Chapter 71

As if sensing their gaze, the old man sat in the car body, retracted his legs, twisted his white beard and said, "I came out in a hurry, I didn't pay attention to my demeanor, forgive me." ”

He turned his head to look at the slow ox cart again, and his eyebrows furrowed: "Can this cow find a way?"

Li Ye retracted his gaze, and didn't seem to want to deal with him very much, so Er'er could only answer: "Where are you going?"

"Qianxi City. The old man raised his chin, looking a little arrogant, and at first glance he was used to it at home.

But right now, there is no one else around him, and he can only rely on the two offspring in front of him who don't know whether they are good or bad, the old man pinched the hem of his clothes and thought for a while, but he still slowed down his tone: "I have an acquaintance over there, and I don't know if I'm still alive." ”

"Acquaintance?" Erer tilted his head, feeling that this title was very distant, but looking at the old man's appearance, if he was really just an acquaintance, why should he be in such a hurry?

Anyway, there was nothing to do on the road, the old man groaned for a while, and still said bluntly:

"Last night, a messenger from Qianxi City rushed eight hundred miles to the nearby city, saying that someone had gone mad and rushed into the market in a carriage with gunpowder hidden. I have an unfilial daughter, who happens to be married there, and the family carriage can't go out of the city, so I thought about taking a look myself, and if I really fell that bad luck, I could collect her body. ”

Er'er raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Liye.

Is this caused by the Deathgate?

Li Ye half-closed his eyes, as if he was recuperating his spirits, sensing her doubts, and said nonchalantly: "Although there is resentment in the Gate of Death and Life, it will not directly hurt people, it will only stimulate the evil thoughts that people already have in their hearts." ”

The human heart is filthy, and as long as the door of death and life falls on the earth, it must be a catastrophe, and this is just the beginning.

As soon as the little thing heard this, he was anxious, and secretly urged the ox cart to go fast, but Li Ye didn't think so, mortals, they are born in the cycle of life and death, and there will be another one if they die. What's more, they are not at all likable.

Glancing at the old man with a face full of annoyance, he shook his head slightly.

He was extremely angry, stubborn and self-serving, and lived for sixty years, but he had twenty years of resentment hidden in his stomach.

Boring.

Retracting his gaze, he continued to close his eyes.

The old man was still chattering: "I said a long time ago that the family can't get married, but she didn't listen, and it made me unbearable, I haven't been in contact for 20 years, how can there be such an unfilial person." ”

Erer propped his chin and listened, and said curiously: "Why can't that family get married?"

"You don't know, the poor boy she fancies, he has no responsibility and no interest, he is submissive, and he doesn't even dare to breathe when he stands in front of me. The old man spat and said angrily, "I don't know what I made up to deceive my daughter, and I would rather cut off relations with me than accompany others to live a poor life." ”

"It's okay now, I don't know if I'm still alive. ”

"I have a house full of children and grandchildren, I don't know her little blood, she can't threaten me, I haven't bowed my head in the past 20 years. ”

Raising his chin proudly, the old man shook his head: "I'm very hard." ”

He clapped his hands on the field, and Erer wondered: "Then why are you in a hurry this time?"

"I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry. Waving his hand and denying it, the old man raised his eyebrows and said, "I have a business and a shop in Qianxi City, I hurried over to have a look, and by the way, I took a look at her." ”

That's not what you said.

Whispering, Erer thought the old man was weird and funny, so he secretly changed a shoe for him and threw it in the car body, and then pretended to suddenly find out: "Ah, your shoe has fallen." ”

The old man lowered his head, picked up the shoe and looked at it, and then looked at the other one on his foot, his eyes were a little dazed: "When I went out, I only wore one, why am I here?"

Erer spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know, and the old man wondered for a moment, but still put on his shoes.

At his age, his body bones are not very strong, and he ran out in such a hurry, and he didn't know if he had any life to go back. The ox cart was bumpy, far less comfortable than the carriage, and he covered his waist in pain and muttered in a low voice, "It's so far." ”

"It's not far. Err looked up at the city in front of him, "We will be at the gate of the city in a moment." ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly got up and looked forward, his cloudy pupils widened: "Arrived?"

How did he remember that it would take a whole day to rush back and forth between the two places, and it would take a whole day to rush eight hundred miles, not to mention this slow ox cart, and it would take four or five days to see the city gate, how long would he have been up, and how could he have to arrive?

Rubbing his eyes, making sure that the words "Qianxi City" were hanging on the city gate in front of him, the old man gasped twice, and glanced at the two people in the car with some surprise.

The little girl looked lively and watery, and there was no problem, but the person sitting behind her was gloomy, with sharp eyebrows, and he was not an ordinary person at first glance.

Isn't it possible that youkai have met?

His face was slightly pale, and the old man grabbed the edge of the car body and coughed heavily.

Li Ye opened his eyes, and his gaze swept lightly towards him.

With a suffocation in his heart, the old man even suppressed his cough.

"Martial law in Qianxi City, everyone got off. There was a long line at the gates, and some of the soldiers guarding the gates rushed behind with spears and shouted.

The old man looked at it and wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but in a flash, the slow ox cart was actually driving directly on the streets of the city.

"......," he looked at the man in horror.

"What are you doing? Erer tugged at Liye's cuffs in disgust, "It's not that you can't scare people." ”

With a light snort, Li Ye said, "He can't stand that toss." ”

The old man in the old age of the wind and candle, tossing twice, must die here to make her cry.

Erer looked at him, and then at the old man who was so frightened that he almost stopped breathing, and for a moment he didn't know who was tossing people.

"Go find someone. The car stopped on the side of the road, and Erle helped him down, "The silver ticket is in hand." ”

The silver ticket that had been thrown out was put back into his bosom, and the old man staggered to the side of the road, staring at their ox cart in a daze.

The car quickly disappeared around the corner of the street, and it took him a long time to come to his senses and sit down on the ground trembling.

Mortals believe in gods, but when they encounter something they can't understand, their first reaction is a monster, not a god, that is the narrowness and badness of people's hearts, Li Ye has long been used to it, and he didn't expect the old man to have a good impression of them, anyway, as soon as people leave, it has nothing to do with them.

What he cares more about ......

"What are you thinking?"

Erer was lowering his head and covering his head, and when he heard the words, he looked up, and his eyes were foggy.

"Looks like this is it. She gestured confusedly to the path she was traveling, "I seem to have seen it somewhere." ”

The roads of the mortal world all look the same, what have you seen but not seen? Li Ye disagreed, but also glanced in the direction she pointed.
