Chapter 26 The Girl of Moonstone Town
It has been two days since he left Luoyue City. During these two days, except for a delay at Jiang Wenyuan's place, Lin Feng basically spent the rest of his time on the road. Of course, he still had the necessary rest.
Most of the places Lin Feng passed by in the past two days were sparsely populated wilderness areas, and at most he could see some small villages. Today, he finally saw a place with a slightly denser crowd. This was a village outside the city.
The town is called Yueshi Town.
Lieyun Kingdom has a vast territory, but not all places are inhabited by people. Most people are gathered in more than a dozen large cities. One such city is Luoyue City, and the closest one to Luoyue City is Tieshi City.
Yueshi Town is located between Luoyue City and Tieshi City. It is regarded as a transfer station between the two cities, so one word from each of the two cities' names is used as the town's name.
When Lin Feng came to Yueshi Town, it was noon and the sun was scorching. As soon as he entered the town, Lin Feng was drowned by the noisy shouts. As a transfer station between Luoyue City and Tieshi City, naturally caravans came and went frequently.
The population is also large. Even though this is just a small town, the shouts are almost as loud as those in the entire Luoyue City.
Suddenly, there was a burst of noise from the front, and the movement even overwhelmed the shouting here, and the movement was approaching Lin Feng. As the sound got closer and closer, Lin Feng also knew why it was so noisy.
"Catch the thief. Everyone, help catch the thief. Catch the little thief in front of you."
Lin Feng followed the sound and saw a girl, about fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing coarse linen clothes, her face was covered with dust and mud, and she looked dirty.
At this time, she was running away with a package in her arms, followed by several burly men chasing her. The girl was panting and her speed was getting slower and slower. At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed out in front of the girl and tripped her down with a kick.
On the ground.
After the girl fell to the ground, she wanted to get up and continue running away, but because she was too tired and exhausted, she stood up with difficulty and looked warily at the few big men coming behind her like a cat playing with a mouse. Her big eyes flashed.
, her bright eyes revealed a hint of panic and helplessness, but from beginning to end, she didn't say a word.
"You little thief, keep running. Why don't you stop running? You can really run and make me so tired that I can hardly breathe!" Several big men slowly walked over and one of them said teasingly.
"Stop talking nonsense to her and hand over the elixir quickly, otherwise you won't be able to leave today!"
"Why!" the girl yelled angrily.
There were many people gathered around, but they were all watching the excitement. No one came forward to speak. Everyone acted as if the matter had nothing to do with them. In Yueshi Town, such things are too common.
The world is indifferent, but Lin Feng is different. He is still a passionate young man, and when he was in Lancun, he felt too much enthusiasm from the simple villagers, which made him unable to ignore these things.
"What's going on?" Lin Feng walked out of the crowd and asked several people.
If they were ordinary people, these big men would not pay attention at all, but when they saw Lin Feng in luxurious clothes, they guessed that he was from a wealthy family, so it was better not to offend him.
So, the leader said: "This little thief stole our elixir."
"You're talking nonsense. This is the elixir I found myself. It's obviously you who want to rob it. You
These bandits, who here doesn’t know your character?” the girl said without showing any signs of weakness.
"Hey, Miss Tang, you keep saying we are bandits, have you forgotten what your dead father did?" one of the bandits teased.
"you……"
"Okay, stop!" Lin Feng interrupted their quarrel and said to several big men: "I think you are all monks in the physical training realm, but she is an ordinary person, and you say she stole from you
The elixir, then I want to ask, how did an ordinary person steal it?"
"This..." the leader of the big man said hesitantly: "She stole it when we weren't paying attention."
"The monk's spiritual awareness is far beyond that of ordinary people, and there are seven or eight of you. Tell me how she can steal the elixir without your knowledge?" Lin Feng asked.
A group of big men were unable to refute Lin Feng's words, and one of them with a bad temper yelled: "Boy, this matter has nothing to do with you. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, so as not to get into trouble."
"Oh? Are you threatening me?"
"You can think so." Several big men were already gearing up, ready to take action at any time.
"Wait." The big man at the head stopped his men and said with a gloomy face: "Let's go."
"Brother, he..."
"Stop talking, let's go." Those big men wanted to say something more. After the leader interrupted them, he turned around and left. Although the others were unwilling, they had no choice. The boss had already left, so they could only
I can follow along.
