Chapter 306: The leaves fall back to their roots

The furnishings in the house are very simple, it looks like a very old wooden table, a black-burning iron kettle stands on a small coal stove, and the walls are blackened with smoke. The light bulbs also have an old man's radio, and modern appliances are barely visible.

　　The grandfather lives here, and the conditions are definitely not very good.

　　"It's okay to secretly find something to eat." Lin Fan didn't even think about it, and directly ruled out this option.

　　Although the current satiety level is only over 30 and he desperately needs food, he feels bad for stealing the food of such a lonely old man.

　　How about begging for food directly from the grandpa?

　　"The old man sat on the bench, carefully weaving the bamboo baskets.

　　You called out 'meow'. After hearing it, the old grandfather put down his reading glasses and looked towards you, his wrinkled forehead gradually stretched out. , the corners of his mouth widened, revealing mutilated teeth.

　　He made a teasing sound and greeted, 'Little Mi, come here!'"

　　[Going to the grandfather's side]

　　"The old grandpa's palms were dry, cracked and rough, covered with calluses, like Like the old bark.

　　He caressed you lightly with his rough palms, looking very happy, and you snorted with enjoyment.

　　The old grandfather took out a dark ball from the drawer . The handkerchief he was wearing was uncovered layer by layer, revealing a wrapped ham sausage. He cut open the package, handed the ham sausage to you, and smiled kindly: 'Little Mi, I'll give it to you.'" The

　　old man's In the drawer, there are scissors, handkerchiefs, candles, matches, medicine bottles and a bunch of other things.

　　Stale ham x1.

　　Lin Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Hey, such a treasured item turned out to be a rotten ham sausage.

　　"

　　"You devoured the ham sausage. Although it has a strange sour taste, it can fill your stomach. (Satisfy degree +30)

　　You feel a little upset. (Health value -5)"

　　After eating, Lin Fan left here to continue exploring.

　　This time, he broke into a resident's house, and there seemed to be a bunch of jerky hanging on the wall.

　　He couldn't do anything, and was waved by the owner . The broom rod was driven out.

　　However, Xiao Hei accidentally caught a mouse next. Originally, Xiao Hei's hunting success rate was not very high, and he rarely encountered mice in winter, so he could only say that he was lucky

　　. When exploring outside, Lin Fan also paid attention to the frequency of his actions. Seeing that the trigger time for the 5th Frostbite buff was about to happen, he returned to the old grandfather's residence and planned to find a corner to keep warm

　　. Greeting]

　　"You called me 'meow', and a smile appeared on the face of the old grandfather who had been through the vicissitudes of life: 'Little Mi, you are here again! '

　　He took out a new ham wrapped in a handkerchief from the drawer and cut open the package: 'Here, this is for you! '"

　　Brand new ham sausage x1.

　　Lin Fan was stunned for a moment: "This..."

　　Let's eat, let's live up to the grandfather's kindness. In the

　　small shabby room, the gray-haired old man continued to work, but there was an extra one next to him. Only Xiao Hei, its arrival has injected a touch of vitality into this place.

　　"The old man squinted his eyes,Carefully weaving the bamboo basket, you squatted at his feet, stared curiously at his large rough hands, weaving thin strips of bamboo into shapes, and your head swayed up and down with the movement of the hands. Seems to

　　think this is very funny, Xiao Hei suddenly jumped into the basket, stuck out a head, tilted his head and looked at the old grandfather.

　　"The old grandfather was amused by your naughty behavior, and the old wrinkled face smiled like a blooming sunflower.

　　For some reason, you also feel happy. After discovering the

　　old man's residence, Lin Fan felt as if he had found a shelter.

　　There are still mice to catch in the slum area, and there are no cats to compete with, so he has nothing to go out to catch mice, and when he needs to warm up, he will I ran back to the old man.

　　It was the old man who fed Xiao Hei ham every once in a while, making Lin Fanwei feel embarrassed: "Hey, it would be nice if I could repay him! "

　　But think about it, Xiao Hei came to accompany the old man, so that he would no longer be alone and lonely, which may be the best way to repay his gratitude. He

　　came to the old man's house again.

　　"The old grandfather gently stroked you with his rough palms, his eyes showed With kindness.

　　Suddenly, he covered his mouth, coughed lightly, took out the medicine from the drawer, poured himself a glass of boiled water in the kettle, and washed it down.

　　The old grandpa looked out the window and sighed, the snow outside was heavier. Lin Fan felt a little uncomfortable: "

　　The old man is sick? " It's not uncommon for the

　　elderly to get sick. After all, when people get old, their body's functions will naturally decline.

　　Especially in winter, old people have cold legs and cough.

　　However, if you live here, you can only take some cheap medicines when you get sick. Qian went to the hospital.

　　Lin Fan wanted to do something, but he felt powerless.

　　After all, Xiao Hei was just a cat.

　　"Hey, I hope this snow will pass soon! "

　　It's the third week of December, and when January is over, spring will come.

　　When Lin Fan returned to the hut again.

　　"You found that, different from the previous bamboo baskets, the old man made a new thing this time. The top of the base is not closed, and the top is arched with a point, like a house. The old man

　　put you in and looked at it. He smiled lovingly."

　　Lin Fan was a little surprised: "Is this going to make a cat litter for me?"

　　After going out to catch mice a few times, he returned to the old man's place.

　　"You went back to the familiar cabin and called out, but didn't hear the familiar answer."

　　Surprised!

　　Lin Fan was a little flustered, didn't the old man call out "Little Mi, you're back" every time he came back?

　　He had a bad premonition.

　　I don't know when to switch bgm, but the sound of the piano is neither rushed nor slow, like fine sand flowing from the fingertips, gone forever, there is a touch of depression and silence.

　　It was like a light raindrop, hitting the leaves, dripping gently along the tip of the leaf, and submerging into the soil.

　　"You smell a gloomy breath. The old man is

　　lying on the bed with his hands on his chest, his expression is quiet and peaceful, and he has passed away.

　　Where he usually works, there is a ready-made cat litter."

　　A popped up Achievement "Falling Leaves Return to Roots", the icon is a yellow leaf falling to the ground.

　　Xiao Hei jumped onto the bed, licking the old man's rough, calloused palm with his tongue.

　　These palms caressed it countless times, and at this time it has become cold.

　　Xiao Hei's eyes also seemed to become moist and crystal clear.

　　Snowflakes fluttered outside the window, and a faint light shone through the window, sprinkled on the grandfather with closed eyes and a peaceful smile, and together with Xiao Hei with moist eyes, it formed a pure picture.

　　"You are so sad, your hoarse cry goes straight to the heart.

　　After calling for a while, he shrank into a ball against the cold body of the old man, and closed his eyes. "

　　"Fuck! Lin Fan 's

　　chest was tight, he scolded bitterly, sniffled, and his eyes became moist.
