Chapter 42 Wang Tairan

Liu Xing did not expect Wang Tairan to appear suddenly. He has lived in Wang Lanlan's house for more than a month, and today is the first time he has met Wang Tairan.

Wang Tairan is the chairman of the Fiction Street Management Committee. He has held this position for more than 30 years. In Fiction Street and even the entire Tianhai City, Wang Tairan is a highly respected senior.

Meeting such an important person suddenly, Liu Xing was a little nervous, because he was holding the textbook of Volume 94 of "Advanced Tutorial for Winning" in his hand, and Wang Lanlan was not at home. Wouldn't Wang Tairan think him a thief?

"Mr. Wang, I'm Wang Lanlan's friend." Liu Xing quickly explained, so as not to be caught as a thief in a while.

Leaning on crutches, Wang Tairan walked slowly to the sofa in the living room, sat down, waved, and said with a smile: "Sit, let's chat."

Liu Xing sat on the sofa.

"I know something about you and my granddaughter Lanlan." Wang Tairan cut to the chase, "Lanlan lent you a copy of "Introduction to Winning" two months ago, and you started to learn reading skills. Later, you lent Lan Lan wrote a novel "The King of Sleeping Kings" to help her cure her insomnia. In order to thank you, Lan Lan took you to my house to read "Advanced Tutorial for Winning" a month ago."

Liu Xing was startled, Wang Tairan knew so clearly about the matter between him and Wang Lanlan, and said, "Are you monitoring Wang Lanlan?"

A faint smile appeared on Wang Tairan's benevolent face, and he said, "You react quite quickly."

"Isn't Wang Lanlan your granddaughter? Why do you want to monitor her?"

"It's a long story."

Wang Tairan is 98 years old this year, and his physical condition is getting worse day by day. He knows that his time may be numbered.Wang Tairan has already seen life and death very clearly, and the only thing he is worried about is his precious grandson Queen Lanlan.

Wang Lanlan is only 16 years old. She has no father, no mother, no relatives and no friends. The only person she can rely on is her grandfather Wang Tairan.If Wang Tairan passed away, Wang Lanlan would be helpless and alone.

Whenever Wang Tairan thinks of this matter, his mind is full of worries.

After thinking about it, Wang Tairan felt that it was necessary for his granddaughter to learn to live independently, so he intentionally stayed away from Wang Lanlan, trying to let Wang Lanlan get in touch with more people, make more friends, and adapt to living alone.

In the past few months, Wang Tairan lied about going out to do errands, but in fact he had been in Tianhai City, secretly observing Wang Lanlan.

Just as Wang Tairan expected, Wang Lanlan was not used to the life without her grandpa. She began to feel irritable, restless, lonely, and afraid. She would suffer from insomnia at night, and sometimes even cry secretly.

Seeing this, Wang Tairan felt very distressed, but in order to let his granddaughter learn to be independent, he had no choice but to be ruthless.

In the first month, Wang Lanlan was depressed every day, until the appearance of a person made the situation better, and this person was Liu Xing.

Because of the novel "Detective Wang Nan", Wang Lanlan and Liu Xing met and became friends.

When Wang Lanlan suffered from insomnia, Liu Xing accompanied her to the bookstore to buy novels for treatment; when Liu Xing Bookstore opened, Wang Lanlan bought firecrackers and fireworks to help him celebrate; When it closed down, Wang Lanlan helped him get a big deal...

After getting along for two months, Liu Xing and Wang Lanlan are now good friends who talk about everything.

More importantly, Wang Lanlan started to write novels again, and she was very busy with writing novels every day, and she became that little girl dreaming of being a writer again...

Seeing that Wang Lanlan can still live happily without the company of his grandfather, Wang Tairan was very pleased, and finally he could let go of a stone hanging in his heart.

"Xiao Liu, thank you for taking care of Lan Lan these two months."

"Actually, I didn't do anything, but Lanlan helped me a lot."

With his eyes fixed slightly, Wang Tairan looked at the Shengsheng teaching material that Liu Xing was holding in his hand, and asked curiously: "Can you understand this set of "Shengsheng Advanced Tutorial"?"

"I can understand a little bit."

Wang Tairan has been studying reading skills for more than 80 years, and it is rare to meet such a master. Liu Xing naturally will not let go of the opportunity to ask for advice.

"Mr. Wang, I would like to ask you a question." Liu Xing asked proactively, "If you finish the 10000 advanced imaginative skills in the "Enchanted Advanced Course", will you be able to reach the state of 'Enchanted'?"

