Chapter 39: This is called a friendship between generations

~9 min read 1,794 words

"Hello, Grandpa Zhou." Going downstairs and coming to the park, seeing his practice friend, who could also be considered a fixed NPC, Lin Li greeted him very naturally.

As always, his hot face was stuck to a cold butt. Zhou Youwei just nodded at Lin Li, but Lin Li didn't mind this.

Once a grandson, always a grandson. The old child doesn't understand things; why do you care about him?

I dote on his father.

However, today's Zhou Youwei seemed a little different from usual. Usually, he should have started staring at him, thinking about stealing his skills, but today he looked depressed and absent-minded.

Do people in their sixties also listen to NetEase Cloud at midnight to recall their white moonlight?

Although he was very curious, Lin Li didn't have the leisure to ask what happened. This belonged to purely looking for trouble, so he started practicing seriously.

"Go! Go! Go!" As a result, before he even officially started, Zhou Youwei's voice interrupted him.

Lin Li looked over; it was Zhou Youwei pushing his hand to threaten a stray dog that was still seven or eight meters away.

The annual property management fee for the community where Lin Li lives is only 200 yuan. Although Xiling Town is not a big place, this price is also excessively low.

It can only be said that you get what you pay for. The quality of the property management can actually be seen from the quality of the security guards at the door. The security guard in Lin Li's community is a classic old man in his sixties or seventies, with sparse white hair, wearing glasses, and liking to drink tea, read newspapers, and listen to the radio, who is slightly hard of hearing.

If you ask him if he knows Ma Dongmei, he will really answer "What Dongmei?".

Lin Li asked him to open the gate, and he said "Thank you, young man, Grandpa can't eat fried chicken."

Lin Li pointed to the jujube tree in the community and said "Grandpa, I want to go up and hit the jujubes," and he said he was thinking about his sister-in-law in Shandong, suggesting he should do it himself.

Every time he came back, he could hear the sound of dialect opera singing in the security booth, or there was simply no one there.

If you ask the honorable owner Lin Li what the security booth is actually for, he can only scratch his head for a long time and then answer that it has the function of connecting the preceding and the following, introducing the following text, and expressing the author's nostalgia.

—Useless.

Such property management naturally wouldn't care about stray cats and dogs. The daily maintenance of the community park basically relies on enthusiastic and idle grandpas and grandmas. They seem to have a non-official committee, but Lin Li doesn't know the specifics.

He hasn't reached the age to join the association yet.

He still needs to accept the organization's test for at least forty-three years.

No, the retirement age is 65, so forty-eight years.

Lin Li looked at Little Zhou.

Strange, Little Zhou's attitude toward stray dogs usually isn't this disgusted. Why did he suddenly change his temper today?

Is it because the stray dog annoyed him, or because he was in a bad mood, so he took it out on the stray dog?

Fortunately, he wasn't driving away a stray cat; otherwise, if it were filmed and posted on the Internet, he would feel what the malice of the world is. After all, on TikTok, cats are super-first-class protected animals.

Cats and dogs are quite cute, and Lin Li likes them very much, but in Lin Li's heart, no matter how cute they are, they can only be classified as livestock like Bai Bufan. You can treat them better than other livestock because you like them, but they must never override ordinary, normal people.

Withdrawing his thoughts, after taking a deep breath, Lin Li officially started practicing.

F*ck, so comfortable.

Lin Li, who had been living in pain every morning, showed a sincere smile for the first time today.

It felt like many Xiao Jings were surrounding and supporting him.

He forgot that his Yang energy concentration was 50% higher than before and his body was more sensitive.

He couldn't think of such stimulating pictures.

Actually, this doesn't hinder practicing, but it's easy for others to see.

That would lead to very, very, very bad misunderstandings.

Therefore, when Zhou Youwei finished driving away the dog and turned to see Lin Li suddenly stop his movements, sitting on the stone chair and arching his body in a thoughtful posture, he fell into confusion.

What is this damn kid doing?

Acting as a sculpture here early in the morning?

If he walked closer, Zhou Youwei would hear Lin Li's muttering:

"Black anthropomorphic catfish, I love you, black anthropomorphic catfish, I love you..."

Half an hour passed. For the first time, serious practice didn't bring fatigue. On the contrary, Lin Li was very energetic now. He exhaled a long breath and showed a smile of unfinished business on his face.

The reason he stopped now was because there was no spiritual energy in the spirit stone.

It was about the same as he expected. Practicing the spiritual energy chapter of the "Eight-Stage Body Tempering Technique" consumed about two low-grade spirit stones per hour.

