"Brother Tian, who is the gentleman you are talking about? I heard someone mention it at my aunt's place this morning." Ergou sat on the table, holding chopsticks in one hand and a rice bowl in the other, and after speaking, he took two more bites.
meal.
Li Tian smiled slightly and pointed at it with his chopsticks, "Sir, he is the most knowledgeable person in the village. I heard that he traveled all over the country when he was young. He saw Kunpeng soar up to 90,000 miles, and saw a peerless strong man.
Jian Guanghan Jiuzhou. Tsk tsk, that vision. Finally, he came to our village because of his eye disease. He and my grandpa were close friends. When my grandpa was here, he would often go to him for drinks and games of chess.
Now, in my free time, sir, I go down to the overpass at the intersection and tell stories about the anecdotes I have seen in the past, so as to earn some money to live by."
"So that's it, I thought he was your teacher." Ergou nodded.
"Speaking of this, I'm also curious about something." Li Tian asked casually while eating the food.
"Say, Brother Tian." Ergou replied.
"You said you are only that old, let's just say you are a few months old. How do you...know so many things?" Li Tian said slowly.
Ergou's expression visibly froze for a moment, but quickly recovered.
"Brother Tian, you humans have teachers, but we beast cultivators don't, hahaha, that's what you're asking."
Li Tian glanced at him, nodded, and didn't ask any more questions.
After finishing the meal in a hurry, Ergou cleared away the dishes.
"Sir, there should be nothing wrong at this point. Ergouzi, let's go." Li Tian stood at the door and waved his hand.
Ergou threw his Baobao brand apron onto the stove and roared out...
"My husband is old, don't scare him." In Li Tian's impression, his husband was very old when he was very young, and now he is at least eighty years old.
"Don't worry, I know what I know." Ergou raised his head.
There are only a few people on this road, most of them are probably having lunch at home.
It's almost May, and the sun is extremely bright at noon.
Not long after, a person and a dog came to a house. A simple wooden house was surrounded by a fence. In the yard were pots of flowers arranged in an orderly manner. It was obvious that the owner of the house was a tidy person.
.
There is a big tree in the corner of the yard, and a white-haired old man is lying on a lounge chair with a cattail leaf fan and squinting, feeling very comfortable.
Li Tianergou walked to the fence and was about to say hello, when he heard the sir's voice from inside.
"Come in." The gentleman inside gently shook the cattail leaf fan, bringing a bit of coolness under the scorching sun in May.
When Li Tian heard this, he opened the door and entered.
"I also brought a kid with me," the husband continued.
Li Tian walked in and saw his husband sitting up with a smile on his face.
"Sir, I'm here to see you." Although the gentleman couldn't see it, Li Tian still bowed politely.
"You came to see me. You don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, haha." The gentleman opened his closed eyes, revealing a pair of pale eyes. "What is the name of this four-legged child?"
As he spoke, the gentleman turned to look at Ergou.
Ergou looked at Li Tian in confusion, feeling that the blind old man could actually see it.
Ergou stood up and said, "Hello, sir, my name is Ergou." After saying that, Ergou bowed.
"Hello, kid." The gentleman smiled very happily. "It's been a long time since I met Xiu Beast."
"By the way, I haven't greeted you yet. Haha, I'm old. Come in and sit down." The gentleman waved quickly.
Li Tian walked over and sat on the stone bench nearby. The stone bench and stone table were originally used for drinking tea and playing chess. There were also
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Engraved with chess records, his grandfather often drank tea and played chess here with the blind gentleman.
"Sir, we actually came here to ask about the training academy in Lingtian City. I want to practice." Li Tian directly stated his intention after sitting down.
"Haha, let me tell you, you kid doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Sure enough, you're not just here to see the old man." The gentleman joked.
"Of course I just came to see you, and I just wanted to ask some questions. I also told Ergou about your deeds today, right, Ergou." Li Tian winked at Ergou.
"That's right, that's right. It will soar up to ninety thousand miles, and one sword will light up nineteen continents, right, Brother Tian." Ergou agreed.
The gentleman reached out and patted Li Tian's thigh and sneered, "You little naughty boy."
The gentleman turned his head and lay down on the recliner, his cattail leaf fan swaying again, and continued, "Lingyun City is one of the two major cities in the Mao'er Continent. The Mao'er Continent stretches for hundreds of thousands of miles, and Mao'er Mountain accounts for about half of it."
, the other two main cities occupy the rest of the positions. Our place is actually the boundary of Lingtian. There are two universities in Lingyun City. They start recruiting students in May every year. As long as they are talented enough, they can enroll. They recruit talents from all over the mainland.
"Speaking of this, the gentleman paused for a moment, and then continued, "You may be able to catch up if you hurry up, but I'm afraid it will be too late..." As he said this, the gentleman patted Li Tian's thigh again.
Li Tianyi thought, "Then I don't want to set off right away. It will take at least a week to get to Lingtian City from here. It's not in vain that I missed it."
"Go, go, pack up, come and see the old man when you have time later." The gentleman waved the hand holding the cattail leaf fan and gave the order to expel the guests.
Li Tian stood up and bowed to Sir, "Sir, let's go back first."
Ergou followed suit and bowed, "Goodbye, sir."
The gentleman didn't say anything. He waved twice again with the hand holding the cattail leaf fan, which was regarded as saying hello.
