The spring is bitterly cold, and the morning breeze is especially severe. The bare willows fluttered weakly in the spring breeze.

Zhao's running figure is like an elf chasing the wind, running across small bridges and stone paths, with a light figure and vigorous steps; The smart bracelet on the left wrist records every data in detail and provides scientific guidance.

While passing by a withered lotus pond, an old man staggered along. Zhao Yiyi slowed down slightly.

The old man was dressed in a navy blue dark pattern round-necked and white-cuffed Tang suit, and a pair of mille-feuille black cloth shoes with white soles on his feet; In his right hand, he is holding a plain Tengzhu stick, and in his left hand is hanging a string of dark 'Buddha beads' bracelet, and his figure is slightly rickety.

The two smiled and looked at each other, and Zhao Yi was about to bypass the old man.

But at this moment, a pale red font appeared in front of Zhao Yiyi's eyes:

Temporary Mission: 50 years less struggle, 50 years!!

Mission Description: Discover a demonic blessing bracelet that contains demon essence and can charge about 50 points to the system space.

Special advice: You don't need to run today, I look forward to your performance.

Zhao Yiyi: ......

The mission window that hasn't changed anything has changed, just because of a bracelet. Oh, I thought you couldn't rub sand in your eyes, but I didn't expect you to be like this!

And, Demon Blessing? How does it sound a little creepy!

Besides, the bracelet doesn't look cheap, and the old man doesn't look like a salaryman, so why should he open his mouth to ask for it!

Zhao Yiyi's footsteps did not stop, but there was a little wave in his heart: after crossing over, he had only heard of martial arts, regardless of the East or the West.

I don't want to have any more 'demons'. What about the gods?

The two passed by, and the old man suddenly spoke, "Little friend, ask for directions." There is a 'Gangnam Pavilion' in the park, how do I get there? ”

The old man's voice was calm, like spring rain, sudden and not abrupt.

Zhao Yiyi stopped and pointed to the southeast: "Walk 30 meters forward, turn right at the intersection, and then walk about 300 meters to the south, and you will see the street sign of 'Jiangnan Pavilion'." Follow the direction of the arrow and walk another 100 meters or so. ”

The old man smiled and tapped his chin: "Thank you, little friend." I haven't been home for more than 30 years, and it's changed a lot. ”

"Oh, you don't have a smart bracelet?"

A trace of sorrow flashed on the old man's face: "Tsk...... People are old, and they just want to come out and be quiet. ”

Zhao Yiyi immediately made up for the drama of family discord and fighting for inheritance, and showed a little sneer: "Then be careful on the road." Several sections of the road were broken by tree roots. ”

"Thank you, little friend."

The old man continued to move forward, and the old man staggered.

However, after Zhao Yiyi's figure disappeared on the winding path, the old man suddenly stood up straight, his body was straight, like a cedar, how could he be the slightest old; Raising his left hand to the 'Buddha beads', he asked, "How?" ”

Look closely, this is a Buddha bead. In the position that was supposed to be a pagoda, it was a demon pendant:

Two pairs of blue-black bats encircled the sturdy body, with dark lines on the body, and a pair of twisted black horns on the head, which just formed a hanging ring.

The little pendant is beautiful, lifelike, and has a little cartoon touch. I can't see the hideousness of the demon, but I am a little naïve - this year, the demon must also know how to wear makeup, otherwise it is easy to scare the believers.

A red light flashed in the eyes of the demon pendant, and a message came directly into the old man's mind: "The soul strength meets the requirements. ”

The old man showed a wicked smile on his face, and whispered to himself: "I've been paying attention for several years, and it really didn't disappoint me!" ”

As he spoke, the old man's right thumb pressed the tip of the crutch, and after identifying the fingerprint, there was a faint fluorescence on the tip of the crutch that slowly unfolded, and after a few seconds, a picture scroll of about half a meter was formed; A map of Fukuyama Park displayed on the 'picture scroll'.

…………

Zhao Yiyi made a big circle and ran to Jiangnan Pavilion in one go.

Jiangnan Pavilion is a popular check-in spot in Fukuyama Park, especially in late spring.

The pavilion is located on a small hill, not high, barely overlooking most of Fukuyama Park. There is a couplet of "the sunrise river flowers are red and the fire is better than the fire, and the river water is as green as blue in spring", and there is a white marble sculpture of Bai Juyi in front of the pavilion.

The scenery of early spring is a bit simple, but there are also young shoots, tenaciously revealing thick dead grass; There are also a few small yellow flowers of wild vegetables in the wind.

Zhao Yiyi did not stop, bypassing Jiangnan Pavilion and continuing to move forward.

Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the front, followed by the sound of a wooden stick falling, the dull sound of falling, and a cry of pain. It's clear in this tranquil park.

