Chapter 73 [Dove occupies a magpie nest]
[Ahem... I'm with my wife today, so I've updated a little less, and I'll only update one chapter. I'll guarantee that I'll supply you all tomorrow! I'll definitely break my promise tomorrow. I won't go back on my word. Dance and hug my head, please call me~]
Chen Daolin brought his sword into the woods, cut down many branches and put them on the shelf, and finally moved the bodies of Mrs. Stone and others one by one, including Hawk and his wife and Tang En.
Of course, both Boss Charles and the freckled girl died of poisoning. Chen Daolin dared not touch the bodies of these two people.
After restraining the body, Chen Daolin lit the fire with his own hands and retreated aside. Seeing the blazing flames burning, he couldn't help but sigh softly.
The experience along the way was indeed a lot of twists and turns. The few dead people were all masters who had lived in seclusion for many years, but they didn't expect that they all died here overnight.
I'm afraid even their enemies would never have imagined that these people would leave this world quietly and silently.
He stared at the fire for a long time, then threw the torch into the fire.
Barossa had woken up. The elf girl was not seriously injured. After resting in the middle of the night, she gradually recovered. However, when the two were in the wild and burning the bodies, the atmosphere was a little serious. Barossa couldn't help but leaned in Chen Daolin's arms and whispered: "What should we do?"
Chen Daolin thought about it seriously and looked at the sky.
It's still a long time before dawn. Looking around, the wilderness is pitch black, and only the flames here are flashing.
Chen Daolin pondered for a moment and finally made a decision: "Let's go back to Freeport!"
"What?" Barossa was a little surprised: "You... have really thought about it?"
"Think about it." Chen Daolin looked very serious. A light flashed in his eyes that made Barossa feel very strange, as if... the man's temperament was quite different at the moment. Chen Daolin slowly raised his head, looked at Barossa's nervous expression, then smiled slightly, reached out to point it on Barossa's nose, and smiled, "You seem to be very worried?"
"Of course I'm worried." Barossa frowned and said, "We just came out from there. Moreover, the enemies of these people must be looking for them, and maybe they will implicate us, and then..."
"If you want to be implicated, you will be implicated long ago." Chen Daolin smiled bitterly: "If the enemies of these people really have the ability to find the carriage and horse carriage, then we will be noticed along the way with these people. Moreover, we have already looked up in the carriage and horse carriage. If someone searches the carriage and horse carriage, we will definitely be targeted. At this time, we will return to Freeport, which is safe... Have you heard of the truth that darkness is under the light?"
Barossa widened her innocent eyes and looked at Chen Daolin: "It's dark under the light?"
"Well, it's dark under the light. The so-called most dangerous place is the safest place." Chen Daolin smiled confidently: "Even if the enemies of these people come here and cannot find them, they will only think that they have escaped. They will never expect that these people will die in this place. As for us... we are actually two irrelevant people. Instead, we go back to Freeport, and no one will think of it."
Besides, Chen Daolin would go and see the treasures she collected by Mrs. Shi Tou, no matter what.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but subconsciously touch his forehead.
Until now, there was still a faint pain on the forehead and eyebrows. The feeling of this pain was not severe, but it seemed to come from the depths of my mind, as if something was constantly pricking my needles in my mind.
Chen Daolin sighed, rubbed his eyebrows hard, and then said, "It will be dark under the light when returning to Freeport. The only thing to worry about is the carriages and horses... The carriages and horses were kidnapped by wolf riders halfway. When we returned to Freeport, it was a little difficult to explain."
Barossa sighed softly, leaned her body into Chen Daolin's arms, and whispered, "Just make the decision. I..." The girl turned red, raised her eyelids and looked at Chen Daolin, and whispered, "I'm following you anyway."
The last half of the sentence was very light, but the tenderness contained in it made Chen Daolin move in his heart. He looked down at the elf girl and couldn't help but feel slightly moved. He gently touched her cheek, lowered his head to kiss her left cheek, and whispered: "Well, you follow me, I will definitely take good care of you."
Barossa was kissed by him, her face suddenly turned red, and she quickly shrank her neck, deliberately angrily silenced to hide her shyness: "Who, who asked you to take care of you... You guy can't even beat me. If you really encounter something, you don't know who is taking care of whom."
After hearing this, Chen Daolin's eyes flashed with a strange light.
"Barosa, don't worry, I will take care of you in the future!"
...
After dawn, the two dug a hole to bury the ashes of several people.
