"So, you're here to find the Nine?"

The old man's voice was hoarse with a hint of dissatisfaction, and he looked at the old man with an apologetic face, looking at the wind on the side.

Wind glanced around the courtyard after asking the question, and then kept an eye on the communication equipment. Bai felt that it should be the wind's behavior that offended the old man.

"Uh... Hello old man, we are indeed here to find Nine. We apologize for the interruption, but thank you for your understanding. ”

The old man was 74 years old, with a scorched face and a skinny face. Only those eyes were filled with this indescribable indifference. He was cutting wood in the courtyard to be used for the sculpture, but was disturbed by the man from the watchtower and the border wall. The wind looked at the old man, and the communication equipment kept turning over the information of the village of Kasia. Trying to find the old man's name from the file.

The old man put down the saw in his hand and stood up to face the two. He looked at the two of them up and down for a while, and then looked at Bai with more kind eyes and said.

"I remember you, you're the youngest son of that guy who laid the shop early in the village. Your crepes are well done. ”

The eyes are more kind, but compared to the old man's eyes before.

The old man praised him, and Bai nodded to the old man awkwardly and politely. Their family's ancestral craft is to make crepes, and it seems that the old man has a deep impression of their pancakes. After the old man finished speaking, he looked at the wind again, and his eyes changed back to the way they had been.

"Do you have something to do? Youngster? ”

Hearing the old man's question, Feng looked at the old man with a smile, and the identity information of the old man had appeared on the screen of the communication device in his hand. This is the database of people in the village of Kasia that Vesco sent to him. The old man's file was impressively written with a string of numbers.

"Ninety-six, is the predecessor the survivor back then?"

Clang! The sawsaw fell to the ground, and a look of surprise flashed in the old man's eyes. The leaves in the courtyard kept falling, and Bai listened to the surprised expression of the ninety-six in the mouth of the wind.

"Ninety-six? That's not...."

The deserter was assigned to work in the village of Kasia as punishment, but it just so happened that the memorial stone chose him. No. 96 is the old man in front of the two, and he is also the D of the year. The old man was no longer surprised by Bai's expression, his family was well-known in this village. Notoriety, of course.

"If you are here to find my grandson, please come back, his father's unfilial son disappeared last year."

After saying this, the old man sat back, picked up the wooden saw on the ground and continued sawing. The wind is not here to find Nine. For the situation of the old man's son, Feng still knows a little. He walked straight to the old man's side, looked at the stools piled up beside him, and then took a clean-looking stool and sat down.

"Senior, of course we didn't come this time for Nine. I'm trying to ask you, senior, where did the person you just sit next to you go? ”

The old man continued to sawn the wood without changing his face, and Bai, who was originally confused, was even more confused after hearing the words of the wind.

Anyone else? Isn't this old man in this courtyard? Did you hear any other sounds when you first came in, could it be that you didn't hear them?

"People? Who else could I have in this place but me and you two young men? ”

The wood was cut by a saw, and the cut parts naturally fell to the somewhat damp ground. The old man was about to get up to pick up the fallen wood, but the wind picked it up first. The sawn timber does not look big, but it is not lightweight.

"Old man, where do you put this thing?"

The old man didn't speak, but turned his head to look at the wall. There's a lot of wood piled up there, and the wood is a bit messy. It's like someone messed with it. The wind put the freshly cut wood on top of the piled wood, and Shiro hurriedly stepped forward to arrange the wood neatly.

Seeing Bai's actions, Feng just watched, and after Shiro laid out the wood, he pointed to the fresh water stains on the pile of wood against the wall before. Bai looked with the wind, and saw that the water stains on the pile of wood took the shape of footprints.

"What is this?"

Feng looked at Bai and didn't speak but nodded.

Bai is not a stupid person either, after all, he is the guard of the border army. After a moment's hesitation, he also saw the meaning of the wind. The old man was still sawing wood, and did not seem to notice that his lie had been exposed.

Rinse! Rinse! Rinse! Wood saws are ruining the quiet atmosphere in the yard. After nodding his head, the wind looked at the wall without saying a word, and then looked at the old man not far away. I don't know what to do for a while.

"Old man, this...."

Bai was about to ask about the old man's footprints, but the wind stopped him. The old man looked back at the two of them.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just that he thinks it's hard for you to get so much wood, old man. I want you to take a break from the elderly. ”

Feng answered the question for Bai. The old man shook his head and replied in a somewhat hurried tone.

"It's nothing, it's a trivial matter. Come and sit down. ”

Sitting? Feng looked at the old man with a smile, and a cold wind blew in the courtyard.

"Old man, where are you behind the wall? Can I run out if I dodge someone? ”

At this moment, the old man suddenly threw the wooden saw in his hand at the two of them and shouted.

"Son, run! They're here to get you! ”

Shiro watched the sawsaw fly towards him, and only cared about protecting himself with his hands. Then a strong gust of air blew out from his side.

Clang! The sawsaw was blown to the ground to the side. This is the power of the wind.

There was another loud noise behind them. Shiro looked back, and the original pile of wood began to grow wildly. Trees block the fence.

Bang! The trees were all disconnected, and the air currents around the wind blew the sawdust of the trees apart.

"White, you go chase! I'm here to bully and bully the elderly! ”

Bai nodded stunned, and quickly climbed the wall through the broken place. The old man was raising his hand in Shiro's direction, as if trying to control the trees to stop Shiro, but was blown up by a huge gust of air.

Bang! The old man slammed into the pillar, feeling only a pound on his chest, and then his collar was lifted by a strong hand. The old man looked up to the wind.

"It's not a good habit to lie, Ninety-Six!"
