Chapter Seventy-One: Stay
Chapter Seventy-One: Stay
Ye Fan believed that in the next few days, there would be no peace here, I was afraid that there would be a lot of wars, and more Eastern Wilderness sects would rush here, and the entire ruins would boil over because of the Demon Emperor's Yin Tomb.
Looking back from afar, you can still see the bloody light in the direction of the ruins, and the rainbows are impacting vertically and horizontally.
"Whether the Deserted Tower is in the Yin Tomb or not, it has nothing to do with me......" Ye Fan was already very satisfied, and now he needed to find a peaceful place to calm down and cultivate.
The strange beasts and strange birds gathered on the edge of the ruins had already dispersed, and Ye Fan walked all the way out, and he did not see any fierce birds and beasts.
At this moment, the stars are dotted, the bright moon is hanging high, and night has already fallen.
Ye Fan passed by the Lingxu Cave Heaven, without any hesitation, and strode away, it was time to leave. Although he got some broken Buddha artifacts from the Great Lei Yin Temple and left them there, he didn't plan to go back to get them, in case he ran into Elder Han, it would be a big trouble.
The most important Bodhi seed has always been with him, even if he temporarily lost those broken Buddha weapons, he does not feel pity, after all, life is the most important.
Ye Fan was very fast, wearing stars and moons, and rushed out of this mountain range overnight, and the land of right and wrong behind him was getting farther and farther away, but his heart did not really let go.
Three days later, Ye Fan appeared two thousand miles away, along the way he slept in the open air, cautiously sneaking, almost never entered the town, he walked in the wilderness, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, and his heart gradually calmed down.
At this moment, it was already late at night, the clouds obscured the stars and moon, it was extremely dark, the lights were shining in front of him, and a town that was not large in scale was in sight, Ye Fan felt that he had reached a safe area, there was no need to escape, he strode forward.
When I came closer, I found that this was only a small town, and at the moment only most people had fallen asleep, and only a few lights were still shining.
Ye Fan walked into the town, took a big turn, and finally found a small shop in a remote corner that had not yet closed.
This is really a very small restaurant, there are only seven or eight tables in it, and those tables and chairs look a little old, and they are all polished and shiny, and they look antique and very clean.
"Uncle has something to eat, hurry up and get some. ”
The shopkeeper is an old man with gray hair, the years have already left marks on his face, full of wrinkles, he looks weathered, his clothes are patched a lot, and life does not seem to be very good.
Seeing an eleven or twelve-year-old boy walking around alone so late made the old man feel a little surprised, but he still responded with a kind smile: "There is only half a roast chicken, more than half a plate of beef, and some steamed buns." ”
"Okay, let's send them all. ”
"Then you wait a moment, I'll go and warm it up for you. "The restaurant is too small, and the living conditions of the old man are not very good, and he is not only the shopkeeper, but also the man and the cook.
After a while, the fragrant roast chicken and most of the dishes of beef in sauce were served, and Ye Fan's saliva was about to flow out. For more than a year, he and Pang Bo have been vegetarians all day long, and there is almost no meat in the Lingxu Cave, and the simple food in front of him makes his stomach gurgle uncontrollably.
He quickly took the bowl and chopsticks, bit the snow-white steamed bun, tore off a chicken leg, and began to gobble it up. At this moment, he felt that the most delicious food in the world was nothing more than that, and all the delicacies of the mountains and seas stood aside, far less comfortable than the few things in front of him.
"Don't worry, eat slowly, drink soup, moisten your stomach, don't choke. The old man brought a bowl of hot soup and reminded him kindly.
"Thank you, uncle, your cooking skills have made my appetite coo. Ye Fan said slurred as he stuffed food into his mouth.
