In the territory of the Yan Empire, on a galloping road between the jungles, a convoy of horses was staggering forward.

On the second carriage, Lin Jue sat in the center, with a red bird looking around on his shoulder, and opposite, a dirty gray short-haired child, always on guard, staring at Lin Jue in panic.

"Hey, what's your name?"

“......”

"Where is your home?"

“......”

"Do you speak Chinese?"

“......”

"Can you speak?"

“......”

"Can you hear me?"

“......”

Lin Jue held his forehead helplessly. The kid on the other side was bought at the market in Zhenguiguan a week ago, no, he was saved. Since being rescued by Lin Jue, he has fallen into a coma, and he has not come to his senses until today, but it seems that Lin Jue cannot be regarded as awake, along the way, Lin Jue asked him countless questions, and he did not answer one, not even a word. Lin Jue began to be depressed, this kid shouldn't be a deaf and mute person.

Lin Jue gave up the idea of continuing to ask him, and said helplessly: "You can be regarded as awake, you can go to the nearby town later, and you can leave." Originally, I was just going to save people, not to buy a slave. Forehead...... Forget it, you can't understand it anyway, na, you can take this bag of gold coins, I'll be a good person to the end, all in all, you're free. ”

The child took the small bag, hesitated for a moment, opened it and saw that there were about a dozen glittering gold coins piled up in it, he was stunned for a moment, and then tied the bag without saying a word and handed it to Lin Jue.

Lin Jue clasped his hands in front of his chest, staring at the bag of gold coins in front of him with a sad face, with a headache. He now feels that he seems to have spent money to buy a big trouble, this child can't communicate without talking, it seems that he can't get rid of it, and he has been a babysitter for a week for nothing, what should he do?

At this time, the vigilance in the child's expression had disappeared, and he lowered his head with a complicated expression, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After a long time, it seemed that he was not in good spirits, and his whole body turned to the side, and he fainted again.

"Hey, I'll go, what's the situation. Lin Jue hurriedly held the child and said in a panic: "Hey, wake up, didn't you just wake up?

Phoenixis changed into her body, lay on the seat leisurely, and said, "Don't worry, he's fine, you fed him porridge for a week, and now he is growing and undernourished, so he faints from hunger." ”

Lin Jue shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Okay, anyway, I'm about to enter the city, go to the city and find a way to wake him up and give him a good meal." ”

The goal of Lin Jue's trip was Kyoto, Splendid City, Yan Empire. Since they had been on the road, they rarely stopped to rest, and most of the time they spent the night in the countryside and wilderness, and now everyone was as dirty as this child. This is not far from the Splendid City, after all, he came here in the name of the Orlante Kingdom, it is not good to enter the Splendid City with the current image, on the way to this trip, there is a city in front of the Splendid City, Huancheng, Lin Jue and his party need to repair here for a night today.

At this time, the sun had set, and by the afterglow of the sun, the group finally found the pavilion here.

Until the end of dinner, the child was still unconscious, Lin Jue sighed, along the way, he worked hard to be a nanny for this child for a week, because he was unconscious, Lin Jue had to feed him food and water, to ensure that he was not starved to death of thirst. After everyone went to sleep, Lin Jue asked Yicheng for a bucket of hot water and a hot towel, and carried the child to his room, he was going to Kyoto of the Yan Empire tomorrow, he was like this, he was as dirty as a beggar, so he could only take a bath and change his clothes.

Lin Jue complained in a low voice: "Alas, forget it, I took care of you all the way, just for the sake of my future children, adapt in advance." ”

Lin Jue wiped the stains on his little face, revealing a fair and pretty face, Lin Jue looked at it and was a little surprised, but he didn't expect this child to look quite handsome.

Lin Jue took off the child's shirt with his hands, the blood stains on his back were still shocking, Lin Jue sighed softly, what a hard-working child. He dipped a towel in hot water and gently wiped the stains on the child's body.

The candle lights in the room were very dim, Lin Jue couldn't see clearly, wiped for a long time, always felt that it was still dirty, over time, Lin Jue's patience was worn out, so he simply stripped his whole body, threw it directly into this bucket of hot water, scrubbed it hastily, took it out to dry, wrapped it in the quilt, and lay down next to him in clothes.

Early the next morning, Lin Jue was woken up by a delicate scream, he turned his head to look, it turned out that the child had woken up at some point, sitting naked next to him.

"You! what did you do to me!?" exclaimed the child.

Lin Jue was stunned for a moment and said, "Can you speak?"

Lin Jue was so startled, he was completely awake, when he saw this child clearly, he was stunned, it was actually a girl? The girl had a beautiful face and short gray hair, because the ashes were washed with hot water last night, it glowed with its original brilliance, and it was actually a bright silver hair. A short silver hair fluttered back, revealing the pointed ears that were originally deliberately covered, Lin Jue secretly said in her heart, could she be the legendary elf, right? The girl was not wearing an inch at this time, it seemed that due to her young age, her breasts were only slightly beginning to develop, and with that dirty appearance, it was no wonder that her peers had not seen anything unusual in the past few days.

Lin Jue hurriedly turned his head and explained: "What, you listen to my explanation, I didn't see anything, I always thought you were a boy, because tomorrow I will be in Splendid City, I took a bath for you by candlelight last night, you see I'm still wearing clothes, I didn't do anything." ”

The girl hurriedly pulled up the quilt to cover her whole body, her pretty face was flushed, although she had been in a coma for the past few days, she knew very well that she was rescued by Lin Jue at the beginning, if she hadn't been rescued by him, she would have been killed by the slave trader a long time ago. She also knew that Lin Jue had no malicious intentions, and after thinking for a while, she calmed down her mood and made a voice as thin as mosquitoes, "Can you find me a piece of clothing?"

Lin Jue, who had his back to her, immediately stood up and walked towards the door, saying as he walked, "Of course you can, you wait." ”

Lin Jue found Yicheng, gave him a gold coin, and asked him to find a dress worn by a girl about twelve years old, prepare a breakfast by the way, and take the clothes back to the guest room, until the girl was dressed, Lin Jue began to communicate with her.

The girl has been in a coma for the past few days, she has eaten liquid food, and she has long been hungry, and the bowl of beef noodles in front of her is stunned with all her strength, just like eating a table of delicacies from the mountains and seas, gobbling it up, Lin Jue can only say on the side to eat slowly. This scene reminded Lin Jue of the first day she came to this world, and her food was not much better than her.

"You...... Is it an elf?" Lin Jue asked tentatively.

The girl was stunned, covered her ears with an exclamation, and when she was sure that Lin Jue had seen her ears clearly, she was silent for a moment, took her hand away in a sneer, and said with a gloomy expression: "I...... You should see that, right? Silver-haired, pointy-eared, I'm the one everyone avoids, silver-haired, half-elf. ”
