Chapter 5 The thief Zhang Shi
The golden sun shone obliquely on Yi Mu's body, reflecting a figure that was neither long nor short. Yi Mu, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, looked back at the Black Tower behind him, waved his hand at the elk Lei who was standing on the window and looked down on him, and left in the direction of the town gate without looking back.
Looking at Yi Mu's gradually smaller figure, many complicated looks flashed in Lei Chong's eyes, with hope and worry. He muttered in his mouth, "Time is running out, master, whether you can succeed or not is the last time." However, there are too many eyes now, and whether I succeed or not, this is my last time, boy. ”
After communicating with Lei Zhong for a long time, Yi Mu finally had a basic understanding of the world he was in. The place where he is located is also the town of Blackstone, which is Dongling County under the sandbar of one of the eighteen states of the Bauhinia Country. It is a small town on the border.
And Lei Zhong is a spirit beast of the Sun Holy Sect, and his main mission is to spread the teachings of the Sun Holy Sect. Spirit beasts are artificially domesticated from demon beasts that can cultivate the spirit elements of heaven and earth, and most of the spirit beasts that spread teachings like Lei Zhong are intelligent spirit beasts, and most of them are descendants of the fourth and fifth generations of initial spirit beasts. Most of them live with humans, and most of them gain wisdom at the cost of losing the fighting ability of spirit beasts. After being trained by the professionals of the Holy Church, they are assigned to the districts of each church, which not only saves costs, but also adds mystique to the Holy Church. As for why Lei Zhong talked about such a secret thing, he didn't think much about it. He was just curious to ask, and Lei Zhong 'just' answered. Perhaps, this is already something that has been made public.
Yi Mu was also troubled by another thing, Lei Chong asked Yi Mu to break through to the advanced stage of martial arts apprenticeship in three months, although Lei Zhong reminded Yi Mu to learn something in a martial arts gym in the town, but he still had little confidence, because Yi Mu knew nothing about martial artists and the world.
Yi Mu shook his head and decided to find a way to solve it later. At this time, he had already arrived in front of a book and paper store, and Yi Mu had not forgotten one of the purposes of his trip.
Walking into the store, Yi Mu heard a greeting, "The paper is on the left, the ink pen is on the right, what do the guests want?" The shopkeeper seemed to be settling the score, but only glanced up at Yi Mu slightly.
Yi Mu walked to the wooden frame and picked up a blank book bound in thread, which was about one centimeter thick and pale green, and the leaf lines on it were clearly visible. This is a kind of paper made directly from leaves, and Yi Mu can't help but admire the person who invented these papers, and at the same time he is helpless because of the high price of paper.
Yi Mu walked to the ink pen area and picked up a pen made of several materials similar to a goose feather tube. Carefully observe the principle of fountain pen drainage. After choosing the pen and paper, Yi Mu followed the advice of the shopkeeper and purchased some ink for the replacement of ink pen and ink.
After painfully paying two amethyst coins, Yi Mu walked towards his final destination. It took a while for Yi Mu to find the mutton fat he needed from the town's bazaar. Carrying the wooden container like a gourd, Yi Mu hurried in the direction of the town gate, because it was not early at this time.
Just when Yi Mu turned around an alley and was about to take a shortcut he had just discovered, a somewhat familiar figure appeared in front of Yi Mu's eyes, only to see him run straight to a dead alley on Yi Mu's right hand, hiding behind a pile of miscellaneous objects and anxiously signaling Yi Mu, opening his mouth but not daring to say anything. Yi Mu recognized that person, it was the thief he had met in the morning, and without thinking much about it, Yi Mu walked straight ahead. Almost at the same time, a group of chasing people appeared from a bend in an alleyway. The leader is a scumbag with a mouth, a small scar on the left side of his face, and a fierce face, obviously a person who is not easy to provoke.
The scar man saw Yi Mu and asked loudly, "Boy, did you see someone running over just now?" ”
Yi Mu pretended to be happy and said, "See, that stinky boy hit me and walked in that direction." As he spoke, Yi Mu casually pointed in a direction.
"Chase" Scar Man shouted loudly, and a group of people rushed towards Yi Mu's side. "Fool" Yi Mu couldn't help but laugh contemptuously in his heart, and his lips couldn't help but rise slightly. At this time, a man with an eagle hooked nose vaguely saw Yi Mu's chuckle, and was about to say something when he was urged by his accomplices to chase after him. He looked back at Yi Mu and left with doubts.
About a minute later, the thief, who was the initiator, crept out of the alley and said to Yi Mu, who was leaning against the wall, "Thank you, if it weren't for you, I would ・・・・・・ today"
"You're a thief!" Yi Mu interrupted him coldly.
"How do you know?" The thief looked at Yi Mu in surprise and suddenly said with some excitement: "I remembered, we didn't meet before, I thought you were a companion." ”
Yi Mu's eyelids twitched a little, and he was about to retort.
"It's not safe to talk here, let's get out of here first, and I'll take you somewhere else." The thief said.
"Why should I believe you." Yi Mu said.
"You can not believe me, but why are you helping me? Come with me, I'm not an ungrateful person. With that, the thief left in one direction.
Yi Mu looked at the man's back, and finally curiosity took over, and followed him in his direction.
At this time, Yi Mu followed the thief named Zhang Shi to the door of the side door of a dilapidated two-story house. Zhang Shi knocked on the door, and it took a while for a fat aunt to open the door. When the fat aunt saw Zhang Shi, her eyes naturally showed a trace of disdain, and her eyes fell on Yi Mu, and her disdain deepened a little. But Zhang Shi still said hello very politely, and after explaining the identity of Yi Mu's friend, the aunt didn't say anything and turned to leave.
