Chapter 424 The Last Hope
At night, Wen Bingyan returned to the inn where he and others temporarily stayed. He sat quietly with the lights and looked at the stars outside the window. His heart was as complicated as the smells of mixed feelings, and he slowly came out of his mind.
The maid outside the door carefully pushed the door in with a basin of hot water. Seeing her depressed appearance, she couldn't help feeling a little distressed and persuaded her politely: "Miss, maybe Mr. Zhou might not be accurate during the day. Let's go to other cities as soon as possible tomorrow to inquire. The world is so big that you can always buy enough food!"
Wen Bingyan looked back at her, but shook her head gently: "I actually understand that Master Zhou has no reason to deceive us. Nowadays, most of the food can only provide our own food and clothing. If it weren't for the prosperous years, how could there be extra grain to share with others? Even if we were pieced together, we brought so much money, and the real food we could buy might be less than half of..."
"But the key is that not only now, as long as the famine lasts for a day in Peishan, we need more food! Where can we find so much food?!"
Thinking of the tragic situation of starvation in her hometown, she couldn't help but feel a burst of pain in her heart, her eyes were red, and she couldn't help but cry in her voice.
Over the past few days, she has come out with everyone's hope, hoping to bring enough food back. For this reason, even if she encounters great difficulties, she always remains strong. Even when she is caught and imprisoned by the bandits, the first thought in her heart was what should the people in her family do...
However, at this moment, when she knew that this beautiful vision would eventually fail, she finally couldn't bear it.
Her emotional changes made the maid feel sad and sobbing softly.
In the quiet room, there were only two women's faint sorrowful crying echoing.
But suddenly, Wen Bingyan's mind was filled with the scene when she parted with the girl named Bai Yu during the day. She vaguely remembered something, and she couldn't help but stop crying. Her eyes raised her head with red eyes and looked at the maid: "Do you still remember the little girl named Bai Yu who was locked up with us at that time?"
"That little girl with silver-white hair?" Although the lady suddenly mentioned her for some reason, the maid nodded in confusion, "She was very strange, and what she said was strange..."
It is because they are too incredible that they all have some impression.
"Well..." Wen Bingyan remembered something and stood up in a panic, "She gave us a jade token at that time. Do you still remember?"
"Jade Tyrant?" The maid was stunned, and then helped search for a while, and finally found the jade Tyrant that looked very exquisite in a pack. Now, after looking closely, I feel that it is quite gentle to buy it, and it seems quite precious.
"Miss, you...you don't think what she said is true, do you?"
The maid saw that the lady held the jade tablet tightly as if she was looking at a life-saving straw, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried and said stammeringly.
At that time, the girl seemed a little bored when she was detained, so she talked to them about a lot of things, including why they were caught.
Although they were a little surprised at that time why this girl was still so calm when she was caught by the bandits, it could even be said to be a little too lively. However, they guessed that she might be just young and pretended to be calm. So they thought of being an "elder", and said a lot to her with the feeling of comforting her.
This naturally includes the extremely serious famine incident in their hometown. They just happened to pass by here and wanted to buy a lot of food.
Ben just mentioned it simply, but he didn't expect that the girl listened very seriously and asked a few more questions. After confirming that, she just hesitated slightly and gave them the jade token.
The original words of Miss Bai Yu at that time are still very strange when you think back.
"We are destined to be, so let's give it to you as a gift. Don't underestimate it. This is a very powerful place where there are many monsters and monsters, which are very scary, but at the same time, there are everything you want. As long as you have the courage to go over, you can buy everything!"
"If we can go out alive, if you really have no way out, you may be able to try this method. But remember that there are monsters everywhere, so you mortals may suffer from serious illness once you go there! If it is not a last resort, don't go!"
Miss Bai Yu said seriously and said seriously at that time, and she could tell the mysterious place so vividly, as if there was only the heavens and the earth, especially the words and sentences such as gods and ghosts in her mouth were even more incredible.
It was precisely because of this that they didn't take it seriously at that time. They just thought that this little girl was scared and started talking nonsense.
However, at this moment, the maid was surprised to find that the lady seemed to really want to try it as the other party said?!
Wen Bingyan nodded gently, and slowly rubbed the jade token with his fingertips. He felt the warm touch faintly coming from above, and felt even more at ease.
"We have already reached this point, why not try it? Instead of waiting for death, it is better to try it. Perhaps there is a last chance..."
"But what the little girl said is so strange." The maid couldn't help but persuade.
Wen Bingyan explained thoughtfully: "Although it is indeed very strange, do you still remember the fox demon that Mr. Ye beaten away in the clan at that time? If even the fox demons are real, then other ghosts and gods may also exist. Then the mysterious place that Miss Bai Yu said may also be real!"
The maid was stunned, as if she had only realized this level after reminding her. She trembled slightly, and couldn't help but feel a little scared in her eyes, and she said tremblingly: "But, but Miss, if what Miss Bai Yu said is true, isn't that all the place full of monsters? Will we be eaten alive by those monsters when we enter?!"
After all, among all the legends, except for the fox demons being more ambiguous, stories about demons and ghosts are extremely cruel, and killing people is very common, so they cannot help but be afraid.
However, Wen Bingyan shook her head and said firmly: "If there is really a chance to buy a lot of food, then I will go and explore even if it is a dragon's pond!"
What's more, Miss Bai Yu had mentioned before that as long as she didn't take the initiative to cause trouble, she would usually not encounter any special trouble.
As for the possible root cause, it is just a small matter in comparison.
