Chapter 0269 - Just Hungry
The calm yard was a little uneasy because of Fang Jue's intrusion, and some chickens waiting to be fed began to make cackling noises and scurry around Fang Jue.
Where can Fang Jue satisfy his hunger just by drinking water, seeing this big fat chicken scurrying back and forth, Fang Jue's eyes were a little straight, as if he saw roast chickens dancing in front of his eyes.
Just when Fang Jue was thinking about it and hesitating whether to keep his bottom line and be a chicken thief, Fang Jue suddenly felt that there were steps approaching him, and before Fang Jue could turn around, he felt that his back was smashed by a stick.
"Beat you chicken thief."
Fang Jue reflexively held the wooden stick that was about to attack again, only then did he see that it was an old man with gray hair, this old man's strength was not small, Fang Jue only felt a faint pain in his back.
Fang Jue held the wooden stick, and the old man wanted to resist desperately, but he couldn't snatch the wooden stick from Fang Jue's hand at all.
As soon as Fang Jue let go and wanted to explain something, the old man suddenly fell to the ground.
"I, I'm not a chicken thief, I'm just hungry."
This is Fang Jue's truth, his gurgling stomach can prove it.
"Grandpa, how are you?"
At this moment, a woman in coarse cloth rushed to the old man's side, helped the old man, and then looked at Fang Jue viciously.
The girl's watery eyes, melon seed face, and willow eyebrows were wrinkled, and there was no valuable accessories to embellish, but it looked fresh and elegant.
As soon as Fang Jue wanted to explain, another little girl ran over and called Fang Jue with a broom.
"Let you bully grandpa, let you bully grandpa..."
A little girl who was no more than Fang Jue's shoulders high, about eleven or twelve years old, slapped Fang Jue with great anger.
"Xiaoshuang, come here."
The old man suddenly saw that Fang Jue had a knife wound on his body, and he realized that if he angered the person in front of him, he was afraid that the other party would jump over the wall in a hurry and do something unfavorable.
"You, what do you do?"
The more the old man looked at Fang Jue, the more he felt that Fang Jue was unusual, because he saw a dagger on the ground.
"Don't be afraid, I'm just passing by, I'm a little hungry and want to find something to eat, I have money, I can buy it."
Fang Jue saw that the old man was afraid of himself, and the two girls, one big and one young, also pulled the old man's clothes, looking a little nervous.
Fang Jue took out a silver ticket from his arms, one hundred taels of silver tickets, for this old man's family who lived here all the year round, he had never seen such a large silver ticket, but he didn't dare to accept it.
The old man heard Fang Jue say that he only needed to eat, so he said to the woman beside him, "Xiaoyu, you go and get some food." ”
The girl whispers yes, then runs to the kitchen, and in a few moments, brings out a bowl of rice and a pickle.
"Give."
The girl named Xiaoyu handed it to Fang Jue, and then stepped aside, and the three of them looked at Fang Jue like this, hoping that Fang Jue would leave as soon as he ate.
Fang Jue was not polite, he sat on the stone table and devoured it, until finally Fang Jue was full of food and drink, and then Sven wiped his mouth.
Fang Jue walked up to the three of them, bowed deeply to express his gratitude, and then handed the silver ticket to the old man.
"Excuse me."
Fang Jue's polite appearance is also very consistent with his appearance, more like a down-and-out scholar, and the dagger on the ground is probably just a self-defense thing. The old man was slightly relieved, he took the silver ticket, and then watched Fang Jue leave.
When Fang Jue was about to leave, he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and there were quite a few people listening to the sound. Fang Jue hasn't rested well at the moment, I'm afraid he won't be able to resist the attacks of many people.
Fang Jue not only didn't go out, but closed the courtyard door. Then he turned back to the surprised eyes of the three old men in the courtyard.
"Can you borrow a place to hide?"
Fang Jue had no intention of being forced, and his attitude was very sincere.
The old man looked at Fang Jue's injuries, could it be that he was chased by the enemy! The old man saw that Fang Jue had a kind face, and there was no trace of deviance from the beginning to the present, so he decided that Fang Jue should not be a strong man, so he agreed to let Fang Jue go into the house to hide.
"Xiaoyu, take him to the firewood room." The old man finally spoke.
As soon as Fang Jue arrived at the firewood house, he heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the courtyard stop. With a clang, the courtyard door was brutally opened.
The old man saw three strong men swaggering in with swords.
"Hey, old man, have you seen a young man pass by?" One of the big men scolded the old man angrily.
"No, I didn't see it." The old man was a little scared.
"I really didn't see it and still wanted to fool us, I can pick up a sword outside the yard, you old thing who doesn't know whether to live or die, do you know the consequences of fooling me."
"Here's what you're eating?"
A man with an elder's face with countless spots pointed to the dishes and chopsticks on the stone table in the center of the courtyard.
The other person had already started walking into the room to search.
"You're the only one in your house?" One person asked.
"In addition to the old decay, there are also two granddaughters." The old man did not dare to lie, because a man had already walked towards the kitchen.
"Oh, then, there are three people in your family, so why only have a pair of dishes and chopsticks, you are lying."
The old man was deceived by this person, and his inner defense line immediately knelt down nervously: "The strong man, please let go of the old man." ”
At this moment, a man had already brought out the two sisters in the kitchen.
"Hehe, there are really three of them."
"Will there be a fourth person in the kitchen?"
"You two go in and search again."
The strong man with spots on his face ordered the other two, and then the two entered the kitchen, and then stuck their swords in the kitchen firewood, and if there were people inside, they would be stabbed to death.
The three people hugging each other in the courtyard were a little nervous, because they really hid Fang Jue in the firewood pile in the kitchen.
"Nope." The two of them searched once, came out and replied.
"It looks like you're not lying, but your granddaughter is pretty cute."
The person with spots on his face had been staring at the girl named Xiaoyu for a long time, and he walked towards the three of them with a smile on his face, and suddenly stretched out his claws and grabbed the slender wrist of the Xiaoyu girl.
"Let go of me, grandpa save me." Xiaoyu was very scared, and no matter how hard she struggled, she still couldn't break free from the other party's control.
"Please, let her go, I'll kowtow to you."
The old man kowtowed helplessly and begged to be spared, but the other party ignored him at all.
The other two men each set up a hand, ready to drag the girl into the house. The old man saw that his prayer could not be fulfilled, but he could not watch his granddaughter being ruined, so he picked up the wooden stick on the ground and rushed forward, he did not think that he was only killing himself by hitting the stone with an egg, but he still rushed forward without hesitation.
A wooden stick that is not thick against a strong man is a stick, although the stick has some strength, but against the strong three, it can't be much aggressive at all.
The old man's behavior, not only could not save his granddaughter, but angered the other party, before the old man slapped the second stick, a bright blade stabbed into the old man's body, the old man still wanted to continue to save people, but he seemed to be weak, and he was kicked to the ground again.
