Chapter Ninety-Four: Lin XII
The six-hundred-mile Jueyun Ridge where the demon clan lives is not much different from the outside world.
Between the endless mountains, across a stream, over a hill, through a jungle, you will see a large number of villages with a population of about 100 households.
In some of the gentler plains at the foot of the mountain, there are slightly more noisy and lively market towns.
From the clouds, these villages or small towns, although the location of the distribution varies according to the mountain terrain, there is no certain law and uniformity, but it is also prosperous.
It can be seen that for countless years after the troubled times, the reproduction of the demon clan in the indisputable world is much more stable and comfortable than many classic records and Taoist stories.
Even in some special villages, the demon race and the human race live together together, and there is not necessarily any sense of disobedience.
Seeing this, Luo Changfeng was inevitably a little puzzled.
Compared with the chaos of the world outside the Jueyun Ridge, this place can be described as a quiet and peaceful cave. As the ruler of the six-hundred-mile demon clan, the demon emperor and the pair of sons and daughters really had no reason to betray the alliance with the human race in the past.
"Is it just for your own selfish desires?"
……
Early morning.
After Luo Changfeng and Muyun Jiancheng, who were slightly disguised, entered the town, they found a tea shop to rest.
With their current cultivation in the Tribulation Realm, they will naturally not feel tired after a little journey, but they just want to know more about the customs of the demon clan. The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not slack off, if a large-scale battle with the demon race really breaks out in the future, it is better to find a breakthrough in the right medicine.
Seeing that a guest was coming, the proprietress of the tea shop came with a pot of white water in one hand and two bowls in the other. He put the bowl on the table, wiped his wet cheeks, and pretended to be fine.
Luo Changfeng and Muyun Sword City, seeing that the eyes of this rather young tea shop proprietress were slightly red, obviously she had been crying for a short time. Glancing at Muyun Sword City, Luo Changfeng asked, "Shopkeeper, ...... this?"
The man who was busy in the house saw his mother-in-law crying in front of people again, so he was afraid to frighten the guests, so he untied the cloth in front of him and hurriedly stepped forward and glanced at the mother-in-law.
The proprietress who had no intention of doing this tea shop business for a few days simply threw the teapot on the table, turned around and ran into the house, hiding her face and crying.
"Two, I'm really sorry. The man was full of apologies, poured tea for Luo Changfeng and the others, and continued, "This mother-in-law thinks crazy about her child, not because she has a heart, I hope you two don't be surprised." ”
Luo Changfeng glanced at the man, and with his eyesight, he recognized that it was actually a human race, and while he was curious, he stretched out his hand to invite a seat: "If this eldest brother doesn't mind, you can talk to the two of us about what difficulties you encountered." ”
"Alas!"
The man did not suspect Luo Changfeng's identity. After sitting down, he lowered his head, and it took a while to come out of his sadness, "Actually, it's not a big deal. ”
"Some time ago, an adult from the tribe came and put up notices in the villages saying that young men between the ages of fifteen and twenty were recruited to enlist in the army. My cub turned fifteen a few months ago, and when he woke up his bloodline, he was recruited, and then he was never heard from. ”
"Not long ago, it was rumored in the village that someone saw the noble prince and princess leading the newly formed army out of the Jueyun Ridge and have not returned yet. We ordinary people don't know what is happening outside, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and this woman is worried about the child's life, so she cries all day long. ”
Luo Changfeng nodded.
The demon clan that lives in the Peerless Cloud Ridge is no different from the ordinary people in the outside world. Army conscription is still screened from ordinary families.
Either father and son are separated, or husband and wife are separated.
There are the same emotions of reluctance, and there are the same difficult scriptures.
It's just that I never thought that the things that the tea shop couple were worried about had something to do with themselves.
He looked at Muyun Sword City, where he led eight hundred imperial sword disciples to kill the demon tide and flee. I wondered if I knew that the demon soldiers besieging Sword Casting City were all young people who were no more than twenty years old, would this first Sword Pavilion master of the same generation still be able to do it.
