Chapter 878 Precipitation
"Who are you?"
The male voice Xiao Xiao heard earlier said very impolitely, "The store is not open today, let's go for a walk."
"Leave quickly."
Xiao Xiao looked over.
He is a man in his early thirties.
He is thin and has a gloomy face.
There was a gloomy look between his brows.
Obviously, there is something bothering him.
"Mutansong!"
The old man next to the man shouted angrily, "How can you talk like that?"
Then, the old man looked at Xiao Xiao, with an apologetic look on his face, "I'm so sorry, sir."
"Our store is closed today."
"Would you please come back tomorrow?"
"Grandpa Mu, I'm Xiao Xiao from Xiao's Teahouse. Do you still remember me?"
Xiao Xiao revealed his identity with a smile.
……
"Xiao Xiao?"
The old man was confused for a moment, but soon his frown relaxed a little, and a look of realization appeared on his face, "It's Xiaoxiao."
"I haven't seen you for a long time, kid."
"The last time I heard about you was when you were admitted to Yanda University."
"Your grandparents, parents and others were so happy at that time."
"We, the neighbors, are very happy for you too."
"You are a promising kid."
"I could tell when I was little that he was different from other kids."
……
When the old man saw the younger generation whom he had never seen before, he immediately opened up and started chattering.
Just as Xiao Xiao was about to interrupt the old man, he heard the man next to the old man yell in a bad tone: "Old man, you keep talking so much that it's annoying."
Then, the man turned and glared at Xiao Xiao, "Didn't you see that we, father and son, have something to talk about?"
"Why are you so ignorant?"
"I've really become stupid from studying so much. I don't even have the ability to read people's expressions!"
"Y-Ouch!"
The man's body tilted and he howled miserably.
It turned out that when Mr. Mu heard the boy talking more and more outrageously, he got so angry that he picked up the wooden sculpture beside him and smashed it hard on the man, "You stinky boy, you unfilial son, how can you talk like that?"
"When did I ever teach you that?"
"You're not going to be satisfied until you make me sick, are you?"
"Yes or no?!"
As the old man spoke, he hit the man with something in his hand.
The man twisted left and right, screaming, "What are you doing, you old man?"
"Stop! Stop!"
"I told you to stop!"
"You don't understand what people are saying, do you?"
The man's eyes were bloodshot. The pain in his body made him, who was already irritable, and especially in a bad mood during this period, he almost lost his mind, and he lost some of his strength in his attack.
He reached out and pushed the old man away with force.
……
The old man attacked in anger, and the man was caught off guard and put in a passive position.
Moreover, if the father beats his son, the son will always have some concerns even if he wants to fight back.
And once these concerns are gone, how can an old man compare with the strength of a young person?
……
The old man was pushed back.
Behind it is an angular counter. If the old man bumps into it, he would probably be seriously injured.
In a flash, Xiao Xiao reached out and grabbed the old man.
"Grandpa Mu, are you okay?"
The old man's lips were trembling, I don't know if he was angry or scared?
Maybe both.
……
It took a while for the old man to recover.
He pointed at the man. Not only his finger, but his entire arm and even his entire body were shaking slightly. "Okay, okay, brat!"
The old man's voice was hoarse and trembling violently, "I'm your father!"
"You actually attacked me!"
"You, you unfilial son!"
……
The man was also startled when he saw the old man almost knocked down the counter.
He originally wanted to push the old man aside, but unexpectedly the old man fell backwards in resistance.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the old man was caught by the young man.
Then he heard the old man scolding him, and he curled his lips in disdain. He was angry, so the words he said were not very pleasant. "Didn't you say I was an unfilial son a long time ago?"
"Are you tired of saying the same thing over and over again?"
"Besides, you were careless just now, and you blame it on me?!"
"Take advantage of your age!"...
"you you-"
The old man's hands were shaking even more as he pointed at the man.
……
"What me!"
The man was impatiently trying to slap the old man's annoying fingers, but just as he was about to do so, his wrist was clamped by a strong force.
He was stunned, and in disbelief, he used all his strength.
But it is like a mud ox entering the sea, unable to stir up any waves.
He panted, his eyes red, and shouted viciously: "Stinky boy, let go quickly, otherwise-"
"Bang~ Bang~"
"Ouch!"
The man stumbled back and fell onto a pile of wooden sculptures behind him.
The wood sculptures fell to the ground, and he lay on the ground gasping in pain.
He guaranteed that his body must be covered with bruises.
"You brat, you're looking for death!"
He gritted his teeth, his hair stood on end with anger, and from time to time he made a hissing sound while speaking.
……
"You made me let go."
Xiao Xiao was innocent, "I just did what you said."
Then, he stopped paying attention to the man and looked at the old man, "Grandpa Mu, there's a fire in your yard."
……
The old man looked at the man with a look of relief and a bit of pity.
"What? Fire?!"
"not good!"
The old man yelled and rushed to the yard behind.
If you were to ask which family in this neighborhood is most afraid of fire, it would definitely be his family.
Gumuxuan is a wood carving shop, so his yard is naturally filled with various woods and scraps.
It would be terrible if it started burning.
……
"follow me."
Xiao Xiao quickly surpassed the old man, and under the guidance of the old man, he walked quickly towards a house in the yard with a clear goal.
The door was half-open, and Xiao Xiao pushed it open and walked in.
A cloud of black smoke came towards us.
……
Xiao Xiao held his breath and waved his hands vigorously.
……
“It’s burning?!”
From behind came the old man's worried and anxious questions.
……
"No."
"Grandpa Mu, don't come in."
"It's choking here."
"It must be the wet wood that's burning."
"Let me see, move the dry wood out of the way."
"Grandpa Mu, go get some water."
In order to prevent the old man from thinking too much while outside, Xiao Xiao assigned a task to him.
"Oh, good."
"I'll be right away."
"Don't worry, I'll watch here."
"Be careful not to fall."
……
Xiao Xiao reminded him, but what he heard was the footsteps of the old man hurriedly leaving.
……
"Frog God."
The sound of turning pages of the Demon Mirror rang in Xiao Xiao's ears.
……
The "swish-" sound suddenly stopped, "quack~"
……
"Frog God, please send some water."
"Quack~"
……
A small dark cloud formed in the sky at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Then, “Hua La La~”
The rain began to fall.
