Chapter 208: Gui Sheng
"In the beginning, I wasn't the only one in the house. The old man began to wipe his tears, "The water is flooding day by day, and people are moving away one by one.
I didn't dare to go, I was afraid that Gui Sheng would not find his way home after leaving. ”
The old man wiped his tears and sobbed: "Later, after a long time, I knew that Gui Sheng would not come back, and he would never come back."
I asked everyone who went into the forest to look for them, but they couldn't find it, Gui Sheng was obviously in the forest, but they just couldn't find it. ”
The old man slammed his hand on the table, his heart was bitter and painful, "I never asked the people who came to the inn for a penny, and I gave them silver......"
Su Xiaoqi suddenly interrupted the old man, "Have you ever thought that they took the money and didn't help you find it." ”
The old man was stunned, his body was cold, and he snorted, "You...... You...... What do you say?"
"There are free meals and silver to take, it's hard to find such a good thing in the world, right?"
The old man got up, took a few steps back in disbelief, took the bench back again and again, and slapped his butt on the stool, he had to face this reality, and cried loudly, "What you said is right, what you say is right." ”
The cry of grief is maddening and heartbreaking.
Su Xiaoqi didn't mean to comfort the old man, and continued to tear the bloody scars, "At first, I couldn't understand why those people didn't want the inn to close, it turned out that they didn't want to lose your money bag."
Now that the Yunhai Sacred Palace is intervening, they don't dare to provoke, so they simply don't come to Yinsong Hailin again, so no one comes to this inn, so it makes sense. ”
Speaking of which, Su Xiaoqi finally felt that this explanation was not far-fetched.
The old man stopped crying, his mouth was open, as if he was roaring silently, and suddenly, in anger, he fell back.
Su Xiaoqi took action in time to pick him up, and a wisp of spiritual power crossed over, protecting the old man's fragile heart. When the old man woke up slowly, Su Xiaoqi said, "I will bring Gui Sheng back." ”
The old man grabbed Su Xiaoqi's sleeve like a beast, glared and said, "Are you serious?!"
Su Xiaoqi smiled and groaned: "It's not polite to talk to people like this. ”
The old man retracted his hand like an electric shock, and suddenly said in a low voice: "I have no money anymore." ”
Su Xiaoqi sat back in his seat and picked up his chopsticks again, "I don't want money." ”
"And what do you want?" the old man asked, sadly, "I have nothing left now." ”
"The noodles taste good, and the greens are healthy. Su Xiaoqi was saying something that was not related.
The old man understood, and said movingly: "What do you mean...... It's ......"
"This counts as your thank you. Su Xiaoqi looked at the old man with a smile.
"But ......," the old man stopped talking.
"How old is Gui Sheng?" Su Xiaoqi didn't want to waste the conversation on useless conversations, in twenty years, people had already rotted into a pile of dry bones, and asking Gui Sheng's age was also to find it purposefully.
The old man was silent for a long time before he said, "He was only seven years old when he entered the forest. ”
"Seven-year-old?" Su Xiaoqi was surprised: "Seven-year-old can't even lift a big stone, how can you rest assured that he ......"
"Gui Shengniang died early. The old man looked sad and said, "That year I was seriously ill, and my family was destitute, so Gui Sheng went to the forest to treat me, and since then, I have never been able to come out."
I was in bed for five days, and I was finally able to walk, and I went in and went to find him a few times......"
"Can't find it, I can't find it. The old man shook his head frantically and shouted in a low voice, "The damned person is obviously me, obviously me." ”
"It doesn't make any sense to say that. Lighting a cigarette, Su Xiaoqi narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "I will turn it over inch by inch, and I will definitely bring him out." ”
"You ......" Although he knew that the next words were very inappropriate, the old man couldn't help but ask, "Why did you help me?"
"Me?" Su Xiaoqi smiled, "Because I am a warm-hearted person, there are too few people who are looking for me now who are not famous or profitable." ”
"......" The old man didn't know how to pick up Su Xiaoqi's words.
"In addition to age, what other characteristics do you have?" Su Xiaoqi continued the previous topic, "For example, do you have anything particularly conspicuous on your body?"
"Longevity locks. The old man replied at once, and though twenty years had passed, his memory was still clear.
Then Su Xiaoqi didn't ask again, after a long time, the clothes Gui Sheng was wearing were estimated to be rotten into mud, so there was no need to ask. If you want to find someone twenty years ago, it is not something that can be done overnight, especially in the changeable environment of the Silver Pine Sea Forest, Gui Sheng is likely to be buried in the mud, which requires patience and time.
Su Xiaoqi didn't feel that he was doing a thankless job, the purpose of everything he did was to make himself happy. He didn't want to see the bones of an old man waiting for his child's body to return, and he didn't want to see the corpse of a seven-year-old child in the wilderness.
It's as if he knew that killing the Guan Lord would anger Sima Yuan, but he still did it, if there is one thing in the world that is the most important, it must be to live according to his heart.
If he is unhappy, no matter who the other party is, even if it is the king of heaven, he has to take care of it.
"Is there a place to stay?" "When you are full of food and drink, you naturally need to find a place to rest.
"Yes. The old man hurriedly got up, "Yes." ”
With that, he raised the oil lamp and led the way.
To Su Xiaoqi's surprise, the room was actually cleaned, and the quilt also had a fresh smell. Entering the Yunhai Holy Palace, he has been sleeping on a biting ice bed, and he is not a pervert who wants to torture himself, of course he wants to lie down with a comfortable bed.
......
After a night without words, Su Xiaoqi slept until noon before getting up, he hadn't slept well like he had been like this for a long, long time.
Walking out of the door, the air was actually much colder, and a gust of cold wind rushed in from outside the door, and the old man was wrapped in a thick cotton jacket, and his neck was retracted into the collar, but his face was still a little bruised from the cold.
At night, he didn't see Su Xiaoqi's dress clearly by the oil lamp, but now that he saw Su Xiaoqi wearing a white robe, he was shocked and incoherent, "Are you ...... Be...... A disciple of the Cloud Sea Sacred Palace?"
Not everyone who wears a white robe is a disciple of the Yunhai Sacred Palace, but in a place like the polar regions, only the Yunhai Sacred Palace can wear a white robe, because this is a symbol of status.
"Does it matter?" Su Xiaoqi said with a smile: "The disciples of the Yunhai Holy Palace also have factions, and my faction is undoubtedly loyal to me. ”
The old man was speechless.
"It's snowing. Su Xiaoqi walked outside the door and frowned.
Although the snow has stopped, the snow is a foot thick, which is greatly disadvantageous for finding people. [.]
