Chapter Seventy-Six: The Great Hidden in the City
Qin Mu's eyes widened, and he shook off Xiao Kongyue's hand with a somewhat annoyed expression, and said in a deep voice: "The person with the problem is you, not me." He looked at Xiao Kongyue with a straight expression, and said in a cold tone: "Now you can go, I want to be alone for a while." ”
Xiao Kongyue's expression changed slightly, wanting to get angry. But when he saw Qin Mu's slightly pale face, he said in his heart, "Could it be that he was taken too much blood?" He didn't want to think about anything when he thought about it.
"Okay, then you can stay with her, I'll go first. Xiao Kongyue sighed helplessly, and left the room directly.
Xiao Kongyue, who left the room, had been a little uneasy in his heart, he didn't know what Qin Mu was stimulated. Suddenly, his thoughts changed: "This house is so remote, he lives here alone, it can't be that he is contaminated with some evil things, right?"
When Xiao Kongyue thought of this, he thought in his heart: "Then should I tell the city lord about this? If I don't tell him, if something happens, the city lord will definitely not let him go." He thought again: "But if you tell him, wouldn't you sell Qin Mu again." He felt that he had a hard choice, and in the end he decided that he would try to find a way for himself, so that neither side would be offended.
Xiao Kongyue thought as she walked, who should I find for this kind of thing, here, in addition to believing in Qin Mu, I really couldn't find a few people who were willing to confide in him.
Xiao Kongyue frowned, thinking about it while walking, and unconsciously found that he was about to walk to the ruined city gate. He saw from a distance that there was one more person at the city gate, in addition to the two guards, a dirty old man who came and went from time to time, and at this moment he was leaning against the earthen wall more than one person high, and the two shoes with a few holes were still on the side, barefoot and crossed Erlang's legs, and he didn't know where to steal half a chicken leg from nowhere, and gnawed on his face with oil, and even the whitish gray robe he wore was stained with yellow chanterfat.
No one knew where the old man came from, but one morning when the guards woke up, they found him asleep by the wall outside the gate, but they didn't know where he came from, and they couldn't get rid of him, and he didn't say anything when others scolded him or even beat him, so as time went by, the guards became familiar with him, and he went by his temperament.
"Look at your sad face, you must be another unlucky bastard. At this time, the old man reached out and touched a handful of oil and water stuck to his mouth, and grinned at Xiao Kongyue.
Xiao Kongyue glanced at the oily old man with a disdainful expression, and sneered unto be outdone: "No matter how unlucky I am, I am much stronger than you who have eaten the last meal and the next meal." ”
"That's not necessarily," the old man opened his eyes, nibbled on the chicken leg in his hand, and muttered in his mouth, "My old man has been crisscrossing the world for half his life, always laughing at everything in the world, never complaining about the heavens and people, as long as his heart is not distracted, nothing can bind the old man." ”
When the guard at the door heard the old man's words, he just smiled and didn't care about him anymore, just as he was full and lamenting life. Xiao Kongyue sat directly in front of the old man, looked at the old man, and asked, "You are really a divine dragon, and your whereabouts are hard to find." ”
The old man reached out and stroked a handful of his messy hair, and grinned a little inappropriately: "If you have anything to worry about, let me be happy with this old man." ”
Xiao Kongyue's expression was straight, and she asked seriously: "Old man, you are so old, you should be well-informed when you have traveled all your life." ”
"There's a fart, don't give me a whole bunch of crepes. The old man stared at him and interrupted impatiently, "The old man is most annoyed by you people who just take a breath of cold air and want to hold back your fart." ”
Xiao Kongyue was suddenly choked by the old man and blushed like a monkey's buttocks, he smiled awkwardly, and then said: "My friend suddenly looked a little strange recently, I suspect that he may have been evil, so I want to ask you about the old man." ”
The old man clasped the upturned bare foot girl in his left hand, pinched the remaining half of the chicken leg bone in his right hand, and asked with a serious expression, "How can you have such an idea?"
Xiao Kongyue said with a serious expression: "I heard that there is an evil thing that will possess a person's body and control the person's consciousness, so I am a little worried. ”
The old man looked careless, shook his hand and threw away the chicken bones in his hand, and said: "Although the earth city is a little dilapidated, there are totems that have been worshiped for generations in the city, and nothing evil can enter. ”
"No," Xiao Kongyue continued, "He lives in the big house that has been empty for a long time in the east of the city, and it is normal to have weirdness. ”
When the old man heard this, two fine lights flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly got up, put his two feet on a pair of broken shoes, and said, "Then you have found the right person today, take me over to have a look." ”
"Okay, it's just ......" Xiao Kongyue looked a little embarrassed, and her tone was slurful, "Don't say that I told you then." ”
"Well, old man, I understand," the dirty old man wiped his two oily hands on his chest, "and I know how to do it." ”
This old man did not lose to Xiao Kongyue at all when he walked, he followed behind Xiao Kongyue, did not stop too much along the way and looked around, and went directly towards the room where Qin Mu lived.
When he was a foot away from the house, the old man stopped, his eyes instantly became no longer cloudy, his dark eyes stared at the old house in front of him, and sighed with some regret: "Yesterday the flying flowers and butterflies were also sad, and the world was like a dog." ”
Xiao Kongyue didn't understand what the old man meant, and his eyes gestured: "He's in the house." The old man stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hand, and pushed the door open.
"Who are you looking for?" Qin Mu in the room looked at the person who suddenly rushed in front of him with a shocked expression, and asked very quickly. "The old man is idle, just take a walk and have a look. The old man's eyes turned, looked at Qin Mu, and said slowly.
Qin Mu saw that the old man was staring at him, he couldn't help but shudder all over, and asked in a low voice, "Old man, what are you watching me do?" The old man walked to Qin Mu's side, suddenly stretched out his five fingers and directly clasped Qin Mu's wrist, and asked in a deep voice, "Why do you have the breath of a snake?"
Qin Mu looked at the old man with a stunned expression, and said after a while, "I've seen him." "Where is he now?" the old man asked, with a frown.
Xiao Kongyue, who was outside, saw that the old man was clasping Qin Mu's arm, he hurriedly rushed into the house and stopped, "You old man, why are you doing this?"
The old man didn't reply: "You go out first, I won't hurt him, the old man just wants to inquire about some old things." He spoke softly, but with a majesty that could not be contested. Xiao Kongyue unconsciously answered, and quickly retreated.
"Close the door by the way, and you stay outside. When the old man spoke, it seemed that he had completely changed a person, and compared with the sloppy appearance before, no one would believe that this was the dirty and smelly old man with his feet buttoned up.
