"When I reached this age, I already understood that people just can't be greedy, they can't keep luck, if you remember these two items, you can live for a long time. Hehe, eat it, I've got to go. After the old man finished speaking, he stood up slowly, and walked away with a basket of empty bowls on his back, Ruoxi looked at him from behind him as he struggled to go up the stairs, his left leg seemed to be a little sloping, and when his right heel was up, his two shoulders shook very much. However, it was such a useless old skin that made Ruoxi feel a stubborn strength. It was a kind of life force that she had not seen for a long time, an optimistic spirit that dared to fight against the miserable life, and although the rickety back was bent, the spine in it seemed to be stubborn and upright as if it would never bend casually.

Ruoxi subconsciously touched his back, the thin and poor little body could touch the ribs and bones on the back as soon as he touched it, and he was a little hard, Ruoxi smiled, this body is young and strong, but unfortunately, its heart is empty, without the spirit of the old man, knock twice, you can hear the sound of knocking, she really doubts that she is now left with such an empty skeleton, soul, spirit, has long been wiped out.

She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she felt a chill on her ankle bones, and a few thin things that were cold and cold pressed against her skin. Ruoxi gasped, unable to move, the violated skin was paralyzed along with half of the body, this slippery, greasy, disgusting feeling was too challenging.

"." Ruoxi finally sent that breath out, scolded very unceremoniously, and threw out the greasy thing directly under his feet, and with a click, it seemed to be the sound of a big ball of things being thrown to the ground, Ruoxi didn't bother to look at it, "The house leak happened to rain overnight, and my aunt and grandmother were so unlucky, and even the dead mouse dared to bully me." ”

She turned around and scolded angrily, as if all the evil anger of these days had been vented, she cried in the morning, laughed, slept again, and woke up to hear the old man's earnest advice, Ruoxi felt that she was living like a person. I didn't expect to encounter such a wicked thing again, and after kicking it, I really felt much happier.

Somewhere on the opposite side of the dark place seemed to be humming something, Ruoxi stopped, pricked up her ears and listened carefully, sure enough, the intermittent sound of humming came from that corner, Ruoxi had a rare curiosity today, rolled up her sleeves, bent her waist, and followed the sound to find it, at first she walked very slowly, and every step was very careful, for fear that one would not pay attention to stepping on the tail of a mouse or something, as a result, there was no other weird feeling except for wet mud under the soles of her feet. She also became bold, estimating that she was almost away from the corner of the wall, and raised her foot to probe forward, and sure enough, the soles of her feet stepped on a soft mass. At the same time, the hum was a little louder.

It's not a rat, is it? Ruoxi was shocked to realize that the volume of the thing he was stepping on under his feet was definitely not the volume that a mouse should have, and his mouth suddenly turned into a figure of eight. As she was hesitating, something under her feet moved, startling her, and she immediately jumped high, jumped behind, and kept a certain distance from it.

She swallowed her saliva, and touched her empty sleeve with great regret, annoyed why she didn't grab a few packets of poison powder and other things to defend herself when she came out, this is good, in case this thing rises up and struggles, with her current physical strength, it is quite enough to deal with such a large animal.

As a result, when she was thinking, she saw a black shadow in the corner of the wall rushing past her with lightning speed, and the wind that brought it blew up Ruoxi's clothes and straps, and Ruoxi heard the sound of snoring like a pig eating swill, and the creaking sound of teeth biting through the flesh, which sounded funny and scary. She turned around slowly, looked at it, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She thought it was some kind of big rat or something, but it turned out to be a person with hands and feet, arms and legs like her! It's just that the hair is scattered and you can't tell whether it's a man or a woman, and the clothes on the body are torn and unseemly, and they are thin on the body, and they look very old in black. He (she) was lying on the rice bowl on the ground, snoring and eating the contents of the bowl, Ruoxi saw that his (her) hands were dirty, and his ten nails were as long as hooks, and when he pulled into the bowl, he knocked on the porcelain bowl and made a tooth-souring sound.

This man...... Can it still be considered a person? Ruoxi sighed for no reason, and stood in place with her shoulders crossed and watched the person eat as if he was dying. couldn't help it, went into his small room and poured a glass of water, walked over and squatted in front of him (her), and handed him (her) the water glass, "Hey, you eat slowly, no one is grabbing it from you, let's drink some water first." ”

The rhythm of ten nails suddenly stopped, and the head that had been buried in the rice bowl finally raised, this action was done without warning, it was really unacceptable, Ruoxi shook his hand holding the cup, and the water was spilled on the ground, and the person looked up like this, Ruoxi had a chance to see the person's face clearly, there was a lot of mud on the face, so thick that it covered the original appearance, and only a pair of eyes could still see clearly. The black and white in those eyes are very strong, and the black eyes are particularly large, occupying most of the eyeballs, black and shiny. It doesn't match his or her embarrassment at this time.

