"Ahem..."Xu Yong coughed twice unconsciously: "Grandpa, I see that the water in the pond is relatively clear and the weather is hot, I just want to cool down." ”

As soon as Xu Yong said this, the white-bearded old man in front of him suddenly laughed, his smile was very weird, all in all, this smile made Xu Yong uncomfortable.

Xu Yong's first reaction was to leave this place of right and wrong quickly, but he didn't expect that when he took the first step, the white-bearded old man stopped him.

"Young man, can you do me a favor?"

This old voice made Xu Yong stop again To be honest, Xu Yong was originally a person who likes to help others, let alone in this suburb, let alone such a gray-haired old man, Xu Yong stopped and turned around and asked curiously.

"Grandpa, what help do you need?"

The white-bearded old man smiled, and he stroked his long white beard and said word by word.

"My house is not far ahead, can you send me home? Now the sun is too big, I feel like I'm about to suffer from heat stroke, this person is useless when he is old, my wife is probably worried about dying at home, you can send me back." ”

As he spoke, the old man pointed not far ahead, Xu Yong looked in the direction pointed by the old man, and there were indeed a few houses there.

Xu Yong calculated, about 5 kilometers away, not too far, it is noon, the sun is scorching, let the old man go home alone There is indeed a risk of heat stroke, in addition to the fact that there is no one around here, if the old man really faints from heat stroke, it is very likely that he will die.

Thinking of this, Xu Yong agreed to the old man's request without hesitation, he nodded, and shouted loudly to Bai Mengqi in the distance.

"Mengqi, you read the book by yourself for a while, and I will send this old man back for a trip and come back soon, no more than an hour at most!"

The strange thing is that Bai Mengqi didn't seem to hear Xu Yong's voice, she was still quietly reading the book there, without any reaction.

"Mengqi, did you hear what I just said, don't walk around around there, I'll be back in an hour!"

Seeing that Bai Mengqi didn't have any reaction, Xu Yong raised his voice again and shouted the second sentence, but unfortunately Bai Mengqi still didn't have any reaction, Bai Mengqi was so engrossed in reading books, so Xu Yong naturally didn't want to quarrel with her anymore.

Anyway, it's only an hour, Bai Mengqi's book may not have been finished yet, and he will come back, thinking of this, Xu Yong agreed to the white-bearded old man without hesitation.

"Grandpa, then you show me the way, I'll send you back!"

The old man walked in the direction of his house without a sound, Xu Yong stood behind the old man, he suddenly found that this old man was very weird, he looked about 80 years old, but he walked like a fly, not like an 80-year-old person at all.

You must know that in Xu Yong's hometown, most of the old men of this age are already hunchbacked, and it is very difficult to walk, adults have walked several steps, and these old people may have only walked one or two steps, but this white-bearded old man is not, he walks faster than Xu Yong.

And this white-bearded old man has a very straight waist, this kind of old man either exercised a lot when he was young and was a practitioner, or he had never suffered anything in his life and had never done farm work in the field, otherwise he would not have such a vigorous posture when he was old.

Just as Xu Yong had been thinking about these questions in his mind, the white-bearded old man suddenly stopped, he looked back at Xu Yong and asked with a meaningful smile.

"Young man, why are you walking so slowly?

These words made Xu Yong's second monk puzzled, isn't it just to send the old man home, what is there to be afraid of, this is just a distraction, walking is slower, why be afraid.

Xu Yong's chin raised, and he raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I have nothing to be afraid of, it's just that your old man is really in good health, and he walks like a fly, which really makes a young man like me feel ashamed!"

The old man didn't say anything more, but said directly in a low voice.

"Let's go quickly!"

Xu Yong didn't speak, but sped up his speed, and the two walked for almost 10 minutes one after the other, which made Xu Yong feel strange that when he looked at the pond just now, the old man's home was only 5 kilometers away from here at most, but now that he has walked for 10 minutes, those houses are getting farther and farther away.

If you continue to walk like this, I am afraid that if you walk for a day and a night, you may not be able to walk there, thinking of this, Xu Yong asked suspiciously.

"Grandpa, did you take me on a detour? Why do I feel that we are going farther and farther?"

This is not the strangest thing about Xu Yong, after all, Xu Yong came out today to collect human beings, but obviously when he was on the lawn just now, there was still a lot of ice blue spiritual power, but since this old man appeared, the ice blue spiritual power seems to have disappeared.

Originally, Xu Yong wanted to collect some ice blue spiritual power on the way home to send his grandfather home, but now this wish is afraid that it will be frustrated, and seeing that the distance is getting farther and farther, he really doesn't want to waste time.

After all, this old man looks in good health, he can go home alone, why should he leave Bai Mengqi there alone and come here to waste time?

Hearing Xu Yong say this, the old man stopped again, he turned his head and looked at Xu Yong with a kind smile and smiled.

"How could I take you on a long detour? You young people are always suspicious, and sending the old man home is a good deed, what are you thinking about here? My house is not far away, so let's go quickly. ”

Xu Yong saw that he couldn't excuse himself this time, so he could only continue to send the white-bearded old man home, time passed minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, Xu Yong had escorted the old man for almost half an hour, but Xu Yong found a creepy problem, they were going more and more remotely.

How could an old man live in such a remote place?

But at this time, Xu Yong didn't retreat anymore, they all came, he wanted to see what this old man wanted to do, anyway, he had spiritual power, even if he met any bad people, Xu Yong would definitely not suffer.

Go a little further, the weather suddenly changed, just now it was a sunny day with a beautiful wind, suddenly the wind was blowing, a large number of dark clouds floated in the sky, it looked like it was about to rain, Xu Yong couldn't help but think of Bai Mengqi at this moment, Bai Mengqi was still on the lawn, and she didn't bring an umbrella, what should I do?

Xu Yong just being in a hurry has no effect, after all, he has already walked so far, even if he goes back to Bai Mengqi now, he can't solve any problems, after all, he doesn't have an umbrella on his body, he just hopes that it doesn't rain on Bai Mengqi's side.

But fortunately, the sky is beautiful, even if the weather suddenly changes, it is not to the extent of rain, Xu Yong quickened his pace, and in an instant he walked in front of the white-bearded old man.

Seeing that the residential houses not far away are getting closer and closer, the stone in Xu Yong's heart finally landed, anyway, it was about to arrive, send the old man home, and pick up Bai Mengqi again, but the guilt is that he didn't accompany Bai Mengqi much today, and he didn't collect much spiritual power, and he didn't see any spiritual power along the way, which was quite disappointing.
