C70 (1/2)

On the main street of the town, there were a few people walking about occasionally. From their expressions, one could see some unease and some fear.

Chu Feng sized up this small and ancient town with suspicion.

”Young man, you're just passing by!” A benevolent voice came from the alley to Chu Feng's left. Chu Feng turned his head around and saw an old man in ragged clothes looking at him from the corner of a wall.

The memories of his childhood came back to him at this moment. Back then, he had the same shabby clothes, the same slovenly appearance, the same despise.

Perhaps it was due to common diseases, but Chu Feng walked towards the old man who was lying in the corner.

The old man looked at him benevolently, then said, ”Young man, if there's nothing else, you should leave as soon as possible.”

After hearing those words, Chu Feng was a bit stunned. He stared blankly and asked, ”What happened to this town?”

The old man said dejectedly, ”The robbers on the mountain are getting more and more rampant. It's not good to ask for food now.”

The old man paused for a moment, then continued, ”Let's go! Leave as soon as possible. ”

With that, he leaned against the corner of the wall as if he was about to fall asleep.

Seeing that he was unwilling to say anything more, Chu Feng also quietly walked away.

Just as Chu Feng walked past the bend, the unconscious old man suddenly opened his muddle-headed eyes. At that moment, he was no longer spiritless like before. Replacing it was a sharp gaze.

As Chu Feng walked on the deserted street and looked around, he felt that something was wrong. However, he was unable to tell what exactly it was.

The wolf cub closely followed behind Chu Feng and looked around vigilantly. When it first entered the little town, it clearly felt a wave of killing intent. However, it disappeared in the blink of an eye and it did not know where it was.

Therefore, he could only stay alert.

”Sell flowers, sell flowers.”

A clear and melodious voice rang out from the end of the basket. Chu Feng couldn't help but forget about it. A girl who wore very simple and unadorned clothes was calling out to him while holding the basket.

This scene caused Chu Feng to be shocked. This girl appeared to be incompatible with this scene. It seemed as if no one else was willing to go out, even if the night on the road was full of panic, and then hurriedly left.

The girl looked a little anxious. Her voice sounded a little urgent, as if she was worried that the flowers in the basket wouldn't be sold.

Chu Feng looked at the girl for a while and helplessly shook his head. Then, he walked straight towards her.

”Whew.” After turning the corner, Chu Feng often breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, he had been kind and sold all of her flowers. Was she using them that emotionally? The girl almost knelt down and said thank you when she thought of how she had bought all the flowers.

That gave Chu Feng a headache. Although his current identity was there, thinking back to his childhood memories, Chu Feng never treated himself as the young master of the Chu family.

The sky gradually darkened and Chu Feng looked around. Then, he walked towards the tavern whose signboard was dilapidated.

As he walked through the doorstep, an obvious sour smell filled his nose. It made Chu Feng a bit unable to accept that. Why were the conditions in this inn so bad!?

When the manager and waiter saw that a guest came, they looked at Chu Feng with smiles on their faces. It had been a long time since someone came to stay at Chu Feng's place, so when the manager saw Chu Feng, he was a bit surprised.

”Esteemed guest, we are staying here. The environment here is beautiful, the air fresh, the service is thoughtful and the price is cheap.”

The head storekeeper kept on saying those words. If it wasn't for Chu Feng interrupting him, he would probably be bragging for an hour!

The environment was beautiful, and there were only a few broken stools in the living room. The air was fresh, and it was already musty. What was most unacceptable was the price. Ten taels of silver a night? Chu Feng cursed in his heart. How was this a shop! It was obviously a black shop.

He had only stayed in the capital for a night, but he hadn't thought that it would be so expensive in such a remote place.

Chu Feng also wanted to haggle, but the shopkeeper's words dispelled that thought.

The words went like this: ”Young man, don't haggle with me. There is only one inn in this town, and you know that things are only considered precious, so, hehe …” At the end, the shopkeeper was so shy that he couldn't say anything.

But the meaning was very clear. This made Chu Feng depressed for a long time. He did not expect such a small shopkeeper to be so arrogant. How could society allow him to live?

At that moment, Chu Feng couldn't help sighing in his heart. The young wolf also seemed to feel that it was being bullied. It cried out twice to relieve the unhappiness in its heart.

When Chu Feng saw that the wolf cub was this understanding of human nature, he was immediately moved. They were truly the same people who had fallen to the same end of the world! If Chu Feng knew that the wolf cub only barked when he was hungry, would he be so depressed that he would vomit blood?

After a simple meal, the sky gradually darkened.

Gradually, the glare became softer and softer, causing people to have an indescribable feeling of pleasure. Seeing all that happened, Chu Feng's heart gradually calmed down, but in the blink of an eye, he thought of the words of the wandering old man, so calm that it was a bit uneasy.

In the end, Chu Feng smiled. He had the arrogant attitude of someone who would fend for themselves. Wasn't he the legendary bandit? What was that supposed to mean?

Chu Feng thought to himself.
