Chapter 7 The Old Man

Among these "sacrifices" sent here, Xia Shouyi set his sights on an old man!

The reason why I chose this old man as a breakthrough is that this old man has a completely different expression from others at this time.

Whether it is a human being cheated or forced to come here, the faces always bring some fear and worry, but this old man is not like this because he is very calm!

This kind of calmness is not pretending to be calm and pretending to be smiling, but a kind of indifference that is truly "let go".

Xia Shouyi had seen an old man like this in his previous life.

Xia Shouyi still vaguely remembers the words of the old man comforting his family before he died:

"Enough! Enough! I have lived enough in my life! Originally, when I was diagnosed with a physical illness, the doctor said that I would not smoke or drink, I should have lived for ten years. But now, I smoked and drank with wine, but I have lived for nearly thirteen years. Thinking about this, I not only lived for nearly three more years, but I have not delayed smoking and drinking. Isn't everything good? What else is there to be insufficiency for me like this?"

When facing life and death, the old man always seemed calm and composed, especially when he lived in his tenth year, he often liked to say something he said:

"Every day I live now is a gift from God. Therefore, even if I suddenly die on one day in the future, there is no need to be too sad, because God has given me the best favor!"

...

...

For some reason, when Xia Shouyi saw the old man who was also tied here, he suddenly thought of the elder he knew in his previous life.

Perhaps, the temperaments between the two are particularly similar.

Moreover, Xia Shouyi was sure that this old man knew nothing about this place!

At least, the slightly remembrance look on this person's face is very telling.

For an old man like this who has already looked down on life and death, Xia Shouyi felt that he should be able to "dig" some valuable "message" from him.

"This old man, I have some questions, boy. I wonder if I can help me solve my doubts?" Xia Shouyi chuckled and spoke, and in an instant, he attracted the eyes of the old man and all the "sacrificial gifts" in the entire cave.

After all, at this time, there are still people who can discuss problems with others so calmly, and it is difficult not to attract attention.

Looking at Xia Shouyi's also somewhat calm face, the old man was slightly surprised.

However, the old man did not think about inquiring about Xia Shouyi's situation. He did not say enough about Xia Shouyi's inquiry, but just chuckled and said that if he knew what he could tell Yu Xia Shouyi, he would definitely tell him.

"I just saw the old man observing the look here, and it seemed that he had a lot of feelings, so I took the liberty to ask, do you... know this very well?" Xia Shouyi was not polite, and immediately asked what he was most interested in.

Xia Shouyi's question made all the "sacrificial gifts" present who did not understand the situation pointed the finger at the old man.

Immediately, someone shouted directly: "Mom, I'm sorry, and said, "What are your conspiracies? Why do you tie us here? I tell you, I'm not a good match. Be careful that I call my brothers and hammer you, the immortal one, to death!"

I saw someone taking the lead, and some people were tricked here without any understanding. Under the invasion of uneasy and worry, their emotions began to become particularly angry.

Therefore, the process of Xia Shouyi's acquisition of information by the old man turned directly into a condemnation meeting for these "sacrificial gifts". For a moment, Xia Shouyi was in a mess and could not find the opportunity to let the old man answer his questions.

Even as time passed, even Xia Shouyi, who asked the old man, became the target of these people's scolding.

Xia Shouyi and the old man smiled bitterly and looked at each other speechlessly.

When all these people were scolding and their voices were smoking, the voice of condemnation finally gradually became smaller.

As the voice of criticism declined, more and more people began to gradually recover from the previous atmosphere of anger, so naturally, these people began to quietly wait for the old man's answer.

The old man did not object to these people's attitudes. For him, he had long been too old to be bound by others' opinions and abuses, and he also thought he should be scolded.

Therefore, the old man did not dislike everyone's various gazes, and began to explain to everyone: "For me, this place is indeed not a strange place. After all, I have lived here for a while."

When everyone heard this, they further confirmed that the old man had a lot to do with the reason why they had come here inexplicably.

However, this time, except for a few people, no one scolded the old man again.

It was not that these people discovered their conscience and suddenly became respectful to the elderly and loved the young, but because after the previous scolding, their throats were so thirsty that they were unwilling to dedicate their spit to the old man anymore.

At the hostile gaze of the crowd, the old man smiled and said, "Don't look at me like this. Apart from me, I believe that among the people present, there should be others who have been here for a while. Therefore, there is no need for you to just stare at me alone!"

Facing the old man's joke, everyone was shocked - could it be that among the people tied up here, is there an old man's "companion"?

However, some people also have doubts in their hearts. If the old man and some people hidden in these "sacrifices" are the culprits of the planning of this incident, why are they now becoming sacrifices like everyone else?

This seems a bit unreasonable!

Of course, some people cannot understand the problems, so there are also those who "know" who can infer some things from the old man's words.

"snort!"

Accompanied by a disdainful sneer, a "knowledgeable" spoke up and mocked the old man:

"Don't say it's so nice. What do you mean by living in this cave for a while? Isn't it to show your loyalty to the demons and monsters living in this cave? In order to survive?"

After hearing this person's words, everyone couldn't help but look at the old man.

Facing the scrutiny of everyone's eyes, the old man smiled helplessly and said, "Just as the man said before, I did pray to it for life."
