Chapter 32 The Old Man's Obsession
"Old guy, you're finally willing to answer the phone. If you don't answer the phone again, I won't be able to bear it. I'll collect your body in the past." Although he said so, because the two had lived together for more than ten years, Luo Chen knows better than anyone how abnormal the old man's physical fitness is.
Luo Chen even thought about it more than once, one day he can't live anymore, the old man may not be able to die.
The reason why he thinks this way is of course not that Luo Chen is whimsical.For more than ten years, Luo Chen has never seen the old man get sick, not even a cold, let alone go to the hospital.
What surprised Luo Chen even more was that the old man didn't seem to feel hungry, he seldom ate, and occasionally ate a few casual bites, it felt like he was dealing with an errand.
However, the old man is still full of energy every day, especially when he beat up Luo Chen who was naughty when he was a child, he was extra vigorous every time, he didn't look like an old man at all.
And after Luo Chen grew up, the old man would take the initiative to invite Luo Chen to fight twice from time to time, not much different from when he was a child, every time Luo Chen was beaten badly.
If it weren't for the old man's extreme slowness and resistance to modernization, new things such as smart phones and the Internet, like many stubborn old men with outdated concepts, Luo Chen couldn't help but suspect that the old man is a person who deliberately made himself an old man. He looks like a young adult.
The mobile phone that the old man is using now is the old-age function phone that Luo Chen forced to buy for him before he went abroad.Back then, in order to convince the old man to accept and learn to use the functional phone to answer and make calls, Luo Chen really spent a lot of effort.
If it wasn't for the few filial pieties in his heart, Luo Chen almost gave up because he couldn't rest assured that the old man was alone in the country.
Even so, Luo Chen had been abroad for several years, and the old man never took the initiative to call Luo Chen even once.Every time it was Luo Chen who, after a while, took the initiative to call the old man to inquire about his current situation.
Every time Luo Chen took the initiative to call the old man, at least he had to make a three-way connection before the old man could answer.Most of the time, Luo Chen made more than a dozen phone calls in a row, but the old man didn't answer them.
After the call was made, the conversation between the two never exceeded three sentences.
One of the lines is still the old man's implicitly expected question, "You—are you pregnant?"
"I'm pregnant with wool!"
Luo Chen had heard the same question thousands of times, and every time he heard it, he would get angry every time, "Old guy, can I trouble you, stop asking me like this. So Over the years, I have grown taller and more handsome, but there is no bullshit change in my body! Tell me the truth, old man, have you been teasing me since the beginning? Whose body can conceive in normal people? Out of a sword?!"
If so, ordinary people would probably laugh at Luo Chen's last words as a joke.
When Luo Chen heard it from the old man at first, it was indeed a joke.However, ever since Luo Chen learned a set of so-called exhalation and breathing techniques from the old man, the old man always asked this question every once in a while.
Ten years as one day, perseverance!
It's not bothering to ask, it's annoying to listen, Luo Chen was determined to go abroad at the beginning, except for holding his breath and wanting to make a career.It is more or less so, to avoid the old man's daily "nervous questioning".
It's really annoying, if you don't know clearly that the old man does have some things different from ordinary people.Besides, the old man didn't show any other neurotic outliers, Luo Chen couldn't help but take the old man to a mental hospital to have his brain checked.
Normal people are rarely so persistent.
"Old guy, are you listening to me?" Luo Chen, who waited for a long time before the old man responded, impatiently issued an ultimatum, "I don't care what your original intention is, and I don't want to know your basis either. What is it? In a word, I will remind you for the last time, don’t ask me such idiot questions again! It’s been more than ten years, you are not annoying, I am very annoying!”
Luo Chen originally thought that after he finished complaining, the old man would definitely hang up the phone as usual, but he never thought that the old man would say something extra, "You——changed your number?"
"..."
Luo Chen, who subconsciously thought that he had auditory hallucinations, was stunned for a full five seconds, and then he finally recovered, and responded with a rare stutter, "No, I didn't change the number, this phone number is mine. It’s my wife’s. It’s the one you called earlier to say you were kind, Mu Qingping’s granddaughter Mu Binglan.”
"I used her mobile phone to call you. I didn't mean anything else, just to let you rest assured. She is much better than I expected. I get along with her-generally OK. You don't have to worry about me, I am doing well , you may have a great-grandson in your arms one day. If you have time, you can come and have a look. My wife is really beautiful and rich. She is the general manager of a five-star hotel. We live in There is a big villa with a garden, a swimming pool, and an aunt who cooks for us. I just want to say that the two of us have a good life. "
It was rare for the old man to ask one more question. Luo Chen, who has always regarded the old man as his only close relative for more than ten years, said a lot in a row.It's like a wanderer who travels far away from home for fear of the elders in the family and worries about his own poor life, reporting good news but not worrying.
I don't know if it's because Luo Chen talked too much, or what happened.
After Luo Chen finished talking a series of words, the old man on the other end of the phone did not hang up the phone. After a long silence, he told Luo Chen for the first time, "Be nice to... Mu girl."
After finishing speaking, the old man hung up the phone, while Luo Chen seemed to be stupid, keeping the posture of listening to the phone still for more than ten seconds.
"Old guy, I finally know how to care about people." After recovering from his senses, Luo Chen sighed while shaking his head with a smile, "It's not easy, it would be even better if he wasn't so single-minded."
Sighing is sighing, Luo Chen knows better than anyone else that it is absolutely impossible for the old man to give up that seemingly neurotic obsession.Unless the world is destroyed, or Luo Chen dies.
But if you are bored, Luo Chen has to admit that the so-called exhalation and breathing method passed on by the old man has indeed made his physical fitness, perception, and even his ability to recover after injury far superior to ordinary people.
Luo Chen was able to rise rapidly in just a few years, and stood at the top of the international mercenary world where the strong came out. The obscure breathing method taught to him by the old man is a great contribution.
It was precisely because he felt the changes in his body that when he was a child, Luo Chen even had great expectations for a sword to be bred in his body.
However, with the passage of time, Luo Chen's inner expectations gradually faded away.
