Chapter 71: stay

Views:

Ye Fan believes that in the next few days, there will be no peace here. I am afraid that there will be wars again and again, and more Donghuang sects will rush here, and the whole ruins will boil because of the ghost emperor's grave.

Looking back from a distance, one can still see the bloody light rushing into the sky in the direction of the ruins, and the divine rainbows are impacting vertically and horizontally.

"Whether Huangta is in Yinfen or not, it has nothing to do with me..." Ye Fan was already 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 had long since dispersed. Ye Fan walked out all the way, but he didn't see any ferocious birds and beasts.

At this moment, the stars are shining, the moon is hanging high, and night has already fallen.

Ye Fan passed by Lingxu Cave, 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 ran into Elder Han, he would be in big trouble.

The most important bodhi seed is always on his body, even if he temporarily loses those broken Buddhist vessels, he does not feel it is a pity, after all, life is the most important thing.

Ye Fan was very fast, wearing the stars and wearing the moon, he rushed out of this mountain range overnight, and the land of right and wrong behind him became farther and farther away, but his heart did not really let go.

Three days later, Ye Fan appeared two thousand miles away. Along the way, he lived and slept in the open air, sneaked cautiously, almost never entered a town, and walked in the wilderness. Only then did he breathe 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 extremely dark, the lights were lit up ahead, and a small town was in sight. Ye Fan felt that he had reached a safe place and there was no need to run away. He strode forward .

When I came closer, 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, walked around a lot, and finally found a small shop that was not closed in a remote corner.

This is really a very small restaurant, there are only seven or eight tables inside, and those tables and chairs look old, and they are all shiny, looking antique and very clean.

"Is there anything to eat, old man, hurry up and get some."

The shopkeeper is a grey-haired old man. The years have already left traces on his face, which is full of wrinkles.

Seeing an eleven or twelve-year-old boy walking around alone so late, the old man was somewhat surprised, but he still responded with a kind smile: "There is only half a roast chicken, more than half a plate of beef, and some steamed buns."

"Okay, send them all up."

"Then wait for a while, I'll go and heat it up for you." The restaurant is really too small, and the old man's living conditions are not very good. He is not only the shopkeeper, but also a waiter and a cook.

Not long after, the fragrant roast chicken and more than half a plate of sauced beef were served, and Ye Fan's saliva almost flowed out immediately. For more than a year, he and Pangbo have been vegetarians all day long, and there is almost no meat in Lingxu Cave. The simple food in front of him made his stomach growl.

He quickly took the bowl and chopsticks, bit the snow-white steamed bun, tore off a chicken leg, and started to gobble it up. At this moment, he felt that the most delicious food in the world was nothing more than this, and all delicacies from mountains and seas stood aside, far less comfortable than the few in front of him.

"Don't worry, eat slowly, drink soup, moisten the stomach, don't choke." The old man brought a bowl of hot soup and reminded him kindly.

"Thank you old man, your cooking skills make my appetite scream in admiration." Ye Fan said inarticulately while stuffing food into his mouth.

Seeing that Ye Fan didn't look like a child from a poor family, but at the moment he was devouring it like this, the old man was a little surprised. He rolled up his patched sleeves, picked up a rag, and wiped the tables and chairs that were already clean , smiled and shook his head and said: "You are too hungry, no matter what you eat now, you will feel very sweet."

"Grandpa, why haven't you closed the door..."

At this moment, a five or six-year-old girl came out from the back room. Her clothes were also patched. She was wearing very plain and simple clothes. She wore two shofar braids. She was very cute and had a red face like red apples.

"Go to sleep first, it will be closed in a while."

The little girl looked at the food on the table, couldn't take her eyes off her big eyes, swallowed quietly, nodded subconsciously, and agreed, "Oh."

Not long after, 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 of his arms, but felt a little embarrassed, he forgot There was no money at all, and no gold or silver utensils, so I couldn't pay the bill.

"Brother, is it not convenient?" The old man was well-versed in the world, and he saw his embarrassment at a glance.

"This... 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 live on your bills all day long, and you know how to bully me and grandpa, we can hardly eat by ourselves it's..."

Speaking of this, she looked at the chicken bones on the table, her big eyes turned red, and she said, "Grandpa said that if no guests come, he will leave me a chicken leg... It turns out that you are free, and you are also here to bully us."

The five or six-year-old girl curled her mouth, her long eyelashes trembled, and tears rolled down her cheeks. She kept wiping away her tears with her patched sleeve.

Obviously, their living conditions are not very good, and they often encounter bullying on weekdays.

"Little sister, don't cry..." Ye Fan was really embarrassed and ashamed. It seemed that the old and the young were not easy, and life had long been in a predicament.

"It's okay, brother, don't blame yourself. I can see that you are different from those local thugs. You are not a free eater. 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 cried aggrievedly, and said, "I'm not doing it for myself, because Grandpa hasn't eaten dinner yet, we've been bullied by those bad guys all day long, and we have no savings, what should we do if we do this every day? …”

Seeing that the clothes on the old and the young were all patched, and hearing these words, Ye Fan suddenly felt sad, his heart was deeply touched, and his nose was actually a little sore.

Ordinary people's lives are full of bitterness, ups and downs, and the family affection and helplessness of the old and the young moved him for a long time.

"Little sister, don't cry. I'm not a bad person. Although I don't have any 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 Baicao liquid.

"This is a piece of fine jade. It's too expensive. I can't accept it." The old man shook his head and said, "When everyone is in trouble, if you pass by here again, brother, just make up the money."

Ye Fan sighed for a while, the old man's life is so embarrassing, and he has such a strong character and character, which gave him a little respect, and said: "You accept it, this is nothing to me."

"It's too precious. I really can't take it. When you're away from home and everyone is in trouble, brother, you don't have to blame yourself." The old man's hands were covered with calluses, and he pushed the jade bottle back firmly.

Seeing his refusal, Ye Fan had no choice but to take it back.

"Since you don't want it, then I'll stay and do some hard work 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 here for the time being and devote himself to cultivating here, and help the old man by the way.

The five or six-year-old girl looked down at her own toes, her big eyes were red, and she whispered, "We can't even eat ourselves..."

Ye Fan knelt down, touched the little girl's head pityingly, and said, "I won't burden you if I stay."
