Chapter 499: The Old Man Who Drinks Spirits
The moonlight is faint and the courtyard is cold.
Han Mo and Red Sleeves sat on the bluestone, and they could already hear the sound of thunderous snoring coming from each room, and the two dart masters who were guarding the goods were also silent, leaning against the wall, their eyelids fighting.
Han Mo wanted to talk to Red Sleeves more, but Red Sleeves has always cherished words like gold, and in such a place, it is inconvenient to ask some words, so the two of them are speechless.
Red Sleeves is a top assassin who has undergone strict training, and she is afraid that she can stand it up after sitting for two days and two nights, so it is really a piece of cake for her to guard the goods all night, although the expression on her face is indifferent, but those beautiful eyes are extremely clear and sharp, always paying attention to the movements around.
It's just that General Han has been working very hard for several days, quite tired, sitting next to Red Sleeves, for a long time, quite sleepy, closed his eyes, and rested for a while.
Spring turns to summer, the night breeze at this time is the most mild, blowing on the body, it is extremely comfortable, and there are first-class dark people like Red Sleeves around him, Han Mo doesn't have to worry about safety, in the hazy, but he gradually sat down and fell asleep, the body gradually turned sideways, and his head was unconsciously pillowed on Red Sleeves' arm.
Just touched the red sleeves, the red sleeves body shook, the left hand was like electricity, and there was already a dagger in the hand that had been shining cold, and she was about to stab it, this was her conditioned reflex, just for a moment, she understood, the dagger stabbed halfway, and then stopped, she slowly turned her head, only to find that it was Han Mo who was in a daze, leaning on her shoulder and falling asleep.
Red Sleeves looked cold and abnormal, her willow eyebrows were frowning, since she was a child, how could a man ever dare to touch her body, but at this time, General Han touched it so naturally, he thought that Red Sleeves was his pillow.
Red Sleeves frowned and looked at Han Mo's face, his handsome face was full of tiredness, and under the light of the moonlight, he no longer had the majesty of the West Flower Hall, tired, and even a little gentle.
Looking at Han Mo's face, the cold color on the red sleeves' face disappeared and became peaceful, but Han Mo was pillowed on her arm like this, but the girl's heart was really a little conflicted.
She has a cold temperament and has always been introverted, it is difficult for a man to get close to her, let alone get close to her body, and the red sleeves have always been extremely vigilant because of her identity, anyone who gets close to her will make her feel uncomfortable, Han Mo leaning on her body like this has already made her feel an unprecedented strange feeling in her heart, but seeing Han Mo looking tired and sleeping quite sweetly, for some reason, but she couldn't bear to wake Han Mo up, a heart, at this time, it was an abnormal entanglement.
Fortunately, at this time, a burst of footsteps sounded, and Han Mo was obviously vigilant when he was sleeping, and the sound of footsteps suddenly woke Han Mo up, and when he opened his eyes, he found that he was actually pillowing on the shoulder of the red sleeve.
He glanced at Red Sleeves, who immediately looked away, still expressionless.
"There's still a spare room here!" I heard the innkeeper's voice ringing out: "If you want, you can make do with it here for the night!" ”
As he spoke, a shopkeeper led the way and led two people into the backyard.
The person in front of him was a thin middle-aged man about thirty years old, wearing ordinary coarse cloth clothes, looking at the dress, he was an ordinary person, carrying a package in his hand, but Han Mo saw it in his eyes, but he felt that the person walked quickly and walked lightly, and he was by no means an ordinary person.
The man who followed behind was wearing a black robe, and his head was covered, but it was difficult to see the man's face for a while, but when he walked, the chassis was extremely stable.
There is still an uncleaned room left in this courtyard, and a lot of miscellaneous items are piled up in it, the guy led the two to the front of the house, pushed open the door, and there was a burst of old atmosphere inside, "This is it, if you are willing to live, you can get together here for the night, if you really don't want to live, I can't do it, you must also know, there are few inns in this town, I'm afraid there is no place anymore!" ”
The middle-aged man frowned and asked, "Can't you vacate a guest room?" How can people live here? ”
Seeing that the two of them were dressed very ordinarily, the guy had no intention of serving, so he said lightly: "It's all full of people, and the guests are all asleep, is it possible to pull people out of the bed to make room for you?" When you're out and about, make do if you can, don't be so particular...... Besides, you can't afford it! ”
The middle-aged man grabbed the guy's collar and said coldly, "What did you say?" ”
The black-robed man in the back coughed, and the old man's voice sounded: "Just live here, what this little brother said is that when you go out, you can live in a place, and you don't have to pay too much attention to it!" ”
His voice was old, but it was full of energy.
The middle-aged man let go of the collar of the shopkeeper, and the anger on his face did not decrease, and the shopkeeper looked at the anger on the middle-aged man's face, although he was extremely angry in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything, but said: "If you want to live, you can live, if you don't stop pulling down, why do you do it?" He left scolding.
