Chapter 71
Chapter seventy-one stay
Ye Fan believes that in the next few days, there will be no peace here. I am afraid there will be many battles, and more Eastern Wilderness sects will arrive here, and the entire ruins will boil over because of the demon emperor's grave.
Looking back from a distance, you can still see the blood in the direction of the ruins, and the rainbows are charging vertically and horizontally.
"Whether the barren tower is in the grave or not, it has nothing to do with me..." Ye Fan was very satisfied, and now he needs to find a peaceful place to calm down and practice.
The strange beasts and strange birds gathered at the edge of the ruins have long since dispersed, and Ye Fan walked out all the way without seeing any ferocious beasts.
At this moment, the stars are shining, the moon is hanging high, and night has already come.
Ye Fan passed by Lingxu Dongtian, without any hesitation, strode away, it was time to leave. Although he got some broken Buddhist artifacts from Daleiyin Temple and left them there, he didn't plan to go back to get them. If he encountered Elder Han, he would be in big trouble.
The most important Bodhizi was always with him, even if he temporarily lost those broken Buddhist artifacts, he didn't feel a pity, after all, life was the most important thing.
Ye Fan was very fast, wearing the stars and wearing the moon, and rushed out of this mountain range overnight, the land of right and wrong behind him was getting farther and farther, but his heart did not really let go.
Three days later, Ye Fan appeared 2,000 miles away. On the way, he slept and slept cautiously. He almost never entered the town, but walked in the wilderness. It was only then that he breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart gradually calmed down. down.
It was already late at night, the clouds covered the stars and the moon, it was extraordinarily dark, the lights were bright in front, and a small town was in sight. Ye Fan felt that he had reached a safe area, and there was no need to escape. He strode forward. .
When I came near, I found that this place can only be regarded as a small town. At this moment, most people have fallen asleep, and only a few lights are still shining.
Ye Fan walked into the town, turned around, and finally found a small shop in a remote corner that had not closed.
This is really a very small restaurant. There are only seven or eight tables in it. Those tables and chairs are a few years old at first glance. They are all rubbed to give birth to a luster. They look antique and very clean.
"What does the old man have to eat, hurry up and get some."
The shopkeeper is an old man with gray hair. The years have left traces on his face, which are full of wrinkles and look weathered. His clothes have been patched a lot, and life does not seem to be very good.
Seeing an eleven- or twelve-year-old boy walking around alone so late, the old man felt a little surprised, but he still responded with a kind smile: "Only half a roast chicken, half a plate of beef, and some steamed buns."
"Okay, bring them all."
"Then wait a moment, and I'll warm it up for you." The restaurant is too small, and the living conditions of the old man are not very good.
Not long after, the fragrant roast chicken and more than half of the sauced beef were brought up, and Ye Fan's saliva almost came out. For more than a year, he and Pang Bo have been vegetarians all day, and there is almost no meat in Lingxu Cave. The simple food in front of him made his stomach growl unsatisfactorily.
He quickly took the bowl and chopsticks, bit the snow-white steamed bun, tore off a chicken leg, and started to gobble it. At this moment, he felt that the most delicious food in the world was nothing more than that, and all the delicacies of the mountains and seas stood aside, far from the ones in front of him that made him eat comfortably.
"Don't worry, eat slowly, drink the soup, moisten the stomach, don't choke." The old man brought a bowl of hot soup and reminded kindly.
"Thank you old man, your cooking skills make my appetite growl." Ye Fan said inarticulately while stuffing food into his mouth.
Seeing that Ye Fan's clothes didn't look like a child from a poor family, but at the moment he was so devoured, the old man was somewhat surprised. He rolled up his patched sleeves, picked up a rag, and wiped the already clean tables and chairs beside him. , smiled and shook his head: "You are too hungry, no matter what you eat now, it will feel very sweet."
"Grandpa, why hasn't the door closed yet..."
At this moment, a five- or six-year-old girl came out of the back room. Her clothes were also patched. Her clothes were very plain and simple. She had two horn braids, she was very cute, and her red face was like red apples.
"Go to sleep first, it will close in a while."
The little girl looked at the food on the table, her big eyes couldn't look away, she swallowed quietly, nodded subconsciously, and replied, "Oh."
After a while, Ye Fan had swept away the food on the table, stood up, and said, "Okay, old man, you are ready to close." He took it out into his arms, but felt a little embarrassed, he forgot Now, there are no coins, no gold and silver utensils at all, and it is impossible to pay the bill.
"Isn't my little brother inconvenient?" The old man was so sophisticated, he could see his embarrassment at a glance.
"This... I really didn't bring any money."
"Ah, here comes the bad guy again." The little girl next to her opened her eyes wide, she was about to cry, she stared at Ye Fan and said, "You guys are so bad, you keep paying for free food all day, you know that you bully me and grandpa, and we can't even eat ourselves. now..."
Having said that, she looked at the chicken bones on the table, her big eyes suddenly turned red, and said: "Grandpa said that if no guests come, he will leave a chicken leg for me... As a result, you are free to eat, and you are here to bully us. "
The five- or six-year-old girl pouted, her long eyelashes trembled, and tears rolled down her cheeks. Tears were all over her red face, and she kept wiping her tears with her patched sleeves.
Obviously, their living conditions are not very good, and they are often bullied on weekdays.
"Little sister, don't cry..." Ye Fan was really embarrassed and ashamed. This old and young man didn't seem to be easy, and his life had already fallen into a predicament.
"It's okay, little brother, don't blame yourself. I can see that you are different from those rascals. You are not a freelancer. You must have really forgotten to bring money." The wrinkled old man pulled the little girl aside and said: " Don't cry, grandpa left you a piece of chicken and half a steamed bun, so you won't be hungry."
"Grandpa..." The little girl suddenly cried aggrieved, and said, "I'm not doing it for myself, because Grandpa didn't eat dinner. We are bullied by those bad people all day long, and we have no savings. It's like this every day, what should we do? what……"
Seeing that the clothes of the old and young were patched, and hearing these words again, Ye Fan suddenly felt a sad feeling, his heart was deeply touched, and his nose was a little sore.
Ordinary people's life is full of bittersweet, ups and downs. The affection and helplessness of the old and the young made him feel touched for a long time.
"Don't cry, little sister, I'm not a bad person. Although I don't have money, I have something here that should be worth this meal." Ye Fan took out a small jade bottle, and it was during the trial outside the ruins. In exchange for a bottle of herbal liquid.
"This is a good piece of jade, it's too valuable, I can't take it." The old man shook his head and said, "When everyone is in trouble, if my brother passes by here again in the future, just make up the money."
Ye Fan sighed for a while, the old man's life was so embarrassing, and he had such a spirit and character, which made him have a little respect, and said: "You accept it, this is nothing to me."
"It's too precious, I really can't take it. When I'm out and everyone is in trouble, little brother, you don't have to blame yourself." The old man's hands were covered with calluses, and he firmly pushed the jade bottle back.
Seeing that Ye Fan refused, he had to take it back.
"Since you don't want it, then I'll stay and do some coolies for you." At this moment, he had nowhere to go, and found that the old man was very simple and kind, so he decided to stay temporarily, concentrate on practicing here, and help the old man by the way.
The five- or six-year-old girl looked down at her toes, her eyes were red, and she whispered, "We can't even eat by ourselves..."
Ye Fan crouched down, touched the little girl's head pitifully, and said, "I won't burden you by staying here."