Wang Tairan smiled, although he felt that Liu Xing's thoughts were a bit too naive, but he could understand it.Almost everyone who has just learned to read will be curious about ecstasy.

"How easy is it to learn the 10000 advanced imaginative skills in the "Winning Advanced Course"?" Wang Tairan introduced, "I have spent nearly 80 years and only learned more than 2000. Unless the talent is 5 times higher than mine Otherwise, even if you spend your whole life, it is impossible to learn 10000 kinds.”

Liu Xing asked: "If you really finish studying, will you be able to reach the highest reading state of 'integration of human and book'?"

Wang Tairan smiled lightly: "'Human-Book Unity' is not that simple. Do you know the general outline of ecstasy?"

"The general outline of ecstasy?" Liu Xing shook his head, "What is it?"

"The general outline of ecstasy is the outline of reading ecstasy summed up by Ma Xingkong more than 900 years ago. It reveals the principle of ecstasy. This general outline of ecstasy is divided into four parts..."

Just as he was talking, at this moment, the door of the house suddenly sounded unlocked. Hearing the sound, Wang Tairan's face changed slightly, and he changed his mouth and said: "Lan Lan should be back. Xiao Liu, don't tell Lan Lan that I am at home." .”

After speaking, Wang Tairan got up immediately, walked quickly to his study, and hid.

Seeing this, Liu Xing was a little speechless. This old man over ninety years old actually played hide-and-seek with his granddaughter.

Click, there was a crisp sound, the door was opened, Wang Lanlan jumped in like a little rabbit, once she got to the hall, her eyes searched around, she raised her eyebrows, and asked strangely: "Liu Xing, where is he? "

"who?"

"When I was at the door, I clearly heard someone chatting in the living room?"

"You heard wrong, I'm the only one in the family." Liu Xing lied.

"Impossible, I heard another voice." Wang Lanlan still didn't believe it, and began to search for it. After wandering around the hall to no avail, she was about to walk towards the study.

Wang Tairan was hiding in the study, Liu Xing naturally wanted to help him, so he stopped Wang Lanlan and said, "Shall we go out for lunch?"

"I've already eaten." After speaking, Wang Lanlan walked around and rushed into the study.

Mr. Wang, don't blame me for not helping you, there is really nothing I can do!

Thinking to himself, Liu Xing followed into the study.

"Strange, why is there no one?"

When she arrived at the study, Wang Lanlan searched the entire room, the bookshelf, the bottom of the bed, the sofa, the wardrobe, the bathroom... She checked almost every corner, but she didn't find anyone.

"Did I really hear wrong?"

After finishing speaking, Wang Lanlan bounced out of the study room. She spent half a day in Yufeng Mountain in the morning and was going to take a hot bath.

After Wang Lanlan left the study, Liu Xing was also a little dazed.

"What the hell, isn't Mr. Wang in the study?"

Liu Xing's mind suddenly became confused, he clearly saw Wang Tairan hiding in the study, why did he disappear in the blink of an eye?

"Old Wang? Elder Wang?"

Liu Xing yelled softly and searched in the study. He searched the bed, desk, shoe rack, bathtub and other places, except for the toilet, almost everything that could be turned over.

Where did people go?
beep!

Just when Liu Xing was wondering, at this moment, only a soft sound was heard, and a straight crack suddenly appeared on the wall behind the toilet in the bathroom. The wall opened like a white door, and the crack became bigger and bigger. , another small room appeared conveniently behind the wall.

In the small room, there stood a white-haired old man, it was Wang Tairan.

"This room actually has a secret room!"

Liu Xing's eyes widened, and he hurried to the secret room behind the toilet. The secret room in front of him was not big, only about fifteen square meters, and there were four bookshelves filled with books.

"Old Wang, is this your personal library?"

"Hush—" Wang Tairan made a hiss and reminded, "Keep your voice down, don't let Lanlan know that I'm here."

Liu Xing was puzzled: "Lanlan misses you a lot, why don't you see her?"

Wang Tairan sighed: "My body is failing, and I don't have much time to accompany Lan Lan. She should not be too dependent on me. She should learn to be independent."

Liu Xing originally wanted to say something like "You will live a long life", but Wang Tairan is now 98 years old, even if he lives a long life, it is within reach.

"Xiao Liu, come in, let me show you something." At this moment, Wang Tairan turned and walked towards a sealed bookshelf in the secret room.

"what?"

"The general outline of ecstasy."
