"Is there anything to eat, old man, hurry up and get some."
The shopkeeper is a gray-haired old man. The years have left traces on his face, which is full of wrinkles.
Seeing an eleven or twelve-year-old boy walking around alone so late, the old man was somewhat surprised, but he still responded with a kind smile: "There is only half a roast chicken, more than half a plate of beef, and some steamed buns."
"Okay, send them all up."
"Then wait for a while, I'll go and heat it up for you." The restaurant is really too small, and the old man's living conditions are not very good. He is not only the shopkeeper, but also a waiter and a chef.
Not long after, the fragrant roast chicken and more than half a plate of sauced beef were served, and Ye Fan's saliva almost flowed out immediately.For more than a year, he and Pangbo have been vegetarians all day long, and there is almost no meat in Lingxu Cave. The simple food in front of him made his stomach growl.
He quickly took the bowl and chopsticks, bit the snow-white steamed bun, tore off a chicken leg, and started to gobble it up.At this moment, he felt that the most delicious food in the world was nothing more than this, and all delicacies from mountains and seas stood aside, far less comfortable than the few in front of him.
"Don't worry, eat slowly, drink soup, moisten the stomach, don't choke." The old man brought a bowl of hot soup and reminded him kindly.
"Thank you old man, your cooking skills make my appetite scream in admiration." Ye Fan said inarticulately while stuffing food into his mouth.
Seeing that Ye Fan didn't look like a child from a poor family, but at the moment he was devouring it like this, the old man was a little surprised. He rolled up his patched sleeves, picked up a rag, and wiped the tables and chairs that were already clean , smiled and shook his head and said: "You are too hungry, no matter what you eat now, you will feel very sweet."
"Grandpa, why haven't you closed the door..."
At this moment, a five or six-year-old girl came out from the back room. Her clothes were also patched. She was wearing very plain and simple clothes. She wore two shofar braids. She was very cute and had a red face like red apples.
"Go to bed first, it will be closed in a while."
The little girl looked at the food on the table, couldn't take her eyes off her big eyes, swallowed quietly, nodded subconsciously, and agreed, "Oh."
Not long after, Ye Fan had swept away the food on the table, stood up, and said: "Okay, old man, you are ready to close." He took it out of his arms, but felt a little embarrassed, he forgot There was no money at all, and no gold or silver utensils, so I couldn't pay the bill.
"Brother, is it not convenient?" The old man was well-versed in the world, and he saw his embarrassment at a glance.
"This... really didn't bring any money."
"Ah, here comes the bad guy again." The little girl next to her opened her eyes wide, she was about to cry, she stared at Ye Fan and said, "You guys are so bad, you live on your bills all day long, and you know how to bully me and grandpa, we can hardly eat by ourselves It's..."
Speaking of this, she looked at the chicken bones on the table, her big eyes turned red, and she said, "Grandpa said that if no guests come, he will leave me a chicken leg... It turns out that you are free, and you are also here to bully us. "
The five or six-year-old girl curled her mouth, her long eyelashes trembled, and tears rolled down her cheeks. She kept wiping away her tears with her patched sleeve.
Obviously, their living conditions are not very good, and they often encounter bullying on weekdays.
"Little sister, don't cry..." Ye Fan was really embarrassed and ashamed. It seemed that the old and the young were not easy, and life had long been in a predicament.
"It's okay, brother, don't blame yourself. I can see that you are different from those local thugs. You are not a free eater. You must have really forgotten to bring money." The wrinkled old man pulled the little girl aside and said: " Don't cry, grandpa left you a piece of chicken and half a steamed bun, so you won't be hungry."
"Grandpa..." The little girl cried aggrievedly, and said, "I'm not doing it for myself, because Grandpa hasn't had dinner yet, we've been bullied by those bad guys all day long, and we don't have any savings, what should we do if we do this every day?" ah……"
Seeing that the clothes on the old and the young were all patched, and hearing these words, Ye Fan suddenly felt sad, his heart was deeply touched, and his nose was actually a little sore.
Ordinary people's lives are full of bitterness, ups and downs, and the family affection and helplessness of the old and the young moved him for a long time.
"Little sister, don't cry. I'm not a bad person. Although I don't have any money, I have something here that should be worth this meal." Ye Fan took out a small jade bottle, and it was during the trial outside the ruins. In exchange for a bottle of Baicao liquid.
"This is a piece of fine jade. It's too expensive. I can't accept it." The old man shook his head and said, "When everyone is in trouble, if you pass by here again, brother, just make up the money."
Ye Fan sighed for a while, the old man's life is so embarrassing, and he has such a strong character and character, which gave him a little respect, and said: "You accept it, this is nothing to me."
"It's too precious. I really can't take it. When you're away from home and everyone is in trouble, brother, you don't have to blame yourself." The old man's hands were covered with calluses, and he pushed the jade bottle back firmly.
