Chapter 801: old and young
Li Mushen looked at this little girl. The little girl's clothes were thin and tattered, and there were many patches on it. She was bare with her little feet, her mouth was slightly open, and the sea breeze roared and poured into her mouth. Panic in his eyes, he quickly closed his mouth.
It seems that this little girl is a bit cute.
And Li Mushen observed the little girl. She should have lived in this emptiness all year round. After all, the people who live by the sea have experienced the sea breeze for many years, so their skin will naturally not be like the skin of the inland people. Generally white, more of a healthy wheat color.
Look at this little girl. A smile appeared on Li Mushen's face, and then he went to the little girl.
The little girl looked at Li Mushen suspiciously, but when Li Mushen came to her, she didn't make any movement and still stood there.
Li Mushen also came to her, squatted down slowly, the faint smile on the little girl's face, it seemed that the little girl knew that Li Mushen was not a bad person.
Li Mushen said to the little girl, "Little sister, what are you doing here?"
The little girl blinked her eyes cutely, she looked at Li Mushen, her big eyes were even more pure and flawless, and there was no contamination of any impurities in them. It was a different feeling to be watched by Li Mushen.
"Glittering like a star."
Li Mushen looked at the little girl's eyes and muttered to himself in a low voice.
The little girl just stared straight at Li Mushen, and after a long while, the little girl stretched out her hands, and it seemed that something was handed over to him from her hands.
Li Mushen glanced at it, but he didn't expect that there was a grilled fish in the hands of this little girl, and most of the residents living near this sea of nothingness were mainly fish.
"Did you give this to me?" Li Mushen asked curiously.
The little girl nodded lightly, she shoved the fish into Li Mushen's hand, suddenly showed a pure smile, then spread her feet and ran away.
On the beach next to the sea, she left a row of clear little feet, which looked even more lovely.
However, the little girl hadn't run far before she stopped suddenly, turned her head, and looked at Li Mushen.
She seemed to think for a moment, then turned back.
When he came to Li Mushen, he pulled Li Mushen's sleeve and walked towards the seaside.
Li Mushen knew that this little girl didn't have any malice towards him, so he didn't have any resistance and let the little girl pull him.
I just don't know where this little girl is going to take him.
The little girl didn't speak either. She walked with Li Mushen on the beach all the way, and soon they came to a simple house by the sea.
When she came to the door, the little girl looked into the house.
"Do you want to go in?" Looking at the little girl, Li Mushen said.
The little girl nodded lightly, wanting Li Mushen to enter the house.
Li Mushen just chuckled, thinking that this little girl might have seen him and wanted to pull him into the house as a guest.
"Then I'll go in."
As he said that, before he could take a few steps, an old man suddenly walked out of the house.
The old man is not too young.
He was hunched over, with a face of vicissitudes of life.
There are many traces of years left on his face. He hunched his body and took a step, looking a little trembling. Obviously there is some injury on his leg, right?
The old man came out of the house, and when he saw the little girl and Li Mushen, his expression was stunned, and he didn't seem to have thought of it.
Li Mushen looked at the old man, and he was the first to ask: "Old man, I wonder if this little girl is your family member?"
The old man nodded graciously, and he waved at the little girl with one hand on his crutches: "Come here, little fish."
Xiaoyu shook her head, she took Li Mushen's arm and seemed to want to pull him into the house.
With a kind smile on the old man's face, he looked at Li Mushen and said slowly, "Xiaoyu wants you to enter my house as a guest. If you don't dislike it, come in and sit."
This little girl is kind and cute. It turned out that the purpose of pulling her here was like this. How could her kindhearted Li Mushen refuse? He said, "Old man, that would be troublesome."
Under the leadership of Xiaoyu, Li Mushen entered the house, his eyes swept around the house, and when he saw the surrounding of the house, he couldn't help but feel his heart.
In Xiaoyu's house, it is really a family, except for a bed, a wooden table, and a few tattered quilts.
In the city of nothingness, Li Mushen had also seen those rich and noble families, but he did not expect the two grandfathers and grandchildren here to be so sad.
After bringing Li Mushen into the house, Xiaoyu was busy beside him, and then cooked and cooked for Li Mushen to eat him, and set up a charcoal fire, because at first Li Mushen used his spiritual sense in the beating of the stormy waves, Li Mushen's body has also been wet by the sea water, soaking all his clothes, so Xiaoyu may be the reason for bringing Li Mushen into the room where she is.
