Chapter 72 Hope in the Heart

The old man declined several times and didn't need Ye Fan to stay. He said that he would pass by here in the future and make up for this meal.

"Old man, I'm homeless now and have nowhere to go. Just let me stay. I'll help."

"Big brother, you don't have a home?" The little sister-in-law was naive and cute, and the tears on her face had not dried up. She looked up at him, and her tender little face showed a sympathetic look.

In the end, the old man asked Ye Fan to stay and cleaned up a room for him in the backyard, telling him that he could leave at any time.

At night, Ye Fan tossed and turned sleepless. Finally, he got up, quietly came to the roof, and lay here looking up at the sky. At this moment, the clouds have dispersed, the bright moon hangs in the sky, sprinkled with moonlight like thin smoke, and the stars in the sky are shining like diamonds.

The family affection between the old man and the little girl inadvertently touched what he hid in the deepest part of his heart, and his parents' kind face appeared in his heart from time to time.

"How are you..."

Ye Fan looked up at the starry sky, as if to go through the endless star field, reach the other side of the starry sky, and return to his parents' side. Whenever he thinks of his parents, it is difficult for him to calm down. Suddenly, he disappeared unexpectedly. His elderly parents must be very sad.

For parents, losing their only child in old age will be an unbearable pain. Thinking of his parents' sadness, Ye Fan feels upset and can't wait to return to them immediately to calm their hearts and smile.

But it is so far away from the endless star domain, how can I go back? His heart was full of powerlessness, and he could only look up at the starry sky in a daze.

Whenever he thought of his parents' mood at this moment, Ye Fan was very worried. Since he came to this world, he always hid his missing deeply and did not dare to touch and recall it easily. Every time he was touched, it would be difficult to calm down.

"No, I must find a way to go back. I can't let my parents who gave birth to me and raised me wash their face with tears in their old age..." Ye Fan suddenly sat up and said to himself, "There must be a way. I must go back."

In the original ruins, he saw those monks flying away from the sky and saw the power of the five great figures, which made him feel the strength of the monks. Maybe one day when he was strong enough, he could cross the endless stars, return to his hometown and return to his parents.

Seeing the horror of the monk with his own eyes, a hope rose in Ye Fan's heart. He felt that the way home was not completely cut off, and there might be hope.

"I want to become stronger, I want to rush out of the starry sky, I want to go home, no longer let my parents cry, I want to make their old age full of smiles..." Ye Fan's words became more and more firm. He was building confidence for himself and said, "I can do it, I must do it, I want to

Sadness and worry were useless. Ye Fan slowly adjusted his mood and gradually calmed down. Today, he was touched by the family affection between the old man and the little girl, which completely disappeared his last bit of confusion and confusion. He found his goal and direction.

"Kowloon pulls the coffin, crosses the star domain, and comes to this space. They can, and so can I. I want to become strong enough. Sooner or later, I can also cross the void and return to my hometown." Ye Fan's eyes are getting brighter and brighter. He must become stronger. Whether he wants to save Pang Bo or return to his hometown, he needs strong strength as the backing.

Unconsciously, he was a little sleepy and fell asleep in the room. It was not until the morning of the next morning that the old man's voice made him open his eyes.

"Son, why did you get to the house? Be careful not to fall down."

The little girl was sleepy and walked out of the room. Seeing Ye Fan sitting up from the room, she suddenly opened her eyes in surprise and said, "Big brother, what are you doing?"

In the face of the doubts of the old and the young, Ye Fan felt a little embarrassed and said, "It was too hot last night. I came to the room to enjoy the cold and accidentally fell asleep."

After Ye Fan finished washing up, the old man asked him to go to dinner, a small pot of white rice porridge, and a plate of pickles. It was very simple, because their conditions were really limited. The little girl was very sensible. She had already set up the bowls and chopsticks, then filled a bowl of white porridge for Ye Fan, and filled a bowl for her grandfather, but when it came to herself, she only filled a little. Originally, she used a small bowl, but as a result, it was so small that she finished it in a few bite

"Why do you eat so little?" The old man asked her.

Although the little girl was wearing patched clothes, she was as beautiful as a delicate porcelain doll. She patted her stomach and said, "I'm full."

"Nonsense, I only ate a few bites. How can I be full?"

"I'm really full. Last night, I ate the chicken nuggets left by my grandfather and half a steamed bun, and I'm still not hungry. The little girl said, picked up her little bowl and was ready to wash it.

The old man pulled her back, filled her small bowl with white porridge, and said, "Good boy, when you grow up, eat more. Don't worry, we still have food at home."

"I'm not worried. I'm really full. Grandpa, you have to eat more..." The little girl poured a lot of white porridge in her small bowl into the old man's big bowl.

The old man couldn't stop it. He didn't say anything, just sighed.

"Grandpa, will those bad guys come again today?" The little girl's red face showed a trace of fear, and her voice was very immature. She said, "They have robbed our restaurant, and now they are still here to make trouble every day. We can't do business at all. Now we can't even eat. Why don't they let us go?"

