Chapter 20 Waterfront Town

Above the entrance of the abyss cave, Murong Xue lay on the ground, staring in a daze at a place that had long been closed under the sand dunes, without a trace, in a quiet daze, only the occasional rumbling and collapsing sound from the depths of the underground and endless sorrows, the sound became smaller and smaller, until it calmed down.

Long... A line of tears from the corner of the eye across the cheeks, I can't see her expression clearly, I can't even hear her sobbing, I've seen too much life and death, and I've experienced too much nine deaths, these are nothing to me, but, why do you still leave tears, perhaps, it should be me who stays below, why not me...

On a sand dune in the Enchanted Wasteland, I could only see a woman slowly getting up, hanging her head, walking into the distance, her steps heavy and staggering...

......

Dozens of kilometers northeast of Zhenxing Town, there is a township called Walter, which is one of the few towns with sufficient water because it is located on the border of the magical wasteland and built along the river, so it is also called Waterfront Town.

In the waterfront town, the river runs through the main block from east to west, extending in all directions, the daily means of transportation of residents in addition to the carriage is the ferry, many families also rely on the ferry to transport passengers for a living, this small town because of the special geographical location and the Seymour River, business exchanges, resource supply is extremely busy, thus driving the development of the economy, many years ago was originally just a small village of Walter has also been transformed into a township, and continue to expand and develop, there is a tendency to form a small town.

On the side of the No. 23 auxiliary road in the main block of the township, there is a small two-story wooden structure building, and on the beam of the house hangs a plaque made of nanmu, on which there are three large gilded characters - 'Medical Art Hall'.

This museum has been operating here since the establishment of the town, and it has a history of more than 100 years. The owner of the medical hall has been passed down for three generations, and the current one is an old man in his eighties, known as Zeng Bo. The streets and alleys of the town are left and right, but whenever there is a three diseases and two pains, he will look for him, and when he meets a poor family who has no money for treatment, he will not take a penny, so the medical hall is also a little famous in the city, and the popularity is quite good.

"Su'er, slow down, slow down" A little girl lay on the handrail of the stairs on the second floor, slid down with a thud, and the old man's old and anxious shout came from upstairs.

"Grandpa, hurry up, if you don't hurry up, Brother Hu'er will be out of the city!" said the little girl who was called Su'er standing downstairs and jumping on her feet.

"Here it is, here it is," the old man promised.

Su'er looked at her grandfather, slowly walked down from the upstairs step by step, how could she have the patience to continue to wait, rushed out of the door with a smoke, and a crisp voice came from a distance, "Grandpa, I'll go first, you don't need it." ”

The old man saw that his granddaughter ran out of the door, but she had long since disappeared, and hurriedly said to the apprentice at the counter, "Qin Ming, hurry up, catch up, catch up with Xu'er, don't let her run around." ”

"Yes, master" The man named Qin Ming stood behind the counter and walked to the front of the counter in three steps and two steps, and then quickly rushed out of the medical hall and ran towards the outer city.

"Alas, this child, no matter what she does, she is so anxious" The old man stood at the door and looked at the two who disappeared far away, and slowly shook his head, if it weren't for the fact that this child couldn't bear to learn her ancestral medical skills and alchemist skills, she would definitely have achieved a lot with her talent, and she wouldn't have to spend a lot of effort to find two apprentices to cultivate and inherit the mantle.

......

Originally, the waterfront town was called the waterfront village, the small village was bounded by the river, divided into the north bank and the south bank, and later as the resources were explored, the major forces settled in, the houses on the north bank moved into the south bank, and the original shops merged into one of the main blocks, and the north bank was occupied by various forces, as a stronghold in the waterfront town;

In the early morning, a little mist rose on the riverbank, and the shops on the riverbank opened their doors one after another, the guys packed up their goods and prepared to open for business, the streets were bustling with people, and a little girl on the bluestone street on the south bank of the river was shuttling quickly in the cracks of the crowd.

"Su'er, slow down, it's still early" Qin Ming shouted at the crowd in the distance while chasing.

"Chasing your eldest lady again?"

"Hehe, yes, yes, I'm sorry for your trouble" Qin Ming replied with a smile while not stopping.

