Chapter Seventy-Eight: Afternoon
() I've been working hard.
But I still can't do anything.
Nothing can be done.
Is there something wrong with my diligent attitude?
Am I simply not up to the task?
Heroes or not,
Now I can't do it at all.
Everyone's hope, everyone's fear.
Is it really okay for me to share the burden?
"So where do I sleep? Brother Yufeng, where do I sleep? Lin'er sat next to the water platform, there was no stool in the small place, and she really didn't know where to sit.
"What then? I didn't really think you'd come to me so early. Chang Yu Feng wiped the apple on his body and made a squeaky sound.
When he took a bite, the juice flowed out, and he wiped it with his hand.
He continued: "To be precise, I don't think you should be able to find me accurately, I am on this small hill, in fact, not many people know."
"Actually, I'm used to eating and sleeping in the open." Lin'er put her hands on both sides, propped herself up, and fell back lazily, squinting at the evening sun. "It's the same everywhere you sleep."
They made a meal together, and now it's after the tea and dinner, and Changyu Feng has nothing to do.
It should be done nothing.
Reckless, sloppy, without a plan.
Gone.
"That's definitely different, there are quite a lot of monsters and monsters here, so it's better to hide in the house I made. I can sleep on the haystack in the warehouse. Chang Yu Feng nodded: "By the way, did Tsubaki tell you something?"
"Nope. Nothing was told except that you were here. Lin'er looked at the village from here: "What is the origin of Tsubaki?" Why know so much? ”
"Tsubaki and I used to know each other...... She was...... One...... Monster ......" Chang Yu Feng bit off a large part of it, and his mouth couldn't eat it at all, so he had to hold it with his hand and feed himself little by little.
"It's as simple as that?"
"Of course it's not that simple." Chang Yu Feng chuckled and ate the whole apple in his hand.
"Huh?"
"She's not an ordinary youkai, she's three thousand years old, and she's the tree god of Wenti County. Reborn in the last 2,000 years of life, he became a youkai who moved freely. Now, it's been a thousand years. Chang Yu Feng lowered his head and continued: "In a sense, she continued to stay in the world because she was crossed by a mysterious and powerful Eastern monk."
"So complicated?" Lin'er looked at Changyu Feng, the sun shone on her face, and her fair face instantly brightened and sparkled.
"It's not complicated, she was originally a demigod who protected children, and now she is a monster and has not changed, but now she has to leave there because of the relationship between the demons of Wenti County." Chang Yufeng looked at the pedestrians not far away, and his eyes followed until he disappeared from vision.
"That'...... What's the deal with that doctor? I don't think this poison will be sold to us. Lin'er looked at the medicine bag on the water platform, such a little thing, even a highly toxic medicine powder, and she got it for free.
"His father knew my father, and he and I were actually the same generation." Chang Yu Feng went down to the water platform and walked towards the earthen house, Lin'er's eyes followed him, and his doubts were undiminished.
"Peers? How can it be? No way? ”
"Hmm...... This one is complicated. It's really a peer, and, to be precise, he's seeing me for the first time, and he's going to leave when he's done. Chang Yu Kaede's voice came from the earthen house, with an echo.
"Okay......" Although Chang Yufeng didn't say why, Lin'er probably understood.
Brother Changyu's current status and seniority cannot be underestimated, even beyond imagination.
"A lot of things, in fact, I can't understand, I'm also the one who is kept in the dark, I can't dig deeper, I will only ask for trouble." Chang Yu Feng seemed to remind Lin'er: "Lin'er is from another world like me, and everything in this other world is new to us. What I know will definitely tell you, and if I don't know, I can only answer that I don't know, I won't be smart. Because that's pointless. Backfire will only make me ......"
Nagayu Kaede paused and took out some of the stored jam.
"I don't think it's useful."
Lin'er took the bowl with the jam and took a small spoon.
And Changyu Feng also held another bowl, picking up the jam with chopsticks.
There are no identical utensils, so it can only be done like this.
It's strawberry-flavored jam, and the sauce is bee.
"Ah...... It's so sweet...... It's sour and sweet......" Lin'er happily straightened the spoon and put another spoonful into her mouth.
"Hmm...... I can make lollipops if I can, but the syrup isn't solid enough and I don't have that heat. Nagawa Kaede bit down on his chopsticks and took a bite of the jam.
