Chapter 10 Old Man Lin
Xingping Town, Anjia Pharmacy.
Today, Old Man Lin deliberately found a pair of his best clothes and put them on. Although they were still a bit tattered, they were still enough to look at. Old Man Lin tried his best to suppress his coughing and walked into the drug store with small steps.
Compared with the last time he came here, the drug store was much deserted, and there was no sign of Brother An. There was only a young clerk yawning at the front desk. It seemed that no customers had come to the door for a long time.
Old man Lin walked up to the young waiter and said with an apologetic smile: "Brother, there is something I want to ask you about -"
The waiter glanced at Old Lin's clothes and suddenly looked impatient: "Get out, we are not a place to beg for food!"
Old man Lin continued to smile apologetically: "I just want to ask about one thing. After I finish asking, I will leave -"
"You didn't hear me telling you to get out, didn't you? You have to let me use a stick to blast you out, right?"
Old man Lin said anxiously: "Just let me finish. Our Lin Ye hasn't been back for two days. I -"
The waiter pushed Old Lin away with one hand and said angrily: "You are so shameless! Your Lin Ye has nothing to do with me. Being the son of a beggar like you has been unlucky for eight lifetimes. He was killed just in time to be reborn!"
Ergouzi, come here and kick this beggar out!"
"Here we come! Brother Gao!" The young man who was called Ergouzi ran out of the inner hall with a wooden stick. Without saying a word, he picked up the stick and called to Old Man Lin: "Stinky beggar, this
Is this a place where you can stay?"
Old Man Lin held on to Er Gouzi's trouser leg tightly and refused to let go. He gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't tell me, I won't let you go. I'll just stay here!!"
"I'll beat you to death, you damn old thing! Beat you to death, you son of a bitch!!"
The wooden stick hit Old Man Lin hard, and even Er Gouzi's stick broke Old Man Lin still wouldn't let go. This made Er Gouzi mad: "Shameless old thief, if I don't kill you today,
My surname is not Wang!!"
"Brother Gao, throw that shovel over to me! Watch me kill this old man!"
"Okay, that's it."
The tall guy actually stopped him. Of course, this was not a sign of conscience. It was just that the passers-by outside the door had already stood in a group, whispering and looking at this side.
If he did something like this in his own store, if the shopkeeper found out, he would be punished to death.
"Brother Gao, don't stand in my way, let me kill this old thief!"
"Please calm down first!"
Mr. Gao slowly lowered himself to Old Lin and said softly: "You want to ask the man named Lin Ye who often buys medicine for you?"
At this time, old man Lin had been beaten until the corner of his mouth was bleeding, and his whole body was trembling. When he heard Lin Ye's name, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly asked: "Yes, yes, that's him! He hasn't been home for three days.
, I can’t find him anywhere, this little brother, have you seen him?”
"Of course I've seen it before."
Having said this, Mr. Gao sighed, pointed to a few burly men sitting in front of the stall outside the door and said: "Have you seen those men? They have been squatting in front of our store for half a month. I don't know how to catch them."
How many people bought medicine? That day, after Brother Lin went out to buy medicine, he was stopped by these people and grabbed the medicine. Brother Lin refused to give him life or death, so he was dragged into an alley and beaten to death. Oh, what a man.
It’s miserable.”
Old man Lin's face turned pale, he clutched Gao Gao's clothes tightly, and trembled: "You, don't talk nonsense, this is impossible!"
Mr. Gao threw Old Lin away with one hand and shouted: "How is it impossible! Then why did he not go back for three days if he was not dead! Old man, tell me why!"
Old Lin was trembling all over and could only keep muttering: "Impossible, this is impossible..."
"Huh, I've already answered what you want to ask, old man, how long do you want to keep trying? Don't be so shameless!"
Old man Lin reluctantly got up on crutches, and walked out in a confused manner, toward those burly men. Seeing this, Mr. Gao smiled at the corner of his mouth and said to Wang Ergou: "Haha, I want something good."
After watching the show, let them go dog-eat-dog and see who kills the other!"
Wang Ergou asked curiously: "Brother Gao, was that Lin Ye really beaten to death by them?"
"I just lied to him. Who knows where that kid has died! Anyway, I answered him. If he believes it, he is stupid. It has nothing to do with me."
At this time, Old Man Lin had already walked tremblingly in front of those burly men. He looked at Old Man Lin with cold eyes. A strong man said indifferently: "What's the matter?"
Old man Lin said in a trembling voice: "My Lin Ye...Lin Ye, was he beaten to death by you?"
The strong man frowned and shouted directly: "Get out!!"
"Give me back my Lin Ye!!" Old man Lin didn't know where he got the strength, he waved his cane and hit him, but then he felt a black shadow flash before his eyes, and he flew backwards, paralyzing in the distance.
It stopped moving under the corner of the wall.
Seeing this scene, Mr. Gao let out a sigh, turned around and returned to the drugstore without interest. The pedestrians on the roadside gradually dispersed, and no one paid attention to the old beggar on the roadside.
There was a constant flow of people, and the sound of hawkers and noises filled my ears. It was not until the sunset that the crowds in the market slowly dispersed. Old man Lin finally woke up from his coma, coughed out three mouthfuls of blood, and managed to hold himself up.
When I came to take a look, I found that Anjia Pharmacy was closed, and the tough men on the roadside didn't know where they were going.
Old man Lin's eyes were full of despair. He looked at the ridiculed street market. The sky was so vast that he didn't know where to go for a moment.
"Lin Ye...Lin Ye..."
Old Man Lin walked in the market in a daze, his lonely back dragging for an extremely long time. He did not know the end point or the way back. The sky gradually became dark, and before he knew it, Old Man Lin had already walked back to the door of his home.
At this time, there were six or seven figures standing in front of his house. The lights were brightly lit in the courtyard, and some faint sounds of smashing could be heard. Old man Lin was shocked and confused. What did these people do and why were they surrounding his house?
?
Old Lin instinctively wanted to leave, but he quickly stopped and fell silent.
Even Lin Ye is gone, what's the point of him living?
Old Man Lin smiled miserably and murmured: "Come on, come on, now I have nothing to be afraid of!"
Old Man Lin propped himself up and walked towards the door of his home, but after taking a few steps, a jade hand suddenly grabbed his arm and dragged him into the alley next to him.
Old man Lin looked at the figure who was arresting him in surprise. It turned out to be a very beautiful young woman wearing Taoist robes. It would be great if she could become his Lin Ye's wife.
"Girl, who are you?"
The Taoist-robed woman looked at Old Man Lin up and down, and said in a cold voice: "Is that your home over there?"
"Yes, yes."
The woman in the Taoist robe tightly grasped the sword at her waist with her right hand, and seemed to be suppressing her anger and said: "Then Lin Ye also lives there, who are you Lin Ye!"
"I, I am Lin Ye's adoptive father, girl, what on earth happened?"