After all, Barossa was kind-hearted and pulled Chen Daolin to dig two holes and buried Boss Charles and the others' bodies in it.
Then the two set off on the road, identified the direction, and headed towards Freeport.
The two of them were cheering up along the way and did not dare to walk on the main road. Instead, they carefully walked along the wilderness beside the road.
The previous attack from werewolf here is enough to show that this route is not safe.
Although Chen Daolin regretted that those werewolf robbers seemed to be led by Lei - it was a pity that he had not been able to meet Lei.
However, Chen Daolin was very pleased to know that this arrogant wolf warrior did not run back to be an assassin foolishly, but instead pulled up a group of hands to become robbers.
However... I hope I won't encounter other robbers along the way. If the robbers I meet are not led by Lei, then my life and Barossa may not be guaranteed.
Perhaps God heard Chen Daolin's prayer, or that enough things have happened in the past few days. The two of them went all the way toward Freeport, and they were safe and safe.
When I left the Freeport, I had a carriage for transportation, but now when I go back, I lean on my walking, so it is naturally much slower.
The two walked for more than two days, and on the afternoon of the third day, they finally arrived outside Freeport City.
Freeport is more prosperous during the day than at night. The streets are crowded with vehicles and pedestrians coming and going from north to south, and caravans holding different flags are endless, and pedestrians wear all kinds of clothes.
Chen Daolin and Barossa walked around the south of the town and entered the city. Carefully avoided the carriages and horses. Fortunately, the town was bustling with people on the streets, and no one would notice them - not to mention Barossa had already made a lot of disguises to cover her charming face, and even put the wings of the elf in her robe.
Chen Daolin recognized the road and took Barossa quickly through the town and walked to the small street.
The road became more and more remote and quiet, and Chen Daolin's hanging heart finally let go.
After passing the small yard that night, the yard door was wide open. Chen Daolin stopped and looked in. The tables and chairs in the yard were in a mess. The doors and windows of several shops inside were broken, and things were everywhere - it was obvious that someone searched this place later.
When Chen Daolin saw this scene, he felt relieved: I think all the people who came to pursue have come here to search, so he should not come again. This place is safe.
But he still didn't dare to go into the yard - if he was seen by an idle person, he would cause trouble instead. He simply pulled Barossa and walked towards the alley.
According to Mrs. Shi Tou's last words, after passing this small yard and walking into the alley, around a bend, I saw a tung tree... There was indeed another small yard gate here.
This is a unique courtyard with a narrow area.
The gate of the courtyard was locked inside. Chen Daolin felt a move in his heart, leaving Barossa to take the wind outside. After a few words of advice, he jumped over the wall and jumped in.
Grass grew in the cracks on the stone slabs on the ground in the yard, and large areas of moss were growing in the corners of the wall. Obviously, no one has come here to take care of it for a long time.
When Chen Daolin saw this scene, he felt even more relieved.
The yard is not big, there is only a small room inside.
Chen Daolin walked carefully to the door and pushed it. The door was indeed locked. Chen Daolin sighed: "I didn't expect to be a thief who broke into the door."
He took a few last steps, then went up and kicked the door...
Bang!
What made Chen Daolin miscalculated was that he kicked him up, but found that he underestimated the strength of the door!
Brother Daling felt that his ankle hurt and his body was shocked back. He staggered a few times and sat on the ground.
Just as he was so annoyed that he was about to scold him, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the door...
"Who! Who is he the one who kicked my room in broad daylight and made people dreamy! Don't want to live anymore!!"
This is rude, but his voice is crisp and tender, which is clearly the voice of a young woman.
This sentence almost scared Chen Daolin's cold sweat!
...
The sound of footsteps came from the door, and then the door opened and a figure strode out.
This is indeed a girl with a petite figure and a torn dress. She was wearing a very nice short shirt, but it was covered with patches. She was wearing a rotten leather shoes, but the toe was already half torn, and the other foot was simply bare, and the instep was also covered with dirty and dark. The woman's face was covered with stains, black and white, and she couldn't see her original appearance. She was just quite pleasing from the outline. Her eyes were pitch black and bright, but she was full of vigilance and hostility.
She stood at the door, holding a wooden stick tightly in her hand, standing in front of her, staring at Chen Daolin and Barossa.
Both sides glared at each other several times before Chen Daolin and the girl in the room blurted out at the same time.
"Who are you?!"
After saying that, Chen Daolin was stunned and became more and more surprised: Mrs. Shi Tou’s last words were left by her, but she didn’t say that there was still someone living here.
