The old man's body was extremely tall, but he was dressed in rags, and it was impossible to distinguish what style it was, whether it was a long shirt or a short sleeve, only strips of rags hung down, barely covering his body. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Not only that, but the rags were also oily, almost dried up, and the original softness of ordinary clothes could not be felt at all.

It was this shirt that kept emitting a sour and disgusting smell, which caused the guests who ate and drank in the inn to frown and cover their noses, and in the time when Jian Chen entered the door, some guests couldn't bear it anymore, and threw silver on the table and ran.

It looks like a refugee, and it's no wonder that the store is so anxious to rush people, if you leave this old man in the store for a moment, the inn's business will not have to be done today.

When Jian Chen entered the door, the old man was being driven not far from the door and faced him.

But although he was pushed by the two little two, the old man was not angry, with a smile on his face, holding a big steamed bun with a missing corner in both hands, and was gobbling it into his mouth.

The steamed bun was originally snow-white, but it was held by his big black and messy hands, and suddenly it was black and white, and people had no appetite at all.

"Old man!"

One of the younger two who pushed him said angrily: "If you get the steamed buns, go quickly, pretend to be crazy and sell stupid!"

As he spoke, his heart was on fire, and he kicked him on the back again, making the force not small, and the old man stumbled and almost fell.

"Stop!"

When Jian Chen saw it, he couldn't help but feel sad, and he roared angrily at the moment, and took a step forward to support the old man's body.

The palm of his hand touched the old man's body, and he suddenly felt that he was touching a handful of bones, it turned out that the old man seemed to be tall, but he only had a large skeleton, and there was no muscle on his body, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was covered with skin and bones.

At the moment, he was even more angry, and after holding it steady, he said angrily to the two juniors: "This old man is so pitiful, you should hurry up, do something!"

The two little two saw that he had a stick and a sword behind his back, and he thought that he was also a person in the martial arts, for fear that he would not be able to please him when he was fighting, so his arrogance suddenly weakened a lot.

For a while, you look at me, I look at you, and they don't dare to rush forward.

"Young man, this young man!"

Instead, a short, stocky middle-aged man rushed up from behind the counter, thinking that it was the shopkeeper here.

He rushed forward, with a smile on his face, and said to Jian Chen: "Young man doesn't know, when this old man called Hanako first came, we often gave him some food to pass away. ”

"But......" He glanced at the old man, and said with a bitter face: "This old man called Hanako is too ignorant, and he doesn't leave when he gives food, and he always wanders around the store, and he chews and drinks the food and drink ordered on the table of the guests, and drinks it when he serves it." ”

Pointing to the sour old man, he said angrily: "Tell me, which of the things that have been touched by his dirty hands still dare to eat?" This situation has been in this situation for a few days, and seeing that there are fewer and fewer customers coming and going in this store, it is about to be disturbed and closed, you say, how can we bear it!"

Jian Chen was slightly stunned, seeing that he was sincere, and the guests at the table next to him echoed him, thinking that it was also the truth.

couldn't help but turn a little pale, his voice softened a little, and said, "Even so, it's not easy to do it." ”

Looking at the old man again, ignoring the sour smell on his body, he said softly, "Old man, what injuries do you have?"

But he didn't want to, the old man who had been smiling suddenly wowed, cried, and shouted heartbreakingly: "Steamed buns, my steamed buns." ”

Jian Chen was stunned for a moment, and looked at his fingers, only to see that the already dirty steamed bun rolled to the side at some point, and happened to be stepped on by the guest who entered the inn again, turning into a black flatbread.

When he was stunned, the old man suddenly broke free of his hands and flew up, about to pick it up.

Jian Chen was shocked, grabbed him one by one, and said, "Old man, this steamed bun can't be eaten anymore!"

"Steamed bread, steamed bread!"

The old man didn't care about it, struggled hard, and still wanted to pick it up, but his strength was not weak.

Jian Chen's eyes turned red, and he said in his heart, it turned out that behind the prosperity of Luoyang City, there were still such pitiful and miserable people.

The figure swayed, blocked in front of the steamed bun, and said loudly: "Old man, I don't want this steamed bun, I invite you to eat beef!"

As soon as the word beef came out, it really worked.

The old man's struggling body stopped, and on the old face, which was black and greasy, and he couldn't see his original appearance, a pair of cloudy eyes flashed with surprise, and shouted, "Are you serious?"

"Really!"

Jian Chen nodded heavily.

"Great!" the old man cheered, burst into laughter, and said happily, "I still want to drink!"

When the shopkeeper and Xiao Er saw it, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and they couldn't speak for a long time.

Fortunately, there is a saying that money can make the devil grind.

After Jian Chen casually threw out two silver ingots, the reluctance in the shopkeeper's heart had already washed away a lot.

However, Jian Chen didn't want him to be too embarrassed, so he didn't sit in the front hall at the moment, and ordered Xiao Er to open an upper room, eat and drink all the wine and meat into the room, and drink behind closed doors with the old man, but he didn't disturb people's business.

"Old man, eat slowly...... Be careful not to choke......"

The guest table in the room was full, and the plate of high-quality beef weighing more than three catties was now half missing, and the old man stepped on the stool with one foot, his tall body almost threw himself on the table, and his hands were even more busy, gobbling it up, and poured two sips of strong wine when he was empty, and ate so happily.

Jian Chen looked at the old man with empty hands and feet speechlessly, for fear that he would be careless and settle the account.

After a long time, just after the shopkeeper was terrified to serve the food for the fifth time, the old man finally laughed, touched his round belly, and said coolly.

Jian Chen had already stopped chopsticks, not that he thought the old man was sloppy, but he was too good at eating, and with Jian Chen's stomach growing up, he only ate one-tenth of him, and he was already full.

He looked at the old man with a smile and said softly: "Old man, eat and drink enough, you can rest for a while, and I will ask Xiao Er to fetch some hot water later, wash your body well, and then change into clean clothes......"

When the old man heard this, he suddenly burped, and said disapprovingly: "What to wash, the old man has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for most of his life, when has he taken a bath, the beggar disciples have to be dirty to be decent, hahaha!"

He laughed to himself, but Jian Chen's eyes suddenly froze, he stood up, and exclaimed, "Old man, you are also a member of the beggar gang?"

It's no wonder he was surprised, in the rivers and lakes, the beggar gang disciple will inevitably be called Huazi, but the beggar gang disciple is not necessarily called the beggar gang disciple.

When I first saw this old man, I only felt that he was miserable and pitiful, if he was really a member of the beggar gang, someone would naturally take care of him, just like in Chenzhou that day, Guo Chuanzong sent buns to the beggars in the broken temple, and he would never end up in such a field.

"What, don't you think the old man looks like it?"

The old man winked at him, grinning again.

"Uh...... Like, like ......"
