Lin Feng drove the carriage slowly forward in the dark night, heading west, inevitably walking into the wind. The weather had just entered autumn, and there was a hint of coldness in the autumn wind.
The carriage only traveled for half an hour, and Lin Qi beside her became a little unbearable, holding Lin Feng and trembling slightly.
Lin Qi did not have this kind of experience of traveling at night. She had been well protected by Lin Feng since she was a child in the Lin Mansion and had not suffered too much, so she seemed a little unbearable to suffer such a cold wind at this time.
Lin Feng only took some thick clothes and put them on Lin Qi. The killing sword energy was too overbearing and it was not like ordinary infuriating energy could be transferred to ordinary people. Without Lin Feng's physical strength, rashly inputting sword energy would only hurt Lin Qi.
Qi.
After putting on some thick clothes, Lin Qi's complexion became better. But at this moment, Lin Qi was very sensible and didn't make too many demands. She was just too cold, so she hugged her brother who was driving the carriage.
Lin Feng reached out and patted Lin Qi's little hand, which felt a little cold. He estimated the current time in his mind. He had been on the road for a while. He had the impression that he would reach an abandoned quarry twenty miles ahead, and tonight he would be there.
Go there and rest.
"Sister, if you hold on for a while, there will be a place to rest in front of you."
Lin Qi shrank her neck. The jolting on the carriage made her look a little ugly, but she still nodded, as if she was worried that Lin Feng was too cold. She stretched out her arms to hug him, "Brother, are you cold?"
This cold wind was not enough to make Lin Feng feel cold. Since his body was stimulated by the sword energy in his body, although it was not immune to cold and heat, he could withstand the general cold.
Lin Feng smiled, took out a piece of meat from the soul-suppressing ring, warmed it in his hand and handed it over, "I'm not cold yet, you should eat something first. Don't be hungry, you are still growing."
Lin Qi reached out to take it, holding the meat jerky in both hands and slowly started eating it. Although the carriage was a little bumpy, her face, which was originally a little blue, got a little better after eating the meat jerky.
In the quiet night, only the sound of carriages moving forward could be heard. At this time, the birds and beasts in the forest that had just entered autumn were hiding, fighting against the cold world.
After walking for another half an hour, suddenly the dirt road the carriage was traveling on turned into a gravel road, and the originally swaying carriage became a little more stable. After walking for about a mile, the vision suddenly opened up, and a whole open space appeared in front of us.
In front of him was a row of slightly dilapidated huts, and a five- to six-foot-tall factory building, but most of it had collapsed, and a pile of unprocessed stones were placed haphazardly.
Heaving a sigh of relief, he found that he had found the right place, otherwise he would have had to sleep in the forest. Lin Feng turned his head and said, "Sister, we..."
But he didn't expect that he was already asleep at this moment, leaning on Lin Feng's back, his little face was flushed from sleeping, and one hand was still holding the corner of Lin Feng's clothes, as if Lin Feng would leave him as soon as he let go.
She smiled hoarsely and shook her head, but thinking about it, she was exhausted this day. First, she was frightened in the small courtyard of the Lin Mansion all day, and then she sat in a carriage for so long at night. The bumpy journey also made her suffer a lot.
, I can only hope to settle down as soon as possible, but I will rest here for the time being tonight.
He reached out and picked up Qingqing Lin Qi, walked towards the row of huts, found a cleaner place, pointed with his right hands, and swept out the sword energy to remove dust and fallen leaves.
Then he took out the blanket and spread it on the ground, put Lin Qi down, and covered him with a thick quilt. These things were already prepared, and there were many spares in the soul-suppressing ring.
After laying the ground, she was about to let go, but Lin Qi suddenly grabbed Lin Feng's arm and opened her eyes drowsily, "Brother, don't leave me."
Lin Feng was stunned, this little girl must be too clingy. He shook her little hand, covered her with a quilt more tightly, and said softly, "Don't worry, brother won't leave you. I'll light a fire and cook something."
Please go to bed first and I will wake you up later to eat."
After hearing Lin Feng's words, Lin Qi felt relieved, closed her eyes, and fell asleep holding the quilt obediently.
