Chapter 69: The Bandit (Part II)
"Ah, old man, I miss you to death."
This old man obviously had an extraordinary relationship with Ziyou, and from his words, Ziyou also felt that he had no ill will towards him.
Immediately brought himself into the identity, pretended to be intimate, abandoned Xie Mu, and rushed towards the old man, ready to give a big hug to enhance the relationship between him and the old man.
Although this old man looks sick, he is the leader of this group of bandits, and now that they are surrounded by bandits, they must be well suited.
It wasn't until Ziyou got closer that the old man saw Ziyou's appearance clearly, his eyes widened, and he said incredulously. "You...... You...... Is it You'er? ”
"Yes, it's me, You'er." Azusa nodded.
The old man then looked at Xie Mu, who was lying on the stone and was dying, and exclaimed again. "That's Mu'er?"
Could that be wrong?
What makes the old man incredible is that in the memory of the old man, Xie Mu and Ziyou are not very harmonious, and they are awkward when they meet, but almost every time Xie Mu takes advantage, so when he sees the two young people, he takes it for granted that the person above is Xie Mu and the person below is Ziyou, but this time, after not seeing each other for more than a year, the roles of the two of them have reversed, which has to make the old man look sideways.
"yes, I'm messing around with Komaki." Ziyou said that he didn't plan to tell the old man about Xie Mu's intention to assassinate himself with poison for the time being, and in the case of Xie Mu's good disguise, casually informing, it would be counterproductive.
"Yes, I was joking with Gongzi You." The sluggish Xie Mu seemed to think the same way, he looked much better than when he was poisoned just now, so to speak, he licked the antidote on the stone before, although the amount of licking was not much, but it should be able to achieve the purpose of detoxification.
"Daddy! That slut just now wanted to assassinate Brother Xie Mu with poison! "Ziyou and Xie Mu didn't tell the truth, but it doesn't mean that Miss Ya didn't tell the truth.
hurriedly confided in Ziyou's crimes.
But just as Ziyou had a hunch, casual whistleblowing would only increase the old man's disgust, and after hearing Miss Ya's words, he directly stomped his feet and said fiercely to Miss Ya. "Bastard thing, although You'er and Mu'er have contradictions, but it is impossible to involve life and death, how can you sow discord here, your father hasn't investigated where you have run away in the past few days, and you have stolen all the armor of your father, you see how you still have a little girl's appearance, it is really unfilial for a woman!"
Miss Ya told her self-righteous truth, but she was reprimanded by the old man, and almost wanted to cry, twisting her face and trying to run away, but was stopped by the bandits on the side.
"Punish you for ten days of confinement in the cottage!"
This is the punishment that Miss Ya received, and Ziyou listened from the sidelines, gloating at Miss Ya and gesturing with her mouth...... Should!
In this regard, Miss Ya could only stomp her feet angrily and looked at Xie Mu to ask for help, but Xie Mu shook her head, and she became that decent appearance in front of everyone. "Ya'er, you ran out of the cottage at will, but there was no confinement, ten days of confinement, Uncle Cheng's handling was extremely proper."
After dealing with Miss Ya's affairs, the old man turned to look at Ziyou, who immediately grimaced and pretended to be serious, I don't know if the old man noticed.
The old man looked at Ziyou from top to bottom, and in the dim old eyes, there seemed to be a trace of essence, and the wrinkled skin was full of joy under the light of the fire, as if Ziyou's arrival made his whole person feel uplifted. "You'er, it's been more than a year, and you seem to be a little more energetic than before."
From their previous conversation, Ziyou already had a first impression of this old man, he was Uncle Cheng in Xie Mu's mouth, and he was Miss Ya's father, but who was he?
"Uncle Cheng too, I haven't seen you for a year, and I'm younger and stronger than before!"
Actually, this is just a compliment from Ziyou, this old man looks like he is sixty or seventy, but his actual age, Ziyou doesn't feel very big.
However, now he looks extremely old, either he is sad like the sea, and he is gray overnight, or he has some kind of disease, and he is decrepit before he grows old.
Lao Cheng knew this well, and after Ziyou finished speaking, he sighed softly, raised his head, looked left and right, saw the small rice, and beckoned to him. "Miss Ying, come here, let Uncle Cheng take a look."
Maybe Lao Cheng's appearance is indeed amiable, Xiao Fan is not afraid, obeys Lao Cheng's meaning, and approaches to him.
After Lao Cheng saw the small rice, the tenderness in his eyes lingered, and he said with a smile. "Not bad...... Yes, she looks more like a big girl than before, but she is much more sensible than Ya'er. ”
In Lao Cheng's eyes, a woman should be as quiet as a small piece of rice, not talking much, even if she laughs, she has to keep her mouth shut.
After greeting Ziyou and Xiaomifan, Lao Cheng peeked around again, as if he was looking for someone, but in addition to Ziyou and Xiaomifan, there was only a white face and a nightingale left, but the two of them were obviously not the people Lao Cheng was looking for.
The more he searched, the more fruitless he was, and Lao Cheng's originally happy expression gradually became cold.
Until the end, Lao Cheng fell his eyes on Ziyou and asked. "You'er, where is the eldest brother?!"
The voice was a little trembling, the words were a little excited, even if Ziyou appeared in front of him, he didn't have such a reaction, obviously the eldest brother in his mouth was much more important in his heart than Ziyou.
Even Lao Cheng can be kind to Ziyou, because of the eldest brother in his mouth.
This eldest brother is the old beggar in the story, and he is also Ziyou's father in this world.
The old beggar is still the eldest brother of this old Cheng, and Ziyou sorted out the relationship between them.
"Father......" Ziyou stumbled, and Lao Cheng was like a helpless child, waiting for Ziyou's next words.
"Separated...... Maybe ......" Ziyou is not sure if the old beggar is dead, no one alive, no corpse is dead, Ziyou can't assert yet, the only thing he can do is to tell Lao Cheng the story he heard from Xiaomi.
When Lao Cheng heard that the old beggar was being chased and killed, the whole person glared angrily, the dry palms of the green tendons burst out, clenched his fists excitedly, and said to himself fiercely. "It must be a damn officer! Definitely! ”
Until the end, Lao Cheng heard from Ziyou's words that although the old beggar's whereabouts were unknown, he was very likely to be dead, and his whole person was a little out of control......
Out of control...... Kneeling towards the sky, the furrow on the old man's face filled with his tears, he looked at the sky and yelled. "Big brother...... Lao Cheng can't stand you...... I'm sorry you ......."
He blamed himself and beat his chest, and the thieves behind him couldn't help but step forward to comfort him, but no one could say anything to move him.
Lao Cheng was just talking to himself. Fall on the ground and grasp the grass with both hands. "If Lao Cheng could personally bring someone to pick you up at that time, there would be no such thing...... It won't ...... It's all Lao Cheng's fault...... Eldest brother...... It's Lao Cheng who hurt you......"
Afterwards, Ziyou learned that when he learned that the old beggar was going to take Ziyou and Xiaoxiao to Lao Cheng in those days, Lao Cheng was ready to greet him in person, but at that time, Lao Cheng happened to have a relapse of stubborn illness and passed out, which is why such a thing happened.
Everything is a coincidence.
Ziyou even felt that all this was deliberately arranged, thinking of this, Ziyou looked at Xie Mu on the side, and the latter looked indifferent, and did not seem to react too abnormally.
The more normal he is, the more abnormal things are in it.
