Chapter 408: Leftover Townspeople
Qin Wen flew towards the place where the sound came from, and the two caravan monks hurriedly followed to protect his safety, but when Qin Wen turned the corner, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
A boy of seven or eight years old, who was desperately licking the rice porridge that had solidified at the bottom of the pot with his tongue with a cauldron, saw Qin Wen and them coming to his side, turned around and was about to run, but he was still a little reluctant to leave the rice porridge, so he pulled the cauldron and ran to the north, and the iron pot made a screeching sound on the ground.
Qin Wen was just about to speak, when suddenly a black shadow appeared from the side and blocked the middle between the boy and Qin Wen, Qin Wen saw that there was a monk standing opposite him, so he asked, "Who are you?"
When the boy saw the monk on the upper ranks, he hurriedly turned around and ran back and said, "Dad, I just found some dry food by the pot, and I'm going to take it back to my sister and you to eat." ”
Seeing that Qin Wen and the three of them were all in the Xuanshi realm, the Xuanshi monk couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, so he hurriedly waved his hand to let the boy leave here, and then asked Qin Wen rhetorically: "I am a resident of this town, who are you?"
Qin Wen was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the monk's guarded eyes and his action of letting the boy leave, he showed a kind smile and said, "We are a caravan from the country of the Blade, and we passed through this place today, since you are residents of this town, why don't you live in the town, but come out in the middle of the night?"
Seeing that the boy had left quickly, the monk had no worries in his heart, and said in a somewhat stiff tone: "How can we go back to the town to live? In the past two years, it has been either a war or a bandit, and a town in Haolu has been plagued to become what it is now, if it weren't for the inconvenience of travel for the old and the young, we would have gone to the country of the blade a long time ago." ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly turned cold and said, "You are not a caravan from the country of the Blade, are you? Aren't you afraid of being robbed?"
At this time, Han Shang and several other monks also flew over, Qin Wen turned to look at the people he brought, and said with a slight smile: "Look at these monks I brought, I dare to say that no one should beat our idea here in your place." ”
The Xuanshi monk saw Han Shang standing behind Qin Wen, and these few people were all in the Xuanshi realm. There was also a spiritual level monk, and indeed no one dared to rob them, and then turned to see that the boy had already run away without a trace, so he nodded and said, "Since you are a passing caravan, then I won't bother you and take my leave." ”
After speaking, the Xuanshi monk turned around and was about to leave the alley, Qin Wen said at this time: "Don't leave yet, I still have something I want to ask you?"
After the Xuanshi monk heard Qin Wen's words. He suddenly stopped, and he knew that in front of these high-level cultivators, if he ran hard, he would definitely not be able to run away, so he turned around and said, "What else do you have to do?"
Qin Wen's face was still kind, and he said: "That is your son just now, I think you should be in short supply of food now, why don't you do this, how many people are there in total?" I can take out some dry food for you for the time being." I'll ask you some questions about your place in a moment. How about we make a deal?"
After listening to Qin Wen's words, the Xuanshi monk couldn't help but hesitate, what Qin Wen didn't expect was that he refused bluntly, and said in a cold tone: "I don't know what you want to ask." Don't try to trick us into finding out where we're hiding. ”
Qin Wen was stunned by his words, and before he could continue to speak, Han Shang opened his mouth at this time: "You kid don't distinguish between good and bad, our family master took pity on you, so he gave you some dry food as relief." Don't think we're going to ask for anything from you, even if you give me this broken town, you won't want it for me. ”
"And where are you hiding? You are underestimating me by talking like this, the divine consciousness of the spiritual level monk is beyond your imagination, now not only the entire town, even the mountains and forests behind are within the scope of my divine sense, there are less than fifty of you now, all of them are hiding in a mountain forest less than three miles away from the town, now there are five or six people in the cave, and the rest of the people are outside the cave, am I right?"
Listening to Han Shang's words, the Xuanshi monk couldn't help but be a little speechless, he still looked at Qin Wen and a few people with suspicious eyes, Qin Wen looked at the monk with dry food behind him and said, "How much dry food do you have on you?" Take it out first. ”
The monk who went up to the Xuanshi level casually took out a hundred and ten dry cakes from the storage bag, as well as some meat such as wind chicken and beef jerky, and finally took out a bag of rice, Qin Wen handed these things to the Xuanshi monk and said: "I definitely didn't lie to you what I said just now, so let's take these things back first, and if you can trust me, you can come back and look for me in the inn just now." ”
The Xuanshi monk took the food handed by Qin Wen in disbelief, and saw that the monk next to him had no intention of stopping it, so he put the food into his storage bag, and then bowed down and said: "Thank you this Qin Ye, I will send these things back first, at most half a pillar of incense, I will come back." ”
After speaking, he turned around and left the alley, Qin Wen and the others also returned to the inn, remembering the scene when the boy stole the leftovers in the pot just now, Qin Wen couldn't help but sigh.