"It's okay. Don't worry. As long as grandpa is here, you won't be hungry." The old man touched her head, and then added some white porridge to the little girl's bowl.

Ye Fan said nothing beside him. He finished the simple breakfast silently, but it was difficult for him to calm down.

The old man's surname is Jiang, which is a very old surname. It can be traced back to a lot, but the old man is very ordinary, but he is just one of all sentient beings. Nowadays, life is very difficult. The sensible and beautiful little girl is called Tingting. Her parents died two years ago, leaving her to live with the old man.

Ye Fan didn't say much. After eating in the morning and evening, he said to the old man, "Uncle, I'll go out for a walk."

"You are not familiar with this place. Be careful." The old man told me.

This town is not big or small. It can have more than 1,000 households, close to 5,000 people. At the most prosperous intersection, there are several restaurants, inns, grocery stores, etc., which are mostly concentrated there, and most of the other places are residential areas.

Ye Fan walked around the town, and then walked out of the town. Many fields are next to the town, and then in the distance, there are mountains and forests. Every day, hunters go to the mountains to hunt.

Ye Fan walked into the mountain forest. The more he walked in, the more surprised he became. Standing on a high mountain and looking into the distance, he found that the mountains in the distance were undulating, continuous, foggy, and the primitive old forest seemed to have no end.

"Roar..."

In the depths of the mountain forest, there were bursts of roars. Ye Fan was not worried, but showed joy. The town can indeed make him practice calmly. It is not only peaceful, but also close to the deep mountains. There must be strange beasts and elixirs. These are all things he needs very much.

Ye Fan walked in the mountain for less than half a day, but he didn't go deep. In the future, there was a lot of time. He was not in a hurry. He walked out near noon and found some hunters and some drug hunters on the way.

"It's really not easy for ordinary people to live..." Ye Fan sighed. He found several hunters carrying some prey and carrying a bloody corpse to the town. He must have been killed by large beasts while hunting.

In the distance, several deer were drinking water in the mountain stream. Ye Fan silently circled around, and then threw out a mountain stone in his hand. With a " bang", he smashed a deer into the stream. Then, he hit a deer in the mountain forest and walked back.

On the way, some hunters saw an eleven or twelve-year-old boy dragging a deer and a deer, all of which showed surprise. Ye Fan didn't care. It was inevitable that he would live in this small town for a long time.

Near noon, Ye Fan returned to the town, sold the roe deer to a butcher, and then went to buy some rice noodles and took the roe deer to Uncle Jiang's restaurant.

From afar, I saw a lot of people around there. Tingting's helpless cry came through the crowd. Ye Fan's heart suddenly "clucked" and rushed over quickly.

The old man's gray hair fell apart, and there were a lot of blood stains on his face. He sat weakly on the ground, and his patched clothes were stained with a lot of dust. Xiao Tingting cried sadly, wiped the blood stains on the old man's face with her small sleeves, and cried to a few vicious people in front of her, "You are bad people. You robbed Grandpa's restaurant. Now we have no food to eat, and don't let us go..."

A yellow-faced middle-aged man squatted down, nodded Xiao Tingting's forehead hard, and suddenly let her fall to the ground and said, "What do you know!"

"If something happens to me, don't do this to the child..." Uncle Jiang protected Tingting behind him, wiped the blood stains on his face, and said, "What on earth do you want?"

"We don't want to do anything. When we come here for dinner, you actually said that there is no food. What do you do in a restaurant? In that case, just close the door.

"Bad guys, you come to eat free food every day. How can we have the money to support you..." Xiao Tingting cried behind Uncle Jiang.

Many people in the onlookers couldn't stand it, but they didn't dare to come forward. They had to persuade Uncle Jiang and said, "Mr. Jiang, just close this shop and take your granddaughter to leave here."

"Yes, there are immortals in his family. We mortals can't be provoked. You'd better go quickly."

"Despite leaving home, it's better to leave."

......

"What are you talking about?" The yellow-faced middle-aged man stood up and glanced at the people around him, and those voices suddenly fell silent.

Ye Fan was furious, but he did not take action immediately. There were immortals in the other party's family. He was afraid that in case of a violent collision, he would harm the two ancestors and grandchildren. Of course, he can never let these people go. If he doesn't do it now, it doesn't mean that he can't settle accounts afterwards.

At this time, the yellow-faced middle-aged man and several other people swaggered away, and the onlookers came forward one after another to persuade Uncle Jiang, mixed with Xiao Tingting's sad crying.

It was not until a long time that the people gradually dispersed. Xiao Tingting's eyes turned red and helped the old man stand up and walked towards the small restaurant.

Seeing such a kind old man being bullied so much, and seeing Xiao Tingting crying so sadly with patches, Ye Fan felt angry. He looked at several people who disappeared at the end of the street and clenched his fists.
