"But we have already helped him. We have no idea what kind of person he is. You trust me when you entrust your life to me. I can't let anyone who I have never met appear in our team!"
Then Brother Xiong came close to Jia Ling's ear, pointed at the corpse of the beast on the side and whispered, "I know you are so kind and want to save him, but are you sure that this person won't covet our prey? What if he takes advantage of everyone in the middle of the night?
What should I do if I have evil intentions while sleeping? Have you ever thought about the dangers involved?"
Jialing's beautiful eyebrows furrowed tighter and tighter. She really didn't think about it that much. Now that she thought about it, what Brother Xiong said was not wrong.
Knowing a person's face but not knowing his heart is difficult to paint a dragon or a snake. There is indeed a certain risk in accepting someone you have never met rashly.
This is not her problem alone, but a safety issue for everyone. No one can explain to the family members of her companions if something goes wrong.
Qin Tian listened to the conversation between the two of them. Seeing Jia Ling's embarrassed look, he smiled softly and said, "Thank you for the water. I, Qin Tian, will definitely repay you if I have the chance."
Facing everyone present, Qin Tian clasped his fists and said, "Everyone, if you excuse me, I'll take my leave now."
Just when Qin Tian was about to turn around and leave, Brother Xiong shouted, "Wait a minute."
Qin Tian turned around and looked at him in confusion, only to see Brother Xiong say, "There are many dangers outside. It is too dangerous for you to leave alone like this. I will make an exception and let you stay here for one night. You must leave at dawn."
."
Brother Xiong said this in one breath and turned around to leave. Jia Ling, who had looked gloomy just now, suddenly became bright. If it weren't for the fact that Jia Ling had been worried about the safety of this stranger all night, he would not have moved his compassion.
Everyone was chasing Brother Xiong's tail, chirping and making noises, just to oppose Qin Tian's stay.
If he hadn't been exhausted, Qin Tian would have turned around and left. He hadn't slept for two days and had walked all the way here on his legs. If he hadn't been strong-willed, he might have died somewhere long ago.
"Okay, everyone, stop talking. If this guy has evil intentions, I, Brother Xiong, will skin him." Brother Xiong was upset by the chirping sound, and waved his hand and shouted. In fact, these
He deliberately told Qin Tian what he said, it was nothing more than a warning.
Jia Ling took a piece of roasted meat from the bonfire and handed it to Qin Tian. Qin Tian, who was hungry and cold, was not polite. After saying thank you a few times, he hugged the barbecue and started to eat it.
I don't care about the appearance of my food. I'm so hungry that my chest is pressed against my back. Who cares about these false etiquettes?
It's not that Qin Tian couldn't hunt wild beasts to satisfy his hunger, but that eating it when his mouth was dry was like chewing wax, and eating the dry barbecue without water would only make him thirstier.
Seeing Qin Tian's rude eating look, Jia Ling couldn't help but smile, then pointed at the pieces of meat roasting on the fire rack and said, "Don't worry, eat slowly. If it's not enough, there's still more."
Then Jia Ling continued, "When you are full, you can rest here for the night. Please don't run around, so as not to misunderstand my companions."
Qin Tian stuffed his mouth full of meat and nodded seriously after hearing Jia Ling's words.
Ever since he came to this misty continent, his life has not been as miserable as today. During the time when he was hiding in the dark forest, although he was on tenterhooks all day long, he had no problem eating and drinking.
But this place is different from other places. Everything can be lacking here, but water is definitely indispensable.
After Jia Ling finished speaking, she returned to her original position and began to rest. After the sneak attack by Baili just now, all the strong men in the team began to be placed on guard by Brother Xiong.
Especially Xiaohu. Brother Xiong asked him to keep an eye on Qin Tian, a stranger. There is nothing wrong with being cautious. It would be understandable for anyone else.
After eating, he felt sleepy. He tightened his tight clothes and lay down on the spot. He was exhausted these days and fell into a deep sleep as soon as he lay down.
The first ray of Dongxu's sun swept across the earth, and its hot and dazzling light slowly passed over the sleeping young man with a resolute face.
Qin Tianjian frowned slightly, feeling a burning sensation on his skin. His eyes opened a slit, and the bright sunlight made him raise his arms to block his eyes.
"you're awake?"
Jia Ling and the others had already gotten up early, packed their things, and were about to rush back towards Tucheng.
Seeing that Qin Tian was still sleeping, she did not disturb him. Now seeing that Qin Tian had woken up, Jia Ling came to his side and said, "We are ready to leave. What are your plans?"
Qin Tian put down the arm that was blocking his eyes, stood up, patted his clothes, and said, "Miss Jialing, thank you very much for last night. I wonder if you can tell me where the nearest town is? I have to find it."
Just have some water ready."
Jialing said, "As far as I know, there is no other town in Tuqiuzhou except Tucheng. If you want to get water, you have to go to Tucheng, but you..."
Qin Tian saw Jia Ling hesitate to speak, and asked in confusion, "But what?"
"There is only one well in Tucheng, which is guarded by the city lord. If you want to drink water, you must give something valuable in exchange. And you... don't seem to have anything valuable on you, so I'm afraid you won't be able to get water.
Jia Ling explained
Qin Tian asked, "Then are you preparing to go to Tucheng?"
Jialing pointed to the pile of corpses of ferocious beasts and said, "We are originally residents of Tucheng. We went out to hunt these two days in exchange for well water. No, those ferocious beasts are our harvest in these two days. If you need me, I will
I can share some with you."
"Thank you for your kindness. I can't thank you enough for giving me so much to drink last night. I will figure out the rest myself. I just want to trouble you to tell me where this Tucheng is."
"Just follow us. It's hard for outsiders to find someone without someone who is familiar with the road to guide you." Jia Ling said with a smile, with a pair of neat white teeth exposed under her bright smile.
.
The team had already started to set off. Brother Xiong kept staring here. When he saw Jia Ling and Qin Tian talking and laughing, he couldn't help but feel jealous. Then he shouted, "Jia Ling, it's getting late, we should set off."
"Oh!" Jia Ling turned around and responded when she heard the shout, then looked at Qin Tian and said, "Then I'll leave first, just follow us. If nothing unexpected happens and you can return to Tucheng in the afternoon, you must not follow
lost."
"OK, thanks!"
Jia Ling trotted to catch up with the team. Her graceful waist was as good as Situ Jing'er's, but fate was different. Situ Jing'er had no worries about food and clothing deep in the palace, but Jia Ling and the others had to risk their lives all day for a mouthful of water.
