"Master, are you sure this is the bookstore that Uncle Hong wants us to find?" Qin Xuan looked up at the scene in front of her and said blankly. Even Mu Ming, who had always been very calm, changed his face slightly.
"It shouldn't be wrong, right? Didn't we ask just now? There is only one bookstore called Danxin in this city." Yi Tianxing didn't notice that when he mentioned the word "bookstore", his own voice dropped slightly.
.
"Is this still a bookstore?" Ah Tu, who stood at the end and was the most straightforward, said with a groan. Indeed, the sight in front of them made them wonder if this was a bookstore?
The shop door, covered with moss and smelling of rot, is half-open. Instead of rows of bookshelves and neatly stacked books, what you see is piles of scrap metal. Apart from books, you have nothing here.
You can see it. If it weren't for the words "Danxin Bookstore" crookedly written on a wooden sign above their heads, Yi Tianxing and the others would not have believed that this was the place where the person Uncle Hong wanted them to find lived.
"Now that you've come, let's make peace with it!" Yi Tianxing took a deep breath, "You've come here, whether it's here or not, let's go in and take a look! The old man shouldn't be confused about this kind of thing!"
"Master, are you sure?" Qin Xuan still looked ahead with some difficulty. For a girl who naturally loves to be clean, this is indeed a bit difficult for Qin Xuan.
"Xuan'er, why don't you wait for us outside, and we can go in and take a look first. If you are convinced, come in again!" Mu Ming said to Qin Xuan lovingly.
"No, I'd better go in with you! I believe Uncle Hong won't lie to us!" Qin Xuan took a deep breath and took the lead to walk inside, while Mu Ming followed closely with a smile on his face.
Behind Qin Xuan, Yi Tianxing and A Tu followed closely behind.
"Is there anyone there?" Qin Xuan shouted loudly to the dimly lit room. The appearance of the room was even worse than the outside. There were rags everywhere, and there were many potholes, and there was a lot of water, and there was a smell of mist.
A weird smell of rotting wood.
"Who is it? It's rare that someone walks into my bookstore today, hehe~~~~" Just after Qin Xuan finished her words, an old but weird voice sounded out. A rickety voice.
The naked old body slowly climbed out from the pile of rags like a hill. In the dim room, Qin Xuan could vaguely make out an old man who looked like he was about to die.
"Old man, is this the Danxin Bookstore?" Qin Xuan asked politely to such an old man.
"Hey, I didn't expect you to be a cute little girl! Of course this is the Danxin Bookstore. Didn't you see the sign hanging outside?" With the help of the sunlight leaking from the roof, the four of them finally saw clearly what was in front of them.
He looked like an old man. The old man looked only two-thirds of Ah Tu's height. His triangular eyes were covered with a thick layer of white nebula, and his teeth were covered with waxy plaque. Although it was still early autumn, his body was full of...
He was already wearing a cotton-padded jacket, and it was obviously too big. The cotton inside had already popped out. He was wearing a pair of trousers with countless holes on his lower body, and a pair of big slippers on his feet.
, holding a yellowed book upside down in his hand.
"Old man, do you know Uncle Hong?" Listening to the old man's teasing tone, Qin Xuan asked in a low voice.
"Uncle Hong, um, let me think about it. The old man remembered that there was a stall selling sweet potatoes at the exit. They seemed to be quite cheap! It's a pity that the old man has no money, otherwise he would have wanted to try them!" He touched the sweet potatoes that seemed to stick together.
Snow white beard, the old man said to himself.
"Grandpa, it's not sweet potato. We are asking you if you know an uncle named Hong?" A Tu added after hearing this.
"Pfft" However, at this moment, Yi Tianxing, who had been standing aside since entering the door, suddenly turned red, spat out a mouthful of blood, and tilted his body, as if he was about to fall. If Mu Ming hadn't been quick, he might have
About to fall to the ground.
"Master, second brother." Seeing Yi Tianxing's pale face, Qin Xuan and Atu who were accompanying them shouted in shock, but Mu Ming didn't say anything and just raised his hands
After leaning against Yi Tianxing's back, a rich turquoise light shone from his body, and at the same time, a strong fragrance of vegetation instantly eroded the rotten smell here, and there were actually little bits of green grass coming out of the mottled walls.
"Hey, the little baby these days is really weak. He can still vomit blood even if he has nothing to do!" When everyone was surrounding Yi Tianxing, the old man said in a strange tone.
"You••" Ah Tu, who had the best temper, glared, and the huge iron sword on his back instantly hit the ground, "Mom said you can't bully the elderly, but what you said, grandpa, doesn't matter.
unacceptable!"
Along the way, Ah Tu has truly integrated into this small group. Although Qin Xuan talks about him all day long, she will definitely give him something delicious as soon as possible. Yi Tianxing will fight with him and teach him.
He has many things. Mu Ming always looks at him with a gentle smile. When he is injured, he will always heal himself as soon as possible. He doesn't know what a friend is, but he knows that he likes this feeling very much. If someone
If he wants to hurt Yi Tianxing and the others, he will definitely fight against them!
"Stop, Ah Tu!" Just as Ah Tu stared at the old man, Yi Tianxing stood up with the help of Mu Ming, "It's okay, Brother Ming, don't worry!"
"Junior Yi Tianxing, thank you for your mercy, senior. Please forgive me for offending me just now!" Breaking free from Mu Ming's support, Yi Tianxing bowed and saluted the old man.
"It's so weird for you to salute an old man like me, haha, it's really the most ridiculous thing in the world!" The old man laughed, but after just a moment, his smile suddenly froze there, because he
Seeing Yi Tianxing holding an emerald token in his hand, with a scarlet word 'blood' written on it, and with the appearance of this token, a strong and disgusting blood suddenly rose in the air.
