Chapter 16 Panhu City
After recuperating at the old fisherman's house for a while, Yan Yanfang's physical condition was much better, so he and Shen Fangli said goodbye to the old fisherman and headed towards Panhu City.
When the villagers first met them, they thought they were foreign tourists, and the waiters of the hotel warmly welcomed them outside the door, but due to the urgency of time, they had to travel overnight, and even the matter of staying in the hotel was saved.
It is said that there are many silver climbing fox monsters in the forest adjacent to the silver fox village, this is an ordinary fox mutated by purple mist pollution and fierce monsters, the silver fox has snow-white fur, claws are as sharp as steel needles, and more importantly, it will climb trees, and the silver climbing fox will gather together at night, staring at its big blood-red eyes, waiting for the arrival of the prey, as long as there is even a little movement in the forest under the tree, they will rush down from the tree in unison, tearing the prey with iron nail-like teeth.
The Silver Fox Forest at night is very dangerous, because this Silver Climbing Fox Monster sometimes attacks humans, for their safety, the villagers persuaded Yan Yanfang not to travel overnight, but Yan Yanfang thought that the size of this kind of Demon Beast was not large, and it was more than enough to deal with them by himself.
When a group of Yinpanhu demonic beasts surrounded them, Yan Yanfang admitted that he was indeed overconfident, he tried his best to resist one after another Yinpanhu who wanted to pounce on them, Shen Fangli also waved the golden staff to defend, but her strength was too small, and she could only keep dodging in the face of Yinpanhu's fierce attack.
At this moment, Tong Yanfang's hands suddenly felt a heart-piercing pain, and he realized that it was the effect of the poison pill that had passed, and his trembling hands shook the sword to the ground. He pondered, I am afraid that it will be difficult to break out of the Yinpan fox group if this continues, and a wave of anger burned through his heart, he is disgusted with his current self, he can't even save his own life, what else can he do to protect Shen Fangli.
The cunning silver foxes began to scatter their attacks, two of them were responsible for dealing with Yan Yanfang, they bit his arms out of blood, he struggled to use his fists and kicks to shake off the two silver climbing foxes, while the other stared at Shen Fangli, its feet rubbed on the ground, and then jumped up and pounced on Shen Fangli.
Hearing only a roar, the silver climbing fox that pounced on Shen Fangli was pierced by an arrow through its body, and fell to the ground without a sound, without waiting for her to react, it swished...... Sou...... Whoosh, several arrows shot from the depths of the jungle killed four or five silver climbing foxes, and the rest of the silver climbing foxes saw this and immediately fled.
"Are you alright?"
A tall, thin middle-aged man dressed in an animal skin coat and armed with a bow and arrows pushed through the tufts of grass and approached them.
Shen Fangli hurriedly came to Yan Yanfang's side, helped him take out the poison pill in his pocket, and fed him to take it. And patted his chest to smooth him, Yan Yanfang breathed a long sigh of relief, his face was much better, and his hands were no longer trembling.
"Thank you, sir, for the rescue. Yan Yanfang stood up and saluted the man.
"Silver-haired, blue-eyed, yellow-skinned. The middle-aged man dressed as a hunter looked them up and down and said, "You two are from the Wei tribe, oh! ”
"Anyway, if it weren't for Mr., I'm afraid we'd be unlucky. ”
"Little girl, stand aside. The man let Shen Fangli stand beside him, and he grabbed Yan Yanfang's hand to check his pulse, and after a while, he burst out laughing, "Young man, you only have ten days left to live, and the strange poison in your body is very powerful!"
"Yes, life and death are up to you. Yan Yanfang sighed and said, "It's just that before I die, I want to find a family for Li'er to take in, so that I can live up to my master's entrustment." ”
"Oh, I'd be interested in hearing what your relationship is with this little girl, tell me about it, and maybe I can help you." ”
So Tong Yanfang told him all the things they had happened along the way, and the man said with a smile: "There is an orphanage near Yuhan Lake on the outskirts of Panhu City, and I know the female director there, she is a well-known philanthropist in our Panhu City, and she is a wonderful person. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Let this little girl go there, and she won't have to suffer so much with you. The man took out the bandages and disinfectant from the medical box he carried on his waist, bandaged the wounds on his hands, and he skillfully wrapped the bandages layer by layer, and finally tied a knot, "I don't know what this little girl is going to do." ”
Shen Fangli hugged Yan Yanfang's leg with a crying voice: "Li'er don't go, Li'er should stay with Brother Ling, and Brother Ling should not drive Li'er away." ”
"Li'er, listen. Tong Yanfang squatted down and pointed at Shen Fangli with his finger, "The poison in my body will become more and more serious over time, if you can cure the poison in your body, you can naturally stay by your side and raise you, if you can't cure it, I will die one day sooner or later, instead of making you sad to look at my corpse, it is better to let you go when you find an opportunity." ”
"But...... Didn't you say that as long as there is hope, you will never give up. ”
"I won't give up, but who can guarantee that the people who treat me won't? Yan Yanfang wiped away Shen Fangli's tears and turned to the hunter-like man, who was cutting the liver of a dead fox with a knife, and after he took out the liver, he concentrated it in a film bag. When he was done, he turned around to leave, but Yan Yanfang hurriedly stopped him.
