Chapter 187: Choice
Early in the morning.
Liu Rufeng looked at the fire burning behind him, and his heart was extremely heavy.
Just now, the few of them buried all the fishermen who died tragically. Before leaving, they set fire to the only thatched house, and with the destruction of the last thatched house, it was clear that the entire fishing village had completely ceased to exist.
Although all kinds of life-and-death killings are being staged in the Beichen Continent all the time, most of them are battles between cultivators.
It was the first time Liu Rufeng encountered cultivators slaughtering ordinary people who were powerless, and the expressions of those cultivators who treated fishermen like playthings made him feel extremely disgusted in his heart.
Although all the perpetrators have died, the bloody wind of yesterday's fishing village still echoes in his mind, making him feel heartbroken.
"Let's go!"
Liu Rufeng sighed softly, he seemed to be a few years older at this time. The four figures finally slowly left the fishing village and continued westward along the long coastline.
At this time, there was one more little girl in the team than usual, the girl's name was Niuniu, I saw her holding Liu Rufeng's hand, and her expression was a little nervous.
"Don't be afraid, big brother will take you out of here. Liu Rufeng looked at the well-behaved little girl and smiled slightly.
"Thank you, big brother, Niuniu is not afraid, Niuniu will be very well-behaved. The little girl blinked and said obediently.
The fat man and Ye Li on the side were also secretly surprised, they didn't expect that such a six or seven-year-old girl would be so strong.
Ten days later.
After a long journey, the group finally came to a lively village, "Lijia Village." ”
Lijia Village, although not large, is home to tens of thousands of people, for no other reason than because it is a traffic artery.
It is bordered by the North Sea to the east and the Phantom Sea to the west, which is a necessary stop on the way to the extremely cold places of the north.
The main road alone is nearly 10 meters wide, and there are many shops on both sides of the road, and there is an endless stream of passing merchants.
"It's so good that I've finally left the wilderness. The fat man yelled at the top of his voice, very happy.
"This village is not simple, it is better to say that it is a village than a town. Ye Li couldn't help but admire.
Liu Rufeng nodded, he was also secretly surprised by the prosperity of Lijia Village. However, based on the geographical location of this village, it would be strange if it was not lively!
Lijia Village, Longting Restaurant.
A corner by the window on the second floor. Liu Rufeng and the others sat at a table and enjoyed a sumptuous lunch, at this time, it was noon, the business of the restaurant was not bad, and it was full of guests.
"Let's eat!" Liu Rufeng smiled all over his face, and he kept helping Niuniu next to him pick up vegetables.
Niuniu's eyes are wide open, he grew up in a fishing village, the first time he saw such a lively village, the first time he ate such a sumptuous lunch, the first time he felt that someone who was good to him except his parents, and he was excited to tears for a while.
"Thank you, big brother. Niuniu stretched out her immature little hand, rubbed her slightly moist eyes, and then smiled at the corner of her mouth and ate happily.
An hour later.
Niuniu in the guest room of the restaurant was already asleep, Liu Rufeng exhaled deeply, gently pulled the quilt for her, and then left the room.
In the guest room of the fat man and Ye Li, Liu Rufeng pulled out a chair and sat down slowly.
"The little girl is asleep?"
"Hmm!"
"What are you going to do with Niuniu, take her with you, or?" Zhu Youcai asked.
Liu Rufeng shook his head, he originally planned to take Niuniu with him, but now he has changed his mind.
"I will arrange for her to stay in Lijia Village, let's go to Tianchi this time, not to mention the long distance, and it is extremely dangerous. Can't take him with you!" Liu Rufeng said his plan.
"Benefactor, you are right to decide, this may be the best place for her. After all, the way of cultivation is against the sky, it is better to let this child spend his life in peace. Ye Li said what he thought.
The fat man nodded, what Ye Li said was the truth, plain and insipid is true.
After some deliberation, the three of them came to a decision. They plan to settle Niuniu in this Lijia Village and find her a home.
"You guys rest first, I'll arrange this matter myself. Liu Rufeng said goodbye to the two and left the room, and he slowly walked downstairs towards the restaurant counter.
"Hello, what do you have to say?"
