Chapter 11: Hardship
With the improvement of Ye Wen's personal cultivation, the food of him and Xiao Qian has become more and more abundant, almost comparable to the level of ordinary civilians.
Today's Ye Wen, in a nearby forest outside Xicheng, is also slightly famous, from hares and pheasants, to the occasional antelope roe deer, which makes people who were originally familiar with him stunned, how did this kid suddenly become so good at hunting?
There are many animals in the forest, but most of them are good at hiding and extremely agile, which is not easy for ordinary people, let alone thin poor people.
In fact, even today's Ye Wen is mostly lucky in hunting, and being able to slap an antelope to death with one palm and catching an antelope are two different concepts.
After the reserve of meat reached the level of maintaining more than ten days, Ye Wen silently waited for the hunting day of the elixir Zhai to come, the details of that activity, Ye Wen actually did not know, the information recorded in the [Referral Charm] was limited, but it was just to provide the address, date and other information, and the black skins did not know anything about it.
The next day, when the sky gradually became brighter, Ye Wen was already standing outside the fence wall of the small courtyard, these days, it was inevitable that he was a little irritable in the time of waiting, and the wonderful thing was that at this moment before leaving, his heart was calm.
"So...... Xiaoqian, remember what I said, to protect yourself, if something unexpected happens, hide in the hole I dug and hide it well. Ye Wen scratched his head, according to the information revealed by the referral symbol, when he came back, it was as short as three days, and as long as ** days, and he had never left for such a long time before, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
The girl pursed her cherry mouth, her delicate nose shrank, and then she stared at Ye Wen with big black eyes, and said crisply: "Brother Ye, don't underestimate Xiaoqian, Xiaoqian knows how to take care of herself." ”
Ye Wen didn't have any doubts about this, and nodded, Xiaoqian grew up in the slums after all, not a fragile potted plant, but more like a tenacious grass, just as he will show his childish side in front of the girl, the girl will only show the vulnerable side in front of him, if it is someone else, the face will be different.
Xiao Qian saw Ye Wen's affirmative nod, a look of joy appeared on her face, she showed a sweet smile at Ye Wen, and immediately stepped forward to hug Ye Wen's waist, and said softly: "I want to come back safely." ”
"Of course. ”
Looking down at the girl's delicate face, Ye Wen was stunned for a moment, then stroked the girl's hair a little helplessly, nodded again, and then didn't rub anything, and turned around and left directly.
Out of the permanent street, Ye Wen slowly walked towards the east, no matter which city it is, the slum is always the most chaotic place, but there is indescribable freedom, and the closer you get to the edge of the slum, you will feel the gradual formation of order, and ...... The sense of oppression of the government!
Thieves and thieves in the slums often wander to civilian areas to commit crimes, and if the lucky ones can steal a little silver, if the unlucky ones are found by the soldiers patrolling the city, they will be beaten up, or even arrested and sent directly to the prison.
The soldiers who represent the majesty of the city lord, their overall strength is much stronger than that of ordinary gang disciples, it is said that even if it is a fight in the same realm, it is not uncommon for ordinary soldiers to fight with one enemy and five, and in many incidents of the government cleaning up gangs, it has completely proved the authenticity of this point.
Looking at those well-equipped patrol soldiers walking not far away, Ye Wen's body involuntarily trembled slightly, this was from the deep-seated fear, the instinctive reaction of the superior who had the ability to dispose of his own life.
When those figures with a murderous aura were gone, Ye Wencai breathed a sigh of relief slightly, after this period of training, he may have the strength of a gang disciple, and he can even barely match some boss levels, but this does not mean that he is strong enough to ignore everything.
Shuttling through the crowd, Ye Wen packed up his mood and followed the street to the junction of the slum and the civilian area, and finally stopped in front of a black gate.
"This is the branch of Elixir Zhai?" staring at a plaque on the high place, on which were written "Elixir Zhai" three big black characters, vigorous and powerful with a simple atmosphere, Ye Wen's eyes flashed with a look of surprise.
Exhaled lightly, as if to blow away the nervousness, this was the first time that Ye Wen was so close to this kind of place where poor people are not approached in the usual sense, he suppressed the inevitable nervousness in his heart, and stopped his steps and stepped forward again.
With a wave of his left hand, a red talisman flew out of Ye Wen's hand and smashed unceremoniously on the black door, and at that moment, the pool water that seemed to be calm suddenly fluctuated.
Just after a violent boil, the black door of the Elixir Zhai suddenly opened slowly, Ye Wen hesitated for a moment, and then wanted to walk in directly.
"Stop! Who are you?"
Ye Wen's footsteps had just been raised, and behind the two gates, there was a sudden indifferent cheer, accompanied by two young men in blue clothes who came out from both sides of the gate.
"Do you know what kind of place this is? Who asked you to come here?" Just in front of Ye Wen, a young man in blue glanced at Ye Wen and said coldly.
