"What's going on?"

The old woman was dumbfounded, full of disbelief.

"It's the wind that swept the garbage away."

Xiao Qiang said with a smile, dusting off the dust that didn't exist on his body.

"Old woman, you can rest well, just let him do something."

Li Xiao helped the old woman to sit down on the chair next to her.

Her old and frail body could barely do some simple chores.

Xiaoqiang picked up the broom, waved it in the lobby, and continued to clean.

"Thank you."

Seeing Li Xiao and Xiaoqiang's intimate actions, the old woman's heart was a little touched, and her original vigilance eased a little.

Seeing this, Li Xiao's heart also moved slightly.

Tucker Town has a faint hostility towards strangers.

The reason why Li Xiao deliberately got closer to the old woman was that he hoped to use her as a breakthrough to inquire about some clues.

Looking at the other party's slightly softened face, Li Xiao asked tentatively, "Are you living alone, what about your children?" ”

"My wife passed away a few years ago, and my son died in an accident."

The old woman sighed faintly, and her shoulders trembled.

"This is really an unfortunate thing, please mourn."

Li Xiao said comfortingly.

I didn't expect this old woman to have such a miserable experience, her husband and son died one after another, the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, and the misery in the world is nothing more than this, no wonder this old woman is alone.

The old woman's expression darkened, as if she recalled some sad past: her tone sighed: "My son Gray is a very good person, he is not only kind-hearted and intelligent, but also talented since he was a child, good at communicating with animals, so Gray is often surrounded by animals, playing and playing, and the house is filled with cheerful laughter." ”

"But God didn't open his eyes, and let my son suffer bad luck at a young age."

The old woman said with some sadness.

As soon as the words fell, a cute golden retriever rubbed the old woman with his furry head, and then licked her palm, trying to comfort the old woman's low mood.

"This golden retriever Tom is Gray's best friend, and since Gray's death, Tom has been by my side, and I don't know how I would be here without it."

Li Xiao turned his head to look at the shiny golden retriever, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

In the eyes of all parents, the child is the best, it can be seen that the old woman's heart is so sad, and this golden retriever dog pins on the old woman's thoughts of the deceased son, no wonder the old woman will cherish it so much, and the golden retriever has always been with the old woman, which can be regarded as an inseparable friendship, Li Xiao couldn't help but think.

Anyway, Gray's talent should be the affinity of animals, right?

Xiao Qiang, as the ancestor of all beasts, also has this ability, but his is the majesty of the beast ancestor flowing in his blood, which is not comparable to ordinary animal affinity abilities.

"Then I would venture to ask what accident happened to Gray?"

After hesitating for a moment, Li Xiao still expressed the doubts in his heart.

Although he knew that this question was inappropriate, he was helpless to be curious.

After hearing Li Xiao's words, the old woman's whole body trembled violently as if she had been shocked, a strange look flashed in her eyes, and then she shook her head and said: "Everything is over, just let it disappear with the past, the most important thing is that it is enough to have Tom with you now." ”

With that, the old woman stretched out her wrinkled and wizened palm and caressed Tom with a kind face.

Seeing that the old woman was unwilling to say anything more about this matter, Li Xiao did not continue to ask, but shifted the topic to Tucker Town, and asked some things about this town.

At this moment, the old woman raised her head, stared at Li Xiao for a moment, and then said, "You shouldn't be from Tucker Town, right?" ”

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

Li Xiao's pupils shrank slightly, and the essence in his eyes flickered.

Could it be that he has revealed some flaws?

But what he said just now was also very vague, and there should be no loopholes, but why did it arouse her suspicions.

The atmosphere was deadlocked for two or three seconds.

Li Xiao's expression was slightly condensed, secretly speculating about the other party's intentions, and Xiao Qiang on the side also fell into a deep groan.

The old woman was the first to break the silence, and slowly stepped forward, and said in a low voice: "No matter where you come from, I will give you a piece of advice, and do not reveal your identity to others in Tucker Town...... And don't come out at night, remember what I say. ”

The last sentence was a solemn reminder from the old woman.

"Alright, thank you for listening to me so much, everything is safe in Tucker Town, and it is best to get out of the land of right and wrong quickly, it will not do you any good to stay here."

There was a bit of gratitude in the old woman's words, as if she rarely confided in front of others.

The voice fell.

The old woman stood up from her chair with her hands propped up, trembling, and walked slowly back to her room.

Looking at the back of the other party leaving, Li Xiao looked thoughtful.

He still hasn't figured out how this old woman saw the flaw.

And what she just said, specially reminding them not to come out at night, what is the deep meaning of these words, is there any strange thing in this town at night?

However, this old woman should not have any malicious intent, otherwise she would have exposed their identities a long time ago, and she would not have reminded them so kindly.

Xiao Qiang walked to Li Xiao's side, sniffed lightly, and said uncertainly: "Master, have you smelled a strange smell?" ”

"You're talking about the strange smell of seafood?"

"That's right."

Li Xiaomo rubbed his chin and groaned slightly.

He also sensed the faint smell of seafood in the air, but this was an isolated desert place, and there was no river fresh, let alone seafood.

Is it a delusion?

However, when this idea first emerged, Li Xiao quickly shook his head and denied the idea.

No way.

If Li Xiao's own perception is wrong, it is understandable, but even Xiao Qiang, the ancestor of ten thousand beasts, has also noticed it, which means that it is undoubtedly confirmed, but this arid desert land is really difficult to connect with the ocean.

Although there are still many mysteries that have not been solved, Li Xiao feels that he has already had some first glimpses, and it should not be too far away from the truth.