Seeing that Ye Fan was not dressed like a child from a poor family, but at this moment he was so devouring it that the old man was somewhat surprised, he rolled up his patched sleeves, picked up a piece of cloth, wiped the already clean tables and chairs beside him, shook his head with a smile and said: "You are too hungry, no matter what you eat now, you will feel very sweet." ”
"Grandpa, why haven't you closed the door yet......"
At this moment, a little girl of five or six years old came out of the back room, her clothes were also patched, she was dressed very plain and simple, with two pigtails, very cute, and her red face was like a red apple.
"You go to sleep first, and it will close in a while. ”
The little girl looked at the food on the table, her big eyes couldn't take her eyes off, she quietly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, nodded subconsciously, and agreed, "Oh." ”
After a while, Ye Fan had already swept away the food on the table, stood up, and said, "Okay, uncle, you are ready to close." So saying, he took it into his bosom, but he felt a little embarrassed, and he forgot that there were no coins, no gold or silver utensils, and he could not pay the bill.
"Is it inconvenient for the little brother to have at hand?" the old man was experienced and saw his embarrassment at a glance.
"This ...... I really didn't bring any money. ”
"Ah, here the bad guys again. The little girl next to her widened her eyes and wanted to cry, staring at Ye Fan and said, "You guys are so bad, you come to eat white food all day long, you know that bullying me and grandpa will make us almost unable to eat......
Speaking of this, she looked at the chicken bones on the table, her big eyes suddenly turned red, and said, "Grandpa said that if there are no guests coming, he will give me a chicken leg to eat...... As a result, you are eating white food, and you are also here to bully us. ”
The little girl of five or six years old pouted, her long eyelashes trembled, tears suddenly rolled down, her red face was stained with tears, and she kept wiping her tears with her patched sleeves.
Obviously, their living conditions are not very good, and they are often bullied on a daily basis.
"Little sister, don't cry......" Ye Fan was really embarrassed and ashamed, this old and young man looked not easy, and his life had already fallen into an embarrassment.
"It's okay, little brother doesn't have to blame himself. I can see that you, unlike those ruffians, are not people who eat white food, and you must have really forgotten to bring money. The wrinkled old man pulled the little girl aside and said, "Don't cry, grandpa left you a piece of chicken and half a steamed bun, which won't make you hungry." ”
"Grandpa......" The little girl suddenly cried aggrievedly, and said: "I'm not for myself, because grandpa didn't eat dinner, we were bullied by those bad people all day long, and we didn't have any savings, every day like this, what should we do......"
Seeing that the clothes on the old and young man's body were patched, and hearing these words again, Ye Fan suddenly felt a sad feeling, and his heart was deeply touched, making his nose a little sour.
The life of ordinary people is full of bitterness and sweetness, and the family affection and helplessness of the old and the young made him feel moved for a long time.
"Little sister, don't cry, I'm not a bad person, although I don't have any money, I have something here that should be worth this meal. Ye Fan took out a small jade bottle, which was a bottle of herb liquid that he had exchanged for during the trial on the periphery of the ruins.
"This is a good piece of jade, too precious for me to accept. The old man shook his head and said, "When everyone is in difficulty, if the little brother passes by here again in the future, just make up the money." ”
Ye Fan sighed for a while, the old man's life was so embarrassing, and he had such a character and character, which made him have a trace of respect, and said, "You can take it, this is nothing to me." ”
"It's too precious, I really can't accept it, when you're out of the house, when everyone is in trouble, you don't have to blame yourself, little brother. The old man's hands were covered with calluses, and he resolutely pushed the jade bottle back.
Ye Fan saw that he refused, so he had to take it back.
"Since you don't want to, I'll stay and help you with some labor. At the moment, he didn't have a place to go, and found that the old man was very simple and kind, so he decided to stay for the time being, concentrate on cultivation here, and help the old man by the way.
A little girl of five or six years old, looking down at her toes, her big eyes were red, and whispered, "We can't eat ourselves......"
Ye Fan squatted down, touched the little girl's head pityingly, and said, "I won't burden you if I stay." ”
