Chapter Ninety-Eight: The First Hearing of the City
Three days of fasting and solitude are fleeting.
In the dilapidated house, three figures sat around the fire. Some meat is roasting on the fire, and the aroma is emanating from it. Xiaohu and Gong Yanxiu glanced at each other, and then looked at Ji Fan on the side, fiddling with the meat on the fire.
Ji Fan woke up today, and the whole person seemed to have fallen asleep, and his body did not have the feeling of recovering from a serious illness at all. Ji Fan, who woke up, never spoke, no matter how the two asked, they were silent.
With a "snap", the dry branches were burned by the fire, adding a touch of sound to the silent atmosphere.
"Ji Fan!" Xiaohu still couldn't help but ask again. "Hmm!" Ji Fan looked up at Xiaohu and responded in surprise. "You're scared me to death, Ah Xiu and I thought you had lost your memory!" Ji Fan's response made Xiaohu and Gong Yanxiu both breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.
"I'm fine, I've just been thinking about a question!" Ji Fan continued to fiddle with the fire. "You say!" Gong Yanxiu asked. Ji Fan handed the roasted meat to Gong Yanxiu and Xiaohu one by one, and said, "Where do we go in the future, do we have to wander forever?" "Of course not!" "Then where do you say you will go next?" As soon as Xiaohu's words fell, Ji Fan looked at Xiaohu and said.
"This~~" Xiaohu has been speechless, where can he go?"Ji Fan, since you said it, then you should already have an idea?" Gongyan Xiu wanted to hear Ji Fan, after all, he had lived in the land of the Southern Wilderness since he was a child.
"If we keep going, then we will still encounter the current situation, fleeing? There are many wanderers like us in this land, but after all, they are all repeating their old lives. I don't want to do this, and you shouldn't want to, right?"
"Of course I don't want to, Ah Xiu and I will want it in the future~" Xiaohu's words were interrupted by Gong Yanxiu, and Gong Yanxiu said, "No one wants to live such a life!" Gong Yanxiu and Ji Fan looked at each other, and Ji Fan said slowly: "I know a place where there is chaos, endless chaos, there are many people who go there, but few come out alive, and at the same time, it is also the easiest place to form forces!"
After Ji Fan's words were finished, he ate the food in his mouth again. Gong Yanxiu and Xiaohu glanced at each other, and they both saw the excitement in each other's eyes. "I think we can try it!" Gong Yanxiu said.
Ji Fan's movements froze, and he looked at Gong Yanxiu. "Ji Fan, why didn't you say it earlier if there is such a place!" Xiaohu patted Ji Fan on the shoulder. "There will die at any time!" Ji Fan said solemnly. "Did you know that the two of us escaped death before!" Xiaohu said with a smile. "My gut tells me that this place is just right for me!" Gong Yanxiu also said. "I hope so!" Ji Fan muttered.
The wind and sand were reckless, Gong Yanxiu, Xiaohu, and Ji Fan came to an ancient city.
At the gate of the city, there were people who kept going in again, some dressed brightly, some dragged their families, some were tattered, and some were high-spirited, in short, there were countless people of all kinds.
"Ji Fan, how can a four be written in this city, and it doesn't look like it?" Xiaohu asked Ji Fan suspiciously.
"Who's stupid child, go into the city to find grandma!" An old woman passed by and heard Xiaohu's voice, and said with a grim smile, while staring at Xiaohu, as if to remember him firmly. "You!" Xiaohu was about to get angry. "Don't act rashly!" Ji Fan firmly grasped Xiaohu. "Hey, hey!" the old woman smiled and entered the city.
"This old fellow, when I enter the city, you will look good!" Xiaohu said unhappily. "You can't do it outside the city, it's the rule!" Ji Fan whispered to the two.
"Look at the word on the gate, it was originally a word of sin, which means that all those who come to this city are sinners. But later, someone removed the following non-words, which vaguely meant that when you come to this city, there is no right or wrong, only life and death! Therefore, as long as you enter this city, the previous grievances will disappear, and you will face life and death. Most of the people who come here are people who have been hunted down or are hiding from their enemies, and people from the whole continent are gathered here, so to speak, in this city, you can learn about the situation of the whole continent. After Ji Fan's words were finished, Gong Yanxiu and Xiaohu were very shocked, they didn't expect that there would be such a place.