"What is the Lord of the White Spirits that the doctor is talking about...... I feel that Brother Yu Feng is calm and calm, and he has not been suppressed by such a powerful background, you are the Lord of the White Spirit? And what is it in Bailing Mountain? How can you tell? Lin'er didn't bite the spoon, but took a mouthful of it.
"I am indeed the Lord of the White Spirit, not enough, not qualified enough, I need to be affirmed by the Holy Lord, not, as soon as I come back, I will be recognized, that imposter must have thought of this as well, so, if I guessed correctly, what they have to do is much more terrible than I thought."
"What?" Lin'er looked at him, eating jam.
"The Holy Lord will definitely receive the Lord of Bai Ling when the Young Lord of Bai Ling receives the title, at that time, even if there are thousands of troops, it will be difficult to block such a close attack." Changyu Feng bit the chopsticks again.
"You mean! No way! Of course, Lin'er knew who the Holy Lord was talking about.
Close range assassination.
Today, how many people dare to think, how many people dare to say?
"Nothing is impossible. Oh! That's right! Just in case, we need to make a confirmation, only what we know now, no matter what happens in the future, only what we know now, we need to confirm it. Chang Yu Feng's eyes rolled, he looked at Lin'er, and Lin'er also paused to look at Chang Yu Feng.
"What? Oh! Good! Lin'er nodded.
"Do you know how many rabbits I caught yesterday?" Chang Yu Feng looked at Lin'er and looked at it very seriously.
"Hmm...... I don't know......" Lin'er shook her head.
There are some regrets.
"I caught five rabbits yesterday, one with crooked ears, one lame, one without a tail, one without eyes, only has been normal." Chang Yu Feng said, saying all the words in one go, as if he was telling a secret.
"Okay, I remember." Lin'er obediently put down the bowl, and the scholar Chang Yufeng stopped, and quietly said a message that only belonged to him: "When I came, Tsubaki gave me a chestnut, this chestnut, there is only one in the world, I hid it in the pocket of my heart." And this chestnut, with only half of the wings. ”
"No, they can't imitate you at all, your Wanxiang hand is unique, this is the only one." Chang Yu Feng continued to eat the jam: "I'm afraid that they will use the same tricks to deceive the people here, I and his appearance are estimated to be the same, whether it is the way of speaking, the intonation, it should not be too bad." Now there is no comparator, and even the prime minister will be tricked, let alone you. The doctor only knew about it because of my father's secret instructions, otherwise he would never have known. ”
"Is that so? Are you enemies with the person who imitated you? Lin'er continued to pick up the bowl and ate it one by one, then thought about it and tilted her head and said: "No, imitating you and stealing such an important position, it is definitely not an ordinary bad guy, what Brother Yu Feng has to face must be an extremely strong big villain."
"Well, if his purpose is to be holy, then there is a high probability of success. I'm afraid, his goal is not to be holy. Chang Yu Feng pondered, and the chopsticks spun in a circle on his hand.
"What? Is there anything more terrible than being disturbed by the Holy One? Lin'er was a little surprised.
The saint was attacked, it was a close attack by the young master of Bailing Mountain, this kind of attack is likely to be unguardable, not like taking the enemy's head thousands of miles away, but a close-range assassination, if you want to prevent it, I am afraid you can only know it, and the physical protection is in place, and the saint can't take this risk, so there are only two options: hit and not hit.
Among them, the consequences of being hit, whether you are frightened, injured, or even stabbed, are the same.
The entire empire will be plunged into chaos, even absolute closure. Then the assassination will achieve its purpose. Regardless of the life or death of the counterfeiter. Because life and death, for them, don't matter at all.
The one who is here is that their purpose is not the Holy Lord at all, but everything that the entire Wutong Division, and even the Young Master of Bai Ling, undertakes.
The masters of the Bailing family in the past dynasties shared the authority of the Wutong Division with the saints, and basically left the halberd of the god of thunder intact, which can be said to be a dependence on the respect and sense of belonging of the saints of the past dynasties.
If the authority is used and the entire Wutong Division is destroyed, or even an irresistible collapse order appears, then everything will lose its original role, and the thousand-year operation will fall short.
It will be more difficult to contend with, and even wars that will be difficult to suppress. The consequences are unimaginable.
