Chapter 32: Ironstone City
The two of them ran in the jungle, Lin Feng led the way in front, and Chen Qi followed behind, although the two were safe at this time, the atmosphere was really a little depressing. Chen Qi stared at the surrounding trees most of the time, silently hurrying, and occasionally swept his gaze to Lin Feng, he would hurriedly turn his head away, or lower his head, his face was still a little red.
This is mainly because of something that happened last night. The two originally chatted without a word last night, but when Chen Qi noticed the wound on his shoulder, he saw the bandaging on it.
Chen Qi asked who bandaged her wound, and Lin Feng naturally answered truthfully, in fact, Chen Qi also knew that it must have been bandaged by Lin Feng. Because there were only two of them here, plus a corpse not far away, but it couldn't have been the bandit who bandaged her, right?
But after confirming it from Lin Feng's mouth, Chen Qi's cheeks immediately turned red, and he kept his head down, not looking at Lin Feng, and not saying a word. In the morning, Lin Feng asked her to go, but she just followed silently, without opening her mouth.
This made Lin Feng also very speechless, bandaging a wound, how could he feel that there was a problem. Lin Feng was even wondering if Chen Qi should have made some vows before, and anyone who only looked at her body would either marry him or kill him. Although Chen Qi looks good, with bright eyes and bright teeth, graceful demeanor, graceful and graceful, dignified and virtuous, it seems that it is not a loss to marry her, but the problem is that Lin Feng has no idea about this at the moment.
In Lin Feng's thoughts, they had already arrived at the place where the caravan was attacked yesterday. However, to the surprise of the two, the place was already empty.
"Huh, what about them?" Chen Qi no longer had the heart to think nonsense, and hurriedly looked around.
"Don't worry, they may have left first, let's see if there are any clues around. Lin Feng said with relief.
"Hmm. Chen Qi nodded. She was panicking now, and she was a little overwhelmed.
"Come here, there's a word here. After a little searching, Lin Feng found a line of words next to a rock, with many symbols in the words, which should be ciphers.
Chen Qi hurriedly came over, and after seeing the words on the ground, he finally took a long breath and put his mind at ease.
"Is it a secret message left by your family? What does it say?" Lin Feng asked. For these codes, Lin Feng couldn't understand any of them, so he could only solve them to Chen Qi.
"This is a kind of code for our family, which roughly means that most of them are seriously injured, and this place is often infested with bandits, so it is not advisable to stay for long. They went back to Ironstone City first, so that we could catch up when we saw it. Chen Qi said.
"Well, let's go, maybe catch up with them before we reach Ironstone. ”
"Hmm. ”
The two of them set off again, heading in the direction of Ironstone City, and in the blink of an eye, another two days passed. Although there were many wounded in the caravan and the speed of progress was slow, after all, they set off a day and a night before Lin Feng and them, and Chen Qi was also injured and did not move fast, so even if two days passed, Lin Feng and the others still did not catch up with the large army.
"They must have returned to the family. Chen Qi looked at the Iron and Stone City in the distance and prayed, "You must arrive home safely!"
After two days of long travel, Lin Feng and the others were already about to arrive in Iron and Stone City, originally Lin Feng was not going to enter the city, because he still had to hurry, and the time was in a hurry.
But he couldn't resist Chen Qi's kind invitation, and he heard that Iron Stone City was the elixir center of the Lieyun Kingdom, and there were many families in it that made a living by refining pills, and most of the pills in the Lieyun Kingdom were produced from here, and he also wanted to go in and see this legendary alchemy holy land.
As soon as he entered the city gate, Lin Feng was drowned out by the noisy sounds, it was too lively here, I don't know how many times more lively than Falling Moon City, and there were the shouts of merchants everywhere.
Since Iron Stone City is a holy place for alchemy, the most sold pills are pills, but the ones sold outside are generally low-grade pills, and the really good pills are in the hands of some high-end stores or big families.
These were all told to him by Chen Qi, because the Chen family where she was located was also a big family in Ironstone City. When they arrived in Iron and Stone City, it was naturally Chen Qi who was leading the way, in order to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, Chen Qi first had to take Lin Feng to her house, but what they didn't know was that the Chen family was already in chaos at this time.
"Fourth, are you alright?" an old man walked into a room in one of the Chen family's courtyards and asked a middle-aged man lying on a bed.
The middle-aged man lying on the bed was the one who had returned with the caravan. He is the fourth eldest of the middle-aged generation of the Chen family, named Chen Xiu, and they have just returned to the Chen family. The people of the Chen family were shocked to see that they were so badly injured, and hurriedly sent them to the family for treatment.
"Master, my injuries are no longer serious. The middle-aged Chen Xiu asked weakly, "How are Yue'er and Ming'er?"
"Yue'er is fine, he is not seriously injured, and he will recover soon. Ming'er's injuries are a bit serious, but your emergency response is good, and he is out of danger. The old man, who was called the head of the house, said.
