Chapter 120: An Ordinary Businessman
And so the day passed.
By the time Natsuzo woke up, it was already late at night.
Wu Yao smiled and sat at the head of the bed looking at Xia Zuo, and said, "Finally woke up?" Fortunately, you don't have any fatal injuries on your body, and after a few days of cultivation, you should be able to get out of bed and walk." ”
Natsuzo struggled to sit up. He felt his head still a little dizzy, and the wound in his lower back and abdomen could still feel the stinging pain. Xia Zuo looked at Wu Yao and asked, "Where is this, who are you?"
"My name is Wu Yao, and I'm just an ordinary merchant in Twin Moon City. Now you are in the basement of my shop. ”
"Merchant......" Xia Zuo wanted to rub his somewhat sore head, but felt that his arm was a little weak, so he had to give up: "Then why am I here?"
"Because you're being hunted down, I asked my men to get you back. ”
"Hunt and kill...... So what's going on outside now?" Xia Zuo gradually remembered what had happened before, and his face turned bad, he actually had a premonition of what was happening.
Wu Yao said slowly: "It's probably the same as you think! Last night, a small half of the nobles in Shuangyue City were purged, and your parents were unfortunately killed. In order to cover up the scandal of the royal family, the king directly characterized the events of last night as a purge of the rebels, and your Clark family has also been beaten into rebels. And those of you who escaped temporarily have also been issued a wanted warrant and have become fugitives that everyone spurns. ”
Although he was already mentally prepared, after hearing Wu Yao's affirmative reply, Xia Zuo's heart couldn't help but sting. The expression on his face was also extremely unwilling and complicated.
But now Xia Zuo is too weak, he can't do anything at the moment, he can only continue to lie in bed, enduring the pain and entanglement in his heart.
"What about Charlene? do you know how she is?" asked Xia Zuo in a low voice, his voice trembling a little, and his tone was very tangled, afraid that the answer he received was not what he wanted.
"Your sister is missing now, but if you really want to know, I can tell you that she's on the outskirts of the city, so she should be hanging out with Witch Lin, right? ”
"Witch Lin......" Xia Zuo turned his head to look at Wu Yao and asked, "How do you know this?"
Wu Yao opened the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile: "In this world, there is nothing I don't know. I forgot to tell you that, in addition to doing a little business, I also occasionally tell fortunes for others, and you can understand fortune telling as the prophecy of the prophet in your concept. ”
Prophecy?
Xia Zuo felt more and more suspicious of Wu Yao, a guy with a strange style of dressing. After all, prophecy, prophets, or something is very much like the usual path of street swindlers.
So Xia Zuo asked vigilantly, "What is your purpose?"
"You're refreshing, I just like to talk to smart people like you. I have my purpose in saving you. Because you, who are alive, are more valuable to me. So don't worry, heal your wounds first, and I'll find someone to take care of you." As he spoke, Wu Yao called Xiu, who had been squatting at the door for a long time, but had been refusing to come in.
"You should know this guy, right? Let him take care of you, and you should relax a little. If there is anything, he will also be convenient to contact you for you. ”
Xia Zuo looked at Wu Yao and then at Xiu, the expression on his face was a little subtle, as if he was speculating about the relationship between the two.
Xiu hurriedly explained: "Don't think about it, I'm just one of his tenants, I'm here to help him temporarily, ......" But as he spoke, Xiu's voice gradually became quieter, obviously lacking confidence.
Fortunately, Xia Zuo didn't care too much about this, so he didn't ask anything more. He just nodded slightly to Xiu and then lay down to rest again.
Suburb, near the moat.
The forest witches gathered outside their humble tents, handing out crude and simple food.
Charlene curled up in a ball, hiding between them. Her long blond hair was knotted, and her clothes were dirty, and her dirty robe was able to keep out some of the wind and rain.
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy walked past Charlene and kicked her with disdain: "Stay away, don't get in the way!"
Charlene was shocked, and her body shook violently, causing all the surrounding forest witches to laugh, and the expressions on their faces were also very hateful.
Charlene glared at them viciously, but tears flowed uncontrollably. She had to clutch her robe, which shrunk even smaller.
A woman saw Charlene pitiful and threw her a piece of brown bread.
Charlene turned a blind eye.
"Look at her like that, she still thinks she's the eldest lady! I look at her, it's not saved!"
The women pursed their lips and talked without hesitation.
The forest witches, who have been displaced and have no fixed place to live all the year round, have experienced the hardships of life. In their eyes, Charlene's last meager self-esteem was just the willful hypocrisy of the little girl's family. They all believe that Charlene will eventually have to bow her proud head to fate, just like them.
The night before, after Charlene was thrown down the sewer by An An, she desperately ran in the direction of An An's instructions. Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, but there were no killers along the way, Charlene finally found the exit to the outskirts of the city before dawn.
As a result, as soon as Charlene crawled out of the sewer, she found that the forest witches were all near the exit. Because of the heavy rain the night before, these homeless guys took shelter from the rain in this abandoned yard.
Faced with Charlene's sudden appearance from the ground, the Lin witches were taken aback at first. Although they didn't know what was going on in the city, they still planned to comfort Charlene first when they saw Charlene looking so embarrassed.
As a result, after Charlene found out that these guys were Lin witches, her attitude became very bad. After all, she had just experienced something like that, and it was understandable that her emotions would fluctuate greatly, so she didn't let the Lin witches get close.
At this time, an old woman stepped forward to calm Charlene's nervous and excited emotions, but Charlene didn't appreciate it at all. Then the old woman recognized Xia Lin, and the expression on her face suddenly became mocking: "Isn't this the eldest lady in Shuangyue City, why did she become so depressed?"
Charlene was shocked at this time that this old woman had seen it before. Isn't this group of Lin witches the same wave that clashed with her in the commercial street before?
The other Lin witches also found out that Charlene was the culprit who let them into the game last time, and their attitude towards Charlene also became sarcastic, and for a while, sarcasm, ridicule, and reprimands were endless.
Charlene didn't pay attention to them with a straight face, but just found a place to sit down and close her eyes to recuperate.
After a night of running and chasing, Charlene's body was already exhausted. She really couldn't run anymore, and now she just wanted to take a little rest and soothe the nerves that had been tense.
And although the Lin witches have been cursing and provoking next to Charlene, no one really came to drive her away. Seeing that Charlene was indifferent to their provocation, the Lin witches gradually stopped scolding, and left her alone.
After sunrise, the forest witches who entered the city came back one after another. They also brought back some news from the city, and naturally guessed what happened to Charlene.
And Charlene, after learning the exact news of her parents' death, her emotions finally couldn't hold on.
She had been in a hurry to run for her life the night before, and she hadn't had time to think about so many things. When she finally stopped now and could catch her breath, the bad news finally hit her heart, strong and shocking.
But in just one day, Charlene lost her parents, lost the glory of her family, and lost everything she once had!
This sudden bad luck made Charlene not know how to face it for a while. She didn't know if she would be able to survive this ordeal.
Tears silently slid down Charlene's cheeks, and she couldn't stop it.
Now she really has nothing.
