Chapter Twenty-Seven—The Village Hero
After completely confirming that the wolves had fled, Ling Yun squatted down and slowly collected things from the wolf corpse.
Wolf skins, wolf teeth, these things still have value for Ling Yun.
Although it can't be used to exchange for spirit stones, he doesn't lack such things as spirit stones now.
It is also acceptable to exchange these things for copper coins, gold and silver.
The wolf corpse on the snow still had a little body temperature, and Ling Yun stabbed it again and again, stabbing him to death and then scavenging it from the wolf corpse, not because he was pitiful or kind-hearted, but just in case.
If a hungry wolf pretends to be dead and then takes the opportunity to sneak attack, it is not easy to deal with.
"In this world, all people, all living beings are trying to live, trying to prove their existence. Life and death may be important to me, but it's really exciting for some people who see things outside of their bodies as important. ”
"Fortunately, this is still a small pack, if it was a large pack, I would probably be lying on the ground now. Ling Yun kept recalling the operations during the fight, and felt more and more that as long as there were enough of them, it would be the biggest threat to his life.
The more experienced the hunter, the less likely he is to fight a beast in adverse conditions. Because they are able to clearly recognize their own shortcomings and shortcomings, and clearly recognize where the gap between the strength of the enemy and the enemy is.
"I'm too slow right now, and I don't have any special detection techniques, which makes me feel bad. ”
If he had a special means of reconnaissance this time, he would have been able to avoid it far away, or ambush the wolves in advance. to the point of reducing losses.
"Not having the means to do it is like getting stuck in your throat. Where will there be investigative means?"
Ling Yun was constantly thinking about his next move, calculating who would have the means to investigate.
After a while, all the booty was collected by him, packed in a bag, and carried on his back.
The wolf corpse naturally stayed in place, waiting to be covered by wind and snow, and Ling Yun didn't have the energy to take the wolf corpse away.
Back in the village, they recognized Ling Yun at first sight.
"Wow, that's Ling Yun, the legendary cultivator, I want to become a cultivator too. ”
"Really, it's Lingyun. ”
"You see he has a bag on his back, still dripping blood, is he going out to hunt hungry wolves?"
"It's him, it's definitely him, he's willing to hunt hungry wolves for us. ”
"Not necessarily, maybe it's just a coincidence. If I were a cultivator, I would definitely do better than him. ”
Lingyun walked all the way into the village, although there were few pedestrians on the road, but when they heard the movement, they all went out, looking at such a scene, some people admired, some people envied, and some people were jealous.
"Lingyun ......" Ji Wuming didn't know when he appeared in the distance, and shouted Lingyun.
"What's the matter?" Ling Yun looked at the village chief in front of him.
In this winter, wearing a fur coat, a fur hat on his head, and unknown fur gloves, Ling Yun was just a single coat or two.
Ji Wuming looked at this young man, watched him grow up since he was a child, watched him become a cultivator, watched him become a hero, and now watched him continue to grow stronger.
"Do you know what happened to the wolves lately? The wolves are starting to gather in large numbers. Ji Wuming's eyes were a little complicated.
"Yes. Ling Yun nodded.
"This time the imperial court sent a message, let us hide on our own, the imperial court will send an elite army to attack the wolf's den. I have repeatedly requested the Imperial Court to transfer the village, but the Imperial Court has not replied. ”
"I think we can't rely on the court anymore, we have to rely on ourselves. You are the only cultivator in our village, and the only trustworthy person in our village, I hope you will try to go out as much as possible during this time to avoid any accidents. ”
Ling Yun looked at him and immediately understood what the village chief meant. He wants to make himself a so-called village thug, to be a substitute for death in the name of righteousness.
If they accidentally fall in front of the wolves, maybe they will make up for it in the back, so that the will of the whole village can really rise. If you really block the wolves, then at most you can just give greetings, a thankless task.
Seeing that Ling Yun didn't speak, Ji Wuming continued, "I also understand that this will damage your reputation, so this is the spirit stone we gave you, I hope you accept it." ”
Handing a bag of spirit stones to Ling Yun, Ling Yun weighed it, more than twenty pieces.
"So my reputation is only worth twenty spirit stones?" Ling Yun smiled.
"This is our heart, I hope you accept it, and it really has nothing to do with us whether you die or not. Ji Wuming frowned, he was very dissatisfied with Ling Yun's attitude.
His family property is all his own to get back, shouldn't he be grateful to himself?
"They need me now only because of my heroic deeds, as an uplifting presence. Ling Yun said in his heart.
The so-called reputation is not important to Ling Yun, but the spirit stone given for nothing has to be wanted. And reputation is nothing more than a big pie, full of lies and traps, and I don't know how many people have been trapped throughout the ages.
Heavy snow was still falling, covering the mountains and plains.
Ling Yun took the spirit stone bag and promised not to go out during this time.
It's ridiculous that these people rely on the existence of others to fight, and the so-called efforts need the identity and presence of others. In the end, it turned out to be working for others. ”
Ling Yun smiled softly and sang, "The snow rolls and the autumn flowers fall into the soil, and the wind dyes the frost and brings the cold winter." Why worry people can't know, sweeping the west mountains into winter. ”
He walked along, and it seemed that his steps had become brisk.
Pedestrians were in a hurry along the way, but he became more and more clear.
No matter what kind of villager it is, Bai Xue, or the village, it is just a foil for his lonely walk.
Soon after, he returned to his rented apartment.
Since the previous family property had been sold by him, he could only live in a rented house, although the environment was simple, but for Ling Yun, there were no other requirements. All you need is a place to stay in the village.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Ling Yun began to practice.
Although he also understands that his qualifications are very poor, unless he practices the magic skills of the previous life, but doesn't a cultivator just have to go against the sky? If he gives up after encountering a little setback, then what kind of cultivator is it?
In the evening, an unexpected man visits.
"Brother, is the big brother here?" the little girl stood at the door holding a green coat, trembling.
Pushing open the door, Ling Yun saw that it was this little girl. Ah, it turned out to be her, Ling Yun finally barely remembered that it was the little girl he accidentally bumped into when he returned to the village that day. I didn't expect to take the initiative to find myself
"Ah, it's you. Is there something wrong?" Ling Yun asked as hard as he could, smiling as kindly as possible.
He noticed what seemed to be not far away, the little girl's parents were hiding in the corner and watching.
"No, big brother, give it to you. It's a little cold this winter, so I've sent you a single one. The little girl plucked up her courage and handed the single clothes to Ling Yun.
Ling Yun took it with one hand and touched the little girl's head with the other.
"The little sister is so good, my brother accepted it, I don't know what the name of the little sister is. Ling Yun asked with a smile.
"Mom said that a girl's name can't be known to others casually, but the eldest brother is an exception, my name is Xia Ye. The little girl looked up slightly as if she had been a kitten.
"Then, my brother will thank Xia Ye, Xia Ye should go back early. Ling Yun responded with a smile.
"Goodbye, big brother. ”
"Well, goodbye, pay attention to safety on the road. ”
Ling Yun closed the door and hurriedly ran to the window, only to see a person with a similar figure to Ji Wuming watching not far away.
"Hehe, but that's it, do you want to use family affection to influence me?" Ling Yun sneered.
Perhaps looking at the current situation, the whole wave will last for a whole winter. If something happens and someone needs to fill in the gap, I want to stand up as a hero.
It's not that Ling Yun is speculating about other people with a harmful heart, but that things are like this.
