Chapter 57: I Can't Afford to Wear Shoes

"Haha, where is this baby worthy of a girl's frankness, but she is a wild monkey, jumping up and down, and she can't be stable. The old man seemed to be demeaning, but in fact, his grandson was praised by others, and he still laughed happily.

"Tell you, what is this place?"

"This is Nagano Ridge, the two of you know at a glance that you are extraordinary, and you will come to this poor country, what a rare guest, a rare guest!" the old man stroked his beard, held a crutch in one hand, and took two steps forward tremblingly.

"Nagano Ridge, how far is this place from Lincheng?" Yexi continued.

"It's a dozen days away from Lincheng, and if it's fast, you can walk for seven or eight days. ”

Yexi frowned slightly, she didn't expect her to be so far away from Lincheng!

"And how far is the nearest town here?" asked Yexi.

Before the old man could speak, the child had already volunteered to say it, wrinkling his little nose, really a little cute, "Sister, the town is far, far away, and the brother of the next door used to have to walk for a long time to go to the town once, and his feet are worn out." ”

"Yes, the nearest town here also has to walk for a day, if you don't dislike it, the village we live in is quite close to here, you can go to the village for a night, and it's not too late to leave tomorrow." The old man looked at the child with a smile, moved two steps tremblingly, and pointed not far ahead.

"It's okay, then it's troublesome for the old man to lead the way. Yexi nodded, she should find a place to live before making plans.

"Wow, that's great, will my pretty sister live in our house?

"This kid. The old man shook his head and said, "In that case, dog, let's catch two more fish." ”

"Oh!" the dog baby cheered, and couldn't wait to take off his shoes and jump into the water, diving until half a day before he came up.

He could dive at a young age, but he was unhappy and climbed ashore. "Grandpa, when will I be as good as you and catch a lot of fish at once?"

"You're still young, what do you have to practice...... the old man smiled and moved two steps to the river, "Look at grandpa!"

"Hmm!" the dog baby looked at his grandfather with sparkling eyes, full of adoration.

I saw that the old man was angry, raised his right hand, and faintly glowed with cyan mystical light. This old man turned out to be the strength of a martial king!

"Bang!" the water exploded, and the fish as long as chopsticks floated up with their white bellies, and the dog baby cheered, and jumped into the water to pick up the fish and put them in the back basket.

Blood Jade eyes flashed, according to the old man's skills, even if he was a guest elder in an ordinary small family, it was more than enough, and he would be willing to stay in a small village, and use his skills to fish for a living.

"The seniors are good at martial arts, I don't know what the seniors call them?" Yexi was also quite curious, this old man should be unusual.

"Where, people are old and useless, just call me Wu Lao. Wu Lao waved his hand and smiled, "Little doll, you are not simple, you are already at the level of a martial king at a young age, but it really impresses the little old man." ”

"Grandpa, you see, the fish have been picked up by me, and there are so many harvests today!" the dog baby climbed ashore neatly, and looked at the old man happily with the basket on his back.

"Hehe, that's good, tonight is enough for your little gluttonous cat. Old Wu didn't feel embarrassed at all by using his ability to fish, but looked at his grandson with a smile.

"Sister, brother, shall we go home?" The dog baby looked at Yexi and Xuejin Jade with a look of hope, a pair of small hands held tightly, and it seemed that he was both happy and nervous.

"Two, please move. As he spoke, Wu Lao walked forward with a crutch, and the dog baby hurriedly put on his back and followed up.

As he walked, the dog suddenly asked, "Brother, don't your feet hurt?"

"I ......" Blood Jinyu looked at the child in front of him who was only waist-high, and his eyes were full of curiosity and worry, which were so pure that he didn't even feel soft.

When he came back to his senses, the blood jade hooked his lips, "My brother is very powerful, it won't hurt." ”

I secretly made up in my heart, it really didn't hurt, but I buried all the pain in my heart and enjoyed it alone.

"My brother is so powerful, I used to be barefoot, and I would be panicked by the pebbles on the ground, and I cried. The dog's eyes were shining and staring at the blood jade, exuding a light of worship.

"......" Blood Jinyu was silent, but in fact, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, he didn't expect that a person who shouted and shouted to kill would be worshiped by a little ghost with a big fart, hehe.

The dog baby laughed for a while, suddenly seemed to think of something, was silent for a while, stopped talking, just quietly glanced at the blood jade, and then silently followed behind and walked slowly.

Blood Jinyu frowned, and Yexi raised her eyebrows, only thinking that the children now are like this...... Moody?

