Chapter 87: Fleeing
Starting from the abandoned temple where Shen Lin and others, and walking dozens of miles, you have already left the territory under the jurisdiction of Linjiang City. The junction of the two places is not as chaotic as you imagine.
As far as Liu Xiu knew during this period, Linjiang City was just a city within the sphere of influence of Changhe Sword Sect. For cities like Linjiang City, Changhe Sword Sect also controls twenty or thirty cities.
In other words, even after leaving the scope of Linjiang City, Liu Xiu was still within the scope of the Changhe Sword Sect. This shows how powerful the Changhe Sword Sect is!
The world here is extremely vast, with countless martial arts forces of all sizes. From Chen Feng's words at the beginning, Liu Xiu guessed that for the whole world, the Changhe Sword Sect might not be so dazzling.
It has been almost a year since I came to this world, and Liu Xiu still has limited understanding of this world.
"The destination of this trip, Zuihuayin, has exceeded the scope of influence of the Changhe Sword Sect, and I don't know how the order there is compared..."
Thinking of this in his heart, Liu Xiu was not in a hurry to get there. It was still early before the plot was going, so he was not in a hurry at all. Anyway, Zui Huayin was there and wouldn't run away.
Because he had seen Linjiang City, Liu Xiu roughly estimated that the city in the world was similar, it was nothing more than a difference in size. After the freshness, he had no idea of going to another city to see it, and he still went to the wilderness.
Time flies, and five days quietly slip away under Liu Xiu's feet.
These days he has seen several interesting scenery. He saw an ancient banyan tree in an ancient village. The ancient banyan tree is very big and almost covers most of the village. Many buildings in that village are even built on banyan trees. The villagers there said that the ancient banyan tree has a history of thousands of years.
Liu Xiuxin said that the ancient banyan trees that have been for thousands of years may have been cultivated into "grandma" due to the particularity of this world. The banyan trees grew fast, so Liu Xiu did not believe the villagers' words. He also observed that the banyan tree was just a little bigger and nothing special.
Secondly, he saw an extremely huge waterfall in a place, which was downstream of the Lutao River. The scene was really spectacular. The waterfall was nearly eight kilometers wide and the drop was more than 500 meters. The waterfall roared for dozens of miles away and the earth was trembling. Anyone who stood by the waterfall would feel extremely small.
When he saw the waterfall, Liu Xiu wanted to go under the waterfall to try to see if he could withstand the impact force. However, when he saw an old turtle nearly 30 meters long falling down, he decisively gave up that idea.
In addition to those two special scenery, Liu Xiu also climbed up to a mountain top that towered into the clouds to see the sunrise and sunset. After looking for something fresh, he didn't think there was anything special.
Well, during this period, he also met some people who helped a farmer find a lost ox and used the candy I bought on the road to persuade a group of children to shake hands and make peace. He even sent a villager with broken legs to the town clinic. The medical expenses were paid by Liu Xiu, and there were three silver coins. He didn't want to let others pay it back. It was not easy to see that family. The villagers with broken legs were the main labor force in the family. If they were disabled, the family would be ruined...
Anyway, it’s all these trivial matters. Liu Xiu stops and stops when he sees a good scenery. When he meets people in need, he doesn’t mind reaching out to help.
However, what made him a little regretful was that he never encountered bandits, just like hiding from him, which gave him no chance to satisfy some of the plots hidden in his heart.
At noon that day, Liu Xiu himself didn't know how far away from Linjiang City, so he came to a town.
The size of this town is smaller than that of Qingliu Town and is called "Heishi Town". He inquired from the residents of the town that the town was named after a mineral in the town.
Minerals are coal mines, black stones, so they are named Black Stone Town.
Coal mines are the main source of income in the town, and most people in the town make a living around the coal mine.
It is worth mentioning that there are not many big families in this town, only one Shi family is the dominant one, and that coal mine is also under the control of his family.
This is a real mine at home. Of course, even if there is mine in this world, you can’t jump around even if you have mine in your home. At most, you just have some brands in the town. You still have to keep a low profile when you go out.
After having a meal at a restaurant in the town, Liu Xiu took out his map to study the next route, saying it was a map, but in fact it was only a few place names. The starting point was Linjiang City and the end point was Zuihuayin. He used a line to connect several place names, which he drew by himself.
Now he has taken one-third of the route on the map.
"The next step should be to Baita Town. It's hundreds of miles away. I heard that there is a White Stone Tower with dozens of layers worth viewing. I don't know if it's true. I hope you don't disappoint you then..."
Write down the place name Baita Town on the ‘map’. Liu Xiu drew a line, connected Heishi Town and Baita Town, and pointed an arrow to him to see his next direction.
After finishing all this, he checked out and left the restaurant. While walking around the town, Liu Xiu was attracted by the scene of a crowd watching and was curious to surround him to see the strange ones.
