Chapter 186: Ghoul Minions
The next day, Wu Renliang took the two ghouls to bid farewell to the villagers and continued in the direction of Qiaoling Town. The two ghouls escaped death thanks to the mercy of Wu Renliang's men, so they never dared to disobey Wu Renliang's words.
One person and two monsters walked forward, Wu Renliang said as he walked: "Yeli, Yeqi, you two listen, when you get to the town, I'm afraid there will be many people pointing fingers at you, you two must remember not to hurt people, otherwise it will be difficult for me to keep you in the world." ”
Yeli and Yeqi said in unison: "I know, master, as long as you order us to go east, we dare not go west, our little lives are in your hands, master, you can rest assured, we will not mess around." ”
Wu Renliang said with satisfaction: "It's good to know, as long as you are obedient and do your best for me." Sooner or later, I'll set you both free. ”
Yeli and Yeqi said with joy on their faces: "Yes, master, we will do our best to do things for our master." ”
Wu Renliang said: "Very good, then let's go quickly, I hope to get to Qiaoling Town before dark." He walked briskly forward. In the blink of an eye, Wu Renliang was hungry and thirsty after a long day's journey, he pointed to a forest not far away and said, "Let's go into the forest to rest, and eat some dry food by the way." As he spoke, he led the two monsters towards the forest.
Wu Renliang found a place to sit down, Yeli and Yeqi quickly handed him the dry food in the baggage, Wu Renliang smiled: "You two are quite good, this waiter's work is quite clear." ”
Yeli and Yeqi grinned: "Thank you for the master's compliment, we have done this work in the barracks before, and we still have this ability." ”
Wu Renliang said while nibbling on the dry food in his hand: "Don't just watch me eat, you two can eat it yourself, there is a lot of dry food." ”
Yeli and Yeqi frowned and said, "I can't get used to eating these things, master, you better keep them for yourself." ”
Wu Renliang said: "Why are you still picking, you don't think these things are delicious?"
Yeli and Yeqi hurriedly said: "No, no, master, you misunderstood, it's just that we ghouls have always eaten animal corpses, and we have never eaten this kind of dry food." ”
Wu Renliang pondered for a moment and said: "What you said is that I think you have to try more in everything, you have never eaten this kind of dry food does not mean that you can't eat it, besides, where to find animal carcasses to eat now, in my opinion, you two should taste the taste of this dry food, I am afraid that I will have to eat this thing often in the future, otherwise I will only be hungry." ”
Yeli and Yeqi looked at each other a few times and hesitated, Yeli said: "Yeqi, the master asks us to eat, we have to eat, don't mother-in-law, hurry up and eat." As he spoke, he took out a piece of flatbread and handed it to Yazzy.
Yeqi said angrily: "Why do you just let me eat it, but you don't eat it yourself?"
Yeli said: "Why don't you eat it, can't I still lie to you." As he spoke, he picked up a piece of bread and chewed it, and when Yeqi saw that Yeli had eaten it, he ate it himself.
Wu Renliang looked at the two of them chewing the flatbread reluctantly and said with a smile: "You two slowly get used to it, maybe you will fall in love one day." As he spoke, he ate to himself.
Suddenly, there were a few sheep cries faintly in his ears, and Yeli's eyes lit up and said, "Yesie, there are sheep nearby, how about we go and catch a sheep to eat?"
Yeqi said: "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up, this big cake is really tasteless." With that, the two of them were about to rush out of the woods.
Wu Renliang hurriedly broke off and said: "Where are you two going, it seems that I have to talk to you two again, you two listen, no matter how hungry you are from now on, you must not beat the idea of the common people, needless to say, the sheep in this vicinity must be raised by the common people, you two are not allowed to steal food, have you heard clearly?"
Yeli and Yeqi hurriedly nodded and said, "Knowing the master, we both remember it, and this kind of thing will never happen again in the future." As he spoke, he continued to nibble on the flatbread in his hand.
Wu Renliang said with satisfaction: "This is about the same. ”
After resting for a while, the three of them walked out of the forest and continued on their way, and finally arrived at Qiaoling Town before dark. As expected, Wu Renliang led the two ghouls to appear, which immediately caused an uproar among the people in the town, some of the timid and afraid of things avoided one after another, and some of the bold ones pointed fingers and whispered on the side.
Wu Renliang had no choice but to keep explaining: "Don't be afraid, folks, these two ghouls are my servants, and they won't hurt everyone." ”
A strong man jumped out of the crowd of onlookers and said with a face full of anger: "You little brother doesn't know anything, and you got two ghouls to swagger in our town for no reason, what kind of heart do you have, and do you still let the people in the town sleep peacefully at night?"
Wu Renliang said with a smile on his face: "This eldest brother is angry, the younger brother came to your land to inquire about the news of a few senior brothers, these two ghouls around me have been subdued by me, and they will definitely not harm everyone." ”
The strong man was unmoved and said: "Don't talk about it, Lao Tzu doesn't believe your nonsense, these two ghouls can't spend the night in the town anyway, and these ghosts are not welcome in our town." The other onlookers also shouted, "Get out, get out!"
Wu Renliang didn't expect everyone to hate ghouls so much, and seeing that it was useless to talk about it, he had to take Yeli and Yeqi towards the outside of the town. Yeli said: "Master, why don't you stay in the town to inquire about the news, I and Yeqi will go to a cave outside the town to spend the night, and then look for us outside the town when you find out the news." ”
Wu Renliang said: "You two don't want to send me away, and then take the opportunity to escape, right?"
