Chapter 103 The Mysterious Old Man
"What's going on?" Zhang Hairong frowned, staring at the dark clouds in the sky.He was a little uneasy, feeling that the heavy rain seemed unusual.

"Don't ask so many questions now, and get out of the rain quickly!" Li Xiaohu pulled Zhang Hairong over and said, "I know you are worried about me, but now is not the time to talk. It will be too late if it is later."

"What on earth is it?" Zhang Hairong still wanted to ask.But he was interrupted directly by Li Xiaohu: "You go and hide from the rain first, I will tell you later!"

Seeing Li Xiaohu being so determined, Zhang Hairong had no choice but to follow his advice and quickly find a place to hide from the rain.Although he didn't know what happened, he could guess that it must be related to the sudden rainstorm.So he chose to believe in his good brother.

As soon as Zhang Hairong left, Li Xiaohu immediately took out a bottle of wine and drank it.This was not the first time that he had been drunk, but every time this happened it would make him feel indescribable pain.

In the past few years, with the death of both parents, life at home has become increasingly difficult.Li Xiaohu, who originally had a good family background, became an orphan. In order to support his sister, he had to study hard to make money.And in the eyes of his classmates, he is just a child from a poor family.So he studied very hard, hoping to get into college and continue his family's legacy.

However, God seemed to be against him, and accidents always happened every time he made serious efforts.Sometimes he clearly remembers the tasks assigned by the teacher, but he always fails to complete them.Therefore, academic performance declines.Later, he had no choice but to give up.After all, he relies on this craft to make money for his sister's medical treatment.

Today he made another mistake and was scolded by the head teacher.In the end, he was punished by staying in the classroom and writing a letter of apology.Li Xiaohu couldn't stand the gossip in the class, so he sneaked out while the teacher was leaving.

However, who would have thought that as soon as he ran to the campus, he would encounter a thunderstorm, which would lead to the current situation.

Li Xiaohu raised his head and took two gulps of white wine, then slowly moved his eyes to the window.I saw that the curtains had long been blown by the wind, and the glass under the curtains shattered, revealing the dark night sky.There was lightning and thunder in the sky, and the wind howled.

"Boom~~Crack~~"

A blast of thunder pierced the sky, and then a powerful wave of air hit us.Immediately afterwards, big raindrops fell with pitter-patter.The whole world turned silver in an instant.

The rain was so heavy that my vision was very blurry.Li Xiaohu squinted his eyes and looked outside.Suddenly, the light from the top of a tall building in the distance attracted his attention.

"where is that?"

"That should be..." Li Xiaohu suddenly froze, remembering the fire a few days ago. "That should be the direction of the school dormitory, right? Could it be that I am already dead? But why doesn't the body rot? Could it be that I have been dead for several years?" Li Xiaohu's mind was in a mess.

"No matter what, let's go take a look first!" Li Xiaohu stood up and walked towards the window.Because he was wearing slippers and his steps were staggering, he walked awkwardly, like a street gangster.Fortunately, it was dark all around, so no one paid attention to him.Otherwise, you will definitely suffer the contempt of others.

Li Xiaohu climbed out along the window.Then walk along the road and observe.He couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north at all now, so he could only move forward based on his feeling.

Suddenly, he saw colorful lights in the distance, and immediately shouted excitedly: "That must be the direction of the school!" Then, he quickened his pace and ran towards that direction.

Soon, he came to the direction pointed by the light.This is a large school covering an area of ​​more than ten acres.Li Xiaohu stood at the gate and looked around.I found that there wasn't even a window here.Seeing this, he was even more sure that he was dead, otherwise, how could there be no windows in such a remote place.

"Forget it, since you're here, let's go in and take a look. I'm not afraid of ghosts anyway!" Li Xiaohu smiled mockingly, then opened the door and walked straight in.

The interior decoration of the school is relatively simple and simple, with wooden materials matching the walls and ceilings.But it looks a little messy.Li Xiaohu looked around and found that in addition to the teaching building, there was also a library, canteen and playground.

