Chapter 207 Old Man Zhang
Yang Xiaodie is offline. Although she is still very excited, she has been online for a long time after all, and her real body can't bear it anymore. This shows from another perspective that the soul has a serious dependence on carriers before it is free.
After Yang Xiaodie walked for a long time, Luo Yu couldn't calm down. He was not as calm as he was. Yang Xiaodie was able to successfully complete the two steps of consecration and visualization for the first time, which greatly encouraged Luo Yu. This good news made him happy than his own attributes. For a while, he couldn't calm down. Now he really wanted to drink.
So Luo Yu simply left the inn and found a small shop on the side of the road to sit down. Although the shop was not big, there were still two tables of players drinking. Seeing them talking none while drinking, Luo Yu actually felt that he understood their feelings for the first time.
Sometimes, we really need to share our happiness and also need wine to be a medium. After all, we just want to find happiness and drive away loneliness.
Luo Yu sat alone on the table in the corner of the wall, drinking silently, but there was an unconcealed smile on the corner of her mouth.
"This little brother is in great interest. Do you know there are people here?"
When Luo Yu looked up, he couldn't help but feel a little amused. It turned out to be an old friend, Old Man Zhang.
"Meeting is fate, sit down."
Old Man Zhang nodded and sat on the stool opposite him. He waved his hand and the waiter ran over happily.
"What do you want to order?"
"Do you have old daughters?"
"The guest officer is an old drinker at first sight. He knows that only the authentic daughter Hong is in a small shop like ours. Please wait, I will take it for you now."
The waiter didn't ask how much wine Old Man Zhang wanted. Luo Yu was a little curious and stared at the waiter with a glass of wine. Then he looked at the ordinary Shaoxing yellow in the glass of wine, and couldn't help but feel ashamed.
"Wait, let's have two pounds of braised beef and a dish of salted peanuts."
"Okay, wait a moment, a jar of aged daughter red, two pounds of five-spice beef, and a plate of braised peanuts."
Luo Yu put down the wine glass he picked up. Old Man Zhang smiled when he saw this: "Jiangdu's daughter Hong is very famous. Moreover, the authentic aged daughter Hong is buried underground in small jars. It will not blend new wines and will not be sold separately."
Luo Yu suddenly realized that he was indeed a novice, but wine is traditionally like tea in China. They are all profound things. Some people say it is a culture, but Luo Yu is more willing to think it is a heritage.
"I've been taught, so I still have this particularity."
Old Man Zhang laughed: "It's not considered a matter of being particular, it's just a custom."
After a while, all the things Old Man Zhang called came up. Old Man Zhang poured himself a bowl of daughter Hong and signaled Luo Yu. Luo Yu drank the turbid wine in the cup in one sip, then reached out and handed the wine glass over.
"It's a fate to meet, I'll do it."
Old Man Zhang and Luo Yu touched each other. Then he drank a bowl of wine in one gulp. After a while, he let out a long sigh, and looked extremely satisfied on his face.
Luo Yu smiled secretly. He also had this kind of snack dishes that Liang Xiuer made for him, but he had a heartfelt expression. What about the old man opposite? Does he really have something like "feeling"?
“Is it delicious?”
Old Man Zhang was stunned and nodded, "Of course it's delicious. Authentic 18-year-old wine."
Although Luo Yu was a little curious about why it was eighteen years old, wasn’t wine calculated based on integers like ten or five years? Why was his daughter Hong an eighteen years old, not twenty or thirty years? However, Luo Yu was even more curious about Old Man Zhang.
Old man Zhang looked at Luo Yu who was looking at him playing tricks, and smiled slightly, "Why, do you think I can't really taste the wine?"
Luo Yu narrowed his eyes, and indeed Old Man Zhang had already recognized him.
"How did you recognize me? Could it be that you were following Xiaodie?"
Old Man Zhang nodded and shook his head: "It's not considered following, I just saw her with you by chance. You should have guessed that I'm in Jiangdu too."
"I remember Xiaodie said you were in Baling."
Old Man Zhang laughed dryly: "You can't help but be in the world."
"Haha, are you? Who is interfering in your actions? Didn't you say you are acting freely?"
Old Man Zhang poured himself a bowl of wine, but took it but did not drink it, but looked at the golden wine carefully.
"I used to like drinking my daughter Hong because I was from Jiangnan. My daughter Hong is more of a custom than a kind of wine. When a family gave birth to a daughter, a lot of rice wine would be buried in the yard. When the daughter got married, they would dig out the rice wine to celebrate with the guests and friends who attended the wedding banquet. Therefore, it would be wrong for the daughter Hong to have eighteen years old.
Luo Yu listened patiently, with an inexplicable meaning flashing in his eyes.
Old man Zhang raised the wine bowl and took a sip. This time he did not pour the wine pipe down, but was slowly savoring it, not knowing whether he was savoring the wine or savoring the memory.
"These are things in memory. I think that such a long time memory should be not just memories, but perhaps there are many things called touching and feeling, but unfortunately, there aren't."
