"Wait, interrupt."

I stretched out my hand to interrupt the other person's words and pointed at the fabric at my ankle:
"The trouser leg is in this position?"

Old Xu, who was already ready to talk eloquently, was stunned:
"Yes, what's wrong?"

I frowned slightly:
"Is the other party talking to you? Looking at you levelly?"

"How could a normal person reach this place and reach out to open the door while watching you talking?"

Old Xu was petrified inch by inch. It took him a long time to finally realize what I was talking about and said blankly:
"That's right. How can a normal person's hand grasp the hem of his trousers? It's not like he's lying on the ground."

In an instant, information that he had never paid attention to before poured into Lao Xu's mind, constructing a picture——

In the dark corridor, the neighbor's door was opened only a crack. The neighbor's hand reached out close to the ground and firmly grasped his trousers.

Lao Xu looked back and saw a friendly neighbor smiling at him.

No, it wasn't a friendly look either, because he didn't see his neighbor's whole face at all.

There is only a gap, and only half of the man's face appears.

Strange, strange.

What kind of posture is there inside that door?

The head is at the same level as the person, but the hands are close to the ground.
Are your hands too long?
It hangs directly from the shoulders to the ground, like a catfish's whiskers, swinging on both sides of the body.

When I usually walk, I just drag it.

Because of this, the neighbor cannot cook with such long hands and needs Lao Xu to cook?
Or, another possibility is that the head is too long?

A head that is too long will naturally be heavier than a normal head.

So with such a long head and neck, it overwhelms its next door neighbor.

The neighbor could only crawl on the ground and squirm forward.
He lies on the ground all day long, waiting for anyone to pass by his door. His head like a snake is staring at the pedestrians passing by the deep corridor, waiting for his prey.
Lao Xu was so frightened by the imaginary neighbor in his mind that the cold sweat that had already dissipated most of it gathered on his forehead again:
"Then what did he do to me?"

I glanced at the other party's frightened expression, and immediately understood that the other party must have imagined something incredible:
"With your brain, can you react to what is being done to you?"

After all, it’s such a terrifying thing to do with your head on top and your hands on the ground grabbing your trouser legs.
This old Xu didn't react at all at that time, and it wasn't until now that he realized something was wrong!

Now I seriously suspect that the other party originally wanted to scare Lao Xu, but after discovering that Lao Xu was very nervous, he started to coax him to "eat".
Lao Xu wiped his sweat nervously, and after a long while, he reorganized his words:
"Then I'll tell you about my neighbor, and you can help me think about it."

[In fact, things are not complicated.

The neighbor grabbed Lao Xu's trouser leg and opened his mouth:

"It smells so good, it smells so good. What are you carrying?"

"Give me a bite, and I'll let you go after one bite."

Lao Xu was overjoyed when he bought a new house. He originally planned to have a few drinks with his co-workers, but the co-workers were unwilling to come to Lao Xu's house and felt it was unlucky.

Under the distress of all kinds of strange looks, Lao Xu decided to buy something to celebrate. Then he went home with a dozen beers in his left hand and several boxes of packed side dishes in his right hand.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I got home, I would be stopped by this 'hospitable and greedy' neighbor next door.
Then there is nothing more to say.

Drink it!

Lao Xu has been discriminated against for most of his life. He originally thought that there must be no people in this community, but now he not only has a neighbor, but also a neighbor who takes the initiative to talk. How great!
So Lao Xu immediately stood firm and said:
"It's pork head salad, a little beef offal, lamb tripe and peanuts."

"Brother, do you want to eat something? If you want to eat something, come home with me and I'll treat you." The name of this dish really made me salivate.

The neighbor obviously didn't expect that Lao Xu was so crazy that he would invite him.

He thought again and again, looked at Lao Xu several times, and still refused after a long time:
"I don't drink wine, I only like pork head meat."

"Besides, my legs and feet are inconvenient, and the door lock at home is broken. I can't leave the house, and I'm afraid I won't be able to drink."

"Just throw in a few pieces of pork head and I'll thank you."

This neighbor had obviously made up his mind to not have anything to do with Lao Xu.

But I couldn't stand the fact that Lao Xu was a hard-working man with a kind heart. It was rare to meet someone who was willing to talk to him. Hearing these words, he felt a little unhappy:
"How can this be?"

"Well, I'll go home and move a table and chairs, then put the food down, and we'll eat here."

"I moved to a new house, and I was actually very happy. But many people said I was stupid, and no one talked to me. We two brothers are together. If you don't drink, you can just listen to what I say. Okay?”

The neighbor Xu rarely met such a person. After a long silence, the door opened and closed, closed and opened again.

Just when Lao Xu was blushing and his heart was pounding, the neighbor finally spoke:
".also."

So that day, Lao Xu really sat in the dark corridor, having a drink and chatting with his neighbor who didn't even show his face.

My neighbor doesn’t drink, he only eats vegetables, and he uses his chopsticks backwards.

Every time he picked up the meat with his pale hands, it would retract into the crack of the door, and then he would chew it.

Lao Xu drank a little too much that day and was not a particular person, so he didn't find this way of eating strange.

I just vaguely felt that my neighbor's mouth was really loud, as if he had hundreds of pairs of mouths.

But, what a mouthful!

Hey, hey, a grown man drinks, and it’s not a little girl who has to pay attention to her image, so what’s going to happen?
Lao Xu didn't take it seriously at all, so the meal was really a feast for the guests and the host, and they also exchanged names.

The two of them shouted "Lao Xu" and "Lao Zhang" in each mouth, shouting happily.

In the next few days, whenever Lao Xu came home from work at night, the neighbor would definitely lean on the crack of the door and ask:
"Old Xu, are you back?"

"Did you encounter anything today?"

It is said that people in the city are indifferent, but it is really nice to have this neighbor!

Normally in my hometown in the countryside, the distant relatives I would see without looking up and looking down are not so warm!

Lao Xu thought so in his mind, so in the next few months, considering that this neighbor with "bad legs and feet" might be hungry, as long as it was raining and the construction site was not suitable for work, he could rest and cook at home.

When Lao Xu was cooking, he would cook an extra portion and send it to his neighbors. Sometimes it was soup, sometimes noodles, and sometimes a couple of eggs.

In short, although Lao Xu is not very smart, he is indeed a kind-hearted person.

And this neighbor.
Lao Xu delivered a lot of food, and the neighbor's attitude changed from accepting it calmly at first, to being embarrassed, and then to extremely urgent.

Originally, Lao Xu would ask this question when he passed by the corridor after work in the evening.

Eventually, whenever Lao Xu went out and his neighbors heard some noise, they would open the door and ask:
"Old Xu, what are you going to do?"

"What do you want to do?"] (End of chapter)
