a small goatee, a casual dress of cloth clothes and trousers, holding a cup of freshly brewed tea, holding a plate of snacks in front of him, pinching his beard and tasting it carefully.
Beside him, a tall, thin man in his mid-thirties stood beside him, standing solemnly, his brow furrowed, as if he was thinking about something terrible.
"Drink tea and eat snacks, you can stay, and the rest, don't hang around in front of the old man, it's very eye-catching, you know? Go home for lunch, or leave me for a snack, choose one of the two!"
It was the old man with white hair who spoke, he took a sip of tea, took a square piece of snack from the plate, put it in his mouth, and tasted it carefully, completely ignoring the gaze of the person next to him.
"Old man, are you sure it's a wise decision to let Lao Zhu go? You know, he's so simple that he's stupid, maybe he'll sell me cleanly, and he thinks he's helping others. ā
"It's a good thing to help others, what do you have to worry about? I'm not in a hurry, what are you anxious about? No snake is cold-blooded and patient at all, it's really a failure. ā
After swallowing a snack, the old man poured himself another cup of tea, turned his head sideways, and his eyes were cold and murderous.
"I, aren't you afraid that your plans will fail......"
The young man was silent for a moment, still furrowing his eyebrows and turning his head, as if he did not want to leave like that.
"I'm going to fail? When have you ever seen me fail? Before you appeared, no, after you appeared, there won't be, go back, do nothing here, and don't eat, I'll throw you back to the stove and practice again!"
"Okay, I'll go...... Don't regret it then!"
As soon as the man turned around, he frowned and walked out, and in the courtyard, the old man was still sitting on the stone bench, drinking tea and talking to himself.
"Young people nowadays are really impatient! Even if they have been reformed, they can't even avoid it, this impetuous atmosphere! You say yes, old thing. ā
In an instant, in front of the old man, another person who was almost exactly the same as him was conjured, but the appearance was illusory, and it was not as real as him.
"Are you embarrassed to talk about others? I don't know who ...... when I was young."
After saying that, the phantom's hand reached for the snack on the table, and just as he was about to pick it up, the old man grabbed the plate and stood up.
"Stop! Always talk about young people, whether you eat snacks or not, I am full, if you don't eat, I will take them to plant flowers and plants. ā
Dusting his hands, the phantom still sat motionless.
"Heavenly Fortune, are you sure you want that milky Heavenly Fortune to open there? The three-year covenant is still more than two years, why are you in such a hurry. ā
"Didn't you say that time is running out, and he has come to the door himself, I can't hide for long, three years is enough for him to grow, and I also need a good opponent, right?"
The old man took a hoe from the door, looked at the empty land on the ground, ploughed a few times, turned over the soil, crushed the remaining snacks into powder one by one, and went down in one go.
"You are not afraid, this time, the heavenly fortune and the electric dragon condensed by the soul, the duel, you have seen it with your own eyes, he is a Hedan in the early stage, he is so powerful, not only the characteristics given by the system, but also the knife in his hand, that knife is extraordinary, even if you want to die, as your parasitic spirit, I don't want to be devoured as a part of the 'main body'." ā
After a pause, he continued.
"Anyway, you have to think about it for me, after all, I have served you for so many years, and even helped you absorb another ......"
"That's why I'm going to trouble him now, before he can get into trouble, before he can discover the secret of that knife, let him open that place, so that he can completely disappear without going through my hands. ā
Squatting on the ground and plowing the ground, the old man took out a handful of seeds from his pocket, picked out the fullest and ripe in them, and buried them gently.
"People say that spring is suitable for planting, and I prefer to let them break the ground and sprout in this early winter season, you call this a time against the sky, but you see my yard, compared to the almost bald trees and meadows on this mountain, is it unique, such as an outdoor peach orchard?"
"You opened that place, don't talk about him, can you get by yourself? He died in it, and you couldn't run far, you must know that the double-edged sword is always a two-sided injury." ā
"You know the difference between one foot and three inches better than me, don't you?"
After speaking, the old man put aside the hoe and personally piled the soil where the seeds were buried with his hands, with an expectant expression on his face.
......
The fog was thick, but fortunately there was no strange smell in the fog, and there was no need to cover your nose and mouth with cough.
Hao Chen walked all the way, calculating all the way, Lao Zhu led the way in front of him, and behind him was Shen Fu, this looked like a rhyming pattern of criminals, Hao Chen didn't care, but what he was curious about was something else.
For example, Shen Fu and Lao Zhu, these two people who looked down on each other, but were chosen by that person to lead them to "break" the formation.
Shen Fu loves to show off and swagger, but the time to find him is the second day when he settled in Huaibei Town, a set of rhetoric in the grilled fish shop, now that he thinks about it, it is too deliberately exaggerated, and the first time he looked at Hao Chen, there was also a hint of target confirmation.
Lao Zhu is sincere, he speaks straightforwardly, and he hides it so much that he may not even know that he is calculated, and it is a very small link in that person's entire plan.
"Lao Zhu, how long will this road take? I see that if I continue to walk, I am afraid that I will turn back to the same place and see those spirits. ā
It was not Hao Chen who asked, but Shen Fu, who had been behind and quietly all the way, making Hao Chen feel that he was a bit of an abnormal Shen Fu.
"Just walk, you don't know the way there, it's always far, you have to pass through the fog, how can you get there in three or five minutes. ā
"But this mountain is not so huge, a circle around the mountainside, with the speed of a few of us, will not take more than half an hour, now it is almost half an hour. ā
Hao Chen couldn't help but say too, the surroundings are not like the woods, no need to walk through, no need to dodge, flat except for the steepness of the hillside and the solid feeling of the land, fast is no different from the main road, and the more you walk, the wider and straighter the road, the hillside?
"It's okay to follow me, Lao Zhu won't admit the wrong way, I want to think about it, in another twenty minutes, we will be able to see the exit, and when the time comes, you will know what is going on, hehe." ā
