Chapter 113: Little Five
There are many people on the streets, and the simple livelihood of the old and the young has not improved.
Most people passing by won't take a second look, let alone stop in a hurry, listen to the tune, and reward a few copper coins.
It's more about not having that world and cells, and appreciating the old man's slightly vicissitudes of tune.
The child was listless, perhaps disappointed with today's harvest in the bamboo basket, not too enthusiastic, and too lazy to pay attention to the guests who did not necessarily throw down a few copper coins even if they were willing to stop listening to the music.
Upstairs, Li Xian finished eating, and said with satisfaction: "The taste is okay, and the music is very good." ”
"It's just a little too sad. Tang Que, who had been listening to the tune, took the last sip of wine: "It's not suitable for a young man like Childe." ”
Li Xian understood what he meant, he was indeed a young man with little experience, and his hair was dyed white and people couldn't see the vicissitudes of life.
"That's right. Li Xian got up and went downstairs, and Tang Que followed.
When he got downstairs, Li Xian squatted down, took out a tael of silver, and put it in a bamboo basket, the child's eyes widened, I don't know whether he was sighing that the son in front of him was generous enough, or surprised that he hadn't received so much silver for a long time.
Li Xian smiled and glanced at the child: "Are you hungry?"
The child nodded.
Li Xian was about to continue talking, when the old man next to him finally finished playing a tune and arched his hand in gratitude: "Thank you Gongzi for the reward." The sincerity in the words could not hide the deep wariness in the sunken eye sockets.
Li Xian didn't speak, stood up, and waved his hand to the child who had been staring at him.
"Childe, do you like children very much?" asked Tang Que as he walked.
Li Xian shook his head: "Fate, I always think this kid is very special, as for what is special, I can't say." ”
Tang Que turned around and continued to look at the old and young a few more times, there was nothing for him to continue to pay attention to, saying that it was special, Tang Que didn't see it.
The shopkeeper who was doing business next to him stood in front of the door, driving away the old man and the child, and scolded in his mouth: "Mourn or not, pull something, take a walk, don't affect my business." ”
The old man hurriedly bowed his head apologetically: "I'm sorry, let's go." "Pick up the bamboo basket, pull the child, and leave the place where the erhu was originally pulled.
Li Xian looked at the two grandparents and grandchildren who were far away, and the child who happened to be pulled by his grandfather, glanced back at Li Xian.
One big and one small, the two met their eyes, and the child finally showed a smile.
Li Xian reciprocated with a smile, turned around, and ignored the grandfather and grandson who had a relationship on the streets of Qingtai County.
Tang Que came to Qingtai County for the first time, saying that it was to go shopping, in fact, he had already traveled all over the world and seen countless prosperous places, and there was really nothing to visit in small Qingtai County.
Just came out for a trip, and being able to take a walk with Li Gongzi and talk about some recent things was the reason why Tang Que followed Li Xian.
The senior brothers and sisters probably haven't come back, and Li Xian is waiting blindly even if he returns to the inn, so it's better to go out and take a walk.
The two went around and talked a lot about the recent things on the rivers and lakes.
Tang Que was very happy that Li Xian had a stroke in Biyun Mountain, and now the rivers and lakes are messy, a Shang Hongye, a Ming Yuan, and the righteous path and the demon path are like monkeys that have been stepped on their tails, and they don't seem to be happy if they don't do something.
During this time in Chaotian Sect, Li Gongzi's strength has progressed rapidly, and now he can be at ease in the face of a master in the Dan period, and the original goal has been achieved.
The two walked for a while, and they didn't know if it was really fate, and they ran into the old man and the child again.
In front of the roadside stall, the child sat on a chair and ate the noodles in the bowl very fragrantly, and the old man stood aside and nibbled on the baked cakes.
From time to time, the child raised his head and said, "Grandpa, I can't finish eating." ”
"Grandpa is full, as long as there is bread, Xiao Wu, you can't waste food, you eat it all. The old man finished eating the baked cake and licked the crumbs from the corner of his mouth.
The child lowered his head and snorted the noodles, and the soup base at the bottom of the bowl was drunk.
After paying, the old man pulled the child forward.
Xiao Wu, who is full of wine and food, also has time to look east and west, and the colorful things are the most interested, and every time he looks at them a few more times, he no longer pays attention to them.
Sugar gourds and the like, I just don't look at it.
There was a hidden weapon flying, and ten meters away, Li Xian had already felt it.
The song sword was too eye-catching, and Ming Yuan turned into a streamer of light, and disappeared into invisibility when the hidden weapon was about to approach the old man and the child.
The old man continued to walk, not even reacting, looking at the pace of walking, he was not a person who practiced martial arts, he was a very ordinary old man.
Tang Que frowned slightly, and glanced at Tang Que: "Who wants to do something to an unarmed ordinary person?" While speaking, he paid attention to the fact that people were coming and going on the street, and if the other party was a master, he insisted on hiding in the dark, and it was difficult to find out.
"Come along and have a look. Li Xian followed behind the old and the young, keeping an eye on the movements around him.
Another hidden weapon, the target was still the old man and the child, Ming Yuan slashed over, resisting the hidden weapon.
"Childe, it can't go on like this, the enemy is in the dark, there is always something we can't take care of. Tang Que proposed.
The child also seemed to see the big brother who was following behind, and turned back to Li Xian and smiled.
Li Xian responded with a smile, walked a few steps to catch up, stood next to the old man, and whispered in his ear: "Old man, it's not safe here, someone wants to do something to you." ”
The old man was stunned for a moment, then picked up the child on the ground and looked around in horror.
"Childe, the person chasing me is strong, and there is also a force behind him, Childe, the people who passed by our grandfather really don't want to let Childe get involved; it's a pity that half of the person who went into the earth died, but this child is still young, and he will live in the world in the future, I'm afraid it will be ......" The old man suddenly raised his head and stared at the boy in front of him seriously: "Childe, I don't have much time, can I ask you a word, can you guarantee the safety of this child? If not, we will leave now; if we can, we can only entrust this child to you." Although it is a reluctant request, there is really no way out, so this decision will be made. ”
Li Xian and Tang Que glanced at each other, but they didn't expect that there would be such a thing on the streets of Qingtai County.
Li Xian agreed: "Old man, the younger generation is willing to do their best." ”
Li Xian took an old man and a young man to a nearby teahouse.
I asked for a few cups of tea and asked the old man: "Old man, if there is something unspeakable, can you say it clearly?" ”
"Childe. The old man didn't touch the tea: "It's already a reluctant invitation to let you take care of the child." No matter how much you say, it will only affect the child, if he is the day, this child makes the son embarrassed, he can throw it away, the son has already done his duty, and the old man can't ask for more. The old man coughed a few times in succession: "I don't have much time, I originally thought that I had no way out, and I wanted to find a home for this child, but now I am being targeted, I am afraid that it will not work; The son is very kind and virtuous, and he can only repay it in the next life. ”
Tang Que grabbed the old man's hand and gave him a pulse, and not long after, he gave Li Xian an expression of powerlessness, shook his head and sighed.
"Don't bother, the dying person is not bad for a while. The old man held Xiao Wu in his arms and stroked his head.
The child didn't seem to understand what the adults said, drank tea, looked up at his grandfather who was smiling at him, and said in a childish voice, "Grandpa, go see the lion dance." ”
"Okay, take Xiao Wu to see the lion dance. The old man smiled and agreed.
