its 284: old otaku
The old man who entered the house with Shan Shusheng and Lin Jiangxian was about 70 years old, with 90% white hair and white beard. He wears a linen coat, and his clothes are broken in many places. He looks a little like a beggar, but his clothes are shabby but clean, and he looks quite neat.
He is not fat or thin, and his figure is well maintained. He is not tall or short, between the sound of a single tree and You Liang. There are not many wrinkles on his face, but each one grows extremely deep.
The old man's eyes are good. As soon as he enters the room, his eyes sweep around and stay there for a short time. Cheng Xingxing felt that his eyes swept over him and turned to another place, but for some reason, he vaguely thought that this sweep had made the old man see himself clearly.
He felt that the old man's eyes were a little strange, but he couldn't tell where the strangeness was.
"Let me introduce, this is the master of our wonderful door, becoming a star." Shan Shusheng respectfully introduced the star to the old man, and then casually said to the star, "It's not easy for us to invite the old man. Be polite." Then he coughed and solemnly introduced the old man: "This is Mr. Tong Mengtong."
"What's that..." Cheng Ming thought the name was a little familiar. Thinking about it carefully, there was a man named Longmeng under the enemy Wu Zhao, which was a little homophonic to the old man's name. As soon as he grinned for joy, the single tree stared at him, which made him hurriedly and respectfully saluted the old man: "Good, Mr. Tong!"
Tong Meng looked at the star and nodded slowly without saying a word. Facing the expressionless expression, Cheng Xingxing had an indescribable awkward feeling in his heart. He grinned and smiled awkwardly.
Shan Shusheng introduced several girls in turn. Ma Xing cleverly introduced himself, but no matter who he faced, Tong Meng was with that expressionless expression. He nodded slowly and said nothing.
Several people can't help but think that this old man is really a little strange. Everyone was secretly worried when they thought that such a strange old man would be invited to the wonderful door and get along with themselves day and night.
"It's a great happy event to invite the old man back smoothly this time." Shan Shu said with a smile and took a sip of wine. I went to worship my ancestors, so I came back a little late..."
"Wait..." Cheng Xing thought something was wrong. When I first met him, Shan Shusheng came back from sacrificing his ancestors, which made him confused - Shan Shusheng did not admit that Shan Linhua was his father at that time. Which ancestor was this sacrifice?
"I went to worship my mother's grave." The sound of the single tree immediately saw his doubts, "That's my ancestor sacrifice. I... My father's grave is on our mountain, and we can see it every day. He took advantage of it."
"If you have time, move the old man's grave here." Cheng Xingxing said, " Wouldn't it be better to reunite the two old people?
The corners of the single tree's eyes were a little wet. He took another sip of wine and smiled: "Okay. That's what I plan to do." He took another sip and asked, "I heard that you hit the catch? Do you still ask the town guard to exempt the tax in the village?
"Ah." Cheng Xingxing nodded.
"You can't do it." Shan Shusheng shook his head, "The guard exempts the tax of this village, and naturally he will add the tax to other villages. More than a dozen villages under the rule of Xiaoyu Town are quite poor. If the burden is heavier, I'm afraid that the people of those villages can't bear it.
"Xiao Lan and Xiao Ya have already talked about me." Cheng Xingxing sighed, "But it's good that Xiaoya came up with a solution."
Then, Shu Xiaoya's idea was explained.
"Xiaoya, you are so awesome!" Lin Jiang couldn't help giving a thumbs up, and then praised Shu Xiaoya to death. Shan Shusheng hurriedly interrupted him and asked Shu Xiaoya, "It's a matter of manpower..."
"In less than a month, I can even build a poetry tower. What is a wood factory?" Shu Xiaoya smiled and said, "Deputy doormaster, I think our doorman is idle every day. There is nothing to do without a war. It's not a way. It's better to transfer a batch and use the soldiers to open this wooden factory, solve the economic problems in the door, and invigorate the local economy by the way, so that the people of Fenglai Village can also become rich. If it gets bigger in the future, it may take the economy of the whole Aiqu Mansion to a higher level and benefit the people of Aiqu.
"You have too many new words, but I can barely understand them." The single tree said with a smile. OK, just do as you say, my doorman's secretary.
"I said Xiaodan, let's hurry up and go. If we go back to your Longyin Mountain early, we can have dinner early." At this time, Tong Meng suddenly opened his mouth, and his expressionless expression suddenly became rich, turning him into a seemingly easy-going old man. This made the people who first met him feel very strange.
"Og, no problem!" Shan Shusheng smiled and asked the star, "How long will you stay?"
"Let's all go." Shu Xiaoya said, "Go back and prepare well. I plan to build this factory immediately."
"Sir, when you get back to the door, I'll make you two specialty dishes!" Lin Jiang first walked out and said to Tong Meng with a smile.
"That's good!" Tong Meng frowned and smiled, hugged Lin Jiangxian's shoulder, and said as he walked, "I haven't eaten it, and I have to drool as soon as I smell it. If you don't drool, you will lose."
"The old rule, if I lose, I will pay you two silver." Lin Jiang said first, "If you lose, teach me a beast language. Don't be naughty."
"Look at what you said, as if I'm always naughty." Tong Meng's eyes turned over, and his tone was like a child.
"Oh, are you less naughty?" Lin Jiang pointed to Tong Meng first, "You still owe me two beast words!" When to teach? Give me a letter, or you won't lie to me again!"
"No, don't!" Tong Meng was anxious and said with a hippie smile, "Don't worry, if I lose this time, I'll give it to you with this book and profit, and teach you five animal languages. How much do you think it's cost-effective?"