"Alas, this girl runs and makes trouble like this every day, I don't know how many things I knock over in my house"

"Haha, Aunt Sun, this girl is also weird and cute, she tosses so much every day, and everyone has a lot of joy, don't blame her"

"Yes, her grandfather has helped us all a lot, and we can't upset their family for this little thing."

"Ahhh

In the crowd, you and I said word by word, it seems that this little girl causes a lot of trouble in this town every day, but it can't stop the neighbors from loving her, and it is more about her grandfather's respect and reliance on their family.

Zeng Su while running, while not forgetting to pass by the morning stall, grabbed a hot bun, the vendor didn't even raise his head, continued to greet the guests, and started his own business, this is no longer known is the first hundred times to be like this while running while robbing his breakfast, and then he will definitely follow a young man to apologize stupidly, while taking out ten copper plates and throwing them to himself.

Sure enough, after a while, Qin Ming rushed by, leaving only ten copper plates on the wooden board, and the words that were already vaguely apologetic.

As the sun rises, the mist on the lake also dissipates, and the more you chase the outer city, the more pedestrians there are, there are merchants rushing to trade, students going to the academy, mages and fighters reporting tasks, soldiers returning from changing guards, and there are also demon hunting teams that hunt monsters when the first rays of the morning sun take advantage of the monsters to return to the nest and settle down.

Seeing that he couldn't catch up with Su'er, Qin Ming jumped over, jumped over the wooden guardrail of the street, jumped off the river, and galloped on the water, there were several small boats ferrying on the river, and the boatman rowed oars at the stern, humming fishing songs, carrying the merchants out of the city, but he was not a little surprised.

Over the years, countless mages and fighters have come to this township, and the advanced spells and body refining skills they have cast have shocked the ordinary residents here countless times, and they have long been numb to the point of turning a blind eye.

I saw the water splashing at Qin Ming's feet in the running, and a layer of light blue energy flowing under his feet, the energy flow was strong and weak, and the light was deep and shallow, it could be seen that his control was not enough, and the magic energy was also insufficient, and after a while, he already looked a little out of strength.

Even so, after all, the use of magic was more than a step faster than ordinary people's running, and after a while, he caught up with Zeng Su, who was grabbing one from a bun packed with brown paper with one hand and sending it to his mouth, and then carrying the rest into his arms with the other hand.

I was eating, and suddenly saw a hosta displayed in the counter window in the silver building on the street, only to see that this hosta was lilac all over, crystal silver and transparent, the butterfly shape was with a faint luster under the sun, very smart, the hairpin head and the hairpin rod were inlaid with a sterling silver brushed pattern, along the butterfly foot until the end of the butterfly wings, and a wisp of silver swayed on the low-hanging butterfly wings.

Just when Zeng Su was obsessed with watching, a hand behind "Bang" slapped her on the shoulder, and a familiar voice sounded in her ears, "Senior sister, can't you settle down a little, if it weren't for the master's sake, you would be fooling around like this every day, how much money would you have to lose, and a few shops would not be enough for you to toss."

"Brother Ming, do you still have any money on you" Without waiting for Qin Ming to answer, a small hand was touching his body indiscriminately.

"Alas, alas, junior sister, don't touch it... Other... Don't" Qin Ming was touched by Zeng Su's hand, and suddenly became embarrassed, although she was still young, she had always been treated as a younger sister, but after all, there was a difference between men and women, so it was not good to reach into her clothes and grope without any scruples.

"To you, to you" Seeing that he couldn't resist this little guy, Qin Ming took out his money bag and threw it over, and if he didn't hand it over, he was afraid that according to her temperament, she would have to strip herself naked.

"Thank you, Brother Ming" Zeng Xu showed a sweet smile and turned around and ran towards the store.

Qin Ming behind him smiled helplessly, this little junior sister is the smartest of the three of them, and at the same time the most playful, she never learns medicine and alchemy well, and even the basic spells are based on interest to fish for three days and dry nets for two days, and never recognize the status of the two senior brothers in the family, she is simply the demon king of the world, what is terrible is that such a stinky girl who loves to cause trouble is also a quirky little cutie, which makes people can't bear to blame.
