Chapter 364: Crazy Old Man
Lin Yue thought that he would say something earth-shattering, but he didn't expect the shopkeeper to just nod and return to his previous indifference. Seeing this, Lin Yue had no choice but to give up, and while the guy went to prepare hot water, the three of them had a simple meal.
In such a cold place, it is a pleasure to be able to soak in a hot bath comfortably. However, the moment she stepped out of the bathtub, Lin Yue still felt the city's deep malice towards her.
"Knock knock." There were two soft knocks outside the door, followed by the man's inquiry, "Girl, do you need to change the barrel?" ”
After Lin Yue got dressed, she opened the wooden door, looked at the sneer on his face, and just replied lightly, "Thank you." Seeing him busy pouring water, his eager attitude remained unabated, which made Lin Yue a little more confused.
"Good dreams, guest!" The wooden barrel in the house had been taken away, and the little guy said with a smile, and was about to turn around and leave, when Lin Yue opened his mouth to stop him, "I have some questions I want to ask the guy, can you ask the guy to wait for a while?" ”
After about half a pillar of incense, Lin Yue learned about the situation in Beicheng from this little guy.
Beicheng is further away is Fengying Kingdom, because the climate here is humid and cold all year round, so natural factors have also become a major dilemma for the survival of Beicheng residents.
Lin Yue had been to the border city in the south once in his early years, and although it was not as prosperous as the city, it was much better than here.
"Thank you." After sending the little guy away, Lin Yue was just panting proudly, it was too cold here, and her whole body was stiff when she spoke.
Stripped off her robe, Lin Yue almost stepped onto the bed in a few arrow steps, but the quilt was cold but she still didn't hesitate to get in.
Every moment, steady breathing came from inside the house, and on a big blue tree outside the window, a black shadow jumped quickly, leaving only the shadows of the swaying branches reflected on the stone road.
The next day, Lin Yue was awakened by a loud noise.
"Please, old man, let's go quickly, it's better to beg elsewhere than to lie here, we really don't have the money to give you!" The guy said helplessly.
In front of him, there was an old man with gray hair and ragged clothes.
In such a cold weather, he only had a dirty cloth on his body, not to mention the holes that could be seen everywhere in his clothes, and the cold wind poured into that weak body, just looking at it was unbearable.
The old man's face was covered by his long messy hair, and he couldn't see clearly, but his faint begging voice clearly reached the ears of the people in the store.
"Please, please......" the old man stammered.
Although the man was helpless, he was not slow to catch up with people, "Hurry up, old man, I've told you many times, don't come to our inn again, are you deaf or what?" If you come back next time, don't blame us for throwing you out. ”
"What's wrong with this old man?" Su Xin had just come downstairs when she saw this scene, and her eyebrows wrinkled almost instantly.
"Huh? Girl. The guy was stunned for a moment, but he opened his mouth to persuade: "Girl, don't worry about this matter, this old man has come back twice in three days, and our inn doesn't have much business, and now it's all lost for him!" ”
Not only that, this old man doesn't want to leave no matter how you persuade him! "If I let the shopkeeper see it after a while, I will be punished!"
"Please, little girl, don't be nosy." The man cried and begged, but found that Su Xin didn't set his eyes on him at all. "What trouble are you in, sir?"
Su Xin asked softly, but her concern fell on the old man's ears, but he was surprised to hear it. 360 Literature Network
A pair of eyes appeared behind the seaweed-like messy hair, and before Su Xin could take a closer look, the light quickly disappeared. "I, I ......"
"Girl, the little one sincerely advises you, this old man is a madman, his daughter suddenly disappeared five years ago, and he has been mad since then. Begging everywhere for someone to save his daughter, begging from house to house for money, and muttering something in his mouth, if he has money, he can go to redeem his daughter. So girl, leave him alone, if he gets pestered by you for a while, it will be troublesome! ”
The man's eyes were full of helplessness, and he knew that he hadn't lied to himself, and just wanted to ask out loud, when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Why is that?" Lin Yue strode over, took off the long skirt, and Lin Yue only wore a simple cloth dress. The material of cotton and linen is vaguely visible with a layer of velvet on the upturned neck.
The hair is simply curled at the back of the head, which is really casual and chic.
She looked straight at the old man, and finally landed on the face of the shopkeeper, "Dare to ask man, why is this?" Lin Yue only asked out of subconscious sympathy, and after a long silence, she noticed that the guy was stunned.
"Hello?"
Lin Yue raised his hand and shook it in front of the guy's eyes a few times, only to see that he came back to his senses, and two traces of shame and crimson were clearly visible on his face, like clouds on his cheeks.
Oh my God, this girl is so good-looking!
Thinking like this, the guy couldn't help but raise his eyes and look at Lin Yue a few times. Bright eyes and bright teeth, white skin and beautiful appearance, a pair of big and bright eyes sparkling, like stars in the night, people can't take their eyes off.
Lin Yue didn't wear makeup, but she still used the rouge she carried with her to change some of her eyebrows.
Less noble on weekdays, and with this burlap clothes, like an innocent little girl in the farm, the two shallow pear vortices seem to hide the magic that fascinates people.
"Hey, don't misunderstand, the little one really thinks about this girl. That old man is a madman, maybe he will suddenly go crazy and hurt people, which has a precedent in our northern city, so the little one dares to say so. Xiao Er Nuo said, and from time to time he floated on Lin Yue's face while talking.
"Hurt?" Lin Yue leaned down and took a few closer glances at the old man.
Although his body was dirty and smelly, the old arms exposed under the half-cut sleeves were clearly visible. It can't even be called an arm, and it's not an exaggeration to describe it as skinny.
Seeing her behaving like this, the guy was a little anxious, but he couldn't resist Lin Yue's voice, and asked, "Old man, it's cold on the ground, you can stand up first." ”
As she spoke, she lifted the old man up.
Seeing that his legs were still shivering, his trousers had been soaked with dampness on the ground.
Regardless of Xiao Er's obstruction, Lin Yue insisted on sitting down in the nearby inn, there were already a few bowls of porridge and side dishes on the table, Lin Yue knew that it was prepared by Huang Bo, because there were no other guests in this inn except them, and after looking around, he didn't see Huang Bo's figure.
"If you don't mind, sir, eat." Pushing the porridge in front of him down in front of the old man, Lin Yue raised his hand and found Xiao Er and ordered a few dishes.
There was very little meat in the store, so Lin Yue raised her hand and ordered all the meat.
"It's your pay." Su Xin raised his eyes and threw over a touch of gold coins, which made Xiao Er very happy. Holding that gold coin, biting and gnawing, he finally became honest.
