Chapter 401: The Old Man's Story

When Lin Yu saw the old man's hesitant expression, he knew that there must be a story about the old man, so at this moment he turned his head, glanced at the old man, and then said this smiled.

"Grandpa, what did you want to say just now? Today is also a happy day, why not just tell me what's on your mind!"

As Lin Yu spoke, he poured a glass of wine for the old man. At this time, the old man's wrinkled face suddenly showed a bit of vicissitudes of life.

"Well, I am an old guy. I haven't mentioned what happened back then to anyone in many years, and no one wants to hear what I said. It's just some pretentious things, so there's no need to talk about it!"

After Lin Yu heard what the old man said, he also waved his hands and smiled: "Grandpa, look at what you said. Others don't like to hear what you said, but I like to hear it. You'd better tell me about it!"

Maybe it was because he had been suppressed in his heart for a long time, or maybe it was because of some other reasons, but at this time, the old man who had been silent for a long time suddenly spoke up.

"This incident should actually have happened forty years ago, when I was only in my twenties. At that time, I had a gentle and virtuous wife, and a smart and lovely child. There were successive storms outside that year. In fact, at the beginning, Although our family’s conditions cannot be said to be wealthy, they are still just passable. We have an acre of land and can barely make ends meet. However, everything happened that year!”

When the old man said this, he stopped immediately. He finished the wine in the glass with just one word, and a trace of tears actually flowed out of his cloudy eyes.

"The year-round storm that year left me with no harvest. Actually, it doesn't matter. I can't grow any crops in the ground. The worst I can do is get some sandworms to eat! But, but..."

The old man coughed heavily. At this time, Lin Yu felt a slight pain for no reason.

"What happened next?"

"Later on, although we had no income, we still had to pay taxes. If my family couldn't pay the taxes, they could only use their fields to offset the taxes. If we couldn't pay the money, my family's fields would be gone. The storms that had lasted for several years had made it difficult for us to pay taxes. There was nowhere for everyone to find food. I still remember that night, when I went back, my wife and son were gone!”

After the old man finished speaking, he took another sip of wine, and then started laughing wildly. He looked like he was completely crazy. However, Lin Yu did not stop the old man. He just looked at it from the side. He didn't even know what to say.

At this time, the old man turned his head and glanced at Lin Yu: "Do you think they thought I was poor, so they ran away?"

Lin Yu shook his head and said nothing.

At this time, the old man just smiled like this: "You guessed wrong, no, they didn't think I was poor, but they were taken away. Later I heard from neighbors that after a while, officers and soldiers came and took both of them. When he was captured, did you know what military rations were?"

Lin Yu continued to shake his head.

The old man just spit out two words from his mouth so coldly: "Human flesh!"

At this time, Lin Yu only felt as if there was a big stone pressing on his heart, making him unable to breathe at all. At this time, Lin Yu only felt a little bitter, and everything would be fine. of.

The old man suddenly smiled: "Maybe!"

At this time, Lin Yu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the old man just smiled and glanced at Lin Yu, with a bit of desolation in his eyes.

"I'm a little tired, so I'll take a rest first!"

When Lin Yu heard the old man say this, he nodded and smiled so gently.

"Okay, then you should go to bed early!"

At this time, Lin Yu suddenly felt a very special aura. After recuperating for such a long time, Lin Yu's injury was almost healed, so when he felt this aura, his expression turned slightly After a moment of concentration, a special color flashed through his eyes.

“Although I don’t know where it is, maybe I should go take a look!”

When Lin Yu thought of this, without saying a word, he just rushed outside like this.

In fact, although materials here are poor, it is only in this slum. In fact, among the upper class people, materials are relatively not in short supply.

At this time, Ye Qiu seemed to have noticed Lin Yu's presence. He steadied himself, then turned his head and glanced coldly at Lin Yu.

"I didn't expect that there would be an expert like you in Xiacheng District. This really surprises me!"

Ye Qiu's eyes were fixed on Lin Yu, and at this moment, Lin Yu smiled, and then glanced at Ye Qiu.

"You did call me, which is a bit unexpected. Your aura seems to be a bit good, but your own strength is not that good. It seems that you must have received guidance from an expert, and I don't know why, the aura on your body Sometimes, you must not be able to control this power, so that’s why you’re like this!”

Lin Yu spoke unhurriedly like this, with a somewhat meaningful smile on his lips and a hint of teasing in his eyes.

At this time, Ye Qiu's expression suddenly condensed, and his eyes were fixed on Lin Yu.

"Who are you?"

Lin Yu just smiled: "You don't need to care about who I am for the time being. I have something to tell you. The strange beast in your body is in a bad condition now. It should be seriously injured, so you'd better find a way to heal it!"

After hearing what Lin Yu said, Ye Qiu also bowed respectfully to Lin Yu: "Senior, if you have time tomorrow, please come to the beach to meet at this time!"

When Lin Yu heard Ye Qiu say this, his pupils suddenly enlarged.

"There is a sea in this desert? Why can't I see it!"

After hearing what Lin Yu said, Ye Qiu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Senior, don't you know? There is indeed a sea here, but it is covered by a barrier, so if you don't observe carefully on weekdays, you can't find that place!"

Lin Yu nodded slightly: "Where is the place you are talking about now?"

"Ten miles west of the city!"
