Chapter 4477 Old Li
Xiao Xiao inexplicably had a premonition that his wish would soon come true...
……
Ok?
Xiao Xiao's ears moved slightly.
he looks like……
What sound did you hear?
……
Xiao Xiao walked over following the sound.
……
Old Li bent down, picked up a piece of firewood on the ground and put it into the bamboo basket behind him.
He straightened up and touched the sweat on his forehead.
He weighed the bamboo basket behind him again.
almost.
Old Li estimated.
He couldn't carry any more.
……
A smile appeared on Old Li's face.
It's time to go home.
……
Ok?
Old Li looked carefully.
That is……
There is a wild flower swaying slightly under a big tree not far away.
What’s special is that it has a butterfly-like shape.
There are also pink and purple colors.
……
it's beautiful.
Old Li grinned.
I picked some and gave them to my granddaughter.
……
Old Li took a few big strides over.
He crouched down.
Pick the flower carefully.
He looked up and around.
He wanted to see if there were any other pretty flowers...
He can give it to the old woman.
……
"!?"
Old Li suddenly looked at the shadow behind the big tree.
Is there anything... ?
Old Li's palms were cold.
That's because the sweat from before was cooled down by the wind.
……
Old Li's heart was beating very fast.
He unconsciously clenched the wild flowers in his hand.
He wanted to go and see what was in the shadows...
Due to some unspeakable reasons, he froze in place and did not move.
……
Old Li's heart beat faster and faster.
He had a suffocating feeling that he couldn't breathe anymore.
……
In a trance, Old Li actually thought he saw the shadow moving...
No.
Something is moving in the shadows...
have what……
Approaching him -
"Hello."
……
"boom!"
Old Li sat down on the ground.
He looked up with a look of panic.
The next second, Old Li was stunned.
What came into view was the face of an unfamiliar young man.
The face of a young man that is neither fierce nor scary.
There was even a faint smile on the young man's face.
……
Xiao Xiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Feel sorry."
"Did I frighten you?"
……
Old Li moved his lips.
He couldn't say the word to deny it.
The fact is, he was frightened.
I was pretty scared.
……
"Feel sorry."
Xiao Xiao extended his hand to the old man.
"I'll help you up."
"Are you injured?"
"Do you need me to call a doctor for you?"
……
"Need not."
When he heard the word "doctor", Old Li shook his head subconsciously.
The words of rejection came out of my mouth.
As the elderly get older, who hasn’t been to the hospital a few times?
But going to the hospital means physical discomfort as well as additional expenses and high costs.
Unless it is necessary, Mr. Li doesn't like or even hates going to the hospital.
……
Finally, he succeeded in making a sound, and Old Li finally recovered a little.
He regained some of his sanity.
He felt his situation.
"...I'm fine."
Even though he fell to the ground, the soft ground did not cause much damage to his butt.
……
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"I'll help you up."
……
Old Li looked at the strange young man.
Did not reject the other party's kindness.
In any case, he was frightened by the other party and fell to the ground.
It was only natural for the other party to pull him up.
……
Old Li's legs felt a little weak.
He leaned back against the tree trunk.
Slowly straighten your legs.
……
As his legs straightened up, Old Li's soul gradually returned to his place.
He smiled bitterly, "Young man, you scared the old man to death."
He didn't care about embarrassing himself in front of the young man.
His performance had been seen by others.
Why are you being so stubborn?
……
"Sorry." Xiao Xiao curled the corners of his mouth.
……
"it's okay no problem."
After recovering from his shock, Old Li was finally able to say these two words.
He waved his hand.
"Young man, what are you doing here?"
Old Li was very surprised.
"It's rare to see strangers coming here..."
……
Xiao Xiao smiled.
“I’m a tourist here.”
……
“Tourists?!”
Old Li felt the same surprise and confusion as Old Mrs. Xu.
“Are you here for tourism?”
“There’s nothing to see here.”
……
Xiao Xiao found it somewhat amusing.
The people in this village are really honest.
The old lady Xu before was.
The same is true for Old Li now.
……
"I just stopped by to take a look."
Xiao Xiao didn't explain much to Old Li.
He bent down and picked something up.
Then he handed it to Old Li.
"Is this yours?"
……
Looking at the familiar flowers in the young man's hand, Old Li subconsciously looked at his own hands.
really.
My hands are empty.
……
Old Li immediately took the flowers from the young man's hand.
Then he realized that his actions seemed a bit rude.
He smiled somewhat awkwardly.
"Thank you, thank you."
"I want to take this flower home as a gift to my granddaughter..."
……
“Very beautiful flowers.”
“Your granddaughter will love this.”
……
Looking at the young man's smiling face, Old Li felt much more relieved.
"……Um."
Old Li grinned.
"I want to find another one to give to my wife..."
……
"How about that one?"
Xiao Xiao motioned Old Li to follow him.
……
"what?"
Old Li subconsciously followed the young man's pace.
They gradually left the big tree they were standing under.
……
“This one.”
Xiao Xiao squatted down.
He looked up at Old Li.
……
"Which one?"
Old Li bent over.
Then he slowly squatted down.
……
This is a small blue flower.
Three petals.
Quite exquisite and lovely.
……
Old Li's eyes lit up.
“This one is beautiful too.”
……
"This is it."
Old Li reached out his hand impatiently.
After touching the flowers, Old Li became cautious again.
He slowly picked the tiny wild flower.
……
Old Li looked at the two beautiful wild flowers in his hand, and the wrinkles on his face relaxed.
Smiling so hard that one’s teeth cannot be seen.
……
"Thank you, young man."
Old Li thanked the young man.
"Young people's eyes are indeed better."
Old Li sighed.
……
After saying goodbye to the young man, Old Li left with a basket full of firewood on his back and two flowers carefully in his hands.
……
Xiao Xiao withdrew his gaze from watching the old man.
He looked into the shadow behind the tree.
He took a step forward.
……
The sudden appearance of the young man also scared Tu Luo a little.
It looked at the young man with some suspicion.
It was too focused on its prey...
So you didn't notice this young man approaching?
……
Tulou doesn't know.
To be on the safe side, Tu Luo stepped back.
Let the shadow wrap it more completely.
……
It didn't leave either.
It watches the prey interact with the young.
His eyes were gloomy.
……
The prey left.
Its eyes flickered.
For a moment it wanted to follow.
But the sudden appearance of this young man made it inexplicably fearful.
Subconsciously, it dared not act rashly.
It is both annoying...
