Chapter 20: The Mysterious Old Man


Among the six people in the office, two of them are civil servants, which Lu Linping didn't see at all, which further confirmed his fledgling identity, maybe one day he was played to death by a few of them, and he didn't know how he died!

The atmosphere in the car was a little dull, Lu Linping changed the topic and said with a smile: "Sister Hong, I'll tell you a joke!"

”Chen Hong showed slanted eyes, he didn't believe that Lu Linping could tell any funny jokes, the corners of his mouth raised and chuckled: "Tell it!"

”"There is a pair of boyfriend and girlfriend, one day the two broke up, and the woman said, you give me back my things!

The man was angry and said, "Then you give me back my things, and I will give you a blood transfusion; Hearing this, the woman did not show weakness, put her hand in her crotch, took out a mummy towel and threw it to him, and said: This is this month, and I will return it to you in installments every month in the future!

”This is not a funny joke, but it made Chen Hong laugh and said: "Xiao Lu, your jokes are all colorful, I like to listen to such meat jokes!"

”Seeing her laughing flowers and branches trembling and her flesh shaking, Lu Linping was also very happy, and came to a village while talking and laughing, parked the car at the head of the village, and the two walked to the village.There is a small forest at the head of the village, although at the end of summer, there are still many villagers here to enjoy the shade, Lu Linping went over to watch the two old men play chess, since he grew up in the countryside, he is very good at this kind of entertainment in the field, and he pointed a few times with itchy hands, and the old man who was not instructed stopped doing it, and said noisily: "Watching chess is silent and true gentleman, how can you break the rules of this child?"

”"Don't complain about other people's children, I originally wanted to go like this......!"

The old man who was helped got cheap and behaved, and spoke out to defend Lu Linping, but the old man was angry and left, Lu Linping stuck out his tongue at Chen Hong, and secretly said that he was in trouble!"

Child, you left the old stubbornness, you and I will have a game!"

The old man spoke."

Uncle, we still have something to do, come and play with you another day!"

Lu Linping thought that since he came today, he had to gain something, otherwise how would he explain to the leader when he went back, it was a momentary itch just now, and he was still in the mood to play chess to pass the time at this time!"

Child, as long as you accompany me well, I can help you in whatever we do!"

The old man was not happy, patting his chest to pack the ticket, Lu Linping was very embarrassed, he didn't want to disappoint the old man, and he couldn't play here with him."

Xiao Lu, you can play with the uncle!"

Chen Hong instigated, and kept winking at Lu Linping as he spoke, Lu Linping thought that he didn't have a clue anyway, so he gave up his life to accompany the gentleman to play here.This play is three hours, Lu Linping fell into the memories of childhood life, when the family was poor, playing chess is one of the few entertainment items, as long as there is time, do not need any investment, take stones on the ground to draw a chessboard, fold a few branches can play for half a day.Chen Hong stood next to her and never left, her legs were sore after standing for three hours, but the skirt she was wearing today was inconvenient for squatting, she didn't remind Lu Linping of the time from beginning to end, the two of them were inseparable, and at the moment of crisis, the old man's forehead was even covered with sweat!

Seeing the old man and the old lady in the grove walking home one by one to eat lunch, the old man's stomach also "growled", but he was reluctant to let Lu Linping be a chess friend, so he dragged his arm to the house, and said as he walked: "Follow me to eat lunch, and then kill a few games after eating!"

”"Uncle, I'm really in trouble, I'll come over to play with you for a day off another day!"

Lu Linping saw that the day was about to pass noon, and said with a bitter face, I didn't do anything when I came out today, I played chess for a long time, what is the matter?

I can't say anything to accompany the old man!"

Xiao Lu, I'm also hungry, it's time to eat lunch soon, you see that the uncle is so enthusiastic, and it's hard to be gracious, let's go to his house to eat!"

Chen Hong interjected, hearing her say this, Lu Linping realized that today's Chen Hong was weird and indescribable."

Then ......, uncle, ......, then bother you......!"

He saw that Chen Hong kept glaring at him, he didn't understand what it meant, so he could only do what she said, left the grove and walked into the village, only to find that there was a canal in front of every house in this village, the water in the canal was very fast and clear, and the village was surrounded by a circle of trees, and the scenery was good."

My old man is in love with the environment here, I was born here, I have lived here for more than 30 years, I am still reluctant to leave when I retire, and I am back, I will be buried in the mountains when I die!"

The old man was afraid that Lu Linping would leave, so that there would be no one to play with him in the afternoon, so he hurriedly said something to divert his attention.Hearing him mention the mountain, Lu Linping and Chen Hong glanced at each other, Lu Linping ignored Chen Hong's eyes to stop it, and said: "Uncle, it's a pity that such a good scenery of the mountain is used as a cemetery!"

”Hearing this, the old man's footsteps paused, looked at the two people in front of him, and said: "This mountain is full of memories of my childhood, herding cattle and sheep, cutting pigweed, digging birds' eggs, poking hornet's nests, since it was contracted by the government to individuals, it has become a cemetery......!"

”Talking and coming to the door of a house, the old man pushed open the door and let the two in, thinking that the woman in the apron came forward, fetched water and waited for the old man to wash his hands and eat, but the old man first circled around the vegetable garden in the courtyard, went in and pulled off two cucumbers, washed them in the canal at the door and handed them to Lu Linping and Chen Hong.Chen Hong, who originally loved cleanliness, took a big bite after taking it, Lu Linping looked at Chen Hong with puzzled eyes, he didn't understand why she was so strange today, he ate it himself, sweet and silky, cool, very delicious!"

The water at the door is the mountain spring water flowing down from the Miyu Mountain and Pingyang Mountain, and this is a health resort!"

The old man sat on the bench in front of the door and opened the chatterbox, and the woman who was preparing the meal next to him stood next to him and did not dare to say a word."

Don't look at me at 80 years old this year, I'm still young in this village, there are more than 10 centenarians in this village, and there are more than a dozen people over 90 years old, do you think I'm still very young?"

After speaking, the person twisted his beard and smiled, Lu Linping looked at Chen Hong in surprise, met his puzzled gaze, Chen Hong nodded and said, "This is a famous longevity village!"

”"The villagers all say that the feng shui of the mountain is good, and they are all, this is all the news that the kid from the mountain is put, just to let people go to the mountain to bury their relatives, he also charges more money, the people here live a long life, the most important thing is that the water is good!"

The old man just said that he would be buried in the Miyu Mountain after death, and now he said that longevity is not the reason for feng shui, but neither Lu Linping nor Chen Hong exposed him!

After saying this, the old man finally beckoned him to the table to eat, because he didn't know that there were guests, so the amount of food was very small, but the four dishes were barely enough for three people to eat, I don't know why, the longer Lu Linping was in contact with the old man, the more nervous he felt, and the old man always had a sense of deterrence, which made him feel very uncomfortable!
