The old man was already relatively close, and he could faintly see his face, but seeing that the old man was covered with scars, he didn't know how much he had been hurt.

He carried a jar with water splashing in it, and he carried a long thing on his back, which looked like a long wooden pole.

However, this is just speculation, because the outside of the wooden pole is tightly wrapped in rags, except for the wooden pole, it may also be something else, but Ah Yao's knowledge is very shallow, she can only think that this thing should be a wooden pole.

I just don't know why the old man is carrying a long wooden pole on his back.

At this time, the old man saw that he was approaching, and before anyone arrived, he laughed first, but unfortunately his face was covered with scars, and his smile looked hideous.

Fortunately, several children were familiar with him, so they didn't feel afraid, but made grimaces and grinned at the old man: "Strange old man, are you trying to trick flax cakes again?" ”

The strange old man smiled, obviously liking these children, he raised the ceramic jar in his hand, squeezed his eyebrows and said: "I'm not a lie, I brought water over, you have to drink water when you eat, otherwise you will choke on the flax cake......"

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, looked at the snot-smoking kid and laughed twice, and deliberately elongated his voice: "For example, there is a doll who likes to gobble up when eating, but every time I am choked and roll my eyes, last time I slapped my back to save it......"

The snot-snotting child was very squirming, and when he was nervous, he suddenly 'sucked' again, and he hurriedly covered his nose with his hands, for fear of being laughed at by everyone.

At this time, the children had already surrounded the old man and asked, "Hey, hey, blame old man, why do you find water every time, Sister Ayao said that it is difficult for her to find water." ”

The strange old man seemed to be very proud, holding a pottery jar and showing off: "Because I know martial arts, martial arts like flying, I can run faster than a horse, and I can find water ...... far away."

"You brag!"

The children obviously didn't believe it, and they twittered and exposed him: "If you know martial arts, why don't you make money, you can't even afford to eat, and you come to cheat on our flax cakes every time." Blame the old man, if you are bad, you will deceive the children and our flax cakes. ”

The old man laughed, rubbed the head of a little guy, and asked jokingly: "I was exposed by you, then will you drive me away, and never give me flax cakes to eat in the future, so that my old man will starve to death on the road." ”

The children fell silent.

They are all orphans, from the group of displaced people in Chang'an, and many of their parents starved to death on the way to escape the famine, which is a memory that can never be erased by young hearts.

The children suddenly grabbed the old man's hand and tried to comfort him: "Strange old man, you don't have to be afraid, our sister A-Yao is very kind, she will give you something to eat every time......"

Speaking of this, it seemed that he was not very convincing, and the twitter added: "You bring us water to drink, we can assume that you are not a liar." ”

Among them, there is one of the kindest little girls, who is climbing the old man's thighs at this time, and said with a coquettish face: "Even if you are a liar, we will not let you starve to death, you are an old man, the old man should have a bite to eat and drink, this is Brother Li Yun... Oh no, this is what our master told us, and the master said to be kind to the elderly. ”

The strange old man laughed, took the little girl in his arms, and teased her: "I can't imagine that you know such a truth at such a young age, the old man feels very relieved, I like you the most." ”

The little girl was very happy, her face was flushed, she put a little finger in her mouth and bit it, and suddenly said coquettishly: "Strange old man, are you going to eat a few flax cakes today?" ”

The strange old man laughed again, and deliberately scared her: "I'm very hungry today, I'm going to eat five flax cakes in one go, okay, cute little girl." ”

Xiao Nan Nan was a little worried, fiddling with her fingers to calculate for a long time, and then raised her little head with a sad face, and said pitifully: "Can you eat one less, otherwise you will eat the portion of Nan Nan too." ”

The strange old man laughed, nodded again and again, and said, "Okay, good, but you have to call me grandpa, otherwise I must eat five flax cakes, otherwise I will starve to death on the road." ”

Xiao Nannan pursed her lips, and asked very innocently and curiously: "Strange old man, why do you ask us to call you grandpa every time?" ”

The strange old man reached out and touched her Qiong's nose, as if making up nonsense, and said, "Because I am an old man, the old man must be a grandfather." Even if your master sees me, he has to call me uncle......"

"You brag!"

A few children next to him shouted, chattering around him and saying, "Our master is a prince, and the prince will not call others uncle." Although you are very old, you are very poor, and the poor have to salute when they see the prince, so our master will not call you uncle. ”

"Hehehe!"

The strange old man laughed.

At this time, Ah Yao had already found a piece of grass next to the road, untied her package and spread it on the ground, she first divided a part of the flax cake according to the number of children, and then handed two pieces to Bao'er, and finally found that only one piece was left, and Ah Yao swallowed and spat while people were not paying attention.

She didn't keep this last piece of flax cake for herself, but stood there and beckoned to everyone, and shouted to the old man: "You can also come over to eat, and we will continue to hurry after eating." ”

No one noticed that a light flashed in the eyes of the strange old man, so deep and so satisfied.

This gaze flashed, and the old man instantly turned into a decrepit and senile appearance, and he walked over with great difficulty holding the little girl, and devoured flax cakes with the children.

Only A-Yao didn't eat, the girl turned her head and swallowed her saliva quietly, she was also very hungry, but she was too kind, she couldn't refuse the old man, so she gave her rations to the old man.

Only Bao'er was very shrewd, and suddenly handed over one of her own cakes, and said strongly: "Sister Ayao, if you don't eat it, I won't eat it." ”

As he spoke, he lifted another loaf of bread and said angrily, "If you don't eat it, I'll throw it all away." ”

Ah Yao was stunned.

She knew that Bao'er had a very hard temper, and if she refused Bao'er's cake, Bao'er would definitely do what she said, but she had no choice but to end up with Bao'er's cake.

Bao'er smiled at this time, suddenly turned her head and looked at the strange old man, and snorted softly: "You can fool Sister A-Yao, but you definitely can't fool me, I see that you are walking all pretending, and you won't be out of breath at all." ”

The strange old man coughed and suddenly panted, Ah Yao hurriedly pulled Bao'er to his side and said in a low voice: "Don't kill him, he's very pitiful." ”

Bao'er's little face flushed.
