The bamboo stick rubbed against Xijiu's knee, and a big hole was broken, a section of the black satin of the leggings was exposed, and the whole bamboo stick of the sugar figurine was buried in the soil, leaving only the sugar figurine Broken on the outside.

Uncle looked at Gu Xici's harmless smiling face in horror and shook his head, "Woman, it's not easy for me to keep a stall to make a living, and I dare not kill people in a small business."

Gu Xici smiled embarrassedly, "I was too nervous just now, and I accidentally broke Uncle's sugar figurine."

Xi Jiu moved a little further away from Gu Xici, looked at her warily, then walked around to the other side of Gu Xici, and whispered something in Lin Yunhan's ear.

Lin Yunhan's face darkened.

"What's wrong?" Gu Xici asked.

Lin Yunhan shook her head, "Xici, I'm going to deal with some things, so I can't go with you."

"It's okay, it's the most important thing." There are too many people here, it's really not suitable to talk too much, Gu Xici didn't bother to keep asking, just told Lin Yunhan to be careful.

"Yeah." Lin Yunhan nodded, "You just go back after looking at people, don't hang out too much."

After Lin Yunhan finished speaking, she quickly left with Xijiu. Gu Xici watched her disappear before setting off for Liu Guang's house.

Gu Xici was a step late, and Liu Guang was not at home at that time, so he asked the neighbors around him, saying that he had just gone out to eat with someone, and then asked about the clothes of the person who had the wine with him, seven or eight feet tall, dressed in gray cloth Clothes, Gu Xici guessed that the person was probably Li Dali.

After wandering around in front of Liu Guang's room twice, Gu Xici was unwilling to go back, thought for a while, and then jumped in when no one was around.

The yard looks better when you come in the daytime, but there are indeed a lot of dead branches and leaves on the ground. Liu Guang doesn't have a wife, and he doesn't know how to clean it.

Not knowing if Liu Guang's father was there, Gu Xici put his ear to the door and listened. The room was very quiet, as if there was no one there.

While listening, suddenly there was a "creak" sound from behind. It was the sound of dead leaves and branches being trampled. place to look.

The person who stepped on the broken branch was an old man. He was very thin, even skinny. He seemed to have no flesh and only a piece of skin left. His eyes were swollen, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging. He walked tremblingly like wind. It was about to fall in one stroke, and the most important thing was that a thick rope was tied to his ankle.

The old man walked very slowly, and after a few steps, he held onto a nearby tree to catch his breath—it didn't look like he could eat, drink, prostitute or gamble at all. For him, it seemed that it was useless to breathe.

The rope is a particularly thick hemp rope. When the old man walked, the rope dragged on the ground and pulled up a pile of dead branches and rotten leaves. Looking at the old man's ankle, there was a circle of scabs. It seemed that it was not the first time he was tied like this. .

Grasping the tree and slowing down, the old man continued to walk forward, Gu Xici's gaze followed him, fearing that he would fall and be unable to get up, and it would be no use if she helped him or not.

Fortunately, the old man did not fall.Gu Xici watched him walk to a corner full of dead branches and leaves. He was surprised when he saw the old man bent down and sat down against the dead branches and leaves. He picked up the dead branches and leaves with his hands and piled them on his body.

It was only then that Gu Xici noticed that the old man was wearing very thin clothes. It was already autumn, and he was only wearing a single shirt, which was full of holes.

The old man's lips were cracked, and he sat among a pile of dead branches and leaves, his eyes stared blankly at the front, motionless, his whole body was dark, thin, and tattered, as if he was about to merge with these dead branches and leaves.

Gu Xi's heart was sore, she wanted to rush down crazily, wanted to wrap him in a thick blanket, wanted to untie the rope tied around his ankle, how vulnerable this rope was in her eyes, and if she pulled it, She wanted to feed him some hot porridge or give him some food, but reason pulled her, even if she had food in her hand now, she couldn't jump down.

Even though she hated this feeling of "doing nothing to save her".

When she was studying at the police academy, the teacher told her that "Small intolerance can lead to great chaos" and "A fatal soft-heartedness will ruin big things". She was killed countless times, and her teammates died one by one. Only she finally survived and completed the mission brilliantly. But after the mission was completed, she was not happy, but fell into deep depression.

She committed suicide once but failed. Her mother snatched the knife from her hand and asked her why with tears in her eyes. She couldn't say that it was because she couldn't forget the expectant eyes of her teammates when they died. Walking on eggshells.

Gu Xici still didn't jump down in the end, she crawled on the roof motionless, squinting her eyes to observe the old man's every move.

The old man had not moved, and neither had she.

The door in the yard rang, probably because Liu Guang came back from dinner.Gu Xici slightly moved his eyes there, he came back alone.

The door was locked from the inside again, and Liu Guang got a little drunk, his whole face turned red.

His timid face changed a little, his head was raised, and his body was a little swaying as he walked inside.

Hearing the sound, the old man's eyes moved, he pushed away the leaves with trembling hands, stood up while leaning on the wall, and walked towards Liu Guang.
