Seeing that Lan Ruo was a little uncomfortable, Su Xiaowen condensed the water spirit and covered her to make her more comfortable. Wu Zhizai regretted that since he had already seen a doctor just now, why didn't he let the doctor prescribe a prescription.

Leaving Tangcheng, the three of them walked for seven days, stopping and stopping along the way, and resting in the forest at night. It was not until the seventh day that the three of them saw a city.

This city is called Pucheng.

The continuous rush had little impact on Wu Zhizai and Su Xiaowen. But Lan Ruo couldn't bear it, and soon after entering the city, he developed a high fever. He didn't dare to take Lan Ruo to see the doctor, for fear that the doctor would find out that she was a mermaid, so he had to go to the pharmacy with Su Xiaowen to get medicine for fever.

Wu Zhizai was very worried, Lan Ruo had a fever, and he didn't know if it would aggravate the original injury. It seems that before Lan Ruo's injury is healed, it is not appropriate to continue on the road.

At night, the two took turns to take care of Lan Ruo, for fear that she would be in danger.

Fortunately, fever is a very common illness, and the innkeeper knows a little about medical science, so he came to help take care of it. Su Xiaowen knows each other and knows how to give money to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper looked at a young man with two children, and was curious about their origins. But he understands that the less he knows, the better for himself and his family. Everyone has their own difficulties, and the shopkeeper didn't ask them why they didn't go to the doctor when they had the money.

After Lan Ruo recovered, there was a burst of guilt in her heart, and Wu Zhizai stopped her from talking, "Don't say anything like you causing us trouble again, we are friends, and we should take care of each other." Just say thank you, don't say sorry or anything like that. ”

"Thank you. Lan Ruo burst into tears, his father, mother, and clansmen all said that human beings on land are cruel and murderous by nature, and they can do whatever it takes for the sake of profit, but their own people will not let go.

She didn't expect to meet such a good person on land. In order not to kill her, they did not hesitate to offend the royal family. In order to let her return to the sea safely, they worked tirelessly to help her heal her injuries and did everything possible to find a way. She has no relatives with them, but they are willing to help her in this way. I am afraid that this kindness will not be repaid in this life.

How could there be such a good person in this world? She thought, even if she told her people, they might not believe it, right?

Su Xiaowen said: "What should we do next?"

Wu Zhizai said: "Let's stay here, and after Sister Lan Ruo's injuries are complete, we will leave for the beach." Otherwise, continuing to rush will only make Sister Lan Ruo even more uncomfortable. ”

Su Xiaowen nodded, "I also think so, it's impossible for the people from the Dharma Protector Temple to find this side so quickly." Even if we find this side, we will not be able to find us. In Xiaozai, every city will have a place where the poor live. It's a messy place, but if we live in it, it's much safer. ”

That kind of place, Wu Zhizai knows. I went to see the doctor with Lan Ruo before, and I went to that place. It was not only the place where the beast spirits lived, but there were many nature spirits, but they were all poor.

The layout of each city is similar, with the outermost ring occupied by the poor, the middle occupied by the commoners, and the very middle of the city inhabited by the rich.

The place where the three of them are now is a civilian area, and if they want to live in a civilian area, there is no other way than to live in the guest house. But in the poor area, they can find a place to live or buy a house in the poor area, and no one will pay attention to the three of them. There are many orphans in poor areas, and there are not a few of them.

Some cities have only two poor areas, while larger cities can be divided into four poor areas: east, west, north and south. The city where they are now located is not large, and there are only two in the north and south of the poor area.

Wu Zhizai and others came to the nearest southern district, and what Wu Zhizai didn't expect was that there was also an inn in the poor area. He thought that the people in the poor area used the earth as their bed and the sky as their bed, and slept on the road or in an ownerless and dilapidated house. Some people also own houses, and such people are the "rich" in the poor area.

Unable to find a place to live for a while, Wu Zhizai and the three of them continued to stay at the guest house. The innkeeper was a middle-aged woman with unkempt hair. Greeting Wu Zhizai and the three of them listlessly, after Su Xiaowen gave the money, a rather impatient shopkeeper came to take them upstairs.

Wu Zhizai couldn't help but sigh that the inn service in the poor area and the civilian area is really a world of difference. Although I don't like this shop, but now at this point, where can I still be picky.