"Alas! It seems that I have been dead for a long time!" Li Xiaohu sighed, then walked to the playground and sat down.Looking at the dusty playground, he secretly blamed himself: "Why didn't I buy a few more sets of clothes? Now I don't even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain. Alas!"

Li Xiaohu sighed, then took out a can of beer from his backpack and drank it slowly.Although the beer didn't taste good, Li Xiaohu still drank it slowly and slowly.Because only under the numbness of alcohol did he feel that he was still alive.Otherwise, he could only stare blankly at the distant sky.

"Young man, why don't you go to the sports meeting?" Suddenly, an old voice sounded in Li Xiaohu's ear.

"Who?!" Li Xiaohu was startled and quickly turned his head to look.He saw an old man with a white beard standing in front of him.This old man has a ruddy complexion and smooth and tender skin.The body is upright and erect, exuding a majestic aura.

"Haha, your name is Li Xiaohu, right?" the old man asked with a smile.

"Who are you? How do you know my name?" Li Xiaohu asked in surprise.

"Haha, you don't need to know who I am. As long as you agree to one condition, I can guarantee your safety." The old man said with a faint smile.

"Oh? Really? Then I thank you first. But, how are you going to help me stay safe?" Li Xiaohu asked doubtfully.He felt that the old man's words seemed a bit exaggerated. He was just an ordinary person. Could it be that he still had extraordinary abilities?

"Come with me, you will know when the time comes." The old man waved to Li Xiaohu, and then walked slowly towards a teaching building in the distance.

"Hey, wait for me!" Li Xiaohu shouted, following closely behind the old man, towards the teaching building.

When he arrived at the teaching building, the old man raised his legs and walked towards the second floor.Li Xiaohu hurriedly followed him up to the second floor.After entering a room on the second floor, the old man suddenly stopped.Then he turned around and said, "Just rest here."

After saying that, he turned and left.Li Xiaohu stood in the center of the room and looked around, and found that the house was not big, about thirty square meters.But it was clean, tidy, and tidied up very neatly.

Li Xiaohu hesitated for a long time, then took off his clothes and pants, lay on the bed and closed his eyes and fell asleep.Maybe it’s because I stayed up late last night to catch up on the manuscript, or maybe it’s because I’m too tired today.So Li Xiaohu fell into a deep sleep as soon as he touched the pillow.He slept until evening before he woke up.At this time, his stomach was growling with hunger. He hurriedly got up from the bed and found the kitchen.When I opened the refrigerator, there was nothing in it.Only one bag of instant noodles was left.So, he grabbed a noodle without ceremony and soaked it.

After eating the noodles, his stomach was full and warm, and he began to look around.

Li Xiaohu's room is not big, only about ten square meters. The room is filled with old furnishings and an old computer.However, this computer is quite well preserved and even has some traces of use.This scene made him sigh with emotion. If it hadn't been for him, this computer would have been broken long ago, right?Li Xiaohu walked to the table and touched the computer.Then lightly pressed the start button.Suddenly, the computer screen lit up.He carefully browsed the information in the computer and found that it was all densely packed with English letters.He glanced at it for a few times and suddenly felt like it was shrouded in clouds and mist.

"What's the use of this thing?" Li Xiaohu muttered depressedly.He tried to search for the secrets in the computer, but to no avail.He had to give up and start studying the computer host.

The mainframe of the computer was a bit complicated, and Li Xiaohu finally disassembled it after a lot of effort.He sat on a chair with the host and studied it for a while, and finally discovered that the host actually had two functions.

One of the features is called online savings card.This card was left to him by a man named 'Black Hawk'.It is said that you only need to enter your account and password to log in, and a lot of information and photos are stored in it.Li Xiaohu couldn't wait to turn on the console.

Ding……

After a soft sound, Li Xiaohu clicked on the savings card.Immediately, a line of metal characters popped up on the savings card.

