Long Shengna carried Jingfeng back to the place where she had fought fiercely with Meng Bei. The surrounding trees collapsed and the ground was in a mess.
"There it is."
Jingfeng pointed in one direction, where there was a corpse hanging upside down with its head grabbing the ground. It was staring straight ahead with its eyes wide open. It still had an extremely shocked expression on its face when it died.
Long Shengna took one look, her face turned pale with fright, and she hurriedly buried her face in Jing Feng's shoulder.
"He's dead, there's nothing to be afraid of."
Jingfeng said in relief, then found a fire stick from Long Shengna's storage bag, shook it twice, and lit Meng Bei's body on fire. Suddenly, black smoke billowed in the forest, and a foul smell spread everywhere.
Jingfeng watched from a distance until the body turned into a pile of charred ashes, then he and Long Shengna walked down the mountain.
As the sun gradually set, the two of them walked seven or eight miles and finally arrived at a small village on the outskirts of the mountain.
The first thing I did after entering the village was to quickly find an inn to have something to eat. Jingfeng and Long Shengna hadn't had a full meal in two or three days and were already so hungry that their chests pressed against their backs.
The conditions in the village are very limited. It is said to be an inn, but in fact it is a restaurant converted from a private house. The owner is an elderly couple and there is no one else to help.
Jingfeng found a table at random and shouted, "Is the shopkeeper here?"
"Here! Here! Sir, what do you want to eat?"
A short man with a square face ran over, picked up the rag, put it on his shoulder, and responded repeatedly.
"Serve me whatever dishes you have here, the sooner the better!"
"Jingfeng, can't you finish this?"
Jingfeng stretched out his hand to signal Long Shengna to shut up and said, "Just eat and I'll treat you. If you can't finish it, I'll treat it as a midnight snack."
The man looked at Jing Feng and Long Shengna. Although they were dusty, it was not difficult to see that they were beautiful and had extraordinary temperament.
The dishes here are all home-cooked, and people in the village can cook them at home, so there are not many people who come here to eat, and not many tourists from outside the area stop here. It is really the first time to encounter scenery like this. Back.
He thought to himself that these two people did not look like moneyless masters at first glance, and their faces were smiling like chrysanthemums, so he immediately responded: "Please wait a moment, sir, and I will serve you the food."
Soon, cold dishes of lotus root, bamboo shoots and cucumber were served first, followed by chicken, duck and fish. The hard dish was pork knuckles and trotters, and finally the fish soup was the base.
As a cultivator, Jingfeng had a huge appetite, and he had been hungry for several days, so he just wiped his sleeves and started gobbling it up. As for Long Shengna, she chewed her food carefully at first, but later she felt that she didn't need to care too much about her image in front of Jingfeng, so she ate lavishly.
Not long after, the table full of food was eaten by the two of them. The man watched in shock and called his wife to come out and watch.
Jingfeng rubbed his belly with satisfaction and asked Long Shengna across from him: "Are you full?"
Long Shengna took out a handkerchief from her arms, wiped her mouth shyly, and responded inaudibly.
"Shopkeeper, pay!"
The man was stunned for a moment and ran over quickly, with a smile on his face.
"Sir, there are three hundred and seventeen coins in total. Just give me three hundred coins."
Here in the mountains and countryside, prices are even cheaper than in Yimu town. This couple is also a real person, and they charge more without looking at the tourists.
Jingfeng took out two taels of silver and slapped it on the table and asked, "Is there a guest room here?"
"Yes! Yes!"
"Arrange two rooms for me. We can rest here for a few days. If the money is not enough, I will make up for it when we check out."
"That's enough! That's enough! Thank you sir!"
The man took the two taels of silver from Jingfeng with a smile, turned around and said to his wife: "Old lady! Go and arrange a guest room for the guest!"
"Please, you two."
The man didn't ask why Jingfeng wanted two rooms instead of sharing a bed with this stunning beauty. No matter what, as long as you make money!
"By the way, shopkeeper, I have something to ask you."
Jingfeng asked for some information about the surrounding location, etc., and the man answered them for him one by one.
This village is called Pingshui Village. It has a population of only a few hundred people, almost all of whom are old and young. The younger ones are relatively rare. Most of them have gone to towns. There are no sacrifices in the village. The village chief with the highest level of cultivation is only at the early stage of Baihui realm.
This place is still more than a thousand miles away from Beikai City. Due to the previous dealings with Mengbei, a lot of time was wasted on the road. Now it will take more than five days to go there by mountain road. However, Meng Bei was dead, so Jingfeng had no worries and decided to stay here now to recover from his injuries before continuing on his way.
Jingfeng asked Long Shengna to go to the village drugstore to grab some herbs, then returned to the room, took a bottle of healing pill and poured it into his mouth.
Jingfeng poured half of the bottle in one go, his mouth bulging. He sat cross-legged, raised his hands up and down to his Dantian, and circulated his true energy to convert the medicinal energy. The decomposed elixir followed the true energy and flowed unimpeded through Jingfeng's lungs and meridians, and finally gathered at the most injured part of his chest.
After Long Shengna came back from buying the herbs Jingfeng asked for, she didn't bother him and went back to her room to rest.
Jingfeng practiced with concentration and healed his injuries. He didn't go to bed until late at night. When he woke up again, it was already the evening of the next day.
He opened his eyes, and what he saw was a beautiful figure sitting by the window, a little blurry and a little familiar.
"Lian'er?"
When Long Shengna heard Jingfeng's voice, she quickly stood up in surprise, but this unfamiliar name made the smile on her face gradually solidify.
Jingfeng shook his head and found a woman wearing a goose-yellow dress. She had a graceful figure and straight and slender thighs. She was definitely Long Shengna.
