Ye Hong and Miaomiao came to the inn and happened to see the coachman, Uncle Li, coming out.
"Sir, I just happened to meet you. This is your room key. You live on the second floor. I live next door. If you need anything, just come to me. I'm going to feed the horses first."
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Li."
"Brother Ye Hong, it seems that that person is not in the inn, but in the courtyard inside."
Ye Hong and Miaomiao came to the yard behind the inn. There was only an old man chopping firewood in the yard. Although he was not very fast, his movements were very skillful. It looked like he had been chopping firewood for decades.
"Miaomiao, you're not talking about this old man, are you?"
Miaomiao replied seriously, "Well, yes, it's him that I feel."
At this time, the old man in the courtyard also noticed the two children at the entrance of the courtyard, and put down the hatchet in his hand, "Where did you little babies come from? Can't you find your family members?"
When Ye Hong saw his grandfather asking about the two of him, he quickly replied, "Hello, grandpa! We saw a big yard here, so we were curious. Grandpa, what are you doing?"
The old man said with a smile, "Haha~ I am chopping firewood. You should stay away from here. If the flying wood accidentally hurts you, it will be bad. Go back quickly."
Ye Hong asked doubtfully, "Grandpa, why are you still chopping firewood here at such an old age?"
"You little kid really doesn't recognize your child. If my grandson was still alive, he would be as old as you. Hey~." The old man suddenly felt sad when he saw the little boy asking himself questions.
"Grandpa, what about your grandson?"
"I will never see him again. When he was young, he went hunting with his father in the mountains and was accidentally eaten by a monster. Alas, no one expected that monsters would appear there." The old man seemed to be missing him. A few tears shed from the corners of his eyes, and Ye Hong hurriedly helped the old man wipe them away.
The old man looked kindly at the little boy who was wiping his tears. "As people get older, they tend to talk more. I have said so much to you. Go back to your family quickly, otherwise they will be anxious."
"Then...goodbye, grandpa!" Ye Hong and the other two said goodbye to the grandpa and returned to the inn room.
After Miaomiao returned to the room, she couldn't bear to say, "That old man is a bit pitiful."
"Well, yes, it's indeed quite pitiful, but the old man is so old, and we can't help him practice even if we want to."
After Ye Hong and the two had dinner in the room, Ye Hong asked Miao Miao to practice. He left the room and went to the corridor to listen to the chats of the diners below. However, he did not get any useful information. They were all short-lived. Gossip and bragging.
After a while, he returned to the room and watched Miao Miao practice. Because it was really boring. I didn’t know how many times I had read the exchange techniques, and there was nothing to study, so I could only stare at Miaomiao in a daze.
If there is anything else that can be studied but not understood, it is the wonderful thing in front of me. Why is it that Miaomiao can practice so quickly, has such a strong comprehension ability, and has such a powerful cheat called Shadow Sword?
As for why Ye Hong only asked Uncle Li to open a room, it was because Ye Hong was worried about Miaomiao's safety when he was away from home. Miaomiao didn't know how to deal with an accident if something happened to the unfamiliar place. Anyway, they were only nine years old now, so they lived together. It's okay, it's not the first time Miaomiao has slept with me. The last time this little girl sneaked into her room, she didn't even settle the score with her.
Ye Hong seemed fine. He was tired after a long day's journey. He lay on the bed and fell asleep soon.
When he woke up the next day, Ye Hong touched his side as a habit, and sure enough, Miaomiao was lying next to him again. Ye Hong looked carefully at Miaomiao's sleeping appearance, "Not to mention, Miaomiao's sleeping appearance is so cute, I really want to pinch her face."
Miaomiao seemed to feel that someone was looking at her. She opened her eyes and woke up. She looked at Ye Hong who was looking at her and said softly, "Brother Ye Hong, good morning."
Ye Hong pinched Miaomiao's face and said happily, "Morning! Miaomiao, get up, let's have breakfast and set off."
After another day of traveling, Ye Hong and his party finally arrived at Dihai City in the evening. I stayed at an inn in the city and asked the innkeeper about the situation in Dihai City and where to enter the mountains.
In the room, Ye Hong said, "I heard from the waiter that if you want to enter the mountains, you have to go from the north of the city. Let's go to the market over there tomorrow and buy some supplies in the city before entering the mountains."
"Well, listen to brother Ye Hong!"
The next day, Ye Hong took Miao Miao to the market in the north of the city. Looking at the dazzling array of things on both sides of the street, "I have to say that it makes sense that Dihai City is bigger than Xihai City. The streets are obviously bigger than Xihai City. It’s much more prosperous, and there are many things I’ve never seen before. Let’s go! Miaomiao, let’s take a walk.”
"Come and take a look, fresh deer antlers are sold cheaply for only a hundred wind coins!"
"The newly caught green monkey only costs 700 wind coins to take home! Don't miss it if you pass by."
