Chapter 21: Going to the Meeting (5)
The old man grabbed the girl's right side with his right hand, paused for a while, and then said to Ye Feng: "This little girl is fine, it's just that she fainted after being hit the head, and then lost a small amount of blood, so the old man will stop the bleeding for her first!"
After speaking, the green wood power was urged to infuse the girl's body, and these true powers gradually reached the girl's wounds under the control of the old man, and then these true powers made a wonderful trajectory here, but under such a slow urging, those wounds quickly began to heal.
Not long after, the old man stood up and said to Ye Feng: "It's fine, just wait for her to wake up!"
Taking advantage of this effort, Ye Feng learned from the two girls that they were here to watch this competition, but he didn't expect to see Ye Feng with great might, especially that sister, who was full of praise for Ye Feng, and Ye Feng was a little embarrassed to boast, and the old man here just finished it, so he could get rid of the boasting of the two women.
"It's troublesome senior!" Ye Feng thanked the old man.
Seeing Ye Feng so polite, this old man also smiled, he didn't expect this kid to be so kind-hearted, and he would take such care of a girl he didn't know, although he was a little stupid, but it was always a lot better than those cold-blooded bystanders!
The old man walked to the center of the two girls, glanced at Ye Feng with a strange eye, and then suddenly smiled: "The old man has gone to do it in advance, so please trouble the boy, you can help take care of my two granddaughters!"
Obviously, the old man wanted to create a chance for Ye Feng and the three of them to be alone, he was very satisfied with such an excellent young man in front of him, and it was worth entrusting his little granddaughter to him, in addition, he still had confidence in Ye Feng's strength, so that no one would rush away from his two granddaughters.
Ye Feng touched his nose in some surprise, but he had to agree, and the other party walked away directly after seeing that Ye Feng had no objection. Ye Feng smiled bitterly, and then focused his gaze on the girl on the ground, and the two girls also looked at the girl.
Although he was beaten by the guards, fortunately he didn't hurt anything, otherwise such a young life would fly directly to the blue sky, but unfortunately, even if it is above the blue sky, there will be no blue sky master who cares about this little thing, right?
The three of them quietly guarded the little girl's side for a short time, but they unexpectedly found that the little girl was waking up. It didn't take long for those immature eyes, which had almost closed forever, to finally open!
And the first thing the little girl said when she woke up made several people a little angry, and I don't know how those unconscionable city guards did it to such a poor little girl!
"Uncle city guards, don't fight, I really don't have any money, don't fight, don't smash it!ah!" Finally, after the girl opened her eyes and saw the three people in front of her, she stopped shouting, but her eyes were still full of fear, just now it was clear that a group of city guards were bullying her, but now why are these people in front of her?
Something suddenly flashed in the girl's mind, and she reacted immediately, and immediately shrank back, he had heard his mother say that there would be some bad people in the city who would kidnap young girls, and eventually sell them to the kiln to do some shady deals!
In this way, he remembered this matter, and he was extremely afraid of Ye Feng and the others, for fear that the other party would be those so-called bad people.
"Who are you, what is this place?" the girl called out to the three men.
"Little girl, don't be afraid, my brother and sister are not bad people, just now you were knocked out by that group of city guards, we just passed by and saved you, and now you are still at the gate of the gladiatorial arena!"
Hearing that she was still at the door of the gladiatorial arena, the girl finally breathed a sigh of relief, she looked around the surrounding environment, knew that the other party was not lying, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty about the other party. But immediately, the girl suddenly remembered her sweet potato stall, but she began to cry bitterly.
"Little sister, don't cry, those bad guys have been beaten away by the big brother, don't be sad!" Xing Rui said to the girl who was a few years younger than her.
"Wow wow--how can I explain to my mother now~~Wow-wow-" The girl didn't seem to listen to Xiaorui's words, and just cried herself.
"Little girl, don't cry, that stall is broken, don't cry, I have some money here, you can take it back, your mother won't blame you!" Ye Feng saw clearly the reason why the girl was crying, but comforted, and at the same time took out a small bag of gold coins from his pocket.
Hearing Ye Feng's words, the girl opened her teary eyes and said gratefully to Ye Feng: "How can I ask for my eldest brother's money, you didn't buy my sweet potatoes!" It seems that this girl is extremely innocent, and she has a very good rule for not asking for other people's money for nothing, of course, this is also the reason why her mother has been educated like this since she was a child.
"It's okay, little girl, you just take it, how about I eat your baked sweet potatoes next time?" Ye Feng said step by step.
"No, if not, big brother, you can go to my house to eat sweet potatoes, my mother will be happy to see me pull a guest back to eat roasted sweet potatoes, and stop scolding me!" The girl's eyes were full of hope.
