Chapter 275: The Big Chapter
Although she smiled happily, I felt inexplicably sad in my heart.
She has no relatives and lives on her own, and she is just a child. Other children of her age are basically still playing around their parents, and she ...... Just look at where she lives now and the clothes on her body.
Probably misunderstood some pity in my eyes, she smiled embarrassedly and said, "Actually, it's not my own name!" It was when I used to dream that I heard a big sister call me like this, but I didn't see her face clearly, and I thought the name was nice, so I ...... Hey! ”
I smiled and said, "When my uncle recovers, my uncle will take care of you, and from now on my uncle will be your relative!" ”
She looked at me, her eyes reddening a little again. nodded vigorously, and then said a little excitedly: "Uncle, you wait, I caught a fish from the river today, and I'll go and make fish soup for you!" ”
As she spoke, the little girl ran out in a hurry, as if she was still wiping her tears, which was happy.
I don't know where the woman in the bronze coffin threw me now, so I'll have to wait until my body has regained its strength.
After two days here, I have recovered a lot of physical strength and can at least get out of bed.
In the two days, I only ate the fish soup that I had boiled once, and the rest of the time I ate some soup made of wild vegetable roots. Nan Nan seems to have become accustomed to this kind of life, and although the wild vegetable roots are bitter and difficult to swallow, she still eats them with relish.
In her words, being able to eat enough is already the greatest happiness, and there is no need to ask for anything more.
The fish soup that boiled that time. The fish was a half-dead little fish she had picked up by the river, and it didn't really taste good, but she was satisfied. He gave me most of the fish in the soup and secretly ran to the side to chew the fish bones and licked the last bit of soup clean.
I feel very uncomfortable in my heart, it's not as simple as touching pity, it's a feeling of really treating her as a relative.
After regaining my mobility, I stepped out of my humble hut. Came outside.
It was on the edge of a remote river, and I could faintly see a city in the distance, and after regaining my mobility, the first thing I did was to find a branch that was relatively handy, sharpen the end of the branch, and then go to the river to catch fish.
Although the strength is not very great now, it is much stronger than Nannan, after tossing for a while. Two fatter big fish were inserted into the river, which made the women on the shore jump and jump excitedly.
One was roasted, the other was stewed in fish soup, and after eating a beautiful meal, the little girl rubbed her belly and hummed there, looking very satisfied.
Contentment and happiness, for her, being able to eat is the greatest happiness!
I followed her example and lay by the river. He smiled and asked, "Nannan, is it okay for my uncle to take you into the city?" The conditions here are too hard, uncle ......"
"Don't!" Nan Nan shook her head, pouted and said, "I used to be so hungry, I went to the city to find food, the dogs there were so fierce, I was almost bitten by them!" ”
I was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where did you find food?" ”
"It's the back of the restaurant!" Xiao Nan seemed to recall something delicious, swallowed her saliva, blinked her eyes wide, and said: "A lot of delicious food has been put into a big bucket, a lot of wild dogs are competing there, I can't grab them, but I have eaten half a steamed bun, it's really delicious......"
Hearing her say this, and looking at the yearning on her face, I was not only sad, but my nose was also sour, and I blinked my eyes vigorously to prevent tears from flowing out.
The place she said should be the place where some restaurants pour those leftovers!
I really can't help but think about that image.
"Uncle, what's wrong with you? Eyes so red? The little girl looked at me with curiosity in her eyes.
"It's nothing, sand in my eyes!" I rubbed my eyes, and then said to the little girl with a smile: "Let's go into the city, don't be afraid, with your uncle here, those wild dogs don't dare to bully you." In the future, my uncle will let you live a good life, and I will take you to eat all the food in the city, and I believe in my uncle! ”
She looked at me, her big eyes flickering, and finally nodded fiercely. Said firmly: "I believe in uncle! ”
I stood up with a smile, rubbed her head, took her hand and said, "Let's go, let's go into town!" ”
It's not far from that city, and there are no monsters and ghosts, so Xiao Nan can always live here safe and sound. But no one can say whether there will be beasts passing by here in the future, I only have a little strength now, without the slightest strength, no different from an ordinary youth, let alone protect her, self-protection is a problem.
The city is safe, and the city will be much safer than here.