This old man is Chen Yi, the current head of the Chen family, and the Yue'er and Ming'er in their mouths are the two young people. There are four core members of the younger generation of the Chen family, the eldest Chen Yue, the second Chen Ming, the third is Chen Qi, and the youngest sister is Chen Jing.
"It's all my fault for not protecting them. Chen Xiu said reproachfully.
"Don't blame yourself too much, you have encountered a bandit, this is also a helpless thing, and according to your description, your situation this time is more unexpected. Generally speaking, it is rare for bandits to rob a caravan on such a large scale, and it is good that you can come back safely. The head of the family, Chen Yi, comforted.
"Nothing else, mainly Qiqi, she hasn't come back yet, and she doesn't even know if she is alive or dead, if she has three longs and two shorts, how can I explain to my third brother and sister-in-law!" Chen Xiu said sadly.
"Fourth brother, don't blame yourself too much, I don't blame you for this. At this moment, two middle-aged people suddenly came in outside the door, which were Chen Qi's parents.
Chen Qi's mother had a sad face, her eyes were red, and although Chen Qi's father did not show any sad expression, the depression accumulated between her eyebrows was obvious.
"Third brother, third sister-in-law. When Chen Xiu saw the two of them, even though he was physically disabled, he struggled to stand up.
"Fourth brother, you lie down. Chen Qi's father hurriedly supported Chen Xiu, slowly lay him back on the bed, and said: "Fourth brother, I already know about this, I don't blame you, you don't blame yourself too much, and Qiqi may not be okay now, maybe she is on her way back." ”
"You said that you were besieged by bandits at that time, and it was a young man who saved you, can you tell what the young man came from?" asked the head of the family, Chen Yi.
"I don't know. Chen Xiu shook his head and said, "I can only see that the young man is fifteen or sixteen years old, he has a combat weapon, and he is a cultivator in the middle stage of the Qi Gathering Realm, but his strength, speed, and spiritual energy power are not afraid of the monks in the early stage of the Psychic Realm." ”
"This ......" Chen Yi said in amazement: "It is already very remarkable that at the age of fifteen or sixteen, he can cultivate to the middle stage of the Qi Gathering Realm, but the terrible thing is that he can use such a realm to cross the level to fight against the cultivators of the Psychic Realm, such a terrifying character, I'm afraid it is only available in the imperial capital! ”
However, it has been three days since he went to save Kiki, and there is still no news. Chen Qi's mother said worriedly: "You say, will he do anything worse to Qiqi?" ”
"Probably not. Chen Xiu shook his head and said, "I look at that young man with a lofty spirit, righteous and awe-inspiring, not like a despicable and shameless person. ”
"Report, the third lady is back. ”
At this moment, there was an announcement outside, and several people in the room heard it, and they were immediately overjoyed, the third lady in his mouth was Chen Qi.
At this time, the happiest person was Chen Qi's parents, who immediately ran out, and Chen Qi's mother was so excited that her pace was a little unsteady, and she still relied on her husband's half-support to get out.
The head of the family, Chen Yi, also followed, and Chen Xiu was lying on the bed, and a hanging heart also fell. Said happily: "It's back." ”
"Kiki, Kiki. Chen Qi's parents ran out in a panic, and immediately walked towards her briskly when they saw Chen Qi.
"Dad, mother. Seeing his father, Chen Qi was also very happy and threw herself into their arms.
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back. Chen Yi touched his beard on the side and said with a smile.
"Kiki, how is your injury, I heard that you were hit by a sword in the shoulder, how is it now?" After the hug, Chen Qi's mother asked with concern.
"My injury is already fine, thanks to Mu Feng's medicine applied to the wound in time, my injury is almost healed after a night's rest. Chen Qi said.
"Mu Feng?" Just now, because they were too excited, everyone didn't pay attention, and when they heard Chen Qi say it, everyone realized that there was a young man behind Chen Qi. The young man is not very old, and he is two years younger than Chen Qi, which is Lin Feng.
"This little brother is Mu Feng, thank you for saving my daughter and the Chen family, such a great grace, unforgettable. Chen Qi's father walked up to Lin Feng and said.
Lin Feng clenched his fists and said humbly and confidently: "It's just a gesture, and the seniors are serious." ”
"Well, yes, it's really a hero out of a teenager. Chen Yi also walked over and praised: "With such cultivation and bearing at such a young age, Xiaoyou's future is limitless!"
"Senior Miao praised. Lin Feng also clenched his fists, humble but not humble.
Chen Qi saw that his clansmen all ran to Lin Feng's side, and immediately left his mother's arms, came to Lin Feng, pouted and said, "It's the first time that Mu Feng comes to Chen's house, don't surround him, don't scare others." ”
Chen Qi said half-jokingly that after two days of getting along, she was already familiar with Lin Feng, and even her title was directly changed from Mu Gongzi at the beginning to Mu Feng.
