Chapter 178: Kindness Is Wrong?
Under the leadership of Cao'er, Qianyu and Silly Qiang bypassed the bustling streets, stepped on a cold and remote narrow road, passed a few paths, and came to a restaurant.
The scale of the restaurant is not large, the signboard is scorched black by the perennial oil smoke, and the handwriting on it is no longer recognizable, the owner is a thin old man, although his hair is gray, his movements are still very flexible, and his movements are quick when stir-frying, and he does not look old at all.
Most of the guests in the hall were poor, and there were some beggars sitting in the corners around them, and Cao'er walked straight into the restaurant and greeted the old man warmly: "Uncle Li!"
The old man turned his head, and when he saw Cao'er, his eyes immediately had brilliance, and he quickly stopped the movements in his hands, wiped his oil-stained hands, walked to Cao'er's side excitedly, looked at Cao'er carefully, and said in a trembling voice: "Cao'er, you ...... Are you still alive?"
"Well, it was these two sons who came to my rescue. Cao'er looked at Qianyu and Silly Qiang.
The old man glanced at Qianyu and Silly Qiang gratefully, and then said: "Cao'er, you should leave Shacheng quickly, the people of the Tang family have been looking for you, they say that you killed Tang Jun, if you catch you, they will cut you with a thousand knives." ”
"Uncle Li, don't worry, these two sons have cultivated to the world, and I will not be in any danger if I follow them. Cao'er smiled confidently.
"Then you have to be careful. The old man admonished, "Cao'er, you must be hungry after a long journey, and I'll go and fry some good dishes for you." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Lee. Cao'er smiled and thanked her.
Qianyu and Silly Qiang chose a side seat to sit down, the tables and chairs were very old, and they could see the thick oil stains on the table.
Before the food was served, a poor old woman with gray hair and a hunched body slowly walked towards Qianyu, the wrinkles on the old woman's face were like crumpled paper, her teeth were almost gone, and her body was bent like a bow, as if a mountain was pressing on her back, and she couldn't breathe.
"Poof!"
As soon as the old woman's eyes were closed, she suddenly fell down, and fell on the road not far from Qianyu and the others.
"Boss, that mother-in-law fainted!" Silly Qiang was about to get up, but Cao'er stopped him, "Childe, there are many liars in Shacheng, don't trust anyone easily, that mother-in-law may be lying to you." I was once deceived by an old man. ”
"But......" Silly turned to look at the other guests in the restaurant, who were eating their own food, and no one seemed to see the fainting old woman on the road.
"Grass girl, no matter what, we can't die without help. Ignoring Cao'er's dissuasion, Silly Qiang got up and walked to the old woman who had fainted on the ground.
Cao'er could only shake her head and sigh.
"Old woman, what's wrong with you?" Silly Qiang gently helped the old woman up, the old woman closed her eyes, and her breathing was very weak, as if she was dying.
"Boss, this old woman can't hold on, can you save her?" Silly Qiang was very worried about the safety of the old woman.
Qianyu didn't want to make a move, he has always been calm and indifferent to outsiders. But Silly Qiang is not an outsider, Silly Qiang asked him to save the old woman, and he naturally couldn't refuse.
He got up and left the restaurant, came to the old woman's side, squatted down, stretched out his hand to probe the old woman's snort, and said, "She is just too weak, give her this meditation pill and help her into the restaurant to rest for a while, it should be fine." ”
Silly Qiang took the Meditation Pill and carefully stuffed it into the old woman's mouth, the Meditation Pill melted in the mouth and could enter the body without swallowing.
After helping the old woman take the pill, Silly Qiang helped the old woman up and put her lying flat under the seat next to Qianyu.
After the food came up, Silly Qiang was the most excited, his saliva was almost 3,000 feet, he picked up the dishes and chopsticks and stuffed them into a bunch of food, and the few meals served were not enough for him to stuff between his teeth. Uncle Li hurriedly fried a few more good dishes and brought them up, which made Silly Qiang exclaim.
Qianyu and Cao'er only ate a little bit, and almost all the meals were eaten by Silly Qiang, and they didn't mind.
"Where am I?" the old woman woke up.
"How do you feel, old woman?" asked Silly Qiang as he wiped the food from the corners of his mouth and hurriedly asked.
"I fainted just now, and you saved me?" asked the old woman.
"The main thing is that the boss saved you, although I also helped a little. ”
"Thank you two young heroes for saving me, otherwise my old bones would have died here today. The old woman actually knelt down for Silly Qiang and Qianyu.
Silly Qiang hurriedly helped the old woman up and said, "Old woman, you are too polite, we are juniors, you are elders, and it is appropriate for juniors to help their elders." ”
"The two young heroes helped the old man today, and the old man had nothing to repay, so he could only kowtow and thank him. After saying that, the old woman knelt down again, but this time she knelt towards Qianyu.
No matter how indifferent Qianyu was, he couldn't bear to watch an old man kneel in front of him, he hurriedly stepped forward to help the old woman up, and said, "The old man doesn't have to be like this, this is not a kindness." ”
"Today's incident, thanks to the help of the two young heroes, the old body has picked up a life. The old woman then said a lot of thanks, and then she bent over and walked away.
After seeing the old woman leave, Qianyu planned to find a place to stay, Cao'er was very familiar with Shacheng, and she knew a very remote inn.
"Boss, check out. ”
Qianyu was about to check out and leave, reaching out to find the mustard seed bag, but found that the mustard seed bag was missing!
"Where's my mustard seed bag?" Qianyu looked down at his waist, where the mustard seed bag was originally hung was already empty.
The mustard bag is not large, it is easy to carry, and it can be hung around the waist. Qianyu lives so big, and he has never seen a mustard seed bag stolen!
"Boss, did you lose your mustard seed bag?" Silly Qiang was also surprised, and then touched his waist, and his face changed suddenly: "Boss, my mustard seed bag is also lost." ”
The two looked at each other and reacted at the same time: "It's that old woman!"
"Two sons, Cao'er has long said that you can't trust anyone in Shacheng, you don't believe it. You should believe it now, right?" said Cao'er.
"Now that it's happened, Miss Cao'er shouldn't talk about it anymore. Qianyu frowned, "Silly Qiang, he is also kind, but he didn't expect that old man to take advantage of her, if I let me catch her, I won't make her feel good!"
"Silly Qiang, we must find the old man immediately, without the slightest delay. "Qianyu's mustard seed bag not only contains all kinds of rare medicinal materials, but also unfathomable exercises such as the Six Seals of the Sealed Immortals, the Taiyi Secret Record, and other rare and rare treasures such as thousand-year-old dragon milk, which can be found unavoidable.
If the old woman sells the exercise cheats in the mustard seed bag or even the thousand-year-old dragon milk to others, even if Qianyu wants to take it back, it will be difficult!
"Let's go!"
As soon as the words fell, Qianyu and Silly Qiang chased in the direction where the old woman left, leaving Cao'er behind her and shouting anxiously: "Two sons, you haven't paid the money yet......"
"Forget it, Cao'er, you don't have to pay for this meal, they are kind to you, and this meal will be regarded as me repaying their kindness for you. The old man smiled indifferently.
"If Cao'er has the opportunity, he will definitely repay Uncle Li's kindness. ”