Yeli said: "Where does the master say, although we are not good men, but we also understand the truth of knowing the grace of retribution, we have already decided that you are the master, and the ends of the earth will naturally follow you in the future, as long as you don't drive us away, we will not escape by ourselves." ”
Wu Renliang smiled: "If I am not mistaken, then you two will first find a place to spend the night outside the town, and I will go to you after I inquire about the news." He strode toward the town.
Wu Renliang stepped into an inn in the town, and the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him with a smile when he saw a guest coming to the door: "Guest officer, are you sharpening or staying in the hotel?"
Wu Renliang said: "Stay in the hotel, prepare a good side room for you, and serve some good wine and food." ”
The shopkeeper said: "Okay, guest officer, you wait, the small one will do it immediately." He turned and walked away.
Soon, the shopkeeper prepared a few drinks and dishes, and he said to Wu Renliang: "Guest officer, you use it slowly, if you need anything, just give orders." ”
Wu Renliang said: "Little second brother, I would like to ask you about something, have there been a few human masters in your town who have gone to the plague land to clear out the ghouls?"
The shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "I really haven't heard of this little one, and I don't have this person in the store in my small impression." ”
Wu Renliang was slightly disappointed and said: "There is little brother Lao, there is nothing to ask below." As he spoke, he picked up his chopsticks and began to eat, but the shopkeeper retreated.
The next day, Wu Renliang continued to inquire about Qingfeng and the others in the town, but after asking a few people one after another and still found nothing, he couldn't help muttering in his heart: "Could it be that the previous news was wrong, Qingfeng and they didn't pass through here at all?"
Just as he was walking on the street in a distraught manner, suddenly a beggar about sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in rags and unkempt head, appeared in the alley on the side of the street, he stepped forward to stop Wu Renliang and said, "Hero, are you inquiring about the whereabouts of a group of knights who are cleaning up ghouls?"
Wu Renliang was overjoyed and said, "Exactly, little brother, do you know where they are now?"
The little beggar touched his shriveled stomach and said, "I know, I know, but I haven't eaten a grain of rice since morning, can you let me fill my stomach first and then tell you." ”
Wu Renliang: "This thing is easy to do, I'll take you to a full meal." As he spoke, he picked up the little beggar and walked towards a restaurant.
The little beggar ordered a table full of wine and food and began to eat and drink, seeing him gobbling up, Wu Renliang said: "You eat slowly, and no one will rob you, by the way, I haven't asked you for your name?"
The beggar stuffed his mouth full of wine and meat and said: "Hero, my little parents died early, and the people in the town call me Little Beggar, I haven't smelled the smell of meat for more than a month, don't talk to me first, let me have a good meal?"
Wu Renliang said: "Okay, you can eat, I won't speak." He said that he did not say a word.
The little beggar swept away a table of wine and food, and he burped and said: "Happy, it's the first time I've eaten so happily since I was born in my mother's womb, thank you hero." ”
Wu Renliang said: "This meal is not for nothing, and you haven't replied to what you promised me?"
The little beggar tilted his head and said, "Hero, what did I promise you?"
Wu Renliang's face turned cold and said: "Isn't it tricky with me, believe it or not, I will split you in half with one palm." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and was bound to fight.
The little beggar hurriedly begged for mercy: "The hero spares his life, the hero spares his life, the little one was a little fluttering by this meal of wine and food just now, and forgot the important things of the hero, and the little one now remembers that you want to inquire about the news of those chivalrous knights who have eliminated ghouls." ”
Wu Renliang put his hand down and said, "It's a matter of remembering, so hurry up, do you know where they went?"
The little beggar said: "Hero, can you do me another favor, if you do me this favor, I can not only tell you where those knights are, but also take you to meet them." ”
Wu Renliang's heart moved: "Little ghost, don't do anything crooked with me, you must know that I can send you to the west with any move of my fingers." ”
The little beggar said with a serious expression: "Hero, even if you give me ten heads, I don't dare to dare to play tricks in front of you, in fact, it doesn't matter if you don't want to help with this favor, after all, you and I are not related, and it is reasonable not to help this favor, I won't blame you." ”
The little beggar's words aroused Wu Renliang's sympathy, he was already a chivalrous person, seeing that the little beggar had no father and mother and was living in a very difficult life, his heart had been moved by most of it. He thought for a moment and said: "Little beggar, you actually call me a hero, I can help with this favor, hurry up and say what is the matter, don't hide your head and tail." ”
The little beggar was overjoyed and said, "Great, hero, I knew you were a good person." It's not difficult for you, but it just takes a bit of effort. Here's the thing, I've been living a lonely life since I was a child, and kids my age in the town don't play with me much. In order to survive, I often sneak into the plague land alone to pick up some of the leftover food eaten by the ghouls, the food of the ghouls is obtained by oppressing the people, so they don't know how to cherish it at all, so I often have good harvests, and because of this, I am still familiar with the situation in the plague lands.
The year before last, there was a boy of my age in the town, his parents and siblings were captured as slaves by the ghouls, he escaped and went to the town to join his uncle, but his uncle was not kind to him, often beat and scolded him and did not give him anything to eat, we quickly became good friends, since we met him, we often went together to steal some food in the plague land to satisfy hunger. I've always wanted to help him rescue his family one day, and yesterday I saw that Daxia can actually make two ghouls listen to your errands, and I think this wish can come true, Daxia, you can help. As he spoke, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Wu Renliang hurriedly helped him up and said: "Little beggar, I didn't expect that such a bitter child as you still has a kind heart to help others, don't worry, I can help with this favor, you quickly lead me to find your good buddy." ”
The little beggar said happily: "Great, hero, if my buddy knows the good news, he may be happy, hero, come with me, I will lead you now." As he spoke, he walked out of the restaurant with Wu Renliang.