The advantage of inheritance, which humanity has always been proud of, will only become weaker and weaker, or even disappear.
This is even more terrifying, and it is something that must be guarded against.
Once a war breaks out, no side will be the winner.
"This matter is also very complicated, I don't know if you understand it or not, but you still have to be clear, I am a person who is absolutely gentle to you at all times, and I will not lose any temper with you, if I accuse you of doing something wrong, that person must not be me, you need to be careful." Chang Yu Feng looked at Lin'er, hoping to see her eyes and confirm with her.
"Hmm......" Lin'er responded to Changyu Feng, but soon lowered her head a little shyly and ate jam silently: "You tell me this, are we going to Bailing Mountain?"
"Yes, though, until I recover, and until then, we'll rest here. When it comes to the time of the White Spirit Sacrifice, it will be possible, and there will be a time for change. After eating, Chang Yufeng put the bowl on the water table, lifted the water out of the bowl with his hands and splashed it into the bowl, stirred it with chopsticks, and drained the water like egg soup.
"That'...... When will Brother Yu Feng's spiritual power recover? Lin'er watched Chang Yufeng's skillful movements, perhaps, for a long time, Brother Yufeng must have often been alone at some point, alone eating the jam he made, alone roasting the food he caught, alone, sitting here, watching the stars move, people coming and going.
How lonely this little room is.
Are you scared at night?
Are you, so brave, do you shed tears at night?
With the stars and the moon, will you feel homesick at night?
"No accident, my cousin will send me the last medicinal herbs, I just need to ask for money to boil it today, and then drink it, and my spiritual power will be restored." Chang Yu Feng washed the bowl, put it away, and cleaned the chopsticks as well, the water on the water platform decreased, and it was necessary for Chang Yu Feng to go to the stream to fetch water, and the clear spring water flowed through the stream and came to the water platform of Long Yu Feng, which was still and calm.
"Are you boiling those poisons?" Lin'er asked slowly, as if word by word.
"yes...... This is a special medicine, only our Lao Ning family will not die if they eat it, and the others will not be able to keep a drop from rotting. ”
"Ah......h
"You don't have to worry." Chang Yu Feng cleaned Lin'er's bowl and spoon, and the spoon made a clear sound in the bowl.
Gently stroked, it was the crisp sound of iron and porcelain.
Lin'er looked at Chang Yufeng, and he said don't worry, but this medicine ...... If the amount is heavy, it will be poisonous.
"Really." Chang Yufeng looked at Lin'er and said happily: "I've eaten it before, so you can rest assured."
"No...... I'm thinking...... The tribulations that Brother Yu Feng experienced when he came to the spirit realm...... Certain...... A lot of ......" Lin'er said with some distress, sitting on the water platform, looking at her legs, where there was an obvious scar.
"What's the ...... Suffering is my best mentor, without them, I wouldn't even be able to live on my own, let alone talk and laugh with you here, no matter what, I'm the least likely to be smart, not because I won't, but because it's impossible, I clearly know that I am a few pounds and taels now, I can face anything bravely, and I will never be embarrassed to retreat. What I am brave enough to face cannot be self-sufficient. I'm measured, don't worry. Chang Yu Feng picked up the bowl and shook the water, and walked straight to the house.
"Hmm...... I know ......" Lin'er nodded, and also smiled as she watched Chang Yu Feng go to the back room.
"So...... I'm definitely happy in my misery right now, don't worry, don't be afraid of me, it's nothing. Nagawa Kaede walked out of the house and locked the door.
"Shall we just sit here and wait? Your cousin. ”
"Other than that, there doesn't seem to be anything else that can be done. Would you like to watch the sunset with me? Chang Yufeng sat on the water platform and sat next to Lin'er.
eyes on her,
Her height is about the same as herself, and she even sits taller than herself, and what she sees now is her downward face, with clear eyebrows and expectations.
"Of course I do...... It's only early afternoon, though. ”
"That's an honor."
"But is that good? Do nothing. ”
"Do nothing. Isn't it great? Enjoy, this afternoon. By the way, I'm going to get some hay and shop here, how about a lunch break? ”
"Whew...... You say that...... I think it's okay......"
"Are you a cat? Yawning is like a cat meowing. ”
"Maybe, in my last life, maybe it was a cat."
