The cold spring is biting, and the morning breeze is especially strong. The bare willow branches are floating weakly in the spring breeze.

Zhao's running figure was like an elf chasing the wind. He ran across a small bridge and passed through a stone path. His figure was light and his footsteps were vigorous. The smart bracelet on his left wrist recorded each data in detail and provided scientific guidance.

While passing by a withered lotus pond, an old man staggered over. Zhao Yi slowed down slightly.

The old man was wearing a dark blue round-collar white cuff dress with a pair of black cloth shoes on his feet; he leaned on a plain bamboo crutch in his right hand, and hung a string of dark 'Buddhist beads' bracelets in his left hand, and his figure was slightly hunched.

The two met with a smile, and Zhao Yi was about to bypass the old man.

But at this moment, a light red font appeared in front of Zhao Yi:

Temporary task: 50 years less struggle!!!

Mission description: Discover the bracelet of Demon Blessings, which contains demon essence, can charge the system space by about 50 points.

Special reminder: You don’t have to run today, and look forward to your performance.

Zhao Yi:...

The task window that has not changed has changed, just because of a bracelet. Haha, I thought you couldn't rub the sand in your eyes, but I didn't expect you to be like this!

Also, Devil's blessing? Why does it sound a little creepy!

Besides, the bracelet doesn’t look cheap either, and the old man is not like the working class. Why should he ask for it?

Zhao Yi kept walking, but a little turbulence in his heart: after traveling through time, I only heard about martial arts, whether in the East or the West.

I don’t want the ‘demon’ to exist. What about the gods?

The two passed by, and the old man suddenly said, "My friend, ask about the road. Is there a 'Jiangnan Pavilion' in the park, how to get there?"

The old man's voice was calm, like the spring rain, suddenly but not abrupt.

Zhao Yi stopped and pointed to the southeast: "Let's walk forward for 30 meters, turn right at the intersection, and then walk south for about 300 meters. You will see the sign of the 'Jiangnan Pavilion'. Follow the arrow direction for about 100 meters and then arrive."

The old man smiled and gently tapped his chin: "Thank you, my friend. I haven't been home for more than 30 years, so the changes have been great."

"Oh, you didn't bring a smart bracelet?"

A trace of sorrow flashed across the old man's face: "Tsk... I'm old, I just want to come out and calm down."

Zhao Yi immediately made up for the scene of family disagreement and fighting for inheritance, and showed a little smirk: "Then be careful on the road. There are several sections of the road that are broken by tree roots."

"Thank you, my friend."

The old man continued to move forward, and the old man staggered.

However, after Zhao Yi's figure disappeared into the tortuous path, the old man suddenly stood up straight, his body straight, like cedar, and he didn't look old at all. He raised his left hand and asked at the 'Buddhist bead': "How?"

If you look closely, this is not a Buddhist bead. It should be the location of the pagoda, but it is a devil's pendant:

Two pairs of blue-black bat wings embrace their sturdy body, with dark patterns on their bodies, and a pair of twisted black sheep horns on their heads, which just form a hanging ring.

The small pendant is exquisite, lifelike, and slightly cartoonish. You can't see the demon's hideousness, but it's a little bit stupid. Nowadays, demons also have to be good at beauty makeup, otherwise it will easily scare believers.

A red light flashed across the eyes of the demon pendant, and a message was directly transmitted into the old man's mind: "The strength of the soul meets the requirements."

The old man showed a strange smile on his face and whispered to himself: "I have been following him for several years, but it really didn't disappoint me!"

As he said that, the old man pressed the top of the crutch with his right thumb. After identifying his fingerprint, a faint fluorescence at the top of the crutch slowly unfolded, and a scroll of about half a meter was formed in a few seconds. The map of Heran Fushan Park displayed on the "Curvey Scroll".

…………

Zhao Yi went around in a big circle and ran to Jiangnan Pavilion in one breath.

Jiangnan Pavilion is a popular check-in destination in Fushan Park, and it is particularly eye-catching in late spring.

The pavilion is located on a small hill, not high, and can barely overlook most of the scenery of Fushan Park. There are couplets on the door post of the pavilion that "The river is red and the river is greener than the fire when it comes to spring", and there is also a white marble sculpture by Bai Juyi in front of the pavilion.

The scenery in early spring is a bit simple, but there are also tender buds, tenaciously revealing thick dead grass; there are also a few small yellow flowers of wild vegetables fluttering in the wind.

Zhao Yi did not stop and walked around Jiangnan Pavilion to continue.

Suddenly, a scream came from the front, followed by the sound of a wooden stick falling, the dull sound of falling, and the painful cry. It was particularly clear in this quiet park.