When I opened the door, I was greeted by a pungent smell. The shopkeeper Eryun is light and breezy, and it is not strange to see it, but Wu Zhizai and the three of them can't stand the smell.

Before Wu Zhizai could speak, the shopkeeper said lightly: "If you don't like to live, get out, but the money has not to be returned." ”

Wu Zhizai held back his anger, he knew that he couldn't be so impulsive anymore, otherwise he would only cause trouble.

After the shopkeeper left, Wu Zhizai opened the windows and doors to ventilate and ventilate. The futon on the bed, Wu Zhizai took it and spread it on the ground, and spent the night tonight, this is the bed for him and Su Xiaowen.

Lan Ruo saw that he was sleeping in bed, but his savior was going to sleep on the ground. Feeling guilty again, as soon as Wu Zhizai saw her eyes, he didn't wait for her to speak, he spoke first. "You're a woman, there's just a bed here, of course I'll let you sleep. This is etiquette, and we, as men, of course, have to follow it. Sleep well and don't think so much. ”

Seeing Lan Ruo's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Wu Zhizai asked, "Sister Lan Ruo, do you think it's okay to have the two of us here?" But there is only one room in this inn, so we have to live together. Don't worry, the two of us won't mess around. ”

After that, Wu Zhizai grinned.

Lan Ruo shook her head, she believed that they wouldn't mess around, how could she think they would. It's just that Eungong is sleeping on the ground, and she can't be at peace after all.

"Well, rest early today. We're going to live here for a while until you're healed, and tomorrow we're going to find a house." ”

As for how to find a house, Wu Zhizai was confused. Su Xiaowen was also confused.

Su Xiaowen said: "Xiaozai, we still live in this inn, it's not expensive anyway." Wait until tomorrow to go out and buy some clean bedding and come back, and simply decorate it, and live here is not bad. ”

Wu Zhizai also felt that this was the case, and he estimated that Lan Ruo would be able to completely recover in about half a month. When the time comes, she will go to the beach, as for how Lan Ruo can find her clansmen, Wu Zhizai really doesn't know this.

In this vast sea, even if you are a mermaid, it is not easy to find your way home.

On weekdays, Wu Zhizai has nothing to do, except for eating, just outside the inn in a daze. He wanted to train, but there were many people wandering in the open space, either in a daze or chatting with others.

If they do physical training in this open area, they will definitely attract the attention of all of them. In their eyes, they are so weird, and when the time comes to spread it, their position is likely to be exposed.

The shopkeeper and the female boss both felt strange, these three people didn't rush or work, but they didn't worry about food and clothing. The two thought that it was very likely that the children of a large family had failed in the struggle in the high-gate mansion and had fallen into this poor area. The two looked at each other, and they both understood what the other was thinking.

Suddenly, the landlady felt a chill and a tingling pain in her neck, and she could feel blood flowing out of her neck. The female boss's face turned pale with fright, she wanted to see who it was, but she didn't dare to make any moves, for fear that her actions would cause the opponent's weapon to cut deeper.

The shopkeeper was even more frightened and sat on the ground, Su Xiaowen's voice was full of threat, "Listen, the three of us don't want to be disturbed by others." We will not give you any less money than we should pay. But you have to remember, if I find that you dare to attack us. In other words, if you join forces with others to fight us, I will definitely kill you two first. ”

There is no business in the inn, and the people who come to the poor area have a few dollars in their hands to stay? The inn has a total of four rooms, and the day when Wu Zhi brought the three of them over, it was the best day for the inn's business.

The female boss knew who was holding the knife to her neck, and said tremblingly: "This lord, you have wronged me." I'm just an innkeeper, how could I do such hurtful things. ”

The shopkeeper echoed: "Yes, yes." We are just businessmen and will never do anything to hurt the guest officer. ”

Although the first floor is a restaurant, the environment is average, and few people will come. Wu Zhizai sat at the door of the inn, holding his cheeks in his hands, watching people come and go. Hearing Su Xiaowen's threatening voice behind him, he didn't bother to look back.

The people of the Dharma Protector Temple can't help him, let alone a place like this, if there is really something to do, if he wants to leave, it is useless to send officers and soldiers.
