Chapter 195 Leaving the Mountains
A mountain village more than ten miles away from Lin Shu and the others.
Feeling guilty, the bandit leader Zhu Laoba let Shen Lin and Ye Feng return to the village and asked the villagers to help him find Lin Shu and Ye Feng.
It couldn't really be called a bandit stronghold; apart from Zhu Laoba's group, everyone inside was a group of weak and frail old men who couldn't even kill a chicken.
Unfortunately, after searching for several days and shouting until their voices were hoarse, they still couldn't find any trace of them. There were large wild animals in the depths of the forest, so they dared not venture further and had to return empty-handed.
"Waaah..." Ye Feng plopped down on the grass, completely disregarding his image, and cried, "Shen Lin, do you think Lin Shu and the others wouldn't... be dead?"
We've searched for so long, but there's still no news, and the cliff is so high!
"Stop crying!" Shen Lin felt a headache coming on when he saw her like this: "Lin Shu is so smart, maybe they're not hurt at all and have already gone to the Southern Capital!"
Shen Lin himself wasn't very confident in his words. After all, falling from such a height would have left him either dead or crippled. Now, all he could do was rush to the capital and pin his hopes on the Peerless Pavilion that Lin Shu had mentioned.
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng found it quite reasonable, so he wiped away his tears, stood up, and nodded in agreement with an air of seriousness:
"That's right! Let's set off quickly! I carry Ji Wan's two heavy sledgehammers every day! We should meet up with them as soon as possible and return them to her."
Shen Lin wanted to offer to take it for Ye Feng, but after glancing at the heavy long-handled double hammers in her hand, she silently looked away and decided to give it to Ye Feng instead.
So the next day, Shen Lin and his companion left the place and headed straight for the capital, followed by a tail – Zhu Laoba.
It is said that she was going to the capital to find her sister, so she went with them so that they could look after each other.
……
Lin Shu and her two companions had been wandering in that forest for several days without finding a way out, and they had encountered all sorts of wild animals.
However, they never expected that the seemingly petite and cute Azhu would be as strong as an ox. Every time they encountered a wild beast, Lin Shu and Ji Wan didn't even need to lift a finger; he would take it down all by himself...
Looking at the man before her, who was pinning down a wild boar like a beast, his jaws snapping shut on the boar's carotid artery, Ji Wan's eyes widened. She swallowed hard and murmured to Lin Shu:
"This little fool is so fierce! No wonder the wild animals that lived in that area looked at us like we were ghosts!"
The wild boar seemed to have died. A-Zhu climbed off it and, hearing Ji Wan call him "little fool" again, glared angrily at Ji Wan.
Ji Wan felt a chill on her neck and silently moved two steps behind Lin Shu.
A-Zhu raised her sleeve, hastily wiped the blood from her face, and looked up at Lin Shu with bright eyes.
Lin Shu understood and parted her thin lips slightly: "Very impressive."
Upon hearing this, A-Zhu laughed even more foolishly, her eyes curving into crescent moons.
Lin Shu patted his head: "Let's go, the smell of blood here is too strong, it might attract more wild animals."
A-Zhu nodded and followed Lin Shu closely.
……
half a month later.
A group of Wushuang Pavilion members slowly slid down the cliff from which Lin Shu had fallen.
That's right! Shen Lin and the others have arrived in the Southern Capital and successfully made contact with the Peerless Pavilion. As Lin Shu instructed, they hired someone to find her.
Unexpectedly, the people from Wushuang Pavilion were even more anxious than they were. They set off with a large group of people without even negotiating the price.
It's a pity that this group of people is destined to miss out on Lin Shu and the others!
Because, at the same time, Lin Shu and the other two had already left the forest at the bottom of the cliff and arrived directly at the foot of Nanhuan County.
Lin Shuan took out the fake travel pass that she had prepared in her spatial storage, added Azhu's name to it, and led them through the city gate in a generous manner.
Once they were far from the city gate, Ji Wan sneakily punched Lin Shu and exclaimed, "Haha! Well done! I thought I wouldn't be able to get in today, but I didn't expect you to have a travel permit here!"
Ji Wan's travel permit had long been soaked in water and turned into a piece of waste paper.
Lin Shu glanced at him sideways, then slapped his hand away and walked straight to the nearest clothing store. She had been wearing this outfit for a long time and now she was extremely disgusted with it!
Although there were spare clothes in the space, she couldn't take them out because Ji Wan and A Zhu were there, and A Zhu was watching her all the time!
Seeing Lin Shu walk forward, A-Zhu quickly followed, her words becoming increasingly fluent: "Sister, wait for A-Zhu."
"Tch! Show-off."
Ji Wan outwardly appeared to disagree, but she didn't stop walking and followed Lin Shu into the clothing store.
When they came out, Ji Wan had the most in her hands.
Lin Shu and A Zhu simply changed out of their clothes and took out a new set of clothes to change into...
As soon as Ji Wan heard that Lin Shu was paying, she wanted to empty the store and tried on one set of clothes after another. If it weren't for A Zhu's impatient grin at her, she probably wouldn't have come out at all.
The three of them casually found an inn to sit down and eat. Having not had this kind of food for several days, Ji Wan was extremely hungry and wolfed down her food.
As for A-Zhu, she devoured the food with gusto, her hands full of it, and she and Ji-Wan were competing to see who could eat the fastest!
Lin Shu has always been quite restrained, and even now she eats very elegantly.
Therefore, the different eating habits of the three women at the table naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.
After a while, having filled their stomachs, Ji Wan and A Zhu slowed down. A Zhu raised her greasy face, looked at the elegant Lin Shu, and couldn't help but slowly move closer and closer...
But Lin Shu pressed her index finger against her forehead: "Too close, move away!"
After speaking, Lin Shu glanced at the glistening grease on his lips without making a sound, then curled her fingers that were pressing against his forehead and silently withdrew them.
"Sister..." Azhu looked at Lin Shu with a wronged expression, feeling that Lin Shu had just looked down on her.
"Hahahaha!..." A gloating voice came from Ji Wan's mouth. She laughed so hard that she bent over backwards, and the people eating around her looked at her as if she were a fool.
A-Zhu was so embarrassed and angry by the laughter that he would violently snatch away any food that Ji Wan picked up from his plate, and then tauntingly eat it in front of Ji Wan.
Whenever Ji Wan showed the slightest dissatisfaction, A Zhu would bare his teeth and threaten her...
Ji Wan looked at the empty bowl on the table and A-Zhu, who was slumped over the table after eating too much, and said through gritted teeth:
"Shameless scoundrel..."
Upon hearing Ji Wan's words, A Zhu slowly grinned, tilted her head, and stared with innocent-looking eyes, revealing a set of big white teeth.
Ji Wan asked, looking completely bewildered, "What do you mean?"
Lin Shu turned to look at A-Zhu, then turned back and kindly explained:
He said he has teeth, so he's not 'shameless'.
