Don't talk nonsense, this is the Emperor's Banner

Chapter 116 Walking Alone Late at Night
Shen Siyuan caught Doudou who was circling around him.

Doudou was lifted into the air, kicking his short legs wildly, making Xiaoyue and Duoduo giggle.

"What are you afraid of as long as I'm here?" Shen Siyuan said.

Xiaoyue was the first to react and immediately said, "Yes, we can go back to the banner and we won't have to be afraid of anything."

The Banner of Ten Thousand Souls is a very wonderful space. To them, it is a vast new world, but it is a little lonely and not as lively and fun as the reality.

"I don't need it. I have my mother's umbrella."

Duoduo holds up the oil-paper umbrella in her hand, and the cranes on the umbrella are spinning and flying, as if they are about to rise into the sky from the umbrella.

Shen Siyuan was also quite curious about the origin of Duoduo's umbrella.

"Is your umbrella great?" Doudou asked curiously while struggling in Shen Siyuan's hand.

Xiaoyue also looked at Duoduo curiously.

Hearing this, Duoduo said with some pride: "Of course, this umbrella will protect me from wind and rain, as well as thunder. I won't have to be afraid of anything when I hide under the umbrella."

"Let me see...let me see..."

Doudou was like a fish that had been caught ashore, jumping non-stop in Shen Siyuan's hands.

Shen Siyuan was a little amused and reached out to put her down.

As soon as she landed on the ground, she ran towards Duoduo's umbrella.

"Oh, don't push..."

"It's not crowded. It's so big down there..."

"Hey, this is a gift from my mother..."

There was immense pride in Duoduo's words.

"Your mother is so nice. I also have a small umbrella, a pink little rabbit, and two pointy ears..."

……

"gone."

Shen Siyuan called out to Xiaoyue, picked up his shoes, and walked towards the shore.

Xiaoyue hurried to catch up, and the two little guys hiding under the umbrella also hurried to chase after him.

At this time, a loud thunder was heard in the sky, and lightning flashed through the clouds.

"It looks like it's really going to rain."

Shen Siyuan came to the shore, found the footbath, rinsed his feet, and then put on his shoes.

This beach is about seven kilometers away from where Shen Siyuan lives. Shen Siyuan did not ride a bike, but chose to walk here.

So he had to walk back, but he was very fast. It seemed that he took a step forward easily and casually, but his speed was as fast as a galloping horse. Suddenly he moved forward a long distance and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

So much so that the three little guys had to control the cold wind to keep up with him.

"Sweet Potato, are you a little snail? Walk faster."

"Sweet Potato, I'm faster than you. You can't catch me."

"Brother, come on."

"Brother, even the wind can't catch up with you, you are so fast..."

"Brother, we'll be home soon. The rain can't catch up with you..."

……

Doudou and Duoduo, two little short legs, were flying happily in front, chirping as they flew, like two little magpies.

Only Xiaoyue was the calmest and always followed Shen Siyuan.

It was already late at night, and luckily there was no one on the road. Besides, they were ghosts, so ordinary people couldn't see them, otherwise they would be scared to death. However, probably because of the coming of heavy wind and rain, the ghosts that were originally wandering around on the road suddenly cleared away, which made Shen Siyuan's vision clear.

But soon, a thin figure appeared in Shen Siyuan's sight.

"Huh?" Shen Siyuan was also surprised when he saw that person.

Shen Siyuan had amazing eyesight, and the road on both sides was as bright as day, so he could see the person in front of him very clearly.

This is a thin and hunched old man, with his upper body naked, a towel tied around his neck. He lowers his head and pedals the tricycle laboriously up the slope.

He breathed heavily and rhythmically, as if he was shouting a slogan, and seemed to be using every inch of strength in his body.

Shen Si watched from afar, tapped the ground lightly with his toes, and landed behind the tricycle like a light wild goose. He put his hand against the rear of the tricycle and exerted force with his palms.

The heavy tricycle, as if equipped with a turbine engine, rushed up the slope effortlessly.

The old man seemed to understand instantly that someone was pushing him from behind. He had no time to look back and quickly focused on controlling the front of the car.

In just a few breaths, the car climbed to the top of the high slope.

The old man wiped the sweat from his face with the towel around his neck and then turned around.

"Young man, you have great strength. Thanks for your help."

The old man with white hair and a shriveled face smiled at Shen Siyuan.

"You're welcome, sir. It's the middle of the night, why haven't you gone home yet?" Shen Siyuan asked as he looked at the waste in his car pocket.

"At night, the weather is cooler and not as hot as during the day," the old man explained with a smile.

In fact, there is another reason. The seaside is very prosperous at night. There are seafood stalls everywhere that are open all night long. Tourists who have played for a day will choose to go out to eat and drink at night, so there are more and more beverage bottles and beer bottles.

"Where do you live? Do you want me to ride there for you?" Shen Siyuan asked.

"No need, I live not far ahead and can be there soon." The old man pointed ahead.

Shen Siyuan didn't care when he heard that, so he said, "In that case, I'll leave first, you ride slower."

"Got it, thank you young man."

The old man smiled and thanked again, then continued to bend his waist and pedal the tricycle with a puff of force.

He was very thin, almost skin and bones. When he hunched over, his back bulged, making him look even more bony.

"Grandpa is so hard-working, so pitiful..."

Even the silly Doudou couldn't help but feel a little sympathy when he saw this.

"Yes, it is very hard." Shen Siyuan said with emotion.

I kept walking forward, looking at the old man working so hard, and couldn't help but wonder, what is the purpose of life?
Soon, he passed by an overpass and wanted to go under it to the other side of the road.

At this moment, Duoduo, who was flying and circling in front, suddenly said, "There is an old lady."

"Where, where ..."

When Doudou heard this, a gust of cold wind blew and he was full of curiosity.

"Over there..." Duoduo pointed to the shadow under the bridge pier in front.

Shen Siyuan looked in the direction of her finger, and sure enough, he saw an old woman standing in the darkness, looking at them with fear on her face.

To be precise, he should be looking at Doudou with fear.

The flames burning on her head were too conspicuous and too annoying to the "ghosts".

When she noticed Shen Siyuan's gaze, she seemed to be stunned for a moment, then reacted. Her gaze swept over the three little guys and then returned to Shen Siyuan. She hesitated to step forward, looking as if she wanted to say something but stopped.

When Shen Siyuan saw the cardboard boxes and empty bottles piled up behind the old man, he suddenly reacted, looked back and realized that this was the home the old man had just mentioned.