After walking out of the hut, Lin Feng took out the azure blue spirit sword, and attached a touch of killing sword aura to it. He placed the sword in front of the door of Lin Qi's cabin. If a wild beast wanted to enter, the killing sword aura would react, and Lin Feng would also
Able to return in time.
After making sure that nothing happened, Lin Feng stepped into the darkness to look for firewood. He was no stranger to darkness. He had often fought with others in the darkness for so many years. Now that his cultivation level was high, he was naturally less afraid.
.....
Lin Qi woke up leisurely from her sleep. She was awakened by a smell, which was the smell of food. She opened her eyes and looked around.
In the dilapidated hut, Lin Feng was facing away from her. A bonfire was burning, making a crisp sound from time to time. The light of the fire dispelled the coldness around it and illuminated the surroundings. He sniffed it with his small nose. It was a smell.
The aroma of meat mixed with the aroma of rice.
At this moment, Lin Feng was sitting by the bonfire. There was a small pot on the bonfire with ingredients placed in the pot. The aroma came from the pot.
Hearing a noise from the side, Lin Feng looked back and saw Lin Qi sitting up, her eyes blurred, and trying to crawl out of bed. He threw a piece of clothing in front of her and said, "Here, put on your coat, don't catch a cold."
.”
The cold air after autumn is not easy to bear. Lin Feng went outside in late autumn and worked for three days working on a mine. He suffered from the cold wind for three days and made himself uncomfortable for several days, so he paid special attention to this aspect.
Lin Qi muttered, thinking that it would not be cold if there was a bonfire, so she felt a cold breeze as soon as she got out of the bed, and immediately put on her coat obediently.
Then he quickly came to the campfire and stared at the food in the pot with bright eyes.
When Lin Feng sprinkled in the last seasoning, the aroma became more intense. Lin Qi looked at the food in the pot hungrily, swallowing her saliva.
After waiting for a while, the whole pot of porridge was finally finished.
As Lin Feng finished, Lin Qi couldn't wait to pick up a small bowl from the ground aside, "I'm so hungry, it smells so good, brother, what did you put in it?"
After serving it, I didn't even bother to burn my mouth. I simply blew it and started eating it in small bites.
Lin Feng smiled and also filled a bowl for himself and started eating slowly at the side.
When there was only half a pot of porridge left, a figure suddenly walked slowly from a distance. Lin Feng frowned, and the blue spiritual sword had already reached his hand.
At this time, who else is coming? Could it be that Lin Yuan found out that Lin Kang was killed and sent someone to cause trouble?
Soon, the figure became clearer, and it was a crouching man who slowly walked over.
When I got closer, I discovered that he was an old man. His clothes were in tatters, his face was dirty, and the beard on his face was stuck together. He was holding a bamboo stick in his hand, looking like a beggar.
When the old man saw the two people in the firelight, his eyes lit up and he ran up in three or two steps without even holding on to his bamboo stick.
But when he saw the azure blue spiritual sword in Lin Feng's hand, his eyes were slightly startled. It was really strange to see a low-grade spiritual sword in this wilderness.
However, a spiritual sword is just a spiritual sword, and it is not something extraordinary. To him, the porridge in this pot is more attractive.
Standing five meters away from the bonfire, the old man asked with a familiar face, "This little brother, can I borrow a bite of food?"
Lin Qi was kind-hearted. She just knew how cold the cold wind was. Now she couldn't bear to see the old man. She looked at Lin Feng hesitantly and asked, "Brother, we can't finish the meal, why don't we share some with him? It's so cold."
Oh my God, he must be very hungry too."
Lin Feng's spiritual sense was detected, and he was still a little confused about how the old man came here. The nearest village here was more than ten miles away, but his spiritual sense found that this old man had no cultivation. He must be an ordinary beggar, maybe.
I'm just worrying too much.
So Lin Feng said, "Meeting is fate, old man, please take a seat."
The old man came forward happily, took out a broken bowl from his arms, filled a large bowl, and sat down by the campfire to eat.