Ruoxi looked at him (her) and didn't move, and the person also looked at her and didn't move. looked at the cup in her hand, moved her lips, and made a little voice in a hoarse voice, "Give it...... It's mine? ”

Ruoxi tilted her head and laughed, "Of course, but just now I was scared by you, the water was spilled, you wait." She ran into the house, poured another glass, thought for a moment, and copied the whole kettle and brought it outside. Fill the glass of water and hand it to him, "Drink." ”

The man hesitated, stretched out his hand, and before his fingers touched the water glass, the long nails were handed over first, as if he was afraid of scratching her and stopped, Ruoxi was stunned, put the quilt on the ground, and withdrew his hand. The man didn't hesitate to take the cup and drank it all, I don't know why, Ruoxi always felt that this person was holding the cup very awkwardly, he simply didn't hold it, but held it tightly with his whole palm.

Looking at the cup unsatisfied, he (she) gently put the cup down, Ruoxi smiled knowingly, and handed him (her) the kettle, it seems that this person should not be used to using a small utensil like a cup, how to look at it or a big iron kettle is more suitable for him (her). The person was not polite, he directly took the kettle and poured it into his mouth, and Ruoxi began to grin when he drank it, looking at his (her) stomach worriedly, for fear that there would be a loud bang, and his thin belly would be broken.

After drinking, he continued to eat with his head down, chewing on it, Ruoxi squatted on the opposite side, watching the sauce elbow flower in the bowl be stuffed into his mouth at an incredible speed, and then his throat moved, and he began to attack the bowl of vegetables next to him. After a long meal, the man finally stopped, and a shredded green pepper came out of his mouth, and the man bit it off and fell to the ground in two, and his eyes widened to see it fall in front of him, as if he wanted to pick it up and eat it. Ruoxi thought well, that person really reached out to pick it up, Ruoxi subconsciously patted it, knocked out the person's action, "How dirty, don't eat it." ”

The man was stunned again, and retracted his hand with some embarrassment, his hand was too black and dirty, compared with Ruoxi's hand, it was simply a day and a place, after Ruoxi patted that hand, he was shocked to see that his palm was stained with a large piece of black sticky stuff, frowned, and the person saw it, and silently moved back half a meter.

The two stared at each other for a while, Ruoxi couldn't help but laugh out loud, looking at the person's cramped and uneasy appearance, coupled with a swarthy face, her expression was very funny, she was tired after squatting for a long time, and after making sure that the other party had no safety threat to herself, she simply sat on the ground and beat her sore legs, "Hey, how long have you been here?" ”

The man thought for a moment, sat down as she did, and then said, "I don't remember either." Ruoxi was stunned, listening to the voice of this person, it was difficult to hear whether this person was a man or a woman, and asked how long it had been, but I couldn't remember, looking at the appearance, this person should have been here for a long time. Isn't that ...... Have you been living here with this person since you came in? Ruoxi was frightened by this thought, raised her arm and pointed at the person and asked, "Hey, you live here too?" ”

The man nodded without hesitation, raised his arm as well, and pointed to the corner on the right, "I'll sleep over there." Perhaps because of a few words, the man's voice began to become clearer, and Ruoxi was shocked to conclude that this person was ...... It's a man......

Ruoxi's expression couldn't escape his eyes, his bright eyes suddenly dodged, it seemed that he was even more embarrassed than Ruoxi, Ruoxi pondered for a long time, and said squirmingly, "That, you're a man, right?" ”

The man nodded firmly, Ruoxi lowered his head depressedly, repeatedly thinking about the lively scene of washing his hair and bathing with Ning Xiang a few days ago, and longed to get into the rooftop behind him.

He also whispered righteously, "The day you took a bath...... I didn't see anything......"

Ruoxi gasped, put his face in the palm of his hand, and his voice was muffled, "Big brother, how do you know that we are taking a bath when you don't see anything...... "No matter how you look at this, it's too much silver three hundred taels, it's over, this Leng Xiang Palace, which even ghosts don't want to come, will have this kind of embarrassing thing, God, you really love me too much, right?" Ruoxi hated to look up to the sky and roared, and burst into tears.
