Chapter Twenty-Nine: Sister and Brother in the Alley
"Huh"
In a dark alley that is inaccessible, with a soft sound, four figures fell over the wall, and by the dim candlelight outside the alley, it was barely clear that they were four figures hidden in black cloaks.
"You're wanted by the Piqué family, and now this outfit will also be searched, are you sure you're not with us?" Han Yue played with the purple short sword in his hand, his eyes flowing like autumn water, and asked casually.
"No, we'll see you on the day the auction starts." Ye Yun whispered a word, hugged the unconscious Star Devouring Demon Wolf, and walked towards the depths of the alley, and his figure slowly disappeared into the night.
Han Yue pursed her lips, secretly scolding Ye Yun for being cowardly in her heart. She naturally knew that Ye Yun sensed that they had a secret operation, so in order to avoid being implicated, she kept her distance from them, if it wasn't for the gold card of the Nohuis family to enter the auction, she was afraid that Ye Yun would not want to be with them.
But do you think you can get out of it?
As if thinking of something, under the cloak, the red lips on the bewitching and fox-like jade face of the cold moon were slightly lifted, which was very moving.
……
Gore's death undoubtedly caused a lot of shock in Apocalypse City, and countless stubborn sergeants searched for all suspicious people in the streets and alleys, and the whole city was on alert.
"Hurry up and search! It's dirty and smelly! ”
In the famous slum alley of Apocalypse City, five big men in military armor frowned and glanced at this dilapidated and dirty alley that had not been repaired for many years, and their eyes were full of disgust. Behind them stood a crowd of ragged, yellow-skinned residents with panic and fear on their faces.
"Have you ever seen four men with cloaks and a wolf?" One of the big men in the lead suddenly turned around and said impatiently. It was clear that he didn't feel like he had let this alley stain his armor.
"My lord, there have never been outsiders here." An older old man bent over and stepped forward, smiling flatteringly.
"Stop, stop! Stay away from me, old thing! Presumably no one will come here, let's go, go back to life! The big man waved his hand with disgust on his face and quickly left with his men.
As soon as they left, the inhabitants who had been called out for questioning returned to their houses, and soon only a boy and a girl were left in the room.
"Go home, Shanman." The girl, who was pale and delicate, pulled the boy who was still staring at the sergeant's departure and whispered.
She looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, her clothes smelled musty, her face was full of vegetables due to long-term malnutrition, and her body couldn't stop shivering on a hot summer night, as if she was in a harsh winter.
"Sister, they're so angry. They must have endless steamed buns. The boy with a dirty face and a boy who looked like he was only eight or nine years old looked at the mouth of the alley in a daze, his eyes were full of yearning and envy, and when it came to steamed buns, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
The girl's eyes darkened, she gently touched the boy's head, and said softly: "Tomorrow, my sister will definitely let Shanman eat steamed buns." ”
"No, the mountain barbarians are not hungry, sister, don't go to lead the fish, you will be beaten." The boy was stunned for a moment, then turned around and hugged the girl, and said with a worried face.
Fishing is actually stealing, and most of the poor have no other way to earn food, so fishing has become their only means of survival.
The girl barely smiled and did not speak, and took her brother's hand and walked deeper into the alley, and it was not long before the two came to a dilapidated wooden house.
This is their home, although it is very dilapidated, but it can shelter them from the wind and rain, and give them a rare trace of warmth.
Pushing open the wooden door that was only half left due to the corrosion of time, the girl was about to lead her brother into the house, but her eyes suddenly froze, and a figure appeared in the room at some point.
The girl's face showed a deep fear, and she recalled the story of one thief after being found stealing in the house, but killed the owner, and couldn't help but tremble and said: "Take what you want, don't kill us......"
The figure in the room paused, and after a few breaths passed, a clear voice sounded.
"I won't take your things or kill you, I'll rent it from you for one night, how about renting it for you?"
The boy nervously hid behind the girl, and when he heard this, his eyes were happy, and he was about to agree, but the girl preemptively said: "You can live if you want, you don't have to give money." ”
That cautious gesture is really poignant.
The figure was silent for a moment, and then said softly, "You come in, you are the master here." ”
Hearing this, the girl's face showed fear again, and she said with a crying voice: "My lord, please don't hurt us, we can be your servants." ”
The figure sighed lightly, flipped his hand, and a flame appeared, and in an instant the fire dispelled the darkness, and then the two saw that the figure was a good-looking young man with black hair and black eyes, and behind him lay a big dog with red and white hair.
It was Ye Yun.
"You're a magician!" The girls and boys looked delighted, they knew that the status of magicians was high, but they were not interested in their things.
Ye Yun smiled and didn't explain, took out a silver coin and handed it to the girl, and said, "This is the rent, I heard what you said just now, go buy something to eat." ”
There are three kinds of currency in the Shenqi Continent: copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins, one gold coin can be exchanged for 10,000 copper coins, and one silver coin can make ordinary people live comfortably for a month.
"One copper coin is enough, my lord." The girl said timidly, one copper coin can buy several steamed buns.
Ye Yun reached out and touched her head, and said when her face was flushed, "It's okay, the rest of you will go buy some delicious food tomorrow." ”
The girl blushed and hummed softly, not daring to look up at Ye Yun.
Glancing at the room where there was only a broken wooden bed, Ye Yun said softly: "You guys sleep, I don't need to sleep if I want to meditate." ”
Meditation is the cultivation method of the magicians of this world, which can be used to increase spiritual power, but in Ye Yun's opinion, the efficiency is too low.
Nodding slightly, the girl who still didn't dare to look at Ye Yun's face pulled her younger brother who was full of curiosity to the wooden bed, but the moment she turned around, her eyes still glanced at Ye Yun quickly, and her face was even more flushed.
Seeing that the two of them lay down obediently without saying a word, Ye Yun nodded slightly, extinguished the fireball with a "poof", and the room instantly fell into darkness.
Taking out all the soul jade spirit stones from the space ring, Ye Yun sat down cross-legged and began to practice.
The crystal clear soul jade wisps of invisible soul power escaped, and then continued to drill into Ye Yun's mind, and the spirit stone was instantly drained of all the spiritual energy, and was absorbed and refined by Ye Yun like a whale.