Ye Hong looked at the green monkey in the cage curiously, "Is this a monster? It's so strange! It feels a bit like a monkey in the zoo."
Miaomiao was seeing this for the first time and couldn't help but be curious, "Brother Ye Hong, can he eat people?"
Ye Hong was a little embarrassed when Miaomiao asked him something he didn't know. "I don't know either. There are no records about monsters in the books in Mo Wenxuan's library. I will have to look around the city to see if there is anything about introducing monsters." Books of beasts.”
"I just heard that you want to buy a book? What kind of book do you want to buy? My little pornographic book, martial arts secrets, the secrets of the emperor's harem, everything you need, not ninety-nine-eight, just ninety-eight, take the new book home, little brother, come here One?"
Ye Hong raised his head and looked at the person who had just spoken next to him. In front of him was a little girl who was a head taller than him, about fifteen or sixteen years old.
"...Are you sure you have serious books to sell?"
"Why not? Come with me and I will take you to get it."
At this time, Miaomiao whispered something in Ye Hong's ear. After hearing this, Ye Hong looked at the girl in front of him calmly and said, "Okay, it just so happens that I urgently need a book about introducing monsters. You can Let me look for it."
The girl led the two of them to the entrance of an alley, "Wait for me here, and I will get it for you right away." After saying this, the girl disappeared into the alley in a blink of an eye.
"Miaomiao, can you feel where she went?"
"She entered that place after entering the alley, and then she didn't move again. Brother Ye Hong, do we want to go there?" Miaomiao pointed to somewhere in the alley.
Ye Hong leaned under the tree nearby and said leisurely, "No, we'll just wait here and see what tricks she can come up with."
After a while, the girl came out of the alley, came to Ye Hong, and raised the book in her hand to Ye Hong. The four characters "Encyclopedia of Monsters and Beasts" could be clearly seen on the cover.
"Here is the book, hand over the money with one hand and the book with the other!" After saying that, he immediately extended his other hand to Ye Hong to signal Ye Hong to give him the money.
"Well, the money is here, it's exactly ninety-eight." Ye Hong took out a money bag, handed it to the girl, and grabbed the book in the girl's hand with one hand. After getting the money bag, the girl released her grip on the book, and then disappeared into the alley in an instant.
Ye Hong got the book and opened it, and saw that the pictures inside were all little people, and the ghostly drawings were the same as those drawn by a three-year-old child.
Miaomiao also saw the contents of the book beside her, "Brother Ye Hong, do you want me to go and get her back?"
"No, let's just wait here. She will be back soon." After Ye Hong finished speaking, he calmly walked to a deserted place next to him and sat down.
After a while, the girl returned to the alley entrance angrily, looking around for Ye Hong, "You are here! You little liar, you actually lied to me, please give me money!"
Seeing the girl standing in front of him angrily, Ye Hong just glanced at the girl lightly, then opened the book and said, "I don't know who is a liar. The person who painted this book, tsk tsk~ The three-year-old child next to my house is better than That’s good.”
When the girl saw what Ye Hong said, she became even more angry. She grabbed the book from Ye Hong's hand and said, "You, you, you~ give the book back to me, I won't sell it anymore!"
Seeing that the book in his hand was robbed, Ye Hong was not upset. He stretched out his hand to the girl in front of him and said calmly, "I said you won't sell this book. Should you give me my money back?"
"What money! Your purse is full of leaves, there is no money at all!" the girl said angrily.
"I gave you money, do you want to deny it? I have a witness. Believe it or not, I will report it to the official immediately and say that you cheated me and won't pay back the money." Ye Hong looked at the girl fiercely and pulled her aside as he spoke. The wonderful.
Miaomiao instantly understood what Ye Hong meant, "Yes! There is money in the wallet, please return the money to us."
When the girl heard Ye Hong said that she wanted to report to the police, her face suddenly changed and she ran away.
Ye Hong was surprised to see the girl disappearing immediately, "Is this girl so afraid of being caught? Miaomiao, can you sense where she went?"
"Yeah! Brother Ye Hong, come with me."
Ye Hong was led by Miaomiao to a street not far away. He saw the girl mixed in the crowd at a glance. Ye Hong quietly went over and patted the girl, "Where are you running? I will repay you if you don't pay me back." Official!"
"Ah!" the girl screamed and disappeared again.
When Ye Hong saw that the girl had disappeared again, he was not anxious and said to Miaomiao beside him, "Miaomiao, continue to sense her location, we will follow her."
As for why Ye Hong was not in a hurry and Miaomiao could sense the girl's position, it was because when he first met the girl, Miaomiao sensed that the girl had the same dark spiritual roots as himself, so Ye Hong just Would be so interested in this girl.
The main reason is to try and see how this girl's character is. If her character is not good, Ye Hong will not teach this girl to practice.
In this way, Ye Hong would find her again soon after the girl ran away. After several attempts, the girl came to hide in an alley.
