Chuntao snorted loudly: "If it wasn't for Haihan, my elder sister Xue'er would have killed the three of you with one punch. You are just bastards who eat soft things and are afraid of hard things! Even if you beat such a poor old man, you are really nothing."
Feeling puzzled, Chuntao said to Rong Chang'an, "Sister Xue'er, give him a slap and teach him a lesson in the future."
Rong Changan: "One more thing is worse than one less thing. Now that he is scared like this, it is already the biggest punishment and warning for them. He will kill himself if he does many injustices. If he still does such overbearing things, someone will clean up Him. Let's go!"
Chuntao supported the old man: "Old man, where do you want to go now?"
The old man lowered his head and clasped his hands to thank Rong Changan and Chuntao: "Thank you two heroines for saving me. There is no stable place for me to wander on the streets! I can go wherever there is food. Like duckweed, I can die wherever I die." Where is it buried?" The old man's voice was so hoarse that if he didn't listen carefully, he still couldn't make out what he was saying.
After hearing the old man's words, both Rong Chang'an were very sad.
Chuntao: "Sister Xue'er, he is so pitiful! It's fate to meet him, why don't we take him with us?"
Rong Chang'an felt that Chuntao was very ignorant, if every homeless person had to be taken in, when they reached the capital of Tianchi country, there would be so many people that Tianchi country would not be able to accommodate them.
"This..." Rong Changan felt a little embarrassed, after all, the other party was indeed very old, if, as he said, he would be buried where he died, wouldn't it be desolate
The old man said unhurriedly: "Thank you two heroines for your kindness. I can't drag you down. Anyway, I'm used to begging. If I followed you, I would feel uncomfortable. In fact, there are still many good people and few bad people in the world. Please feel sorry for me and give alms There are plenty of people who will give me food and clothing.”
As he said that, the old man untied the package on his back, opened it, and took out a piece of soft hedgehog armor inside: "Look, what is this?"
Rong Changan and Chuntao replied in unison: "Soft hedgehog armor!"
The old man said: "I don't know what's the use of this. I passed by a Yuanwai's house, and he gave me this dress in addition to food. I said that this dress is short and small, and it doesn't block the wind or wind at all." Rain, and it can't keep out the cold, what should I use it for!"
Chuntao chuckled: "You are so cute, old man. This is soft hedgehog armor, which is used to prevent piercing by swords. How can it be used to keep out the cold!"
The old man nodded to Chuntao again and again: "Yes! Yes, you are right! I didn't want it at the time, but the member told me that the world is in chaos and wars are often fought. If you don't wear this dress inside, you are easy to be shot. Shoot him to death. He said he had a lot of these clothes in his house, so he would give me one. I couldn’t refuse, so I had to accept it.”
Rong Changan picked up the soft hedgehog armor and looked at it, not only applauded repeatedly. The soft hedgehogs on the soft hedgehog armor are all made of gold thread, and each piece of soft hedgehog is closely arranged with almost no gaps. If the workmanship is rough, the gap between the soft hedgehogs is very wide, it is easy to be penetrated by arrows, and the protection is not good. Like the old man's hand, the workmanship is fine and the material is expensive, it is really rare, and Rong Changan has only seen it in the palace.
Rong Chang felt suspicious: that Yuanwai and the old man just met for the first time, why did he throw such a valuable gift to the old man? The old man doesn't know the goods, just like a three-year-old child walking around with pearl treasures. If that Yuanwai is not rich, he is out of his mind.
"Old man, what's the name of that member, and where does he live?"
The old man waved his hands: "He is just an ordinary member of Yu Liguo, and I don't know his name."
Rong Chang'an was even more puzzled, such a rich man who cares about money and good faith should be well-known in such a small country, why did this old man not only call him by his name? Rong Changan really couldn't figure it out. Could it be that the old man is old and his brain is not working well, so he can't remember the name of that member
When I meet the king of Yu Li country, I should ask him and I should know.
Chuntao said: "Old man, this is the good intentions of that member. What are you doing with it? Take it back!"
The old man waved his hand again: "I can't keep out the wind, and I can't keep out the cold. It's heavy to carry. You saved me just now, so I should thank you and give this clothes to you."
The old man took one piece of "clothes" and one piece of "clothes". If Rong Changan hadn't been well-bred, he would have burst out laughing. Putting the soft hedgehog on the old man's body, it is true that the pearl has been thrown secretly, but Rong Chang'an has the nerve to accept this precious gift.
"Chuntao is right, this is the wish of the staff, how can we accept it. Old man, you should keep it for yourself!"
"No, no!" The old man insisted on giving the soft armor to Rong Changan, "Think about it, if I die, wouldn't this dress be buried with me in the snow in the wilderness? Take it, It can be regarded as helping me retain the good intentions of other members. Needless to say so much, if you don't take it, I will be angry!"
Chuntao shook Chang'an's arm: "The old man is so earnest, Sister Xue'er, let's stay. Then, we will give him some money, which can be considered as repayment for this soft armor."
Rong Changan felt that what Chuntao said made sense, so he had no choice but to take the soft hedgehog from the old man's hand. Because the clothes were too short, the old man's white wrists were exposed. The old man was so flustered that he hurriedly tore off his sleeves to cover his wrists.
Rong Changan suddenly felt a little dazed.
"Sister Xue'er, sister Xue'er?" Chuntao called from the side.
Rong Changan came back to his senses and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chuntao: "We can't take other people's soft armor and don't pay for it!"
Rong Changan patted his forehead: "Look at me! - Chuntao, how much money do you have?"
Chuntao unwrapped her package and counted it: "There are about five taels of silver left."
But that soft hedgehog armor cost at least a hundred taels of silver.
Rong Changan: "How about this, old man, I'll give you five taels of silver. You go with me to the post house, and I'll give you the remaining ninety taels of silver. You are a soft-shelled baby, worth a hundred taels of silver! "
But the old man only took the five liang of silver from Chuntao's hand, put it in his bag and left.
Rong Changan shouted: "Old man, the posthouse is not over there!"
The old man didn't turn his head back: "Five taels of silver is enough, I'm an old man, and I can't carry a hundred taels of silver!"
He strode forward, turned his head around the city, and disappeared.
Chuntao laughed and said, "This old man is really cute. You can see that he walks very vigorously. He looks like a young man in his twenties."
Rong Changan turned around to leave, but suddenly stood still, frowning and thinking for a while.
Chuntao felt that "Xue'er" was strange, so she asked, "Sister Xue'er, what's wrong with you?"
Rong Changan looked at Chuntao: "What did you say just now?"
Chuntao was confused: "What did I just say?"
Rong Changan: "That's the last sentence! What does he look like?"
Chuntao put her finger on her forehead and thought for a while: "You see him walking, doesn't he look like a young man in his early twenties?"
"Yes, that's the sentence!" Rong Changan clapped his hands together, "Let's chase after him quickly."
"Who are you going after?"
"That old man!"
