Chapter 8: The Scarlet Sky

After experiencing the morning's events, the two went home early, and the old man didn't say to rest and got up directly to prepare to pick up waste, and Xingyu also went out to pick up waste together on the grounds that he wanted to help his grandfather.

Xingyu came out to pick up waste with his grandfather, on the one hand, he wanted to come out to relax and accompany his grandfather, and on the other hand, he also wanted to come out to see if there was any work, and he was ready to find a job for himself.

Grandpa is already old, and he can't read a few big characters, so he really has no choice but to come out to pick up waste, but Xingyu is different, he is young and strong now, if he goes out to find a stable job, he can improve the living conditions of the two of them very well.

In the past, Xingyu often followed his grandfather out to pick up waste, but usually his grandfather would let Xingyu go back soon, for fear of affecting Xingyu's studies. Today, Grandpa just opened his mouth and closed his mouth again, and Xingyu, who noticed this detail, felt a wave of guilt floating through his heart.

The two of them didn't pick up waste with others today, only Grandpa and Xingyu, and they rarely saw people on the road. The two of them also seemed to have discussed it, and they tacitly did not mention Xingyu's withdrawal from school and what happened in the morning.

If you don't mention the sacks on the two of them, it's really like a couple who just came out for a walk. Gradually, what happened in the morning was also left behind by the two, and sometimes there were talking and laughing, as if returning to the time when Xing Yu was just sensible when he was a child, and his grandfather pulled him out to play.

"Grandpa, look at the scenery over there!"

The old man's eyes glanced at it, and he didn't seem to be moved, "It's not that grandpa is blowing with you, the scenery outside is more beautiful, I think I was alone outside, and the river is ...... north and south."

Regardless of whether grandpa is really bragging, Xing Yu believes it in his heart anyway, and he has been listening carefully, asking some questions from time to time, and the time will be afternoon unconsciously.

The whole city is bathed in the setting sun, and everything looks so beautiful at this moment, but Xingyu always has a bad feeling in his heart. Then he glanced at the sky again, but there was nothing, just a little red from the setting sun.

But as time went by, I don't know if it was Xingyu's illusion, the red seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and the red was a little infiltrating. Then Xingyu glanced at his grandfather beside him again, and found that his grandfather looked as usual and didn't notice anything unusual in the sky.

But Xingyu's uneasiness grew stronger and stronger, as if he was about to lose something important.

"Grandpa, why do you see the sky over there so red?" Xingyu couldn't help but ask.

The old man just glanced at it and said, "What a fuss, the usual sunset is like this!"

"No, it seems to be a little too red today. ”

"Red is red, can you still want my old life?" said Grandpa indifferently.

Although it was unintentional, Xingyu's heart suddenly tightened for some reason, and his face was a little pale, and he finally suppressed these changes, but fortunately his grandfather didn't notice it.

Then he glanced at the bloody sky, which seemed to be red, and muttered, "I hope it's my delusion......

At the same time, two uninvited guests appeared near Xingyu and his grandfather's house.

The two were dressed in tatters, which was very much in line with the image of the people in the area, except that they wore a black cap and a white cap respectively. The brim of the hat is pressed so low that it is difficult to see the face, which is a bit weird.

"This is it, this is the last goal of our trip. ”

"yes, the mission went unusually well, and I said at the time, what can this group of natives do?"

Dai Bai paused so much, seemed to acquiesce to his statement, and then added, "That being said, we can't take it lightly, this last person is an old man with a grandson who is going to school, and we have to get everything done before his grandson comes back!"

"Okay, I've already faked the traces of him stumbling and falling into the river, and then we can just catch the person and bring him back, and it won't take long. ”

"yes, as soon as this mission is completed, we can go back. The figure in the white hat froze, as if recalling the scene of his hometown.

Then the two of them disappeared in a corner near Xingyujia, silent, even if ordinary people passed by the two, they did not attract the slightest attention.

It's almost evening, and at this point in time, grandpa has almost returned home, but today Xingyu is always slow and procrastinating, so he has delayed until now.

"Grandpa, let's go shopping for a while, I haven't walked with you for a long time. Xingyu's uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, and the source seemed to point to the family, as if there was some devil in the family.

"Tomorrow, grandpa is really tired and hungry today, let grandpa cook a meal today, let you taste my craft, haha. ”

The old man was in a good mood, and Xingyu didn't want to lose his interest, so he could only respond with a "good!"

When he first walked into this scavenger's residential area, the master also threw his sack of waste to Xing Yu, "Go, take these to your Uncle Li and weigh them, they should be able to sell them for a lot of money." ”

Then without waiting for Xingyu to respond, he walked straight to his own house, and Xingyu had no choice but to come to Uncle Li's house with all these wastes. Uncle Li in Grandpa's mouth belongs to the people who buy these waste products in this area, and it is convenient for waste pickers to pick up the waste and sell it directly.

Uncle Li's house looks like a garbage heap from a distance, but each pair of waste is placed very neatly and classified very clearly.

"Uncle Li, seeing that you are so happy, today's harvest is quite good!"

"Ah, Xiao Yu, you're here to help your grandfather hand over the scrap today, right? You kid is sensible, I'll give you a little more money today. As soon as Uncle Li saw Xing Yu carrying two sacks of things, he understood what Xing Yu was coming.

"Okay, then thank you, Uncle Li. ”

And in the corner next to Xingyu's house, several voices kept echoing.

"The information we got above is correct, why haven't we even seen a figure now?" asked the man in the black hat.

"Wait, if we don't come in another half an hour, we'll go back, and we'll come back tomorrow!" Then, the white hat's eyes flashed, "Here, ready to act." ”

After the old man was accompanied by Xingyu today, things in the morning had almost eased up, and he was in a good mood at the moment, humming a little Peking Opera tune in his mouth, but he didn't notice the two black shadows that were rapidly approaching him.