At the counter of the restaurant, the shopkeeper who was about forty years old looked at Liu Rufeng in front of him with a smile on his face, and asked very politely.
Liu Rufeng took out a bag of silver coins from his arms and threw it over. "Do me a favor and contact an honest family with no children nearby." ”
"What are you going to do here, guest?" the shopkeeper hurriedly got up, he had already collected a lot of room fees from the other party, and the young man in front of him actually ......
Liu Rufeng briefly talked about Niuniu's situation and the shopkeeper of the restaurant.
When the shopkeeper heard that Niuniu's life experience was so pitiful, he immediately gritted his teeth angrily and scolded: "Those ones are really not things." ”
"This young master, you are really a bodhisattva. If you want to believe me, leave the child to me. ”
"Oh, can you hear the shopkeeper's request clearly?" Liu Rufeng looked at the shopkeeper with interest. His eyes narrowed slightly.
"Ahem!"
"To tell you the truth, my wife is not able to have children due to some health conditions, so I have no children. The shopkeeper of the restaurant blushed and said his situation with some embarrassment.
"That's fine, you guys can come to my room at night!" Liu Rufeng said softly after thinking for a while.
"Alright, alright, I'll go tell my wife. The shopkeeper of the restaurant looked excited.
I saw him call a waiter and ask him to guard the counter first, and then said hello to Liu Rufeng and left the restaurant in a hurry.
Just after the shopkeeper of the restaurant left, Liu Rufeng also quietly followed and left the Longting Restaurant.
After about a cup of tea, Liu Rufeng returned to the restaurant with a smile on his face. At this time, Niuniu had woken up, and he gently picked up the sleepy Niuniu and said, "Niuniu, big brother is going to a far, far away place, and I can't take you with me." Would it be better for you to stay in this lively village. ”
"Big brother, don't you want Niuniu?" Niuniu heard that Liu Rufeng was going to leave her, her eyes suddenly turned red, and tears couldn't stop dripping down.
"Don't cry Niuniu, you're the most well-behaved, aren't you?" Liu Rufeng saw that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly comforted.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, Liu Rufeng frowned slightly, and then slowly got up and went to open the door.
Outside the door, two figures stood at the door, a man and a woman, the man was the shopkeeper of the restaurant, next to him was a beautiful woman, without thinking much Liu Rufeng also guessed her identity, it was obvious that she was the shopkeeper's wife.
"Come in. Liu Rufeng motioned for the two to enter the room.
"Young master, as soon as my wife heard that you were willing to hand over the child to me for adoption, she couldn't wait to come, you see, this ......" The shopkeeper of the restaurant was a little embarrassed, and his words were a little slurred.
They had supposed to come in the evening, but at this time they seemed to be in a hurry.
"It's okay, shopkeeper, let's go out and talk first, and I'll leave it to Madame and Niuniu here." Liu Rufeng winked at the two of them, hinting at each other.
The two of them have lived for a long time, and of course they understand what Liu Rufeng means, and they nodded one after another.
"Niuniu, you wait for me in the house with this aunt first, and I'll go and discuss something with this uncle, be good." Liu Rufeng pinched her little face and said with a smile.
At this time, Niuniu had stopped crying, and she whispered a whisper, which was considered to be a promise.
Liu Rufeng and the two left slowly, leaving the space to the shopkeeper and his wife, hoping that she would have a way to convince this little girl.
Time flies, and before you know it, night falls quietly. Just half an hour ago, Niuniu finally agreed to stay, and then left the restaurant with the restaurant shopkeeper and his wife.
Liu Rufeng has finally settled his mind since then!
At the door of the restaurant, the three figures quietly stared at the direction where Niuniu disappeared, stunned. This short half a month of getting along made Liu Rufeng a little reluctant in their hearts.
"Okay, like the wind, Niuniu has such a good home, it's better than following a few of us. The fat man patted Liu Rufeng's shoulder and comforted softly.
"Yes, benefactor, this is the best place for a child. Don't worry, let's drink together, and tomorrow we'll head to that very cold place. Ye Lidao.
Liu Rufeng nodded, exhaled deeply, tried not to think about it, and then the three of them returned to the restaurant together.
They plan to leave here early tomorrow morning and try to reach Tianchi as soon as possible.