A platform was set up on the side of the street, and the colorful cloth hung on the platform looked quite festive. There were hundreds of people watching the audience, and the number of people was increasing.
"This old man has disturbed me. I'll ask what he is doing?" After a few glances, Liu Xiu couldn't see what was going on, so he asked an old man next to him.
The old man was very easy-going and stroked his beard and said, "Young son, you came from another place, right? No wonder you don't know what's going on. This is the Shi family in the town recruiting a husband. This platform was set up three days ago, but the Shi family has never recruited a satisfied one."
"Celebrating a son-in-law? The Shi family? Is it the Shi family with mines in the town?" Liu Xiu asked curiously.
The old man smiled and said, "Isn't it that Shi family?"
"Since it's the Shi family, why do you still use it to build a platform to recruit son-in-law on the street? As long as the wind is heard, the threshold will not be broken," Liu Xiu said in surprise.
There is a mine at home, Liu Xiu estimated that even if the eldest lady from the Shi family likes to play "Happy Ball", countless men will pinch their noses and recognize them.
"Why didn't the news come out? Two years ago, the Shi family was recruiting his eldest daughter for his eldest daughter. However, the Shi family's eldest daughter had too high vision and had never met anyone satisfied." The old man said in a low voice, as if he was afraid that someone would hear it.
Then Liu Xiu heard a "well" voice of approval from around him, and several people around him were listening to gossip with their ears pricked up.
While Liu Xiu was speechless, the old man who was talking to him suddenly lit up his eyes and said, "Hey, young man, you haven't gotten married yet, why don't you try it? By the way, if you enter the gate of the Shi family, it will be a lifetime of wealth and wealth. I see that you are tall and big, and you have a good face, so you have a chance..."
What do you think of this? Liu Xiu couldn't smile bitterly, but he asked a few more questions because of curiosity, why did he still put a red line on himself?
"No, I won't do it. Let's leave the opportunity to others. I'll take a look and I have to hurry on the way. Old man, you guys are busy." Liu Xiu shook his head quickly and said.
"Young man, just try it, maybe it will be done all at once."
"Yes, yes, the Shi family is a sea of gold and silver. If you miss this opportunity, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
"Hey, don't leave, you young man..."
The people around looked at Liu Xiu and said in great enthusiasm.
Liu Xiu didn't dare to stay too long, so he pulled away quickly, thinking that he might have to "explain" here if he stayed for a while.
"The Shi family's eldest daughter is out, and a new round of son-in-law recruitment has begun."
"I don't know if she can find a satisfactory husband this time..."
Just as Liu Xiu pulled away, a whistle came from the crowd, so Liu Xiu subconsciously stopped and looked up at the platform, wanting to see what the young lady of the Shi family looks like with a mine at home. After searching for several years, she hasn't found a satisfactory husband. How high is that?
Then Liu Xiu saw the so-called Shi family lady, and immediately burst her eyes and thought to herself that no wonder she had a mine in her family and could not find a satisfactory husband.
On the platform, the eldest lady of the Shi family stood up. She was wearing gold and silver and suddenly had a terrifying power. She was about 1.8 meters tall and was rare among women. However, with an estimated weight of 500 pounds, how could it be so terrifying!
Seeing the eldest lady of the Shi family with her own eyes, Liu Xiuxin said no wonder she couldn't get a satisfactory husband. Who can resist her physical constitution? If she accidentally turned over and pressed her to the death at night, she would be in danger of life.
However, Liu Xiu also felt that the woman was very pitiful. Because she was too fat, she couldn't get married. From the sadness revealed in her hard-working eyes, she could feel how depressed she felt in her heart.
'Sure enough, not anyone's 'best lady' is a beauty...' Liu Xiu said in his heart.
Although he felt a little sympathetic to the eldest lady of the Shi family, he couldn't help with such things.
After a glance, Liu Xiu was about to leave, but the next moment he trembled all over. He found that the eldest lady of the Shi family on the stage looked at him, and suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart.
"Dad, mom, come here. I saw someone who was satisfied. It was him. I caught him and I will enter the bridal chamber today!" The young lady of the Shi family on the stage reached out and pointed at Liu Xiu and said excitedly, with a look of happiness that was about to faint.
Well, the fat and ball-shaped face made such an expression difficult for her.
At this time, Liu Xiu found that everyone around him was dispersed and looked at him gloatingly. He also found a large group of people in black outside surrounded him, and immediately took a breath of air conditioning.
I just sympathized with her, it was not worthy of sympathy.
Without saying anything, the soles of the feet were oiled, and Liu Xiu suddenly ran away in panic. I just saw that it was strange that he encountered such a terrifying thing.
Not to mention, the Shi family’s eldest lady’s voice is pretty good. If she can lose weight, she will probably be a potential stock.
Liu Xiu, who ran away, said in his heart...
