Chapter 7: Two Strange Old Men
A street and alley.
"Old monster, I just heard that a new restaurant has opened on Chengnan Street, which is very popular, why don't we try it before leaving," an old man with white hair and white beard in beige said to the people around him with a smile.
"Hmph... Just go, I'm afraid you won't make it..."The silver-haired black-bearded old man in gray replied with a look of reluctance.
"Then we... Ouch..."The white-bearded old man was unprepared, and was suddenly bumped into by someone, staggered forward and shouted.
"Ahh Are you alright, old man? I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I didn't mean to..."I saw a young man dressed like a thin man with a dirty face get up from the ground, immediately hold the old man's wrist and apologize and ask worriedly, while looking back nervously into the alley.
"It's okay... It's okay..."The old man in white replied subconsciously.
"It's okay... I'm in a hurry, it's okay, I'll go first" After speaking, without waiting for the old man to answer, he ran into the crowd without looking back and disappeared.
This person is Ling Xue who disguised herself as a family member and blended out of the General's Mansion, since Ling Xue was diagnosed with pregnancy three days ago, the old lady immediately arranged for Ling Xue to drink the abortion pill. When Ling Xue found out, she refused to drink and tried to persuade the old lady to let her give birth to the child first, after all, the child was innocent. No matter who the child's biological father is, the child is hers in her womb, and she really can't be ruthless to strangle that little life. Helplessly, the old lady was resolute and had no room for negotiation. At Ling Xue's insistence, the old lady decided to give her three days to calm down, think clearly about the pros and cons, and drink the abortion pill after three days, whether Ling Xue wanted it or not.
In the past few days, Ling Xue learned after inquiring that it was taboo to be unmarried and pregnant in the Longhai Continent. Anyone who is known will be subjected to inhuman torture, even the emperor's daughter. After understanding the situation, Ling Xue chose to leave the book and run away without hesitation, planning to come back after the child was born and ask her grandmother for forgiveness. So there was the scene just now.
"Hey... This kid... Why are young people so reckless now," the old man in white who reacted said a little unhappily. The gray-clothed old man next to him smiled gloatingly, as if to say, 'You also have today'.
An hour later, there was a table in the drunken Xiaoyao restaurant on Longyaocheng South Street.
"Hiccup... This wine is really superb, and the food is also unprecedentedly delicious, and it really corresponds to the name of the restaurant... Drunk... If you are drunk, you will be free, whether it is wine or delicacies, it is intoxicating, and the aftertaste is endless, and it really deserves its name. It's no wonder it's so popular just after opening. An old man in white exclaimed with a full burp.
"Well, this restaurant is really good." The gray-clothed old man sitting next to him said expressionlessly, as if he hadn't spoken just now.
"Yo... Even you old monster is in amazement... Rare... It's rare..."The old man in white joked with a smile at the old man in gray.
"Hmph..."The old man in gray glared at the old man in white, turned his head and ignored him.
"Hey, hey... Xiao Er, settle the bill" The old man in white looked at the expression of the old man in gray and smiled proudly, and waved his hand to beckon Xiao Er to settle the bill.
"Two guest officers, you have spent a total of fifty-eight taels of silver, please go to the counter in front of you to settle it, please" Xiao Er picked up the list and counted it and said to the two old men.
"Uh-huh... Hey... Where's my purse? Why is it gone?? ... Could it be that kid? The old man in white who walked to the counter at the door kept rummaging on his body, remembering that he had been knocked down before and said suspiciously.
"Finally found... It's so hard to find me, it's really troublesome not to know the road, and I have walked so many unjust roads. I saw a thin man standing at the door, panting and puffing.
"Hey... You little thief came at a good time, you hit me an hour ago, you must have stolen my money bag, return it quickly, old man, I don't care about you" The old man in white looked at the person after hearing the voice, recognized that this was the young man who bumped into him before, and pointed at him.
"What? I stole your purse? Elderly... It's right that I bumped into you, but I didn't steal your money bag, don't you wronged me" Ling Xue said angrily after listening to the words of the old man in white, and it was only after a long time that the person who came found Ling Xue who was drunk and free.
"No thief will ever admit to stealing something," the gray-clothed old man looked at Ling Xue and said disdainfully.
"You... You are the thief, I don't need to steal your money, you believe it or not, don't come here to eat if you don't have money, Lao Xu, how much silver did they consume, I invited it, and I should make amends for the old man who bumped into him before. Ling Xue said angrily that she hated others wronging her the most, but now she was very tired and didn't want to talk to these two old men anymore.
"Childe, they have consumed a total of fifty-eight taels of silver" Lao Xu only felt that it looked like it was at first, and he was not sure, but when Ling Xue called him, he recognized that this was his son.
"Well, the old man's meal money is what I invited you, and I feel sorry for you if you lose your money bag, but it's really not me," Ling Xue calmly explained again, and walked to the inner hall.
"Hmph... When I was asking for food! Boy, if I don't teach you a lesson, I... Well? Alien Root? The gray-clothed old man was enraged, and he flew forward to grab Ling Xue's wrist, and was about to hit but suddenly stopped, and his eyes lit up as if he had discovered a new continent.
"Monster... Other... Well? Alien Root Girl? The old man in white saw the old man in gray flying forward to catch Ling Xue, worried that he really did something to Ling Xue, and he also flew forward to grab Ling Xue's other hand to stop him, but found that Ling Xue was pregnant.
"I..." As soon as Ling Xue wanted to speak, the old man in gray quickly shook off the old man in white and hijacked him, and said to the old man in white: "Old man, I found her first, and you are not allowed to rob me." ”
