Chapter 87: To the North
The village where Xiang Nan Xiangbei lives is a little far from Fengming Town. At dusk, the brother and sister came to Wang Lai and the fur shop.
Xiang Nan was obviously dressed up carefully today, and a red hairpin that was not tacky was inserted on her head. She was very healthy and her body that had been exercising all year round, which made her look a bit beautiful.
"Master Lin, you are finally here." Xiangbei hurriedly said when he saw Lin Dong.
"You two, please sit down. Lin Dong is so embarrassed that he has been troubled by the fact that he has not come here today."
Xiang Nan Xiangbei came to Lin Dong to sit down. Xiang Nan's eyes kept spinning on Lin Dong, not at all as shy as his little daughter's house in the city. The mountain girl was always so hot.
Looking north at Lin Dong's eyes were very strange.
"Yangbei, what are you always staring at me?"
"Master, have your skills improved again? Your body has become one with this room, and your breath is indistinguishable. You hunt in the mountains all the time to the north. Only the most brilliant prey will have this temperament."
Lin Dong frowned, "Are you saying I'm like a beast?"
puff!
Xiang Nan couldn't help but spray a sip of tea.
Xiangbei said embarrassedly: "It's absolutely not that meaning, it's just that the master's body movement is really brilliant, and Xiangbei was surprised to see it."
After the last time [Contract] transformed himself, Lin Dong's body became extremely strong, but this time Lin Dong's strength did not increase at all. He was wondering what this bastard Karim had done on him.
Jing Xiangbei Yiyu Lin Dong immediately understood.
Indeed, my breath has become more convergent than before. As the environment changes, my breath will change accordingly. I will be inconspicuous wherever I go, and I will be integrated with the environment.
At the level of a master, it seems that this bastard Karim is indeed a little trick.
Wang Laihe brought out the roast chicken and wine that had been prepared long ago. Lin Dong kept him sitting together. He refused to do so. He closed the door and went to the backyard to have dinner with his wife and children. Only Lin Dong and the other two were left in the front yard.
Lin Dong did not drink, raised the teacup and said, "I agreed to come back as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, it took so many days to delay. Lin Dong apologized to both of you with tea instead of wine."
"Master Lin, what are you talking about? We should thank you on behalf of the Twelve Villages in the Mountains. As soon as you left, the officers and soldiers came and sealed up the entire Fengming Mountain. Although Xiangbei led people to search in secret, they could not find anything. He took a lot of money for you in vain. If it weren't for the money, we, the people in the mountain, would have starved to death long ago." Xiangbei said frankly, full of gratitude in his words.
Lin Dong nodded, "I already know these things, but I don't know what these soldiers are saying about closing the mountain?"
Xiangbei looked around alertly, lowered his head and whispered: "Master Lin, do you still remember the weirdos who chased you?"
"Is it them?"
"Well, you told me not to go into the cave to explore. These officers and soldiers did go to the cave in a brigade, and there were vehicles pulling out the corpses of those strange people one after another. There were many cave entrances in Fengyue Mountain, but I didn't hear that these strange people lived in these caves, and I don't know where these people came from."
Lin Dong naturally knew that these strange people in the cave were strange. These people looked strange and respected God. You should know that there was no god in the Bimoon Continent.
According to what Xiangbei said, these people suddenly appeared in this cave. I don’t know where they came from and who they were? What kind of god is the respected god? Why did the officers and soldiers secretly encircle these people?
Lin Dong thought of many questions but had no answers.
"Where did these troops come from?" Lin Dong asked.
"Once a hunter sneaked up with the army's camp and heard the chattering soldiers themselves say that they were personal soldiers of the Ian family, called the "Warhammer" Army. This army was originally 3,000, but it only expanded to 30,000 in the past year. I also heard that as long as the Ian family's right-age man must join the army, these soldiers complained very much on weekdays."
"Haha, the emperor's relatives? This is interesting. Expand the army? Send your own relatives on a difficult job? Secretly surrounding the mountains?" Lin Dong said in his heart.
After thinking for a while, Lin Dong shook his head and thought to himself, "It's all my fault. It's not worth consuming brain cells for these people. It's better to think about yourself first."
"To the north, now the mountain has been closed. Have they ever said when it will be lifted?"
Xiangbei sighed, "Who knew this, but there were fewer troops stationed in the mountains, maybe it was soon."
