Chapter 778 Excuses and Searches

But the result was the same as last time, the old man's broom could not push down the umbrella of the young man who did not look very strong, and at this time he had no way to pull the iron gate closer to him even a little bit from the other party's hand.

What did this young man grow up eating?

So strong!
You know, although he is old, he is still very strong.

He had never encountered a young man who could overwhelm him with such strength and yet perform so easily.

The old man was very angry.

Suddenly, a light flashed in his eyes and a smile with a hint of malice appeared on his face.

His hands that were gripping the door handle suddenly let go without warning.

The old man looked up, waiting to see the miserable appearance of the annoying young man.

Maybe the other party will fall on his butt.

There was a gleam of anticipation in his eyes.

Unfortunately, the result was destined to disappoint him.

The old man thought his action was unexpected, but he didn't expect that Xiao Xiao had already seen everything.

The moment the old man withdrew his hand, he also withdrew his hand.

Xiao Xiao stood at the door leisurely.

"Grandpa, can you listen to me for a moment?"

Even though the old man's attitude couldn't really be described as good, his attitude remained lukewarm.

But it’s not really that good.

After all, he is not a man without temper.

Even when being pointed at and scolded like that, he was not calm enough to greet it with a smile.

He did not choose to sneak into the old man's house by himself because he felt that it would not be good to break into someone else's house unless it was absolutely necessary.

He is a good citizen who abides by the law.

Besides, he could obviously go in openly.

Why sneak in?

"My cat may have gotten into your yard."

"That's the kitten you found trying to sneak into your house earlier."

“I did take it back.”

“You should have seen it too.”

"But then you closed the door and I took a few steps outside and realized it was gone."

“I’ve searched all the roads I’ve walked before.”

"No kittens."

"I wonder if it got into your house?"

"so-"

Xiao Xiao looked sincerely at the old man whose expression became increasingly ugly as he spoke, "Can I go in and look for him?"

"Are you sure it got in?"

The old man looked at Xiao Xiao suspiciously, "I didn't hear any movement."

In his impression, cats are creatures that make a lot of noise all day long.

Moreover, he had been a little mentally allergic due to the trouble he had caused by those wild cats during this period.

He would not let go of any sound in the house, for fear that those little beasts would pop out from somewhere again.

If a cat really had run into his house, he didn't think he would have failed to notice.

……

"I am not sure."

Xiao Xiao shook his head, "It's just that I haven't found it anywhere else."

"I just wondered if it might be in your house, Grandpa."

……

Xiao Xiao's honest answer made the old man less wary.

……

"Grandpa, can you let me go in and look for it?"

Xiao Xiao's tone revealed a little worry, "It's just a kitten."

"It rained again before."

“I’m worried about it.”

……

The old man looked stiff and looked at Xiao Xiao for a while.

His skinny facial features looked somewhat scary in the dim sky.

Xiao Xiao was unaware of anything and looked directly at the old man without dodging.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a young person who wasn’t afraid of him.

The old man was the first to look away.

He muttered somewhat unwillingly, "...Why don't you think highly of your own cat?"

"Why would you care about that little beast?"

"You deserve to die."

……

Noticing that the young man in front of him had no intention of giving in, the old man finally said impatiently, "Take that annoying guy away quickly."

"If I find it, I will beat it to death..."

He made room for the door.

……

"Thank you, Grandpa."

Xiao Xiao walked into the old man's yard. ...

The house is as shabby as it looks.

It has a slight smell of decay.

……

"Look for it yourself, kid."

"You don't need to tell me when you leave. Just remember to close the door."

After saying a few words in a stiff voice, the old man turned and walked into a room, closing the door with a bang.

There was no intention of waiting for Xiao Xiao's answer.

……

Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment.

Looking at the yard where he was suddenly the only one left, he raised his eyebrows with amusement.

This is really... unexpected.

He thought that based on the old man's personality, even if he didn't accompany him to look for the cat, he would stay in a room with a wide view and watch his every move at all times.

……

Moreover, letting a stranger rummage through my house...

Is it because I look too righteous?

Or is this old man just too generous?

……

However, after searching in several places, Xiao Xiao suddenly realized something.

No wonder he left so relieved.

It turns out that in this room... there is really nothing worth a thief's attention.

Xiao Xiao picked up a fallen rattan chair.

Apart from some dirty and worn-out furniture, there were some miscellaneous items.

Maybe those junk collectors who are more demanding would look down on these things, right?
……

The house was not big. Except for the room where the old man lived, Xiao Xiao quickly searched everywhere inside and out.

But he frowned slightly.

Nothing was found.

……

Then, Xiao Xiao's gaze fell on the tightly closed door.

The only place left, and the place most likely to make a discovery, is there.

……

"Boom~boom~boom~"

"Boom~boom~boom~"

"Dong~Dong-~"

Xiao Xiao withdrew his hand and took a few steps back.

……

The door was pushed open from the inside with a swish.

If Xiao Xiao had not taken a few steps back before, the door would have hit him right on the ground.

……

A flash of regret flashed across the old man's eyes.

He walked out of the room and slammed the door behind him.

……

The old man glared at the young man in front of him whom he wanted to beat up, and said angrily, "What are you knocking for?"

"Didn't I say that before?"

"If you want to leave, just leave. No need to tell me!"

"Are you deaf? Or do you have no brains?!"

……

The old man was spitting and roaring at the top of his lungs with his neck stiff.

He looked like he was about to go mad.

……

"Excuse me, did I disturb you?"

Xiao Xiao's face was calm and his tone was unruffled.

……

The old man's cursing stopped abruptly.

One face turned red.

"you you-"

It was like punching cotton with all his strength, making him feel so suffocated that he almost vomited blood.

what is this?
what is this!
Is this guy here to cause trouble?

……

The old man gasped loudly, holding on to the door, wishing he could kill the irritating bastard opposite him with his eyes.

……

Xiao Xiao lowered his eyes with a sincere expression.

"Grandpa, I have searched everywhere except this room."
