Chapter 314
Holding instant noodle biscuits, Ye Tian went out, knocked on Old Liu’s door; there was no one, it seemed he had gone out, the yard door was open. The couple living in the east room were nasty people; Ye Tian didn’t like the look of them, too lazy to bother them. At this moment, a little boy, about ten years old, came out from the west room, holding a basin and stepped outside, "Whoosh!" A basin of hot water poured onto the ground, immediately melting a large patch of snow. The hot water rose into the air, its steam billowing and blurring.
The little fellow looked well-behaved, and Ye Tian walked over, "Little friend, is your adult at home?"
The child glanced at him, didn’t say a word, and then, with a throw of the basin, dashed lightning-fast into the house. Shortly after, a man wearing an apron and holding a spoon came out, with a side-parting, eyes rimmed with brown circles, his back slightly hunched, a clean-looking person who seemed like an intellectual, "Who are you looking for?"
Seeing the child hiding behind this man, Ye Tian figured they were father and son.
Ye Tian smiled and shook the instant noodles in his hand, "Bro, I’m new here. Could I borrow some hot water?"
So he wanted to borrow hot water. The man with eyes was quite generous, "Oh, you’re new; no wonder. Come in, we have enough hot water."
...
"Need more?"
