Chapter Twenty-Seven: Comparing Hearts to Hearts
After killing the tentacle monster, the city lord wanted to cut off its head, and as soon as he stepped forward, he saw the tentacle monster's corpse expand rapidly. It's going to blow itself up, but it's too late to back down. At this moment, the old man with the highest realm flew in front of everyone.
There was a "bang" and a wave of air knocked them to the ground. The old man and the tentacle monster had disappeared, and the tough guy of the city lord shed tears of chagrin. If you weren't careful, you wouldn't have lost so much.
Before he could finish his reflection, one of the two people who blocked the fierce beast herd with another "bang" was also forced to blow himself up. The rest of the people reacted immediately and hurried to support the other one. The other person was also extremely miserable, covered in wounds and internal organs.
"It's good that you're not dead, let's go, hurry up!"
The city lord and the remaining seven people quickly rose into the air and returned to the city, and when they returned to the city, it was already completely dawn. In the morning, the soldiers of the city saw that all the beasts had retreated, and that the rest of them had no effect. Just when everyone was puzzled, the city lord fell to the city wall with a group of people.
"City Lord. ”
"Quick, find a pharmacist. ”
The soldier was given the order and turned on his horse to find the pharmacist. The tide of beasts receded, and everything returned to normal in the city. What was originally a depressing atmosphere turned into a sad atmosphere. A few days later, the city lord held a grand funeral for these heroes who died under the tide of fierce beasts. No one organized, almost everyone in the city was there. Xiao Man and Cheng Yi were standing at the front, and he saw the silent tears on Cheng Yi's face. It turns out that it's not that they can't grieve, it's just that that moment doesn't allow them to grieve.
After staying for a few more days, Xiaoman decided to leave the place. Leave the city lord, and the city lord has to thank him. It was difficult to be gracious, but Xiaoman had to decide to eat before leaving. That night, a banquet was held in the Castle Lord's Mansion, and all the soldiers on the battlefield appeared at the Castle Lord's Mansion. The lord of the castle stood in the middle.
"We are gathered here today mainly to see off the little brother. If it weren't for the little brother, we might all be buried in the mouth of the beast this time. This cup is a tribute to Xiaoman. ”
"Cheers. ”
Having said that, Xiaoman can't help it. It was his first time drinking, and the hot sensation filled his mouth. It's hard to drink to be honest. Xiao Man's little face was flushed, this meal had been eaten for a long time, and everyone left in the second half of the night. Xiao Man just wanted to leave but was stopped by the city lord.
"City Lord, did you tell me something?"
"It's nothing, I just want to ask, the beginning of this beast tide was really discovered by your brother in advance?"
"yes, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, it's not early. Go back, get up tomorrow morning and go. So that everyone can say goodbye to you. ”
"Good. ”
Xiaoman staggered all the way back to the inn. It was late, he took off his clothes and wanted to go to bed.
"Little one, do you still have the heart to sleep?"
"What's the matter, Lord Flame Soul, I have to leave tomorrow and I can't get a good night's sleep?"
"Someone has compassion for you, and it's so big to sleep. ”
"Who has compassion for me?"
"Who was the last one to talk to you?"
"It's the lord of the city. ”
Xiao Man just wanted to say, but he suddenly thought that today's city lord was indeed a little strange. Why did he have to ask such a question in the end?
"He wants Xiaotian. ”
"It's not stupid to go home. Hurry up, there's your friend coming outside. ”
Xiao Man hurriedly got up. Put on his clothes and walked out, and as soon as he went out, he saw Cheng Yi pacing outside the inn with a wildebeest.
"Chengyi, what are you doing?"
"Xiaoman, you're awake, it's great! Listen to me, you go now. I heard the news that the lord of the city wants your dog. I know you don't have the same feelings as your dog, so I'm wondering if to go in and wake you up. After all, with him, our city can indeed detect the arrival of fierce beasts in advance. I.."
"Don't say it, you can lead the horse here and you're already a friend in my heart. ”
"Thank you!"
"It's me who should say thank you, it's not easy for you to do this with your heart. Let's go!"
Cheng Yi took Xiao Man to the west gate of the city, and the soldiers guarding the city also knew Xiao Man, and they had not yet received orders. So he just thought that Xiaoman didn't like the parting scene. The two went out of the city smoothly, and Xiao Man turned over and turned his head to say
"Chengyi, you go back. Don't be discovered by the city lord, our green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow forever. Goodbye. Don't die at the hands of beasts. ”
"So are you, it's smooth sailing. Good luck finding your way home soon. ”
"Drive. ”
Xiao Man left, and Cheng Yi stayed where he was until Xiao Man's figure disappeared completely before turning around and returning to the city. As soon as he returned to the city, he bumped into the city lord head-on.
"Lord of the Castle. ”
"He's gone?"
"Hmm. ”
"What a clever little guy. Chengyi, do you know what that dog means to us?"
"Yes. With this dog our city will be much safer, I just think it's really rare that he can help us so much with an outsider. If it weren't for him, we juniors would have almost died, including me. I don't think it should be like this, he saved my life, if the city lord wants to punish me, punish me. ”
"What are you punishing? Do you know right from wrong? Do you think your actions can escape my eyes? I want to get the dog too, but I'm afraid my conscience will hurt, so I've been hesitating. Fortunately, my heart didn't turn black with you, and I think it's better to be friends with him than to be enemies. Okay, let's send it back!"