Zhang Shi smiled and said to Yi Mu: "Now you know why I misunderstood." ”
Yi Mu rolled his eyes, but he had a little respect for him in his heart.
Zhang Shi beckoned Yi Mu to a room, the room was not big, except for putting down two wooden beds, it was a passage that could be used for people to walk.
"Brother, are you back?" Hearing the sound, Yi Mu turned his head and saw a pale girl standing at the door.
Zhang Shi hurriedly walked up to the girl and said, "Wood, your illness is not cured yet, why did you go around again, how many times have I told you, but I still don't listen." ”
"I'm fine, brother, is this a guest?" The girl tilted her head and asked, "Hello, my name is Zhang Yumu, what do you call you?" Before Yi Mu could answer the girl's question, she suddenly closed her eyes and fell asleep. Fortunately, Zhang Shi, who was standing beside her, was firmly caught and carried her to the bed.
"What's wrong with her?" Yi Mu asked in a whisper.
"Yumu has had a strange illness for a minute, and he always faints for no reason, and now his condition is getting worse and worse." Zhang Shi looked at the girl lying comfortably asleep on the bed lovingly and said slowly.
"What about your parents? Why didn't you take her to the doctor? Yi Mu asked suspiciously, and the next moment he immediately realized that he had asked some stupid questions.
"Dead, they were all killed by robbers! My sister and I have been living together for five years. Zhang Shi's eyes were a little dim.
"Orphans like me." Yi Mu smiled bitterly.
Zhang Shi looked at Yi Mu with some surprise, and then smiled bitterly: "They are all orphans." ”
Both of them fell silent, and after a while, Zhang Shi asked first, 'I don't know your name yet?' Why don't I call you big brother? ”
Yi Mu hurriedly refused: "My name is Yi Mu, I don't have to be older than you, I'll call you big brother." Yi Mu already had the idea of befriending Zhang Shi in his heart at this time.
"By the way, you haven't told me why those people are chasing you?" Yi Mu asked
Zhang Shi pondered for a while, took out a cloth bag in his arms, threw it to Yi Mu and said, "It's because of this." Zhang Shi placed his right hand behind him and looked at Yi Mu cautiously.
Yi Mu weighed the cloth bag, which seemed to contain a small stone. When you pour it out, it is an irregular pale green crystal, like a gemstone. But Yi Mu had a strange feeling that this thing was not just an ordinary gemstone.
"Second-order demon beast, the demon core of the green-skinned demon lizard." Zhang Shi looked at Yi Mu and said.
"Demon beasts? I've only heard of spirit beasts, second order? Are they still graded? Yi Mu asked.
"Spirit beasts generally refer to demon beasts that have been domesticated by humans. In addition to demon beasts, there is also a creature called demonic beasts, and they are all existences that can cultivate the aura of heaven and earth. The demon core is the essence of the demon beast. There must be a more powerful existence above the second order, but I only know that the second-order demonic beast is equivalent to the strength of a martial artist. Zhang Shi explained.
"It's valuable, isn't it? You steal them? Yi Mu said and threw the bag back to Zhang Shi.
Zhang Shi took the bag and said with some gratitude: "It's very valuable, at least 10 black crystal coins (10,000 amethyst coins)." But it's not theirs, it's something they snatched from someone else! I'm just, but I'm ・・・・・. Speaking of this, Zhang Shi paused, turned his head to look at the quiet sleeping girl, and said, "I just want to cure my sister." ‘
"And what's next for you?" Yi Mu asked.
"I'm going to get out of here, and with this money, I can take the rain curtain to Dongjun City to seek medical treatment. Brother Yi, I can't repay you now. I only have ten amethyst coins, you can keep them first, and when you come to Dongjun City in the future, you will come to me again, and I will definitely go to the soup to fight the fire. With that, Yi Mu pulled out a small wooden box from under the bed and handed it to Yi Mu.
Yi Mu patted Zhang Shi's shoulder and said, "I don't need it, I don't plan to get any benefits from you, keep it for myself, for your sister, there is still a lot of cost to go to Dongjun." ”
"Brother Yimu, thank you!" Zhang Shi's voice was a little stalking, he took away the hand behind him, hugged Yi Mu and said gratefully.
Yi Mu took out a strangely shaped stone from his arms and handed it to Zhang Shi, saying, "Remember to heal your sister, if we can see you again, take this stone, I will recognize you." By the way, it's not early, and I'm going back too. ”
"It's not safe to go outside the town after dark," Zhang Shi took the stone and nodded, "Why don't I take you to the hotel." ”
Yi Mu looked out the small window and found that it was already very dark. Just as he was about to shake his head, Zhang Shi said again: "Always let me do something, come with me." Without waiting for Yi Mu to reply, he grabbed a handful of crystal coins from the box, turned around and pulled Yi Mu away.
Zhang Shi did not dare to go to the main road, but turned around in the alley and came to a brigade called 'Keyunlai', Zhang Shi handed over half an amethyst coin after a conversation, and handed it to Yi Mu with a wooden card.
"See you soon!" Zhang Shi hugged Yi Mu, took out a small black disc from his arms and put it in Yi Mu's hand, and then turned around and left.
Yi Mu looked at the back of Zhang Shi leaving, and said with some sighs: "What a good brother." Yi Mu didn't know that he had escaped because of his kindness.
