The crowd is crowded, the streets are not spacious, and walking through crowded places will inevitably be a burst of pushing and shoving. The old man with the fastest update of the apex novel walked in front but looked leisurely, he could always find the place where the crowd ridiculed him, and walked past lightly.
Gently slowing down his pace, Gu Nan followed behind the old man unhurriedly, while gradually adjusting his pace to keep pace with the old man. His eyes fell on the old man's waist and he looked again.
The rope that bound the purse was tied with a slipknot, which could be undone with a slight tug. This binding method is convenient for withdrawing money, but it is also convenient for stealing. If there is a tight knot, Gu Nan will walk away without saying a word. She didn't have a knife in her hand to cut the rope quickly, and she didn't have the ability to untie a dead knot without others noticing.
The purse looked heavy, and it swayed with the old man's steps.
All that is left is to wait for an opportunity, Gu Nan pursed her lips and looked forward. There seemed to be a pancake stall with a good business in front, and there were about seven or eight people waiting there, ready to buy one and try it. This place should be regarded as a busy market in the bazaar, with many people passing by on the side road.
"Ahem." The old man glanced at the pancake stand by the roadside. If he used to come back, he might come back and order a few, but now that this person is old, his teeth are not as good as before, so it's better to avoid it. It was rare for him to come out for a walk, so he decided to find an old place to drink tea.
"Papa." Suddenly felt someone pat on the right shoulder, and unconsciously turned his head to look over, but there was no one there.
"Huh." There was an inaudible wind sound from behind, and it was almost impossible to hear it amidst the noise of the crowd.
The old man immediately understood what was going on, raised his brows, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.
Okay, you dare to steal something from me!
Hey, I got it. Gu Nan's hand sprang out quietly like a spirit snake, swiftly and silently, it circled the old man's waist strangely, and pulled the rope of the purse silently.
There was a slight friction between the knots, and the purse had already fallen, and it was firmly caught by one hand, but there was no movement at all.
Come on, let's retire. The corners of Gu Nan's mouth curled up. Just as he was about to withdraw, an old hand firmly grasped his wrist.
A somewhat hoarse voice said calmly: "Little brother, it's not the way of a gentleman to take what you don't ask."
The old man spoke in a muffled voice, turned his head, and a pair of sharp eyes that didn't look like an old man swept across Gu Nan's cheeks.
"Gudu." Just looking at each other for half a second, Gu Nan felt like falling into an ice cave. In the scorching summer, this terrifying feeling made a drop of cold sweat drip from her forehead.
When the old man saw Gu Nan's face, there was a flash of surprise in his eyes, then his eyes fell on her slightly raised chest, and he nodded clearly: "Oh, I was wrong, it turned out to be a little girl."
God, who said that the old man is unresponsive, come out, I will not beat him to death.
With a slight movement of his eyes, Gu Nan's eyes had already drifted to a remote street.
slip.
As soon as he gritted his teeth, the grasped hand suddenly tried to pull it back, but the opponent's hand was tightly clasped like an iron hoop without any loosening.
The old man stood still at the same spot, but Gu Nan was pulling his hand with a red face, but it was useless.
Ok? The old man frowned, and slowly exerted force with his hand, and he had already used 80% of his strength.
He knows his own strength. Although he is old, the strength at hand is at least six hundred catties (300kg) even without internal strength.
Ordinary two or three men can't move themselves at all.
And the young girl in front of him actually used 80% of her strength, which is at least four to five hundred catties.
This girl is quite strong. The old man thought to himself, but he still didn't let go, letting Gu Nan gossip.
Damn it, what is the origin of this old man, or is it that people in this place are so perverted. Gu Nan had the urge to cry, she just stole money to feed herself, why did this happen to her.
After dragging on for a long time, Gu Nan finally gave up his useless work, took a breath, and showed a dry smile to the old man: "Old man, life is not easy, otherwise, how about letting me go? We meet each other in the mountains and rivers, today's grace, There will be good rewards in the future."
The girl's speech was interesting, the old man smiled, stretched out his hand, and took the purse from Gu Nan's hand.
He glanced at her up and down, dressed in rags, and there were a few dirty mud marks on his supposedly handsome and heroic face, presumably another poor person in trouble at home: "Girl, where are you from?"
The old man asked indifferently in Gu Nan's unclear eyes.
"Me." Gu Nan hesitated, what did she say, she didn't know what the hell it was, she couldn't even name a place, okay, so could it be that she came from a global village
After coughing, Gu Nan's eyes hid guiltily, and the dead duck said stiffly, "I don't remember."
"Don't remember?" The old man was stunned for a moment: "Where's the family?"
With nowhere to hide, Gu Nan simply lowered his head, not looking into the old man's eyes, kicked the stones on the ground with his toes, and muttered: "No."
She herself has nothing to care about, after all, it has not been a year or two since she has no family, and she has long been used to it.
No father or mother, have you even forgotten where your home is
Looking at the girl with her head bowed in front of her, the old man looked a little helpless, and the iron hoop seemed to loosen a little, yes, this is such a troubled world after all.
"If you don't want to go to the government, just follow me." The old man let go of his hand, turned around and walked away with his back on his back.
No way, this old man doesn't have any special ideas.
Gu Nan lowered his head and looked at his body. Although he was reluctant to admit it, he was indeed quite pretty. Thinking of this, Gu Nan suddenly thought of running away again.
"Don't try to run away, it's very easy for the old man to catch you." The old man glanced back and said calmly, with a kind of confidence in his tone.
On the next day, Gu Nan followed with a dark face.
Just follow, I'm afraid you won't succeed.
A small teahouse on the side of the road, it is said to be a teahouse, but in fact it is just a small tea stand built with bamboo sheds and hay.
Tea is not a well-known tea, but to be honest, it is just a bowl of cold water.
There are a few low tables inside, the wooden tables are a little rough polished, and there is a dilapidated couch beside it, but there is barely a place to sit.
There are quite a lot of people in the teahouse. In the sweltering weather, after walking on the street for a long time, if you want to take a rest, this kind of roadside teahouse is always a good choice.
People were drinking tea and chatting, occasionally chatting a few high-spirited words, but the chat in this small teahouse was very lively.
An old man and a young man were sitting in the corner of the teahouse. From the looks of it, it was a decent old man with a down-and-out young man. The old man asked for a pot of tea and just drank it, looking at the street. The "young man" opposite him was grabbing the rice bowl in front of him, swallowing gulply, and the sound of her gobbling could be heard from far away.