In this world, basically there are sects behind large stations such as cities, and this city is obviously no exception, so naturally there is no need to worry about those monsters and ghosts.
Xiao Nannan and I are dressed in tatters, and fortunately there are no city guards at the city gate here, otherwise the two of us would definitely not be able to enter the city.
After entering the city, many people saw our dirty appearance, and they all had a very disgusted and disgusted expression.
The little girl held my hand tightly, her small body trembled a little, she didn't dare to look at the eyes of those people, she looked very scared. It's carefree outside, but after coming to a crowded place. Such a gaze is like a sharp arrow, although she is young, but she knows a lot of things, and there is a feeling of fear.
I felt her trembling, hugged her directly, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, just treat those people as air!" ”
"Uncle, I want to go home!" The little girl said timidly in my ear.
That quiet little river. The simple leaky house, although it was miserable there, she was very happy there. When she came here, she was scared in the face of the disgusting eyes of those people, perhaps even more frightened than when she had been chased by those wild dogs.
I gently rubbed her head and said softly, "Don't worry, when my uncle makes money and dresses you up beautifully, no one will dare to look at you like this in the future!" ”
I hugged her, ignoring the disgusted and disgusted eyes of the people in the city, comforted her, and walked forward.
Originally, I wanted to find a random job in this city to do chores and earn some money to gain a foothold here first, but in those inns and other places, before we could walk in, some people took us out as Hanako.
After a long time, the little girl in my arms rubbed her stomach, looked at me pitifully, and said, "Uncle, you are hungry!" ”
I smiled reluctantly and said to her, "Good girl, uncle will be able to find a job soon, bear with me...... Pregnant! ”
At this moment, I saw a shop not far ahead, and when I saw the sign on the store, my eyes lit up and I strode towards it.
Loose Sect!
This shop is a shop set up here by a sect, although I haven't heard of this sect, but it doesn't matter, I've already thought of a way to make money.
As soon as I walked in, I was stopped by a young man in a milky white dress guarding the door, who looked at me with a frown. I looked at the little girl in my arms again, and said impatiently: "Look at what kind of place this is, if you want to eat, you have to go!" ”
I coughed lightly, looked at him, and said in a deep voice: "Business comes to the door, that's how you Xiaoyao Sect treats guests?" ”
Hearing me say this, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and looked at me a little suspiciously.
If he really asked Hanako to beg for food or something, he would never want me to talk to him in such a tone.
"You?" He looked at me, still frowning, and said, "What kind of business?" ”
"Call out your stewards, you can't be the master!" I said with a stinging sting.
The shop was small, and there were a few customers in it who glanced at us, some of them with disdain and disgust on their faces, and some of them looked at us with blank faces and turned their heads away from us.
Probably my words stimulated the young man's little self-esteem, he snorted angrily, pushed me, and said viciously: "Go, go, don't make trouble here, you still want to see our deacon, who do you think you are!" Get out of here, or I'll do it! ”
It is said that Hades is easy to see little ghosts, and I am indeed a little helpless about this young man who has a little temper and does not have much strength.
At this moment, a middle-aged man holding a feather fan walked out of the store, glanced at me, and said nonchalantly, "What are you looking for me?" ”
"Deacon!" The young man hurriedly saluted the middle-aged man and said, "This guy is just making trouble......
"Needless to say, I already heard it just now!" The middle-aged man shook his feather fan, looked at me, and said lightly: "If you really come to make trouble." I'll let you know what happens if you run here and make trouble! ”
I looked at him and said in a deep voice: "A rune, there is a corresponding formula, do you want to buy it?" ”
When I said this, the deacon and the young man were stunned, and then looked at me a little strangely, probably not believing that I could come up with any runes!
Although I don't have any strength now, I can feel that the strength of this so-called deacon is not very good, and he is about the same as the outer disciples of some major sects. Come to think of it, if it was a stronger sect disciple, how could he arrange to sell some junk pills here!
I just glanced at the things in the store, they are indeed too rubbish, maybe these things are scraps and defective products made by this so-called Xiaoyao Sect, and then brought here to sell to ordinary people. After all, even if the pill or the like is rubbish, it still has a little effect on ordinary people.
"What runes?" The deacon looked at me in a slightly different tone than before.