"What's the quick? If this mountain doesn't have to be unblocked, we all will starve to death." Xiang Nanxin said frankly and said his worries.
"I'll pay the employment fee I owe you, which will allow you to hold on for a while. As for you, you still have to find a way out for yourself in the future." Lin Dong said.
In fact, Lin Dong had a very urge to help these mountain people, but Lin Dong understood one thing: he could help for a while but not for a lifetime, and he always had to rely on himself.
"Master Lin, we say we can't ask for anything about this employment fee. You have helped us enough, and we haven't helped us with anything. We must never ask for this money." Xiangbei said seriously.
Although Xiang Nan also agreed with Xiang Bei's statement, when she thought of the poor villagers in the village, Xiang Nan couldn't help but sigh.
"This is not OK. How can I regret what I promised at the beginning? Besides, it is not your fault that I didn't find a clue. Don't argue about this. You are in a situation where I am unkind and unrighteous. Although I hate benevolence, morality and other things the most, I always have to count my words. If you want me, Lin Dong, to be a person who doesn't count your words, you should refuse."
Lin Dong's speech was very useful to the Xiang brothers and sisters who had always been simple. Xiangbei stamped his feet: "Master Lin, Xiangbei is not my mother-in-law's mother. Since you said that, I will accept it with shamelessness. The people of Fengming Mountain Twelve Villages will never forget this kind of kindness. You will give me some instructions in the future."
Lin Dong nodded. He had a good impression of Xiangbei. Although he was not old but his mind was more meticulous than ordinary mountain people and had the simplicity of mountain people, he was a rare talent.
Moreover, Xiangbei looked very similar to Parker. He was both big black and stubborn, tall and fat. When he saw him, Lin Dong remembered Parker, and didn't know what happened to this guy.
"Xiangbei, what are your plans for the future? It would be fine if Fengming Mountain opened soon, but if it was closed for three years or five years?" Lin Dong asked Xiangbei.
Xiangbei took a sip of wine and looked a little confused, "To be honest, I have grown up in this mountain since I was a child, and I have no idea how to live after leaving the mountain."
"Who said brother? Who doesn't know that you are the smartest hunter in Fengming Mountain? You will definitely be able to go outside." Xiang Nan was very optimistic about his brother.
"Going north, what are your specialties? Apart from hunting," Lin Dong asked.
Shake his head north.
"Brother, don't you have any unique skills? Let me show you Master Lin...Master Lin." Xiang Nan said.
Xiangbei smiled, "Sister, how can you take that thing out to meet people? Don't make fun of me."
"I really want to see it." Lin Dong said.
Xiangbei felt embarrassed and touched his head, "It's nothing, it's just that my hands will shine whenever I'm lucky. It's just fun, it's useless."
Lin Dong squinted his eyes and his hands were glowing? Could it be...
"Look north, do it and see."
Xiangbeiting was embarrassed to stretch out his hands, "Master Lin, look."
After saying that, Xiangbei began to hold his breath, his big black face was so purple.
At this time, Xiangbei's hands faintly emitted a light yellow light, the light was not strong and he was unsteady.
A light flashed in Lin Dong's eyes, "What a good guy, this is Xuanli!"
Puchi!
Xiangbei could no longer hold it in, and gasped heavily, "That's it... that's it. I accidentally discovered it, and I don't know why."
Xiang Nan quickly patted Xiangbei's back with his hand for a while, "Master Lin, do you know well and know what's going on? Are you sick?"
"It's not only not sick, but also a great thing. Have you ever taken the spiritual power test in the north?" Lin Dong asked.
"No, I only know that the spiritual power test was taken in the city when I was twelve years old. It is not easy for us to go out to the mountain once. I heard that some people have asked their children to participate, but they have not been selected, so few people in the mountains will take the test."
Lin Dong nodded, "How old are you this year?"
"nineteen."
"It seems that I'm a little older, but it may not be possible. Looking at Bei, I can already release the mysterious power and have never participated in any training. Maybe I have a chance." Lin Dong said in his heart.
After thinking about it, Lin Dong said, "Looking north, your hands will emit a pale yellow light because you have mysterious power, which means you have the talent to become a war card master."
"Battle Card Division! A powerful battle card division like you!" Xiang Nan couldn't help but stand up excitedly.