She lit the charcoal fire, pulled Li Mushen close to the charcoal fire, and dried the wet clothes for him, perhaps because she was worried that Li Mushen would make herself sick because of the wet clothes on her body.
The charcoal fire ignited in the house, and here, very close to the sea, when the charcoal fire burns, it turns into a raging flame and rises into the sky. The flames were soaring, the dust billowed, and the old man beside him couldn't help coughing a few times.
In this room, there were no bench seats, and Li Mushen didn't pay any attention to it. He sat directly on the ground with the little fish and the old man.
"Little brother, are you a martial artist?" The old man asked, putting Xiaoyu on his lap.
Hearing the old man's words, Li Mushen was a little surprised. He has now completely restrained his breath, and even Wu Zun can't detect any of its breath. He didn't expect the old man to realize that he was actually a martial artist. This made Li Mushen a little surprised.
"How did the old man say that?"
Seeing the old man showing a kind smile, he said: "Little brother, you are standing on the edge of the sea, the sea is turbulent, and the waves that roll up, even ordinary people can't stand it, and they will definitely fall to pieces. How can you withstand the waves of the sea beating on your body, but I can see that you are motionless, if ordinary people can bear it, I am afraid that they have already died in it."
Hearing the old man's explanation, Li Mushen also suddenly realized that it was so, this is why the old man guessed that he was a martial artist, maybe it was because of this reason.
The old man next to him smiled kindly again, and he continued: "Xiaoyu has been watching you, she was worried that you were hit by the spray and seriously injured. Fortunately, I stopped you."
He patted Xiaoyu's head and said, "If it wasn't like this, how dare I let you into our house."
Li Mushen touched the tip of his nose, but a smile appeared on his face.
"I didn't realize that at the time."
While Li Mushen was talking to the old man, Xiaoyu sat on the old man's lap and kept observing Li Mushen. She handed her grilled fish to Li Mushen, and she saw Li Mushen move the grilled fish in his hand. He didn't move, he just stretched out his fingers freely.
Li Mushen naturally understood what Xiaoyu meant and nodded: "Little girl, I'll eat it."
As he spoke, he opened his mouth and bit a piece of fish meat. Although this piece of grilled fish was cold, it was still tender and delicious, making him full of praise: "This fish in the sea of nothingness is really delicious."
Xiaoyu saw Li Mushen eating large pieces of fish beside her, and a smile appeared on her face.
Next, Li Mushen was eating grilled fish. The grandfather and grandson both looked at Li Mushen like this. It didn't take long for the wet clothes on Li Mushen to dry. Li Mushen got up and stopped talking. He thought about it. After thinking, he said, "Old man, I haven't seen Xiaoyu speak for so long. Could it be that she... can't speak?"
The old man sighed, looking at the little fish in pitiful eyes, he patted the little fish's head and sighed: "It's not the case, it's just that there were some changes in the family, and since then, she has never stopped. She spoke, and whoever asked her to speak, he never spoke."
"So it is." Li Mushen nodded and sighed. He originally thought that Xiaoyu had some disease that prevented him from speaking, and that he might have a way to heal her, but now it seems that it may be because she has a knot in her own heart that prevents her from speaking to herself.
This can't help either, he can only rely on Xiaoyu himself.
The old man did not want to talk about this matter, and I, Li Mushen, were not asking about it, so as not to arouse the sadness in the heart of the old man.
Not long after, it was getting late, and I saw the old man sitting on the ground. He stood up tremblingly with a cane, and the little fish next to him quickly supported the old man.
"It looks like it's getting late. If my little brother doesn't dislike our shabby place, let's rest here tonight and leave tomorrow morning."
Li Mushen got up and saluted the old man.
Although it is very dilapidated here, Li Mushen doesn't care about these things, he nodded and said, "Old man, then this will disturb you."
The house where the old man and Xiaoyu lived was not big. At night, Xiaoyu and the old man slept on the bed, while Li Mushen slept on the ground, lying on the ground.
In this darkness, he listened to the sound of the wind whistling outside, and the sound of the sea setting off huge waves, but he couldn't sleep for a while.
This also made Li Mushen have to guess how the old man and the little fish in this house, apart from catching fish in this empty sea, how they would support themselves and their lives, life turned out to be so hard.
