"No, Auntie, let's do this. I'll go next door to have a look first, and I'll come back later."

Hearing what Fangyuan said, Lao Cao's lover glanced next door and whispered to Fangyuan: "It would be better for you to have less contact with him."

"Uh!" Fangyuan was stunned for a moment and asked: "Auntie, why is this?"

To be honest, Fangyuan really doesn’t understand why Lao Cao’s lover said that. According to Fangyuan’s observation, the old man next door really doesn’t like to deal with other people.

Lao Cao's lover whispered in Fangyuan's ear: "He is an eunuch."

"Eunuch?" Fangyuan was stunned for a moment, and soon understood what Lao Cao's wife meant by eunuch.

Eunuchs, to put it bluntly, are eunuchs. No wonder the old man is so inhumane and never even interacts with others.

Also, most of the people living around here are old people and young people, and the most despised thing among these old people and young people is probably eunuchs!

Because in their eyes, eunuchs are servants, and it is normal for these old people and young people to look down on them.

However, as a eunuch, the old man can actually live in the same place with these old people and young people. What does this mean? It means that although the old man is a eunuch, he should be the kind of eunuch with a high status.

And if the old man can live here without any problems, it means that these old and young people dare not mess with him. Otherwise, it is impossible for the old man to still live here after so many years.

To be honest, this made Fangyuan very interested in this old man.

"Yes, so you'd better have less contact with him. I'm doing this for your own good."

"Yes, yes, auntie, I understand, but he is also my client, so..."

"Yeah! I know, I just want you to have less contact with him."

"I understand, Auntie, don't worry."

"Okay, you go!"

"Okay." Fangyuan nodded, and then came to the car.

Lao Cao's lover shook his head, and then closed the door. Fangyuan pretended to open the back of the jeep, took out two chickens from inside, and then walked towards the door of the old man's house.

"Bah bang bang!" Fangyuan patted the door.

The door opened quickly, and the old man appeared at the door, looked at Fang Yuan and asked: "Is something wrong?"

"I'll give you two chickens."

Hearing what Fangyuan said, the old man frowned, because Fangyuan had just given it to him a few days ago.

Even so, the old man still said: "Wait."

After saying that, he was about to close the door. Fangyuan quickly said: "Old man, please wait."

"What else?"

"I'm waiting for someone, so can I go in and have a drink of water?"

Hearing what Fangyuan said, the old man showed displeasure on his face, looked in the direction of Lao Cao's house, and then said to Fangyuan: "Come in!"

Fangyuan has delivered meat to the old man at least a dozen times. This is the first time Fangyuan has entered this yard.

From the outside, this looks like an ordinary courtyard house, but after entering, Fang Yuan discovers that this is more than just an ordinary courtyard house.

Because this courtyard is very large, and this is just the first time you enter, Fangyuan can see that there are houses behind, but the old man doesn't seem to take him in, so Fangyuan doesn't know what's going on behind.

But even when you enter the front yard, it is much larger than Lao Cao's house.

The old man's yard is very big. Fangyuan always thought that the old man's gate was opened on the side, otherwise the courtyard wall would be so wide.

Only now do I realize that this is not the case at all. The door is open at the front.

The reason why the courtyard wall is wide is that there are nine houses in this row. You must know the number of nine houses. In the past, only people with high status could live there.

This had to make Fangyuan doubt Lao Cao's wife's words. How could a eunuch live in such a house?

Not only are there many houses here, but the yard is also very large, with three wing rooms on the east and west sides. In other words, when you first enter the yard, there are fifteen houses not counting the concierge.

You can imagine how big this yard is. The most important thing is that the old man’s house in this yard is larger than the old Cao’s house.

This is not talking about the number of rooms, but the area of ​​the rooms, let’s put it this way! One room in Lao Cao’s house is only about three meters wide.

As for the old man's house, one room is at least four meters wide, which is at least one meter wider than Lao Cao's house.

There are nine rooms, one of which is four meters tall, which is thirty-six meters long. This does not include the corridor leading into the backyard. If all are included, it would be at least forty-two meters long.

This refers to the width, as well as the depth of the front yard. One of the three wing rooms is also about four meters, and there is space at both ends of the three wing rooms.

To put it this way, from the eaves of the main house to the courtyard wall at the gate, it is at least sixteen meters.

Excluding the area occupied by the east and west wing rooms, the open space in the yard alone is more than 380 square meters.

This is just the open space in the yard. If you include the area of ​​the east and west wing rooms, excluding the main house, the area is more than 670 square meters.

In other words, the area of ​​this yard alone is more than one acre, which has to make Fangyuan sigh.

