Chapter 6: Withholding Rewards

? The next morning, Ye Feng got up early. He didn't wake up because he was sleepy, but because he was hungry. Si Tu Reading 520 Official Website

I didn't eat for a day, and I didn't even drink a mouthful of porridge. You can imagine how hungry I was.

I didn't see Hua Ling on the bed next to me. I touched the quilt and it was cold.

"Hua Ling?"

Just when I was worried, the shabby door was pushed open, revealing Hua Ling's thin figure: "Well... Brother, you got up..."

Ye Feng was startled. He saw that Hua Ling's clothes were stained with heavy dew, and there were some bloodshot in her eyes, which looked mentally exhausted.

Looking at Hua Ling holding a large bundle of wild vegetables in her arms, Ye Feng could not see that Hua Ling had gotten up early and went to the wild to pick these wild vegetables at dawn.

Not enough to eat, not warm to wear, and had to pick wild vegetables early in the morning to feed the two of them.

His ex was really a waste.

Seeing Ye Feng's guilty look, Hua Ling smiled and said, "Brother, you should sleep a little longer. I picked a lot of wild vegetables today, so you can have a big meal. You just awakened your martial veins, so you must be full to have the strength to practice."

While speaking, Hua Ling began to work quickly.

Ye Feng's face dimmed, and he didn't know what to say. He watched Hua Ling wash the wild vegetables again and again, his eyes full of joy and satisfaction. Maybe her brother awakened his martial veins, which gave her more hope in her heart.

Even if there was only one martial vein, compared with the past, it also satisfied the little girl.

Ye Feng, who exhaled heavily, felt warm in his heart, and secretly made up his mind that he would let Hua Ling live a good life no matter what.

"Hua Ling, you wait at home, brother will go to get food!"

"Get food?" The busy Hua Ling looked up in surprise.

"The county has a rule that as long as you awaken your martial veins and become a warrior, you can get ten taels of silver and three body-refining pills from the royal family. When my father was here, he always followed a higher standard. This rule is the national policy set by the county to establish a country with martial arts. Zhaojiazhuang... dare not abolish it." Ye Feng replied solemnly.

Silver can buy food, and body-refining pills are low-level pills that allow warriors who have awakened their martial veins to condense their internal strength faster. Of course, they can also allow warriors to advance from the first level to the second level quickly.

For rich people, this little thing is nothing, but it is very important to Ye Feng and Hua Ling.

"How could my brother lie to you." Ye Feng pushed open the door.

"Then Ling'er will go with my brother." Hua Ling, with a face full of longing, jumped up and ran forward to grab Ye Feng's hand. Looking at this increasingly stunning face, Ye Feng was silent for a while, smiled and nodded.

To receive silver pills, one must find the steward Zhao Tianle. Bringing his sister to see Zhao Tianle may not be a good thing, but Ye Feng couldn't tell Hua Ling about such a dirty thing...

...

After passing through most of Zhaojiazhuang, a lot of eyes fell on the two of them along the way. Among these eyes, those looking at Ye Feng were contemptuous and mocking, while those looking at Hua Ling were full of lust and lust.

They didn't treat the two of them as human beings at all.

"Zhao Huo, Zhao Yong, I will remember you. Soon, I will trample and crush those of you who bullied me." Ye Feng, with a calm face but a hint of coldness in his heart, came to the threshing ground with Hua Ling.

On the high platform, Zhao Tianle, the steward of Zhaojiazhuang, sat with a big horse and a golden sword.

Zhao Tianle was about forty years old, holding a folding fan in his hand. He was pot-bellied, and his fat buttocks made the animal-skin chair creak. His triangular eyes shot out lazy glances, scanning the busy Zhuangke people below the stage.

"Hey, why is the little waste here? And he brought Hua Ling, the little bitch. Yes, Zhao Hang must have done something. I don't know where this guy ran off to. He didn't show up all night." While thinking secretly, Zhao Tianle stood up from the animal-skin chair. Suddenly, he felt in a good mood and his eyes became particularly kind.

Of course, the "kind" eyes only fell on Hua Ling alone, and Ye Feng next to him was completely ignored.

There were many people coming, in addition to Ye Feng and Hua Ling, there were many people watching the fun.

Damn, why are there so many people? It's not a glorious thing. Don't you know that you should be low-key when doing such things? What the hell is this waste doing?

He frowned.

The confidant named Zhao Huo rushed to the stage and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Is there such a thing?" Zhao Tianle's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Are you sure?"

"It's true, Uncle Qi has tried it." Zhao Huo whispered.

Zhao Tianle pushed Zhao Huo away and asked the audience: "Seventh brother, have you detected what martial vein he has awakened?"

Zhao Qi, who was holding a roll of animal skin in his hand, shook his head and said: "The 'Martial Veins General Record' records all the martial veins that have appeared in the history of this county, and all the attributes of gold, wood, water, fire and earth are recorded. But none of them can match."

"Is there such a thing? Could it be a martial vein with a different attribute?" Zhao Tianle's expression changed a little. Martial veins with different attributes often have incredible abilities. If Ye Feng really awakened a martial vein with a different attribute, he would have to think twice if he wanted to get his sister.

"Deacon, the inability to detect attributes does not mean that it must be a powerful special attribute. It is also possible that this waste's martial vein is too inconspicuous. After all, there is only one, which belongs to the lowest yellow-level inferior talent." Zhao Qi added.

"What? One martial vein? Damn it. Zhao Qi, Zhao Huo, you are deliberately trying to scare this deacon, right? A waste with only one martial vein, why are there so many people following? This deacon thought something earth-shattering happened." While being generous, Zhao Tianle's face quickly became ferocious.

"Hehe, this big guy heard that the waste has awakened his martial vein, so he came to join in the fun." Zhao Huo smiled.

Zhao Tianle glanced at Ye Feng, and his expression returned to indifference: "Since the attributes cannot be detected, it should be that the attributes are very weak. There have also been some warriors in other counties in the county who have awakened martial veins but cannot see the attributes, and their final achievements are very limited."

"Deacon is right, and there is only one martial vein. Even if there are two or three, this waste will not achieve anything based on his previous performance." Someone else chimed in.

Zhao Tianle nodded, obviously agreeing with this, and said: "In this case, in order to save the resources of the county, give Ye Feng three taels of silver and a body-refining pill!"

Ye Feng's expression changed.

He didn't expect Zhao Tianle to be so bold that he dared to deduct even the county's reward!
