Chapter Twenty-Three: The Imperial City Maid
After a night's sleep, Lan Yin felt that his body had recovered a lot, and the groggy feeling of being attacked by the poison gradually faded.
She got up and walked outside, and asked the more prestigious townsfolk to gather them together.
The place where they gathered was the place where they held the sacrificial ceremony a few days ago, Lan Yin stood in front of the townspeople and said, "The three black bird demons that have been attacking the town before have been eliminated by me and Bai Ling, and the remaining one is parasitic in Wu Yelei's body, so if you meet Wu Yelei, you must not believe what he said, it is not Wu Yelei, it is a demon." ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone began to talk to each other nervously, and Lan Yin had to cough lightly twice to draw everyone's attention back.
"Don't be too nervous, we'll find a way to get rid of him as soon as possible. ”
There was another commotion in the crowd, and finally, someone who was more courageous mustered up the courage to ask, "Where is Wu Yelei now?"
Lan Yin was silent for a moment, and then replied in a tone that did not fluctuate, "He's dead." ”
The crowd, which had been noisy, fell silent, except for the sound of the wind blowing dead branches. Lan Yin thought that they might be thinking that it wasn't for the immortals who came to protect us, so we could be completely safe.
If they really thought like this, Lan Yin would not feel frustrated, but felt more relieved. After all, the consequences of taking it too lightly must be unimaginable, and it is a good thing that they can understand that their situation is still not safe.
In the distance, the sound of Bailing shouting "Lan'er" broke the silence here.
The crowd consciously dispersed a little, and Lan Yin looked in the direction where the sound of the white bell came from.
"Lan'er, Xu Huaizhang and I just found a girl fainting at the entrance of the town when we were inspecting the situation nearby, and I helped her to our room first. ”
Lan Yin approached Shirachime and asked her, "Is it human?"
Bai Ling nodded, "It's a human, not a demon or an immortal." That's why I thought to ask if any of the townspeople knew how to heal, and I realized that everyone was gathered here. ”
Hearing Bai Ling's words, someone immediately waved his hand, "I know medical skills!" ”
"Then I'll take him to see it?"
Lan Yin nodded, "I've already finished talking about what I want to say here, let's go, I'll be with you." ”
Bai Ling and Lan Yin took the townsman who knew how to heal to the side room, and together they went to see the pale woman who was asleep on the bed.
The woman was very thin, wearing a shabby and faded garment, except for a golden hairpin stuck in her head. Lan Yin's gaze wandered on the hairpin for a while, guessing the identity of this woman.
The townsman who knew medical skills took the woman's pulse, and after a while, he turned to Bai Ling and Lan Yin and said, "It's not a big problem, it's just too weak, I guess I fled from the refugees, I'm hungry and faint." ”
"Flee?" asked Belltron.
The townsman sighed and nodded, "You don't know the two immortals, if it's very chaotic today, there are wars in many places, and the sword doesn't have long eyes, and many times the war-torn place is more terrifying than the place where monsters like ours are rampant!"
Belltron frowned, and her gaze fell back to the face of the woman on the bed.
"Then let her rest first, and I'll go and prepare some food for her, so that she can eat when she wakes up." ”
The woman woke up at dusk, and as soon as she woke up, she struggled to sit up. Belltron hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her, carefully explaining to her where he had met her and how he had brought her back.
Lan Yin just looked at them silently from the sidelines and didn't say anything.
After listening to Bai Ling's explanation, the woman struggled to get up again, this time she went directly to the ground and knelt down in front of Lan Yin and Bai Ling, "Thank you two girls for saving your life." I am a palace maid who fled from the imperial city, and my name is Fen'er. ”
The golden hairpin on her head was even more dazzling in the candlelight, and Lan Yin thought to herself, it was most likely that she had stolen it from her own master while she was in chaos, or that she was a heartfelt palace maid, and this might be the master who gave her when she was leaving.
Bai Ling helped Fen'er up and said with a smile to her, "This is the Southern Barren Ridge, which is an unpeaceful place where monsters often haunt. But you don't have to worry too much, we are all currently stationed here to protect the safety here, although our ability is limited, but we will also have the right to protect everyone. If you are homeless, you can stay here first. ”
Fen'er exclaimed, looked at Bai Ling, and then at Lan Yin, "I heard that a few immortals have come to garrison the Southern Barren Ridge, could it be you?"
"The imperial city is far away, and it is in the midst of war, can you also hear about the affairs of Nanhuangling?" Lan Yin, who had not spoken on the side, asked silently, seeing that Fen'er's expression became a little embarrassed, she smiled, "I just asked casually, and I don't have to ask you." ”
Fen'er also smiled at Lan Yin, "It's because I've been interested in anecdotes since I was a child, so I always pay attention to these kinds of rumors. The Imperial City is indeed in the midst of war, but the war has only started in the past few days, and the place where I was some time ago was still peaceful. ”
Lan Yin nodded and didn't speak again.
Belltron picked up a plate of food on the table and handed it to Fen'er, "This is what I prepared when you were asleep. The townsfolk who know how to heal say you're very weak, so you should eat some. ”
After speaking, she stood up as if she remembered something, "I went to see the wings around here, and I forgot to prepare the wings for you." ”
After Bai Ling went out of the house to look at the wing, there were only two people left in the room, Lan Yin and Fen'er.
Fen'er didn't eat the food right away, but turned to sit down on the edge of the bed, and gently removed the golden hairpin from her head.
In an instant, the immortal power of the snake clan overflowed from her body from weak to strong, and Lan Yin, who was already not looking at her, raised her eyes.
