Chapter 148 Storytelling

After returning to the old car, Xiaoban was unhappy and pouted, as if he had something on his mind.

"Xiaoban, are you still thinking about Kevin?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.

"Yeah, that guy pretended to be me and went around causing trouble, ruining my reputation as an alien hero!"

Xiaoban was indignant and clenched his fists, wishing he could pull Kevin out again and fight him for three hundred rounds.

Tian Mark took out a bowl of raw pickled mantis shrimp from the refrigerator and started to eat it, saying, "Well... it's really good, it's a rare delicacy!"

"Grandpa!" Xiaoban was immediately unhappy. He was still worried about Kevin, but Grandpa was enjoying the "nutrition meal" with a smile.

"Uh, what I mean is that Kevin really needs to see a psychiatrist." Tian Mark said, and took another bite of mantis shrimp.

"Huh?" Jiang Chen's eyes condensed, and he walked to Grandpa and looked at the raw pickled mantis shrimp in the bowl.

Various hot sauces and seasonings were mixed in a large porcelain bowl. In addition to raw pickled mantis shrimp, there were also cold noodles, cucumbers and other sundries. Tian Mark's mouth was full of oil and he couldn't stop eating. Tianlai Novel Network

Why does this thing look so familiar?

"Grandpa, did you learn this dish from a book?" Jiang Chen asked tentatively.

Tian Mark took a bite of enoki mushrooms, "Well... Of course not, how could such a precious dish be learned from a book? I learned it from a monk in Guangdong Province, Daxia."

He paused and continued, "This dish is called "raw pickled", but the monk also learned it from others, and then it was passed on to me. I heard that the origin is in Chaoshan area of ​​Guangdong Province."

"I see." Jiang Chen nodded.

No wonder this dish looks so familiar, it turned out to be passed on from Daxia.

"Grandpa, is it the monk who taught you mulberry and chrysanthemum tea?" Xiao Wen looked very curious.

When Xiaoban heard about mulberry and chrysanthemum tea, he shuddered. The last time he caught a bad cold, his grandfather gave him mulberry and chrysanthemum tea as cold medicine. It was so unpalatable!

That was the time when the flame man turned into an ice flame man and fought a big battle with the bug monster.

"Hey, that's him. That man is really great. He taught grandpa a lot of things." Tian Mark laughed, "Not only cooking and prescriptions, he also knows kung fu. It's an unforgettable past."

"Tell me now!" Xiaowen's eyes lit up and she came over immediately, eager to listen to the story.

Jiang Chen was also a little curious. He also wanted to know what skills this monk from Daxia had that made his grandfather, a legendary plumber, praise him so much.

As soon as he heard the story, Xiaoban threw all his worries behind him, picked up a small stool, and sat in front of his grandfather excitedly, "Grandpa, tell us quickly! I believe this story will be great!"

"Okay, okay, grandpa will tell you now." Tian Mark smiled kindly, his eyes full of doting.

Jiang Chen raised the corner of his mouth slightly. Tian Mark is such a person. He is kind and amiable to the people around him, full of tolerance and doting, but if he faces the vicious alien thugs, it is another matter. He directly carries high-tech weapons and starts to fight. Even the first generation of Viggars was stunned.

No matter how hard those aliens think, they will never think that this legendary plumber who everyone talks about will show such a tender side.

But it is precisely because of this that Tian Mark is respected by countless plumbers. If a person is only iron-blooded and cold, it is far from enough...

"Okay, children, grandpa will start to tell." Tian Mark coughed twice, raised his head, and his eyes revealed the color of memories.

The three of them sat upright, side by side, and listened quietly.

"It was a winter more than 30 years ago..."

That day, Tian Mark received a task from the water and electricity headquarters to go to Shennongjia in Daxia to investigate the appearance of wild men.

Originally, this should have been investigated by the local water and electricity workers in Daxia, but as soon as those people entered Shennongjia, they lost contact with the headquarters. The water and electricity senior management suspected that it was aliens who did it, and immediately ordered Tian Mark, who was outstanding at the time, to go to support, investigate the wild men in Shennongjia, and rescue the water and electricity workers who lost contact.

At that time, Tian Mark was still very young, at the age of youth and vigor. Faced with the order from the headquarters, he agreed without considering the danger at all.

"Wow, it's a wild man!" Xiaoban shouted excitedly. This is indeed an interesting story.

"Don't interrupt, Grandpa, continue to tell the story." Xiaowen patted Xiaoban.

Tian Mark smiled and continued to tell the past.

It was a snowy morning.

In the winter, Shennongjia is covered with snow, and the biting cold wind whistles in the woods, like the whisper of a devil, lingering in people's ears.

The young Tian Mark and Phil took a helicopter, crossed tens of thousands of kilometers, and arrived directly from the west to Shennongjia.

The two of them appeared very domineeringly, parachuting directly from a high altitude, fully armed, wearing blue combat uniforms, and landed in the woods of Shennongjia.

The monk from Guangdong Province in Daxia, named Chen Xuzi, who was a forest ranger in Shennongjia, was the one who met them at the time.

He was a little hunched, about 1.6 meters tall, very thin, and even gave people a feeling of sickness.

Looking like an average old man, Chen Xuzi had white hair, his face was covered with orange peel wrinkles, he was hunched over, he walked a little unsteadily, and coughed from time to time.

At that time, Tian Mark was walking behind him, and he was afraid that Chen Xuzi would fall into the ravine and die if he was not careful. He hurried forward and wanted to help the old man, but was swung away lightly.

Tian Mark was very surprised. Although he did not use much strength, it was not easy to push him away, let alone an elderly man.

After thinking for a while, Tian Mark finally refrained from asking questions. After all, they had a mission to do, and the environment at that time was very bad. They had to be cautious. In addition to being careful of nearby wild animals, they also had to beware of being attacked by "wild men".

Chen Xuzi first took Tian Mark and Phil to his own camp, made them a cup of tea, and then began to report about the "wild men".

As an excellent plumber, learning other languages ​​is a required course. Tian Mark and Phil's Chinese is a little poor, but they can barely communicate without obstacles.

It turned out that Chen Xuzi was the first to discover the existence of the "wild man", but he did not act rashly, but directly reported to the headquarters and asked them to send plumbers to investigate.

"Old man, I have a question." Phil suddenly said, and he found a shotgun in the corner of the room.

"Go ahead." Chen Xuzi's eyes were calm, and he picked up the teapot and made another cup of tea for the two.

Phil took two steps forward, picked up the shotgun, and observed it carefully.

"Weapons like this caliber are enough to deal with ordinary animals, at least it is no problem to kill a lion, and according to the intelligence, you brought this shotgun when you found the wild man."

Phil said coldly, staring at Chen Xuzi with his eyes, as if he wanted to see something.

"Yes, but what about that?" Chen Xuzi said.

"You, why didn't you shoot?"
