Chapter 54: Old and Helpless

The old man was carrying a snakeskin bag and appeared to be in his sixties.

The clothes he was wearing were tattered, and his body was also very emaciated, and he looked like he had been malnourished for a long time.

"Excuse me, are there any empty bottles?"

When the old man came to the tavern, he didn't dare to come in, but stood at the door and asked cautiously.

Seeing him, Xie Wuyu suddenly felt compassion, and the old man looked like the kind of poor old man who was old and helpless and usually made a living by picking up garbage.

Now that he is an undead, he may not even have a corpse to collect.

So, he glanced at Feng Zhengsu right away, and asked him with his eyes how to arrange it?

Feng Zhengsu looked at the old man, nodded slightly, and motioned for him to come in first.

"There are a lot of empty wine bottles, old man, you can come in first."

Xie Wuyu hurriedly said.

"So, can you give it to me? I'm not going in, don't dirty your place. The old man's face was happy, and he tried to ask, then glanced at the tavern, and said again with some embarrassment.

"Here you go, it's all for you, you sit and rest for a while, it's okay, I'll clean it up later." Xie Wuyu felt a little sorry for the old man.

"No, I'll just wait at the door." The old man rejected Xie Wuyu's kindness, scratching his head like a child.

Xie Wuyu's eyes widened, and he pretended to be angry and said, "If you don't come in, I won't give you an empty wine bottle." ”

"This ...... All right. ”

The old man was stunned, but he could tell that Xie Wuyu was kind, so he hesitated, put the snakeskin bag outside the door, patted the soil on his body, and then entered the door.

"Sit."

Xie Wuyu stretched out his hand and motioned for the old man to sit casually.

The old man looked around a little crampedly, and then carefully sat down on the somewhat worn seat at the door.

"You haven't eaten yet, I'll give you a whole bite first."

Xie Wuyu didn't ask the old man's opinion, so he went directly to the back kitchen, turned over the refrigerator, and made a bowl of tomato and egg noodles.

"Xiao Yu'er is quite sympathetic."

Bai Sanniang, who was sitting at the bar, saw this scene and whispered.

Feng Zhengsu smiled and said, "That is, if I don't have any sympathy and a sense of justice, I won't take him in." ”

"I see that Xiaoyu'er was almost fooled by you, and in the afternoon, the light people were busy."

Bai Sanniang chuckled and laughed.

"I'm busy, too." Feng Zheng Su Road.

"Cut, you've mixed a total of three glasses of wine." Bai Sanniang said with some contempt.

Feng Zhengsu said confidently, "I'm the boss, I didn't have employees before, so I could only be busy myself, there are no employees here, and I won't be allowed to rest." ”

"In the past, you didn't open the door at all in the afternoon to do business, and you picked up customers once in the evening for three days, were you tired?" Bai Sanniang directly pierced him.

Feng Zhengsu was speechless, so he didn't give face to the boss.

So, from under the bar, he took out a plate of melon seeds, changed the topic, and said: "Xiao Yu'er took the initiative to rob me of my work, let's eat melon seeds and listen to the story tonight." ”

"Hmm."

Bai Sanniang took out another fruit bowl and said, "It's rare that you can also be a melon-eating crowd." ”

……

As the two chatted quietly, Xie Wuyu quickly made tomato and egg noodles.

"Old man, eat it while it's hot."

He walked directly to the old man and said.

"You're a good man, young man."

The old man was moved and wiped tears from his eyes.

However, he must have been hungry too, so he ate unceremoniously after speaking.

As a result, halfway through eating, my eyes began to glance at the wine on the counter.

Xie Wuyu noticed the old man's small movements, and immediately turned around and took a bottle of beer, and then handed it to the old man: "If you want to drink it, just drink the whole bottle." ”

The old man smiled awkwardly and didn't answer.

Xie Wuyu was just about to say that he would not accept money, and that I would invite you, but before he could say anything, he heard the old man say, "Can you have something white?" ”

Xie Wuyu was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "Okay, then I'll give you a cup of white." ”

"Poof!"

Seeing this scene, Feng Zhengsu and Bai Sanniang almost squirted out.

Xie Wuyu glared at the two of them, and angrily took a bottle of Jiang Xiaobai and sent it to the old man again.

