Chapter 253: A Lonely Old Man
"I don't want to go to the capital yet. "As Lord Bao expected, Xiao Li, like most martial arts heroes, doesn't care about fame and fortune, and is only willing to be with friends.www.biquge.info
"My lord, Xu Liang's task has not been completed yet, Miss Baicao is willing to help me, you better go back first! It's not safe in the mountains. Xu Liang just found out that without the figure of his old brother Bai Yunrui, he was really not at ease.
"It's okay, you let Bai Yunsheng in." Master Bao put away the sorted files, Bai Yunsheng asked Xu Liang to bring a fast horse, Xiao Li and Xu Liang got on the horse and said goodbye to everyone.
"Hmm... Uh-huh, wait! Wait! An official with a big head and a thin neck suddenly ran over and handed a bag to Xu Liang, "I'll figure out if I can meet the old man, no, I really met, this is for you, keep it for the road to eat!" ”
Xu Liang opened the burden suspiciously, there was a layer of oilcloth inside, and inside the oilcloth was a layer of oiled paper, Xu Liang glanced at Fang Shu'an suspiciously, and opened the oiled paper again, and the fragrant smell penetrated into his nostrils.
"Fang Shu'an, you are too hearty!" It is Xu Liang's favorite roast duck! He wrapped it up carefully and looked at Fang Shu'an with a smile, "Thank you!" ”
"Hmm... Mmmm, you're too polite, can you take me with you? Fang Shu'an really still has a request for Xu Liang.
"Lord Bao came out this time, the stakes are very high, Fang Shu'an, you are resourceful, let's stay and protect the adult!" Xu Liang politely refused.
"Well, who makes me work more? But I want to say a few words to this girl, can the girl take a step to speak? That Fang Shu'an actually had something to say to Xiao Li, which made her feel a little surprised.
"Okay!" Xiao Li jumped off the horse, led the horse and looked at Fang Shu'an, his head is so big, but his neck is really like a rolling pin, he is worthy of the legendary thin-necked big-headed ghost, of course, the nose is really gone, and a plaster is pasted on it.
"Girl, although I am not the first in the world, but he is also quite prestigious, but he is particularly slow to love men and women, you said that you go all the way with him, and help me take a good look at whether there is a woman suitable for him."
Fang Shu'an originally wanted to say that Xiao Li should think about it, but when he saw Xiao Li frowning, he immediately changed the topic.
"Fang Shu'an, you are thinking about Xu Liang, I am very moved, but the marriage is in a hurry, you still don't have to worry about it, you said that he is sick, poisoned, and injured, I can help, but I can't help this kind of thing." Xiao Li directly refused.
"Alas! Okay, then I'll leave me to you, and I hope he will come back completely. "Fang Shu'an has really become fast enough, knowing that there is a degree of advance and retreat, it is indeed not bad.
Nodding, Xiao Li looked at Fang Shu'an with some pity, "To be honest, I have always disagreed with Xu Liang cutting off your nose and damaging your facial features, but if this is not the case, maybe you are still just a thief, maybe there will be gains and losses!" ”
"Old Fang, I know, about this..."Fang Shu'an touched his nose and sighed, "It's also a turning point in my fate!" ”
"It's good that you understand, okay, it's time for me to go, let's meet again!" Xiao Li Fei got on the horse and waved at Xu Liang, and the two rode their horses and drove away.
"I don't know if the old man has the ability to take down this Baicao core, if I can really marry her, I will be invincible in the world..."
Riding a horse all the way, Xiao Li has always felt a little funny, she understands what Fang Shu'an means, she doesn't want to be a matchmaker for Xu Liang?
In this regard, Xiao Li is definitely not sensitive, Xu Liang is not his own dish, he is good-looking or not, not to mention, he has too many eyes, and he is not the same kind of person as his own men, if you want to control him, you can't be distracted to deal with others.
Xiao Li is not willing to give up the big forest for a tree! The two of them rode all the way, and finally saw someone at nearly noon.
Said to have seen people, but it is just a small household living in the mountains, the three grass houses are very simple, a small courtyard is surrounded by a wooden fence, and there are a lot of branches and firewood and grass.
Xiao Li took the lead in dismounting, letting Qinglong gnaw on the green by himself, she came to the gate of the courtyard and shouted inside, "Is there anyone?" Is anyone there, please? ”
An old voice came from the room, "Who?" How can there be a lot of people in this barren mountain? Wait a minute! "The sound of crutches coming from inside.
Xu Liang also jumped off the horse, looking at the trembling old man who walked out, the two glanced at each other, and they both saw unbearable in each other's eyes.
This old man looks eighty or ninety years old, with pale hair tied up on the top of his head, pinned with a chopstick, his face is full of wrinkles, his white eyebrows and white beard are so long, but his eyebrows are old, different from Xu Liang's.
"Who are you looking for?" The old man looked at Xu Liang and Xiao Li with a trembling voice, "Do you want to come in and drink saliva?" ”
"Yes, grandpa, our brother and sister went to the mountains by mistake and got lost, and we haven't drunk water for a day, please give us convenience, let's drink water, take a break and leave." Xu Liang looked at the old man with a smile.
"Then come in!" The old man pushed open the fence gate and let the two of them in, Xu Liang tied the horse to the trunk of the tree outside the door, let it eat the grass on the ground, and he and Xiao Li entered the yard.
Sitting on the small stone stool in the courtyard, Xiao Li watched the old man enter the house, holding a water scoop in both hands, most of which was handed to him, Xiao Li hurriedly took it with both hands, drank several sips, and handed it to Xu Liang.
Xu Liang drank all the remaining half of the scoop, and wanted to have another order with the old man, but found that the old man had tears in his eyes, and he looked at the scoop with his eyes.
"Old man, are you the only one?" Xiao Li picked the fruit before taking it out of the package, took a dozen, put it on the table for the old man, and asked casually.
"Alas, the old man, I am naked, I have no wife and no children, and I am living here!" The old man picked up a fruit and looked left and right, and the way he couldn't put it down made Xiao Li and Xu conscience sour.
"And how did you get through it? What about what you eat and drink? Xiao Li saw that Xu Liang asked what she wanted to ask, so she simply went into the house and took a turn.
How can there be a life in this house? A few pieces of torn clothes were placed on the stone kang, not even a quilt, and there were only some wild fruits and grass in the house, and some broken clay pots.
"Every once in a while, I go up the mountain to pick some fruits, dig some wild vegetables, and pick some grass roots or something, as long as I can eat it, I can't starve to death old man!" The old man's wry smile was deeply imprinted in Xu Liang's heart, and the old man who was so bitter gave himself the only half a scoop of water. (To be continued.) )