Regardless of the fact that the porridge was piping hot, he finished a bowl in three or two mouthfuls. He seemed to realize that he had eaten too fast. He turned around and asked with some embarrassment, "Little brother, I wonder if I can have another bowl."
Lin Feng was a little speechless. He ate such a hot bowl of porridge without worrying about burning his mouth. He glanced at his sister and saw that she was full. Even if she threw it away, it would be a waste. So she nodded, "Old man, you can do whatever you want."
There are quite a few.”
Hearing Lin Feng's promise, the old man suddenly beamed with joy. Under the surprised gazes of the two people, he ate bowl after bowl. The half-pot of porridge soon went into the old man's stomach.
Lin Qi looked at the old man's bulging belly with some worry, pulled Lin Feng's hand, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, is it okay to eat like this?"
The old man finished eating the last bit of porridge in the pot without wasting even a drop. He wiped his bowl and put it in his arms. He smiled at Lin Qi and said, "Don't worry, little girl, I've just been hungry for too long."
Well, I can only say that this young man’s cooking is so delicious.”
Lin Qi raised her head proudly, "Of course my brother is great. My brother is not only good at cooking, he is the best."
The old man laughed and suddenly asked, "We met each other. My surname is Bai. I don't know where you two are from or where you plan to go."
Lin Qi had just eaten at the moment and had no understanding of the outside world. But at this moment she just looked at Lin Feng. There was nothing wrong with listening to her brother when she was out.
Lin Feng thought for a while, since he was just an old man, there was no need to hide him, "Old Bai, our brother and sister are from Qingzhou City. We are going out this time to travel, and we plan to go to Baihua City, the imperial capital."
The old man squinted slightly and touched his beard, showing a nostalgic look, "I haven't been to the imperial capital Baihua for a long time, and I don't know if those old boys are still alive."
Lin Qi asked curiously, "Old man, have you been to the Imperial Capital? Is it better than Qingzhou City?"
The old man laughed and said like a treasure, "Baihua City is full of tall buildings and extremely prosperous. Every street is wider than the largest street in Qingzhou City. Tianshui Pavilion in Baihua City is just an ordinary small building.
I think back then I was a famous person in that place, so who in Baihua City didn’t know my reputation as Bai Lao.”
Lin Qi curled her lips, feeling that the old man was like some old men in the Lin family who liked to brag and never told the truth. "You are lying. If you are so powerful, why are you here?"
Lin Feng coughed slightly, this sister was too upright, even if she was a beggar, the old man still cared about face, so he changed the topic, "Old man, how do you want to get to Baihua City?"
The old man chuckled and said, "Just go all the way west. Just follow the road and you won't get lost."
Lin Feng took out the map from his sleeve, looked at it by the firelight, and roughly identified the road. He put away the map and said to the old man, "Thank you very much, old man. It's getting late today. If you don't mind, let's rest here together. Yes."
I keep vigil at night, and no wild beast dares to attack."
The old man's eyes lit up, but he seemed to have thought of something and waved his hand, "Forget it, the young man likes me, the old man."
Then he seemed to think of something, and took out a greasy coin from his arms, "Old man, I won't eat your food for nothing, so I'll give this to you."
Lin Feng originally wanted to refuse, but the old man had already thrown it into his hand. He was holding the coin and was about to hand it back when he saw that the old man had already stood up. He seemed to be walking slowly, but he disappeared in just a few breaths.
within sight.
His pupils shrank, but he didn't realize how strong this old man was. He was stunned. Lin Feng looked at the greasy coins in his hand and wiped them.
This is a type of currency he has never seen before. The copper coin has the word Tianyuan written on the front, and a strange pattern is engraved on the back. He doesn't know why, so after thinking about it, he keeps it in his arms. Maybe next time
It can also be returned to the elderly.
Lin Qi looked at the direction the old man was leaving with a confused look on his face, "Brother, that person?"
Lin Feng put away the small pot and added some firewood. "Perhaps he is a senior expert and has no ill intentions towards us. Go to bed and don't worry."
Lin Qi nodded, asked no more questions, got into her bed, and fell asleep soon.
Lin Feng, on the other hand, looked at the night. He had a hunch that he would see the old man again in the future.
