Chapter 1002: Idle Talk

"Originally, I wasn't worried, but in the past two years, many people in the town have moved away, but there are more and more fierce beasts around. If we can't move to a safe place as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will be dangerous to live here all the time, but with the condition of our grandfather and grandson, we may have to live here for the rest of our lives," Huang Lao's tone was quite helpless, as if he was complaining.

Although Huang Lao's appearance is quite strong, it still makes Lin Xuanzhong sigh. If you think about it, if there are only one or two reasons in the world that force people to die, it often can't be successful, but if there are three or four, it's hard to say. For the grandfather and grandson, the impact of the war may not be as good as the threat from the beast.

The Blue Kingdom had just been established, and it took time for the imperial power to be consolidated. In a short period of time, it is impossible for the grandfather and grandson to get help from the state.

Speaking of which, when he passed through Cloud City before, Lin Xuanzhong had already considered the lives of the people at the bottom. All kinds of bad situations can be imagined, Lin Xuanzhong thought that he could deal with them calmly, but he was still a little worried when he really faced it.

"Are there more people who have been in the army recently?" After a while, Lin Xuanzhong took the initiative to ask a question based on Huang Lao's previous account.

"There are quite a few," nodded, Huang Lao was really helpless about what Lin Xuanzhong mentioned. When the two cities came to recruit soldiers, the number of people in the town had already exceeded the number of recruits. Later, because the people in the town felt that they could only get ahead by joining the army, they looked up to the prestige of some people and did not want to live in the town for the rest of their lives, and some people took the initiative to join the army.

After one or two times, the number of young and strong people in the town was greatly reduced, so that the safety of the town was greatly reduced, and Huang Lao was extremely helpless when he thought of the current situation in the town.

And after getting Huang Lao's reply, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't help but think of some of the situations he had seen in the town before, it turned out that the people who were looking forward to it on the streets were all old people and children, and the people he saw later who went out hunting were not young, so Lin Xuanzhong could understand Huang Lao's helplessness.

Those who joined the army left their homes for personal ambitions, and although they were ambitious, they did abandon a lot. Whether joining the army is good or bad aside, their actions have put their relatives in danger. But after thinking about it, if there were no backbone people to join the army, a country would not be able to win the war, and the lives of ordinary people would be even more miserable, so there were many reasons for Huang Lao's helplessness.

"Now there are many people hunting in and out of the city, there should be no problem in the town for the time being, and maybe the imperial court will send troops to kill the beasts at a critical moment, so Huang Lao doesn't have to worry too much, life still has to go on as usual." ”

"What the adults said is exactly, the old man has lived a lot of age, he has seen everything he should have seen, and he will raise Xiaoxi well in the future, and leave other things to fate!" Under Lin Xuanzhong's persuasion again, the open-minded attitude that originally appeared on Huang Lao's face reappeared.

"My lord, don't just listen to the old rotten nagging, eat more. ”

After taking a long breath, Huang Lao's expression became more natural. may not have reached the realm of Hu Lao, but it is almost the same as Hu Lao.

"Xiaoxi is still young, let Xiaoxi eat more," Huang Lao said, and Lin Xuanzhong, who had not moved his chopsticks much, looked directly at Xiaoxi. At the same time, Xiaoxi's pair of small eyes were staring at the pot of brown rice, and it seemed that his mind was on the pot of rice, which made people laugh.

"By the way, I still have some buns, and if you don't eat them, they may go bad," said Lin Xuanzhong, taking down the cloth bag he was carrying and putting it on the table.

"That old man will take it hot for the adult!" After a period of conversation, Huang Lao already had a certain understanding of Lin Xuanzhong's personality, and he didn't think much about it at the moment, and took the cloth bag in his hand with enthusiasm.

"Okay," nodded in agreement, seeing Huang Lao slowly walk to the kitchen and light an oil lamp, Lin Xuanzhong's attention returned to Xiaoxi.

"Xiaoxi, you eat more rice, it's enough for me to eat two buns later, I'm not hungry," Looking at Xiaoxi's face full of childlike confusion, Lin Xuanzhong had the idea of teaching Xiaoxi martial arts, but he didn't know how long he could stay here, and he didn't know if there would be trouble.

Thinking of the murder outside Cloud City before, Lin Xuanzhong even thought of whether to take the initiative to tell his grandfather and grandson about the purpose of his refuge, or to spend the night as he said before, and leave early tomorrow morning.

"I want to eat steamed buns," Xiao Xi's hopeful voice interrupted Lin Xuanzhong's thoughts when Lin Xuanzhong's consciousness was a little flustered.

"Let the adults laugh, Xiaoxi hasn't eaten anything good since he was a child," Huang Lao, who was busy boiling water in the house, explained when he heard Xiaoxi's voice.

"It's out of the way, then I'll eat these rice," it's impossible to say that you're not hungry after a day of traveling.

"Thank you for your understanding. ”

"Huang Lao is not polite," he added a bowl of rice to himself and ate it, and ate a bowl of rice in three or two bites, and after eating three bowls in a row, Lin Xuanzhong stopped satisfied.

