Chapter Seventy-Two: Hope in the Heart

The old man refused several times, and he didn't need Ye Fan to stay, saying that he could pass by here in the future and make up for the meal.

"Old man, I'm homeless now, I have nowhere to go, just let me stay, I'll help. ”

"Big brother, you don't have a home?" The sister-in-law was innocent and cute, the tears on her face had not dried up, and she looked up at him, with a sympathetic look on her immature little face.

In the end, the old man asked Ye Fan to stay, cleaned up a room for him in the backyard, and told him that he could leave at any time.

At night, Ye Fan tossed and turned, and finally got up, quietly came to the roof, and lay here looking up at the sky. At this moment, the clouds have dispersed, the bright moon hangs in the sky, sprinkling the moonlight like a thin smoke, and the stars in the sky are dotted, like diamonds shining.

The affection between the old man and the little girl inadvertently touched what he hid in the deepest part of his heart, and the kind faces of his parents appeared in his heart from time to time.

"Are you all right......

Ye Fan looked up at the starry sky, as if he was about to pass through the endless star field, reach the other side of the starry sky, and return to his parents. Whenever he thinks of his parents, his heart is difficult to calm down, and his elderly parents must be very sad when he suddenly disappears unexpectedly.

For parents, losing their only son in their later years will be an unbearable pain, thinking that his parents are sad, Ye Fan feels upset, and can't wait to return to their side immediately, so that their hearts can calm down and show a smile.

But how can he go back when he is so far away from the endless star field? His heart was full of powerlessness, and he could only stare up at the starry sky.

Whenever he thinks of his parents' mood at this moment, Ye Fan is very worried, since he came to this world, he has always hidden his thoughts deeply, and he dare not easily touch and recall, every time he is touched, it will be difficult to calm down.

"No, I must find a way to go back, I can't let my parents who gave birth to me and raised me wash their faces with tears in their old age......" Ye Fan sat up all of a sudden, and said to himself: "There must be a way, I must go back." ”

Seeing those monks flying away from the sky in the primitive ruins, and seeing the five great men of the world, made him feel the strength of the monks, and maybe one day when he is strong enough, he can cross the endless stars, return to his hometown, and return to his parents.

Seeing the horror of the monk with his own eyes, Ye Fan felt a sense of hope in his heart, he felt that the way home had not been completely cut off, and there might be hope.

"I want to be stronger, I want to rush out of this starry sky, I want to go home, I will no longer let my parents cry sadly, I want to make their old age full of smiles......" Ye Fan's words became more and more firm, he was building confidence in himself, and said: "I will definitely be able to do it, I must do it, I want to return to their side!"

Sadness and worry are useless, Ye Fan slowly adjusted his mood, so that his heart gradually calmed down, today was touched by the family affection between the old man and the little girl, so that his last bit of confusion and confusion completely disappeared, and he found his goal and direction.

"Nine Dragons pull the coffin, travel through the star field, come to this space, they can, I can too, I want to be strong enough, sooner or later, I can also cross the void and return to my hometown. Ye Fan's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, he must become stronger, whether he wants to rescue Pang Bo or return to his hometown, he needs strong strength to back him up.

Before he knew it, he felt a little sleepy and fell asleep in the room. It wasn't until the early morning of the second day that the old man's voice came and made him open his eyes.

"Child, why did you get to the house, be careful, don't fall down. ”

The little girl was sleepy-eyed, walked out of the room, and saw Ye Fan sitting up from the room, her eyes suddenly widened in shock, and said, "Big brother, what are you doing?"

Facing the doubts of the old and the young, Ye Fan felt a little embarrassed, and said: "It was too hot last night, I came to the room to enjoy the cool, and accidentally fell asleep." ”

After Ye Fan finished washing, the old man asked him to eat, a small pot of white rice porridge, and a plate of pickles, which were very simple, because their conditions were really limited. The little girl was very sensible, she had already set up the dishes and chopsticks, and then served a bowl of white porridge for Ye Fan, and a full bowl for her grandfather, but when she got to herself, she only filled a little bit, originally she used a small bowl, but it turned out to be so little, she ate it in a few bites, and then put down the dishes and chopsticks.

"Why do you eat so little?" asked the old man.

Although the little girl was wearing patched clothes, she was as beautiful as a delicate porcelain doll, and she patted her little belly and said, "I'm full." ”

"Nonsense, I've only eaten a few bites, how can I be full. ”

"Really full. Last night, I ate the chicken nuggets and half a steamed bun that my grandfather left for me, and I'm not hungry yet. The little girl said, picking up her little bowl and preparing to rinse it.

The old man pulled her back, filled her small bowl with white porridge, and said, "Good boy, when you are growing up, you should eat more, don't worry, we still have food at home." ”

"I'm not worried, I'm really full, grandpa, you have to eat more......" The little girl poured a lot of white porridge from her small bowl into the old man's big bowl.

The old man couldn't stop it, and said nothing more, just sighed.

"Grandpa, will those bad guys still come today?" The little girl's red face showed a look of fear, and her voice was very immature, and said: "They have robbed our restaurant, and now they still come here every day to make trouble, we can't do business at all, and now we can't even eat, why don't they let us go?"

