Chapter 392 An Old Man Who Lives Alone
Bai Cixi decided that his idea would not be able to come true, and he had hoped that this commotion would not affect other villages, but now he was sad, he did not expect that this village had suffered such a catastrophe and was now on the verge of extinction. The so-called end of life is just such a situation, and no matter how happy the family or the prosperity of the people is, nothing can prevent the unknown crisis. The commotion caused by unknown people or groups is very widespread, and the truth that cannot be found out may be in Liao City, and eventually everyone will march towards the city.
"Hurry up and go home, your family will be worried, leave this to us." Bai Cixi dealt with the old man casually, he could no longer tolerate more innocent people missing or dying in front of him, fortunately, this crisis situation did not choose Lu Xiyuan to participate in the exploration force, otherwise he would have suffered heavy losses.
"Where else can I go to the old decay, the so-called home is just the tiles on my head." After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and left, Bai Cixi didn't notice the old man's words at first, and when he reacted, he found that the old man had walked away. The sparse and distorted back of the old man was reflected in the hot street, and the lonely existence made Bai Cixi's heart tighten, and when he thought about it, almost all the young adults and children disappeared as if they had been enchanted.
However, Bai Cixi did not dare to promise the old man boldly, saying that he could find and rescue the missing person 100%, and when he encountered real danger, even if he wanted to lie and promise a hope, he did not have that kind of power, Bai Cixi was such a powerless person. While thinking so, Jon finally came over with the girls, and the butler did not ask why, he expected the master to say what should be explained, and this kind of complete trust in the master was rare, of course, it was also a two-way street.
"You're here just in time, we need to speed up, Jon is going to investigate Liao Cheng, remember not to act rashly. We will quickly rush to the village of the little girl Lu Tianyou, and it seems that the situation should be the same there now. If we are lucky, we can see the mother and daughter, and if the situation is bad, in short, Jonn I want you to investigate it for me, and pay attention to safety. After Bai Cixi said the last sentence, he didn't even add an extra look, and rushed out of the village with the two girls and supplies.
Jon understood what this was about, and it probably didn't matter to him what the origin of his master's command was, but the urgency with which he could read it. It's not just urgency, but this owner, who usually doesn't like to say anything, actually allows himself to be more careful, which in itself is a terrible signal.
Jon headed for the road in Liaocheng. I didn't explain anything to the owner. And Bai Cixi's side also dragged Mo Le back like a cold pole. They rushed out to find Lu Tianyou, and the matter was urgent.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Mo Le is still a person who will die if she doesn't ask questions, she dares to question, and at the same time has all kinds of dangerous interests. So Bai Cixi had to satisfy her. It's just that Bai Cixi didn't answer her directly this time, clenching her hand for fear that the sudden danger would take away her companion, and at the same time, Bai Cixi said to Fu Linmei half ordered, half pleaded: "If I have an accident with Yorne, you must remember to escape with Senior Sister Mo Le, I believe you can understand." ”
Although she wanted to refute, Fu Linmei was a smart and decisive person, and I had to say that just one look was enough for her to keep pace with the leader. Seeing Fu Linmei like this, Bai Cixi's brows stretched. He was a little happy, no matter what kind of darkness he was thinking about, it was still broad daylight here.
When the time came to the evening of the day, the sun was lazily finally willing to give up Bai Cixi and the two girls, and the torture of the whole day could not prevent them from reaching the place they wanted to go. When the sun sets. The wild running had already made Mo Le couldn't help but sit on the sand at the entrance of the village, and the earth that still had residual warmth immediately made the girl raise her hands and dare not rashly support the ground.
"As for going in a hurry, isn't it not far?" Mo Le complained.
"It's not far, but if someone doesn't die." Fu Linmei's words made Mo Le a little unable to raise his head, because of Bai Cixi's crazy marching speed, Mo Le suddenly stopped after taking two steps, as if he had fallen into a swamp and never wanted to move again, the sun was still very high at that time, so everyone's movement speed was greatly reduced, and the poor horse was also a pit man.
Letting the girl stand at the entrance of the village, Bai Cixi chose to enter it alone, because her movements were too fast and agile, she looked like she was sneaking in. This village also does not feel the lively popularity, and if you want to come here, you should not have a young life. What made Bai Cixi even more unpleasant was that after searching for a long time, there would be no one on the road, and the crimson sun flame could not completely express the desolation of the entire village with the last rays of light, if it would be even more miserable here at noon, the residence was like an ancient ruin.
