Chapter Fifty-Eight: Seeing the Blind at Last
After getting out of the danger posed by the goshawk, in order to prevent a long night of dreams, everyone stopped lingering, and except for Alice, who became more irritable, several people did not say more, so the speed of the march also increased.
"Look, in front of you is where the half-blind live. Blind Chen led everyone up a hillside and pointed to a small house erected on the flat grass in front of him.
"You're not mistaken, are you? How could he live in such a rotten place?" Kate questioned, looking at the dilapidated stone house.
"Hey, everybody has their own preferences, and he likes this style. Chen spread his arms, not very sure of his words.
"Whatever, as long as you have real skills, you have to treat this guy quickly. Arthur pulled Alice, and Alice took all her anger out on Arthur along the way, and Arthur listened to it so that his scalp was numb and his ears were calloused.
So everyone moved on.
There is a courtyard outside the small stone house where the half-blind man lives, with various vegetables on the left side of the yard, flowers and plants on the right, and a path paved with cobblestones in the middle.
When everyone arrived at the door, Blind Chen knocked on the door vigorously and called out, "Half-blind!"
However, after knocking for a long time, no one came to open the door.
"Is it true that he hasn't come back yet?" wondered Anderson.
"Hmph, maybe I'll die here, and if I live in a place where this kind of bird doesn't, no one will know if I'm dead. Kate exclaimed.
"Forget it, break down the door, anyway, when he comes back, I'll say that the beast did it. As he spoke, he raised his foot and kicked it towards the wooden door.
Bang!
The wooden door was kicked open at once, and due to too much inertia, it hit the interior wall hard.
Several people entered the door one after another, only to see a stench in the cluttered hall, and there were two rooms on the side of the hall, opposite the room was a toilet, and next to the toilet was the kitchen.
A bald old man was lying motionless on a desk.
"Half-blind! Half-blind!" Blind Chen didn't even respond to a few shouts, so he hurriedly went up to check, he raised the bald old man's head, stretched out his index finger to test his breath in front of his nose, and when he felt that there was still a faint breath, he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly called Anderson to see the condition.
After Anderson checked it, he concluded that it was due to long-term malnutrition and recent lack of food that had caused him to be physically exhausted, so in order to make him sober up, he pinched the bald old man's middle of the person, and the bald old man sobered up with an "ah!" sound.
"You, what are you doing here!" the bald old man looked at the crowd in exasperation, glaring at Anderson viciously.
"What are you doing here, I'm here to save your life! If you come a few days late, you'll die here, and then you'll have to come and collect your body." Blind Chen laughed.
"Die, I'm hibernating! The bald old man complained, "You are pretending to be this ghost again." ”
Blind Chen himself forgot that he was now a monkey man, and as soon as he exerted his strength, he instantly changed back to human form.
Everyone looked at these two people in surprise, the bald old man was not tall, the bald head was bright, the left eye was covered with a black blindfold, the small eye on the right looked very obscene, he was wearing a T-shirt that had not been washed for a long time, the pants were black cropped pants, and a pair of worn slippers on his feet.
Look at Blind Chen again, a black and bright hair, a handsome face with some wrinkles brought by the years, a slim black and white suit makes him look particularly energetic, and the leather shoes on his feet are so bright that they can even reflect light, he is very different from the bald old man's style, the only thing in common is that his left eye is blind.
"Who the hell is half-blind between you two?" Looking at the two people who were both blind in one eye, everyone was a little confused.
"He's really half-blind, in fact, I'm his apprentice, I'm sorry to hide it from you before. Blind Chen apologized, "But my eyes were indeed made by him, and this time I came up with you to confirm whether you can be trusted." ”
"I told you to guard my home for me, and you ran around for me, and I was really getting bolder, and you called me half-blind. The bald old man knocked Blind Chen hard.
Blind Chen himself also patted his head, saying that he had forgotten, kept apologizing in his mouth, and introduced everyone to him.
Several people were deeply suspicious of the bald old man in front of them, this was clearly a wild old man in the countryside, and he couldn't see anything powerful anywhere, but he was blind and decent.
The bald old man looked around at everyone and said, "Interesting, four of the six people are not ordinary people. ”
When they heard this, they looked at each other in confusion.
"You have a strong evil aura on your body, and you also have a hidden demon. When I see you, something in my left eye is ready to move, and you had better control yourself and suppress it, or you will surely die at its hands in the future. The half-blind man mentioned Anderson as soon as he opened his mouth, and what he said was even more chilling.
"You're talking nonsense, we've been with him for so long, and we haven't seen any difference, where did some demon come from?" Arthur questioned and felt that he was being disrespectful and very dissatisfied.
"It's normal that you don't notice it, it's because it's sleeping, maybe it won't wake up in its lifetime, but I think it will wake up sooner or later, and then your pain will multiply, get ready, young man. The half-blind man had a solemn expression, and he had often seen the demons that dwelt in his body, but Anderson's demon had made him feel very disturbed, and his left eye had never been so restless.
"Then you, little beauty. The half-blind man turned to Xiaojiao and looked up and down, "Outstanding figure, sweet appearance, is my favorite type, I wonder if you would be willing to travel with me and have a few children by the way?"
"Birth of you, don't talk nonsense, be careful of Lao Tzu beating you. Seeing the bald old man flirting with his sweetheart, Arthur couldn't help but be angry in his heart, clenched his fists, as long as this old man did something, let him taste it.
"Hehe, don't be excited, it seems that she is already famous. The half-blind man said with a hippie smile.
"I thought you were some great character, but you turned out to be just a bad old man. Arthur said indignantly.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. The half-blind man touched the shiny bald head, looked at the few poisonous snakes behind Xiaojiao, and thoughtfully held up his chin in thought.
"You shouldn't be human, if I'm not mistaken, you're a nine-tailed demon fox. The half-blind man told the truth in one sentence, and now everyone couldn't help but be unconvinced, Anderson told Xiaojiao in detail, and asked him curiously how he knew.
"How do you know? Because I've passed by where she lives before, and I've seen the whole process of her turning into a nine-tailed demon fox. The half-blind man said lightly.
"Did you pour her wine?" questioned Arthur.
"No, it's her grandfather. The half-blind man responded.