"It's just that I'm a little older, but this is not absolute. If you have excellent talent enough, you still have the chance to become a war card master. Would you like to go out of the mountains with me?" Lin Dong said.
Lin Dong did not say anything. After all, he was not sure whether Xiangbei could succeed at his current age. If Xiangbei really had this meaning, Lin Dong would be willing to help him.
Xiangbei hesitated a little, but Xiang Nan, who was outspoken, couldn't care so much. "You promise Master Lin, do you want to stay in the mountains all your life? You are nineteen and haven't married yet. Isn't it because our family is too poor? If you can become a war card master, you will have money to marry a wife. Our father will laugh when he looks underground. Please agree to Master Lin."
Although Xiangbei is an outstanding hunter in the mountains, his family is very poor. On the one hand, Xiangbei is kind and often helps others. On the other hand, Xiang's mother is weak and sick, and she spends countless money on medicine every year. Therefore, the brother and sister have never gotten married. In the mountains, they are already old young people before they get married.
Xiang Nan has always cared about her brother's marriage, but she has always refused groups of people who are proposing to take care of her mother. She just wanted to let her brother get married soon so that she could get married with confidence. After a while, she was delayed to her age now.
"Master Lin, my mother is weak and sick, and my sister has not gotten married. Only the mother and daughter are left after leaving. Xiangbei really cannot leave. You are grateful for your kindness, Xiangbei." Xiangbei Chen Ken said.
Xiang Nan muttered, "Brother, I can take care of my mother. We both will live a good life. When will you not be so stupid? Think about yourself more! I will tell my mother when I go back and let her drive you out!"
After saying that, Xiang Nan turned to Lin Dong again, "Master Lin, don't worry, my brother will definitely go back, and I would like to take care of him more."
Lin Dong was very moved by the brother and sister.
"Xiangbei, since your mother is old, it is always inconvenient to live in the mountains. Why not let Xiang Nan and your mother move to the city? The medical facilities there are much better than those in the mountains, so that you are really filial. As for these expenses, let me pay for them." Lin Dong said.
Lin Dong has a very bad habit. Although he is vicious to his enemies, he will always try his best to help anyone he thinks is good. He never takes saving the world as his mission, but he is indeed warm to his friends.
"I can't do it. Master Lin, my Xiang family already owe you too much. What is the reason for you to help us again and again?"
Lin Dong looked stern, "Xiangbei, are you looking down on me, Lin Dong? Who do I need a reason to help me? Anyway, if you don't listen to me this time, you will look down on me, hum!"
Lin Dong shamelessly took out his killer move against honest people, "wearing a big hat". Although Xiangbei is meticulous, he can't wash away the kindness of the mountain people. Lin Dong's big hat hit Xiangbei's head immediately made him breathless.
Xiang Nan was also shocked by Lin Dong's words, but she was more grateful to Lin Dong. "Don't you often see Master Lin when you get to the city?" Xiang Nan thought, and she was raving in her heart.
Lin Dong took out a box that had been prepared, which contained the money that was supposed to be paid to the mountain people. The mountain was very backward and there was no need for a money card.
"This is the employment fee. If you take it back, you will get one cent. I have something to leave tomorrow. Tomorrow morning, I will meet you brothers and sisters and your mother here. Just bring some clothes with you. I will arrange the others." Lin Dong said firmly, not allowing Xiangbei to refuse.
Xiangbei hesitated for a moment, his eyes gradually became firm, and he drank a big mouthful of strong wine, and said firmly: "Master Lin, I promise you, but you also have to promise Xiangbei something, otherwise I wouldn't go."
"What's the matter?"
"From now on, my life will be yours."
Lin Dong just wanted to help Xiangbei, and he had no intention of bribing people's hearts. However, seeing Xiangbei so decisive, I am afraid that he would not go out of the mountains if he did not agree to Xiangbei's death.
Lin Dong nodded and said, "Trade."
......
The next morning, the mountain style was cold outside, but the Xiang mother and daughter were extremely warm in their hearts.
Anyway, I had to return to the imperial capital on the way to Sany Academy. Lin Dong drove a shuttle to the imperial capital with his family.
I spent 300,000 pesos to buy a four-room house near Cedar Hospital. The house was not big but it had all the furniture, which was enough for Xiang's mother and daughter to live. I also left Xiang Nan with one million pesos of living expenses, so that she could buy some food, clothing and supplies.
