Chapter Twenty-Six: The Arrangement of the Nameless Elder?
When leaving the Heavenly Dao Academy, Lin Jue only quietly said goodbye to Youwei, Duyin, Xiao Zhuo, and Nangong Lin. And once again asks Twilight who the enemy lurking in the Heavenly Dao Courtyard is. The latter only said lightly: "Counting the eight in Nangong Mountain, there are still sixty-three people left, let's talk about it when you reach it." Lin Jue had no choice but to leave very depressed.
There is a long distance between Shuntian City and Tiandao Academy, separated by seven or eight cities, and at the speed of the two of them, I am afraid it will take two or three years to arrive. I had to ask the nameless old stalker for a bag of gold coins, and bought two good riding beasts in a market in Sky City, and traveled two or three thousand miles a day. Rao is like this, and it took almost three months for the two of them to finally see the gate of Suncheon City.
"Oh my God! It's finally here!"
Zhang Qingbai stood in front of the city gate, looking up to the sky and shouting. It attracted the attention of passers-by.
"Alright, let's go to the city. Find a place to stay and take a break. ”
Lin Jue was also exhausted, and just wanted to find a place to eat first and then take a big sleep.
Shuncheon City is worthy of being the capital of Ziluo, and people come and go in the city endlessly. The city wall is solid and towering into the sky, and the left and right sides stretch to the sky, and hundreds of guards in iron armor outside the city gate come and go to patrol back and forth, all with fierce expressions, and at a glance they are people who have been killed for a long time. Ordinary people just look at this
The battle was so frightened that his legs were weak, and who would dare to make a mistake here without knowing whether he was alive or dead.
As soon as Lin Jue entered the city, he was shocked by its prosperous scene, the four Qu and eight streets in the city were full of people, the main street was open and endless, and the houses on both sides were lined up, all of them were merchants doing all kinds of business, some sewing and selling clothes, some buying and selling powder jewelry, some copying and painting with others, all kinds of things could not be said. And these shops have one thing in common, they are all built of gold carvings and jade masonry extremely luxuriously, Lin Juedong looked at the west, and he was dazzled.
"Alas, no matter how good the place is, there are people who are not clothed and hungry. ”
Zhang Qingbai, who was walking in front, suddenly sighed for no reason, and Lin Jue followed his gaze. I saw a petite beggar, nestled in a corner in front of a merchant's door, huddled into a small ball, which did not look as big as a lamb.
Looking at the beggar's poor appearance, Lin Jue thought of his former self, whenever he was cold and hungry, he also liked to shrink into a ball, only in this way could he sleep a little better.
Lin Jue took out a gold coin from his bag.
"What are you doing?" asked Zhang Qinginn.
"Buy him something to eat, it's not good to be hungry. ”
"A gold coin! Lin Gongzi is really generous. I'm hungry too, can you be kind to me? Zhang Qingbai rolled his eyes and said.
Lin Jue shook the bag containing the money, and the gold coins made a clanging sound. "There are thirty or forty gold, and we will not die of hunger. ”
"Shhh
Seeing his nervous appearance, Lin Jue smiled dumbly, and then put the gold coin in his hand in front of the little beggar.
"Go buy something to eat and go to sleep. ”
Just as he was about to get up, the beggar stretched out his thin little paws, grabbed Lin Jue's clothes, and said without raising his head or opening his eyes:
"Get the money back. I am not a beggar, and I do not accept alms. ”
Lin Jue was slightly stunned, this little beggar's voice was like a swallow's whisper, softer and more charming than Nangong Lin's words, and it sounded very good.
"It's not charity, it's just me who gave it to you. Lin Jue said softly.
"I have never been treated as a human being. The little beggar continued.
Lin Jue smiled, it was the first time he had seen such an arrogant beggar.
"Then I beg you to take it!"
The little beggar finally got a little impatient, and it was the first time he met Qiang to give it away.
"I said why are you so annoying, you can't ...... it"
As soon as he glanced at Lin Jue, the little beggar's body froze. A pair of smart and watery eyes are brighter and more holy than any star in the sky, and at this moment, he looked at Lin Jue straight and asked for no reason: "Do you have brothers and sisters in your family?"
Lin Jue thought about it carefully, "There shouldn't be, why do you have such a question?"
The little beggar retracted his gaze and said with a somewhat lost expression: "You look five points similar to someone I know, I saw you just now, I thought he sent me to pick me up." ”
Lin Jue looked at the little beggar in front of him, and was a little surprised in his heart. I've never seen that beggar as good-looking as him, with a beautiful nose, fair skin, and finely carved facial features, if it weren't for the flat horse on his chest, he really suspected that this was a female beggar.
"Oh, it's nothing, then I'll take my leave. ”
Lin Jue said goodbye and led the riding beast to continue walking.
"Alas, Lin Gongzi is really kind-hearted. Giving money is demanded from others. It's not okay if people don't accept it!" Zhang Qingbai said as he walked.
