Chapter 574 The mysterious old man

In terms of the current situation, even if the two of them wanted to reject the old man's reluctant kindness, they could not find a way to go down the mountain, so they could only stay with shamelessness.

The moonlight is getting darker and the wind outside the window is getting louder and louder.

After all, there are cemeteries around this, mixed with the sounds of birds and beasts. Lin Feng sat on a wooden chair, leaning against the wall with his hands on his chest, but he couldn't sleep no matter how hard he was.

"If I feel cold, I will make a fire!" The old man who was also lying on the bed, who was also tossing and turning, heard Lin Feng's slight sigh. He slowly got up, turned on the light and started to work hard to make a fire.

The old man went outside the door to pick up some branches and leaves, and soon a pot of hot charcoal fire was brought into the house by the old man, and the narrow space became much warmer in an instant.

"Please give me some trouble." Lin Feng nodded and thanked.

The old man sat next to the wooden table, lit the pipe, and smoked the cigarette quietly.

"It seems that you have been living in this mountain for a long time." Lin Feng tried to talk to the old man.

No. 1 next to him has fallen asleep.

The old man glanced at Lin Feng, "You guys talk so much!"

"It's a long night, isn't it boring for you to live alone? I finally came to have someone to talk to you. Isn't that good?" Lin Feng shrugged helplessly and muttered in a low voice.

"I have lived in this cemetery for decades, so how can I say boredom? But you two guys suddenly broke into this place, which made me feel a little uncomfortable." The old man was straightforward and spoke in a straightforward manner.

Lin Feng scratched his head awkwardly, thinking that this was really an old-fashioned person.

"Oh, if I had known that when I left today, I would have asked the old lady to guide us, so that I would not have driven the car here..." Lin Feng muttered helplessly, and continued to put his hands on his chest, ready to close his eyes and go to bed.

But Lin Feng's words suddenly attracted the old man's attention.

"What old lady?" The old man frowned and stared at Lin Feng straight.

Lin Feng felt a little chilled when he was staring at the old man's deep eyes. He was a little stunned, and then frankly said: "We met an old lady in Qianshui Town today! It was because she invited us to stay for dinner, so we didn't leave until dark, so we got lost!"

However, Lin Feng did not mean to blame the old lady in his tone, after all, the old lady was also enthusiastic.

"Qianshui Town...Qianshui Town..." After hearing these three words, the old man suddenly became very lonely, and he kept muttering these three words in a low voice.

Intuition tells Lin Feng that the old man and Qianshui Town also seem to have some connection.

"Old man, do you have any contact with Qianshui Town?" Lin Feng asked carefully.

"The cemetery outside is buried by the people who died in Qianshui Town back then!" the old man said lonely and looked up at the window.

With a try-out mentality, Lin Feng took out a photo of the pocket watch from his pocket, "Old man, do you know this pocket watch?"

Since Fan Ya gave the news that the pocket watch is in Qianshui Town, the people in the town should know more or less about this pocket watch.

When he heard the word "Pocket Watch", the old man's expression was obviously a little unnatural. When he took the photo and saw the appearance of the pocket watch, his face looked even more ugly.

His gloomy eyes were filled with tears, and his hands holding the photo also trembled unconsciously.

The ups and downs of the old man's emotions obviously made Lin Feng realize that this pocket watch must have some connection with the old man.

"Old man, don't be too excited!" Lin Feng lowered his voice and said carefully.

After taking the photo and looking at it carefully, the old man raised his head and looked at Lin Feng with complex eyes, "Where did you come from this photo?"

"I was entrusted by a friend to come here to find this pocket watch." Lin Feng admitted frankly.

"What friend?" the old man frowned slightly, as if he was looking forward to it.

But this matter is related to Fan Ya's safety, and Lin Feng is not convenient to reveal Fan Ya's name.

The old man saw Lin Feng's hesitation, sighed lightly, and slowly stood up, staggered away in front of a wooden cabinet, took out a key from his pocket, carefully opened the door of the wooden cabinet, and took out a small black wooden box from it.

He held the small wooden box in both hands and wiped away the dust on the surface of the wooden box like a treasure. He came to Lin Feng and sat down, put the wooden box on the table, and said, "The pocket watch in the photo is in this wooden box!"

"Really?" Lin Feng was a little excited.

But the old man's expression became extremely serious the next second, "I probably guessed what your purpose was for coming here! However, this pocket watch is a token of the Ordos family. If you don't indicate your identity, I will not give this appearance to you easily."

"Old man, let me tell you the truth! It was the former head of the Ordos family who asked me to help him take this pocket watch back. He is now framed by a traitor and is being chased everywhere. Only when he gets the pocket watch and is known as a token, can he organize the old subordinates of the Ordos family and return to his position!"

Lin Feng sincerely told the old man all this, because Lin Feng knew that this pocket watch was very important to Fan Ya, so he had to take the risk.

"You mean Fan Ya is in danger?" Lin Feng's words made the old man's brows tighter, and several worries appeared in his eyes.

When Lin Feng heard the old man say Fan Ya's name directly, he let go of the old man's lingering fear.

"Yes." Lin Feng nodded.

The old man glanced at Lin Feng meaningfully and fell into deep thought. After a long time, the old man slowly lit the pipe again.

Lin Feng quietly waited for the old man to finish smoking.

"So what do you mean is Fan Ya asked you to come?" The old man finally broke the silence and asked slowly.

"Yes." Lin Feng nodded.

"But why should I believe you?" The old man looked at Lin Feng straight, and at this time, a little bit of hostility was added to the old man's eyes.

Seeing the subtle changes in the old man's mood, Lin Feng felt more and more that this old man was not simple.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and Lin Feng sighed lightly, "To be honest, old man, I also doubt you! Because I am not sure if there is the pocket watch I need in this box, or whether this pocket watch is real, so even if I have evidence to prove my identity, I cannot easily show my trump card to you."

At this moment, the two were talking about business repeatedly, and each kept their own vigilance because they were both suspicious of each other.

Suddenly, a dazzling light refracted from outside through the windows of the wooden house.
