Travel through the long dream millennium

After hearing the sharp and piercing whistle from the copper pot on the coal stove, the sleepy and smiling old Li Tou, who looked very amiable, gradually stretched out from the action of curling up on the wooden chair and basking in the sun , as if planning to lift the broken kettle that disturbed my sleep.

At this moment, a short but nimble figure suddenly jumped out from behind the cover, like a light deer running among the woods, and rushed towards the screaming at a speed far exceeding that of Old Li's clumsy, clumsy, clumsy, and slow reaction. The kettle, it seems that they intend to forcibly take it away.

"Young people today..."

As if being dazzled by the too strong sunlight in the afternoon, Old Li squinted his eyes and let out a faint sigh.

"Ugh-"

The thin figure who was still running was suddenly horrified to find that his hands and feet seemed to be bound by something. No matter how desperately he struggled and resisted, he still couldn't move a little bit.

As for Old Li Tou, he maintained a snail-like efficiency from the beginning to the end, moving step by step, his panting breathing, cloudy eyes, and wrinkled old skin always make people worry about whether he is going down. In a second, he will fall to the ground dejectedly and drive west.However, such a situation did not happen after all, he slowly walked to the place only one step away from the kettle, and came to the child who was inexplicably stopped.

Yes, that thin and short figure was just a little boy who was only eight or nine years old.His face was sallow and thin, his dirty face was bloodless, his arms and thighs were dry and weak like reed sticks, but his stomach was disproportionately bulging, and he was obviously severely malnourished.

Facing the old Li head who was close at hand, the boy's lips trembled nervously. His body was still unable to move, but he could still speak simply.From the child's mouth came a small begging cry, "Good man... Please, my sister is going to die of illness, she just wants to drink a sip of hot water..."

"Really?" Hearing the words, Old Li was slightly moved. He bent slightly, and put his right hand on the child's skinny shoulder, with a kind and gentle expression on his face, "What a poor child."

Because of Old Li's actions, the child's already desperate eyes instantly glowed. He blinked in disbelief, and stammered, "Then...can you..."

"But what does that have to do with me?"

After appreciating the change in the boy's expression from despair to hope and then to despair full of fear, Old Li let out a long and satisfied breath, the smile on his face as warm as the sun remained unchanged, but the strength of the palm that fell on the child's chest was ruthless. Cruel as hell.

Before the child even had time to utter a scream representing pain, it flew backwards, hit a half wall not far away, and fell softly to the ground without moving.

Slowly retracting the withered and yellow palm full of veins, old Li Tou's usually dull and cloudy eyes were as sharp as a falcon. The cold north wind blows past, rolling up waste and dust all over the ground, and the old body under the sun is as thick as a mountain, which cannot be pushed away.I don't know how many eyes lurking in the dark, even if they know that the other party can't find them, they subconsciously dodge the other party's sight and hold their breath for a while.

This kind of power came and went quickly, and a few minutes later, standing in front of the small shop was still the old man who would collapse in the wind, wobbly holding a kettle and planning to make tea.

As for the child who had been silent since just now and seemed to be dead, naturally no one would care.

After this innocuous little turmoil passed, Lao Li, who had just taken a sip of coarse tea and raised some spirits, suddenly raised his drooping eyelids, and with a gentle smile on his face that could arouse goodwill, he greeted the man from the street. The young man who walked in the end.

This is a newcomer.

Old Li made such a judgment in his heart without hesitation.

The newcomer from the Black Street was wearing a simple but neat dark blue cloak with a hood—enough to hide most of his face and body in a dark place that ordinary people couldn't peek at.However, just from the small half of Huashuang Saixue's skin exposed under the hood and the exquisite and perfect jaw, it can be judged that he is definitely young and has an excellent appearance.

"food?"

The young man's voice was low and hoarse, with vicissitudes and exhaustion that did not match his age.

"Yes, as long as you can afford the price, there are all kinds of small shops."

Although the other party's question was endless, Old Li, who was used to seeing people's ways of the world, quickly understood what he meant, rubbing his hands and smiling very courteously.

"it is good."

Seemingly satisfied with Old Li's reply, the young man nodded and followed Old Li into his shop.

