Chapter 496: Stealing the water of time and building my world!
After sitting down, the old man with white eyebrows stretched out his trembling hand, picked up the hot tea poured on the table, took a sip, and breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the scene was once in silence and embarrassment.
After a while, the old man with a white eyebrows smiled and said, "What's wrong with Fellow Daoist Su's sudden visit?"
The old man smiled and could see only a few sparse teeth left in his mouth. The word "old-looking and long-lasting" was fully reflected in his body.
Upon hearing this, Su Mu raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
"Senior, do you recognize me?"
Out of politeness, Su Mu still shouted "Senior". Although he looked no different from an old mortal man, Su Mu did not dare to underestimate him.
After hearing the title of Su Mu, he waved his hand and said, "Senior, don't dare to take it or not, Fellow Daoist Su, don't kill me."
"My surname is Yang, just an old guy who is about to fall into the soil."
As he said that, the old man with white eyebrows paused and continued, "Fellow Daoist Su's name is famous, no one knows it, and who doesn't know it?"
"Besides, I live here, fellow Taoist guards this river. Fellow Daoist is a landlord, I am just a person who resides, how could I not know it?"
After hearing this, Su Mu did not ask questions, but asked in the words: "Fellow Daoist Yang has always lived here?"
Su Mu has been guarding the Changhe River for so many years, and has met people living near the Changhe River, and he can count one hand, so he seems very curious. "It's not long, I have lived there for decades, I can't remember how long it took." A look of recollection appeared on the face of the white-browed old man.
Upon hearing this, Su Mu's pupils shrank and he was obviously stunned.
I started to count from crossing this river, and it took only nine and a half years to count. This old man had lived here for decades, which means that before he guarded this river, the old man had already lived here.
To a certain extent, this old man is considered a purely blooded native?
After a while, the old man with white eyebrows quipped, "I have heard of the rules of fellow Taoist Su. According to the rules, do I have to pay you a residence fee?"
Hearing this, Su Mu waved his hand and smiled, "No need for this. Although I am guarding this river, as long as you do not disrupt the order of the river, you can live as long as you want."
This "we" refers to the headless man who repeated the work of carrying water.
The old man with white eyebrows also heard the meaning in Su Mu's words.
At this time, the headless man took two more buckets of water, came to the pond, and poured the water from the bucket into the pond. "If I guess correctly, Fellow Daoist Su should have encountered a big trouble." The old man with white eyebrows said slowly.
Hearing this, Su Mu raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Then guess what big trouble I encountered."
"I have lived in the river for decades, and I have been born on the river. Although I don't know much about this river."
"But I like to observe. After my observation, the water level of this river has dropped a lot. The water level has dropped by more than one meter. I don't know how much it is."
"Fellow Daoist Su should be troubled by this problem, right?"
The old man with white eyebrows looked at Su Mu and said seriously.
Hearing these words, Su Mu was stunned, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and his eyes looked at the old man with white eyebrows became different.
This old man is indeed not simple.
Although it is not a great skill to observe the drop in the water level, it is the skill to guess that he is troubled by this matter! "Brother Yang is a god." "Hidden it deeply." Su Mu said with a smile.
Hearing this, the old man with white eyebrows waved his hand and said, "Brother Su is too good, I'm just guessing." "The old man with half of his body is buried in the soil, there is nothing to hide."
As he spoke, he could feel a hint of sadness and self-deprecating voice in the tone of the old man with white eyebrows.
At this time, Su Mu looked at the headless man standing by the pond resting, and asked, "Is this person a member of Brother Yang's family?"
Hearing this, the old man with white eyebrows also looked at the headless man, and his eyes became complicated: "That's right."
"He is the only person around me."
At this time, the old man with a white eyebrows asked with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Su shouldn't think that the water level has dropped because he keeps fetching water, right?"
Hearing this, Su Mu waved his hand and said, "Of course not. Compared with the water volume of the entire river that falls by one meter, this amount of water is like a drop in the ocean, and it doesn't affect anything."
After hearing this, the old man with a white eyebrows thought of something and said embarrassedly: "Actually, I am also ashamed of Fellow Daoist Su for this matter."
"I transferred the water on the river to my pond without your permission."
"However, I have prepared compensation for fellow Daoist Su."
The newest ⊥小⊥ said⊥⊥利⊥9⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥!
As he said that, the old man with white eyebrows stood up and walked into the house.
After a while, a box made of bamboo and wood was brought out, placed in front of Su Mu and said, "This is a little bit of my thoughts for fellow Taoist Su. I hope fellow Taoist will not dislike it."
Seeing this, Su Mu was also stunned and waved his hand and said, "No, no, no."
"You can pick up some water and pick up some water. Why do you do so seriously?"
"And I am not as unreasonable as you imagined. I have indeed been charging river crossing fees over the years, but I will not charge other fees randomly."
"You have lived here for so long, so it is your home."
Su Mu is not so unreasonable. People live on the river and pick up some water from the river to use. It is impossible for this to be charged, right?
It's like, if you open a black pit, someone comes to you to fish and use some river water to mix bait, you will have to charge a "water fee"?
That's too dark.
Su Mu is black, but he is not so dark.
"No, please accept it for fellow Taoists."
"No, no, no."
"Fellow Taoists must accept it, otherwise I will be uneasy!"
In this way, at Old Man Yang's strong request, Su Mu accepted it "rudely". "How can you be so embarrassed?" Su Mu said with a smile after putting the wooden box into the Dantian space.
It is very impolite for him to dismantle the gifts given by others in person, but judging from this weight, the things inside should be good.
After seeing Su Mu accept the things, the old man with white eyebrows breathed a sigh of relief, and the big stone that had been hanging in his heart was able to let go.
He had a premonition that Su Mu would come to him one day, so he had been preparing treasures, just waiting for this day.
He was also worried that Su Mu would not appreciate it, but he did not expect that this person who guarded the river for a long time was different from the rumors. He was approachable, easy to get along with, and easy to speak.
It seems that the rumors say that the river guardians are cold and ruthless, and they are more or less domineering.
