Don't look at the bleak old man's evening scene, but when he was young, he was a good hunter with a radius of ten miles.Now, even though it is because of his age that he is not very useful, the shrewdness and vigilance in his bones have not retreated in the slightest.

He saw the vines climbing up the wall every night, and the big black dog next to him couldn't raise the spirit of guarding the house at all. Every night when the rustling sound made the dog whimper and pinch its tail, Putting the foot-long mouth into the old man's arms and not daring to raise his head, he knew that no matter whether it was a beast or a demon, the person who came was a role he couldn't serve.Thinking about that thing never entering the courtyard wall, the white old man could only forcefully suppress his anxiety, and silently recited "Don't be surprised if you don't see it, it will defeat you", pretending that you have never noticed anything strange outside the courtyard.

It's a pity that old man Bai is trying to cover up this strange incident, but the family is still getting weirder day by day.

In the small rented courtyard in that room, the doctors hired by Mr. Lin came and went like a stream, his eldest brother's illness still did not improve, but in the white old man's house in this room, all the mice had moved.

Ever since the old white man had an accident when he was young, his personality has become somewhat weird.There is a nest of mice living in his house, probably for decades.The old man doesn't have a cat, and he doesn't ask the dog to attack and bite the mice, but the mouse seems to have a spirit. s things.The two have lived in peace for many years, and sometimes even the white old man himself feels as if he has a nest of gray neighbors.

But this morning when the white old man got up to burn firewood in the kitchen, he saw a creeping gray thread in the crack at the bottom of the wall.Dozens of mice, big and small, lined up, biting their tails and running out hurriedly along a crack in the courtyard wall that hadn't been repaired for many years.

Seeing that the house can't even keep the mice.

The white old man paused, and almost dropped the firewood in his hand.

As if also aware of the old man's arrival, a mouse that was pushed back at the end suddenly turned its head.

The mouse must be more than ten years old, and its smooth gray hair has turned white. The whole mouse is extremely huge, almost comparable to a half-sized cat.It looked back at the white old man, and the two red eyes flashed like light.

It suddenly raised its body, hooked its two bare and hairless front paws, made a bow at the white old man, and then shook its head again, as if shaking its head.After doing these creepy movements, the big rat turned around, slithered to catch up with the rat team, and ran away in a hurry.

Seeing the backs of these little beasts fleeing for their lives, the old man's heart skipped a beat.

It seems that even if the white old man wants to whitewash the peace, he can't whitewash it after all——

The white old man did not ignore the movement on the wall every night. The rustling sound was cautious in the early days, but it became louder these days.

The dog that old man Bai raised since he was a child has been terribly frightened for the past few days. He doesn't even eat or poop, and looks like he is about to die.

Could it be that the blood debt that has been warmed up in the early years is finally coming to ask for his life?The old man Bai couldn't help thinking about it.

He himself is already an old bone, even if his life is taken away, it is not a disadvantage, but the Mr. Lin who lives in his yard...

The white old man sighed.

If his wife can keep him, his grandson will probably be this old now.

When he thought about it, he felt pity in his heart, and now Mr. Lin had to leave even if he didn't want to.

The old man Bai made up his mind and knocked on the door to find Mr. Lin and his brother.We met, because this time it was for Mr. Lin's own sake instead of being afraid of trouble, and the old man's back was much stiffer than before, so he just hesitated for a moment when he said the words to drive people away, and finally said it smoothly.

"Mr. Lin, my yard is not in the village, but it's next to the forest. It's freezing cold today. I'm afraid the beasts in the mountains can't help but run out because they can't find food... The old man's wall is still made of earth. If it's just Ordinary one or two wolves is okay, but if you are unlucky, if you come from a black and blind person, I am afraid that you will be taken away. Besides, the old man sees that you are looking for a doctor every day, and you don’t know the transportation fee. How many times have you been there, or you might as well go into the city and rent a house, even if the price is more expensive, it is much more convenient to find a doctor to treat your brother's illness, and it is also safer than the little old man here."

Since the old man had already decided that Lin Mao was a noble son, he deliberately picked some wild wolves out of the mountains to eat people, and how Xiong Xiazi carried his little wife out of the window and used his claws to dig out people's intestines to eat. The young master with tender skin will definitely be afraid.

After all, the movement on the wall was so loud that old man Bai couldn't believe that Lin Mao hadn't heard it.

