Chapter 14, The Beginning of a Lonely Journey
It was dawn again, and half of Quang Binh Island had disappeared into the crazy fire of last night, and you could still hear the sound of running water, and the occasional birdsong echoing around, which was very good.
Lin Chong, who had been in a coma all night, also woke up leisurely at this time, moved his body, and found that everything was fine, even the place on his chest that was scratched by the kraken was scarred, and he was puzzled, and looked around, but in addition to the peach forest that was burned out, there was also the charred kraken, the stream flowing not far away, the three or two fishermen's huts, and the calm sea water, which did not set off a single wave, and the blue sky, the white clouds floated freely, and there was nothing to see anymore.
Scratching his head, Lin Chong recalled everything that happened last night, but except that he rushed to Shamoke like crazy, and then he was beaten and fell into a coma, so he couldn't remember it anymore, on this Guangping Island, it seemed that last night was too terrible, and even the fishermen disappeared and went to other places.
Lin Zhong walked in the burned peach forest, looking at everything around him, the smell of burning stimulated him to cover his nose, after a while, it may be that the burnt kraken smelled too bad, Lin Chong no longer stopped, and walked out of the peach forest quickly, and came to the stream.
Lin Chong put his hands together, picked up a handful of early morning stream water and splashed it on his face, the cold stream water came with a cool feeling, which made Lin Chong sober up a lot at once, and gently wiped the water on his face, Lin Chong raised his head and looked at the sky and thought.
A drop of water dripped down Lin Chong's chin and fell to the ground, which seemed to remind Lin Chong, shaking his head slightly, Lin Chong threw out the things that he couldn't figure out in his mind, looked at the direction of the sun, clapped his hands, and said: "I don't want to, how can I think about what happened, since Bai Yunfei can't come, then I will go to Fusang by myself to see if the place where the sun rises is like the world, buried with amazing wealth and endless treasures." With that, with a finger of his right hand, Edgeworth rose up and flew to the east.
But it was said that Bai Yunfei and the four of them had been looking for a day in the barren mountains and mountains of Chudi, but they didn't see the shadow of the demon beast, and they didn't even hear the rumors that the demon beast hurt people. The four of them had to temporarily give up searching in the green mountains and bad waters, and after staying overnight in the wilderness, they walked on the official road.
After walking for most of the day, it was noon, although it was late autumn, but the scorching sun was still very hot, the four of them were already very thirsty, not far from the big tree under a small shed, it was a tea stall, there were already four or five people resting in it, the four of them looked at each other, needless to say, they all walked over, asked for a bowl of tea, and rested for a while by the way.
As soon as he sat down, Chu Tianhe couldn't wait to drink all the tea in the bowl in one gulp, not to mention, this cool tea really quenched his thirst, after Chu Tianhe drank this bowl of tea, he suddenly felt refreshed, and the sky didn't seem to be so hot.
Bai Yunfei took a sip of tea, and without waiting for the coolness to moisten his heart, he spit it out, and opened his mouth to stop Li Bingxian and Li Xueyan, who had not yet drunk it: "Don't drink it, this tea is poisonous." Li Bingxian Li Xueyan stopped drinking tea when she heard this, raised her head and looked at Bai Yunfei, and the four or five people around her also stopped their movements when they heard Bai Yunfei's words, Chu Tianhe looked at Bai Yunfei blankly and couldn't speak.
It is rare for the breeze to blow, and a few leaves on the tree fly with the wind, through a little sunlight, sprinkled on the ground, bringing a trace of peace.
Directly opposite Bai Yunfei and the four of them, a ragged scribe was sitting at the table, silently sipping tea, nodding from time to time, with a hint of satisfaction at the corner of his mouth, a bowl of tea was drunk, and a little tea flowed out, the scribe wiped his mouth with the dirty sleeve corners, closed his eyes and savored it carefully, completely unaware of the surrounding situation, and tasted it alone.
For a long time, there was silence in the tea shed.
The scribe raised his head, there was no trace of essence in his cloudy eyes, and he couldn't find a smooth place on his withered face, he looked at Bai Yunfei, who said poisonous, smiled indifferently, grinned, revealing his withered yellow teeth, and several places were still hollow, and said: "Young man, don't be so nervous, this tea is a unique black tea in Chudi, although the taste is bitter, it has a rosin fragrance, and the taste is mellow." ”
Bai Yunfei's face was stunned, he didn't know what to say, and the tea shed also resumed its due noise with the scribe's words, Chu Tianhe glared at Bai Yunfei, and asked for a bowl of tea to drink.
Bai Yunfei silently drank the tea, lowered his head, and stopped talking.
The scribe slowly got up and walked out, and when he passed by Bai Yunfei's table, his lips moved lightly: "Young man, how can there be a kind of evil qi entangled in your body?" Bai Yunfei raised his head to look at the scribe, pointed at himself, and said, "Me?" The scribe nodded lightly and said, "Seeing that the evil qi has been gathering in the body for a long time, young man, have you been taking the medicine condensed by flesh and blood for a long time, otherwise how could there be so much accumulation." ”
Bai Yunfei frowned, looked at the scribe, but did not speak again.
The scribe also said, seeing Bai Yunfei frowning, just smiled, and slowly walked out After a while, under the noon sun, the figure of the scribe gradually disappeared from view.
Leaving the tea stall, the four of them continued to walk forward along the official road, and after walking for a long time, they entered the mountains of Chudi, which was no longer a wilderness, empty and uninhabited.
The four of them traveled for a long time, and there was no Edgeworth flying, first, the scenery in this area was very good, and second, in order to find traces of demons, naturally they couldn't Edgeworth.
After walking for three days in a row, there were gradually more pedestrians along the way, and in front of the road, there was a small town, although it looked small, but for the four people who had been walking for a few days, it was indescribable joy.
The four of them walked over, only to see the stone tablet at the entrance of the town engraved with the words "Zaohe Town", which is the name of the town.
The four of them walked in the town, and the voices of the people gradually became clear, the official road passed through the center of the town, on both sides of the road, the houses were like, there were a few shops, the sound of selling was endless, and there were some vendors along the street, picking up the items to be sold, a good picture of the world.
In the distance, the bustling crowd looked like something big had happened. Chu Tianhe raised his eyebrows and walked towards the nearest shop, Bai Yunfei and the three of them glanced at each other and silently followed behind him.
Chu Tianhe entered the store, walked straight to the counter, and asked a middle-aged man sitting behind the counter wearing gray cloth clothes and a horned hat, who seemed to be the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, this is so noisy in the distance, do you know what's going on?" "Oh, a lot of people have died in the town recently, they all say that they are monsters, I advise you, don't go to see it, it's really scared to death." The middle-aged man replied.
Chu Tianhe was about to ask again, but he didn't want the person to speak first and catch up with the person: "Let's go, don't ask again, curiosity will kill people." After speaking, he pointed out the door and let Chu Tianhe go out. Chu Tianhe's originally open mouth couldn't help but close, and he had to walk out, only to reach the door, and just happened to meet Bai Yunfei who walked in.