"You said that the people in this city are hiding from the enemy, so how can the major forces in the Southern Wilderness allow this city to exist?" Gong Yanxiu asked Ji Fan. "I heard that in the past, there was a big city in the Southern Wilderness, and troops were sent to destroy the city, but in the end it was swallowed up by the major forces in this city, and the people here are licking blood at the edge of the knife every day, and the combined power is terrifying!" Ji Fan explained to Gong Yanxiu.
"It's not easy!" Gong Yanxiu looked at this ancient and huge city, and said to Xiaohu and Ji Ning beside him: "Let's go, let's enter the city!" The three of them walked into the city side by side, facing them, I don't know what kind of bloody rain it is.
"Where to go!" As soon as they entered the city, Gong Yanxiu and the others saw that the three of them were being hunted down. It is clear from the wounds on these three people that they are at a disadvantage. "Help us!" one of them cried out, and if it was outside, there might be someone to help, but here, no one would lend a hand to help.
"Ahh The last person was also stabbed in the back, staggered and fell in front of Xiaohu, and Xiaohu subconsciously bent down to support this person. "Be careful~" Ji Fan's eyes were sharp, and he saw that the man's other hand was about to attack Xiaohu, and his spear pierced through the person's chest.
"You~should~ die!" The man stared at Ji Fan with resentment and fell down.
And the person who was chasing him saw that Ji Fan had already killed him, stared at Gong Yanxiu and the three of them for a while, turned around and left. "Xiaohu, here, there is no sympathy!" Ji Fan walked over and patted Xiaohu on the shoulder and walked forward. "Let's go!" Gong Yanxiu also said. Xiaohu looked at the resentful eyes of the person before he died, and there was a hint of understanding in his eyes.
"Ji Fan, I found that since you woke up, it has become different from before!" Gong Yanxiu said suddenly. "Huh?" Ji Fan was stunned, "Really?" "Not bad!" Gong Yanxiu said: "Even if you knew that person was going to attack Xiaohu just now, you wouldn't have killed you, and judging from your various performances when you woke up, you are a little more ruthless than before!"
"People who have died once may never want to change back to their original selves!" Ji Fan said. "Maybe!" Gong Yanxiu was not discussing this issue with Ji Fan.
"Let's find a place to settle down first!Then inquire about the situation in this city!" Gong Yanxiu put forward his own idea, and Ji Fan and Xiaohu nodded and agreed.
"Three little brothers, can you have a conversation!" a small man walked over and said to the three of them with a smile. "We don't seem to know each other!" Ji Fan said. "Little brother, I just entered the city and I saw your skills, clean and neat. The little man gave Ji Fan a thumbs up. "I think these two little brothers are also good, I opened a small teahouse, I like to make friends with capable people, I see that the three little brothers have just come to the city, willing to make friends, I just think that if the three little brothers become the leader of a party in the future, they can take care of me. ”
The little man said it reasonably, and he praised the three of them vigorously.
"Then go have a cup of tea?" Gong Yanxiu looked at Ji Fan. "Okay!" Ji Fan agreed. The three of them followed the little man towards his teahouse.
"Where did the three little babies come from, it seems that they won't live for three days!" said the owner of a small stall on the side of the road, shaking his head.
"Come, three little brothers, this is the best tea in my teahouse. "The teahouse is not big, and as soon as the three of them came in, the little man was busy making tea for the three of them. "Boss, you're welcome!" said Gong Yanxiu. "Where! The three little brothers have just arrived, and they are not familiar with the place, these are what I should do! You drink first, and I will go upstairs to clean up. ”
The little man put the tea on the table for three and went upstairs.
"Come, let's taste it!" Gong Yanxiu poured tea for Ji Fan Xiaohu, and the three of them tasted it. "Not bad!" Xiaohu took a sip and smacked his lips. "Uh-huh!" Ji Fan also nodded. The three of them chatted and drank tea at the same time, and they were a little happy for a while.
And the little man went upstairs and didn't pack anything. Instead, he quietly looked at the three of Gong Yanxiu downstairs through the dark holes, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