When Li Tian and Ergou walked away, the husband stopped shaking the cattail leaf fan and murmured to himself, "We are as high-spirited as we used to be. Haha, it is really the age of young people now..." As if he has experienced the changes of the times, his figure has disappeared.
Looking lonely...
"Brother Tian, when will we set off?" Ergou asked on the way back.
"Go back and pack up. We'll set off tomorrow. Otherwise, I won't be able to catch up. I'll go to my uncle's and aunt's house later to say hello. They will definitely be reluctant to leave me when I leave," Li Tian replied.
Unexpectedly, time was so tight. Li Tian was not prepared and was somewhat in a hurry.
When one and the dog return home, one picks vegetables and melons, and the other sorts clothes and collects mats. The division of labor is clear.
Li Tian opened the small compartment of the bedside drawer and carefully took out a small red cloth bag.
Li Tian sighed and shook his head, "Oh~, it's been years of savings."
Inside the little red cloth bag was the money he had saved over the years, plus the savings his grandfather left for him before he left.
When you open the little red cloth bag, there are dozens of silver coins inside. One copper coin can buy a bun, and one silver coin can be exchanged for a hundred copper coins.
Li Tian put the small red cloth bag away and put it into the compass.
Ergou has almost picked vegetables, and these are all going to be given to the neighbors who have taken care of him for many years.
"Let's go, Ergou." Li Tian held two baskets full of vegetables in his hands.
Li Tian walked through the streets with his two dogs, giving them two green vegetables here and two cucumbers there, saying goodbye to each other.
The last person he came to was Aunt Wang's house. He stood at the door with two cucumbers in his hands, not daring to knock on the door for a while.
Aunt Wang's full name is Wang Cuilan, which is a very tacky name. She lost her husband early and has no children. She has been alone for so many years. She gets up early every day and sells steamed buns until late at night. She has never found another home.
After his grandfather left, Aunt Wang took special care of him.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
He treats it like his own child.
Now that he is leaving, she must be the saddest person.
In the end, he mustered up the courage. After all, reality is in front of him and he always has to face it. It is not his style to leave without saying goodbye.
Dong Dong Dong, Li Tian knocked on Aunt Wang's door.
Not long after, the door opened, and Aunt Wang was a little surprised when she looked at Li Tian holding two cucumbers at the door, and Ergou, who was smiling ugly.
"You brat, why are you here? Come in, come in." Aunt Wang waved for them to come in quickly.
"Hey, Auntie, look at the big treasure I brought you." Li Tian raised his hand and shook the cucumber in his hand.
Aunt Wang's old face turned red, she raised her hand like a backhand, reached out to take the cucumber in his hand, and rolled her eyes at him. "It's not formal."
"Since you are here today, I will keep this for dinner no matter what. If you don't eat, I will break your legs." Aunt Wang said with a smile and a "gentle" tone.
"Hey, I came here today just to have some food." Li Tian responded.
"That's right." Aunt Wang showed a happy smile on her face.
Then they chatted about family affairs, and Ergou boasted.
Li Tian never talked about leaving. He knew that if he did say it now, Aunt Wang would be sad.
"Come on, let's go to the street and see what you want to eat today. Auntie will cook it for you." Auntie Wang knew she was going out, so she dressed up specially, tied up her long hair in a bun, and wore a blue
Floral skirt, Aunt Wang is particularly happy today.
Li Tian suddenly regretted not spending more time with this woman who regarded him as her son.
Aunt Wang held Li Tian in her left hand and held a vegetable basket in her right hand, walking through the lively market.
"Oh, Cuilan, you are dressed so beautifully today because you are going on a blind date." The uncle selling fish teased Aunt Wang, which made Aunt Wang roll her eyes.
"Today I brought our little Tian to buy groceries. Of course I had to dress up nicely and not embarrass him. It's a rare occasion to come to our house for a meal." Aunt Wang said with a smile.
"Uncle, please stop teasing my aunt. I have seen all the people in the village, who is worthy of my aunt," Li Tian joked.
Aunt Wang patted him gently, glanced at him, and signaled to stop laughing at her.
Li Tian grinned and didn't care at all.
Ergou is like a salted fish, secretly following behind his butt without saying a word. The key is that he can't get a word in.
After buying fish, I bought a roast duck, and then I had to buy meat.
"That's enough, Auntie, how can we eat so much? Don't waste money." Li Tiansheng tried hard to prevent her from buying more.
"It's okay. You are all growing up. Eat more. If you can't finish it, I can save it for the next two days so it won't be wasted." Aunt Wang patted his hand.
"No need, that's enough, let's go back." Li Tian continued. As he spoke, he pulled Aunt Wang back.
"Okay, okay." Aunt Wang compromised and walked back with him.
The two of them walked and chatted, "Look at you, every time I come here you buy so much that the basket can't even fit in. How pitiful the two dogs are." Li Tian complained.
The two dogs held a big radish in one paw, a big cabbage in the other, and a vegetable basket in their mouths. When they heard what they were talking about, they raised their heads and smiled bitterly at them.
Can you be a human? He is such a big man and he is not allowed to take it. Let me take it, Ergou said in disbelief.
"Oh, I understand. I'm afraid you won't have enough to eat. I'll buy less next time." Aunt Wang responded superficially.
I know I'm wrong, but I still dare. This is Aunt Wang's true psychological activity.
