Chapter 77 Ice and Fire Turtle Refining_1

Just as Chu Liang was about to speak with Steward Cui, an old man with a slow gait walked into the courtyard.

He wore a brown robe, hunched over severely, had a head full of white hair that was so sparse it was almost absent, giving him an exceedingly aged appearance. His walking was slow, so slow that it induced impatience, yet his steps were steady and strong, unlike an elderly person's shuffle.

Such a beggar-like old man shouldn't ordinarily be seen in the backyard of the Li Family Village, and it was unknown how he had managed to walk in step by step.

Anyone seeing him in the village would probably find it strange, yet strangely enough, there was only a fish in the courtyard.

Liu Xiaoyu looked at the strange old man, blinking her eyes, and asked, "Bald old man, are you here to bring me something to eat?"

"Hehehe…" the old man let out a wizened laugh then lifted his head, "Yes, little girl, I can't go on anymore, can you help me?"
