Chapter 833: The Strange Old Man
The two walked behind the tree and saw that it was a very small old dwarf.
The old man was sitting behind the tree and holding a fishing rod, but the other end of the fishing rod was not the lake water, but a wooden barrel.
"You are..."
"Are you blind? I'm fishing, and you can't see such obvious things."
The old man's sharp tone was very unpleasant, which happened to be in inverse contrast to his cute dwarf old man image.
"Master...are you fishing here?" Lin Yi looked at the scene in front of him with different expressions.
Today, I can see all kinds of strange things. First, Mr. Luo Shan led a lot of people to dance in the square, and now I saw such a strange old man fishing for fish in a bucket. It really is a world full of wonders.
"Shh, be careful, my fish is about to be scared away by you." The old man made a booing motion.
Lin Yi couldn't help lowering her voice, and even her pace slowed down a lot.
Lu Chen watched the old man fishing with great interest, as if the old man was really fishing for fish in the sea.
Although Lin Yi didn't know what was going on, she didn't make a sound and looked curiously.
Not long after, some strange sounds came from the bucket, like the muffled sound of fish hitting the wall of the bucket, which made Lin Yi involuntarily surprised.
She looked at the old man suspiciously, "You seem to be hooked."
"Shh, don't talk, you will scare my fish away."
Lin Yi quickly closed her mouth obediently, watching curiously as the old man struggled to catch the fish, and actually caught a big fish that was as long as an adult's arm.
Lin Yi was once again astonished beyond measure. Can such a small bucket really hold such a big fish?
Things are getting weirder and weirder.
"Huh, I finally caught it." The old man let out a long sigh of relief, as if the burden on his body finally disappeared.
"Now I can finally have a big meal, haha..." The old man laughed loudly, this scene was a bit weird.
Lu Chen tugged at Lin Yi's arm and winked silently.
He pulled her and walked towards the wooden barrel. At this moment, this wooden barrel was like a memory in Lin Yi's eyes, as if any strange things could happen in it, such a big fish actually caught out of the wooden barrel Yes, it's unbelievable.
"Hey, what are you two doing?"
Suddenly the old man's old and sharp voice came from behind, "If you take another step forward, you will fall down. Believe me, I didn't lie to you."
Lu Chen squatted down, observed the ground carefully, tapped his fingers lightly on the ground, and then showed a smile, "This underground is a pond."
Lin Yi looked at him in astonishment, and followed Lu Chen's example and knelt down to observe.
Looking carefully, the soil on this piece of ground was exceptionally wet, as if it had just rained. Pressing down lightly with your fingers, the piece of soil immediately sank.
"There is a problem with this ground!"
Lin Yi cried out in shock.
Lu Chen smiled softly, "There is a pond under this ground, a man-made pond, and the wooden barrel placed on it is probably just for fun, old man, you really have a childlike innocence."
The old man curled his lips, "You really discovered it, it seems that I didn't hide it deep enough."
He threw the fish casually into the grass, and soon, Lin Yi heard a rustling sound from the grass, such a strange sound made Lin Yi frown slightly, suddenly, Lu Chen gently scratched her palm After a while, Lin Yi looked up in doubt.
"Someone is serving the old gentleman."
Serving?
The word is used very delicately.
Lin Yi stared at the grass over there, and vaguely saw a corner of her clothes.
"You mean, is there anyone in there?"
"There must be someone."
At this time, the fish that was thrown on the ground by the old man just now had disappeared. If you look carefully, you can still vaguely see a water mark left on the ground.
"Why did you two come here? This place is for us old men, not for you two young people."
The old man's high-pitched voice was finally much normal now, Lin Yi could feel that this old man was unusual.
No, to be precise, since she saw the old man, the old man has never been normal at all.
"The two of us... came here to meet someone." Lin Yi said cautiously.
"Meet someone? Besides seeing us bad old men, who else can you meet when you come here?"
Having said that, the old man's voice paused, and then he looked at the two meaningfully.
"However, this place is indeed a good place for you young people to date, you shouldn't lie."
An anxious look flashed in Lin Yi's eyes, "We are indeed here to see an old man."
At this time, Lu Chen gently pulled Lin Yi's hand, and strode forward to protect Lin Yi behind him, "Old gentleman, I think the person we are going to meet probably has something to do with you."
"Oh?"
The old man looked at Lu Chen with some surprise, "Your words are quite meaningful, what does it have to do with me? I don't want to see a pair of mandarin ducks in this kind of place."
"Mr. Luoshan."
Lu Chen slightly curled his lips, "Mr. Luo Shan wants to introduce someone to my fiancee, Lin Yi. I don't know, does this person have something to do with you?"
When Luoshan was mentioned, the old man gritted his teeth immediately, with an expression of resentment.
"So you're the one that the old man wanted me to meet."
Lin Yi glanced at Lu Chen suspiciously, then smiled and said, "I want to ask about my subordinates."
"Tsk tsk, you came to see me specifically for your own subordinates. You should have heard of my name, right? For such little-known subordinates, you came to see me specially. Hehe, it's really strange."
After saying this, the old man walked towards the pavilion with his hands behind his back.
Lin Yi and Lu Chen looked at each other and followed.
"What do you want from me, tell me now."
As soon as the three of them sat down firmly, someone came forward to make tea for the old man, while Lin Yi and Lu Chen were ignored.
The old man's temper was very weird, Lin Yi and Lu Chen naturally would not have other ideas.
After a moment of silence, Lin Yi said, "I really want to know why you want to touch them."
"Hehe, I thought you wanted to seek justice for them, but it turned out to be just a lot of thunder and little rain." The old man sighed and shook his head.
"Although you are a bit stupid, you are not hopeless. Let me tell you, there are countless people who have experienced this kind of thing every day. It is impossible for me to remember the reasons for everyone."
The old man pointed to his head, "With such a big head, those trivial things will never go through it."