The middle-aged man put the burden on the ground and said, "Uncle, I'll go and clean it up first!" "Go into the house and pack up first.
The black-robed man stood in front of the door, looked around, and finally reached Han Mo's side, and saw that Han Mo was also looking at him, so he nodded slightly, which could be regarded as a hello.
Han Mo also nodded when he saw the black-robed man greeting him.
The courtyard was very quiet, only the middle-aged man occasionally made a few noises when he was tidying up in the house, and after a while, the middle-aged man cleaned up, and the black-robed man entered the house, closed the door, and rested himself.
Han Mo frowned slightly, these two people were obviously not ordinary people, especially the black-robed man, who even used the black-robed hat to cover his face, and came to the inn to stay in the middle of the night, but he didn't know what the way was from.
But it didn't take long for the door to suddenly open again, and the black-robed man came out again, stood in front of the door, looked up at the moon in the sky, and was silent for a moment, and suddenly slowly lifted his hat, revealing a head full of white hair.
Under the moonlight, Han Mo finally saw clearly that the other party was actually an old man about fifty years old, with a rather kind appearance, standing casually in front of the dilapidated door, but with a bit of momentum without anger.
The old man took off a leather bag from his waist, unplugged it, raised his head and took a sip, then looked at Han Mo, a smile appeared on his face, and he shook it with the leather bag in his hand, looking at the meaning, it seemed that he was inviting Han Mo to drink in the past.
Han Mo smiled faintly, got up, stepped forward and arched his hand, and said with a smile: "It's getting late, the old gentleman should rest early!" ”
The old man smiled and handed over the wine bag, Han Mo took the wine bag, hesitated, and saw that the old man was smiling very kindly, so he took a sip, and then returned the bag.
This wine is actually very hot and full of flavor, like a fire, but it is a strong wine that Han Mo rarely drinks.
The old man smiled, "As you get older, the more silent you are, the more you can't sleep." When the moon is in the sky, you can kill time by drinking a little drink on the moon! ”
Han Mo smiled: "Old gentleman Yaxing is really tall!" ”
"It's not Yaxing!" The old man actually sat down in front of the door, and didn't care about the dirt on the ground, and asked, "Little brother, are you also a member of this convoy?" ”
Han Mo remained silent and nodded slightly.
"Where is this going?" The old man asked softly: "If it is inconvenient to say, it will be assumed that the old man did not ask!" ”
Han Mo smiled and said, "Where are you going, old man?" ”
The old man stroked the white beard under his chin and said with a smile: "That's it, the old man doesn't ask you, you don't ask the old man, everyone meets in Pingshui, say a few words, and it's good to be a fate!" ”
Han Mo said softly: "It's not that I want to hide it from the old man, it's just that we are in charge of things and let us talk less and do more when we are walking, and don't say more when we shouldn't say it...... This is my first time traveling, so I don't dare to break the rules! ”
The old man nodded slightly: "It's a good thing to abide by the rules, there are no rules, there is no circle, in the world, everything must be a rule!" ”
Han Mo smiled and said, "The old gentleman speaks...... Seems to make sense! ”
The old man laughed, looked at the cars, and said, "Little brother, although it is inconvenient to ask you where you are going, but ...... You seem to be from the capital, right? ”
Han Mo didn't hide it, nodded and said, "It's from the capital!" ”
The old man stroked his beard and said, "I haven't been in Beijing for many years...... You're from Beijing, do you know what's going on in Beijing lately? The old man likes to listen to those lively things the most, in the dead of night, you and I are idle and bored, why don't you talk to the old man and talk about things in Beijing? ”
Han Mo sighed: "Old man, I'm afraid of your jokes, I'm just a little guy, I just work all day, I really don't know what ...... is going on!" ”
A strange light flashed in the old man's eyes, and he smiled, and said, "You little brother, you are tight-lipped and cautious...... Yes, sometimes you have to do things that way! ”
Han Mo smiled slightly, looked up at the sky, and said, "Old man, you better rest early...... The elderly go to bed early and get up early to live a long life! ”
"Longevity?" The old man stroked his beard and sighed: "The world is bustling, hundreds of millions of living beings, but there are many people who want to live a long life, but ...... What the old man asks for is not to live long! ”
"But I don't know what the old gentleman is asking for?"
"Peace of mind!" The old man smiled and said, "But I just want peace of mind!" ”
Han Mo blinked, shook his head and said, "The old gentleman is talking too profoundly, kid...... The kid doesn't understand! ”
The old man smiled faintly and got up, "Little brother, when you have experienced a lot of things, you will understand what the old man said." With a sigh, he said no more, turned and went into the house, and then closed the door.
Han Mo squinted his eyes, and the light in his eyes flashed, this black-robed old man was really interesting.
