Chapter 692: The Secret of the Sake (4)

"Brother, how did you defeat Uncle Li just now?

At this time, with the gloomy faces of the seven or eight big men next to them with a cart to pull away the big net on the wooden pier, this area then emptied, the little girl who had been a little timid to hide behind the old man only walked out slightly, for the teenager of the same age in front of her, she did not feel frightened because of the abnormality of the appearance, but her face was full of curiosity.

That soft and weak voice caught his ears, and the young man's eyes couldn't help but turn his gaze. The little girl may be due to malnutrition, and her figure is much thinner than her peers, and he didn't see the former's appearance clearly when he was far away just now, and when he was close, the other party hid behind the old man because he was afraid of the fierce men around him, so he didn't attract his attention. The girl's facial features are not exquisite, but when they are matched together, coupled with the thin melon seed face, it also looks extremely standard, but just now she may have been picking up some discarded fish on the beach, and there are a few fish scales scattered on her face, which looks a little funny.

Looking over, the corners of the young man's mouth couldn't help but curl up a slight soft smile, perhaps because there was an inexplicable closeness between peers, he smiled: "I don't know what an illusionist is, but I have a lot of strength, just now those people are together, I can also beat them all down." ”

"What's more, I still have a greedy snake!" As he spoke, the young man stretched out his arm, revealing a miniature snake coiled on his arm, it is worth mentioning that the three-eyed demon dragon python turned into this appearance, and the figure is also plump, so not only does it lose the hideous horror of the body, but it also looks a little cute. In particular, the three heads are gently swaying in a small dynamic way all the time. It's hard to laugh.

"Ahh

Although at this time, the three-eyed demon dragon python appeared as a cute thing. But the girl seemed to have a natural fear of snakes for the most part, so the little girl screamed and quickly hid behind the old man, but then she could not resist the drive of curiosity, and tilted her head slightly to look at the young man's arm.

"Hahaha it's okay, you touch it, greedy snakes don't bite. Very obedient!" Seeing this, the young man smiled heartily, and then leaned closer and said.

"Well, it's so soft!" After observing for a long time, the little girl finally tentatively stretched out her finger and gently poked the body of the three-eyed demon dragon python, the latter may be afraid of itching, her waist squirmed slightly, and she felt the whirring touch of the flesh, and she suddenly smiled. He immediately stretched out his palm and stroked one of the little heads that was swinging around.

"Peach, don't be playful. Don't delay my brother coming home. We still have something to do!"

Looking at the little girl's heartfelt happy cheeks, the old man sighed softly and said, "There are few fleets ashore today, and there are few discarded fish, and there are still three days before the deadline for repayment. ”

After hearing this, the smile on the little girl's face froze almost instantly, and she regained her original painful appearance, and at the moment, she touched the head of the three-eyed demon dragon python with some reluctance, and said, "Okay, goodbye, brother." ”

"Grandpa, can I stay with you? Because I don't have a home for a while!"

Just as he was about to turn around and take a step, when he heard the words coming from behind him, the old man's face trembled, and he said, "What's the matter?

"Eh" suddenly heard this question, and the young man was speechless. To be honest, this question also bothered him for a long time before, he didn't know where he came from, or even where he came from. Although he has been living on an isolated island, as he grows older, he will always find some chaotic memories pouring out of his head, these memories are like the inheritance of a kind of cognition, even if he has never been out and about, he knows a lot about some basic common sense of the human world and the World of Warcraft.

At this moment, a flash of inspiration appeared in his head, remembering the words of the old man when he broke the siege, the young man hurriedly put on a dejected look, and said: "My parents took me to the south to do business, unfortunately there was a storm in the sea, and all the goods and people were swept into the bottom of the sea, and I was hit by a wave at the beginning of the storm-affected area, so I was lucky, I wandered for a few days along the way, fortunately I took a passing boat, and I arrived all the way to the small fishing village. ”

As he spoke, the young man's eyes flashed, and he pointed to the shadows of several vague ships on the sea in the distance, and said, "You see, it's that one, and a few of them went ashore to replenish supplies, and they took me to the shore by the way." ”

"Oh!"

After glancing in the direction the young man was pointing, but he didn't see the reason, the old man sighed deeply, stretched out his palm and rubbed the little girl's head, and said, "It's also a poor child." Like Peaches, when she was five or six years old, her father and mother went to sea and encountered a hurricane and buried the sea, and in the following six or seven years, she suffered a lot with me, a bad old man with no ability. ”

At this point, the old man glanced at the young man with a difficult face, shook his head and said, "Child, it's not that the uncle is ruthless. Peach's parents used to be a well-known captain in the village, but not long after the good days began, they were "

"When I was building a ship, I borrowed money from a powerful person in the village, and although their husband and wife had repaid a lot in the early years, they still had more than 20 high-grade power stones. In the past six or seven years, the profits have been rolling, and the more and more we have paid, so we are now hungry, and we get up early every day and rush to the beach to pick up some fish that the fleet has abandoned but are not dead, and sell them cheaply, just to repay the debts in a certain amount of time every time. Although if you stay, you can still eat some food, regardless of hunger and hunger, but"

