403: Chapter 403: Rice Bucket (Part One) 31_No.1 403: Chapter 403: Rice Bucket (Part One) 31_No.1 But the old man was still ogling everyoneâs bowl of noodles, swallowing his saliva from time to time, that greedy look made it difficult to look straight at him.
âYouâŠâ Yang Ruxin felt that what she brought back was not an old man at all, but a rice bucket.
The old man probably felt his behavior was a bit too much and quickly diverted his gaze, touching his stomach, âGirl, it feels like itâs been decades, and I finally had a full mealâŠâ
All of a sudden, Yang Ruxin was at a loss for words, âOld sir, youâre exaggerating a bit too much, arenât you?âŠ
Decades?
You would have starved to death, right?â
The old man just chuckled and didnât continue to say anything.
Yang Ruxin couldnât help but roll her eyes, this old man seemed like he was going to squat here permanently, but she still couldnât help but remind him, âOld man, although itâs the start of autumn, the weather is still very hot.
Arenât you hot wearing two layers of clothing?â
âHeihei, you noticed, huh?â The old man was not only unembarrassed by being found out, but he even seemed happy, âThese clothes areâŠ
picked up.â
Yang Ruxin rolled her eyes again.
If she hadnât discovered that the old man was disguised and filthy, she wouldnât have let him in.
âWhy do you need to disguise yourself?â Zhou Ying couldnât help but ask, âIs someone trying to kill you?
Wonât that implicate us?â
âHow dare someone try to kill me, an old man?â The old man glared the moment he heard it, âI just donât like to be recognized, those people are annoying.â
âOnly bad people need to disguise themselves.â Zhou Ying pouted, âThe bad guys who tried to capture me and my brother used to change clothes and disguise themselvesâŠâ
âThe little girl has been captured before?â The old man suddenly became interested.
Zhou Ying, however, ignored him and clung tightly to Erniâs side, acting as if she thought the old man was a bad person.
Yang Ruxin laughed out loud, teasingly looking at the old man.
The old man, feeling depressed, touched his nose and turned to leave, âIâm going to take a bath and come back.â He felt like he looked like a bad person.
âBig sister, he really is a strange old man.â Erni watched the old man leave and looked at Yang Ruxin, âHe isnât really a bad person, is he?â
Yang Ruxin smiled, she didnât believe it was a coincidence with this old man.
Despite his filthy disguise, his fingernails were clean, and there was even a faint scent of sandalwood on him, so she deduced that the old man must have come to find her specifically.
But since the other party didnât state his reasons, she did not ask.
Everyone was cleaning up after the meal when the old man came back, and the moment he entered, it was a sight to behold.
His hair and beard, previously grizzled, were now pure white after being cleaned, and he had taken off the dirty outer clothes to reveal a white robe underneath, giving off the impression of an otherworldly being.
âHow about it?
Donât I look handsome?â The old man saw everyone looking at him and immediately felt proud, âLet me tell you, when I was young, I was absolutelyâŠâ
But before he could finish, everyone lowered their heads and went back to their work.
âGirl, did you plant these?â The old man, feeling a bit down, started making small talk and looked at the herbs planted in the yard, pulling at some here and there.
âYep.â Yang Ruxin placed the washed dishes on the table, then took the dishwater out to water the herbs.
At this time, without chemical detergents, it wasnât a problem to use this water for watering plants.
