C160 Location
The two of them followed the old man just like that. After walking for a few minutes, the old man turned around and shook his head helplessly at the two of them. "Why are you two following me? Hurry up and leave!" He used the wooden stick in his hand to hit the grass to drive the two of them away.
"The road is here. You can't control how we want to go, can you?" Yu Longchen had a thick-skinned look on his face. Who could control him?
"Okay, okay, okay." The old man closed his eyes and shook his head. He turned around and continued to walk towards the dense forest. His footsteps were fast.
The two of them looked at each other and continued to follow. If the old man stopped, they would stop. If the old man left, they would leave.
They did not know where they had gone. They went into the pine forest. Other than the fallen pine leaves, there was no other vegetation on the ground. Occasionally, cute little squirrel scuttled to the branches and stared at the three of them with its big round eyes. It was filled with curiosity. If its voice was louder, it would be afraid of running away.
The old man was still humming a song as he shook his head and walked in front of them. Looking at his emaciated appearance and his extremely fast walking speed, a pair of bamboo-like legs drifted in the air.
Yu Longchen wanted to follow his footsteps, but it was actually a little strenuous. After all, the two of them were injured and walked quickly. They were afraid of touching Mu Ruqing's back, so they could only watch the old man drill into a forest and disappear without a trace.
"Old man?" Mu Ruqing called out tentatively, but only the birds in the forest answered her with a clear voice.
"Old man?" ___ asked. Mu Ruqing's voice was a little louder, startling a few birds. There was still no response.
"Let's go and take a look first." Yu Longchen looked at the place where the old man disappeared and walked over. He turned around and saw the old man standing behind the trees with a vigilant look on his face.
"What's wrong?" Mu Ruqing looked around and did not find anything unusual. If there were people following, they would have rushed over long ago. Two injured people and an old man. No matter how she calculated, they would win.
The old man stamped the wooden stick on the ground and lightly snorted. He said disdainfully, "You are still a young man. You can't even walk past an old man. You still want me to wait for you."
"Gengci." Mu Ruqing looked at the old man's cute appearance and laughed, "The old man is so strong. We naturally can't compare with him."
"I like listening to you, little girl." The old man laughed heartily, "It's pleasant to hear. Come, come, come. I'll take you guys out while I'm in a good mood."
Yu Longchen's face was full of black lines. Did he bring us around in a circle just now?
"What are you thinking about?" The old man looked at Yu Longchen's expression and spoke as he walked, "I'm not that bad. I won't force you. Hmph. "
Yu Longchen was humiliated and pouted. Now was not the time to get angry when he needed someone's help. Mu Ruqing touched his cheek to comfort him.
"Alright, it's been a day of flirting and I, an experienced person, have been watching. Don't chill my heart. I really want to have a companion."
"Don't we already have us? We'll be your companions!"
"Okay, okay, now there's someone to talk to. There's no need to talk with those little animals. Hahaha. " The old man happily slapped his thigh and shook his entire body.
The more he looked at the old man, the cuter he looked. He was actually this happy.
"The older you are, the more childish you are." Yu Longchen also laughed, but his voice was low, so the old man could not hear him.
After passing by a small stream, it was only a foot wide. He kept it in the protruding river. There was a small pond with water in it downstream.
Yu Longchen turned his head and took a few glances. He silently noted down the location and thought of catching some fish to replenish Mu Ruqing's body.
After crossing the river, there was an open grassland. Behind the grassland was a continuous valley. It was not half the height of the cliff and there were many low-lying places.
"Old man, is it still far?" Mu Ruqing saw that Yu Longchen was a little tired and wanted to go down, but he did not give it to her.
"Not far, not far, just ahead." The old man pointed at the mountain stream in front of them. The two of them looked in his direction and only saw a corner of a straw house.
The old man suddenly thought of something and stopped beside the two of them. He gave them a look and said, "Don't call me old man for a day. I also have a name. Let me think..."
The old man thought about it and walked to the front. He seemed to have forgotten his name.
The outhouse looked close, but in reality, it was still very far away. Why did it feel like he was walking on the horizon when he was so close to it?
"Don't worry, we're here." The old man ran happily and reached the mountain stream in a few steps.
Yu Longchen's heart was beating fast. That was because he was tired. He had been carrying him for three minutes, and the road had been twisted and bent again. It would be strange if he wasn't tired. Mu Ruqing thought and her eyes were filled with happiness. Even now, it was like this. Her heart was also filled with happiness.
The thatched hut was indeed worthy of its name. It was a simple house. The walls were built with trees, and the roof was thatched.
The two of them had just arrived when they saw the old man take out two small stools. Rather than calling them stools, it would be more accurate to call them wooden stakes.
"Thank you, old man." Mu Ruqing was very polite. She sat on the wooden pole and looked at the old man with a happy expression.
"No problem, no problem. I can't wait for you to come." The old man leaned against the door with an exaggerated smile. His eyes were squeezed out. "By the way, didn't you say not to call me old man?"
"Then why should I call you?" Yu Longchen looked at the old man and asked with raised eyebrows.
"Uh..." The old man scratched his head and shook off a few leaves, "Call... call... I don't care, whatever, I can't remember anyway. "
"You have such a kind face, your name should be very nice." The lethality of Mu Ruqing's smile was so great that even the old man was confused. Actually, it was also Mu Ruqing's probe. It was not that she did not have any doubts about this old man. It was that the two of them were already like this. There was nothing worth lying about. They should follow him out of the forest first.
"Nameless." The old man clapped his hands, seemingly happy to remember his name. "Yes, Nameless."
"Okay, Grandpa Nameless. Thank you for taking us in." Mu Ruqing looked at the old man and clasped her hands, "Sorry to bother you today."
"Are you hungry?" The old man looked at Mu Ruqing's appearance and was delighted in his heart. What a good little girl. If only she was my granddaughter.
"A little." Mu Ruqing rubbed her stomach and looked embarrassed.
"Wait for me to catch some fish." The old man shook his black sleeve and threw away the wooden stick. His legs were nimble and the wooden stick was just a decoration.
"Let me go." Yu Longchen did not believe that he could hit the fish. He wanted to go by himself.
"Stop. You are the only one who has a lot of things to do." The old man frowned and the old man frowned. He rolled his eyes at Yu Longchen and left.
Yu Longchen was helpless. He could not help but kiss Mu Ruqing. After that, he touched his own lips and looked like he was reminiscing.
"Shameless." Mu Ruqing blushed and moved her legs. She pulled the wound and bared her teeth.
"I told you not to move." Yu Longchen gently poked Mu Ruqing's head.
"Let me see your wound." Mu Ruqing reached out to Yu Longchen with a cute face.
"I want to see yours too."
"Okay. Later, ask grandpa if there is any ointment. I will apply it on you."
"Okay, Qing, I want to tell you something..." Yu Longchen hesitated for a while and struggled for a long time. He felt that he should tell her.
"Yes." Mu Ruqing nodded and looked into the distance.
"Take a look." The old man held a few fish and interrupted their conversation.
Yu Longchen looked at Mu Ruqing's happy look and suddenly could not bear it anymore. It was better to wait a few more days.
