Chapter 40 The Adventure in Xiangyang ([-])

"Hiss..." He Ergou sat up from the bed, and as soon as he opened his eyes, a strong dizziness filled He Ergou's brain.

"What kind of place is this..." He Ergou looked around, wondering if someone had kidnapped him after he passed out.

He Ergou looked around and preliminarily judged that it was a dilapidated small thatched cottage, and it still looked very familiar.

Suddenly, he found that Yue Wen was not in the room, "Could it be that Steward Yang sent someone to plot against us?" He Ergou was startled.

"Yue Wen, Yue Wen!" He Ergou hurriedly jumped to the ground, planning to go out to see if Yue Wen was nearby.

At this time, the door of the room opened, and a glare of sunlight shone into the dim space. He Ergou almost couldn't open his eyes, and could only see the flying dust in front of him shining in the light.

A black shadow appeared at the door, he stood in the light, He Ergou couldn't see his appearance at all, and asked vigilantly: "Who are you!"

The black shadow didn't respond, but put the object he touched on the table, turned around and closed the door.

The room suddenly returned to a dim environment, and He Ergou hadn't recovered his eyesight for a while.

I could only hear the figure from the back seeming to deliberately slow down, approaching step by step.

Regardless of whether he could see it, He Ergou hurriedly jumped back, and raised his voice and asked, "Who are you! Where am I?"

The footsteps stopped suddenly, and an old voice sounded: "What are you talking about?"

He Ergou couldn't help being startled when he heard the old voice, as if he understood something.

He widened his eyes fiercely, trying to see the appearance of the person who came—it was the father Xiao Long said lived behind Xiangyang City. Arrived at the small broken house.

He Ergou breathed a sigh of relief, and went up to meet the old man. When he got closer, he realized that what the old man was holding was a ladle of clear water.

The old man handed the water to He Ergou and sat down on the broken bed.

From the experience of speaking just now, it can be seen that the old man's ears are not very good. He Ergou raised his voice a few degrees, and asked again: "Old man! Why am I in your house! How long have I been lying here?"

When the old man heard He Ergou speak, he immediately tilted his head and put his ear to He Ergou's mouth.It wasn't until He Ergou finished speaking that he turned his head, looked at He Ergou, and said, "Hey, I was sleeping in the house and heard someone falling outside the door. I went out immediately and found you lying on the ground. , and there was a mute baby squatting next to you, babbling. I helped you into the house, and when I went out to see, the mute baby was gone. I talked about getting you a ladle of water from the well, but I didn’t expect that in such a moment, you Just wake up."

The old man finished speaking slowly, as if he had said too much at once, the old man suddenly began to cough violently.

"It seems that Xiao Long is really not lying..." He Ergou thought to himself, "Fortunately, I didn't sleep for too long..."

But after much deliberation, He Ergou was still worried.So he asked again: "Old man, do you know Xiao Long?"

"Xiao Long? I've never heard of it!" the old man waved his hand and said.

He Ergou's heart sank: "At first I thought that Xiao Long really had his own reasons, but it seems that he made them all up, he's just a villain."

"However, my surname is also Xiao!" The old man grinned as he said, "I also have a son named Xiao Dabao!"

The old man stood up with a happy smile, tried his best to stretch his rickety body, raised his hands high, and gestured vigorously: "My son is as high as this beam! He is very strong! Now he works as an errand in the city, he will be promising Mile!"

He Ergou was stunned for a moment, then asked again: "Old man, does your son tie his hair up on weekdays?"

"What wolf?" The old man's eyes widened, and he looked at He Ergou suspiciously.

He Ergou scratched his head in embarrassment. It seems that this old man seems to have little knowledge, which is different from the educated people of this era.

So, He Ergou changed his words: "Your son! Does your son tie his hair on weekdays?"

When this sentence was asked, the old man laughed and coughed, and He Ergou quickly patted the old man on the back.

After coughing for a while, the old man stopped, and clapped his hands vigorously with a smile on his face: "My son, he never grew his hair since he was a child! You say this...cough cough cough..."

The old man laughed and coughed violently again.

He Ergou looked at the old man coughing up and down, but when it came to his bald son Xiao Dabao, he still smiled so brightly that he turned his head away when his nose was sore.

"It seems that what Xiao Long said is true. His name is Xiao Dabao. He just came out to be a local snake, so he needs to change his name to a resident who can control the town. He has been lying to his family that he is working in the government. He is also worried about his father who is seriously ill. ..." For some reason, He Ergou felt a severe pain in his heart like being pricked by a needle.

"Sure enough, it's not easy for everyone..." He Ergou sighed with a wry smile.

Suddenly, He Ergou thought that in this era, a mere flu can become terminally ill, so why don't he show it to the old man?

"Although I also have a background in biological sciences, it is still possible to cure a small cold..." He Ergou remembered that when he was a child, he always had colds because of lung cold, and it was only by taking traditional Chinese medicine that he gradually recovered.Coupled with the poverty of the elderly, there must be a decline in immunity caused by malnutrition...

Thinking of this, He Ergou stood up and leaned close to the old man's ear so that he could hear clearly: "You wait for me here, I still have some things to do, I will be back before dark!"

"Hey, hey," the old man nodded, "my son came back before dark."

He Ergou smiled: "That's good, let's have dinner together tonight." After that, He Ergou got up and walked to the door.

"Hey!" As soon as He Ergou was about to go out, he heard the old man shouting anxiously. He Ergou smiled in his heart. The old man's family is so poor. If I said to stay for dinner, he would definitely refuse.

So, He Ergou turned around and explained to the old man: "Don't worry! I'm going to buy meat right now, tonight..."

But before He Ergou could finish speaking, the old man interrupted him and said, "You baby, you just woke up, drank the water and went out!"

He Ergou looked at the old man holding the ladle of water, and chased after a few steps anxiously, the remaining half of the sentence was stuck in his mouth, and he stood there blankly.After a while, he smiled and said, "Okay!"

After all, he took the ladle and drank the water in one go.