"It's okay, you don't have to worry, as long as grandpa is here, you won't be hungry. The old man touched her head, and then added some white porridge to the little girl's bowl.

Ye Fan didn't say anything beside him, and silently finished this simple breakfast, but it was difficult for his heart to calm down.

The old man's surname is Jiang, which is a very old surname, and it is very difficult to trace back to it, but the old man is very ordinary, just one of the many living beings, and his life is very difficult now. The sensible and beautiful little girl is named Tingting, and her parents died two years ago, leaving her and the old man to depend on each other.

Ye Fan didn't say anything, and said to the old man after eating early and late: "Uncle, I'll go out for a walk." ”

"You're not familiar here, be careful. The old man admonished.

This town is not big or small, and there are more than 1,000 households, close to 5,000 people. At the most prosperous intersection, there are several restaurants and inns, and most of the grocery stores are concentrated there, and most of the other places are residential areas.

Ye Fan walked around the town, and then walked out of the town, many fields were close to the town, and then in the distance were the mountains and forests, and there were hunters who went into the mountains to hunt every day.

Ye Fan walked into the mountain forest, the more he walked in, the more surprised he became, standing on a high mountain and looking into the distance, he found that the mountains in the distance were undulating, endless, misty, and the primitive old forest seemed to have no end.

"Roaring ......"

In the depths of the mountains and forests, there were bursts of roaring sounds, Ye Fan was not worried, but showed joy, the town can indeed allow him to meditate and cultivate, not only peaceful, but also close to the deep mountains, there must be strange beasts and elixirs, these are things he needs very much.

Ye Fan walked around the mountains for a short time, but he didn't go far, there was time in the future, he was not in a hurry, he walked out near noon, and found some hunters and some herb pickers on the way.

"It's really not easy for ordinary people to live...... Ye Fan sighed a little, he found that several hunters were carrying some prey, and at the same time carrying a bloodied corpse, walking towards the town, they must have been killed by large beasts while hunting.

In the distance, several roe deer were drinking water in the mountain stream, Ye Fan went around silently, and then threw a mountain rock in his hand violently, and with a "bang", a roe deer fell between the streams. Then he shot a roe deer in the mountains and forests, and then walked back.

On the way, some hunters saw an eleven or twelve-year-old boy dragging a roe deer and a roe deer, all of them showed surprised looks, Ye Fan didn't care, he wanted to live in this town for a long time, these were unavoidable.

Near noon, Ye Fan returned to the town, sold the roe deer to a butcher, and then went to buy some rice noodles, and walked to Uncle Jiang's restaurant with the roe deer.

From a distance, I saw that there were many people gathered there, and Tingting's helpless cry came through the crowd, Ye Fan's heart suddenly "chuckled" and quickly rushed over.

The old man's gray hair was scattered, there was a lot of blood on his face, and he sat weakly on the ground, and his patched clothes were stained with a lot of dust. Xiao Tingting cried sadly, wiped the blood on the old man's face with her small sleeve, and cried to a few vicious people in front of her: "You are bad people, you robbed grandpa's restaurant, and now we have no food to eat, and you won't let ......us go."

A middle-aged man with a yellow face squatted down and tapped Xiao Tingting's forehead hard, causing her to sit on the ground at once, and said, "What do you know about hairy girls!"

"What's coming at me, don't treat the child like this......" Uncle Jiang protected Tingting behind him, wiped the blood on his face, and said, "What do you want?"

"We don't want to do anything, come here to eat, and you actually say that there is no food, what are you doing in opening a restaurant? ”

"Bad people, you come to eat white food every day, where do we have the money to support you......" Xiao Tingting cried behind Uncle Jiang.

Many people in the crowd of onlookers couldn't stand it, but they didn't dare to step forward, so they had to persuade Uncle Jiang and said, "Old Jiang, close this small shop and leave here with your granddaughter." ”

"Yes, there are immortal cultivators in other families, where do we mortals provoke it, you better leave quickly. ”

"It's good to leave despite being uprooted. ”

......

"What are you talking about?" The yellow-faced middle-aged man stood up and glanced at the people around him, and the voices suddenly fell silent.

Ye Fan was furious, but he didn't make a move immediately, there were immortal cultivators in the other party's family, and he was afraid that if he collided, he would harm the two ancestors and grandchildren. Of course, he will never let go of these people, and if he doesn't make a move now, it doesn't mean that he can't settle accounts afterwards.

At this time, the yellow-faced middle-aged man and several other people swaggered away, and the onlookers stepped forward one after another to persuade Uncle Jiang, mixed with Xiao Tingting's sad crying.

It wasn't until a long time passed that everyone gradually dispersed, Xiao Tingting's big eyes were red, she helped the old man to stand up, and walked towards the small restaurant.

Seeing such a kind old man in his last years being bullied like this, and seeing Xiao Tingting, who was covered in patches, crying so sadly, Ye Fan felt angry, he looked at the few people who disappeared at the end of the street, and clenched his fists hard.
