Chapter 48 The Bounty Inn
Zhang Mochen didn't explain immediately, but turned around indifferently, and then jumped onto the tree and took a nap.
The silvery moonlight continued to envelop the land, and after a brief fight, the space fell into silence again.
After a few moments, the girl seemed to regain a little consciousness from the fright, and was the first to speak to break the dull atmosphere.
"Did you save me?" the girl said softly, walking under the tree, raising her head, but there was still a hint of vigilance in her clear eyes like a mountain spring.
"Hmm!" Zhang Mochen replied simply with his eyes still closed, perhaps because he was sleepy, or maybe because of other reasons.
Looking at the thin figure on the tree, the girl hesitated a little, she must have taken the two people she took away, not to mention the tiger's back and bear's waist, which was also a strong physique.
As if sensing the girl's suspicious gaze, Zhang Mochen turned over, jumped down from the tree, and slowly raised his hand to the girl, and then a faint yellow aura gradually spread.
Seeing the only symbol representing the identity of the cultivator, the girl's knees immediately slammed into the ground, and the only remaining trace of vigilance was erased in an instant, and she said with some trembling gratitude: "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
Zhang Mochen helped the girl up and asked, "What is your name, why did those two arrest you?"
The girl wiped the tears that had fallen, and said eloquently: "My name is Lan'er, my grandfather is a hunter of the Li family, a few days ago my grandfather took me to Sanye Town to pay for the Li family, the young master of the Li family made a light move on me, but was resolved by my grandfather, I didn't expect him to dare to do evil things tonight." ”
Zhang Mochen bowed slightly, and continued to ask, "What about your father and mother?"
As if asked about the injury, Lan'er became even more sad: "I haven't seen them, and I have lived with my grandfather since I was a child." ”
Hearing that Lan'er has no father and mother, Zhang Mochen couldn't help but feel a trace of resonance and cordiality in his heart, he had never seen his mother, and his father, who had worked hard to raise himself, was also unknown at the moment.
"Well, I haven't seen my mother either. Zhang Mochen raised his head slightly and stared, and the heart-wrenching feeling of missing his family was awakened again under the full moon.
"The great kindness of the benefactor, Lan'er can't repay it, but now Lan'er has to go back, grandpa was injured by those two people in order to protect me, and I don't know the situation yet. Lan'er said suddenly.
"I'll go with you!" Zhang Mochen said with a slight smile.
"Really?" Lan'er asked, a little incredulous.
Looking at Lan'er's somewhat hesitant expression, Zhang Mochen shrugged his shoulders and said deliberately, "Why?
"Yes, yes, the benefactor can come to my house, that is Lan'er's blessing, benefactor, come with me, my home is not far ahead. After a moment of hesitation, it was a happy excitement in her heart, Lan'er said as she took the lead and trotted away.
......
After about half an hour, two blurred figures finally passed through a forest and came to a slightly dilapidated wooden house.
Lan'er didn't greet Zhang Mochen, but hurriedly rushed into the room.
"Grandpa!"
Zhang Mochen also followed. There are two wooden houses, and the interior facilities are the same as the exterior, and they look very shabby. The mess all over the ground and the faint smell of blood made Zhang Mochen frown slightly after scanning the room, and the resentment towards Li Ziya in his heart added a few more points.
Zhang Mochen then locked his gaze in front of a pile of smashed tables and chairs, and Lan'er was lying on the ground, hugging a pale-faced old man tightly.
With gray hair and deep wrinkles, the old man looked quite old, but because of his long years of hunting, his physique looked much stronger than the average old man.
Zhang Mochen squatted down and patted Lan'er's shoulder to comfort him while checking the old man's injury.
"Don't cry, your grandfather is fine, he may have been hit hard and fainted temporarily!" After a while, Zhang Mochen breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly.
"Really?" Lan'er looked at Zhang Mochen with rain. Grandpa is her only relative, but at this moment, the second sense of dependence in the girl's heart is unconsciously generated.
"You go pour a bowl of water!" Zhang Mochen nodded and said, taking the old man from Lan'er's arms.
After searching in the house for a long time, she finally found half a broken bowl in the corner of the wall, Lan'er couldn't care about being sad, and quickly fetched some water from the well in the yard and sent it over.
"Ahem, ahem......"
The throat moistened by the water finally had a voice after a while. Although it was only a few painful coughs, it made Zhang Mochen and Lan'er feel relieved.
