Volume 1 Pangea Chapter 23 Go to Jiangyan City
"I'm ready to leave Lincheng......"
Hearing Hu Lin's words, Yuan Jing couldn't help but lower her head. After two years of getting along, she has become accustomed to the presence of Hu Lin in her small courtyard. Although in the past two years, the two have not had much intersection except for cultivation. But every time they talked after cultivation, the two of them still had a certain understanding of each other in their hearts. What's more, there is Mei'er, a quirky flavoring, which has made her and Hu Lin have a very happy time in the past two years.
Although Hu Lin and Yuan Jing did not explore each other's private affairs too much. But after two years of getting along, it is obvious that they have left a shadow in each other's hearts. At least for a short time, this shadow will not disappear from their hearts.
Yuan Jing calmed down her mood for a while, barely squeezed out a smile on her face, and said, "Where is Brother Lin going, when is it leaving?" Because Hu Lin was slightly older than her, after getting acquainted, she kept calling Hu Lin Brother Lin.
Although Yuan Jing's face is not as good as that of the woman on the bone plate, her independent personality is still very distinct. After such a long period of contact, it is impossible to say that Hu Lin was not moved. But the tragic childhood experience of Demon Suppression Valley made him involuntarily restrain his feelings for the opposite sex. Therefore, even if Yuan Jing has left an indelible shadow in his heart, he has never shown it.
At this time, the unnatural smile on Yuan Jing's face made Hu Lin lose his mind instantly, but he quickly recovered, and said indifferently, "I plan to leave tomorrow, as for where to go, I'm afraid I still need Xiao Jing (Hu Lin's name for Yuan Jing after getting acquainted) You come and tell me." ”
"I, Brother Lin, do you want my little sister to recommend a place to go?"
"Isn't that ...... I just want to know, where did Yue Qingshan come to Lincheng?" For two years, he had been secretly inquiring about Yue Qingshan. It's just that after the City Lord's Mansion cleaned Lincheng, there wasn't a lot of information about Yue Qingshan. Therefore, Hu Lin planned to go to Yue Qingshan's hometown to have a look, so he raised this question to Yuan Jing.
After Yuan Jing listened, he cast a puzzled look at him. Yue Qingshan has been missing in Lincheng for more than two years, and the Treasure Chamber of Commerce and the City Lord's Mansion have never given up searching for him. But two years have passed, and Yue Qingshan seems to have disappeared from this world, and even the two major forces of Lincheng have not found a trace of information about him. She couldn't understand that Hu Lin, who had never mentioned Yue Qingshan, actually asked such a question before leaving.
Doubts are doubts, Yuan Jing still answered truthfully, "Brother Lin wants to explore Yue Qingshan, I'll talk to you." The Lincheng where we are located belongs to the Linkui Empire, one of the three major empires on the mainland, and Yue Qingshan lived in the imperial capital of the empire Linkui City before coming to Lincheng. But as far as I know, this Yue Qingshan was born in Jiangyan City. If Yue Qingshan hadn't died, he would most likely have returned to these two places. But both the Jubao Chamber of Commerce and the City Lord's Mansion had sent people to investigate, but they found nothing. However, I still recommend that you go to these two places, after all, there are still people who are very close to Yue Qingshan. ”
After listening to Yuan Jing's words, Hu Lin already had a plan in his heart, and said with a smile, "Xiao Jing, don't you want to ask me, why are you searching for information about Yueqing Mountain?"
"I know very well that Brother Ringo is a person, although his style is a little eccentric, but he is by no means a big traitor. Besides, Yue Qingshan is not a good person, if he is still alive, he may not be able to stir up some conspiracy somewhere, and he should be investigated. As for why Ringo wanted to check him, I think you'll tell me one day. When Yuan Jing said the last sentence, her eyes were full of affirmation.
Looking at her eyes, Hu Lin's little heart twitched, suppressed the urge to tell her everything, took out the three puppets from the Void Star Ring and said, "I'm leaving, let's give them to you after thinking about it." These are three defensive golems, and they are already filled with energy crystals. If something life-threatening happens, press their heads and throw them, and these golems will give you enough time to escape. After speaking, he handed the three puppets to Yuan Jing.
Yuan Jing looked at the three puppeteers with shields, pushed back to Hu Lin, and said, "Little sister usually doesn't go out alone to carry out tasks, Brother Lin left Lincheng alone this time, and it is very likely that he will encounter danger along the way, so you better keep yourself for self-defense......"
Hu Lin smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Have you forgotten that I am a puppeteer? This is a gift from you, so you can accept it." "He does have a puppet in his mystical bracelet, but nothing better than these three.
"Then the little sister will thank Brother Lin for the gift......" After speaking, she put away the three puppets.
The gift was given, and the words that should be asked were finished, and Hu Lin got up to say goodbye. When he opened the door, he stopped, turned his head to Yuan Jing, who was staring at him blankly, and said, "Xiao Jing, I came out of the Demon Suppression Valley, you must not treat me as a good person...... After speaking, he stepped out of the door and walked away without looking back.
Yuan Jing's eyebrows widened, and she sat on the chair blankly. Hu Lin's words just now were hitting her brain at this time. It has been a few years since Yuan Jing came to Lincheng, and she couldn't be more aware of this Demon Valley. She really couldn't believe that this weird-looking big boy was actually from the Demon Valley. After a long time, Yuan Jing woke up from the shock and wanted to catch up and ask for clarification. But after coming to the courtyard, where can you still find Hu Lin's traces.