The girl had already seen a hint of panic flashing in her eyes, but she said viciously: "You asked me who I am? Are you a thief when you break into my house?"
As she said that, she raised the wooden stick and acted intimidating.
Chen Daolin saw the panic in the other party's eyes, and suddenly felt aroused in his heart: No!
This place is Mrs. Stone's secret nest, how could it be possible for others to live in such a place? If so, she would not not tell herself before she died.
Seeing this girl's ragged clothes and her body was even more dirty, her eyes were flustered...
When Chen Daolin thought of this, he had already guessed seven or eight points in his heart. He coughed, widened his eyes and shouted loudly: "What a mess! This is clearly my house! Where did you come from? You dare to run into my house!!"
He snorted heavily, quickly pulled out the sword from his waist, and acted as if intimidating.
Sure enough, these stern questions shocked the girl in the door. The girl took a step back, and the expression on her face became more and more panicked.
Suddenly, her eyes skipped over Chen Daolin and saw the gate of the courtyard...
The girl's eyes changed instantly and she screamed: "You are lying! If you are the owner of this house, why don't you open the door when you enter the yard? The gate of the yard is clearly locked. You, you are jumping into the wall!!"
Chen Daolin heard this, but laughed and pointed at the girl and said, "Ha! What you said is enough to show that you are not the owner of this house! Girl, throw down the stick and beg for mercy..."
Before he could finish speaking, a trace of decision flashed in the girl's eyes. She suddenly screamed, raised the stick in her hand, and smashed it down at Chen Daolin.
Chen Daolin asked, "He was not prepared at all... Besides, he only thought in his heart that the other party was a little girl, so he was not wary. He originally had no martial arts, but now the distance between the two sides is close...
Bang!
This stick was hitting Chen Daolin's head!
The girl seemed not very old, but she was really strong. Chen Dao's eyes were stumbled back and sat on the ground.
The girl rushed out of the room and was about to jump past Chen Daolin and run towards the yard.
Chen Daolin subconsciously reached out to grab the other party, but the girl simply punched Chen Daolin's nose.
The girl made a very fierce move. With one punch, Chen Daolin suddenly had bleeding from his nose, his eyes were sore, and even tears flowed out.
Chen Daolin was anxious and angry, shouted "Ah", turned over and grabbed the girl's calf.
The girl fell to the ground with a "oh" sound, but she reacted very quickly, and then kicked back...
With two bangs, Chen Daolin covered his eyes and screamed in pain, and then stepped back, shouting: "Barosa! Barosa!!"
Outside the yard, Barossa jumped in. The elf girl saw the girl at first sight, and Chen Daolin, who was sitting on the ground with blood on her face. The elf girl exclaimed and was about to go up to help Chen Daolin.
Chen Daolin covered his eyes and shouted: "Don't worry about me, catch this little thief first!"
When the girl saw Barossa jumping into the yard, she screamed in fear and ran towards the wall.
However, Barossa heard Chen Daolin's shout and had already chased him. As an excellent hunter in the Grass and Elf Tribe, the Elf Girl is not as powerful as a master, but she is still not bad after all. The girl just climbed over the wall and was grabbed by an ankle, dragged it down and threw it on the ground.
The girl turned over and jumped up to resist, but Barossa had already punched her shoulder twice quickly, and finally stepped on her waist, pulled out the sword, and crossed it to the girl's neck, shouting: "Don't move!"
The girl's eyes widened at this point, exclaimed suddenly, then her head tilted and she fainted.
Seeing that the other party fainted, Barossa was a little surprised. She took her feet back and turned around and said, "Darling, how are you?"
Chen Daolin had already climbed up. At this moment, Brother Daling was full of shame and anger, his face was red and white... The red one was bleeding from nose, and the white one was his face. As for what was black... It was the stains left by the girl kicked him in the face just now...
Poor Brother Darling's nose was bleeding, and his eyes were even beaten like a panda, and two black green pieces made Barossa burst into laughter.
Chen Daolin felt his face burning, and his heart became more and more annoyed. He looked at the little thief on the ground and said angrily: "Catch it up, let me take care of this guy!"
When I touched the top of my head, I actually felt a piece of blood. I couldn't help but snorted and grinned: "What a little thief, you're cruel enough to take action!"
[Ahem... I'm with my wife today, so I've updated a little less, and I'll only update one chapter. I'll guarantee to make up for everyone tomorrow! I'll definitely break my promise tomorrow. I won't go back on my word. Dance and hug my head, please call me~