"Miss Long." Jingfeng greeted with a smile, "Sorry, I just recognized the wrong person."
Long Shengna straightened her thoughts, turned around and said with a smile: "Humph, even I can admit my mistake. It's no use that I've been here to keep you awake since morning."
Jingfeng's heart warmed up, and he smiled and said, "Jingfeng will remember Miss Long's great kindness and kindness in his heart, and he will definitely do it in the future..."
"No need."
Long Shengna waved her hand and said with a sweet smile: "Miss Long, Miss Long, don't I have a name?"
Jingfeng laughed, scratched his head and said nothing.
"You didn't even change your clothes when you went to bed last night, and you made other people's beds dirty."
"I didn't pay attention." Jingfeng quickly got up, feeling a dull pain in his chest due to the sudden movement.
He clutched his chest and grinned and got out of bed. Unexpectedly, Long Shengna immediately screamed and carried her body away.
"What's wrong?"
Jingfeng didn't know why Long Shengna had such a big reaction. Just when he was about to ask, he glanced down and suddenly felt his face heat up.
"How about you go out first?" Jingfeng said awkwardly.
Long Shengna was covering her eyes with her delicate hands, nodded silently, and then moved out cautiously.
When she walked to the door, she reminded Jingfeng: "I have put the herbs and medicinal powder you asked me to buy on your window sill. Remember to use them."
"Oh, thank you!" Jingfeng replied and packed up.
Long Shengna returned to her room and silently closed the door. She leaned against the edge of the door and let out a long sigh of relief. Her chest kept beating, and she touched her cheeks which were still a little hot.
Jingfeng took off his coat, took out a set of clean clothes from the cloth bag, and then carried the wooden basin to the backyard to get some water. He poured the medicinal powder into the water and jumped in. A cool medicinal energy melted on the surface of his body.
After bathing, Jingfeng changed his clothes and went to the restaurant in the front yard to have something to eat. When I came back, I happened to meet Long Shengna again.
Jingfeng took the initiative to say hello, and just as he was about to go back to the room, Long Shengna quietly grabbed his sleeve.
"What's wrong?" Jingfeng asked.
Long Shengna changed her usual coquettish posture, lowered her head and said in a voice like a mosquito, "Let's find a place to talk."
After saying that, he took Jingfeng and walked out.
The two of them came to the roof. It was already dark, and every house in the mountain village had lights on. They looked up at the deep night sky, dotted with stars.
"How...is your health?" Long Shengna asked.
"Well, it's better. Do I seem like the kind of person who gets into trouble easily?"
As he spoke, Jingfeng clenched his right fist and deliberately showed off his muscles to Long Shengna.
Long Shengna was so amused that she covered her mouth and laughed, and lightly hit Jingfeng.
"I hired a groom from the village to go to the nearest town today and arranged a carriage. Let's leave tomorrow morning."
"Where to go?"
"Beikai City."
Jingfeng thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Then I'll let you decide."
"You will still listen to other people's arrangements?"
Long Shengna's face was full of "incredible" expression.
"That depends on who arranged it." Jingfeng laughed loudly.
"Hmph, the look of death." Long Shengna said coquettishly.
"By the way, do you have anything to do after you go to Beikaicheng?"
"I have to sell my two spiritual weapons and buy some materials." Jingfeng added, "I was asked to buy them by someone else."
"Is he the one who gave you the spiritual weapon?" When Long Shengna first met Jingfeng, she was quite interested in the master behind him, but Jingfeng didn't tell her anything at that time.
"Yes." Now that the two of them are very familiar with each other, Jingfeng no longer hides anything.
"Isn't he very powerful?"
"Yes." Jingfeng looked at the night sky and nodded, "My master is also very powerful."
"Do you still have a master?"
Jingfeng pretended to be warm and angry and said, "What do you mean?"
"Shameless person, who can teach a disciple like you?" Long Shengna covered her mouth and chuckled.
Jingfeng didn't refute and changed the subject: "What about you, how will you explain it when you go back?"
Long Shengna thought about it seriously and said: "My parents also knew about the transport of Zhu Huai's cubs this time, but there was too much pressure from all sides, so I took it."
"However, if something happens to me this time, our family will not let it go."
"Then I asked you at that time, why did you still hesitate when you were almost dead? Why didn't you want to give up?"
"I, I..." Long Shengna blushed, but luckily she couldn't see it in the dark.
"However, it is not too late to realize how valuable life is."
Long Shengna nodded, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "By the way, who is Lian'er?"
Jingfeng was stunned for a moment, as if he had betrayed himself. He was no longer as calm as before, and said with erratic eyes: "Yes... he is... a very important person to me."
"How important is it?" Long Shengna couldn't help but joke.
"It's my... lost love."
"You brat, how old are you, and you still love me? Do you know what love is?"
Long Shengna was amused and said sarcastically.
"You know what the heck, I'll be nineteen next month! What about you?"
"Hmph, can I just ask a woman's age?" Long Shengna pinched the back of Jingfeng's hand.
"Old woman." Jingfeng scorned.
"Jingfeng! You bastard! I'll strangle you to death!"
The two were playing around, but Jingfeng didn't resist and allowed Long Shengna to put her hand on his neck.
"Do you admit defeat?" Long Shengna pretended to exert her strength, "As long as you introduce me to the master who can forge spiritual weapons, I will let you go."
"Don't even think about it."
"Then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"dream!"
The two played and joked for a while, until everyone in the village turned off their fires, and then they came down from the roof.
Long Shengna put her hands on her lower abdomen and walked briskly in front, while Jingfeng rested his head on his hands and walked slowly behind.
Suddenly, Long Shengna stopped.
"Jingfeng, thank you."
The beauty looked back and smiled.
Jingfeng looked fascinated.
