The gloomy atmosphere spread all over the old man's body, and Su Ziyi, who had been paying attention to him, noticed it all at once.

It was also at this time that they walked outside the inn where Su Ziyi was temporarily staying.

Seeing this dirty inn, the confusion in the old man's eyes became even worse.But in the next second, he woke up, took a step back while holding the child, thanked Su Ziyi in a low voice, and planned to leave.

Unexpectedly, just as he turned around, he was grabbed by a small hand.

Looking down, it turned out to be the older child.He was looking at himself with open eyes, and his voice was crisp: "Grandpa, come up with us." He glanced at the child in the old man's arms and said, "My brother looks very sleepy too, go to our room to sleep Sleep." He dared to say and do so, of course it was Su Ziyi's order.

But the old man doesn't know.

He thought the child was kind-hearted, so he forced a smile and shook his head: "No, no trouble, thank you." His tone was full of exhaustion, but the smile on his face never faded.And just when he thought it was over and was about to leave, this time Su Ziyi patted him on the shoulder.

Su Ziyi didn't use much force, but it was enough to pin the old man in place.

Without speaking, Su Ziyi still gestured with gestures, the meaning expressed was exactly the same as what the child said.This time, the eyes of the old man who didn't shed a single tear along the way turned red. He glanced at the yawning grandson in his arms, then at Su Ziyi, who was not well dressed, and finally nodded. , thank you again.

Forget it, sometimes for the sake of life, it's better not to be shameless.

Moreover, he has a grandson to take care of.

Su Ziyi didn't open another room, but took the old man to his room, gave up his bed to him, and after driving the two children to bed together, he left the bedroom to find Zhihuai.And when the old man lay on the bed and felt the not-so-soft but clean bedding under him, he still felt like he was dreaming.

But soon, his tired body urged him to fall asleep.

Su Ziyi found Zhihuai, told him about the old man, and asked him to cooperate with him.And Zhihuai didn't need Su Ziyi to explain it thoroughly, he understood the joint, and showed that he would do well, so Su Ziyi was relieved

When the old man woke up, the sun was already in the west.

The three children were still sleeping. When he dimly opened his eyes and saw his grandson sleeping soundly, he couldn't help but smile a little more on his face, but it turned into a sad one.But at this moment, he heard the sound of teacups colliding from behind him, his heart froze, and he turned his back as if facing a formidable enemy, only to see a young man sitting on the opposite small table drinking slowly. Caution.

This person has never seen it.

Before the old man was on guard, Zhenghuai just smiled at him: "Are you awake? Old man." His voice was very low, apparently to avoid waking up the three children.Seeing this, the old man who had always been more thoughtful felt better about him. He got up from the bed lightly, straightened his clothes, and then said to Zhihuai after consideration: "Yes, thanks Yours are taken care of."

"It's okay." Compared with Su Ziyi, Long Huai's face was not so cold, and he was even more approachable when he smiled.And these days, he has seen too many disasters about ordinary people, so compared to before, now he has more sincere sympathy for the poor grandpa and grandson, and his tone is much better : "When you go out, don't you all want to take care of each other?"

"Come on, please take a seat."

Although he was still wary of Long Huai, the old man still sat down, and after taking a sip of tea to moisten his throat, he asked, "I don't know what your name is?" He quickly added: "My surname is Cui, and my name is Yishan. That is my little grandson Cui Huairen. We came from Quzhou.

His week?

Zhi Huai knew: "That's really a coincidence, I'm from the Eastern Qi country, I didn't expect to meet people from neighboring countries here." After a pause, he said: "This time the great flood directly wiped out half of the Eastern Qi country. The whole country was flooded, so my brother and I had no choice but to come to Diyue country, and we picked up those two children on the way."

What?Those two children are not related by blood to the cold-faced young man I saw earlier?

The old man was taken aback for a moment, and then he came back to his senses, but at this moment his impression of Su Ziyi and Zhihuai has become very good.After all, he and his grandson can't carry it with their hands or shoulders, so what's there for them to remember?So, after thinking about it, the gloom in his eyes suddenly became much less.

"My surname is Ye, and my name is Ye Shi. The one who brought you here before is my brother, Ye Yi."