Get, he only had two and a half days of medicine in his hand.

To be precise, he could only be happy for another two hours now.

Lin Li sighed long and then got up to leave—

Lin Li walked toward the toilet.

There seemed to be footsteps behind him. Turning his head, Lin Li saw Zhou Youwei, who was suddenly not depressed and holding his phone with an excited face. He followed behind him. After making eye contact with him, he suddenly turned his head to carefully examine the trees nearby and commented: "This big tree is really a big tree."

Lin Li: "?"

Lin Li walked for ten seconds and heard footsteps again, so he turned his head.

"This flower is really a flower."

Lin Li turned his head again after walking for a minute. This time, he didn't hear any exclamation, but he said helplessly: "Grandpa Zhou, I see you. Stop squatting."

"This dog shit is really dog... why is there dog shit again! One day, I will drive all the stray dogs out of our community!" Zhou Youwei stood up suddenly, cursing.

Playing games and watching anime, this fashionable grandpa's later years are considered ominous.

"Stray dogs pooping everywhere is indeed annoying," Lin Li agreed first, then asked curiously, "Grandpa Zhou, why are you following me?"

"Who is following you? I'm just going to the toilet!" Zhou Youwei widened his eyes and retorted.

"Then why don't you walk faster?" Lin Li nodded, not doubting it, after all, this was the way to the public toilet, but he asked again.

"Isn't it normal for old people to have slow legs?"

Zhou Youwei is not good at lying.

Not right.

Lin Li narrowed his eyes.

A genius can always dig out the truth of things all at once.

—So old, yet he doesn't dare to come to the public toilet in the woods alone?

But this speculation is too outrageous. The community's public toilet is indeed a bit remote, and the environment is slightly worse, but it's broad daylight now; ghosts are off work at this time.

"Grandpa, are you afraid of ghosts?" So Lin Li asked.

"Hmph! Afraid of ghosts? I'm afraid of ghosts, but ghosts haven't hurt me at all! I'm not afraid of people, but people have hurt me all over!" Zhou Youwei flicked his sleeves, sarcastically mocking Lin Li.

OK.

Filtering automatically, Lin Li only heard "I'm afraid of ghosts."

As expected of a genius, he guessed right again.

He's just cowardly.

If you're afraid, just be afraid. Why say so much for the sake of face? How come Little Zhou is as stubborn as Old Jian Tou?

Maybe the older people are, the more superstitious they are.

Upholding the principle of respecting the old and loving the young, Lin Li didn't expose him, went to the toilet, walked into the cubicle, opened the egg box, and quickly replaced a sub-egg.

The spirit stone without spiritual energy became very light and could no longer be returned to the 【Warehouse】. It looked like a plastic shell, but for the sake of stability, Lin Li decided to take it home.

When he walked out of the toilet entrance, because he was lagging behind him a lot, Zhou Youwei had just entered.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Zhou Youwei also suddenly turned his direction.

Lin Li sighed with some amusement. Without waiting for the other party to say anything, he said warmly: "Grandpa Zhou, go to the toilet. I'll wait for you here. I won't move around. I'll definitely still be here when you come out."

He could understand Grandpa Zhou's actions. After all, if he left, he definitely wouldn't dare.

Zhou Youwei gritted his teeth upon hearing this. He could also understand Lin Li's actions.

If he couldn't see it now, he would be a fool: Lin Li obviously already knew he was following him, but now he was deliberately following his words. One was to show that he didn't intend to do bad things, and the other was to mock him.

He shouldn't have followed so rashly today.

No, thinking about it this way, since he could easily discover him today, maybe this insidious child had already discovered his existence yesterday, but pretended not to know. Mentioning stray dogs to him just now was probably hinting at this, right?

What an insidious layout.

Zhou Youwei walked into the toilet with his head lowered in unwillingness.

These two confrontations were his loss, a big loss.

Looking at this scene, Lin Li showed a gentle smile. Grandpa Zhou seems to have felt his kindness, so he lowered his head shyly and went in.

Another day of doing good deeds.

Not long after, Zhou Youwei, who came out of the toilet, raised his head again.

He suddenly realized one thing: he didn't lose.

His purpose was to protect others in the community from Lin Li's harm. Didn't he already achieve his goal? Lin Li couldn't do anything!

Therefore, he smiled proudly at Lin Li.

Lin Li also responded with a brilliant smile.

This is the grandpa he is familiar with.

The happiness after solving the urination problem, Lin Li understands too well. He was immersed in this happiness for a whole minute in the morning. Resonance!
