Chapter 177 An old man(1/2)
The Flame City was particularly lively today, with a constant stream of people coming and going at the city gate. An old man slowly walked towards the city.
This is an extremely ordinary old man, with an unremarkable appearance. No one would pay attention to him when walking on the street.
He is no more than seven feet tall, and his complexion is somewhat pale. His thin face is covered with spots, which are age spots. He is dressed plainly, with a few patches on his coarse cloth.
He was holding a cane in his hand, and it clicked on the ground with every step he took.
He walks very slowly, which makes people wonder: "Will he fall to the ground at any time?"
After the old man came to the city, he found a sunny corner and sat down. He took out a steamed bun from his bag and started to eat it.
After finishing the steamed buns, he took out a gourd and drank heavily. No one knew whether the gourd was filled with water or wine.
"The Flame City has really changed a lot. It has changed so fast after not being here for thirty years." The old man said to himself.
The corner where the old man was leaning was the Yan family's mansion. Although it was more than thirty meters away from the gate of the mansion, the Yan family's servants still saw him.
"What the hell, old man, get out of here, don't lean here, stay somewhere else." The servant hurried over and told him to leave.
"I can't walk anymore, so I just want to rest here for a while. I'll leave after a while." The old man explained quickly.
"Look at your dirty look. Sitting here is affecting the image of our mansion. You'd better get out of here." The servant refused to let him go and continued to chase him away.
"Oh, I'm leaving now." The old man stood up tremblingly, and then walked away slowly with broken steps.
When passing by the gate of the Yan family's mansion, he raised his head and glanced: "Yan's mansion, so grand." Then he shook his head and continued to walk forward.
A few hours later, he came to a mansion again. He raised his head and glanced: "Xu Mansion." He muttered.
He stood at the door and stared at the door, and the servants of Xu Mansion also saw him.
"Old man, are you looking for someone?" the servant asked politely.
"I'm not looking for anyone. I'm tired from walking, hungry and thirsty. Do you have any leftovers in your house? Can you give me a little delay?"
"Old man, you sit at the door and rest for a while. I'll go to the kitchen and get you some." The servant moved a bench and asked the old man to sit by the door.
"There are still many good people!" The old man sat down and babbled.
After a while, the servant came out. He was holding a bowl of steaming rice in his left hand and a plate in his right hand. There were some side dishes in it: "Old man, we won't be long after dinner. You can eat these meals first. There won't be enough to arrange later."
Make some."
"Thank you, that's almost enough." After the old man took it, he sat at the door and started eating.
Xu Baichuan had lunch at the Zhao family's residence and just returned to the door of the house. He was very surprised when he saw an old man eating at the door of the house.
"What's going on?" he asked the servant
"To tell you what, the old man came here and said he couldn't walk anymore. He was thirsty and tired, so I went to the kitchen to get him some food."
"How can you let him sit at the door to eat? I wonder if this will affect our image?" Xu Baichuan's face turned ugly.
"I'm sorry, sir, I won't dare to do it next time." The servant was shaking with fear. The Xu family paid well, and he didn't want to lose this job.
"Old man, my servants are too slow to treat you. It's a little cold outside. You go to the house to eat, and I'll ask them to make something for you again." Xu Baichuan bent down and said pleasantly.
When he heard that Ding was relieved here, he thought that Xu Baichuan's reprimand just now was suspected that he asked the elderly to sit at the door to eat, which would damage the image of Xufu. It turned out that he was not taking care of the elderly.
"It's good to have a full meal. How dare you want to go to your mansion for dinner? Dare, dare not." The old man said in a row.
"Old man, it's okay, just go to the house to eat, I will go in." Xu Baichuan couldn't help but say that he would go to the house and go to the house.
"Notify the kitchen to get a few delicious dishes, and the degree should be fast." Xu Baichuanxun ordered.
After a while, the six dishes were on the table.
"Old man, do you drink?"
"I drink, but I can't afford it."
"It's okay, I invite you to drink, come and get a pot of wine."
Soon the family put a pot of wine on the table, Xu Baichuan picked up the jug to pour a cup of the old man.
The old man took a sip of the wine glass, and kept thinking in his mouth: "Yes, yes, good wine and good wine. Would you like to accompany me with me?" After that, he looked at Xu Baichuan.
"Okay, I will accompany your elderly to have a drink."
Soon the two pots of wine were drank, and the old man still wanted to drink again.
Xu Baichuan didn't expect the old man to drink so, and he was afraid that the old man would drink too much. He hesitated, would he have another pot of wine?
"Is there anything else?" The old man asked with the initiative.
