Chapter Twenty-Six: The Girl of Moonstone Town
It has been two days since he left Falling Moon City, and in the past two days, Lin Feng has basically been in a hurry except for a delay at Jiang Wenyuan's place, and of course, there is still a necessary rest.
The places that Lin Feng passed through in the past two days were basically sparsely populated wilderness, and at most you could see some small villages. Today, he finally saw a slightly denser place, a small town located outside the city, called Moonstone Town.
The Burning Cloud Kingdom is vast, but not all places are inhabited, and most of the people are gathered in a dozen large cities. Such a city, Falling Moon City is counted as one, and the closest to Falling Moon City is Ironstone City.
Moonstone Town is located in the middle of Falling Moon City and Ironstone City, which is considered a transit station between the two cities, so one character in each of the names of the two cities is used as the name of the town.
When Lin Feng came to Yueshi Town, it was noon, and the sun was scorching. As soon as he entered the town, Lin Feng was drowned out by the noisy shouting, as a transit point between Falling Moon City and Iron and Stone City, naturally there were frequent caravans and a large population, although this was only a small town, this shouting was almost not lower than that of the entire Falling Moon City.
Suddenly, there was a noise ahead, and the movement even overpowered the shouting here, and the movement was approaching Lin Feng. As the sound got closer and closer, Lin Feng also knew why it was so noisy.
"Catch the thief, everyone help catch the thief, catch the thief in front of you. ”
Lin Feng followed the sound and saw a young girl, fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in coarse linen clothes, her face was covered with dust and mud, and she looked dirty.
At this time, she ran away in front of her with a package, followed by several big men chasing, the girl was panting, and the speed was getting slower and slower, at this moment, a figure suddenly rushed out in front of the girl, and tripped the girl to the ground with a kick.
After the girl fell to the ground, she wanted to get up and continue to escape, but because she was too tired and physically exhausted, she stood up with difficulty, and looked vigilantly at the big men behind her who walked slowly like cats and mice. Her eyes sparkled, and there was a hint of panic and helplessness in her bright eyes, but she didn't say a word from beginning to end.
"You little thief, keep running, why don't you run, you can really run, I'm tired and out of breath!" Several big men walked over slowly, and one of them said playfully.
"Don't talk nonsense with her, hurry up and hand over the elixir, otherwise you don't want to leave today!"
"Why!" the girl retorted.
There were a lot of people gathered around, but they were all watching the excitement, no one came forward to speak, everyone looked like they didn't care about themselves, in Yueshi Town, such things were too common.
The world is indifferent, but Lin Feng is different, he is still a hot-blooded teenager, and when he was in Lan Village, he felt too much enthusiasm from those simple villagers, which made him unable to ignore these things.
"What's going on?" Lin Feng walked out of the crowd and asked a few people.
If it was an ordinary person, these big men would not pay attention to it at all, but when they saw Lin Feng dressed in luxurious clothes, they guessed that this should be a person from a big family, and it was better not to offend.
So, the first one said, "This thief stole our elixir. ”
"You are talking nonsense, this is the elixir I found myself, obviously you want to rob it, you bandits, who doesn't know your character here?" said the girl without showing weakness.
"Hehe, I said Tang girl, you keep saying that we are bandits, have you forgotten what your dead father did?" one of the bandits teased.
"You ......"
"Okay, stop!" Lin Feng interrupted their quarrel and said to a few big men: "I see that several of you are monks of the Body Forging Realm, but she is an ordinary person, you say that she stole your elixir, then I want to ask, how did an ordinary person steal it?"
"This ......" the big man at the head said hesitantly, "She stole it while we weren't looking." ”
"The monk's spiritual sense is far beyond ordinary people, and there are seven or eight of you, you tell me how she can steal the elixir without you knowing?" Lin Feng asked rhetorically.
A group of big men couldn't refute what Lin Feng said, and one of the short-tempered people shouted: "Boy, this matter has nothing to do with you, I advise you not to meddle in your affairs, so as not to get into trouble." ”
"Oh, are you threatening me?"
"You can think so. "Several big men are already gearing up, ready to do it at any time.
"Wait. The leader stopped his men and said with a gloomy face, "Let's go." ”
"Big brother, he's ......"
"Don't say it, let's go. "What else did the big men want to say, after the leader interrupted them, they took the lead in turning and leaving, although the others were unwilling, but there was no way, the boss had already left, and they could only follow.