Hearing the city lord say that, Cheng Yi was also relieved. The next day, when everyone was going to send Xiaoman, they found that Xiaoman had already disappeared. At this moment, Xiao Man is riding a horse on the road, and Xiao Tian is sleeping in his hat.
"Lord Flame Soul, are we leaving too hastily? We don't have anything right now. I'm hungry and I want to eat. ”
"You can't starve to death if the earth is so big. ”
"But you see that there is nothing around you, no mountains, no rivers. Do I eat the northwest wind?"
"I don't care what you eat, I don't need to eat anyway. ”
Well, he's right. He's just a spirit, and of course he doesn't need it. Xiaoman is hungry now, although there was a lot of food last night, everyone only cared about drinking. As a result, he didn't eat anything at all. There was no way, Xiaoman could only lie on the back of the horse and let Ma Sahuan run. It didn't take long for Xiaoman to fall asleep. It's also that he is so tired for a while, plus he didn't sleep all night last night. just fell asleep on horseback, and when Xiaoman woke up again, he didn't know where he was. All he knew was that he was now surrounded by a group of people, and the way they looked at him was a little unkind.
"May I ask you, big brothers, where is this place?"
"Stinky boy, you're finally awake. This is Wolf Rock Mountain, as for who we are. Hey, hey, robbery. Hand over everything you have valuable. ”
I'll go, and I've woken up and encountered bandits.
"Big brothers, I really don't have anything on me now. You see, if I go to your place, I can strengthen your power, and I can do chores for you. ”
"It makes sense, take it away. ”
So Xiao Man had no choice but to follow them all the way to Wolf Rock Mountain. Along the way, Xiaoman is honest and well-behaved, like a little sheep waiting to be slaughtered. None of these people would have thought that this guy was a wolf in sheep's clothing. All the way to their cottage, these people opened their mouths and shouted.
"Big boss, we're back. ”
"Did you get anything good this time?"
A large man sits on a stool, and the table is full of wine and meat.
"When he returned to his house, a child and a horse came, and they brought them with them. ”
"What the fuck do you want my kids to do? Can I eat or drink?"
Xiao Man's eyes turned green when he saw food on the table. In an instant, he showed a pure smile.
"Wake up, we have something to eat. ”
Xiao Tian in the hat moved.
"I said, kid, what are you laughing at?
Xiao Man ignored him, walked straight to the table, picked up the meat, and ate it in a big gulp.
"Damn, you kid wants to die!"
After speaking, the big man slapped him. As soon as Xiao Man lowered his head, he subconsciously punched him in the stomach, and the big man didn't take it seriously at all, how many catties can this little arm and leg have. Who knew that a punch hit him and directly knocked him down, and the big man curled up on the ground and was about to spit out the bitter water.
"Boss. ”
As soon as these people saw that their boss was beaten, they all geared up to teach Xiaoman a lesson. It didn't take long for a group of people to lie densely on the ground. The well-fed Xiaoman wiped his mouth.
"Why do you want to disturb me eating? I really don't have any strength to be a bandit, it's boring. ”
"This little brother is Wang Mou's clumsiness, dare to ask the little brother is someone sent by the government?"
"It's not. But I'm going to stay in your cottage for a few days, and I'm going to trouble you with the food for the next few days, is there a problem?"
"This.."
"Hmm. ”
"No problem, no problem. ”
"That's good. ”
In this way, Xiaoman, the two of them stayed in the bandits' den in the name of truth. In the past few days, Xiaoman has found that these bandits are not extremely vicious people, which makes him very curious. Good normal people who would want to be bandits, these bandits have no organizational discipline at all, and they usually have no training. It's just that two people will be sent down the mountain every day, and when they see prey, they will go to rob something, and the tricky one will come back and call people. Xiao Man found that they didn't want to hurt anyone, which is different from real bandits.
"Big boss, come here. ”
"Little brother, what's wrong. I'll do it all for you. ”
"Nothing, I just want to ask, are you really bandits?"
"Well, you've found it all. To be honest, we were also forced to go up the mountain. ”
Then the big boss told the story of why they were bandits. Originally, they were ordinary people in a nearby village, but in the past two years, the weather has been bad, and all the crops have died. Originally, the imperial court had a silver subsidy, but when it came to them, it was not much. The local parents and officials were even more ruthless and didn't give them a penny, so they had no choice but to occupy the mountain and start the robbery, but fortunately, there were merchants here and there from time to time so that they did not starve to death.
In the end, the big man burst into tears. Xiaoman felt a lot, and sure enough, the powerful were unreasonable. After this time, Xiaoman no longer had any disgust, and quickly mingled with these people, eating meat and drinking wine. He thought that these wild and unrestrained people were actually a little cute.
After eating and drinking for so long, Xiaoman also felt a little embarrassed. Xiao Man decided to teach them boxing, so the number one hundred and ten people followed Xiao Man to box, which looked quite spectacular.