Seeing his refusal, Ye Fan had no choice but to take it back.
"Since you don't want it, then I'll stay and do some hard work for you." At this moment, he had nowhere to go, and found that the old man was very simple and kind, so he decided to stay here for the time being and devote himself to cultivating here, and help the old man by the way.
The five or six-year-old girl looked down at her own toes, her big eyes were red, and she whispered, "We can't even eat ourselves..."
Ye Fan knelt down, touched the little girl's head pityingly, and said, "I won't burden you if I stay."
Chapter 072 The Hope in My Heart
The old man declined several times, and Ye Fan didn't need to stay, saying that he would pass by here in the future and just make up for the meal.
"Old man, I'm homeless now, and I have no place to go, just let me stay, and I will help."
"Big brother, you don't have a home?" The little girl was innocent and cute, the tears on her face were not dry yet, she looked up at him, with a sympathetic look on her immature face.
In the end, the old man asked Ye Fan to stay, packed a room for him in the backyard, and told him that he could leave at any time.
At night, Ye Fan tossed and turned, and finally got up, quietly went to the roof, lay here and looked up at the sky.At this moment, the clouds have dispersed, the bright moon hangs in the sky, sprinkled the moonlight like thin smoke, and the stars in the sky are shining like diamonds.
The family affection between the old man and the little girl inadvertently touched the deepest thing in his heart, and the kind faces of his parents surfaced in his heart from time to time.
"Are you guys OK……"
Ye Fan looked up at the starry sky, as if he wanted to pass through the endless star field, reach the other end of the starry sky, and return to his parents.Whenever he thinks of his parents, his heart is hard to calm down. His sudden and unexpected disappearance must be very sad for his elderly parents.
For parents, losing their only child in their later years would be an unbearable pain. Thinking of their parents being sad, Ye Fan felt distraught, wishing to return to them immediately, so that their hearts could calm down and smile.
But separated from the endless star field, the distance is so far away, how can I go back?Filled with a sense of powerlessness in his heart, he could only stare blankly at the starry sky.
Whenever he thinks of his parents' feelings at this moment, Ye Fan is very worried. Since he came to this world, he has always hidden his thoughts deeply, and dare not touch and recall them lightly. Every time he is touched, he will find it difficult to calm down.
"No, I must find a way to go back. I can't let the parents who gave birth to me and raised me cry in their later years..." Ye Fan sat up all of a sudden, and said to himself: "There must be a way, I must go back."
Seeing those monks flying into the sky and escaping from the ground in the primitive ruins, and seeing the five great figures who are so mighty, made him feel the power of the monks. Maybe one day when he is strong enough, he can cross the endless star universe, return to his hometown, and return to his parents. beside.
Seeing the horror of the monks with his own eyes, Ye Fan felt hopeful in his heart. He felt that the way home had not been completely cut off, and there might still be hope.
"I want to become stronger, I want to rush out of this starry sky, I want to go home, I will not let my parents cry anymore, I want to make their old age full of smiles..." Ye Fan's words became more and more firm, he was thinking for himself Building confidence, said: "I can definitely do it, I must do it, I want to go back to them!"
Sentiment and worry are useless. Ye Fan slowly adjusted his mood and gradually calmed down. Today, he was touched by the affection between the old man and the little girl, and his last bit of confusion and confusion completely disappeared. He found his own love. Goals and directions.
"Jiulong pulls the coffin, travels through the star field, and comes to this space. They can do it, and so can I. I want to become strong enough. Sooner or later, I will be able to cross the void and return to my hometown." Ye Fan's eyes became more and more intense. Brighter, he must become stronger. Whether he wants to save Pangbo or return to his hometown, he needs a strong backing.
Before he knew it, he felt sleepy and fell asleep on the room.It was not until the next morning when the old man's voice came that he opened his eyes.
"My child, why did you get on the room? Be careful and don't fall."
The little girl walked out of the room with sleepy eyes, and saw Ye Fan sitting up from the room, her eyes widened in shock, and said, "Brother, what are you doing?"
Facing the doubts of the old and the young, Ye Fan felt a little embarrassed, and said: "It was too hot last night, I came to the room to enjoy the cool, and accidentally fell asleep."
After Ye Fan washed up, the old man asked him to eat, a small bowl of white rice porridge, and a plate of pickles. It was very simple, because their conditions were really limited.The little girl was very sensible, she had already set the bowls and chopsticks, she filled a bowl of white porridge for Ye Fan, and filled a bowl full for her grandfather, but when it came to her, she only filled a little bit. Originally, she used a small bowl. As a result, it was so little that it was eaten in a few mouthfuls, and then the bowls and chopsticks were put down.
"Why do you eat so little?" the old man asked her.
Although the little girl was wearing patched clothes, she was as pretty as a delicate porcelain doll. She patted her belly and said, "I'm full."
"Nonsense, I only ate a few bites, how can I be full?"