Zhao Yi ran a few steps, but saw the old man who was hunched over the cold stone road, constantly sucking air conditioner, and falling two meters away. The ground behind the old man was raised, and there was a tree root protruding from the ground in the newly broken bluestone slab.

Hum? The newly broken stone slabs and the newly raised tree roots? Zhao Yi couldn't help but take a look.

Looking at the old man who fell, Zhao Yi hesitated for a moment and turned on the camera function on the bracelet before walking towards the old man. "How is it? Is it serious?"

The old man looked up and smiled bitterly, "Old man... It's okay, just sit for a while."

As he said that, he raised his right hand, but he saw that his palm was a little broken and flushed; his sleeves turned to his elbow, and there was a significant scratch on his forearm, and a little blood beads were oozing out; the knee of his pants on his right leg was worn out, and his clothes were wrinkled.

"Do you need to call 120 or family members?"

"Ha, you don't need to call 120 for this little thing, it's a waste of social resources. Family members' phone calls... I won't bother them anymore, I won't bother them anymore..." The old man said, with a flash of bitterness on his face, "Can you please help me sit next to me for a while?"

There was a wooden bench next to it. Zhao Yi helped the old man walk over slowly, and the old man was sore in pain.

After resting for a while, the old man took a breath and looked at Zhao Yi with a little embarrassed look, saying a little stuttering: "Will that... can you please send me home? Just go to... to the side door of Bihai Huating, where there is a security guard."

Looking at the old man's somewhat begging attitude and looking at the old man's embarrassed look, Zhao Yi hesitated for a while and nodded: "Okay."

Bihai Huating is the villa area north of the park.

Zhao Yi helped the old man up, not expecting that the old man could not use his right leg. Zhao Yi hesitated and squatted down, "I'll carry you back."

"Ah... OK, OK, thank you, thank you, my friend, it's really troublesome."

"Nothing." Zhao Yi showed a bright, pure smile.

The old man lowered his head slightly, avoided Zhao Yi's smile, slowly lay behind Zhao Yi's back, and picked up the crutch with his right hand.

The nearest side door of the villa is about 800 meters away from Jiangnan Pavilion. The two of them chatted without a word and gradually became familiar with each other.

When he was about to reach the side door of the community, the old man said with a little emotion: "Because his surname was Dou, he was nicknamed by his classmates: Adou who could not be helped. In a blink of an eye, it has been more than 50 years, and there are only a handful of classmates who are still in contact with him."

"Now I'm going home, I can contact you more."

"Haha, there will be a class reunion when I first started working. I said it was a bit far away and I must drive there. I didn't go there. I didn't have much contact after that."

Zhao Yi nodded, put the old man down at the door, and was about to leave.

"Little friend, wait." The old man took off the bracelet in his hand and sent it to Zhao Yi. "Little friend, thank you. I didn't bring anything on my body, so I'll give it to you."

"Ah, this... I can't ask..." Looking at the bracelet in front of me of "blessed by the devil", Zhao Yi felt his heart shivered - use this thing to take the initiative to give it to others?

"Hold it." The old man raised his face slightly and stuffed the bracelet into Zhao Yi's hand without saying a word. "This is still a birthday gift from my little grandson. He also said that he was afraid that I would forget, so he engraved my mobile phone number on the bead.

If you don’t have a business card on your body, just use this one. Just a few wooden beads, but they are not worth it.”

Speaking of his little grandson, a faint happiness flashed across the old man's face.

Yes, it's not worth it, but it's deadly!

It is the system that is crazy about the screen, with a light red font that "want, accept, fight for 50 years less" that is surging like the sky falling into the Milky Way, majestic, enriching the entire vision - from the sky to the ground.

Zhao Yi still wants to refuse.

The old man's face became a little serious again: "Everyone said that the elder dared not refuse, why? Am I not old enough?"

Zhao Yi:...

This reason is so powerful. You are old enough, you are always cunning!

Looking at the crazy subtitles, Zhao Yi still chose to believe in the system; of course, there was no lack of greed and curiosity in his heart.

Seeing that Zhao Yi finally accepted it, the old man said sincerely: "Every encounter in this life is a blessing that I have cultivated five hundred years ago. If you encounter any trouble in the future, you may contact me."

Zhao Yi thanked again, and then... ran away quickly; when he left the old man's sight, he couldn't wait to throw the bracelet into the system space, and then he breathed a little relieved.

"6:33, time is OK. Go and see where he fell."

When he came there again, looking at the newly opened soil, the newly broken stone slabs, and the tree roots that seemed to have been pulled out of the ground, Zhao Yi frowned and took photos silently, keeping them.