Hearing this, Ye Wen frowned slightly, the referral charm had already been smashed, and the door was opened to indicate that the token was successfully verified, so the next thing was to enter the field and wait, instead of being stopped by two inexplicable guys, and more subtlely, these two people seemed to be a little angry.
"Ye Wen, come to participate in the hunt. Looking at the two blue-clothed young men who almost had bad intentions written on their faces, Ye Wen replied calmly.
Compared with the previous experience of wandering and begging, this little episode is not difficult for Ye Wen, in this world, there is not much difference between politeness and unkindness in language, and the only factor that can affect people's life and death is power, so Ye Wen is very calm now, unusually calm.
Looking at Ye Wen's calm face, the young man in blue was slightly stunned, this kid really knew how to pretend, and the dislike in his heart was even stronger, because he did feel that in the eyes of this tattered kid in front of him, there was no fear or jealousy.
This was definitely not a pleasant feeling for him, who was accustomed to looking down on the poor, especially since this unexpected quota disrupted the task he had to perform this time.
"The hunting quota is full, you're late, you can go back!" Another blue-clothed disciple who hadn't yet spoken, a strange color flashed in his eyes, obviously he was also surprised by Ye Wen's calmness, there were occasional lucky guys in the past, but in a place where he first came into contact with this level, as long as he was slightly threatened, he almost had to pee his pants.
From humble origin, naturally limited knowledge, limited knowledge, naturally frightened, brave and ruthless among the same kind, but tied up at the sight of natural enemies, this is the despicable nature of the poor.
"I know it's never full. Ye Wen scratched his head, looked at the two blue-clothed young men and said calmly: "I never thought that the disciples of the Elixir Zhai would do things like this. ”
"Slum slum mess, even if you dare to question me, what are you!" The young man in blue who spoke last suddenly became furious, obviously angered by Ye Wen's words.
Ye Wen looked at the slightly excited blue-clothed young man, and couldn't help but touch his nose, at the beginning, he found that there was something wrong with these two disciples of the Elixir Zhai, although the words were full of reasonable contempt, but if he tasted it carefully, he could taste a strange appearance.
For Ye Wen, who has been wallowing in the mud of the slums for nearly ten years, contempt and disgust are the most common treatments, and there are some arrogant and hopelessly hostile guys, and these people often have instinctive emotions, which are similar to instinctive disgust for dirty garbage, not wanting to dirty their hands and so on.
And this outrageous blue-clothed disciple hid more reason in his contemptuous words, as if he was deliberately driving him away in order to cover up something or achieve a certain goal.
Besides, according to Ye Wen's usual understanding, these gang disciples who consider themselves superior have always added more punches and kicks than verbal attacks, but now they have no intention of making a move, so they must have some scruples.
Since he has insight into the other party's psychological state, it is the other party who needs to act cautiously, Ye Wen no longer hesitated, and said with a slight smile: "Two, please let go." ”
"You!" the blue-clothed young man's face sank.
Ye Wen slowly took a step forward, his palm was slightly bent, and a trace of Dao power faintly flowed out, but the smile on the corner of his lips did not decrease by half, but in that smile, there was a ruthlessness that did not admit defeat, this hunt was extremely important, it was a long-awaited stepping stone, even if it was to offend the disciples of the Elixir Zhai, he would break in.
"Hehe, why don't I know that lower-level disciples are qualified to meddle in the entry and exit of the introduced?"
However, just when the conflict was about to break out, a loud voice suddenly sounded, Ye Wen looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a young man in green clothes walking straight up, looking at his age of about sixteen or seventeen years old, there was a white line on the cuffs of his shirt, which was obviously the symbol of a certain gang.
"Broken watergate. ”
When Ye Wen saw this person, he narrowed his eyes, looked at the white line carefully, and did not slowly withdraw his gaze until the other party approached, and the smile on the face of the person who came was extremely bright, as if he had seen a close friend who he hadn't seen for many years.
"Tsk, I haven't seen you for many days, you are a lot more angry, the hunting activities of the Elixir Zhai are arranged by your Deacon Chen's order, as long as you have Dao power and have a referral charm, anyone can participate in the hunt, this is a practice for many years, if he knows, someone dares to ignore the rules......"
The person who came smiled at the blue-clothed disciple slightly, his eyes scanned back and forth at the two blue-clothed youths, and after tilting his head and thinking about it, he said with a smile: "Hey, how can it still be a realm of quenching the body, this level wants to squeeze out Deacon Chen, it seems that there is still a lot of difference!"
"Hard, there's nothing to do with you here!" The face of the young man in blue changed slightly, and in his arrogant tone, there was a bit of obvious jealousy.
"I want to go in too, you have to block here, you say it's none of my business, so whose business is it?"
Laborious?
What a quirky name.
In this tense atmosphere, Ye Wen suddenly became interested in this special name, so that he became interested in this person who was intervening in the sideways, he thought like this, this must be a very interesting person.
