Chapter 158: The Rickety Old Man
Mobile reading
Lu Zhong's forehead was bulging.
Endure! Be sure to hold back!
He hadn't forgotten the scene where Gu Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth in anger just now, he couldn't afford to provoke him, couldn't he still hide?
Lu Zhong stopped talking, and quickened his pace to move forward.
An old, wooden attic left over from the Ming and Qing dynasties appeared in front of the three of them.
Far away, before I walked in, a musty smell came to my face.
This geographical location reminded Gu Xiaoxiao of the treatment she and Chen Mo had just received when they arrived at the base in H City. At that time, they had not yet shown their combat prowess, and were treated like ordinary refugees, living in stinking houses.
The thought of the mountains of garbage, rats and bugs crawling inside! Gu Xiaoxiao frowned, this feeling is really ...... Don't want to experience it again!
"Here it is!" Lu Zhong stepped forward and knocked on the door.
The wooden door made a piercing 'squeak' sound, and the sound was like the dull sound of an old man in his twilight years, lifeless.
An old man with a pale face, leaning on his back, looked at the three people who appeared at the door with cloudy eyes.
"Tinker Bell asked me to bring them. These two people will be left to you to take care of! Lu Zhong seemed to be very familiar with this old man, and there was no greeting when they met, and they went straight to the point.
After saying this, Lu Zhong did not stop and left directly.
The old man glanced at Chen Mo and Gu Xiaoxiao up and down.
"Keep up!" After saying this, the old man turned around and walked in.
Gu Xiaoxiao poked inside the door and breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the room smelled bad, it was neat and tidy, not as cluttered as she had imagined.
"Hurry up, what's it like to procrastinate!" The old man suddenly shouted, which startled Gu Xiaoxiao and Chen Mo.
Chen Mo and Gu Xiaoxiao glanced at each other, pursed their lips, and followed.
Although it is daytime now, due to the fact that the house is really old. There is only one window on the entire ground floor. Moreover, this window is not installed with glass, but the thin window paper of the Ming and Qing dynasties, which blocks part of the light.
The old man held an oil lamp in his hand, and walked to the attic with an old step.
One step at a time, trembling.
Gu Xiaoxiao felt that this old man would fall down the stairs the next moment because he was unsteady on his feet.
"You two, live in the innermost room." The old man pointed to a room to the right of the stairs.
Chen Mo raised his feet and walked in, only to hear a muffled sound of the floor, and a wooden board broke directly, so frightened that Chen Mo hurriedly raised his feet and changed places to stand.
At this time, Chen Mo saw that the floor in this room had already been gnawed by moths, and there were several places that were more serious, and they were directly gnawed out of small holes.
Chen Mo only felt a chill behind him.
If you live in this kind of house, if you are not careful, your life will be explained here.
"You let me in too!" The old man pushed Gu Xiaoxiao behind him.
But the old man was surprised to find that he couldn't push Gu Xiaoxiao.
The girl looked soft and weak, but she didn't expect that her strength was not small.
No matter how hard the old man tried, Gu Xiaoxiao still didn't move.
"Grandpa, don't push it! Can't I go in on my own? Gu Xiaoxiao really saw that this old man was too thin and weak, and she was really afraid that he would accidentally put his old life in.
Gu Xiaoxiao walked in, she stepped on it, extremely excited.
"Wow! It's so porous......"