"Five Thunder Talismans!" I said lightly.
It's not a rune that is too advanced, it can drop five thunderbolts, and it can barely kill powerful ghosts, of course, this is only possible on the basis of a certain Dao technique.
I can draw it now, but I can't do it, but this deacon should be able to!
When I said this, a glint flashed in the deacon's eyes. looked at me with burning eyes, and said in a somewhat hurried tone: "Really? ”
With his status, he can't come into contact with such runes in the Xiaoyao Sect for the time being!
"Give me pen and paper!" I whispered.
I didn't dare to come up with any too powerful runes, mainly because I was afraid that this guy would have bad intentions, so I said this. And at this time, I also made a low-key master demeanor, so that he could be more or less afraid of it after a while, so that he would not directly covet my rune.
"Follow me!" The deacon hurriedly spoke, then turned around and walked in the direction of the backyard, and I followed with the little girl in my arms.
When he came to the backyard, the deacon took out blank talisman paper and ground cinnabar brushes and placed them on the stone table in the courtyard.
I took a deep breath, held the little girl in one hand, held the brush in the other, the pen walked the dragon, the iron drew a silver hook, and soon drew a complicated rune on the blank rune paper.
Seeing that I had drawn a more complicated rune so quickly, the deacon looked at me with a wry smile and said in a strange tone: "Senior, you are making fun of me!" The power of this drawing talisman is obviously ......."
"Oh, take it, you can test it yourself!" I interrupted him lightly, handed him the rune, and told him a few words of the rune, in the style of a master.
Actually, I'm a little nervous, a little worried that this guy will test me or something, and if that's the case, I'll be exposed all of a sudden.
After taking the rune in my hand and hearing the few words of the charm I said, although the deacon is not strong, he has a lot of knowledge, and said with a wry smile: "No need, no need to try, the power of this rune of the predecessor must be extraordinary, I don't know how the predecessor wants to trade......"
"Let's try!" I interrupted him again and said in a low voice, "See for yourself how powerful this talisman is, and then we'll talk about the transaction!" ”
Listening to what I said so simply, he didn't say anything more, and directly cast the method of the rune, recited the charm in his mouth, and shook his hand to throw the rune out.
The "Boom, Boom, Boom......" talisman disintegrated in the air. Turned into five finger-thick electric rays, directly splitting a large pit several meters in the courtyard.
If his strength could be a little stronger, the power of this Five Thunder Talisman would be even greater, but even so, the deacon was trembling with excitement.
"Senior, these five thunder talismans are really too strong!" He looked at me excitedly, and there was no previous indifference or contempt in his eyes, but a deep sense of awe.
I nodded, and said in a casual tone, "My little niece and I have traveled through the mountains and rivers, and we are going to live in this city for a while, but we don't have any money on me......
"One thousand taels of silver, I'll prepare it for my seniors right away!" He looked at me and said cautiously, "This is the maximum limit I can use, I wonder if my predecessors are satisfied?" ”
I muttered deliberately and nodded. sighed lightly: "That's it, it's cheap for you!" ”
The deacon suddenly said excitedly: "Senior, wait a minute, I'll come when I go!" ”
After the deacon left, I looked at the little girl who was a little stunned in my arms, pinched her dirty face, and said with a smile: "Wait a while, uncle will take you to buy new clothes and eat delicious food, are you happy?" ”
"Hmm!" She smiled and nodded, looking very bright.
After a while, I walked out of the shop with the little girl in my arms, and the deacon sent us out respectfully. One thousand taels of silver is too much and too heavy, so I directly asked him to replace all of them with gold leaves, which is easy to carry.
When I was about to leave, I glanced back at him, pretended to be casual, and said, "I've been a little lost in traveling through the mountains and rivers during this time, where is our place in the land of Shenzhou?" ”
He was stunned for a moment, didn't have any suspicions, and hurriedly said respectfully: "We are here on the border of Dongzhou, and we are approaching the northern frontier!" ”
Hearing him say this, I sighed in my heart.
Damn, if you want to go back to the northwest, you still need to cross the big area in the north! Based on my current state, I guess I didn't go far before I was torn apart by those monsters and ghosts on the road!
Looks like we're only going to be here for a while!
