Chapter 70: The Old Man
When the man in black came to the opposite side, he found that Yang Cheng had more pots and pans in front of him, kitchen knives pressed on the board, etc., her eyes showed surprise and puzzlement, she remembered that Yang Cheng and Yu Jia were empty-handed, and they didn't take any bags or anything else.
The man in black secretly wondered in her heart: Does he have any invisible backpack? Just as she was secretly thinking, a scene that made her jaw drop appeared in her eyes.
I saw Yang Cheng stretch out a finger and lightly touch the pile of firewood placed opposite him, and then a fireball suddenly flew down from Yang Cheng's fingertips on the firewood, instantly igniting the firewood in front of him.
The man in black looked at Yang Cheng, his eyes were full of disbelief and incredulity, and the cherry mouth she hid under the mask was also slightly open, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the expression of the man in black as a dumb chicken now.
Yu Jia walked over and saw that the man in black was looking in Yang Cheng's direction blankly, she also followed the gaze of the man in black and found that Yang Cheng was boiling water for cooking.
Yu Jia came to the man in black, patted the man in black on the shoulder, and asked with a smile: "Sister, are you hungry?
The man in black was slapped by Yu Jia like this, and suddenly came back to his senses, and before he knew it, he was already in a cold sweat, as a killer and an assassin, she didn't even know that someone was close to her, but fortunately it was Yu Jia, if it was an enemy or someone else, then wouldn't she even know how to die, it is conceivable that Yang Cheng's fireball technique brought a lot of shock to the heart of the man in black.
And Yang Cheng, who was immersed in cooking, naturally didn't know that a casual fireball technique would bring such a big shock to the heart of the man in black.
"No, I have this. After the man in black who came back to her senses heard Yu Jia's question, she raised the five-step snake she was holding in her hand to Yu Jia.
Yu Jia saw the man in black shaking the dead snake in front of her, she took a step back slightly, and barely squeezed out a smile on her face and said to the man in black: "Sister, throw it away, let's go over and eat." ”
The man in black shook his head slightly and said, "No, you can eat it yourself." After she finished speaking, she wanted to turn away from Yang Cheng and Yu Jia's sight, and solve the five-step snake in her hand by herself.
"Wait, it's not good to eat snakes raw, this is for you. ”
Yang Cheng threw a lighter from a distance, and then heard him say again: "Be careful, don't cause a forest fire." ”
The man in black reached out and caught the lighter that was shooting at her, and then she burrowed into the forest without looking back.
Yu Jia looked at the back of the man in black, and just wanted to open his mouth to stop the man in black, Yang Cheng walked over, took her hand and said, "Silly girl, she is a person who likes to be alone, forget it." ”
Yu Jia nodded slightly and said, "Got it, Brother Yang Cheng." Her tone was a little low, because Yujia found that the longer she spent with the man in black, the more intimate she felt in her heart, and even she didn't know why.
Yang Cheng stretched out his hand and pulled Yu Jia's ponytail, and said with a smile: "Little girl, it is not a day's work to make a lone person change. ”
When Yu Jia heard Yang Cheng's words, she nodded and said, "Well, Yu Jia understands, let's go, Brother Yang Cheng, let's go eat, we have to hurry after eating!"
Yang Cheng smiled and nodded, then took Yu Jia's hand and turned back to the place where he was cooking.
Yanjing, in the suburbs, in a quiet courtyard house.
An old man with a thin face and a ruddy face was sitting on a mahogany chair under a banyan tree, leaning on the back of the chair, his eyes closing lightly, as if he were asleep.
A woman in a women's suit, looking to be in her forties, with a pair of glasses on her face, was walking step by step to the old man under the banyan tree, her steps were very light, as if she was afraid of alarming the old man sitting on the Taishi's chair.
Soon the woman came to the old man's side, she looked at the old man with her eyes closed, and called softly, "Old chief, old chief." ”
"What's wrong? Xiao Zhao. A slightly old but neutral voice came from the old man's mouth.
"Chief, Yifan is here. The woman said.
"Oh?!, that stinky boy is here?" the old man's tone was slightly happy, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Well, let's see if you want to see it. The woman asked.
