Chapter 72

Walking along Nanluogu Alley with one foot deep and one foot shallow, Cao Qing not only had to pay attention to his feet all the time, but also had to be careful to avoid pots, pots, bricks, tiles and other large items.

God knows how these ghost things were put in the alley, can't they be collected in the house?
Complaining constantly in his heart, Cao Qing finally couldn't help complaining when he saw the road blocked by a huge pickle jar again.

Hearing the complaints in Cao Qing's mouth, in front of the dilapidated old courtyard not far in front of him, a silver-haired old man who was gently sweeping the snow on the ground suddenly said:

"Young man, why did you come to our alley for no reason?"

"Let me tell you, our alley has always been very narrow, and there are a lot of things piled up here. Except for those of us who live here all the year round, the rest of the people usually take a detour when they come here. I think I'm afraid you've gone the wrong way."

Cao Qing was thinking about how to get around the huge pickle jar when he suddenly heard the silver-haired old man who was clearing the snow not far away speaking to him. He couldn't help but look up and take a closer look.

"Hey, old man, how old are you this year? Your body is really good."

"It's such a cold day, ten or twenty degrees below zero. Even a guy in his twenties like me has to be wrapped up like a big furball in this cold weather. You always just like this Wearing a little jacket."

"Hey, your body is really awesome! I haven't seen anyone who is less afraid of the cold than you in the past twenty years. Today, I have learned a lot."

Looking up, Cao Qing could only see the old man who was talking to him not far away. Although his hair was silver-gray, he could tell he was in grade.

But in such a cold day, he was only wearing a dark blue jacket that was not very thick, his face was ruddy, and his posture was leisurely, showing no signs of worrying about being exposed to the cold at all.

This old man's unrestrained appearance made Cao Qing, who was wrapped up like a big hairball when he went out today, feel a little envious.

One couldn't hold back, Cao Qing stepped forward to greet the uncle with a very familiar tone, and said enthusiastically with a smile on his face.

"No, my old man has practiced Qigong for 30 to [-] years. Although, in terms of actual combat ability, I should not have practiced anything, but in terms of health and fitness, within a radius of ten miles near Nanluoguxiang, I'm afraid I can't do it. No old man or old lady can compare to me."

"Young man, you look like you are not in good health. I see there is a black mark on your forehead, and there are many black lines under your eyelids. I am afraid you have indulged too much in the past few months."

Hearing Cao Qing's flattering words, the silver-haired old man's face brightened in an instant. He leaned against the wall and put down the broom in his hand, and stroked his chin beard with his hands proudly.

Hearing these words from the silver-haired old man in front of him, the corners of Cao Qing's mouth twitched, as if ten thousand grass-mud horses were galloping past him at extreme speed. At this moment, the old man in front of him no longer had any image of a health-preserving expert in his eyes.

If it wasn't because of his old age, Cao Qing would have walked up to him and spit on him.

"Why should I talk to this old man? This guy looks like an old flicker, with a smooth tongue, and he doesn't look like a good person."

"It's a pity that I thought for a moment that this old man looked quite immortal, and he should be able to play a superhuman being in some martial arts TV series. Now it seems that I really have a brain twitch."

Thinking about it, Cao Qing couldn't help giving himself a slap on the cheek with his hand.

"Oh boy, why do you slap yourself in the face, you are young, you should have more firepower."

"With regard to things like excessive indulgence, even the old man myself, I have had a little bit of it when I was young, just for such a trivial matter, so as not to slap myself in the face, not at all."

Seeing Cao Qing slapping himself in the face, the silver-haired old man not far away from Cao Qing was full of surprise. He stepped forward and looked at Cao Qing's face and said.

"Come on, it's my fault that I let the old man worry about you. I said you should rest when you are so old. I have my own solution to the problem of excessive indulgence. As for the black mark or not Needless to say."

"Boy, I'm born stubborn. I'm a lonely person in this world. I have no ties or worries. I can't do anything to anyone who is black or not."

Listening to the words from the silver-haired old man not far away, who didn't know whether it was intentional or if he didn't see it, Cao Qing suppressed his displeasure, waved his hands to shake the snow on his padded jacket, and after casually perfunctory the silver-haired old man, , I planned to turn around and walk away.

But what he didn't expect was that just as he turned to leave, he heard the sound of rustling footsteps stepping on the snow behind him, and then a burst of hurried words came into his ears.

"Hey, young man, what I said just now was made by the old man to tease you, but it is not completely false."

"Old man, I have been practicing medicine for decades. What I have learned in traditional Chinese medicine is sight, smell, questioning, and incision. I just saw you for the first time, young man, and I saw dark circles looming under your eyelids, and the flesh color around your eyelids was also slightly darker. Qingbai, you can tell at a glance that it is caused by excessive indulgence, so I just teased you a little."

"I didn't expect the young man to be so energetic that he thought I was lying to you, old man."

"Everything I said is true. Although you are now strong and powerful, it is only because you are young, have strong energy and blood, and have a strong heart, which suppresses the fatigue of your body. But if you continue to live in this uncontrolled and indulgent attitude, you will definitely become weak in both yin and yang within a few years."

Cao Qing frowned and listened to the silver-haired old man's words in his ears, and turned around with some doubts and looked back.

Seeing this, Cao Qing's heart tightened, and he watched in a daze as the silver-haired old man trotted towards his position not far away.

"Hey, slow down, old man, don't fall when you are so old."

"It's not that I don't believe you, kid. I just remembered that I was temporarily in trouble. Now I stand and listen to you slowly. Don't worry, the road is very slippery in this heavy snow."

Although he still had doubts in his heart, Cao Qing not only stopped his pace out of a kind of impatience, but also carefully supported the arm of the silver-haired old man who had just rushed to the position behind him, and said cautiously.
