Chapter 22: Stealing
readx;? The dragon bearded horse was frightened, carrying Mu Wanling and Three Eyes, and ran from the east of the city to the west of the city before daring to stop. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Mu Wanling's injured body couldn't stand the bumps, and as soon as she got off the horse, her body was full of blood and blood, and blood flowed from the corners of her mouth.
One man and two beasts found a big tree near the lake to rest for a while, Mu Wanling lay down, and immediately felt a headache, his head began to get confused, and he fainted not long after.
Until the morning, Mu Wanling still didn't wake up.
The two strange beasts surrounded Mu Wanling uneasily, and seeing that she was still awake, they sniffed anxiously at her face, making sure that she was still alive and then a little relieved.
When noon came, Mu Wanling opened her eyes weakly, only to find that the two strange beasts had disappeared.
"Three-eyed, horse, where are you?" Mu Wanling couldn't help crying bitterly, grandpa was gone, Gu Heng was also dead, could it be that these two strange beasts had also left her?
Mu Wanling struggled to hold on to the tree and look around, but she couldn't see the two strange beasts, she remembered what happened last night, and thought that the thieves used some method to steal the two strange beasts in the middle of the night.
When she was guessing, there was a sudden neighing sound of the dragon bearded horse not far away, Mu Wanling was overjoyed, the dragon bearded horse was still sitting on the back of the three eyes, and the three eyes were holding something tightly in their mouths. When the dragon bearded horse approached, Mu Wanling saw clearly that it was holding a few pieces of flatbread.
The two strange beasts excitedly surrounded Mu Wanling, and diligently handed over the big cake, Mu Wanling was so hungry that she grabbed the cake and stuffed it into her mouth, Three Eyes and the Dragon Bearded Horse looked at Mu Wanling happily, this cake was stolen by them, it seems that it was stolen correctly.
Mu Wanling was satisfied with all the bread, and then sat down on the ground with a full burp, and asked with a smile, "Where did you two get the cakes? You can't steal them, right?" But looking at the dragon bearded horse with three blank eyes and a snorting nose and nodding his head, Mu Wanling had to smile bitterly: "It seems that I still have to rely on you to feed me." ”
In the evening, Three-Eyed and Dragonbeard Horse disappeared again, and Mu Wanling knew that the two of them were going to steal food for themselves, although she couldn't bear it, for fear that they would be discovered, but she couldn't help it now.
At this moment, the sky is getting dark, and the flow of people is also surging, this is a place that is lively at night, so when night falls, there are more people on the streets than in the daytime.
The dragon beard horse swaggered on the street, attracting many people's side eyes, this dragon beard horse is a famous beast, see it wandering here, there must be an identity or a certain strength of people to come here, so no one dares to touch it, three eyes are hiding in the corner, waiting for people's attention to be attracted by the dragon beard horse, it will rely on its small body, secretly drill to the place where the food is stored, pick up a fish and quickly slip away, the dragon beard horse walked back and forth on the road for a while, estimated that the three eyes succeeded, and then left quickly, the two strange beasts came to the road back one after the other。 When the dragon bearded horse saw the fish, he remembered the previous incident of Gu Heng going into the water to fish, and guessed that it was something that the human race loved to eat, so he threw his three eyes on the horse's back, and disappeared as soon as he slipped away.
In this way, with the help of the two strange beasts, Mu Wanling no longer has to worry about food, and she can recuperate and heal under the tree by the lake with peace of mind.
Every few days, Mu Wanling would change places, and she was afraid that Three-Eyes and Dragonbeard Horse had stolen too many things, and it would be bad if others found out.
After more than a month like this, Mu Wanling took the Three Eyes and the Dragon Whisker Horse to hide in the east of this Yehui City, she was not hungry during this time, and most of her injuries were healed at this time, so she was ready to find a job, while working, while cultivating, until she had the ability to cross the forest and return to the ancient clan, but at least to reach the Ascension Realm.
"If anyone wants to go to the Gu Clan, I must follow with a dead face. Mu Wanling said silently in her heart, her body is already able to walk freely at the moment, and her mystic skills can also operate, and her heart is much more optimistic than when she first entered the city, plus the two inseparable beasts, Mu Wanling's heart has recovered a little brighter, and she will act when she is in a better state.
At noon that day, the three-eyed and dragon-bearded horses went out for a long time but did not come back, Mu Wanling didn't care at first, until more than an hour passed, the two strange beasts had not returned, she suddenly had a bad premonition, got up and wanted to go to the city to see what was going on, at this time, a mournful horse roar came from afar, as the sound approached, the dragon-bearded horse rushed to the front of Mu Wanling with an anxious face, Mu Wanling knew that it was the three eyes who had an accident, and disappeared like lightning on the back of the horse.
The city was still very lively, and the dragon-bearded horse was like a white ribbon shuttling through the bustling crowd, and soon a man and a beast came to a tall building full of people.
This high-rise building is called Accord Court and is a famous place for drinking and merrymaking.
At this time, the front of this Accord Garden was full of people, and only one person was happy: "Such a strange beast is still sold at such an expensive price, will anyone want it?"