After half a pillar of incense, sure enough, the monk walked into the inn, this time he came with an old man who went up the ladder of the monk, after seeing Qin Wen, both of them bowed their hands, and Qin Wen also saluted: "There is no one in the town now, and it is inconvenient for you to use fire on the mountain, so it is more convenient to move down." ”
The old man waved his hand casually and said: "I came here to thank you all this time, I heard Dong Hou say that you are the caravan of the country of the He Blade, in the past ten days, the town has indeed calmed down a lot, but the war in the northwest has not stopped, and the army will pass by here at any time to catch monks, and it is safer for us to hide in the mountains." ”
Dong Hou only introduced to Qin Wen at this time: "We are the residents of this Lishan Town, my father used to be the mayor here, and this is my father's sworn brother. ”
Qin Wen was slightly stunned and said, "Even if there is anything to say, it is the first time for us to take this path, and we will have many questions for you in a while." ”
Dong Hou, the old man, glanced at each other, and then the old man spoke: "Since Qin Ye said so, then we will not be polite, I don't know what kind of spiritual objects Qin Ye brought with him from the country of He Blades, and where did he trade them?"
Qin Wen didn't expect him to ask himself this question so directly, so he frowned slightly and said: "This, there are many types of spiritual objects we carry, from the country of the He Blade through you, we are going to go west, as for the trade, our caravan is also to be profitable, of course, to find the most suitable place to sell goods to trade." ”
The old man also saw that Qin Wen was a little unhappy at this time, so he hurriedly explained: "Qin Ye, don't doubt it, it's me who just said a little abruptly, I want to ask Qin Ye if there is a Xuan-level high-grade pill this time, if there is, I want to trade one or two, the price is negotiable, as long as we can take it out, there is absolutely no problem." ”
Qin Wen looked at the old man and Dong Hou with some confusion, there are dozens of people in the mountains and forests now, and they can barely eat, what do you want to do with the Xuan-level high-grade pills? Thinking of this, Qin Wen nodded and said: "Naturally, we have the pills we have with us, but I'm a little curious about what you want the pills to do now? Is there a monk who is about to break through?"
When the old man heard that Qin Wen had the pill in his hand, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's really good, I don't know how many magic weapons or spirit stones Qin Ye needs to trade a pill?"
As soon as his words came out, he hurriedly remembered that he hadn't answered Qin Wen's question yet, so he continued: "We don't hide it from you, Master Qin, now there are only more than fifty people left in the town hiding in the mountains and forests, originally we wanted to leave here for a long time and take refuge in the country of He Blade, the situation over there has already been inquired, we have more than a dozen monks who have reached the upper rank, and there is also a monk of Xuan Shi, there is no problem with these people entering the country of He Blade." ”
"But my eldest brother, that is, Dong Hou's father, when he was covering us to leave, was besieged by two Xuanshi monks in the army, and was seriously injured after the most of the time, and now he has been relying on elixir to maintain, we have thought of all kinds of ways to find Xuan-level high-grade elixir outside, but we have not found it, now the eldest brother's injury is getting worse day by day, and there is not much elixir left in our hands, I didn't expect to be able to meet Qin Ye here, this is really God's blessing." ”
Qin Wen casually took out a Xuan-level high-grade pill from his storage bag and handed it to the old man: "This pill is given to you by me, but if the injury is serious, it is estimated that a pill will not cure it, so let's take us to your eldest brother to have a look, I am a Dan master, I want to see his injury." ”
The old man saw that Qin Wen not only gave him the pill, but was also a Dan Master, so he hurriedly asked Dong Hou to lead the way in front, and then accompanied Qin Wen out of the inn and walked towards the mountains and forests in the west.
Qin Wen saw that among the fifty people, there were old and young, most of them were skinny and skinny, but now they were all holding the dough cake he had just sent out in their hands, and there was a big pot of rice porridge boiling next to him, and when he first saw that Dong Hou's son was standing at the door of the cave, holding a dough cake in his hand, chewing and feeding it to a girl who was less than three years old.