This young man, who has been refusing to show his true face since he appeared, entered the store, his first eyes fell on the sparse and poor-looking black bread and dried meat on the shelves, and he tapped lightly. Knock on the counter in front of you, turn around and leave.

"Don't, don't, why are the good things placed outside openly, and they are all in the hut behind."

Seeing that the business that had been so hard to open for so long was about to fail, Lao Li became anxious and hurriedly greeted him.

Hearing this, the young man who had already turned his head slowly turned around again, reached into his cloak with his right hand and took out a cloth bag, which was still on the counter casually.

Old Li, who untied the bag and glanced in casually, almost didn't pop his eyes out.

He has lived for such a long time, and he has never seen so many crystals at one time.

There are all kinds of colors and attributes... And the most important thing is - Old Li's eyes are deeply fixed on the corner of the cloth bag stained with Youwei's dried blood and gray traces.

This shows that there must be a few crystals among them, which were taken out of the mutated creature's head not long ago, and then put into the cloth bag.

Taking a deep breath, old Li Touqiang suppressed the greedy desire and possessive delusion that had arisen in vain when he saw such a great wealth, bowed his head respectfully and took out a blue spar, and then pushed the cloth bag to the young man again. on the counter in front of you. "Just one, and you can take everything in the back room."

To be able to survive to this age in the apocalypse with his own insignificant abilities, what Lao Li relies on is not strength, but the philosophy of life he has always believed in - avoiding danger.

Although the opponent's age and behavior like a baby (mainly because he hastily revealed such a large amount of wealth to strangers), the possibility of possessing strong strength is not high.But judging from that cloth bag and the vigilance and premonition that surged in his heart from time to time, old Li didn't even dare to cheat him, let alone using any means to steal it.

It is undoubtedly the most stupid choice to piss off the other party because of a small profit when the opponent's strength may be much higher than yours. Over the years, Lao Li has seen many idiots who lost their lives because of this.

Seeing this, the young man nodded lightly, without saying anything more, followed the gesture of Old Li and walked into the cubicle blocked by the dilapidated wooden door. Soon after, he carried a bulging black mountaineering bag on his back. Bag came out.

He silently bid farewell to Old Li. After stepping out of the store, he looked around for a while, and then walked towards a small alley to the west.

But his steps were soon blocked.

The young man lowered his head and looked inexplicably at the boy who was lying limp on the ground, pulling a corner of his cloak, with a pale face and a big gash on his forehead.The child opened his tearful eyes and cried out mournfully, "Please, please, please...my little sister is going to starve to death..."

He was hidden under the hood, his star-like cold and indifferent eyes made the boy shiver, but he still gritted his teeth and looked at the young man resolutely.

After a long stalemate, the young man changed his attitude of going silent first, and raised his foot to step on the boy's skinny right hand, which was so powerful that the latter couldn't help screaming in pain.

"First of all, it's too much. To show your sincerity, you kept looking me in the eyes while speaking - actually, it just made you look more suspicious, because it's rarely done by anyone under normal circumstances."

He was talking unhurriedly, and the other side did not forget to kick the boy's hand aside, revealing the half-opened small paper bag underneath.The young man bent down to pick it up, looked at it for a moment and continued to speak, "Secondly, when taking out this harmful powder, be gentle with your hands."

The boy whose real purpose had been fully exposed completely tore off the pitiful appearance he had disguised before, and stared at the other party with venomous eyes and a ferocious expression for a moment. Seeing that the young man didn't respond, he quickly staggered away clutching his chest.

"You shouldn't let him go. Looking at that brat, I'm afraid he already hates you."

Old Li, who watched the farce from beginning to end, said softly behind the young man.

"Didn't you cause the heaviest injury on his body?" The young man said lightly.

"But he doesn't have the guts to take revenge on me, so he will naturally target you, the guest." Because you don't look like a strong person at all.

Old Li added something from the bottom of his heart.

"Are there many such children?"

Hearing the young man's confused question, Old Li smiled. His withered and old laughter was eerie and treacherous. The wrinkles on his face were piled up one after another, like a dahlia that had grown bad.

"The black street has three religions and nine streams. It's a mess. There are all kinds of people, except for clean people."

"Maybe there were, but they didn't live long."