Lin Jue heard the ridicule in his words, and only scratched his head in embarrassment, but he couldn't refute it.
The two searched in the city for a long time, and finally found a relatively small restaurant.
"This home should be affordable. Lin Jue looked at the door of the restaurant, it was not as luxurious as others.
"I can't afford to eat, I'm not leaving, I'm dying of hunger. ”
Zhang Qingbai held the door frame with both hands and said weakly. My stomach was still rumbling.
The two chose a location near the street, and they could watch the excitement while eating. As soon as the dish came up, Zhang Qingbai grabbed it directly, and sent it to his mouth desperately, but swallowed it directly without chewing.
"Slow down, I won't rob you. Lin Jue was afraid that he would choke, so he poured a glass of water and handed it over.
Zhang Qingbai took a sip of water and eased his breath.
"I've been miserable for three months, I haven't eaten a full meal, and you can see I've lost weight several times. I have to make it back." As soon as he finished speaking, he devoured it again. The appearance of the starving ghost made the guests at the next table stunned.
"The riding beast that carried you is really bitter, and I am tired all the way. After a while, I fed it and released it. ”
Lin Jue chewed slowly, drank tea from time to time, and looked at the crowds on the street, which was very pleasant.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
A thin figure in tattered clothes stood outside the restaurant, hesitating back and forth for a long time, wanting to come in but not daring to come in.
Lin Jue only smiled and looked at it, seeing how long he would hesitate.
The little beggar also found that Lin Jue was looking at him at this time, his face was slightly red, and he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and came in directly.
The waiter in the restaurant just wanted to open his mouth to scold, but Lin Jue waved his hand directly.
"That's a friend of mine. I'm sorry for you to add another pair of chopsticks. ”
The waiter glanced at the two of them, as long as he could afford to pay for a while, he had nothing to say, and immediately went to fetch a pair of dishes and chopsticks.
Zhang Qingbai was holding the leg of an unknown beast and gnawing happily, when he saw a person standing at the table, he said in surprise:
"Little beggar, why are you here?"
Lin Juewan smiled, poured a new glass of water and handed it to the little beggar.
"He's here to eat. ”
"Didn't I give you a gold coin?" Zhang Qingbai asked.
"I couldn't ask for something from someone I didn't know, so I gave the money to the beggar. ”
"What are you doing now?"
The little beggar was beautiful and quite reasonable: "My mother said that you can't take people outside, but she didn't say that you can't eat people's food." I'm hungry now, and I'm going to eat. ”
After that, the little beggar also unceremoniously started to do it himself. It can be seen that he is very hungry, and his eyes look at the delicacies on the table that are glowing golden, but he eats slowly and elegantly.
Lin Jue felt more and more that this little beggar was different.
This meal lasted more than three hours, and after eating, it was already the beginning of the day.
Fortunately, there are two vacant rooms upstairs in this restaurant, and the price is reasonable, otherwise they would have to go out and find it. Lin Jue hurriedly paid the money and went to the room to rest.
Originally, the two empty rooms were just right, and he and Zhang Qingbai were one by one, but the embarrassing thing was that the little beggar didn't say anything about leaving after eating, and followed directly.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Qingbai quickly locked the door and said in a loud voice:
"Whoever gets into trouble, cleans up by himself. I'm going to bed, sir!"
Lin Jue was helpless, so he had to take the little beggar back to the house.
"Can you go out for a while, I want to wash up. ”
The little beggar was like a mosquito and fly, and his face was a little embarrassed.
Lin Jue was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly got up and went out.
"Oh... Oh... Okay, I'll wait outside. ”
When the sound of rushing water gradually sounded in the house, Lin Juecai realized that it was all men, why should I avoid it, this little beggar is really exquisite. But since it's all out, let's just wait for him to wash it before going in.
But this waited for three hours until midnight. Lin Jue was already sleepy and couldn't stand still, and under his repeated urging, the little beggar opened the door and said with a whisper:
"Grooming must be ......"
Lin Jue only felt bitter, even if she was the most precious princess in the world, she shouldn't take a bath for so long.
But after this little beggar freshened up, he looked a lot better. How could I think that a man is good-looking, Lin Jue shook his head, driving away these messy thoughts that made him cold.
Next, the two of them faced another problem, the bed in this room was smaller than the one in the Heavenly Dao Academy, neither of them was as innocent as Zhang, and they could sleep if they squeezed it, but the two living people slept together for one night, even if they were both men, they still felt weird.
"Why don't you go to bed? I'll lie on my desk and spend the night." ”
Lin Jue originally wanted to be polite, but the little beggar couldn't hear it, and only said one word:
"Good!"
Then he lay down on the bed, wrapped himself in the quilt and fell asleep.
Lin Jue was stunned by the pestle, and he couldn't help but have a terrible thought in his heart:
"This little beggar can't be sent by a nameless old man, if it is, then life will be worse than death in the future!"