The old man just wanted to nod his head in agreement, but he seemed to remember something, so he pretended to be angry and said: "Hmph, no, that stinky boy, when something happens, he remembers me as a bad old man, and he doesn't even make a phone call when he is fine, hmph, no!"
Seeing that the old man had become petty, the woman asked with a faint smile on the corner of her lips, "You really don't see it?"
"Hmph, since you're here, you can't let that stinky boy go like this, let him in. As he spoke, the old man slowly opened his eyes.
The old man's eyes, the first feeling is vicissitudes and calm, this calm gaze is as if a person has experienced the changes of the world and returned to the flat, and it seems to see through the world of a kind of indifference.
"Yes, old chief. When the woman heard the old man's words, she took a step back slightly before turning to leave.
The old man looked at the woman's back, smiled and shook his head.
After a while, the woman led a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy with a grim face into the procession.
"Old man. ”
The young man came to the old man and called out very respectfully.
The old man glared at the young man when he heard this, and said angrily, "I said you stinky boy, can't you call me grandpa?" he said as he sat up and looked for the crutches standing beside him.
It's just that the old man looked at his side but didn't find his crutches, so he had to give up stupidly, he glanced at the young man and hummed: "Hmph, count you kid lucky, the old man, my other leg is not there, otherwise see how I clean you up." ”
The young man secretly cast a grateful glance at the woman next to him.
The woman smiled and turned away.
And this scene was all seen by the old man, but he did not expose the two, but asked the young man: "Xiaofan, why did you come to see me, a bad old man, today?"
After the young man heard the old man's question, he didn't say much nonsense and flattered the old man, and the young man said directly to the old man: "Old man, I want to be a soldier." ”
When the old man heard the young man's words, his eyelids raised and said, "You want to be a soldier, that's your business, why did you come to me, a bad old man?"
The young man smiled bitterly: "Old man, my mother and my father disagree. ”
"So you're going to come to me, old man, to help you intercede?" the old man said.
The boy nodded slightly.
"Then let me ask you why you are a soldier? With the power of our Xu family, it will be a broad road to engage in business or politics in the future, why did you choose to be a soldier? After the old man finished speaking, he opened his eyes and calmly looked at the tall young man standing opposite.
The young man did not avoid the old man's eyes, but met the old man's eyes, his tone was calm, and his voice was low and powerful: "My Huaxia Kingdom is one of the four ancient civilizations, with a history of more than 5,000 years, and once ranked first among the world's powers, but now.....?
The young man said that there was a trace of indignation in his eyes, only to hear him say again: "Some countries, for the sake of the so-called hegemony, manipulate the surrounding countries to contain our Huaxia, and don't want me to rise in China, as a Chinese, as a member of the Xu family, shouldn't I contribute to the rise of Huaxia?"
After the old man heard what the young man said, he asked lightly: "There are many ways to contribute to the Huaxia country, such as becoming a big yuan, or becoming an excellent entrepreneur can also help the country." ”
The young man shook his head slightly and replied: "I can't stand the hypocrisy and wrongdoing of officialdom, I can't stand the deception in the shopping mall, and I don't want to rely on the power of the family." ”
After listening to the young man's words, the old man shook his head lightly and said to the young man: "Officials and businessmen are now the foundation of stabilizing the country. After speaking, he waved his hand to the young man and said, "You go back first, I'm a little tired." ”
After the old man said this, he fell backwards, leaned back on the Taishi's chair and continued to sleep
The boy didn't get the support of his grandfather, and a faint disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.
The young man took a step back, turned around and walked towards the door of the courtyard house step by step, and just as he was about to step out of the door, the voice of the old man sounded behind him.
I only heard the old man say: "I will call your father tomorrow, but I don't want others to know that you are a member of my Xu family before you have achieved certain results." ”
After the young man heard the old man's words, his heart was slightly happy, and he said to the old man without looking back: "Got it, grandpa!" After speaking, the young man stepped out of the door and left the courtyard.
"This stinky boy. ”
When the old man heard the young man's words, he scolded with a smile.....
