Xueba at the same table from the future

Chapter 280
"Old Yu? What did you just say?"

At that moment, Chen Mu even suspected that he had heard it wrong, and even unconsciously changed his title to an honorific title.

He couldn't believe that the skinny old man in front of him could say such an amazing fact so casually.

However, what made Chen Mu even more astonished was that not only was Lao Yu's expression not fake at this time, but what he said just now seemed to be a little louder than usual.

"I said, I'm going to leave that building to Xiao Baizi when the time comes, and it will be his salary for taking care of me for the past few months."

"This—" Chen Mu didn't know how to answer the question for a moment: "Mr. Yu, should you seriously consider this matter again?"

"What's there to think about, don't you kid still think what I just said is bragging?"

After saying that, Lao Yu was about to struggle to get up, but with Chen Mu's support, he stopped his movements and shifted his gaze to the locked wardrobe in front of him.

"Hey, all the relevant things are put in there. When the time comes, you can open it to that boy Bai Duanyun."

Speaking of this, Lao Yu sighed again, and moved his eyes to the direction behind the curtain: "Bai Duanyun, this kid, is also a freak I have seen in my life for so long."

"Cough, cough, call him stupid. He is better than anyone else at learning how to unlock and climb trees. This year's loquats were also ruined by him alone."

Lao Yu turned his gaze and pointed to the empty loquat tree outside the window, without turning his head, a faint smile appeared on his face for some reason.

"But if you say that he is smart, there is only one lock in the whole house. He looks at it every day, but he can't open it."

"...", Chen Mu couldn't help being silent for a moment: "According to my understanding of Bai Duanyun, although he is stupid, he is not bad."

"Ahem——" Chen Mu seemed to be a little embarrassed by Lao Yu's suspicious eyes at this time, and Chen Mu added slowly.

"Although I usually make a little trouble, there is still a bottom line, otherwise I wouldn't be able to become your old apprentice."

"That's...cough cough...I can be wrong in my eyes. If I didn't see you as a kid who was focused on the little girl next to me, as if I couldn't make a big deal, otherwise I would definitely choose you instead of Xiaobaizi. Stupid."

"Humans, in fact, you don't need to be so promising, just live your own life." Chen Mu scratched his head shyly.

"That's your idea. I don't agree with it. In short, boy, I think you are quite pleasing to the eye. Would you like to hear about the past of that building?"

"Actually, what I want to know more is about Mr. Yu, or about this Yishui Town."

"Tsk tsk—" Lao Yu leaned back a little, and asked Chen Mu to re-wrap the quilt for him: "So let me say, you're such a promising kid."

"Obviously he doesn't look like a stupid person, and he is more sophisticated and mature than Xiaobaizi in his handling of people and things, but it feels like he has no ideas to pursue, like a salted fish that cannot be turned over."

"At this point, it's quite similar to the me I used to be. I'm a salty fish, but I turned over later, and you haven't started to move yet."

"If you want me to say—" Lao Yu's cloudy eyes shot out a bright light: "At the very least, I have to focus on the whole Yishui County!"

"Xiao Chenzi, let me ask you again now, do you want to hear about the history of Yishui County? Or, how much do you know about it?"

"Yi Shui refers to the Yunmeng River. Its tributaries meander and develop, creating the former glory of this ferry city..."

Due to doubts about the real existence of the entire Yishui Town, Chen Mu no longer remembered how many relevant historical materials he had checked.

Even pushing forward, until the beginning of the entire county and the river, in fact, he can talk eloquently now, but he can't find anything abnormal.

"Later, due to the depletion of Yunmeng Lake and the shrinkage of various tributaries, Yishui County, a small city near the water, naturally fell into decline..."

Chen Mu finished such a long list of history in one breath, then blinked and looked at the person in front of him, pretending to be respectful and asking for advice.

"That's why I said, you look honest and honest, but secretly you are much smarter than Xiao Baizi."

"Actually, that's not wrong. After all, these days, honest people are always easy to suffer."

"Cough, cough, cough..." Lao Yu coughed heavily again: "Even if I speak now, I feel uncomfortable all over, like a fire in my throat, so I will speak slowly next time, but There will be no second time, you must listen carefully, kid."

"Actually, there is another legend about the origin of this Yishui River."

"A long, long time ago, the heaven and the earth collapsed, and the entire Yishui Realm was broken into large and small fragments, and the long river of life and death supporting the entire realm also disappeared."

"Existence dies, and since then there is only one river of life left in the entire Blue Star, and the meandering one has become the river of life, and the other part, which is vast and boundless, is the Dead Sea."

"Xiao Chenzi, did you ever feel for a moment that there would be many similar things in this small town?"

"Yes." Chen Mu nodded: "But even if I asked the uncle, I didn't get an answer."

"Your uncle is a foreigner, how does he know this?" Old Yu waved his hands in disgust.

"And even we locals don't really believe in this kind of folklore, but I'm different. After all, I've seen the power of the living river."

"?—" Chen Mu felt more and more that things were developing in a strange direction.

"It can be said that my whole family history was all because of this tributary of Yunmeng River. Of course, it was not because I was better than others, but because I was lucky enough to find a fish-enriched spot .”

"It's strange to say that the number of fish caught in that place is always higher than that in other places, but there is a characteristic, that is, the number of fish caught every time is almost the same."

"Anyway, you, old Yu, made your fortune by relying on this, and only then did you begin to believe in the magic of Yunmengjiang."

"Where is that place?" Seeing Lao Yu stop talking, Chen Mu couldn't help asking.

"Then who remembers it? After all, it's been so many years, and that incident is also evil. If I didn't see you wandering on the embankment every day, I wouldn't bother to mention this to you."

"By the way..." Lao Yu's eyes narrowed slightly as if he suddenly thought of some long-term memory.

"If you insist on finding that location now, maybe looking at the entire Yunmeng River from that tall building, you can find the largest water island in our town, the one covered with white reeds, that's probably the idea. "

"I miss...that time..." Chen Mu wanted to ask something more, but the old man in front of him had quietly fallen asleep, and snored lightly.

"Is that building..." Chen Mu also glanced in the direction Lao Yu pointed at just now.

The boy's eyes were deep and sharp, as if he wanted to see the sunlight outside the window through the thick wall.
