Chapter 52: Home
Ling Tianmao finally walked out of the bustling commercial street and came to a secluded alley. Just as he was thinking about where to go next, a familiar figure suddenly flashed in front of him.
"Isn't that the kid you met at the inn today? It's a coincidence that I can actually meet him here. Dahl recognized Scarface, who had just appeared in front of him, and he was accompanied by five or six yodelers dressed in different costumes.
"It's not normal, and no one restricts his personal freedom, so it's not unusual for him to appear anywhere." Ling Tianmao glanced over there and prepared to walk in the direction he had come.
"These guys aren't good people at first glance, let's go along and see what they want."
"Then naturally there is a security team in the city, and it is not my turn to interfere as an outsider, more things are better than less things, let's go back to the place where we live."
"Ouch, why did you go back so early, just now I was saying that the room there is too small and uncomfortable to live in, and it's good to follow them around."
Hearing this, Ling Tianmao's heart began to waver a little, just as Dahl said, he didn't want to go back to that aggrieved small room so early, so after thinking about it a little, he still quietly followed behind these yodelers.
Most of the buildings and facilities inside Bandle City were relatively small, and it was difficult for Ling Tianmao to find any suitable cover along the way, and he was almost discovered by the people in front of him several times.
In order to reduce the danger of being discovered, Ling Tianmao tried to keep a certain distance, but the effect of this was that although several people were talking about something along the way, he could hear very little clearly.
However, he still had a rough idea of the purpose of these men from the bits and pieces of conversation he heard.
The purpose of their trip was to harass a resident of the city, who seemed to have taken a fancy to the location of his house and wanted to force him to move out.
"Sure enough, as I thought, these guys won't do anything good!"
"You yodelers will also do this, it seems that there is no difference between us humans, they are all bullying good and fearing evil." Ling Tianmao teased Dahl.
"There's good and bad everywhere, isn't it...... Don't say so much, keep an eye on them, don't lose them! ”
As he spoke, the people in front of him had already turned another corner and entered a dark path.
"This way...... Could it be ......?"
Ling Tianmao was just about to follow the turn out, but when he heard the voices of several people talking, he quickly stopped, poked his head out from the back of the corner and looked in.
Sure enough, several people stopped in front of a door not far from the corner, and were slamming the door hard with the wooden sticks in their hands.
"It's ...... My family ......" Dahl's trembling voice rang in his head.
Ling Tianmao was also taken aback when he heard this, he didn't expect these people to have anything to do with Dahl, but he didn't rush forward, after all, the situation is not very clear now, Dahl hasn't been back to Bander City for so long, maybe his family doesn't live here anymore.
"Don't be in such a hurry, maybe they've already moved out, let's take a look here first." Ling Tianmao kept soothing the anxious Dahl.
Although Dahl was still very irritable, he was now limited by Ling Tianmao's body, and he couldn't do anything no matter how anxious he was.
At this moment, the dilapidated wooden door in front of the house slowly opened, and a gray-haired yodeler saw that several people outside wanted to close the door immediately, but it was too late, and Scarface, who took the lead, pushed him to the ground.
Dahl's emotions also became more excited after seeing the yodel who came out of it, and from his large number of words mixed with expletives, Ling Tianmao finally knew that that person was Dahl's father.
"You old immortal, how many times have I told you, get out of here, my uncle gave you money to ask you to go, if you don't want to, then don't blame us for being polite!"
"Our family has always lived here, why do you say you want to buy me, you must sell the land to you!" Dahl's father fell to the ground, but there was no sign of giving in and begging for mercy.
"Oh, this old thing still dares to talk back! A few brothers beat him up! Scarface said as he rolled up his sleeve and punched Dahl's father in the face.
Halfway through his fist, he felt someone grab his wrist, and when he looked up, he saw a human in a cloak. Since Ling Tianmao had been wearing a hood, he didn't recognize this guy as the person he had met at the inn today.
"Who the fuck are you! Can you take care of Lao Tzu's affairs? ”
Seeing that this guy's mouth was still not clean, Ling Tianmao directly raised his hand and threw him out. Although his own combat power is not strong, the human being itself has an advantage over the yodelers in terms of size and strength.
Seeing that the other party still didn't mean to get out of the way, Scarface waved his hand at several yodelers behind him: "Damn, relying on your size to bully us yodelers!" Let's go up together and beat this grandson to death! ”
This group of guys was not a good person in the first place, and when Scarface was instigated, they all rushed up with the weapons in their hands.
Looking at these guys who were holding wooden sticks and wanted to rush up, Ling Tianmao frowned, if it was Scarface's person, he was sure that he would drive the other party away, but with so many coming together, he was really not sure that he would be able to win the other party.
Of course, it is impossible to get him out of the way now, even if he is a person he doesn't know, he may not be ignored when he sees the other party bullying him like this, not to mention that it is Dahl's father who is standing behind him at this time.
Ling Tianmao sighed softly and reached out to grasp the stone in his pocket.
Scarface and the others were still wondering why this guy suddenly put his hands in his pockets and pretended to be forced, when they saw a circle of fire suddenly rise around his body, and the few wooden sticks that touched the fire were instantly burned into charcoal. The flames even burned Scarface's hand, and Scarface grabbed his flaming right hand and ran away with a few people.
"Thank you...... Don't know what you call it? Dahl's father had already stood up at some point and asked cautiously towards Ling Tianmao.
"Hello uncle, don't be so afraid, I'm not a bad person, I'm a friend of Dahl."
Hearing Dahl's name, he was stunned on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning:
"Daltha...... Are you still alive...... When I heard that there was a war going on in Ionia, I thought he was ......"
"Don't worry, he's fine, he's just too busy to come back to visit you, let's go inside, I'll tell you slowly."
