Chapter 552: Encountering the Dead
When the first rooster crowed, Tang Xi also woke up.
Outside, the sky was covered in dark clouds and gray as if it were about to usher in a heavy rain.
After Tang Xi washed up, he sat in the courtyard and sat quietly.
Huang Bo pushed open the door and was not only a little surprised when he saw that it was her.
"Why doesn't the little girl sleep more?"
Tang Xi smiled faintly, "I can't sleep, I'm too lazy to lie down, just get up and sit down, why are you up too?" ”
"Didn't I see you coming, get ready to get up, go out into the street and buy some things and come back?" Uncle Huang smiled and said: "The old man is old, his hands and feet are not sharp, and he can't make ready-made, usually, my son and daughter-in-law bring me food." ”
"Don't be that troublesome." Tang Xi said: "We have hands and feet, and when we are hungry, we will find food by ourselves, how can we let you smear and buy food for our young people?" ”
Huang Bo smiled and said, "It's not far, just a few steps away." ”
Tang Xi got up and said with a smile: "You better go back and rest, I'll buy it." ”
"How?" Huang Bo shook his head, "This road is too remote, and there are often dead people walking around outside, you are a little girl, it's not safe, or I'll go old man." ”
As he spoke, he put on his hat and bent himself on crutches before leaving.
Tang Xi smiled, "Then I'll join you." ”
"If you want to go, remember to bring your umbrella, otherwise it will rain in a while." Huang Bo said: "In the winter of Dark Night City, there is often rain. ”
Tang Xi nodded, "Then you wait for me, I'll go get an umbrella and come." ”
Huang Bo nodded, "Go ahead." ”
After Tang Xi returned to the house, he took an umbrella from the space, put on the cloak again, and then walked out.
The courtyard was quiet, and Tang Xi helped Huang Bo all the way out of the small courtyard.
When Tang Xi came, because he was in a carriage, he didn't know the way, so he could only rely on Huang Bo to lead the way.
The trail is a bit long, and there aren't many people nearby.
"When you go out on the street, aren't you tired of walking such a long way alone?"
Because he was idle and bored, Tang Xi casually asked Uncle Huang.
Huang Bodao: "I'm not tired, I don't feel that it is far from the road I often walk." ”
Tang Xi smiled and looked up at the east, the sky had already begun to lighten, but it was still gray.
Seeing that the exit to the street was about to arrive, a person suddenly walked out of the side.
"Tsk, old fellow, is this your granddaughter?"
The person who came was a man in his twenties, with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, and his eyes lingered on Tang Xi.
Huang Bo subconsciously protected Tang Xi behind him, and glared at the man angrily: "It's you again, what do you want to do?" ”
"What do you want to do?" The man spat out the branch in his mouth, smiled lewdly, and said, "I've been a little tight lately, old fellow, your granddaughter should be worth a lot of money because she has fine skin and tender meat, right?" ”
Huang Bo sneered, "You really can't think of Night City?" ”
"I don't care if I can do it in Night City? Anyway, Lao Tzu is short of money. He rubbed his hands together and his gaze wandered back and forth over Tang Xi.
"Old fellow, either give me a hundred taels, or I'll sell your granddaughter to the kiln, choose one of the two, you can do it."
Huang Bo was furious, "One hundred taels? Are you dreaming? Where did I get so much money, old man? ”
"Who are you bluffing?" The man didn't believe it, "Can you have no money to live in a big yard?" ”
He had been staring at this old guy for a long time, but he usually didn't go out, and every time he went out, someone followed, which made him have no idea what to do.