Ding!
With a soft sound, an interface appeared in front of Li Xiaohu.There were a lot of photos in the interface. Li Xiaohu glanced at them casually and was immediately attracted by a familiar face.That girl turned out to be Sophia!Moreover, there was a boy standing next to her.

This boy looks very handsome, with piercing eyes.He is a full 1.9 meters tall and has a tall and strong build.The two of them held their arms affectionately and approached each other.

"Damn Wang Hao, how dare he snatch my girlfriend?" Li Xiaohu clenched his fists angrily, wanting to tear Wang Hao into pieces.However, he knew that with his current strength, there was no way he could deal with Wang Hao.After all, he is not even an ordinary person now.However, Li Xiaohu thought to himself, there are always strange people and strangers in this world.Maybe he can really find a way to save his mother?Thinking of this, Li Xiaohu took a deep breath.He decided that he must go to school tomorrow.It would be great if you could meet some martial arts masters. Maybe you could learn some martial arts and improve your combat effectiveness.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but show a hint of anticipation.

dong dong dong...

While Li Xiaohu was daydreaming, the knock on the door came again.Li Xiaohu frowned and quickly put on his clothes.When I opened the door and took a look, I found the old man standing outside the door, holding a lunch box in his hand, and said with a smile: "Young man, I saw you eating noodles when I passed by your door just now, so I brought one over. I hope you don’t dislike it!”

Li Xiaohu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the other party was so warm-hearted and actually ran to his home to deliver food.

"Uncle, thank you!" Li Xiaohu smiled honestly and hurriedly took the lunch box from the other party, then closed the door and said, "Wait a moment, I will serve the meal right away."

"Okay, I'm not in a hurry." The old man smiled, turned around and left.

Li Xiaohu took the lunch box and walked into the kitchen.

"Damn, who is this old man? Why does he look familiar to me?" Li Xiaohu muttered, then opened the lunch box.Inside is a portion of fried vegetables with eggs.When Li Xiaohu walked out of the kitchen with the dishes, he found the old man sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper.

"Uncle, please have a meal!" Li Xiaohu put the dishes on the table and said with a smile.He had forgotten what happened just now, but was full of gratitude to this kind old grandfather.He knew that this old man must be a good man.Otherwise, I wouldn’t have made a special trip to deliver lunch to myself.

"Well, it smells so good!" The old man couldn't help but admired as he smelled the aroma wafting from the food.

"Haha, this is a local specialty in the countryside, called green pepper shredded pork. Try it and see if it suits your taste!" Li Xiaohu smiled slightly, then picked up a piece with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it with relish.

"Yes, it's really delicious." The old man said with a smile on his face.

"That's good!" Li Xiaohu grinned and said, "You can use it slowly!" After saying that, he turned and walked towards the bedroom.

"Hey, young man, I think you look like a scholar, right? You are so young, how can you show up in the countryside?" The old man couldn't help shouting when he saw Li Xiaohu walking towards the bedroom.

"Huh? Are you concerned about me?" Li Xiaohu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked at the old man in surprise.

"Of course not. I just think that since you have money to buy a house, your family should also be very wealthy. Why do you come here?" The old man was slightly stunned and said.

"I..." Li Xiaohu shook his head and said, "My parents have passed away a long time ago, and my sister bought this house."

"That's it!" After hearing this, the old man nodded.Although he sympathized with Li Xiaohu's experience, sympathy was sympathy, after all, this was someone else's private matter.Therefore, he could only choose to keep silent.Li Xiaohu didn't want to say more because he was afraid that the old man would ask more questions.

After eating, Li Xiaohu lay down on his bed to rest.He needs to regain his mental strength now.Only in this way can we continue to practice.Therefore, he must recharge his batteries.

Li Xiaohu's luck was pretty good. He was just about to take a rest when his cell phone suddenly rang.

"Hello..." Li Xiaohu lazily took the phone.

"Where are you?" A cold voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I'm in the city." Li Xiaohu replied.

"You'll be back soon!" The voice on the other end of the phone seemed very anxious, and then hung up the phone with a snap.Li Xiaohu was slightly stunned, not understanding what happened.
