Chapter 279: What Do You Want From This Old Man?
Even after the end of the world, those towns and cities in Xu Xiang’s original world will not be as deserted as this town. In Xu Xiang and Huan Yun’s eyes, this county town looked more like a ghost town. After driving for another twenty minutes, Ying San stopped in front of the county magistrate’s office.
He jumped down from the carriage, pulled out the stairs and said, "Miss Xu, we have arrived."
Mu Yucheng opened the door and stepped out of the carriage. Before he could reach out to help Xu Xiang, she already jumped down from the carriage. Hu Wenfeng looked at Mu Yucheng’s awkward hand and secretly laughed at him.
Standing in front of the county magistrate’s office, Xu Xiang looked at the closed door and asked, "Did we come too late?"
Seeing that there were no guards, she looked around and found an old man selling some kind of soil not far from the county magistrate’s office. Xu Xiang walked up to the old man and said, "Old Grandpa, good afternoon."
The old man looked up and saw a young woman standing calmly in front of him. Looking at her clean clothes and healthy face, the old man knew that she would not come to buy his goods. He nodded to Xu Xiang, then lowered his head to rest.
Xu Xiang observed the old man for a while. Looking at his thin body, she could even see his ribs protruding from under his tattered and dirty clothes. But strangely, the old man had a swollen belly under his clothes.
Xu Xiang thought for a few seconds and asked, "Old Grandpa, what are you selling?"
When the old man heard her asking about his goods, he raised his head and said, "This is Guanyin soil."