Ye Feng was also stunned, this little girl was really stubborn, he was also a little hesitant about this situation, should he go or not? Just when Ye Feng was about to make up his mind, the eldest lady of the Xing family next to him immediately replied for Ye Feng: "Okay, let's go to your house!"
Seeing that the eldest lady of the Xing family actually agreed, Ye Feng had no choice but to answer them. And the girl was a little happy when she saw that the three of them agreed, and immediately got up from the blanket, and after folding the blanket and handing it to Ye Feng, she began to lead the way in front. And Ye Feng just shook his head, put the blanket into the space ring without anyone noticing, and then followed.
I have to say that the child is the most innocent existence in the world, after having the happiness at this moment, but he has long forgotten the unhappiness just now, for such a happy girl, Ye Feng is a little strange, why did her mother let her come out to sell roasted sweet potatoes at such a young age? This question may only be understood after rushing to the little girl's house.
Along the way, the little girl and the two sisters chatted very happily, but the careful Ye Feng still found a little sadness that the girl occasionally revealed, it seems that his guess is a little accurate, something must have happened in the little girl's home.
Soon the four of them walked through the streets, through the alleys, to a relatively remote place. The air in this place is not very good, and there are even so many dirty things and stinky water on the ground, and sure enough, even if the city is prosperous, there will be slums!
Even though this graphite city is one of the four David cities of the Ponca Empire, there is still such a dark and narrow slum. But although the environment of this place is harsh, but the people who live are full of upward mentality, the human touch here is stronger than other places, just along the way, there are a lot of neighbors to greet the girl, compared to the west of the city that seems gorgeous, but is doing some unsightly deeds to be very strong!
Although they were a little unaccustomed to it, the two girls tried their best to resist the urge to vomit in their hearts, and soon they got used to the environment a little. The girl jumped all the way and finally stopped in front of a small dilapidated courtyard.
Gently pushing the door open, the girl made a gesture of invitation to the three of them, and then a female voice sounded in the room.
"Xiao Yin, why are you back? Are the sweet potatoes sold out?"
It seems that the voice coming from the house is the girl's mother, but this voice sounds a little vain, and a little out of breath, so Ye Feng speculated that this girl's mother is most likely sick, otherwise how can she be willing to let such a young child sell roasted sweet potatoes?
"Auntie, Xiao Yin's sweet potatoes were sold by us, we like her roasted sweet potatoes very much, but maybe it's because Xiao Yin's roasted sweet potatoes are so delicious that they are sold out, we really want to eat them again, so we let her take them home and eat them!" Ye Feng was very clever and hurriedly said to the house.
And the second daughter of the Xing family next to her was also a little surprised by Ye Feng's strain, but she also immediately began to package Ye Feng's lie.
"Auntie, Xiao Yin's baked sweet potatoes are really good!"
"Well, the sweet potatoes baked by my little sister are really delicious!"
"Oh, there's a guest coming!" said the female voice in the room. "Quick, come in and sit, the room is a little smaller, please don't mind the three of you!"
Xiao Yin also immediately led the three of them towards the courtyard, and when they passed through the courtyard, Ye Feng saw a lot of sweet potatoes piled up in the yard, but they were roughly divided into two piles, maybe others can't see the gap, but they can't hide Ye Feng's keen spiritual sense, the biggest difference between these two piles of sweet potatoes is that the smallest of them is good, and the largest pile seems to be rotten inside, ordinary people just can't see it from the surface, looking at this, Ye Feng is thoughtful.
Except for the two piles of sweet potatoes in the courtyard, there were only some wooden barrels, iron frames, and timber, and in the middle of the courtyard was a small small house, which looked extremely shabby. When I walked into the room, the layout in front of me seemed a little compact, but it was still very shabby, and there were only some messy clothes left outside a wooden table, a few wooden stools, and a bed where a middle-aged woman was lying.
The woman lying on the bed was very pale, she looked like she had changed a serious illness, she had almost no strength in her body, her eyes were extremely loose, her face was full of wrinkles, her sideburns even had a few strands of gray hair, and her age looked even close to fifty or sixty years old!
"Xiao Yin, you go to the yard to bake a few sweet potatoes for them first, I have something to ask them!" The woman finally squeezed these words out of her mouth, but the girl immediately ran to the yard to roast sweet potatoes when she heard it.
"Xiaorui, you can also go out and see how the little sister is roasted, okay?" the sister said to her sister.
Although Xiaorui was extremely reluctant, she still listened to her sister's words and ran out.
"Xiao Yin, what's the trouble with the heat again, right?" the woman asked Ye Feng and the others.