Before he finished speaking, the old man sighed again with a bitter face. Seeing this, the little girl's eyes had already slipped down two lines of aggrieved tears, and she couldn't cry and said: "Grandpa's leg was broken by the debt collectors last year, when we had no money for treatment, so we fell ill, the weather turned cold, and his leg hurt, and he couldn't even walk." ”

The story is just one of the tragedies that are not uncommon among countless miserable families in the world, there are many unfortunate encounters, but most of the unfortunate results are the same. However, I really saw with my own eyes the ragged appearance of the grandfather and grandson. Hear the sadness in that tone again. Rao is Zhang Hao, who has been watching quietly next to him. I couldn't help but feel a wave of resentment in my heart. Not to mention others, it stands to reason that the villagers, whoever has a tribulation, don't help, but at least you can't add fuel to the fire to bully a pair of old and weak grandchildren, and force people to become crippled.

Maybe. People who really have some conscience, after learning what happened, most of them will react like Zhang Hao and be angry. But the boy didn't. The blandness of his appearance is even more indifferent than that of some adults, but the coldness that faintly rises in the depths of those strange pupils shows that his heart is by no means as calm as it seems on the surface.

"It's getting late, grandpa can always take me in for one night, right?"

"If that's the case, that's fine. If you don't have a place to go, you can stay at your uncle's house for the next two days. Momoko hasn't had many friends since her parents died. You're here, but I'm playing with her. Hearing this, this time the old man agreed with a smile.

Seeing this, the little girl almost jumped up with joy, and then stepped forward and grabbed the young man's arm, and said, "Brother, go, I'll take you to the beach to pick up fish, and let the greedy snake pick it up too." ”

"Let me tell you, usually no one plays with me, I am tired of picking up fish, I will go swimming in the sea, sometimes lucky, I can catch a few big live fish with a net, grandpa praised me for my ability. Shall I teach you in a moment?"

"Good. The snake shook its head, it seemed that it didn't want to learn. ”

"Isn't its little head shaking all the time? That's right, go to my house tonight, and ask grandpa to cook fish for you, grilled fish, and stew fish soup, grandpa's fish is delicious, sometimes the fish dies too much and no one collects it, so he will take it back to us to eat it ourselves, and I still have a lot of dried fish at home." ”

"Good. The snake shook its head again, and it seemed that it did not want to eat. ”

"What's the matter, you see it's nodding this time, it's really a greedy snake, and when it comes to eating, it nods. ”

"Peach, you slow down, the little brother has been wandering for a few days, tired!" Looking at his granddaughter, who had always been sullen before, she was as happy as a little sparrow, and the wrinkles on the old man's face were also rare to stretch.

"I know, grandpa, you should come quickly, otherwise the fish will be picked up by me and my brother!" Looking at this scene, Zhang Hao, who was watching from the side, couldn't tell what it was like, and immediately flashed to follow the boy and the little girl.

was taken to the beach, into the eye is to see, on the beach put two tattered fishing net pockets about one meter long and wide, looking at the little girl jumping over to pick up the fishing net, the smile on the young man's face is also slightly expanded, of course, as long as he is willing, at will spread the energy in the body out, there will be thousands of fish will swarm, but at his age, the same child is very heavy-hearted, so after taking the net bag handed by the little girl, the two ran into the sea to play together. Then the old man who came with him also smiled knowingly, and lifted the two fish baskets, of course, after being warned by that Li Zhuang, of course he didn't dare to get too close to the fleet, so he could only limp along the coastline from afar, limping and patrolling.

Time always flies in happiness, the boy and the little girl are the same age, although the two grew up in different environments, but undoubtedly since childhood no friends, now there is a companion, under the fun of playing, until the old man comes back to greet him, the two find that the sunset has completely set, the fleet has also lit bonfires and oil lamps, the villagers who have been busy for a day are far together, while cooking all kinds of fish, while sipping wine, lively.

"Grandpa, look! On the first day my brother learned to fish with a net, he caught three big fish, and I only caught one!"

Looking at the lively scene in the distance with envy, when he saw the young man walking out of the sea with a smile on his face, it seemed to be an afternoon of play, and the relationship between the two was also much closer, Peaches twisted the big braids combed on both sides of the side of his head, and then pouted, coquettishly pulled the old man who rushed back, and pouted: "It must be that there are many fish in my brother's sea area, and my skills are a hundred times better than his." ”

"Hehe, Peaches is right! I'm lucky, and I have the help of the snake. It's not a peach loss today, we'll come back tomorrow and let the snake follow you, it's especially good at finding fish. ”

Facing the brilliance faintly reflected in the distance, looking at the little girl who looked like a peach competition, the young man smiled happily, seeing that he should admit it, and saw that the other party seemed to be playing a bad trick and nodded again and again, and he shook his head and smiled at the moment.

Layers of waves gently lapping the shore, the quiet sea breeze blowing on the cheeks, easily carrying all the three fish baskets on his back, being naturally held by the peach arm, and the silver bell laughter of the other party ringing in his ears. Whether it is this life or not, it comes from the inexplicable cognitive feeling of inheritance in the depths of his mind, at this moment, the teenager has never felt that life can be so beautiful (to be continued......