"Dog baby, what's wrong with you?" the old man looked at the dog baby unclearly.

The dog shook her head silently, her shoulders shrugged slightly, and she didn't speak. Seeing this, Wu Lao was even more strange, and looked at Yexi and Xuejin Jade again, and saw that there was no displeasure on their faces, just the same doubts, so he put his mind at ease.

The old man asked again, "Wasn't it okay just now?" Why, but hungry?"

The dog still shook his head.

"This brother and sister bullied you?"

The dog baby shook his head even harder, and shrugged his shoulders.

"Then what's wrong with you?" asked the old man.

Finally, the dog baby said in a trilling voice that wanted to cry or not: "I...... It's me who is bad. ”

The three of them were inexplicable for a while, and the dog baby looked at Xuejinyu and said, "Brother, it's me who is not good, can you forgive me?"

Blood Jinyu felt even more inexplicable, why did this little ghost change his face so quickly? Before Blood Jinyu could speak, the dog baby who was only listening continued:

"Big brother, I know you must be barefoot because you can't afford to wear shoes, right, but it doesn't matter, I can ask Sister-in-law Lin next door to make a pair of shoes for you, Sister-in-law Lin next door is very good, she is very willing to help people!"

"Hehe......" Yexi laughed directly.

The corners of Xuejin Yu's mouth twitched, he didn't expect that one day someone would say that he couldn't afford to buy shoes to wear, if his subordinates knew about it, then they wouldn't have to laugh off their big teeth! If the world knew that he couldn't afford to wear shoes, it was estimated that everyone would laugh, and it was estimated that they would take the opportunity to not be except for him, because he had reached that point, and he was at the end of his rope, so he didn't have to be afraid......

Thinking about it, the blood jade looked cold, heh, the reason why the blood jade is called "bloodthirsty white bones", how could it fall to that point?

"Brother!" the dog baby was stunned by that look.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, childish words are unscrupulous. Seeing this, Wu Lao also had to open his mouth to plead, however, his cloudy eyes flashed with worry.

"No hindrance, it is indeed a child's words, this child does have some meaning. Coming back to his senses, the blood jade hooked his lips and smiled. "Naturally, I don't have a problem with a child. ”

"Really, big brother, aren't you angry?" Before Wu Lao could reply, the dog baby was already very happy, and then said: "Big brother, you are really good, you and the sister next to you are very good." ”

"Oh?" Perhaps it was the first time that someone praised him so well, and Blood Jinyu became a little interested, and asked, "Then why do you think that I am very good with this sister next to me?"

"You are willing to talk to me, and you are not angry with me for what I have done wrong. The dog baby said with a smile, and then a little lost, "But no one else wants to talk to me, they all scold me for being a child without a father and a mother, and I hate it very much." ”

"Nonsense, those people just don't know, you ...... Of course you have a father and a mother, and those people are ignorant people, ahem......"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Before they could speak, Wu Lao was so anxious that he almost jumped to his feet, said angrily, and then began to cough violently.

"Ahem...... Poof!" At the end of the cough, the old man suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood. The dog baby was in a hurry, so he hurriedly wiped the blood from the corner of Wu Lao's mouth with his sleeve, and said distressedly: "Grandpa, don't get excited, I know, the dog baby himself knows, I am a child with a father, don't vomit blood again!"

"Ahem...... I...... Ahem, I'm fine. Wu Lao walked to the side of the stone and sat down with the support of the dog baby, patted the dog baby's hand and comforted: "Don't worry grandpa, it's all old problems." ”

"Tuberculosis?" With just one glance, Ye Xi could see the old man's condition, and it seemed that the time was not short, in this continent with backward medical standards, a tuberculosis was fatal.

"The girl understands medicine?" Wu Lao was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand, "But this is all an old problem, it doesn't get in the way, besides, this disease really can't be cured." ”

What Wu Lao said was indeed telling the truth, there is indeed no medicine treatment for this thing in this continent. Surgery alone requires a lot of preparation, not to mention that surgery is not practical in such a backward place.

"Looks like you won't be able to hold out for much longer. Yexi didn't get closer, but pulled the dog baby back without a trace, "This disease is contagious, if you want this child to live, try not to let him get close to you." ”

The old man knows that he is reluctant to give up this baby, otherwise he would not have survived until now. Wu Lao nodded, looking at the dog baby's eyes full of reluctance and guilt.

Hearing this, Yexi thought that she already knew the purpose of this old man. Until now, Yexi had been testing the old man's purpose, and now the result was similar to what she had expected.

So Yexi glanced at the dog baby and said, "This child ......"
