70. Dumb old man

"People from Redstone Town next door," Jiang Yingbai replied.

When the townspeople heard Jiang Yingbai's words, they couldn't help but turn their eyes back, "Do you have something to do?" ”

During this time, he met many people who had fled, and for the first time he had seen such a glamorous scene, as if the earthquake had not caused them any inconvenience.

Jiang Yingbai didn't explain too much, and said casually, "It's something to find him, do you know where the dumb old man went?" ”

The townsfolk bowed close to Jiang Yingbai and whispered, "He didn't go out, he was in the house." ”

Jiang Yingbai asked, "Since he is in the house, why is there no answer when he knocks on the door?" ”

The townsman swallowed, glanced at Xiao Lou and immediately retracted, "He never communicates with outsiders. ”

Jiang Yingbai was a little curious, the townspeople looked a little frightened and dumb old man, but he had a strange temper, so as not to make the people around him fearful, there must be other reasons.

Jiang Yingbai took out two copper free coins from his pocket and quietly stuffed them into the hands of the townspeople.

Copper free coins are less than double the denomination of free coins, and 1 copper free coin is converted to about 6 RMB.

The fear on the townspeople's faces vanished, and with a smile on their faces, they tucked the free coins back into their pockets and patted their chests.

"If you want to know anything, just ask, I know everything, whose wife ran away with someone, and where did the extra dog come from on the side of the road."

When the townspeople behind him saw Jiang Yingbai taking out the money, their eyes were straight, and they said noisily that their news was the most well-informed.

He waved his hand away from the other townsfolk behind him, "Go, go." ”

Jiang Yingbai asked, "Do you know, why the mute old man lives here?" ”

The townspeople approached Jiang Yingbai, stared at a face and took Jiang Yingbai and a few people, and walked to a remote place, "This ......"

Behind him, several townsfolk chattered and discussed, expressing their displeasure with his mysterious behavior.

He touched the back of his head, "Actually, I don't know." ”

Lotta snorted dissatisfiedly, "What don't you know, what money do you charge?" ”

The townsfolk clutched the money in his pocket and took a step back, "Give it to me, it's mine." ”

Jiang Yingbai didn't care about the conversation between the two, "How is the mute old man?" ”

The townsfolk subconsciously wanted to go back, not so good.

But when the words came to his lips, he found that the mute old man had not done anything bad, and it was better to be strict with money, so he said.

"The mute old man doesn't like to talk, he doesn't have any friends, in fact, he is nothing special, a very ordinary person."

It would be strange what caused him to suddenly occupy the abandoned small building.

"Has he ever done anything harmful?"

The townsfolk shook their heads.

"Did anything special happen in town a few days before he moved here?"

After the townsfolk thought about it carefully, he said a bunch of things.

For example, on that day, Child A was caught stealing fruit from Family B, and the toy in his pocket fell out in his pocket in a hurry, and the adult of Family B gave the toy to Child B.

The next day, Child B put the toy on his head and swaggered around Child A in circles.

C had a chicken missing, C suspected that D had stolen it, and the two quarreled until they reached the mayor, who scolded them and drove them out.

The two townsfolk began to curse each other for 1 free coin, and scolded each other for several days, from day to night, and the noisy people in the neighborhood couldn't sleep.

……

Jiang Yingbai and Luo Ta listened carefully at first, thinking that they could hear useful news, but the more they listened, the more speechless they became.

Under the cold gaze of the two, the townsman thought frantically, and finally he remembered something.

"Don't be angry, young people, don't be too impatient, too impatient......"

Lotta interrupted him impatiently, "If you talk nonsense, I'll kill you." ”

Seeing this, the townspeople immediately said, "Didn't I remember one thing, a few days ago, the mute old man did some handymanship, repairing tables, doing coolies and so on. ”

Jiang Yingbai asked, "Doesn't he just need food?" ”

The townsman shook his head, "No, it's all nonsense that others don't understand, the dumb old man doesn't ask for food at all, he never goes to other people's houses to beg for food." ”

"The mute old man likes to sit on the street, so he is thought to be asking for food, he never shouts when he sits on the street, and he will not take money when others give him."

Jiang Yingbai and Luo Ta didn't speak, and continued to listen.

"His income comes from doing handymen for the people in the town, and 1 free coin can make him work as a coolie for a day, and if he is not satisfied, he can change it, and he will not say anything."

The mute old man doesn't steal or rob, he has never had a quarrel with anyone, he works hard, he is obviously an honest person, even if his personality is a little strange, he will not make the people around him afraid.

Jiang Yingbai asked, "According to what you say, isn't it normal for him to go to work as a handyman?" ”

"Well, I know, mainly because he's been doing handyman for the past few days, and I've heard from people that he went to the Pocodo magician's house."

Luota, who was originally dissatisfied and wanted to hit someone, heard this, and her face changed instantly.

The dumb old man actually got involved with Pocodo, what happened between them, did they reach some kind of agreement? So the dumb moved here.

Maybe it was the mute old man who had kidnapped the men, and Lotta thought for a moment.

"Do you know what he's going to do?"

"I don't know."

Jiang Yingbai asked his most curious question, "Why are you afraid of him?" ”

The townsman's face froze with the naked eye, and he quickly glanced at the abandoned small building, and found that there was nothing, so he spoke.

"His face is horrible! You don't know! ”

The townsman stretched out his hand and gestured in the air, about 10 centimeters long, and sighed in a tone of embarrassment, "There is a wound on his face, so- a large wound, which looks like it scares the person to death." ”

Staring at his gesture, Jiang Yingbai imagined in his mind, this scar almost ran through his entire face, and it was hard not to suspect that he was a bandit before.

Without a story, it is impossible to have such a long scar on the face.

Without a little background, it is impossible to deal with the scar on the face.

No wonder the townspeople are afraid of him, with this kind of appearance, even if he has a particularly good temper, it is difficult to make a good impression.

Jiang Yingbai interrogated some more questions, and in the midst of the townspeople's nonsense, she only found some useful things, and she didn't let the townspeople go back until there was nothing to ask.

Lota saw the townspeople leave before asking, "What's next?" ”

Jiang Yingbai walked in front, "Keep knocking." ”

After the three of them knocked for a minute, the door finally opened from the inside.

The moment the door opened, the townspeople in the street returned to their homes, and in a short time all the people in the street disappeared.

A fierce face appeared in the cracks, his eyebrows were thick and thick, he had a cold expression, and the corners of his mouth and eyes were drooping downward, giving him a feeling of being very angry.

Of course, the most important thing is the scar that runs through his entire face.