At this time, you can't help but knock on the door, although it is said that there are no really powerful residents in this village, but will the rash disturbance make the other party refuse to open the door because of fear, I want to come here to become like this, it is really strange that the door will be opened at night to let people in, is it necessary to stay outside all night? That means freezing overnight.
The house on the left hand side is still lit up from a window where the light shines obliquely, and if you look at the mottled door panels, you can feel the bumps on them just by looking at them. Bai Cixi raised his hand and knocked on the door panel, but he didn't expect that the part he touched was even more rotten, and under the blowing of the desert wind and dust blade, he could actually break a small piece of wood with force.
From the falling door panel, Bai Cixi could see the brightly lit figure inside, and it was obvious that the knock on the door made the person tremble slightly. Bai Cixi's position couldn't see the person's face clearly, and he also didn't know the height of the person who was sitting. After trembling slightly, the other party quietly froze in place, motionless.
Bai Cixi was listening, the guy was also listening, the wind was blowing and driving the already cool sand, thinking that the sun on the horizon might be gone, and there was no trace of the light left when the oil was exhausted. Time is like a spider that has calmed down, quietly waiting for Bai Cixi and the figure inside to move, but both sides are desperately waiting, waiting for the so-called opportunity, waiting for the so-called sound.
Suddenly, the horse's neck bell made a crisp sound, and the sound of footsteps on the sand was followed by the girl's loud shout: "Bai Cixi, you kid ran here alone and didn't call us!! ”
This girl is Mo Le, who is one year older in the grade, but her defense of this world and her overall ability are much worse than Bai Cixi. Bai Cixi's side was taken aback by Mo Le for the first time, he had always had a sense of superiority over Mo Le in the past, but now these are gone. Bai Cixi turned his head suddenly, all that was left on his face was panic and consternation, he immediately rushed over as if he saw the enemy, and pushed the girl to the ground, so that Fu Linmei, who followed closely, had to squat as if to avoid something.
"Shhhh Bai Cixi whispered his worries, whether the people in it, whether they were old or young, were not the kind of characters who were light and nervous, and they might even be dangerous people.
"Guests outside the door, the old man has lived in seclusion in the village alone for many years, so you don't have to come in with bad intentions, otherwise the old man will not do anything to you." It was indeed the voice of an elderly man, and it was a tired and old man, who could not possibly do anything to three young men.
Mo Le suddenly became agitated and pushed Bai Cixi away violently, after all, this guy was still holding Mo Le's chest like eating tofu. Leaving where the girls were, Bai Cixi got up and approached the door again, but this time he was surprised to find that the door was so badly damaged that it could be opened inside and out, and it had obviously been pushed open a little.
After thinking for a while, Bai Cixi pushed open the door and the light inside the house immediately suppressed the night outside the door, obviously the sun had only set for a short time. The candlelight in the house is the lowest level of illumination in the Atlas, and it does not contain any magical components, even a magician like Bai Cixi will choose simple daylight magic in this suburb.
The old man was wrapped in a black cloak, his beard was white, and his eyes fluttered like a blind man, but obviously this did not make Bai Cixi think so. The most distinctive feature of the old man is that there is a scar on his rusty face, which is a line from the left eye to the chin, which looks more like a decoration that is not popular with the mainstream.
Generally speaking, this dirty old man with oil all over his body did not give Mo Le a good impression, and girls would not like this kind of old man, let alone this one who has nothing to do with it. Perhaps seeing this, the old man stood up slightly and dragged his chair back a little, making enough space for other seats.
The old man said, "Sit there anyway, and I think I can entertain you if necessary." "The so-called hospitality was in front of him, and the silver kettle was supposed to be well water, although it was not as likely as in the present world, but it was not necessarily very clean, and there were incomplete breads, cakes, and some fruits that were not fresh on the table.
Bai Cixi was not in a hurry to supplies, after all, the things he brought were still saved, and everyone was carrying their own share. After sitting down, Bai Cixi motioned to the people around him to do the same, and then everyone began to eat what they brought, during which Bai Cixi wanted to give a part of his fresh food to the old man, but the old man politely refused.
In this world where no one can guarantee life, Bai Cixi will not force anything to happen or not to happen, and it is the same whether others accept or not accept their own kindness. Now the question is what's going on here, the old man has to say something.