"My lord is really appetizing," After a while, Huang Lao came out of the kitchen with a pot of hot buns, and immediately praised when he saw that there was only one base left in the pot of brown rice.

"Let Huang Lao see and smile," Xiaoxiao looked at the buns brought out by Huang Lao, and Lin Xuanzhong, who was already full, had no appetite. But the stunned Xiaoxi next to him couldn't wait, and after Huang Lao put the buns on the table, he ate them directly with a hot bun in one hand, not to mention how much he enjoyed it. It turned out that it was so simple to make Xiaoxi happy, looking at it, looking at it, Lin Xuanzhong felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.

"Bastard, I don't know any politeness," On the other side, seeing Xiaoxi's unruly appearance, Huang Lao couldn't help but criticize, but there was no blame in his tone.

After eating four hot buns in one go, Konishi rubbed his bulging belly and stopped taking the buns on the table.

"I'm full," Konishi stepped aside after leaving the incongruous bench.

"Go get some water and wash up the adults," Huang Lao ate slowly, and said to *Dai Xiaoxi.

"Okay," said yes, and Konishi went to the kitchen to pick up things with a happy face, and quickly brought a basin of water with a temperature adjustment to the door.

"My lord, come and take a bath," Standing at the door, Xiaoxi shouted loudly to Lin Xuanzhong, who was still confused.

Xiaoxi's shout directly made Lin Xuanzhong understand that washing here is as simple as washing in the barracks, but there is less water.

"My lord, you wash first, if the water is not enough, I will add it to you, I don't have a big basin at home," When Lin Xuanzhong walked to the door, Xiaoxi greeted him very politely.

"Okay," Lin Xuanzhong didn't care about the water or the water, nor did he care about the heat or cold, but the light that shone outside the door was not strong, but Xiaoxi seemed to hope that it could be brighter and put the water at the door, which made Lin Xuanzhong feel embarrassed, so before taking off his clothes, Lin Xuanzhong first moved the water basin to a dark place.

"Big brother, you wash it, the water will be cold after a while," I don't know why Lin Xuanzhong took the water farther away, Xiaoxi only felt that Lin Xuanzhong was a little rubbing.

"You take my sword to the house and find a random place to put it," took off the sword he was carrying and handed it to Konishi, Lin Xuanzhong then took off his clothes and put them on the stool that Konishi had brought, and then began to scrub them. The conditions are limited, so you can only wash it slowly little by little.

After Lin Xuanzhong wiped all over his body, Xiaoxi put the sword and came out of the house, the weight of the sword was no lighter than a bucket of water for Xiaoxi. After pouring out the dirty water, Lin Xuanzhong asked Xiaoxi to help get another basin of clean water.

"Big brother, you are so powerful, you used up a basin of water at once," and after Xiaoxi came out with a basin of water, he couldn't help but sigh to Lin Xuanzhong.

"It's okay," maybe the two of them have different ways of washing, and Lin Xuanzhong is very helpless about Xiaoxi's sigh, after all, he is going to wash.

"Grandpa said to rest when Brother Lin is washed, I will sleep in the kitchen with Grandpa tonight, and Brother Lin will sleep in the living room!" After getting along for a period of time, Xiaoxi was finally not as nervous as when he first met Lin Xuanzhong, and he spoke more and more casually.

"Okay," Since Huang Lao had already made arrangements, Lin Xuanzhong didn't want to cause trouble for them, so he had to grieve his grandfather and grandson tonight.

Not long after, Lin Xuanzhong, who was only wearing underwear, walked to the bed under the leadership of Xiaoxi. It was hot, and there was only one straw mat on that bed. According to the size of the bed, one old and one young slept very well every day, and after a while, Lin Xuanzhong simply asked Xiaoxi to squeeze with him, and Huang Lao was about to be wronged.

"Adults rest early, I'll take care of the horses," blowing out the oil lamp in the living room, and after saying that, Huang Lao took another oil lamp and went out with a bundle of hay.

"Thank you Huang Lao," Huang Lao said, Lin Xuanzhong suddenly remembered that he only cared about his own meal, but forgot about the horse, and after thinking that he was too careless, Lin Xuanzhong hurriedly thanked Huang Zhanglao, after all, Huang Lao had been busy all night and had to help feed the horse, so he was really sorry not to go.

"Your Excellency, you're welcome, the old man is just idle," after a simple response, Huang Lao went straight out.

As soon as Huang Lao left, Lin Xuanzhong sat on the bed and meditated and pranayama. I don't know how long it has been, the calm Lin Xuanzhong no longer pays attention to the movement outside, and the yuan power in his body has also flowed smoothly, but it is thin and weak. There is less Yuan Force that can circulate normally than before the injury, and if the injury does not improve significantly, this situation may continue forever.

Considering the current situation, Lin Xuanzhong constantly tried to send vitality to the heart vein so that the injury could heal as soon as possible. It's a pity that with the continuous delivery of Yuan Li, there is no trend of getting better except for the pain feeling getting stronger and stronger.