It didn't take long for Hu Lin to walk out of Lin City, and after leaving the city gate, he ran wildly into a mountain forest before stopping. He pulled out a map from the Void Star Ring, which he had just bought from Lin City. When Yuan Jing mentioned the two cities related to Yue Qingshan, Hu Lin wanted to go to Najiang Yancheng first.
After finding the location of Jiang Yancheng on the map, he secretly admired his foresight. It turns out that this Jiangyan City is located between Lincheng and Linkui City, but it is far away from Lincheng. After confirming the direction, Hu Lin walked slowly in the direction of Jiang Yan City.
Suddenly, Hu Lin's shoulder and chest squirmed, and a small snow-white head came out of the pocket on his chest. Of course, this little head is Mei'er, it hasn't changed much in the past two years, and it still looks like a little fox. Of course, it is not without progress at all, and with unremitting efforts to cultivate, Mei'er can finally speak.
"Young Master, when you were leaving, why did you tell Sister Jing that you are from the Demon Suppression Valley?" a pleasant voice came from the mouth of the little fox.
Hu Lin rubbed its little head with his fingers and said, "Girl, your sister Jing is not a bad person, tell her that it's okay......"
"However, when the young master says this, I'm afraid Sister Jing will be sad. I can see that she has a crush on you, but when you say this to her when you leave, it obviously makes her lose her thoughts about you......"
Hearing the little fox's words, a trace of wisdom flashed in Hu Lin's eyes, and he said with a smile, "Little girl, you seem to know a lot, I don't know a lot of things......"
When the little fox heard this, he quickly covered his mouth like a child who had said the wrong thing. After a while, he said weakly, "Sister Jing and I do have some secrets. If the young master wants to know, I'll tell you the truth now......"
Seeing the pitiful appearance of the little fox now, Hu Lin said in a gentle voice, "Silly girl, you have to be trustworthy. Since it is your and Sister Jing's secret, you have to keep it for her. I'm not so bored to inquire about other people's private affairs. With that, Hu Lin ran again with all his might.
He wanted to get to Waterfront before dark, which was the only town in the vicinity. Due to the hurry of coming out, Hulin did not prepare dry food. Now there is just over half a day left until the sun sets. And that Linshui Town is still dozens of kilometers away from his current location. If they don't hurry soon, he and the little fox will have to eat game.
Thankfully, nothing happened along the way, and Hulin finally reached Linshui Town before the sun went down.
It is an ordinary town, and it is called Linshui Town because it is adjacent to the Jiangyan River. The neat white walls and green tiles, in the afterglow of the setting sun, have a unique scenery. The surging Jiangyan River rushes behind the town. The humidity brought by the river decorates this waterfront town like a shy young woman.
After running wildly for a whole afternoon, Hu Lin dragged his tired body and stepped over the plaque at the entrance of the town. As soon as he stepped into the town, the aroma of food began to pull Hu Lin's pace. Following the scent all the way, Hu Lin came to the door of a small shop. After greedily taking a sip of the aroma of the dishes at the door, Hu Lin couldn't wait to enter the shop.
After entering the shop, Xiao Er greeted him warmly, bowed and said, "This master, please come in!"
Xiao Er enthusiastically led Hu Lin to the table and continued, "This master, at first glance, you are the one who is in a hurry. I wonder if you're going to eat first, or find a room to rest in?"
Hu Lin was hungry now, so he said to Xiao Er, "Let's eat first...... As soon as I entered the door, I smelled the enticing aroma of vegetables. I wonder what kind of dishes are in the store, and the aroma that comes out?"
"This lord, you came at the right time. This afternoon, the boss caught a rare Jiangyan carp from the Jiangyan River behind the town. This is a specialty of Jiangyanhe, which is rare on weekdays. So the owner cooked himself and made a pot of fish soup. Now there's only one left, do you want one?"
"Then give me the last one, and serve me a few side dishes and two bowls of rice. By the way, bring me an extra pair of chopsticks. ”
"Gotcha!" Xiao Er answered, and then quickly went to the kitchen to serve food.
After a while, the meal was neatly placed on the table. Hu Lin wanted to take out the little fox, but when the fish soup was brought out, the little fox rushed directly from his pocket to the table.
Xiao Er was not frightened by the little fox that suddenly came out, which showed that he was used to such things. It's just that Mei'er, the little fox, is so good-looking that the little second can't help but take a few more looks.
Hu Lin couldn't help but shake his head and smile when he saw the little fox staring pitifully at the fish soup. Then he took the fish soup and poured a bowl into the empty bowl next to him, and pushed it in front of the little fox. Merle sniffed with her little nose and then stuck her head in the bowl and feasted on it, which was so cute. Hulin looked at it, and then ate it to himself.
Not to mention, this fish soup is really delicious, Hu Lin and Mei'er drank the soup completely, and they still have a feeling of unfinished. But that's all there is to it, and now that they're full, they're thinking about the next chance they'll be drinking. Just as Hu Lin was about to beckon Xiao Er over, a not-so-beautiful voice reached his ears.
"Yo~ This little fox is very cute! If I get it and give it to Widow Zhang, then wouldn't I be ...... tonight?"
