C223 (1/2)

In the dark night, there were two rays of light.

Another faint yellow light approached the white light at a fast speed. The 'boy, wait a minute' sound that came from him was exceptionally clear in the silent night.

”Lad, I don't know when you'll get downtown like this. ”Why don't you stay in my shitty house for the night and wait until tomorrow when I go to the city to sell watermelons. I'll take you there. What do you think?”

The old man's anger had yet to be resolved when he said this! I almost cried because I didn't expect that the old man, who had been extremely cautious of me just a moment ago, would come so far to help me at such a helpless moment.

”Don't worry, I won't charge you for your accommodation and car fare, and I can even give you watermelon to eat.”

Seeing that I didn't say anything, the old man mistakenly thought that he was trying to extort my possessions, and hurriedly explained.

I shook my head and replied, ”No, Old Master, you misunderstood. Even if you really did accept the money, it should be done. I really want to thank you for taking me in. Don't worry, I'll definitely reward you handsomely.”

”Young man, if you say that, don't blame me for not admitting it.” This old man's sudden outburst of temper left me completely dumbfounded. ”If my old man says he doesn't want money, then he doesn't want money. If you want money, then you can leave!”

With that, the stubborn old man shook off my hand and walked back on the road.

”Old Master, I was wrong, I made a mistake. Please forgive me for my mistake.”

I can't let such a good opportunity slip away from me. I hurriedly ran forward to support stubborn old man with my arms, and sincerely apologised.

”It's good that you know your wrongs. Let's go!”

In fact, stubborn old man didn't really argue with me, he forgave me right after I apologized and led me back to the crooked wooden house.

In the darkness of the night, the dim yellow light outside the crooked little tree was like a beacon to a passerby lost in the darkness, so it was right to walk in its direction.

When he arrived in front of the small hut once again, stubborn old man didn't hold a steel fork in his hand. Instead, he opened the door himself and used the flashlight to guide me, inviting me in.

The room was as small as one could imagine, with a small wooden double bed, a single table, and a large wooden chest that took up a fifth of the room.

There was a picture of a woman on the cabinet. In front of the photo was a small censer filled with ashes. From the looks of it, this memorial tablet was being worshipped every day.

”This is my wife. She's been gone for several years.”

One could tell from the look on the photo that stubborn old man loved his wife a lot. He was an infatuated person.

Since the stubborn old man had already been introduced, I naturally could not be rude. I immediately made three bows to show my respect.

”This place is small, please don't mind it.” stubborn old man said while laughing.

”I don't mind you, I don't mind you. If you can give me a place where I can protect myself from the wind and rain, that would already be great. How could I dare to mind you?”

”This bed is a bit small, you can sleep! I've been asleep for a few hours, I'm ready. ”

What I didn't expect was that this stubborn old man would actually give the bed to me to ask me.

I hastily delayed, ”No way, no way. You sleep. I'll just stay here for one night.”

Wasn't it a bit too much to enter someone else's room and take their bed?

stubborn old man is very stubborn, you want me to sleep? I was very formal and insisted on not sleeping.