Luo Yu nodded silently. Old Man Zhang's face was very calm. While losing his touch, he also lost his sadness. No matter what is good or bad, whether it is seven sufferings or seven joys, he is gone.
Luo Yu was also a little confused at this moment. Isn’t it a good thing that the seven sufferings disappeared? However, she will not suffer from birth, old age, sickness and death now. She seems to be very happy. Xiaodie is suffering from birth, old age, sickness and death. Luo Yu clearly felt her pain and the pain of the people around her.
In this way, it is a good thing to disappear if some sufferings disappear but it is not a good thing. Gains and losses must exist at the same time, and neither is missing.
Both of them were silent for a while. Luo Yu believed that Old Man Zhang would not be in a state of emotion and needed to calm down. He should be organizing language.
"I have relatives, I mean, really relatives."
"Well, I heard Xiaodie said it."
"She must have told me about my great granddaughter. She is a good child, but she is afraid of me."
Luo Yuxin said this kind of fear is not the kind you think.
"I know. She is actually afraid of disappointment."
Luo Yu looked at Old Man Zhang in surprise: "Do you know this too?"
Old Man Zhang smiled slightly: "What I lost is the feeling, not the IQ."
"Okay, I know you're smart, so what do you think of your granddaughter?"
"I don't know, logically speaking, she is my relative, and I should make her feel happy instead of fear. It's just that I can't achieve her wish. Of course, I still hope to achieve it subjectively."
Luo Yu seemed to understand something. Old man Zhang smiled and continued, "I found that maybe you are the only person who can make my great-granddaughter's wish come true."
Luo Yu was stunned: "No way? How could you come to such a conclusion?"
"It's just a possibility with a slightly higher probability, at least, it's more likely than other methods I can think of, right?"
Old man Zhang looked at Luo Yu playfully. He did not answer Luo Yu's question, but instead recognized his thoughts without refutation and sent Luo Yu a message that he would not give up easily.
Luo Yu understood that this was also the reason why Old Man Zhang broke his promise and quietly followed Yang Xiaodie to Jiangdu. As for what happened to be seen, it was obviously a lie. Or a word of concealment, Luo Yu discovered that NPC lying was more deceptive. Although Luo Yu had known that NPC would lie for a long time, and often lie.
Luo Yu blinked: "Didn't your idea come true recently?"
Old man Zhang raised the wine bowl: "Of course, it's been a long time."
Luo Yu smiled bitterly and shook her head: "If Xiaodie knew that you had been lying to her, she would be very sad."
"No, as long as I tell her the reason for doing this, she will forgive me. She is a kind child, I knew it long ago. Otherwise, I wouldn't be with her."
Luo Yu smiled bitterly again: "You have seen Xiaodie through it, but how can I believe that everything you say is true now? Since you can tell a lie once, you can tell countless times, right?"
Old Man Zhang actually nodded in agreement: "No, but, have you seen what I did to hurt you?"
Luo Yu thought for a while: "It's really not."
Old Man Zhang continued with a serious expression: "Not only did not hurt you, but in fact, I have been helping you, otherwise, do you think Xiaodie can always get rid of those tails easily?"
Luo Yu smiled: "You have also taught me martial arts."
Old Man Zhang said: "The key is that you have a high level of understanding. If you met you in the real world before, you will definitely accept you as your disciple. The most important thing in martial arts practice is to understand and resilience, and you have no shortage of both."
Luo Yu smiled and drank the wine in the wine glass in one sip. The wine is sticky and tasted a bit sweet and bitter, without spicy taste. But to be honest, Luo Yu doesn't like this soft texture, he prefers the straightforward feeling of burning a knife.
"I should be honored to say so?"
"That's not necessary. Your strength must be spoken by the fist. You can't be famous all over the world if I value you."
Luo Yu nodded: "Yes, when it comes to martial arts, I wonder if Mr. Zhang has time. How can we go to the martial arts field to practice?"
"So, did you agree?"
Luo Yu smiled bitterly: "Can I not agree?"
Old man Zhang laughed and raised his wine bowl to drink. Luo Yu poured himself a glass of wine: "I still like this."
Old Man Zhang smiled and said, "Everyone has their own preferences, come and cooperate happily."
“Happy cooperation.”
The two of them had a good meal of wine, then took advantage of the excitement of drinking to go to the martial arts training ground and opened a double training space. In the space where the two entered, Luo Yu moved his joints and muscles a little, and Old Man Zhang just slowly walked back and forth on the other side.
"I know you are for Xiaodie. Don't worry, I won't let Xiaodie down."
Old man Zhang suddenly said something. Luo Yu was stunned for a moment, and shook his head with a smile and said, "You are wrong. I am for your great-granddaughter, and Xiaodie likes her very much."
"Haha, so, come on, see how much you have improved."
Luo Yu took a trap and said with a smile: "Then you have to be careful. I have made great progress recently." (To be continued)
