Chapter 1018: Begging for Food
Closer, under the tree, some people were sitting, some were standing, as if they were resting, a total of eight or nine people. Maybe the people over there also noticed him, and Lin Xuanzhong found that the eight or nine people all stood up and looked towards him.
I don't know if there are any high-level martial cultivators over there, Lin Xuanzhong continued to walk in that direction, and after getting closer, Lin Xuanzhong noticed that those people were all holding weapons, with a vigilant attitude. However, having come here, Lin Xuanzhong didn't plan to go back, he still wanted to go over and have a look. Maybe he suffered a lot of fierce beast anger in the past two days, plus he didn't rest well, Lin Xuanzhong, who was holding back a bad breath, was far more impulsive than usual.
At the same time, the few people over there became more and more cautious, in their opinion, Lin Xuanzhong was at least a high-level martial cultivator, otherwise he would not approach them alone.
"Who are you, why are you here?" When Lin Xuanzhong approached, the faces of those martial cultivators relaxed one by one, and after seeing that Lin Xuanzhong was only a sixth-order martial cultivator, one of the young men asked with an unkind expression.
"What do you have to eat, I haven't eaten for almost a day!" Although he was a little embarrassed, Lin Xuanzhong still said what was in his heart in front of so many people.
"Get out, we don't have anything extra for outsiders to eat," maybe Lin Xuanzhong spoke too directly, and the man who asked just now replied like a fool.
"He seems to be the life-saver that Zhang Shuo said," and then a young woman said a little nervously as Lin Xuanzhong was about to get angry at the other party's response.
Saying this, everyone else remembered what their companion had said before, and that companion of theirs was Zhang Shuo who Lin Xuanzhong had saved.
"Are you Zhang Shuo's life-saving benefactor?" Immediately after, the elder at the head looked at him with a puzzled face.
"I don't know Zhang Shuo," Lin Xuanzhong, who saw that the other party had no intention of helping, and didn't want to endure these strange glances, turned around and left.
"Little brother, since you saved Zhang Shuo, your request Zhang will naturally not refuse," Seeing that Lin Xuanzhong was indeed alone, and the scabbard he was still holding in his hand was no different from what Zhang Shuo described, the old man's gaze softened directly.
In his opinion, it was good for a lone martial artist like Lin Xuanzhong to be able to keep the scabbard, but the old man was a little suspicious that this seemingly ordinary Lin Xuanzhong could really fight one against three, and the three people who still fought were powerless. After a brief glance at Lin Xuanzhong, the old man looked at the woman who was helping Lin Xuanzhong speak just now and said, "Xue'er, take something for this little brother to eat." ”
"Okay," after agreeing, the girl who looked young and very enthusiastic directly took off the burden she was carrying, and then took out a piece of paper wrapped in something, "Come, you eat!" Walking to the opposite side of Lin Xuanzhong, the young woman generously handed over the things in her hand.
On the other side, Lin Xuanzhong, who had already planned to leave, finally stopped because of the woman's enthusiasm or because of the temptation of food.
"Thank you," after saying thank you to the woman, Lin Xuanzhong stretched out his hand to pick it up.
"Slow," it's just that Lin Xuanzhong hasn't touched it yet, a sword has stopped between the two, and the man who spoke before said with a disgusted face: "Sister Xue'er, you put away the dried meat, and I'll take some steamed buns for him to eat." ”
While talking and laughing, the man's behavior was undoubtedly teasing Lin Xuanzhong, and the next time, Lin Xuanzhong's face was pale, and the evil anger held in his heart continued to give birth to an angry emotion. Then, when Lin Xuanzhong was about to have a seizure, the old man reached out and put his hand on the man's arm and directly pressed that arm down, "Zhang Ying, don't be rude." ”
After the old man gave the man named Zhang Ying a look, Zhang Ying took a step back indignantly, and then looked at Lin Xuanzhong with disdain. Under the watchful eyes of so many people, Zhang Ying's demeanor made Lin Xuanzhong a little embarrassed, but after the other party's elders came forward, Lin Xuanzhong was not good at attacking.
"Here you go," and then as Lin Xuanzhong pondered whether to take any more food, the young woman approached a little more enthusiastically.
"Little brother, take it quickly, you saved Zhang Shuo's life, but Zhang has nothing good to repay you, a piece of dried meat to express gratitude. ”
Listening to the other party's tone, Lin Xuanzhong took the dried meat over with the situation. A few days ago, he ate the dried meat given by Wen Chengruo, and now he is no stranger to the dried meat in front of him, Lin Xuanzhong just wants to fill his stomach as soon as possible.
"Zhang Qi, bring some water," Seeing Lin Xuanzhong take the things, the old man immediately ordered a man next to him.
"Yes," Immediately after, the man named Zhang Qi took off a water bag pinned to his waist and threw it to Lin Xuanzhong.
"Thank you," After receiving the water bag thrown by the other party, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't help but think that he didn't need to leave in a hurry, at least he would return the water bag to others.
"I, Zhang Yu, don't know the name of the little brother?" Immediately afterwards, the old man asked again.