"Grandpa!" Lan'er called softly, choked up.
"Grandpa is fine, Lan'er doesn't cry!" The old man forced out a smile, sat up with difficulty, and leaned against the wall.
"Who is this young master?" It seemed that he didn't see Zhang Mochen at first sight, and after the old man sat down, he suddenly asked Zhang Mochen.
"Grandpa, this is a benefactor, it was the benefactor who rescued me on the way!" Before Zhang Mochen could speak, Lan'er snorted and said with a smile.
Hearing Lan'er's words, a look of disbelief appeared in the old man's cloudy eyes, but in the next second, the old man endured the pain and bowed his head to Zhang Mochen.
"Thank you, young master, for your great kindness, how can my grandfather and grandson repay it?" the old man said gratefully.
"It's just a gesture, the old man please get up quickly. Zhang Mochen quickly helped the old man up and said.
After some conversation, Zhang Mochen quickly understood the ins and outs of the whole matter. The old man had no name, only a nickname, the old hunter, and he was a famous hunter. When he went to Li's house to offer money that day, Li Ziya had a lustful heart for Lan'er, and only then did he have today's matter.
"Old man, what are your plans for the future?" asked Zhang Mochen.
The old hunter knew Zhang Mochen's question. Today's incident, fortunately, Zhang Mochen rescued him, so there was no danger, but Li Ziya will not give up, and will definitely come to the door. Coupled with the death of two more subordinates, the ending will be even more unbearable at that time.
"Benefactor, there is also a hunter's house at the foot of the mountain, which is my shelter for hunting in winter, and I plan to take Lan'er there to hide!"
Seeing that the old hunter was ready to make plans, Zhang Mochen nodded slightly.
"Old man, I'll send you over. Zhang Mochen looked at the old hunter's still pale face and said.
The old hunter and Lan'er just wanted to refuse, but Zhang Mochen insisted: "With your current situation, you can't walk at all, so as not to have too many dreams at night, let's set off now!"
After Zhang Mochen finished speaking, he picked up the old hunter and smiled at Lan'er: "Let's go!"
The moonlight of the night gradually faded, and in the eastern sky, a touch of fish belly white lazily rose.
After more than an hour of night travel, the three of them finally came to a remote place. This place is less than a mile away from the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
After settling down for a while, Zhang Mochen looked up at the sun in a semicircle.
"Old man, Lan'er, you will hide here for the time being, and I will come to pick you up when I finish my business. ”
Along the way, Zhang Mochen had already made plans to take the two to the clan, but he didn't tell them.
After the old hunter and Lan'er glanced at each other, they bent down and clenched their fists at Zhang Mochen, and said gratefully: "How can my grandfather and grandson repay the young master for saving his life." ”
Zhang Mochen smiled slightly, waved his hand, and then turned around to leave.
The footsteps of the way forward suddenly stopped, and the thin figure turned back again under the guidance of the old hunter and Lan Er.
"Old man, have you ever seen a man with some gray hair, a majestic body, and a simple scabbard around his waist?" Zhang Mochen asked the old hunter, his eyes full of antiquity.
After a moment, the delicate face that was expecting surprise was once again occupied by loss under the helpless shaking of the old hunter's head.
Zhang Mochen sighed lightly, knowing in his heart that this method of asking for someone was like looking for a needle in a haystack, at most it was just luck.
"Young Master, if you want to find someone, I suggest going to the Bounty Inn to investigate. Just when Zhang Mochen's expression was down, the old hunter's words rekindled a glimmer of hope in his heart.
"Bounty Inn?" Zhang Mochen immediately asked with some excitement.
"Young Master, I don't know, the Bounty Inn is here on the way to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, at the foot of the mountain. The old hunter replied with some surprise, Zhang Mochen's ignorance of the Bounty Inn obviously surprised him a little.
Although as the young master of the Zhang family, he is an unborn boy after all, and Zhang Mochen has heard a lot about the outside world, but the bounty inn in the mouth of the old hunter has indeed not left any traces in his mind.
Zhang Mochen was anxious, and didn't ask any more, since he had a direction, Longtan Tiger's Den, he would know as soon as he went.
"Young Master, can you tell me the name?"
Looking at the hurried back that was gradually moving away, the old hunter shouted loudly.
Some of the voices of the old sand, with great gratitude, passed forward with the help of the wind. The galloping figure did not stop, but a voice drifted over.
"Ancient Shadow!"