"It's almost the same." Lin Jiang muttered first.
The dialogue between the two surprised several people who met Tong Meng for the first time. Cheng Xingxing couldn't help thinking: What is this old man's temper? Sometimes it's like a professional killer, and sometimes it's like an old urchin. We are as ruthless as the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, and the warmth of spring to the single door master and Xiao Xian... We are not class enemies, and they are not revolutionary comrades...
"The old man's temper is actually not strange." Shan Shusheng came over and whispered in his ear, "Actually... how to put it, he is an introvert who is not good at dealing with strangers."
"What?" He became a star and was stunned.
Shu Xiaoya, who was beside him, also heard it and nodded slowly: "I see, it's an old otaku."
"What do you mean?" This time, the sound of a single tree was stunned. He was very helpless about the strange new words that always jumped out of Shu Xiaoya's mouth.
"That's what you mean." Shu Xiaoya said, "This old man should live alone in the deep mountains, right?"
"That's right." The single tree nodded.
"It's no wonder." Shu Xiaoya smiled and said, "This is really impossible to stay at home. I have no contact with the outside world. I am not good at socializing at all. I will be nervous when I see strangers. I don't know how to communicate and get along with them, but for familiar people, it is extremely natural. Such a person, when you are not familiar with him, you feel that he is an iceberg, and when you get acquainted with him, you will find that he is like a child.
"One set, it's really yours!" The single tree gave a thumbs up, "Don't say it, that's really the case. When you saw Xiao Xian for the first time, he also had a tense face, but now he is talking and laughing with Xiao Xian.
"I'm going..." Cheng Xingxing shook his head as he walked out. "Your nerves are as simple as dinosaurs, plus an old otaku with a stiff face every day... It's too lively in the wonderful door. I think I'd better follow what Xiaoya said. God can go quickly."
said goodbye to the villagers, leaving Ma Xing in the village, and Cheng Xingxing took everyone out of the village. The villagers saw each other off all the way, with a reluctance on their faces. The stars waved back and again several times, and their eyes were full of touching tears. This is the place where everything starts. I'm a little excited to become a star when I think that I can bring happiness here.
Although the two-horse cart is not small, it can't seat six people, which makes Cheng Xingxing a little worried, but the sound of the single tree is not serious. He arranged three girls to get on the carriage, and he sat in the driving seat and drove the car forward.
"What about the three of us?" Cheng Xingxing caught up, pointed to Lin Jiangxian and Tong Meng, and asked the sound of the single tree.
"Look at the forest in front of you." The sound of a single tree pointed to the dense forest not far ahead with a horse whip.
"Ah?" Cheng Xingxing squeezed his neck and didn't see anything.
"There is nothing..."
before he finished his words, the forest suddenly made a lot of noise. Five black horses with red spots ran out. Behind them, they were followed by a group of puppies with big ears, big eyes, small tails and short legs, barking, and their small bodies flew forward arched forward, which looked very cute.
Three big birds flew up from the forest, turned around and flew to the top of everyone's heads, circling in the air. Among them, the largest one is dark red, three meters long, and its wings are six or seven meters wide. In terms of characteristics, it is a big eagle; the other two smaller ones are all white, with long beaks and slender legs, like egrets.
The dark red eagle circled twice and fell down. Tong rushed over with a fierce smile, touched the eagle's neck first, then jumped up and waved to Lin Jiang first: "Come on, Xiaoxian, let's fly."
"Forget it!" Lin Jiangxian's face turned pale and waved his hand desperately: "I can't stand your flying method! I'm satisfied with seeing it once in my life. I'd better ride an iron horse!"
With that, he jumped on the back of a dark horse.
When he got closer, he became a star and saw clearly that the horse's whole body seemed to be made of iron, and the dark red spots on his body seemed to be rust, which shocked him: "Iron...iron horse? Is it really an iron horse?"
"Of course." Lin Jiangxian looked proud, "You haven't ridden it, have you? Do you want to ride? If you want to ride, beg me. I may let you ride as soon as I'm happy.
"You let me ride as soon as you were happy?" Cheng Xingxing looked at him sideways and asked angrily.
"Ah." Lin Jiang first nod his head proudly, but found that the sound of a single tree and the three girls in the car were laughing, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Forget it, I'm not interested in riding you." Cheng Xingxing curled his lips and asked Tong Meng, "Sir, can I ride it?"
As soon as he talked to Cheng Xingxing, Tong Meng's face tightened again and nodded slowly, as serious as the leader in the meeting.
"I..." At this time, Lin Jiang first reacted and grinned to demonstrate to the star. Cheng Xingxing ignored him and wanted to jump on a nearby iron horse.
"Old man, don't let him ride!" Lin Jiang shouted first, and Tong Meng immediately nod: "Okay!" The iron horse that Cheng Xingxing looked like moved two steps to the side, and Cheng Xingxing awkwardly fell to the place where he had just stood. It seemed that he was deliberately performing the flat frog jump.
"Xiao Xian, stop it!" Shu Xiaoya poked out her head and frowned. In a hurry!"
"Sir, let him ride it!" Lin Jiang was so scared that he stuck out his tongue.
"Hmm." Tong Meng suddenly answered, shook his hand, and moved the iron horse took the initiative to come to Cheng Ming. Cheng Xing star stared at it for a long time, and then reached out to pull the mane on its stomach and jumped on the horse's back.
Is this old man... an orcist? Cheng Xingxing looked at Tong Meng doubtfully. The old man had gently patted the big eagle on the back and rose to the sky in an eagle roar.