The surname Zhi was a common surname in Eastern Qi, and only the Zhi family, a cultivating family, used this surname, so Zhi Huai, who was careful, directly borrowed Su Ziyi's false surname to introduce herself to the other party.And he was a little more accurate than Su Ziyi in seeing people. He looked at the old man's sitting posture and the way he drank tea, and he could basically tell that the old man was from a wealthy family in Qu Zhou, and he should be among the top-notch among ordinary people.

"That's it." The old man put down his teacup, with a slight smile on his face, and he seemed to give people a kind feeling: "Today is really thanks to the two little brothers Ye, otherwise my little grandson and I..." He sighed With a sigh of relief, sadness almost overflowed from his eyes.

Zhi Huai quickly interrupted him: "It's nothing, it's just a little effort."

"By the way, are there only you two in your family?" After he finished speaking, he realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly made up for it: "Those cultivators made a big show today, and I saw many people They were all forced to separate from their family members, old man, you wouldn’t do the same..." Needless to say, the regret in it was beyond words.

But the old man shook his head, and said in a very bitter tone: "If this is the case, then there is still hope. It is a pity that most of our family was damaged in the flood first, and the rest of us could not carry it. I went. So now it's just me, my old bones, and my little grandson who doesn't know anything.

Speaking of this, he was still very worried: "I don't know how long I can carry this old bone, whether I can carry it until the child grows up, if not..." His mood sank: "In this life, how can I be so tired?" Is it that hard?

Zhi Huai couldn't accept this.

Before the child woke up, the two chatted a little longer.From Cui Yishan's words, Zhihuai knew that the impact of the great flood on Qu Zhou was more serious than that of Eastern Qi. Almost half of the country was gone, and even cultivators would not be spared.The loss of a large area of ​​land led to a shortage of resources, which caused turmoil in Quzhou in just a few days.

The Cui family was originally a wealthy family, but in the face of such a disaster, they were the first to be robbed, and the wealth they had accumulated for several generations was snatched away by rioting refugees, and they were preserved only because of the desperate efforts of the guards.Seeing that the situation in Qu Zhou's country was going to be completely out of control, Cui Yishan brought his surviving family members to move to Diyue Kingdom.

But this road is so easy to walk.

Different from the Eastern Qi Kingdom, this time the cultivators in the Quzhou Kingdom completely lost the ability to control ordinary people due to heavy losses, so they were also tired of coping with the riots of the refugees.Therefore, when the Cui family headed eastward, there was no chaos in every place they passed. What was even more frightening was that the guards who originally protected them also rebelled and robbed them of all their remaining property.

The Cui family is good at doing business, but they are extremely weak in terms of survival.

Therefore, when they reached the border of Diyue Kingdom, the number of people who were still alive could be counted, and except for him and his little grandson, everyone else was injured. Because there was no timely medical treatment, they were rapidly deteriorating. .After they were caught by the cultivators of Diyue Kingdom and abused all the way, their already weak little lives went away like this.

Now, it's really only them left.

Losing their parents when they were young, and losing their sons when they were old, this pair of grandparents have suffered the sorrows of the world at an age when they shouldn't have to bear these costs. The key is that they don't have much time left.As Cui Yishan said, when he goes, his two-year-old grandson will definitely not be able to survive in this troubled world, and it may even be worse than death.

There are too many things like the Cui family, so many that Zhihuai is a little numb.

After finishing these things, Cui Yishan's depression that had been smoldering in his heart dissipated a little bit. He looked at Zhenghuai and said, "By the way, where is Brother Ye? I have to thank him. If it wasn't for him, my bones would have been destroyed." I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on anymore." His words woke up Yi Huai from his daze: "He's not here, he has something to do."

As soon as he finished speaking, a child's snoring came from the bed.

Su Ziyi, who was missed by Cui Yishan, is indeed no longer in the inn, and has even left Rucheng

At that time, after handing over his grandfather and grandson to Zhihuai, he left the inn, disappeared into a hidden place in a blink of an eye, quickly groped outside the city, found a place, and activated the power of the five elements. Fine, disguise yourself, and wait patiently outside the city.And he didn't wait long. Not long after noon, the four gates of Rucheng opened, and several groups of refugees walked in different directions under the custody of practitioners.

These refugees are the "excellent" helpers selected by the practitioners this morning.

There is already a girl, Xiao Shuang'er, who can't see it anymore.

Su Ziyi randomly chose a team that was nearby, and followed them. After traveling for nearly two hours, he finally reached the destination that this team of refugees was going to—another mine.