He didn't expect Lin Mao to concentrate on listening to his earnest persuasion, but his eyes were as calm as usual.

"It's okay, the forest near Liucheng is shallow, and it is estimated that there will be no big beasts like the black blind man. As for other small animals, I'm afraid they won't be able to enter the gate of your courtyard. Even if the wall of your courtyard is made of earth, I will But I think it is much more reliable than those in the village, other people’s homes can’t set up such institutions on the wall as the old man’s house..."

Lin Mao looked at the old man Bai and said softly.

"Besides, my brother is big and likes open spaces. He is most afraid of crowds. If he lives in the city, no matter how much money he has, where can he find such a bright and airy place for my brother to live in? I also know that you are the old man who is worried about me and said these things, but I have already thought about it clearly, so I won't bother the old man to worry about it."

Lin Mao's words made old man Bai speechless. After all, he had received ten-year money at the beginning, and now it's only half past. If Lin Mao really didn't want to leave, old man Bai couldn't help it.

It's just that the old man became more and more anxious when he thought of the monster that wandered outside the courtyard wall every night and night these days, and looked at Lin Mao's somewhat heartless and undisciplined appearance.

He wiped his face, gritted his teeth, stared at Lin Mao and wanted to tell the matter outside the wall directly so that Lin Mao could leave earlier, but Lin Mao opened his mouth first.

"But there are strange noises outside the wall these days, making the old man think too much?"

"You, aren't you afraid?"

The white old man wondered, and then he looked at the young master in front of him with a strange expression.

"It's okay. I went to see it when I heard the noise before. There is nothing to be afraid of."

Lin Mao looked at the old man fixedly, and said slowly word by word.

The old man's figure trembled slightly.

Lin Mao made it clear that when the monster appeared, he also went to see it -- then he had also seen the monster that could hardly be described in words.But that's the kind of person who, to put it bluntly, saw it, but didn't feel scared at all.

Obviously, Mr. Lin knew what the monster was, and he might even have brought it, so he didn't feel any fear or doubt at all.

After the old man Bai thought about this clearly, he looked at Lin Mao again, and he couldn't even feel close and loving at all.

Obviously he was still such a handsome young man with clear eyes, but in the eyes of the white old man, he was no better than the green-faced ghost with fangs.

Until now, the only thing that the old man can be thankful for is that he has never yelled at Mr. Lin, nor treated anyone rudely with foul language—then the old man heaved a sigh of relief.

It was just that the old man had a problem afterwards. He was a person who was not afraid of heaven and earth, but now he had to carry a statue of Bodhisattva in his arms every day, otherwise he would be dizzy, his feet would be weak, and he would not be able to walk. It's a later story...,

Leaving aside how frightened the old man was, let's talk about Lin Mao in the room after seeing the old man away.

He saw how the white old man staggered out of the door, stood there for a long while, then slumped his shoulders, and walked slowly to the bed.

Chang Xiaoqingmu was lying on the bed in a daze, with his hands on his lower abdomen, his eyes were foggy looking at the dusty bed curtain.

Lin Mao poured hot water to wash the veil, slowly removed Chang Xiaoqing's inner garment, and reached in for him to wipe his body.

Aside from the loss of soul, the mouthful of blood that Chang Xiaoqing sucked from Lin Mao was really not a loss. In fact, it was only a short period of time, and many old wounds on Chang Xiaoqing's body disappeared one by one, and his whole body was abnormal. Except for the old wounds on the delicate skin, all the shallower scars have faded away.His complexion has also improved a lot, his curled eyelashes rest on his closed eyelids, and his palms are slightly itchy when he touches them.

"Xiaoqing, do you want to wake up quickly?"

Lin Mao pressed his forehead against Chang Xiaoqing's and said quietly.

He could still hold on in front of the old man, but in front of Brother Chang Xiaoqing, Lin Mao looked extremely tired.

Since his life, he has hardly ever worried about other people's affairs.

In the early years, there was Senior Brother Chang, and later there was Chang Xiaoqing.

Even if it is extremely rare that he may need to travel alone for a period of time, at that time he did not have a living person with him, and he did not need to worry about the living person's food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, let alone...

"rustle……"

Slightly like a feather falling to the ground, or dew condensing on the slender spider web.

Lin Mao turned around suddenly, only to see that the window in the room was opened a crack in silence.

The cloth scarf tied behind Lin Mao's head was taken off by old man Bai and placed on the table after he left, and it had long since disappeared.