"Lin Feng. ”
"Lin Xiaoyou, if you don't dislike it, you might as well sit here and eat," Zhang Yu smiled politely, then pointed to a place under the tree, and then explained to the others: "You are responsible for your own affairs." ”
"Yes," the eight young men and women replied in unison, and then, as before, some of them busily walked around, and some sat on the ground to rest.
"I don't know who Lin Xiaoyou is?" When Lin Xuanzhong sat down and was about to taste the taste of dried meat, Zhang Yu on the side asked intentionally or unintentionally.
"It's inconvenient to tell you. ”
"Then Lin Xiaoyou is alone?"
"Yes. ”
"This area is full of fierce beasts and dangers, doesn't Lin Xiaoyou know?"
"I know," At the same time, Lin Xuanzhong's face was a little more impatient.
"The further south you go, the greater the danger, just when I saw that Xiaoyou was going south, I asked the little brother not to blame Zhang for saying more, the south is dangerous, and the little brother had better not go alone. ”
"Thank you for reminding," the other party may be a person who likes to talk, let it continue, I don't know when it will be the end, so after responding this time, Lin Xuanzhong directly sped up the speed of eating in order to leave as soon as possible.
"I don't know if Lin Xiaoyou is willing to go with us, Zhang is about to go back with this group of unpromising juniors. ”
"No, I'm on my way to Poison Dragon Ridge. ”
"Little brother, it's a real dangerous place there, no matter how strong you are, it's a life of death," From the impatience on Lin Xuanzhong's face, Zhang Yu could see that Lin Xuanzhong belonged to that kind of young and vigorous person. It is indeed impressive that a person of Lin Xuanzhong's age can cultivate to the sixth order of the Martial Realm, but Lin Xuanzhong said that he wants to go to the Poison Dragon Ridge, so it is not the words "young and vigorous" that can be summed up. If it sounds good, it's arrogant, and if it's not good, it's stupid.
Zhang Yu invited Lin Xuanzhong to accompany them out of kindness, but Zhang Yu didn't expect this to be the case.
"Hahaha, a sixth-order martial cultivator actually said that he was going to Poison Dragon Ridge, this may be the biggest joke I've heard this year, don't you say?" Before Lin Xuanzhong could speak, Zhang Ying, who didn't like Lin Xuanzhong at all, directly teased him, which caused a burst of laughter.
Because it is not far away, some people can naturally hear Zhang Yu and Lin Xuanzhong talking. Zhang Yu's polite talk to Lin Xuanzhong had already made them very unconvinced, and now Lin Xuanzhong actually refused Zhang Yu's invitation and said that he was going to Poison Dragon Ridge. Even if there was no extreme arrogance when he spoke, a sentence made them feel that Lin Xuanzhong was extremely stupid. Then, it was precisely because they knew that Lin Xuanzhong would definitely die if he went to the Poison Dragon Ridge, so they laughed one by one.
"Little brother, you might as well think about it more, Zhang can only say all that," Seeing that Lin Xuanzhong was no longer silent, Zhang Yu didn't want to be bored, so he got up and left directly after saying a word. ”
"Well," Lin Xuanzhong didn't care about Zhang Yu's departure, because he didn't plan to get acquainted with these people. When he left the Winless City, Lin Xuanzhong had already thought that he was destined to meet many people on the way south, and there was no need to know them all, it was important to find the meaning of his life.
"Uncle Zhang, it's not good, someone from the east is chasing after you!" Zhang Yu just walked over and thought about why Lin Xuanzhong dared to come over alone to ask them for food, as well as Zhang Shuo's description of Lin Xuanzhong before, but two panicked figures suddenly appeared in the east position, and they shouted at them before they got close.
"Let's go," Zhang Yu turned around, and immediately beckoned the people around him.
In the blink of an eye, nine people were together again.
"Lin Xiaoyou, come with us," as if remembering something, Zhang Yu, who had already taken a step, looked straight at Lin Xuanzhong, who was still eating.
On the other side, when Zhang Yu and the others got together, Lin Xuanzhong had noticed that among the two people running from the east was the Zhang Shuo who had been saved before, and he looked even more embarrassed than before, as if he had fought with someone else somewhere else, but Lin Xuanzhong didn't have the heart to be curious about this.
"Thank you for your kindness, let's go," now Zhang Yu looked at him with a concerned face, and Lin Xuanzhong didn't feel grateful either, but wanted to wait for them to eat dry meat after they left.
"Uncle Zhang, leave him alone, he's just a thing that doesn't know whether to live or die," when Zhang Yu hesitated to persuade Lin Xuanzhong for the last time, Zhang Ying spoke again, with a sarcastic expression.
Looking at the anxious faces of the others, Zhang Yu turned his head and left directly.
Seeing Zhang Yu and the others leave, Lin Xuanzhong leaned leisurely on the tree behind him, tasting the piece of dried meat, not to mention how comfortable it was. When he wanted to drink water, Lin Xuanzhong realized that he had forgotten to return the water bag to them, but after thinking about it, those people brought a lot of water bags, and it was nothing less than one, so Lin Xuanzhong didn't call them.
Eating meat and drinking water at the same time is many times better than sitting on a tree trunk and staring at some fierce beasts.