Luo Changfeng was thinking about how to comfort him, when someone suddenly called out loudly not far from the street.
Lin San seems to be the name of the shopkeeper of the tea shop.
Seeing that it was the village patriarch calling him, the man hurriedly got up, said a word to the two of them, and then ran towards the head of the village.
The patriarch didn't just change Lin Sanyi, but about a dozen people gathered from all over the town one after another. Then, without knowing what to say, the group followed the patriarch of the town and left.
Luo Changfeng and Muyun Sword City didn't care at first, until those people turned back from the village.
In addition to the older patriarch, the middle-aged men who had been called by name and followed away hurried back with their own people on their backs.
Lin San's complexion was not very good. It's not that he is tired from troving all the way, but that he is carrying his son who is worried about his stomach and has been recruited into the army.
"it, come out. ”
Luo Changfeng and Muyun Sword City got up at the same time.
The proprietress of the tea shop ran out when she heard the sound, and when she saw the son behind Lin San, she couldn't help crying: "What's wrong, what's wrong?"
"Hurt ......" The young man behind Lin San was half asleep.
He was dressed in gauze, wrapped around his waist several times and hung over his shoulders. It may be that Lin San was running all the way, and bright red blood stains appeared on the gauze at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The shopkeeper of the tea shop, Lin San, a man who is nearly forty years old, burst into tears. Thinking that he couldn't show his vulnerability in front of his son, he forcibly said: "The tribe says that the healing is not good, let us ......"
Lin San choked again.
When the demon woman heard that she couldn't be cured, she almost fainted when her eyes were dark, but fortunately, Luo Changfeng reacted very quickly and supported her from behind.
Muyun Sword City walked over and looked at the seriously injured young man behind Lin San.
Sword wounds.
It's still the sword of his disciples under the Sword Pavilion.
Muyun Sword City was silent for a moment and said, "Maybe I have a way. ”
Lin San met the savior who looked at Muyun Sword City who lowered his hat, and said excitedly: "Are you serious?
Muyun Sword City bowed his head and was silent.
Although there is not much contact, Luo Changfeng also knows more or less about a person like Muyun Sword City, and it is a great gift and even a rare opportunity to let go of his identity and be willing to heal this demon clan boy, so he explained: "My friend said that there is a way, so he will definitely not lie about it." Let's settle Ling Lang and his wife first, and then treat them separately. ”
……
The demon boy lay on the bed with a sweaty face, frowning.
The gauze bandaged with the sword wound was completely stained red.
Luo Changfeng and Muyun Sword City stood aside.
Lin San, the shopkeeper of the tea shop who had settled his mother-in-law, came out of the inner room and knelt in front of Luo Changfeng and the two of them with a puff: "If the two of you can really save my child's life, Lin San will repay the great favor even if he is a cow and a horse in the future." ”
Luo Changfeng helped Lin San up: "Brother Lin is serious. I take the liberty of asking a question about Ling Lang's name......"
Lin San wiped away his tears: "Before I met his mother, we were the third and fourth in our respective families. So I named this child Twelve, Lin Twelve. ”
For some reason, Luo Changfeng, who suddenly remembered his naughty apprentice Liu Thirteen, smiled slightly: "Very interesting name." This friend of mine wants to heal the wounds of Twelve, and I also ask Brother Lin to wait a moment outside the house. When the healing is over, he will call the eldest brother in. ”
Lin San hesitated for a moment.
However, looking at Luo Changfeng's sincere face, he still responded. Reluctantly, he walked to the door and gently closed the door.
(PS: I can't help but fantasize about it here, many years later, when Luo Changfeng's generation retired.) It was Liu Thirteen's turn to appear, and then Liu Thirteen met Lin Twelve, and there was a left Lin and right Liu or something, hehe. )