"Thank you." The girl was a little surprised to see the bandits leaving directly, but she still thanked Lin Feng, and then ran away quickly without waiting for Lin Feng's reply.
Seeing that the matter was over, everyone watching the excitement also left. They originally thought there was a good show to watch, but unexpectedly the bandits, who had always been strong, gave in.
People couldn't help but start to guess who this young man was, who actually drove away the bandits with just a few words. They didn't believe that the bandits left because of wrongdoing. In the eyes of the bandits, he was the truth.
At this time, not to mention others, even Lin Feng himself was a little confused. The group of people were so aggressive that they originally thought that this fight was inevitable, but who would have thought that they would just run away.
After a group of bandits left far enough, one of them asked: "Brother, why are we leaving? Didn't the gang leader ask us to target that little girl? And today she actually picked an elixir, and it seemed to be of good quality.
, it may be a second-grade elixir, wouldn’t we make a lot of money by snatching it away?”
"That little girl is in Moonstone Town. It doesn't matter when we go to deal with her. She won't be able to use the elixir for the time being. We'll grab it in a few days." The bandit leader explained: "My main thing is
I'm a little afraid of that young guy who's coming forward."
"What's there to be afraid of? He's only a teenager. Although he looks like he has some background, as long as we don't hurt him, the people behind him won't do anything to us. After all, there's no one behind us.
." A young man said contemptuously.
"You have only joined the gang for a short time and have had too little experience." The leader shook his head and said, "I have followed several gang leaders to many places to rob, and I have seen a lot. Do you know what that kid is carrying behind his back?
"
"What else could it be? It's just a broken sword. The body of the sword is already rusty. It shows that its quality is not very good. Although it is somewhat extraordinary, it is at most an ordinary weapon." The kid who talked back just now said
He said again.
"Huh, stupid!" The leader snorted coldly and said in a low voice: "Look carefully, there are still little lights on the green patina. From my experience, it is definitely a weapon.
At that age, he could carry a weapon with him. You can imagine how profound this person's background is.
It’s better that we don’t have contact with this kind of person. If we make him unhappy even a little bit, we might lose our heads. I think he looks unfamiliar and is probably just passing by. It’s not too late for us to wait for him to leave before taking action.”
"So it's like this. It's my eyesight that's stupid, but it's my brother who's better, otherwise we might all be in trouble today." The little guy also realized his mistake and flattered him vigorously.
"That's right, the days I spent licking blood from my swords over the past few decades were not in vain." The leader also smiled proudly, then called to his men and ordered: "Let's go, there is such a person in Yueshi Town, let's
Hurry and report to the gang leader."
"Okay!" Everyone echoed, and a group of bandits happily embarked on their way back to the gang. They were all as happy as two-hundred-pound children.
Back to Lin Feng, when Lin Feng came to Yueshi Town, although it was still noon, it was almost dark now because he was delayed for a while and went shopping in the market in the town.
"We have to find an inn to stay quickly." Lin Feng said to himself.
However, he was still a step late. There were frequent caravans in Yueshi Town and the population was always very dense. The supply of inns was always in short supply. It was already evening and all the inns were full. Lin Feng walked through the streets and alleys until the sky darkened.
It was completely dark, and he couldn't find a place to stay.
Because there are many caravans here, there are also many bandits and robbers. At night, neither local residents nor passing merchants go out. Lin Feng walked on the deserted street and sighed: "Hey, today
We’ll have to sleep outdoors again tonight.”
At this moment, a figure walked out of the medicine shop in front of her. It was the girl she met before. At this time, the girl had changed into clean clothes. Although she was still wearing coarse linen clothes, she still looked slim and graceful.
After the dirt on her face was cleaned, she still had a slightly childish face but was fair and white. She had a pair of clear, big eyes and she looked like a pretty girl now.
"Are you the young master just now?" When Lin Feng saw her, she also saw Lin Feng. Seeing Lin Feng's embarrassed look, she probably guessed that Lin Feng had not found accommodation because she was a local.
It is often the case that we cannot find accommodation at night.
So, she said to Lin Feng: "If you don't have a place to stay, you might as well go to my house and stay overnight."
"This is not good!" Lin Feng said hesitantly. Although it is a good thing to have a place to live, he and this girl have only just met each other. They have only met each other once and have not even spoken a word. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to go there rashly.
good.
"It's okay. The young master came to my rescue today, and I was in a hurry. I didn't even say thank you properly. Now that the young master is in trouble, it's time for me to repay you." The girl said seriously.
