Douluo: Infinite Fusion, Phoenix God Peerless

Chapter 75 Watermelon under the Horse's Hooves
The sun is like fire.

A heat wave swept across the fields.

At the fork in the road, there was a simple little tent made of wood. An old man with a simple appearance, wearing a straw hat and a Hanbu cloth, was enjoying the passing breeze.

The breeze blew the white beard on his cheeks. On his cheeks wrinkled by the years, his eyes, which became clearer with age, were particularly bright.

Watermelons were neatly arranged on the stall in front of him, and the harvest in the melon field behind him was also good, with the green watermelons being round and plump.

The old man squinted his eyes and glanced to the side, a smug smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"How's it going? Isn't it sweet?"

Swish!
A thumbs up indicates high praise.

"Well, old man, your melon is really good. It tastes really good."

The boy's mouth was like a cutting machine with a sharp blade, taking a bite of barbecue and a bite of watermelon, like a starving ghost reincarnated.

The eagle was eaten clean by the young man's sharp claws at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Faced with the praise, the old man raised his chin a little proudly, and was quite pleased.

"I've been busy in these fields all my life. I can tell whether a watermelon grown here is sweet or not just by looking at it."

"If you don't believe me, just ask around for dozens of miles. Everyone knows that the watermelons from my Green family are specifically requested by the nobles in Wanchuan City."

"You must have heard of Baron Myron. Even when he ate this watermelon, he kept praising it."

The young man grinned, "I know, Baron Myron. I took a peek from afar. Hey, the maid he brought with him was really pretty!"

The old man was stunned for a moment, and began to look at him with a completely new look, his straw hat fanning up waves of heat.

"You kid, can't you see that your eyes are so sharp~"

"But you look, well, not bad at all. It will be easy for you to find a good wife in the future. Maybe some noble lady will take a fancy to you."

"It's hard for an ordinary family to feed you with such an appetite. You need to eat rich food."

The Holy Body of Soft Rice?

Facing the old man's caring... and extremely affirmative look, the boy didn't take it to heart at all.

He ate while crunching his food, occasionally responding, fully taking the old man's emotions into consideration and not throwing the conversation away.

In the scorching afternoon air, an exceptionally harmonious scene appeared on the roadside.

An old man and a young boy were chatting with each other from time to time. They looked so enthusiastic and happy that if you didn't know them, you would think they were grandfather and grandson.

It is visible to the naked eye that the two look very different.

The old man looked very ordinary, but the young man was surprisingly handsome.

He was wearing a tattered black outfit with no fancy decorations on it, very plain. He didn't seem to be keen on dressing up, nor did he like it. He just wanted to be simple and comfortable.

But some beauty does not need clothes to set off. The boy looks so handsome, his face is a little dusty, but it reveals a soft and freehand expression like jade, his facial features are as exquisite as landscape paintings, handsome in a static way, and handsome in a natural way.

The snow-white hair was particularly exquisite, with a crystal texture, and the red willow blades were lifted in the breeze...

The young man sat casually on the grass, with a smile on his face, which made him look not depressed or depressed, but rather too enthusiastic and free-spirited, which made him look a little weird.

Looking closely, his pair of colorful pupils revealed a sense of turbulence, as if ice and fire were intertwined.

Yes, the young man was none other than Su Ye who came out of the Sunset Forest.

At this moment, his appearance has completely changed. He looks taller and his well-proportioned body seems to have been tempered a thousand times, thick and surging.

After finishing his training, Su Ye originally planned to go directly to Tiandou City to find Qing'er, but he was so hungry halfway that he hunted some prey, dug a stove in the ground and started roasting it.

I happened to meet an old man selling watermelons at a stall, so I came over.

On the one hand, it is not easy for the elderly to make money in such hot weather, and on the other hand, the taste of pure barbecue is really not very good.

Unexpectedly, the old man mistakenly thought that Su Ye was in trouble.

On the one hand, it was probably the spring water from the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire that burned Su Ye's clothes, which were reinforced with the dark gold terrorclaw bear skin, into a mess and tattered state.

On the other hand, Su Ye came out of the fields baking something, eating and holding peaches and plums (leaving money behind), and was cheerful and cheerful without avoiding people...

It's obvious that this is a habitual offender. Anyone would think he is a naughty kid from some village.

Su Ye did not expose this, just to make the bored old man happy.

"I wonder how the old man is doing?" Looking at the white beard around the old man's face, Su Ye couldn't help but think of the old man.

Old Tom also likes to grow a beard like this, which makes him look very manly.

It has been almost four months since he left Tomorrow Village.

Shaking his head, Su Ye didn't think about it anymore. The old man was in good health, and when he went to the Star Dou Great Forest again, he could go back and take a look.

step-step-

Suddenly, a heavy and rapid sound of horse hooves was heard.

I saw several knights in armor and on horseback riding towards me.

The heavy silver armor fit tightly against the horse, and the collision made a metallic sound, as if two armies were colliding on the battlefield.

The oppression and killing indifference of the tall horses and heavily armored knights are no less than those of ferocious beasts such as tigers and lions.

"Control——"

Several military horses stopped in front of the stall. The soldiers had stern eyes and spears in their hands. The horses' hooves were spinning and the horses' mouths were breathing heavily with "hiss~du~" sounds.

In this hot summer, a heavy cold wind seems to be blowing.

Seeing this scene, the old man's face instantly became nervous, and Su Ye couldn't help but frowned.

"grown ups…"

Swish!
Just as the old man was about to open his mouth, there was a flash of silver light, and a spear pierced through the watermelon and picked it up.

The big man who looked like a squad leader had thick eyebrows and fierce eyes, his face was as white as lead and copper, and the scar at the corner of his eye was slightly ferocious. He did not look like a good person.

Old Green's face tightened and his body began to tremble. He stood there in a daze, not daring to say anything more.

With a snap, the man roughly broke the watermelon in half and took a bite.

It was nice to have a melon to quench one's thirst in the hot weather, especially since they were wearing thick armor. They were already sweating profusely. The strong man laughed wildly and said:

“Try them all!”

“This melon tastes good!”

The other soldiers immediately took action and imitated the strong man to thrust their spears down.

The stalls could not bear the weight of the chaos of spears and horse hooves and were destroyed and demolished.

Many watermelons fell to the ground, and the sweet red flesh and juice were "wasted" and splashed all over the ground.

A cold light flashed in Su Ye's eyes. After looking at the old man, he thought about it and did not rush forward.

Old Green's family has lived here for generations. He can leave safely after teaching others a lesson, but the former cannot.

There is absolutely no need to make the elderly uneasy just for the sake of momentary pleasure.

As for killing people and eliminating danger...

Everything is not settled yet, it is far from being like this.

Killing cannot completely solve the problem. These soldiers also have bad friends. There is no guarantee that they will not come to settle the score with the old man because he stood up for him.

After taking a few bites of half a watermelon, he threw it on the ground casually. The strong man then picked up another one with a spear and took a few big bites of it, finally satisfying himself.

The strong man ate and took the watermelon, slapping it in his hands, and snorted contemptuously:

"Old man, the watermelons you grow are pretty good!"

"It's your good fortune to be able to have a taste of it, understand?"

"I understand, I understand..." Old Green, frightened, nodded and said yes, hunched over and smiled:

"Master, if you like, feel free to take it. Just think of it as a gift from me, an old man, to show your filial respect. Is that okay with you?"

"go!"

After giving him a look that said "you're sensible", they rode away on horseback.

The dust raised by the horse's hooves gave the broken watermelon a layer of gray haze.
