At this moment, the little tavern was very quiet, except for the old man's snoring, which was higher than the other, and only the sound of the shopkeeper's crackling and plucking plate remained.

It was also because the sky was getting darker and darker, and there were not many pedestrians on the road, and there was silence outside

。 Therefore, when a rush of footsteps approached him, the shopkeeper who was calculating the accounts instantly raised his head.

I saw a man with five big and three thick men walking in from the direction of the door, the man was wearing a cloak and a hat, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but the tall figure made him look more powerful at this moment, like a cheetah deliberately ready to attack anytime and anywhere in the night.

The shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him, "This guest officer, it's getting late now, the store has closed, if you want to drink, please come back tomorrow!" ”

The man did not pay attention to what the shopkeeper said, nor did he say anything, but walked straight to the old beggar, who was asleep on the table.

He was so fierce and imposing all over his body, and the shopkeeper couldn't help but shudder. He wanted to say something, because the old beggar was someone that the young owner had deliberately taken a good look at himself.

But I don't know why, in the face of such a powerful momentum, he doesn't know what to say. I could only shudder, and then retreated to the side.

The man stretched out his index finger and struck it on the table several times, as if trying to wake up the old beggar. It's just that he drank so much wine and slept so soundly right now, how could he wake up so easily?

After two or three times, the man had clearly given up on the idea. So he directly picked up the old beggar, and under the stunned gaze of the shopkeeper, he strode out of the small wine shop.

The night fog seemed to be shrouded in a layer of smoke in the moonlight.

At this moment, if it weren't for the fact that there were still seven or eight wine jars on the table where the old man was lying just now, he really thought that what had just happened was just a dream. Who is that unknown man? How could there be such a powerful murderous aura on his body?

The shopkeeper hurriedly closed the door of the winery, and trotted out of here with the lamp. The night was deep, and it was as if nothing had happened beneath the surface of the silence.

Yufu Village.

The rain in the second half of last night was really timely, and even the air was exceptionally fresh when I woke up in the morning. The birds are flying around in the trees, and the sound of chirping is particularly crisp and pleasant.

Fang Xiaoxiao came back from running in the back mountain, and as soon as she walked to the door of the house, she saw a person sneaking there. Thinking of the matter that she hadn't dealt with during this time, she frowned unconsciously, a pair of good-looking eyes narrowed slightly, and a sharp light flashed in her eyes in an instant.

With a bang, Fang Xiaoxiao grabbed the person's shoulder, and then she wanted to throw him into the air, but with the formation of the next action, just as the voice flew up, Fang Xiaoxiao saw the face very clearly.

It was an old, scarred face. That face was full of stories, and they were untold.

Not Xu Ling?!

After getting this conclusion, a look of surprise flashed in Fang Xiaoxiao's eyes.

Just as the figure drew a beautiful parabola in the air and was about to fall to the ground, she quickly reached out and caught him, so that he would not fall and get hurt, so that he could lie down on the ground safely.

Fang Xiaoxiao's actions were all done in one go, and from beginning to end, the old man always maintained a sleeping appearance. He didn't seem to know what had just happened, and he didn't know that he was almost killed.

He was still asleep, and even now he was standing, he was still asleep.

Fang Xiaoxiao couldn't help frowning, and shouted towards the house, "Liu Dong, Sanya, Que'er, you guys come out quickly!" ”

In the morning, they all went to the morning exercise, but Fang Xiaoxiao went to the fishing ground again, so it was only later than they came back. The sisters and brothers who had just returned home and changed their clothes quickly ran to the gate when they heard Fang Xiaoxiao's voice, and then they saw the strange old man.

Liu Dong is a boy with a lot of curiosity and a stronger sense of action. Just before Fang Xiaoxiao could say anything, he had already opened the old man's hair with great curiosity, and then saw that extremely ugly and terrifying face.

He shuddered involuntarily, took a step back, and quickly patted his chest and said, "Oh my God! It's terrible that there are such ugly people in this world! ”

"What's so scary? Don't you see that this old man's face is obviously disfigured? How pitiful he looked! You still say it's scary, do you have any sympathy? Liu Qi'er glared at Liu Dong unhappily, and then looked at the old man, her eyes full of unbearable expression.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, what's going on with this person?" Liu Qi'er asked.

"When I came back just now, I found him sneakily squatting by the wall, I thought it was the person I told you about two days ago, so I started to do it, but I didn't expect it to be an old man!"

Fang Xiaoxiao was a little lucky, fortunately he saw the old man's face clearly in time, so he didn't hurt him. Otherwise, if it really hurt him, her conscience would not be at ease.

However, there was one thing she didn't tell them. That is, she didn't know why, she always felt that the old man looked a little familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before, but for a moment she couldn't remember when and where she had seen him.

Could it be that he used to buy fish cakes from his own place?

"Sister Xiaoxiao, what do you say to do with him now?" Liu Dong and the others looked at Fang Xiaoxiao, as if they were waiting for her idea.

"Well, let's help him to our house for the time being. No matter who he is, he has to sober up first! What happened to such a poor old man at the door, I think we would all be upset! ”

Fang Xiaoxiao couldn't tell why she wanted to take in this old man.

Maybe it's because the old man is so pitiful, maybe it's the scar on his face that makes her feel uncomfortable, or maybe it's because of the feeling of déjà vu he brings to himself.

In short, after seeing this old man, Fang Xiaoxiao didn't feel any uneasy aura around her, so she made up her mind to prepare to keep this person and wait for him to wake up before making a decision. At the very least, it makes sense.
