Chapter 10: The Strange Old Man
Chapter 10: The Strange Old Man
The eyelids are so heavy!
This is the only feeling Li Linxi can feel.
Almost exhausted his strength, a gap appeared between Li Linxi's upper eyes.
The light around is rarely dim. Secretly Li Linxi couldn't tell where he was at all, but through these faint lights, Li Linxi saw a somewhat tattered table beside him.
I'm so thirsty!
Li Linxi didn't know if she was alive or dead, and if she did, she wouldn't even know where her consciousness was. Still, the signal from her brain was so strong that she was thirsty right now.
Water!
Water!
……
Li Linxi didn't know where she was at all, she almost didn't have any strength now, she couldn't rely on herself, so she could only rely on others. Still, her scream was almost the size of a fly.
"It's coming!"
The voice sounded almost at the same time as the sound of the door opening, and at the same time, the bright light outside the door also slipped in instantly, and Li Linxi's eyes hurt for a while.
"The water is coming!"
The slightly chubby body of the person who came was just in front of Li Linxi, perfectly blocking the light of Li Linxi's eyes that couldn't open his eyes.
"You are?"
Li Linxi took advantage of the gap between his eyelids and constantly looked at the old man in front of him.
The old man was dressed in white, although he was not tall, but he was a little fat. The white eyebrows and the long beard braided into a whip seemed to be burning with anger at Li Linxi at this time, just like the old man's eyes.
"You don't care who I am, you drink the water first. I don't want to feed you a big man water. As he spoke, he handed the bowl with water in his hand to Li Linxi.
Although she really didn't have the strength, Li Linxi was really a little embarrassed to let a stranger directly feed her water, although she was an old man, she was still afraid in her heart that the old man in front of her would plot against her.
"Oh! Look at my memory, I forgot that you don't have the strength now, you wait a while. "
The old man was also a frizzy man, and before he could finish his words, he had already put down the bowl in his hand and ran out.
Taking advantage of the old man's time to go out, Li Linxi took advantage of the sunlight that illuminated the surroundings when the old man left, and what he saw, and began to think about the questions he didn't understand.
This is a very old house, but from the objects placed inside, as well as the attitude of the old man just now, Li Linxi can conclude that she is not in the Lin Mansion now, so where is she?
"What do you think, open your mouth!"
Li Linxi was so unfamiliar with her surroundings that almost all of her energy was focused on the question of "where is this", so she didn't notice when the old man in white walked in again.
"Ah~"
His thoughts were suddenly interrupted, and Li Linxi replied with some surprise.
Before the word "ah" could be uttered, Li Linxi had already stuffed an unknown object inside.
"If you want to live, you can give me a swallow~ This is a herb that I have cultivated for a long time, and I am reluctant to use it."
As soon as Li Linxi wanted to spit out the slightly bitter unknown item in his mouth, he had already heard the old man next to him who was staring at him with big eyes saying such a sentence to himself.
Li Linxi thought about it carefully, thinking that he was invincible to all poisons anyway, so he didn't care what the old man gave him, so he planned to swallow it.
Anyway, poison won't kill her, if what the old man said is true, it can save her life! With such a thought, the medicine entered Li Linxi's stomach in an instant.
"I'm not going to poison you, why save you if I want to kill you." Looking at Li Linxi's expression of looking at death as if he were at home, the old man really couldn't help it, so he said.
"You saved me?"
Less than a moment after the medicine entered the stomach, Li Linxi had already felt the warmth from the stomach, and there was a vast power in that warmth, and the vast power continued to spread that warmth, and Li Linxi even spoke much louder.
"Or else?"
Looking at Li Linxi, whose face began to turn a little bloody, the old man casually pulled out a chair from there, and sat down against the edge of the bed.
"Wait well, and you will be able to drink water and eat by yourself in a while."
After saying this, without giving Li Linxi time to say one more word, he had already crawled on the side of the bed, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
Although he had a lot of questions to ask, Li Linxi still felt that it was not good for him to continue to bother, so fortunately, he closed his eyes and waited for him to regain some strength.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the warmth emanating from his stomach began to wane, and realizing that his strength had almost recovered, Li Linxi sat up along the corner.
Picking up the bowl on the cabinet next to him, he gurgled a few times, and the whole bowl of water was already in his stomach.
Mutter~
The water was in the stomach, but the stomach was still empty, and Li Linxi couldn't help but control it, and the lunch bell had already begun to ring.
Mutter~
Another bang.
"Are you bothered? When you're hungry, go out and find something to eat! "
"Oh." Responding casually, Li Linxi put on a shirt placed at the head of the bed and walked out with shoes on.
It's beautiful!
The moment Li Linxi opened the door, Li Linxi was shocked by what he was looking for.
The golden sunset is like a huge wheel, hanging not far away, as if it can be touched by a stretch of hand.
Although it is close at hand, it does not feel hot at all, but rather refreshing.
The hut was surrounded by towering trees, each one rising higher than the other, and the green branches seemed to have been poked into the golden sun.
All kinds of strange bird calls continue to sound from the surrounding green trees, as if this exquisite concert is being played.
"Beautiful!"
"Well, it's beautiful."
After answering the words, Li Linxi found that the old man who had been sleeping in the house had already carried a stool and sat in the courtyard.
"Hello senior, I want to ask something, can you help the junior answer."
Li Linxi hurriedly walked over, followed the plot played in the TV series, and sat down at the old man.
"Don't be so polite, just ask whatever you want."
The old man seemed to be very appreciative of this, not like before, his eyes and nose were puffed out, his tone was kind, and he even handed Li Linxi a chair and motioned for him to sit down and talk.
"I don't know where the seniors met the juniors?"
This is Li Linxi's first question, although it is not the one she is most concerned about now, but it is also one of the problems she must figure out.
"Just outside the forest in front of us. At that time, I saw the lightning and thunder in the sky, and I was afraid that something would happen outside, so I walked out of this forest and met you. "
The old man not only answered Li Linxi's question, but also explained the reason for his appearance by the way.