"Sit down!" the old man said, pointing to a stone table in the middle of the yard.

"Okay!"

Fangyuan put the two chickens on the ground, then entered a room and quickly came out with a teapot and two cups.

He placed one of the cups in front of Fangyuan, poured a cup for him, then poured a cup for himself, and then sat down as well.

"Thank you!" Fangyuan thanked her quickly and picked up the cup.

The old man didn't say anything. He picked up the cup and took a sip.

To be honest, Fangyuan is a little confused as to why the old man lives in the front yard. You should know that the owners of most houses live in the backyard.

Of course, Fangyuan would not ask such a boring question, and he didn't even know what to say.

"Hey! These are..." Fang Yuan put down the tea cup, and then walked to a pile of knives thrown casually on the ground.

The reason why Fangyuan has such a surprised expression is because this is a pile of Japanese swords.

This pile of Japanese knives was thrown casually next to a flower bed in the yard. It looked like it had been thrown away for a long time, and there was a thick layer of soil on it.

If it weren't for Fangyuan's sharp eyes, he wouldn't have been able to tell that it was an Oriental sword. In fact, it was mainly because he saw too many of them while watching TV series in his previous life.

When he saw Fangyuan walking over, the old man did not stop him or even react.

Fangyuan picked up one casually and pulled it out. Suddenly it was bright. Unexpectedly, the knife was not rusty.

"What a knife!" Fangyuan said in surprise.

Because this is indeed a good knife. According to the soil on it and the degree of corrosion of the scabbard, these knives have been here for at least ten years.

Wait! This is a golden knife handle. If Hu is not acting in the TV series, then this should be a sergeant knife.

Fangyuan rummaged through the pile of knives and found that basically all of them were Zuoguan knives. Only one was not, but this one was more powerful than the Zuoguan knives because the handle of this knife was made of jade.

According to the previous TV series, this is a general sword.

Fangyuan quickly picked up the knife, then pulled it out and looked at it. There were several words engraved on the bright blade, but it was a pity that Fangyuan didn't recognize them.

"Old man, are these the little devil's swords?" Fang Yuan looked at the old man and asked.

"Not bad! Any questions?"

"Uh!" Fangyuan was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "No problem, I just don't understand why these knives were thrown here?"

"Why don't you throw useless things away?"

"Okay!"

What else can Fangyuan say? In his opinion, these are all good things, but to the old man, these are just useless things.

Fangyuan threw the scabbard on the ground, grabbed the handle of the knife with both hands and waved it a few times. The knife was very heavy, at least for the current Fangyuan.

"Be careful."

Then Fangyuan heard a "clang", and the knife in his hand flew out and was stuck on the ground a few meters away.

Fangyuan looked back at the old man, and the old man just retracted his hand. In other words, when he was swinging wildly and almost hurt himself, he didn't know what the old man did, so he threw the knife in his hand.

.

And he used his hands, but unfortunately Fangyuan didn't see it because his back was to the old man.

"Thank you, old man!"

But the old man did not speak, but the careful words of the old man just now resolved the consequences of the knife injury. He knew that the old man had a cold face and a warm heart.

In other words, this is a disguise of the old man, deliberately pretending to be inhumane or indifferent.

Fangyuan went over to pick up the knife, put it into the scabbard, and threw it on the ground again. This time he walked to the stone table and sat down to drink tea.

But when Fangyuan looked at the old man again, his eyes were different.

"Old man, can you tell me what's going on with these knives?"

"I took care of a few little devils and got it back from them."

"Uh!" Fangyuan was stunned for a moment, then looked at the old man in shock.

If these are really the general's sword and the assistant's sword, then the little devils the old man killed were not ordinary little devils.

"Old man, do you know martial arts?"

The reason why Fangyuan asked this was well-founded. Not only did the old man save him just now, but also because if the little devils the old man killed were really generals and assistant officers, it would not be easy!

When are those people not surrounded by a group of people? If you want to kill them, you must first get rid of these people.

"Hey! You, a child, actually know martial arts?" the old man looked at Fang Yuan in surprise and asked.

If Fangyuan had said the word martial arts more than ten years later, probably no one would have said anything because there would have been television at that time.

We can even see things like Jingwu Sect. It can be said that both adults and children know what martial arts is, but it is different now.

People nowadays rarely come into contact with the word martial arts, even in books.

The old man's words made Fang Yuan's eyes light up. He hugged the old man and said, "Old man, please accept me as your disciple! I want to learn martial arts from you."

The old man glanced at Fangyuan, shook his head and said, "I don't know martial arts."
