Concave and Convex World: The Wind of Freedom

The old uncle raised his head and recalled the hurried past. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to wipe his face, "When there was famine in the past, I was lucky to have a bowl of salty soup... I didn't expect your craftsmanship to be so good. , Haha, today’s young people are so awesome.”

"Old man, you are so flattering. A person with a good temper like you must have had many suitors when he was young, right?" Do you want some soup?"

The old uncle laughed and said, "Oh, the old man has a beard. How can he talk about these things? He and my grandson have always been dependent on each other."

"The day he disappeared... happened to be his eighteenth birthday."

Shen Yun asked, "Where are your children?"

"They...hey." The old uncle said, his tone darkening, "They encountered a disaster, and they didn't even care. Such a good person died when he said he would die."

The old uncle took two more bites of the chicken.

The roasted chicken is soft, tender and elastic, and the slightly charred skin is more like an embellishment, making the food more attractive. It doesn't have the delicacies of mountains and seas, but it still has a unique flavor.

The old man's teeth were indeed almost gone, but the chicken melted in his mouth and did not affect the old man's eating at all.

"My grandson also liked to eat chickens when he was a child. When he saw chickens running or jumping outside, he would catch them, and then he would go back and forth with the chickens... Hahaha, what is like that...? Ah, an eagle Catching chicks..."

The old uncle seemed to be lost in memories again, his words were full of sweetness and sorrow, and he gradually stopped speaking.

"Did I say too much again? Oops, I'm old and can't remember what to say..."

Zander poured a glass of water for several people, "Grandpa, don't worry. When we get better, we will find your grandson for you and bring the fat young man back to you intact."

"He's lame..."

"Bring your lame grandson back to you."

"Hey...Grandpa, thank you for your kindness." The old man said as he stood up and bowed.

Shen Yun pulled him, not caring that the old man's unwashed clothes were dirty and messy for many days, and helped him sit up.

The two looked at each other, Chen Yun looked silent, while Zander had a playful smile, with a haze in his eyes, looking quite indifferent.

He finally waved his hand and said he was going to take a walk nearby when he was full, but he didn't know where he went.

……

On the fifth day, there was nothing unusual.

Shen Yun's menstruation was almost gone. She packed her things and said, "Let's go."

"This old man is really good-tempered. He has been eating and drinking for free for so long and yet he doesn't chase anyone away." Xander clicked his tongue, feeling quite nostalgic.

"After all, we promised to help him find his grandson. During this period, we also revealed our strength. There are ordinary villagers around here, so he naturally values ​​us."

They talked so much, but both of them felt more or less that this old man was a kind man.

The two of them wore large coats and hats, wrapped themselves tightly, and came to the village below.

The village is small, but it has a certain appearance. It seems to be in the middle of a festival, with lights and colorful lights everywhere, and the atmosphere is peaceful and joyful.

As Shen Yun walked over, he was bumped into by a child who was running and jumping around.

The villagers on the side quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my brother didn't hit you, did he?"

"It's okay." Shen Yun shook his head.

Zander suddenly licked his smile and took a step forward, "Hey, this young lady is as beautiful as a flower. She is really beautiful. I wonder if I can give you a compliment and chat with me for a while and talk about something?"

The female villager looked at him warily, took the child and left quickly.

Shen Yun glared at him, "If you don't smile so playfully, you don't look like a good person."

"Listen to what you said, how can you ask people with such a stinky face?" Xander said dissatisfied.

"...Hmph, it's better than you."

The two of them followed the crowd and asked around. They picked people who opened shops or stood in front of the door chatting enthusiastically. At a glance, they knew they were people who had lived here for a long time.

But after asking several people in succession, the two gradually realized something was wrong.

Because these people all said they had never heard of it.

The middle-aged man scratched his head, "Huh? You mean the old man on the hillside over there? But hasn't it been deserted for a long time? Where did the old man come from?"

"???" Xander was confused, but he didn't believe in evil and continued, "Uncle, there really is an old man. He is blind. He doesn't usually come out, and he lives in a very remote place.

"Think about it again, have you ever met him when you go out? Or maybe someone you know knows him?"

"Then I don't know." The man shook his head. "I only know that the surrounding countryside is remote. Even if there are families living in other places, they will never be able to provide water and electricity, and food and drink will be a problem."

"We are the only place that is connected to the outside world. Every year, young men and women come back and go out to continue working after the New Year."

Zander felt a little bit in trouble, "Okay, it doesn't matter if you don't know him. Then have you seen his grandson? His grandson is just eighteen this year. He is a young man. If you have seen him, you must recognize him."

"Aren't there a lot of eighteen-year-old boys?"

"He is different. He is a lame man with a short haircut. Uh... he usually wears this, a white shirt."

The villager thought for a while and said, "I have no impression of that. Among the young people I have met, there is only one lame man, but he doesn't like to take care of his hair. He has very long hair. I wonder if he is the one you are talking about?"

Fortunately, we finally got some news. Xander nodded, "Okay, where is he? Please show us."

"It's right there. You can go on your own, but his family has a bad temper. Be careful of being kicked out."

Shen Yun didn't say much from beginning to end, just silently remembering the information he got.

After hearing this, the two rushed to the young man's residence and knocked on the door. They heard a woman yelling with a loud voice.

"Who! Knocking on the door in broad daylight! We don't visit relatives or give gifts!"

Xander raised his voice and greeted, "Hello——"

"What a good thing! I'm getting unlucky every day! Get out!"

Zander:…

Shen Yun complained, "It really stinks."

"Is this old woman going through menopause? I've never seen anyone as unreasonable as her. Hey, pity us for making a special trip."

"We won't go in if she doesn't let us in?" Shen Yun said suddenly.

Xander glanced at her.

"It seems that the heroes have the same idea."

Shen Yun didn't say anything, and he and Xander circled the perimeter in tacit agreement, jumped to a safe place and climbed over the wall.

"Will there be a fine for breaking into a house?" she asked.

"Probably not?" Zander replied uncertainly.

Silently they approached the family's bedroom.
