After Su Qi and Gu Beiheng finished their meal and cleaned up, they cooked bone soup again. They didn't plan to continue their journey, so Su Qi sat in the tent, watching the firewood pile for warmth.
Gu Beiheng set up a pile of firewood in front of the tent.
He started to investigate nearby. He didn't go far, and after looking for a while, he returned to Su Qi's side.
"Qiqi, there is indeed something here." Gu Beiheng clenched his fists and frowned.
Su Qi's mind moved, "What did you find?"
"Yingyi and the others are fighting here, there should be troops stationed nearby." Gu Beiheng's eyes flashed, but he didn't know whether it was from the Dashun Kingdom or the Dai Viet Kingdom?
At present, Nanliguo has little chance.
Station troops?
Su Qi swallowed his saliva and dug a hole in the ground. If there were any troops stationed there, they would not be far from Yun County.
In case something happens.
Aren’t you on the road to escape famine again?
Our own power is not enough.
The two sat in the tent, speechless for a moment.
Naturally, the movements of Su Qi and Gu Beiheng were reported to the person behind the scenes.
"Master. Something's happening. There's smoke by the pond."
"Oh? How many people?" The man behind the scenes stretched out his hand and teased the gray wolf in front of him.
"I sent someone from a distance to take a closer look. They found a man and a woman who looked like a couple. The man was quite skilled, but the woman didn't seem to have any martial arts skills."
The hand teasing the gray wolf paused, "A pair of wild mandarin ducks in distress? Otherwise, why would they sneak into the woods?"
The man did not deny it: "I sent someone to kill them."
"Don't worry, there are only two people, and one of them is disabled. Don't worry about them."
"yes."
Gu Beiheng wanted to find out where the troops were stationed here, but he also knew that there was no rush.
Besides, there was such a thick smoke rushing up.
Someone must have noticed what was going on here.
The bone soup was gurgling non-stop.
The white Dalmatian rushed over, its butt raised and its front paws lying on the ground. Its tail was wagging from side to side, and its eyes were fixed on Su Qi and Gu Beiheng.
“Woof, woof woof…”
The sound of the call is not loud.
It looks a bit like a puppy.
Gu Beiheng's eyes turned cold, and he held a stone in his hand and pointed it at the Dalmatian.
"Friend, are you sure you don't want this dog?"
The old man with white beard jumped over from the side and waved his hands:
"No, no. I asked it to get along well with you, but this little thing dared to be so mean." The old man with white beard had white hair and a youthful face, without even a wrinkle on his face.
A pair of eyes on the rosy face stared at the earthenware pot, and when he sniffed, he found a faint scent coming towards him.
But it doesn’t taste like the pot.
Su Qi was already panicked when he saw the old man with white beard.
She doesn't know what's going on?
Su Tianze looks exactly like the brother she almost met in her previous life.
Isn’t the old man with white beard the old monster master that makes her so angry and respectful?
what is going on?
Su Qi patted Gu Beiheng, causing him to look back at her in surprise. Seeing Su Qi's face change and her brows tightly locked, he asked, "Qiqi, what's wrong with you?"
"I think the old man looks like someone I used to know." Su Qi's eyes were misty, and even his nose felt sore unconsciously.
The old man with white beard was just trying to find a reason to get close to him.
After hearing Su Qi's words, his eyes lit up.
He quickly kicked the spotted dog away and squatted in front of Su Qi and Gu Beiheng. "Girl. I think you look familiar too. Maybe I held you in my arms when you were a child."
"I've lived in this surrounding county for decades. I've visited every village here. I'm sure I've seen you before." The white-bearded old man said nonsense seriously, "I can't be wrong. I have a photographic memory."
Gu Beiheng gave him a cold look and said, "My wife grew up in the capital."
This is embarrassing.
The old man with white beard raised his beard and stretched out his hand to straighten it.
"I've also been to the capital of Dai Viet. The roasted lamb there was especially delicious."
Gu Beiheng snorted coldly, staring at him with a pair of cold eyes. "We are from Dashun."
"Actually, I'm from Dashun Capital, too." The white-bearded old man opened his mouth, then shrugged and looked at Su Qi and Gu Beiheng. "I just smelled the delicious food you were eating. I haven't eaten in two days and I'm almost starving."
Su Qi looked at the white-bearded old man with amusement.
He is really greedy, as greedy as the old monster.
"I still have some here. Go pick up some firewood for me." Su Qi said to the white-bearded old man with a smile.
The old man with white beard had prepared a lot of words, but he hadn't even started to show off his thick-skinned and shameless nature yet.
Unexpectedly, Su Qi agreed.
For a moment, he was a little confused.
"Is that all?"
Su Qi asked back:
"Are you afraid I'll poison you?"
The old man with white beard laughed heartily. "The thing I'm least afraid of is poison. I'll go collect firewood now." His eyes fell on Gu Beiheng. "Young man, won't you help me carry the firewood?"
Gu Beiheng looked at Su Qi worriedly.
The old man with white beard squinted his eyes and smiled:
"Don't worry. It's very safe here. I've lived here for two months. I know who passes by every day."
His eyes tightened, and Gu Beiheng scolded coldly:
"Who are you?"
The old man with the white beard rolled his eyes helplessly. "I'm an old man, buried up to my neck in dirt. I'm just greedy for food, right? What bad intentions could I have?"
Su Qi felt dazed. If they continued talking, she would think that the old monster had also come through.
Gu Beiheng gave Su Qi a look, telling her to go directly into the space if she had anything to say.
Su Qi nodded slightly in agreement.
Gu Beiheng and the white-bearded old man walked out together.
Su Qi originally only took instant noodles and eggs, but she wanted to test whether the old man was the same as her. "There's no reason. If he was the same as me, he should have recognized me." Su Qi said to herself.
But he still took out the hand-pulled pancake and luncheon meat.
He also took some food and seasonings and put them in the bag in the tent.
When the white-bearded old man and Gu Beiheng came back, the hand-pulled pancakes were already ready.
Su Qi was cracking an egg into the instant noodle pot.
The old man with white beard shook his beard rhythmically and took a deep breath. He wiped his hands on his clothes, ran over, picked up the pancake and took a big bite.
Then close your eyes and chew slowly.
What a delicious delicacy.
“It’s delicious. It’s so delicious.”
The Dalmatian squatted beside his feet, scratching the white-bearded old man's trouser legs with its two paws.
The puppy wants to eat too.
But the old man with white beard just moved in another direction and continued to squat and eat.
Su Qi served him a bowl of instant noodles. The old man with white beard first glanced at the noodles indifferently.
It's a bit shabby and not tasty, right?
I still took it and took a sip of the soup.
Too careless.
This tastes so good.
The old man with white beard finished the noodles very quickly and licked the edge of the bowl.
The Dalmatian barked angrily.
He shrank to Su Qi's feet, closed his eyes and lay there motionless.
Su Qi pretended to search his bag and took out some dog food from his space. He placed it in front of the Dalmatian, and the white-bearded old man grabbed half of it.
"It's easy to cause indigestion. Give me half of it." The old man with white beard threw two into his mouth.
This taste is different, but it tastes good.
The Dalmatian was completely speechless, and he even tried to snatch the food from the dog's mouth.
Su Qi was stunned.
Definitely not an old monster.
There’s no way the old monster is eating dog food with such relish.
"This thing is good as a snack. Do you have any more?" The white-bearded old man raised his eyebrows and asked Su Qi.
Su Qi: ...I mean, is there? Or is there?
this……
"Do you like this?"
"It's perfect for grinding your teeth when you have nothing to do." The old man with the white beard looked outside. "Oh, it seems you are lucky."