Zhao Yiyi ran a few steps, but saw that the old man before was lying on the cold stone road, constantly gasping for cold air, and his crutches fell two meters away. The ground behind the old man was raised, and there was a tree root protruding from the ground in the newly broken bluestone slab.

Well? Newly broken slate and newly protruding roots? Zhao Yiyi couldn't help but take a second look.

Looking at the fallen old man again, Zhao Yiyi hesitated slightly, turned on the camera function on the bracelet and walked towards the old man. "How? Is it serious? ”

The old man raised his head and smiled bitterly, "Old man, old man...... It's okay, it's okay, just sit for a while. ”

As he spoke, he raised his right hand, but saw that the palm was a little broken and flushed; The sleeves of the shirt were turned to the elbows, and there were obvious abrasions on the forearms, and a little blood beads oozed out; The knee of the pants on the right leg is frayed, and the clothes are wrinkled.

"Do I need to call 120 or a family member?"

"Ha, you don't need to call 120 for this little thing, it's a waste of social resources. Family Phone ...... This little thing won't trouble them, don't bother them......" The old man said, his face flashing bitterness, "Can you trouble Xiaoyou to help me sit next to me for a while?" ”

There was a wood-plastic bench next to him, and Zhao Yiyi helped the old man to walk over slowly, and the old man Xuexue exclaimed in pain.

After resting for a while, the old man relieved himself, looked at Zhao Yiyi with some embarrassment, and stammered a little: "That...... Can you please send me home? Arrive...... Just go to the side entrance of the Blue Sea Residence, where there is security. ”

Looking at the old man's somewhat pleading gesture, and then looking at the old man's embarrassed appearance, Zhao Yi hesitated for a while and nodded: "Okay." ”

The blue sea courtyard is the villa area on the north side of the park.

Zhao Yiyi helped the old man up, not wanting the old man's right leg to be weak. Zhao Yiyi squatted down after a little hesitation, "I'll carry you back." ”

"Ah...... Okay, okay, thank you, thank you, it's really troublesome. ”

"It's nothing." Zhao Yiyi showed a bright, pure smile.

The old man bowed his head slightly, avoided Zhao Yiyi's smile, slowly lay behind Zhao Yiyi, and picked up the crutch with his right hand.

The nearest side door of the villa is about 800 meters away from Jiangnan Pavilion, and the two chatted without a word, and gradually became familiar.

When he was about to arrive at the side door of the community, the old man said with a slight emotion: "Because of my surname Dou, I was nicknamed by my classmates back then: Adou who can't be helped." It's been more than 50 years in a blink of an eye, and there are only a handful of classmates who still have contact. ”

"Now that I'm home, I can contact me more."

"Heh, there will be a class reunion when I just work, and it's a bit far away, so I must drive there. I didn't go. After that, there was no contact. ”

Zhao Yi nodded, put the old man down at the door, and prepared to leave.

"Little friend, wait." The old man took off the bracelet in his hand and sent it to Zhao Yiyi, "Little friend, thank you." I didn't have anything with me, so I'll give this to you. ”

"Ah, this ...... I can't ask for ......" Looking at the bracelet in front of him that was 'blessed by the devil', Zhao Yi only felt that his heart was hairy - using this thing to take the initiative to give it away?

"Take it." The old man straightened his face slightly, and couldn't help but stuff the bracelet into Zhao Yiyi's hand, "This is still a birthday gift from my little grandson, and he said that he was afraid that I would be forgetful, so he engraved my mobile phone number on the bead."

If you don't have a business card on you, just use this. It's just a few wooden beads, and it's worthless. ”

Speaking of his little grandson, a faint happiness flashed on the old man's face.

Yes, it's not worth much, but it's damn bad!

It's just that the system is frantically swiping the screen, and a pale red font of 'want, accept, and struggle for 50 years less' is like nine days falling on the Milky Way, which is endless, majestic, and enriches the entire field of vision - the kind from the sky to the ground.

Zhao Yiyi has to resign.

The old man's face became a little serious again: "It is said that the elder does not dare to resign, why, am I not old enough?" ”

Zhao Yiyi: ......

That's a powerful reason. You're old enough, you're cunning!

Looking at the subtitles that swiped the screen crazily, Zhao Yiyi still chose to believe in the system; Of course, there is not a little greed and curiosity in my heart.

Seeing that Zhao Yiyi finally accepted it, the old man said sincerely: "Every encounter in this life is a blessing that was cultivated five hundred years ago. If you have any trouble in the future, you may be able to contact me. ”

Zhao Yiyi thanked him again, and then ...... Run away; When he left the old man's sight, he couldn't wait to throw the bracelet into the system space, and he was a little relieved.

"6:33, the time is ok. Go see where he fell. ”

Coming there again, looking at the newly turned soil, the newly broken stone slabs, and the roots of the trees that seemed to have been pulled out of the ground, Zhao Yi frowned, silently took pictures and preserved.