"Old man, there are how much you drink, I am afraid that you can drink too much. If you can drink it, I will give it to you." Xu Baichuan said with a smile.
"It's okay, it's okay to drink two pots."
Watching the old man was drunk at all, Xu Baichuan made another two pots of wine.
"Old man, where do you live?" Xu Baichuan accompanied him to drink and talked to him.
"I don't have a home, wandering wandering and wandering all year round, wherever I go is home." The old man said comfortably.
Listening to the old man said this, Xu Baichuan was a little uncomfortable. A twilight old man actually lived in no place, and no one took care of him.
The old man didn't mean to leave after eating and drinking. He sat on the chair and closed his eyes.
"Old man, do you live in the evening?"
"No, I have to find a corner of the wind blocking at night to lie on the night. It's not too early, I have to leave. Thank you for your wine, good people will have a good news."
go out.
"Old man, you see that the cold outside is cold and cold. You might as well live in my house. How about this?" Xu Baichuan hurriedly said.
"Do you think this can be good?" The old man looked at Xu Baichuan, and asked with a smile on his face.
"Can I make a big house, can I still miss the place where your elderly live? You live here for the time being."
"Then I thank you." The old man said with a smile.
"Hurry up to bed for the elderly, the quilt must be thick, and the bed must be warm. Take a few clothes for the elderly to wash, and let him take a hot bath at night." Xu Baichuan quickly ordered.
Jia Ding led the old man and arranged it under a small courtyard. Everything was done according to Xu Baichuan's arrangement, and no discount was made.
They burned hot water, the old man was very pleasant in the bathtub, and actually hummed Xiaoqu. After taking a bath, he lay down in the quilt and slept comfortably.
Xu Baichuan didn't have much time to accompany the elderly because he was busy. But he had arranged it, and he had to serve the elderly for three meals a day and never treat him slowly.
Every night, he will talk to the old man a few words and ask the warmth. After a few days, the old man and the people of Xufu gradually became familiar, but there was no meaning to go.
Xu Baichuan didn't mean to go to him. The Xu family had a lot of people and had enough houses.
The Xujia Mansion did not guard the god of gods. Except for Xu Baichuan, there was no strong man in the realm of God.
However, there are a few masters of the reeds, but they are not the kind of strong masters.
Xu Baichuan and the Zhao family wore a pair of pants, and the distance between the two dwellings was not too far away. The enemy with the Xu family was the enemy of the Zhao family. Who dares to offend the Xu family?
People like Yin Mountain Gate, they do not take Xu Baichuan in their eyes at all, eliminate a Xu family, but it does not make sense to destroy the Xu family.
Therefore, the Xu family has always been safe, and no one comes to find something.
But tonight is an exception. Late at night, a few people came to the Xu family quietly.
Although they are not strong, they are also strong in the realm of God, and they are four people. They always feel that they are weird. Like normal warriors, they have a look of ruthless.
When they came to the Xu family, Xu Baichuan had felt their arrival.
He walked out of the room and stood in the middle of the yard: "Where is the rats, why do you come to my Xufu in the middle of the night?
As soon as his words were finished, the four people jumped off the roof: "The shopkeeper Xu is very powerful, and our brothers have interviewed it late at night."
For the man who held Xu Baichuan with his punch lightly, he didn't mean to apologize and respect.
"Who is your time, can you report your name?"
"Who we told you that we don't know. Our brothers come to Xu shopkeeper to discuss things. As long as Xu's shopkeeper can promise us, we turn around and leave after getting things."
"Oh. I don't know what do you want?" Actually Xu Baichuan knew what they wanted.
"We are all clear about your relationship with the Zhao family. The Ming people do not say secretly. We want the elixir made by the fairy fruit. We only need four and one each. This should not be difficult for the shopkeeper.
"?"
"Oh, do you actually believe in the hearing? The Zhao family has no elixir made of fairy fruit, even if I have me?" Since the coming is not good, why must you say good words to him?
"Objective Xu, do you like you don't want to give us your brothers?" The face of the face pulled down.
"Just by the third -order of your four gods, you also want to threaten me. Are you tired of being alive?" Xu Baichuan no longer was willing to perfunctory with them.
The third -order master of the four reeds of the gods may not be able to win him, but it will not lose in a short period of time. As long as you have to do it here, the Zhao family can arrive in minutes.
Will show weakness to these garbage.
"Do you think you can eat us in the fifth order of God? Do you think you can come to save you in the Zhao family?
Smile for that person.
"Really, then I want to see how you kill me?" Xu Baichuan was about to release his breath and was ready to take a shot.
Suddenly he was stunned, and he couldn't condense, and his skill was lost.
