C262 What a Strange Old Man(1)
A burst of shouts came from behind. Lee Zhuohua was having a headache because he couldn't find Qian Yuan Academy, but when he heard this shout, he turned his head curiously.
They saw a group of people chasing after a short and fat old man, and as they chased the old man, they continued to curse. From their curses, they could hear that the old man seemed to have stolen their wine.
Lee Zhuohua looked puzzledly at the old man. His hair was a mess, his face was slightly smoky, and his dark blue robe was filled with patches that hung loosely on his body. His exposed chest could be seen as he ran, without any care for his appearance. He was small and fat, but that did nothing to impede his mobility. At first glance, it seemed that the group was chasing the old man, but if you looked closely, it was as if the old man were taking them for a walk.
Lee Zhuohua found that although the old man was being chased by a group of people, he did not seem to be flustered at all. As he ran, he drank from the wine pot in his hand. From time to time, he burped, looking very uncomfortable.
It didn't look like he was fleeing in panic after being found out that he had stolen the wine.
Seeing this, Lee Zhuohua could tell that the people chasing behind him did not have any Qi fluctuation on their bodies. They were just some ordinary people.
But this old man was different. If it was any other old man, he would have fallen to the ground while panting, let alone a group of young men who couldn't catch up to him.
More importantly, Lee Zhuohua could feel a vague mysterious aura from the short and fat old man. This made Lee Zhuohua unable to see clearly, but he was sure that this person was not an ordinary person.
When Lee Zhuohua stopped to watch the group of people running, the old man with untidy clothes also noticed Lee Zhuohua.
He saw a young man blocking in front of him, and a trace of a conspiratorial smile appeared on his face. His pair of slightly smoky eyes narrowed, as if he had an idea.
After that, he deliberately led the group of people chasing after him to run towards Lee Zhuohua. Because the short and fat old man changed his direction of escape, the group of people behind him also swarmed towards Lee Zhuohua.
"Hmm?" When Lee Zhuohua saw this scene, he frowned. He did not know what the short and fat old man was trying to do, but he was still secretly on guard.
At this moment, the short and fat old man ran to Lee Zhuohua. He made a face at the vigilant Lee Zhuohua, causing Lee Zhuohua to be in a daze. Following that, the old man actually moved his body and hid behind Lee Zhuohua, revealing a face full of fear.
Lee Zhuohua didn't understand what the old man meant, but he felt that something bad was about to happen.
"Good grandson, why did you come so late? If you had come a little later, your grandfather would have been beaten to death by this group of people. Look, grandpa stole your favorite wine." The short and fat old man hid behind Lee Zhuohua and shouted in an extremely exaggerated manner. The sound was so loud that it was as if he was afraid that the people chasing after him would not be able to hear him.
As expected, under the loud shout of the stocky old man, the group of people who were chasing after him stopped and looked at Lee Zhuohua doubtfully.
At this moment, Lee Zhuohua had fallen into a daze because of the short and fat old man's shout.
"Young...Young Master?" Lee Zhuohua muttered as three black lines flashed across his forehead.
Lee Zhuohua thought that the old man was going to do something, but it seemed like he had run into a professional pengci scammer who wanted to throw the blame on him. This made Lee Zhuohua speechless for a long time.
Lee Zhuohua, who had realized what was going on, turned his head stiffly and stared at the short and fat old man with eyes filled with killing intent.
Under Lee Zhuohua's gaze, the old man pretended to be frightened and shivered. He looked at Lee Zhuohua with pitiful eyes. In the eyes of others, he was just an innocent old man who stole wine for his grandson, and when he was found out, he was still stared at by his grandson.
"My good grandson, it's Grandpa who's useless. Don't be angry, don't be angry when you're caught stealing wine." This old man seemed to have gotten addicted to acting. He kept calling him grandson, causing Lee Zhuohua to feel that his killing intent had suddenly increased.
As for the people who had chased after him, when they saw the scene in front of them and heard the old man's pitiful words, they mistakenly thought that Lee Zhuohua was really the old man's grandson.
They were people from a nearby restaurant, and they were just opening their doors for business, but a Little Laotou came out of nowhere, and he didn't even buy any wine when he entered the shop. He just looked around and came up to the most famous wine jars in their shop.
At first, they thought that Little Laotou was going to buy some wine, but the old man turned out to be a scoundrel. He actually said that he would buy it after the entire jar was finished. How could they agree to that? In the end, when the old man heard that they didn't agree, he picked up the wine jar and ran away like a wisp of smoke.
This made them very anxious. They chased after him all the way. It was strange that they couldn't catch up to the old man on the way.
Now that they heard the old man's words and saw the gloomy Lee Zhuohua, they thought that this person was the real deal and in their hearts, Lee Zhuohua had completely become an unworthy descendant. He actually let his grandfather steal the wine, how shameless.
"You are the grandson of this old man, right? You are really filial, calling your grandfather to come out at such an old age to steal wine." One of them walked up and said to Lee Zhuohua.
"Hmm?" Lee Zhuohua frowned when he heard that. His face was filled with killing intent as he looked at the man.