The other replied disdainfully: "Cut, what do you know? Rich people don't come here to eat, drink and have fun, this strange beast has never been seen before, of course there will be people who want to taste it, and I don't care how much money it costs." ”
The two of you say a word, the more Mu Wanling listens, the more anxious she becomes, it seems that the three-eyed stealer was caught stealing to this place, and now it is being auctioned, and whoever pays the highest price will be killed and eaten for whom.
Although there were many people at this time, Mu Wanling couldn't care about it, and the running thunder trick flashed into the building.
Everyone was startled when they heard the loud thunder, and when they looked back, they didn't find anything unusual, but they saw that the dragon bearded horse had reappeared at some point.
Mu Wanling entered the building, only to see that the huge hall was full of diners, and the three eyes were locked in a small iron cage, it looked panicked, jumping back and forth restlessly, and there was a piece of raw meat lying under its feet, which was obviously stolen for Mu Wanling to eat.
Mu Wanling's eyes were sour, and she hurriedly ran the thunder trick again, and flashed to the side of the iron cage.
When the diners heard the thunder, they jumped up from their seats in fright, and the sudden appearance of the curtain also frightened them again. The three eyes saw the curtain Wanling, and the originally restless steps became brisk.
"You... Who are you?" A man who was originally standing next to the iron cage saw Mu Wanling who suddenly appeared, and at first he was so frightened that he hid, but then he saw that Mu Wanling was just a child, so he had the courage to come forward and ask.
"This beast is mine, and I will take it with me. Mu Wanling said coldly to the man.
When the man heard this, he was immediately displeased, and replied: "This is what we caught, this beast has stolen from us, and if it is really yours, you must pay the money for what it has stolen in the past few days." ”
"How many days have you stolen?" Mu Wanling was stunned, it seemed that Three Eyes had already made a move in this store several times, and the store had taken precautions, so he caught it.
"I don't have any money. Mu Wanling replied.
"Then what should I do, I can only sell it, if it really doesn't work, the store will sell the extra money to you, isn't it?" The man is very good, but how could Mu Wanling sell the three eyes and kill them, so she simply stopped caring with the man, picked up the iron cage and prepared to leave, as soon as she made a move, one of the diners suddenly stretched out his index finger and flicked the iron cage, shook the iron cage open, and said: "We haven't tasted it yet, what are you little boy here to make trouble?"
Mu Wanling looked back, only to see a fat-headed and big-eared man standing up from his seat, staring at Mu Wanling with dissatisfied eyes, and all the diners also slapped the table at this time, glaring and shouting: "Even if it's yours, don't want to take it back if you don't have money!"
"I'll give five hundred taels of silver, and I'll eat this strange beast!"
"Damn, six hundred taels, don't rob me!"
.......
The shouting voices were higher than the other, obviously not taking Mu Wanling seriously, Mu Wanling looked at the faces distorted by excitement below, and felt a chill in her heart, she didn't care about the fat man anymore, she smashed the iron cage with one palm, and she was ready to flee with three eyes, but when the big man saw that Mu Wanling was not afraid of herself, her heart was on fire, and she drew her sword and rushed forward.
Mu Wanling ran to the thunder trick and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes in an instant, the fat man sneered, stretched out his hand in one direction, and a strong qi shot out, Mu Wanling felt the strength coming, hurriedly stopped and dodged, turned around and glared at the fat man, and said, "It seems that you insist on not getting along with me?"
"It's you who can't get along with everyone, and if you hand over that beast, you'll have nothing to do. The fat man slowly walked towards Mu Wanling, and the diners behind him had the courage of the fat man, and shouted one by one: "Leave that strange beast behind, otherwise you will have no good fruit to eat!"
Mu Wanling guessed from the fat man's mystical skills that his strength must be stronger than herself, if she was not injured now, she might still be a little sure of winning, but she can now be said to be in big trouble because of her injury.
Mu Wanling lowered her eyes and whispered, "The dragon beard horse is outside, you go first." ”
The three eyes were a little reluctant, but seeing the resolute eyes of the curtain Wanling, they had to rush into the crowd, and the people outside saw the strength of the curtain Wanling, so they naturally did not dare to catch it, and the three eyes came to the dragon beard horse and jumped on the horse's back, and the dragon bearded horse let out a long roar and left quickly.
Seeing the strange beast fleeing, the man rushed up and wanted to chase it, Mu Wanling saw this, picked up the tables and chairs around him and smashed them, the man waved his long sword, and cut down all the oncoming tables and chairs, and Mu Wanling took the opportunity to escape outside.
"Ouch, my thing, why are you two evil stars fighting in my shop?" The boss heard the noise, went downstairs to take a look, and shouted at the man who rushed to the door, and when the man heard it, he turned around and scolded: "Old thing, it's not bad if you don't die." After speaking, he chased in the direction of Mu Wanling.
Although Mu Wanling's thunder trick is fast, but the consumption of Xuan Qi is large, and the speed slows down significantly after a long period of use, but the man is in hot pursuit, neither slow nor fast, following her closely, Mu Wanling knows that he is following him, so he specially chose the opposite direction to his resting place to escape.
