Chapter Eighty Seven: Little Girl

"Boom~"

"Driving!Driving!·······"

On the official road, more than 150 knights, riding tall horses, galloping by, bringing up rolls of smoke and dust.

"Well!"

A man running in the front suddenly tightened his horse's head, then pointed to a vague outline in front and said, "Master, Shitian Town is ahead. After passing through Shitian Town, you will enter the scope of Yecheng. My subordinates suggest that the master rest in Shitian Town tonight. I will send someone to check the situation ahead and make plans."

In the middle of the horse team, Liu Feng lifted the hood on his head and showed a slightly tired handsome face, "Okay, in order not to attract attention, everyone will scatter into the town later."

"promise!"

The knights around responded loudly.

After a stick of incense, Liu Feng had become a middle-aged uncle with a vicissitudes of face, dressed as a man from the martial arts world. The four people were surrounded by monk Shankong from the Dachan Temple, Wu Sheng, an expert of external skills, Xu Tu, and Xu of the Jinyiwei. All four of them were disguised and changed their appearance.

With these four people protecting him, as long as he does not encounter a large army siege, Liu Feng's safety will not be a problem.

Because the Minshan bandits blocked the road, many passing merchants and convoys were stranded in Shitian Town. When they walked into the town, they were not only not deserted, but were a little lively. However, many people also showed sadness. After all, the road was blocked and the goods were stranded here and could not be sold. The longer the time, the greater the loss.

The town is not big, and there is only one inn to stay. When Liu Feng and others arrived, the rooms were already full of people. The remaining large shop could barely fit in a few people.

Xu Tu refused on the spot when he heard this. In order to ensure Liu Feng's safety, it is impossible to move into a large shop with mixed personnel.

The five people came out of the inn and prepared to find another place to live.

In the corner of the wall opposite the inn, a thin girl with a disheveled face and a torn dress was staring at the guests entering and leaving the inn opposite her. When she saw Liu Feng and the other two, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her dirty little face was a little calm that was inconsistent with her age.

After thinking for a while, the little girl immediately stood up and followed the wall on the side of the road, like a little mouse, carefully avoiding the carriages and pedestrians passing by on the road.

As soon as the little girl followed, Xu Tu and others noticed her existence. After all, the little girl's tracking skills were too poor. After finding that there were no other abnormalities, she ignored her and let her follow her.

After walking about two streets, the little girl who was originally just following behind suddenly accelerated her pace and followed her with her short legs.

Xu Tu's eyes flashed with a sharp look, and he suddenly turned around and blocked the little girl.

"Are you looking for a place to live?"

The little girl was not afraid of being angry and asked directly.

Xu Tu looked at the little girl with scrutiny eyes for a while, then looked at Liu Feng, waiting for him to make a decision.

"That's right."

Liu Feng spoke.

"I know there is a place to stay, but it costs twenty cents a night. If you agree, I will take you there."

"Okay, but look at the place first and lead the way."

When the little girl heard this, she immediately showed a hint of joy. She led the four of them in one direction, and her steps became much lighter. It was obvious that she was in a very good mood.

"You followed behind to observe us?"

Liu Feng immediately became interested in the little girl who was about seven or eight years old but was like a little adult.

"Um?"

When the little girl walking in front led the way heard this, her body froze and turned around suddenly, with a hint of vigilance and annoyance in her eyes. She was obviously so careful, but she didn't expect to be discovered. What went wrong? The most important thing is that these people actually discovered it, pretending to be unaware of it, and lied to the child, and they didn't seem to be good people.

"We discovered that you followed up from the inn, but you don't have to worry, we are not bad guys."

Liu Feng said with a smile.

"My mom said, that's what bad guys said."

The little girl said frivolously, and moved back step by step. Although she tried hard to show a calm look on her face, the panic in her eyes could not be concealed.

Suddenly she glared at Liu Feng and shouted in surprise, "Dad, why are you here!"

Hearing the footsteps coming from behind, Liu Feng and others turned around and saw a man walking towards here, but at this moment he looked puzzled. He didn't even have a wife, so where did he get his daughter?

"This girl is quite interesting."

Liu Feng turned around and looked at the small figure who was hiking into the alley like a frightened little rabbit in front of him, "Let's go, let's follow and take a look."

“Hohu~”

After walking around the alleys for several times, the little girl leaned against the wall and looked at the back in shock. After finding that no one was following her, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“It’s so unlucky.”

After a while, she muttered, kicked off a piece of gravel on the ground with her feet, then shook her head and walked home.

When she returned to the door of a dilapidated yard, the little girl reached out to rub her little face that was red from the cold, showed a smile, and pushed the door open and went in, "Mom, I'm back."

"Where are you going crazy again? Why did you come back so late? I left you a bun in the pot, and you can get it yourself."

In the yard, a pale woman was sitting there, washing the clothes in the wooden plate hard, her hands soaked in water were frozen purple-black, and next to the wooden plate there was a large plate of piles of clothes that had not been washed yet.

"Mom, have you eaten?"

The little girl looked at the clothes that seemed to be endless and asked.

The woman wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand and smiled and said, "Mom has eaten it. You can go to bed after you finish eating. Mom has to wash these clothes."

"oh."

The little girl's eyes rolled, ran into the simple stove next to her, took out a gray steamed bun from the pot, she licked her lips, and carefully broke it in half.

She hid half of it in her arms and walked out with the other half.

"Mom, I'm full, and there is still half of it not finished here. Please help me eat it."

"If you can't finish eating, just keep it for tomorrow if you are hungry, and you won't be hungry."

When the little girl heard this, her little face frowned. She was about to speak when suddenly the wooden door of the yard was snapped. She looked up and saw the five people outside through the fence, and her face turned pale.

"Mom, there are bad guys!"

"What bad guy? Girl, you're not causing trouble outside, right?"

The woman suddenly became alert, walked to the side quickly, and picked up a piece of firewood.

"Miss, you don't have to be afraid. We have no malice, because the inns in the town are full of people. We wanted to find a place to stay overnight. I just heard the little girl say there is a place to let us stay. However, when she led the way, she suddenly treated us as bad people. We had no choice but to find this place. If there is any offense, please be more forgiving."

Chu Liu stood outside the fence and explained to the two mothers and daughters inside.
