"The old man is very good, and he is also a sworn enemy with Idar, and he won't harm us, if you don't believe it, come with me!" When Andrei said this, he smiled at the gray-haired old man: "Grandpa, I want to take them to your house as a guest, you won't mind, right?" ”

"Of course they don't mind, as long as they promise not to break my stuff!" The gray-haired old man also saw that Jack and his party were guarding against him, smiled disapprerovingly, and walked step by step towards his wooden house on crutches, not forgetting to let Andre and his party follow closely.

After walking through the dense forest and passing by some strange plants, Andre and Jack followed the gray-haired old man to a primitive log cabin.

The gray-haired old man slowly opened the cabin, and Jack followed him first, looking around until he was sure that the cabin was safe, and then let André in.

"Would you like tea?" The gray-haired old man found a teapot, poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Andre, Andre looked down at the tea leaves in the cup, and asked with a smile: "Grandpa, won't your tea have any special effects?" ”

"What special effect do you want?" The gray-haired old man asked amusedly.

"It allows me to grow up quickly...... Or make my power stronger? Andrei's eyes widened, he gestured in a circle, and raised his arm again.

The gray-haired old man shook his head, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "My tea will only make people feel comfortable after drinking it, and these effects you said are not!" ”

Seeing that Andre was a little disappointed, he said with a smile: "If you want to grow up quickly, there may be some side effects, such as becoming as old as me soon, this is probably not the result you want!" ”

Seeing the gray-haired old man pointing at himself, Andre stuck out his tongue, waved his hand and said, "Then I still don't want to grow up quickly!" ”

"It's best to go with the flow, sometimes forcibly changing it will only go against the grain and be counterproductive......," the gray-haired old man sighed, as if he remembered some past events.

Andre was about to take a sip of the teacup, but was preempted by Jack, who was worried about the problem with the tea, Jack drank the whole cup of tea in one go, Andre could only shrug his shoulders and ask with concern: "Jack, are you in a better mood now?" ”

Jack smacked his lips, nodded and smiled innocently at Andre: "It's really a lot better!" ”

Jack, who inadvertently said a lot of truths because he had eaten the truth fruit before, and felt that he had been calculated by this gray-haired old man, after drinking this cup of tea, the nest fire in his heart miraculously calmed down, and even looked at this gray-haired old man a lot more pleasing to the eye.

"Grandpa, your stuff is amazing!" Andrei's praise woke up the gray-haired old man who was stuck in the memory.

The gray-haired old man smiled slightly, pointed to the bottles and cans on the table and said, "I have a lot of magical things here, if you are interested, you can stay with me, and I will teach you one by one!" ”

Andrei wanted to agree, but thinking that he still had to go to the Mankiw family to see the excitement, he still shook his head and rejected the gray-haired old man's proposal: "I also want to learn these things from you, old man, but I still have to travel, so I can't stay!" ”

"That's right......," the gray-haired old man sighed rather regretfully, suddenly remembered something, patted his head, rummaged through the cabinets for a while, and finally found what he was looking for in a drawer.