The old man's eyes lit up suddenly, and he couldn't wait to open it, but he didn't ask for the cup, he directly poured a big sip into the bottle, and then smashed his mouth with satisfaction before starting to eat noodles again.

"I didn't see it, old man, the amount of alcohol is good."

Seeing his actions, he was an old wine worm, Xie Wuyu immediately smiled and laughed.

"Hehe, I don't have any other hobbies in my life, so it's just this one."

The old man smiled.

Xie Wuyu felt that he could start, and immediately sat down in front of the old man, and then asked, "Old man, seeing that you are not young, why did you come out to pick up wine bottles?" ”

"I'm sixty-eight years old, and I'm going to starve to death if I don't come out to pick up the bottle." The old man said with a sigh.

Xie Wuyuxin said that you are dead, although you don't look like a starving ghost, it is estimated that your life before life was not easy.

"Don't you have children?" So, Xie Wuyu asked.

Hearing this question, the old man was stunned for a moment, poured a sip of liquor with a very lonely expression, and then sighed and said: "Alas, I have a daughter, but I am not filial at all, and I don't care about my life or death." ”

"Hmph, I hate unfilial people the most, what's wrong with my daughter, even if she marries, she has to support the elderly!"

Hearing this, Xie Wuyu suddenly became anxious and said indignantly.

The old man waved his hand, "Forget it, who made my life miserable and gave birth to an unfilial daughter." ”

Xie Wuyu frowned and said, "What's your daughter's name, where does she live?" I can talk to her. ”

The old man was silent, shook his head and said, "I don't know where I live, she has been avoiding me, her name is Li Shui'er." ”

"I don't let you know where she lives, it's really ruthless." Xie Wuyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said.

The old man looked bitter, "Who said it wasn't, I was in my forties, she was a woman, but I was so happy, I was fed milk powder, changed diapers, and pulled her to grow up with a handful of and urine, and when I grew up, I spoiled her like a little princess." ”

Speaking of this, the old man's words became more, as if recalling the past, and he began to speak.

"Although I don't have much money, I am willing to buy her delicious food and beautiful clothes, and send her to learn to dance and play the piano.

"It's not good to spoil your children too much." Xie Wuyu didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh with emotion.

The old man nodded and said, "Yes, it's all because I doted on her too much, and I relied on her for everything, but I was old, I couldn't work, I couldn't make money, and she began to dislike me." ”

Xie Wuyu asked a little angrily, "Then do you know that she works there?" Go to her workplace and look for her, see if she knows if she's embarrassed! ”

The old man sighed and said, "I heard that she works in a large company, I went to look for her, but the security guard stopped her from entering." ”

"Then you can wait at the door."

Xie Wuyu continued.

"I waited, but there was an underground garage in the office building, and she drove away from the underground garage after work."

The old man said helplessly.

"Then she won't give you any living expenses, it's really for nothing!"

Xie Wuyu said angrily.

The old man smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it, I can still move, pick up empty wine bottles and waste cartons every day, and I can eat, so I won't trouble her." ”

Xie Wuyu stood up angrily and said, "What if you get sick and make a disaster or something?" Also, where do you live now? ”

The old man took another sip of wine and said: "My old bones are okay, but I don't get sick much, and the place where I live is easy to say, Jingcheng is not cold, and I can make do with it in the park and under the bridge and cave." ”

"Humph! can ruthlessly let his father not even have a place to live, I want to see what kind of femme fatale woman it is! ”

When Xie Wuyu heard this, his face turned completely gloomy.

"What are you excited about!"

At this time, Feng Zhengsu couldn't listen to it anymore, threw the melon seed skin in his hand into the trash, and glared at Xie Wuyu angrily.

"Hmph, they all say that daughters are their parents' little padded jackets, have you ever seen such an unfilial little padded jacket?" Xie Wuyu snorted coldly.

Feng Zhengsu ignored him, walked out of the bar, came to the old man, sat down, and asked, "Old man, is the wine delicious?" ”

The old man was stunned and replied, "It's okay." ”

"Did you drink too much?"

Feng Zhengsu stared at him and continued to ask.

"Nope." The old man felt that his eyes were a little scary, and he said in a panic.

"Why is your mouth full of nonsense if you haven't drunk too much!"

Feng Zhengsu slapped the table and said sharply.
