Chapter 9: The Inn in Distress
It took Li Qing 3 days to completely get out of the Meng family's sphere of influence, and from time to time he would hear that the Meng family was tracking a little family member, and there were rich rewards, but no one would have thought that the inconspicuous 'little boy' next to him was the person who offered the reward.
When he came to Qinglian Town, it was already a week later, and now Li Qing has nothing on his body except for Qingyi Jue and the map, and there is only one dry steamed bun left in the dry food he brought before, which is still the result of Li Qing's consumption reduction. The first thing to do now is to find a place to help earn some rations, after all, Li Qing is not a cultivator, and he can't reach their "cannibalistic fireworks".
Li Qing is a person with great ambitions, after so many things have happened, it has made her desire for strength reach an unprecedented level, now that there is a map of the Immortal Cave Mansion, she should naturally go and take a look, not to mention that Xiao Yuchen's father also disappeared after going there, and he should go to find it, which can be regarded as repaying the grace of the loan, but the first thing to do now is to solve the current problem of food and clothing.
came to an inn, this was already Li Qing's fourth entry, and the previous three were all disgusted that Li Qing was too young, and they didn't need her at all, so they drove out directly. So this time Li Qing chose a smaller storefront, maybe it will be.
Entering the inn, there are not many people, and the shopkeeper is bowing his head in front of the counter and pulling the abacus.
"Yo, little brother, please, do you want to stay in the hotel?" When the shopkeeper saw Li Qing coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward.
"I, I want to work as a helper here, I don't know if I need anyone" Li Qing pretended to be very embarrassed to answer, and when he heard this, the shopkeeper at the counter raised his head.
"Little brother, why did you come out to help? Is it so small, do the family agree? ”
The shopkeeper motioned for Li Qing to follow him into the room next to the counter, asking as he walked.
"The family agreed, originally they wanted to come with me, but I think our inn is not far from home, so I don't need them to accompany me, I have more brothers and sisters, and the family environment is not very good, and it is not easy to live, so ...... I hope the shopkeeper will do me a favor, I am very diligent, I can do anything, and my brother has been favored by Qinglianmen as a disciple, and when my brother comes back, he will definitely repay the shopkeeper" Li Qing replied proudly. Li Qing deliberately kept an eye on it and made up a lie, although it does seem that there is no danger here on the surface, but there is no big mistake in being careful, I believe that no one in Qinglian Sect will easily offend, and it doesn't hurt to borrow it.
The shopkeeper groaned a little and said, "Okay, I'll eat and live here, the monthly silver is two taels, it's best to live in the store, so that it is convenient to work, and if you agree, you can go to work tomorrow" The obvious tone was more kind than at the beginning.
"Well, I agree" Li Qing was very satisfied with the conditions of the shopkeeper, especially the requirement to live in the store, Li Qing couldn't ask for it. Li Qing thought that maybe his lies really played a role.
"Well, okay, you come with me, take a look at your room, you rest here today first, and start working tomorrow."
Li Qing was very happy that it went so smoothly.
After thanking the shopkeeper, Li Qing entered his room, the room was very simple, a wooden bed, a table, a chair, and a teapot and tea bowl were placed on the table. The next month will be at least a month to live here, pick up the tea bowl, drink a glass of water, Li Qing to lie down by the bed, after so many days. She was really tired.
When he woke up, Li Qing felt that his whole body was shaking, and when he opened his eyes, he was lying in a small space, and the whole space was shaking and moving forward, it should be a carriage. Li Qing moved, only then did he find that his arms and legs were tied with ropes, and his body was sore, it seemed that he should have been given sweat medicine or something before, Li Qing thought back to what happened yesterday, and he only drank such a bowl of tea from beginning to end, it seems that he was still too careless. There is not much panic, and the main thing now is to figure out what your situation is, which is how you want to yourself.
"This one looks too young this time, I don't know if the ancestor will like it"
"Who knows, the taste of the ancestor is getting more and more unique, and now he actually likes the boy, or we don't have to do this kidnapping all day long, I heard him say that there is a younger brother who is from Qinglianmen, I don't know if there will be any trouble, if it weren't for the time to see that the specified time has come, and no one has been found, there is no need to make up for him, until the last resort, I really don't want to provoke Qinglianmen"
"What are you afraid of, there is an ancestor, besides, even if his younger brother comes back, who can prove that we took this kid, even if it is discovered, Qinglian Sect can't offend the ancestor for a little disciple." It can only be regarded as his bad luck. I guess he'll wake up soon, let's hurry up, don't make any extraneous branches, I'm not sure in my heart"
"What can be the matter, I have already seen it yesterday, this kid doesn't even have a spiritual root, the two of us are masters of the 2nd level of the Qi cultivation period, he can't escape from our Five Finger Mountain, I just hope that this time I can exchange more pills from the ancestor to improve his cultivation."
Li Qing listened to the intermittent voices of the two people outside the carriage, it was the voice of the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper yesterday, it seems that he is really unlucky, no matter how careless he is, he went to work as a helper at that time yesterday, and he estimated that he would end up in this situation without mana, which was really tragic. But Li Qing doesn't want to sit still, she must find a way to escape, even if she dies, she can't be taken away by them, listening to their tone, this ancestor doesn't want a kid to invite guests to dinner, she doesn't want to be at the mercy of others.
Li Qing opened the corner of the curtain with his mouth and peeked out, all the way was a plain, there was no possibility of escaping at all, just when Li Qing was about to despair, the carriage drove towards the edge of a mountain cliff. Fight, Li Qing thought.
Just as the carriage passed by the edge of the cliff, Li Qing slammed into the side of the carriage close to the edge of the cliff with all his strength, and the carriage shook violently when he couldn't reach it.
"It's not good, jump out of the car" shouted to the shopkeeper, the two of them jumped off the carriage in a hurry, landed in the open space next to them, turned around and wanted to pull the carriage, it was too late, and saw that the horse and the cart fell into the cliff next to it and fell into the mountain stream.
