Chapter 111: Old Man
Li Chongrun and General Zuo Wei stood on the streets of Pingding County, which had been washed away by floods, wearing hats and robes.
In the distance, the carts of the small traders and the sails hanging in front of the shop were scattered on the ground.
The mud from several collapsed houses has made the already dilapidated county even more messy.
Li Chongrun looked at the already tattered road under his feet, and his brows furrowed.
Pingding County Commander Kong Xiangwen stood in front of Li Chongrun.
"This is where you rule?" Li Chongrun looked at Kong Xiangwen with a solemn expression and asked.
"Your Highness, I ......"
Kong Xiangwen faced Li Chongrun's questioning, and originally wanted to say something, but he didn't say a word just halfway through the words.
Seeing that the devastated county town is in shambles.
At this time, there are no people on the road, the whole county is located in the downstream of the mountain pass, the dam of Niangziguan has not been built, the people here have been transferred, if the mouth of the upstream river is washed away again, the entire county will be flooded.
While Li Chongrun was observing, he saw an old man walking out with a hunched foot at the end of the street.
Originally, it was dark, and the sight was not very good.
Li Chongrun watched the old man walk towards a dilapidated house around the corner, holding a cane in his right hand and a dilapidated pocket in his left hand, carefully tugging it in his hand, looking down from time to time, deliberately hiding in his arched body.
The old man is too thin, with a skinny body, what can he hide.
General Zuo Wei's eyes were much better than Li Chongrun's, and when he saw the old man appear, he was the first to find out.
At this time, Li Chongrun did not hesitate and walked in the direction of the old man.
The general of the left guard was behind him and reminded him: "Your Highness...... Be careful! ”
"An old man, be careful of what?"
Li Chongrun's tone was not good, and General Zuo Wei followed him and walked in front of the old man.
"Old man, why are you still here?" Li Chongrun stepped forward and said.
Before he finished speaking, Li Chongrun hurriedly took off the hat and coat on his body, walked behind the old man, and draped it on him.
General Zuo Wei and the people behind him saw Li Chongrun's actions and hurriedly took off their robes.
"Huh?" The old man raised his head slightly, the crutch in his right hand tapped hard, and hid the pocket of his left hand towards his body, for fear that Li Chongrun would snatch it.
Li Chongrun watched the old man's difficult actions and wanted to take the left hand bag.
When he first touched the bag, the old man's expression became angry, and he grabbed the bag and glared at Li Chongrun and asked, "Do you want to ...... What! ”
As he spoke, the old man angrily raised the cane in his right hand and smashed it towards Li Chongrun's position.
This action was not heavy, but the bag that the old man was dragging in his left hand was unexpectedly scattered.
Li Chongrun watched as two steamed buns soaked in the rain fell out of the scattered bag and fell to the ground.
The old man looked at the steamed buns that fell to the ground, how could he still have the idea of beating Li Chongrun.
Directly put the crutch in his right hand still on the ground, dragged his slow and heavy body and lowered his head, to pick up the steamed buns that fell on the ground.
Li Chongrun looked at the steamed buns that had been soaked in the water, and his movements were much faster than the old man's, he bowed down and picked up the steamed buns in the water.
The steamed buns are soaked in water, and they are already soft.
The outermost upper epidermis has begun to peel off.
After the old man saw Li Chongrun pick up the steamed buns, he actually snatched them up.
His lips trembled and he looked at Li Chongrun, and said angrily: "You dare to snatch my steamed buns, I ...... I'm fighting with you! ”
After speaking, he subconsciously raised his right hand, only to find that the crutches were not in his hand.
But he still raised his fist and smashed it towards Li Chongrun.
"Your Highness......"
General Zuo Wei and the others stood behind Li Chongrun, watching the old man's movements with nervous expressions.
Li Chongrun felt the movements of General Zuo Wei and the others, and immediately raised his hand to stop them from stepping forward.
The old man's fist hit Li Chongrun's body with all his might.
This punch, although he tried his best, was painless in Li Chongrun's opinion.
"Old man, why are you still in the county, isn't the entire county transferred?" Although Li Chongrun was punched heavily, he still looked at the old man with concern and asked.
After asking this sentence, Li Chongrun looked at Kong Xiangwen beside him.
At this time, Kong Xiangwen did not explain, and also looked at the old man.
The old man listened to Li Chongrun's words, did not answer, and carefully kicked the steamed bun in his hand into his arms.
Without saying a word, he walked back to his home.
At this time, it was still raining heavily.
Li Chongrun and the others watched the old man's actions without any hesitation, and hurriedly followed.
When he returned to his dilapidated home, Li Chongrun frowned tightly.
It's not even a home at all, not even a whole wall.
If this is a ruin, it is a little shivering, at least the ruins and the walls and dirt are just collapsed or deserted.
At this time, the scene was a little chilling, and the shivering made my heart chill.
But it was in such a scene that Li Chongrun saw an old woman in a corner that could shelter from the wind and rain.
After the old man entered the house, he walked up to the old grandmother, slowly squatted on the ground, and looked at the old woman, who was already very weak, grinning and laughing.
"What do you think I've brought you back?" After speaking, the old man took out the steamed bun that had been soaked in water in his arms.
At this time, the steamed bun has shrunk a circle, and the soft noodles on the outside have fallen off, flowing out along the old man's hand.
He looked at the steamed bun scum flowing out, and hurriedly blocked it with his other hand, but how could he stop it.
The old grandmother opened her weak eyes, looked at the steamed bun in the old man's hand, and there were some waves in her weak expression, and then asked with concern: "Where did you get this white-faced steamed bun?" Old man, you ...... You won't steal ...... Let's steal something! ”
The old man looked at the old grandmother and grinned, "There is no one in the county anymore, there is no one in the Feng landlord's house for a long time, I really can't find anything to eat, so I went over to take a look!" ”
This kind of white-flour bun is indeed a very rare thing, and even if there is no disaster, they have never eaten this kind of thing.
This kind of fine food, I have only heard of it, but I have never seen it.
Not to mention eating, if you put it in normal times, you wouldn't dare to think about it.
After speaking, I saw the old grandmother nodding, looked at the old man and said, "Eat quickly, I can't do it!" ”
"Nonsense, why can't it work, you eat! You eat! The old man Yang angrily handed the steamed bun in his hand in the direction of the old grandmother.
The moment he just let go of his hand, how could the steamed bun in his hand withstand such a toss, and it spread out again.
Seeing the steamed buns in his hand spread out, the old man's tone became anxious, and the already weather-beaten face on his face became hideous.
He watched the steamed buns in his hand slowly scatter, and the corners of his eyes turned red.
There were teardrops in the corners of the eyes mixed with the rain.