"Thank you. The girl was a little surprised to see the bandits leave directly, but she still thanked Lin Feng, and then ran away quickly without waiting for Lin Feng to answer.
Seeing that the matter was over, the crowd watching the excitement also dispersed, originally thought that there was a good show to watch, but who knew that the bandits, who had always been strong, actually confessed.
People can't help but start to guess where this young man is, and he actually drank the group of bandits away in a few words, they don't believe that the group of bandits left because of reason, in the eyes of the bandits, they are the truth.
At this time, not to mention others, even Lin Feng himself was a little confused, that group of people was violent, they originally thought that this fight was inevitable, who would have thought that they would run away directly.
After a group of bandits left far enough, one of them asked: "Big brother, why are we leaving, didn't the helper let us target that little girl, and today she actually picked an elixir, it doesn't look bad, it may be a second-grade elixir, wouldn't we make a lot of money by snatching it over?"
"That little girl is in Yueshi Town, it's the same when we deal with her, the elixir shouldn't be used in her hands for the time being, we'll grab it in a few days." The bandit leader explained, "I'm mainly a little jealous of that kid. ”
"That kid has nothing to be afraid of, he is only a teenager, although he should have a bit of a background in his outfit, but as long as we don't hurt him, the people behind him won't do anything to us, after all, it's not like no one behind us. A little minion said contemptuously.
"You've only been in the gang for a short time, and you've experienced too little. The leader shook his head and said, "I have followed several gang leaders to many places to rob, and I have seen a lot, do you know what that kid is carrying behind his back?"
"What else can it be, it's just a broken sword, the sword body has been green and patina, it can be seen that its quality is not very good, although it is a little extraordinary, but it is at most an ordinary weapon. The little minion who was talking back just now said again.
"Hmph, stupid!" the leader snorted coldly, and said in a low voice, "You can look carefully, those green patinas are still glowing with a little light, and in my experience, it is definitely a combat weapon." At his age, he was able to carry a weapon with him, and you can imagine how deep his background was.
This kind of person, we should not contact it, a little upset him, we may lose our heads. I see that he is just passing by, and it is not too late for us to wait for him to leave. ”
"So that's the case, it's my clumsiness, or the big brother is powerful, otherwise we might all be in danger today. The little minion also realized his mistake and patted his ass vigorously.
"That is, my decades of licking blood from the knife are not in vain. The leader also smiled proudly, and then beckoned his subordinates and ordered: "Let's go, there is such a person in Yueshi Town, let's hurry up and report to the helper." ”
"Okay!" everyone echoed, and a group of bandits happily embarked on the road back to the gang, all happy like children of two hundred pounds.
Back to Lin Feng's side, when Lin Feng came to Yueshi Town, although it was still noon, because of a delay, he went to the town's fang market to take a stroll, resulting in the sky now being almost dark.
"Gotta find an inn to stay in quickly. Lin Feng muttered to himself.
However, he was still a step late, the caravans in Moonstone Town came and went frequently, the population has always been very dense, and the inn has always been in short supply. It was already night, all the inns were full, and Lin Feng walked through the streets and alleys until it was completely dark, and he didn't find a place to stay.
Because there are many caravans here, there are naturally many bandits and robbers, and at night, whether it is a local resident or a passing merchant, they rarely go out. Lin Feng walked on the uninhabited street and sighed lightly: "Hey, I'm going to sleep in the wild again tonight." ”
At this moment, a figure walked out of the pharmacy in front of him, and it was the girl he had met before. At this time, the girl had changed into a clean dress, although it was still coarse linen, but it was also slim.
After the dirt on his face was cleaned, he still had a slightly immature face but was also white and clean, with a pair of clear big eyes and watery eyes, and now he looks like a very beautiful little girl.
"Are you the son just now?" When Lin Feng saw her, she also saw Lin Feng, looking at Lin Feng's embarrassed appearance, she probably guessed that Lin Feng didn't find accommodation, because she was a local, and she often saw things like not being able to find accommodation at night.
So, she said to Lin Feng: "If the son has no place to live, it is better to go to my house for a while." ”
"This, it's not good!" Lin Feng said hesitantly. Although it is a good thing to have a place to live, he and this girl have only known each other, and they have only met each other once, and they have not even said a word, so I am afraid it is not good to go rashly.
"It's okay, today's son is out of the siege for me, I have something urgent to do, I didn't even say thank you, and now that Childe is in trouble, it's time for me to repay it." The girl said seriously.
"Okay. Since they all said so, Lin Feng couldn't refuse again.