"By the way, I haven't asked my husband for his name. ”
"Oh, unfortunately, I'm helping the Wai people again, damn it. The man pretended not to hear Yan Yanfang's words, slapped himself twice, and left with a smile.
Panhu City is the second largest city in the Loberen Empire, second only to the national capital Shenfeng, is a famous harbor city in the empire, near the Garluo Sea in the Gulf of Lideyi built the largest military base in the empire, can accommodate nearly 100 warships and spaceships, from the Lideyi Bay can reach the front line of the war in only a few hours.
Locals told them that since the outbreak of the Second Civil War, the sound of ships and airships whistling through the skies of Panhu City had often been heard, and the Imperial army had set off to trample through the cities of the Dragon Federation.
Whether it is a commercial area, a residential area or an administrative area in the city, the regional planning of Panhu City is not much different from other cities, and the special feature is that the eaves of Panhu City are mostly glazed tiles, and wooden houses are the mainstay. Men in Panhu City prefer brown long clothes, while women like various styles of long skirts.
Shen Fangli, who is born to love beauty, pestered Yan Yanfang to ask him to go with her to the clothing street in the business district, she heard that the people of China wear a kind of clothing called cheongsam, and she was eager to see what was going on. Yan Yanfang couldn't help her, so he had to follow her, and the plan to go to Jiuji Hospital could only be postponed.
The carriage carried the two of them to the clothing street, and Yan Yanfang took out ten beluns from his coat pocket and handed them to the coachman, and then led Shen Fangli out of the car, he couldn't help but complain in his heart, ten beluns, why are the prices in this country so high? If someone dares to offer this price in Qidao City, he will definitely quarrel with him.
Shen Fangli happily broke free of Yan Yanfang's hand and trotted up on the street, because she had long silver hair, everyone on the street focused their eyes on her, she did not avoid the eyes of passers-by, and also hugged her hands and jumped forward, that posture was like saying, I am a foreigner, what are you curious about, rare and strange.
Yan Yanfang had no choice but to chase after Shen Fangli desperately to prevent her from falling. When his gaze swept over the passers-by, he realized that there was really something strange about this place, that there were women and children walking in the crowded streets, and that the drivers were all old men, so that it could be said that there was not a single young man to be found on the street.
"Welcome, chic clothing store. ”
A young female clerk in a white cheongsam stood in front of the store and saluted, her posture made Tong Yanfang swallow her saliva, and she didn't notice Shen Fangli who had already rushed into the store to look left and right to pick out clothes.
"Little girl, will you pick clothes?" the female clerk held Shen Fangli to prevent her from falling.
Shen Fangli smiled and said, "I won't choose, but I want to find a cheongsam, is there here?"
"Of course there is, this one on my sister. The female clerk said and pointed to herself, and then pointed to the cheongsam of various colors hanging on the hanger, "You can buy whatever style you want here, let your father buy it for you." ”
"It's so beautiful!" Shen Fangli touched the cheongsam on the female clerk's body and praised it, and Yan Yanfang, who was standing on the side, felt how embarrassed he was at this time, he couldn't imagine that he had actually become the father of the female clerk, was there such a young father? But he couldn't reveal the relationship between him and Shen Fangli to outsiders, so he had to pretend to cough twice and change his tone.
"Good daughter, when you grow up, will Dad buy it for you? You're still too young, and Dad doesn't have much money. ”
This time it was Shen Fangli's turn to be embarrassed, and she was not good at refuting Tong Yanfang's words, so she had to show a wry smile and hide to the side, leaving Tong Yanfang and the female clerk alone in space.
The female clerk said to Yan Yanfang while sorting out the clothes on the hanger: "You are from the Wei tribe, there are not many people from the Wei tribe in Panhu City, especially during the Civil War, the two of you should be more careful." ”
Yan Yanfang thought for a while and said, "We'll be careful, but on the way here, I have some questions, why can't I see a young man on the whole street?"
"Most of the adult males in Panhu City have been forcibly conscripted into the army to join the army, and of course we women and children are the left. ”
"Does your family have anyone on the front line, girl?"
"My boyfriend was captured as a soldier, he was going to propose to me a week ago, who knew that the war between the Empire and the Federation would come so quickly, but he promised me that he would come back and marry me when the war was over, so I could only wait for his return. ”
A trace of sadness crossed the female clerk's face, and Yan Yanfang knew that he had asked a question that he shouldn't have asked, so he apologized and pulled Shen Fangli away.
"Brother Tong, let me ask you, why did the Empire go to war against the Federation? If there was no war, the female clerk and her boyfriend would not have been separated. Shen Fangli raised her lowered head and asked in a low voice.
"Because of greed, in the face of cruel war, the greed of human nature is exposed. ”
Shen Fangli lowered her head again, she still couldn't understand Yan Yanfang's words, she only hoped that there would be a peaceful world in the future.
