Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 436 The Lost Child

(3)

In the early morning of the next day, before sunrise, the innkeeper and his wife had already gone out. Although there were not many customers in their inn, in order to fulfill the lie they told Bai Feng last night, they had to pretend that the guest rooms were already full. He went out in a hurry to buy ingredients, and then came back to prepare meals for the guests to enjoy.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bai Feng sneaked into the innkeeper's room and searched, and found a shelf that was as high as the wall, roughly in the shape of a well, filled with porcelain, calligraphy and paintings.He didn't have time to think about how the couple who opened the inn saved a huge sum of money to maintain this kind of elegance, so he searched around in the room, and finally found the "letter paper" that the couple in the inn had mentioned in their conversation last night.

"Daughter Yu Ke..." He roughly read a few lines and confirmed that they were correct. Then he turned back to the exhibition rack of porcelain, calligraphy and painting, and said to himself, "How much money did I spend to have such a wall?" 'what?"

He picked up a pear-shaped celadon and continued to sigh: "The money that should have been given to A Ke turned into these things? Suddenly I can understand why the 'Grand Thief' Su Qing wants to rob the rich and help the poor. happy!"

Before the words fell, there was only a clang, and the celadon shattered into several pieces, and it was no longer shaped.Not long after, there were a few more sounds of porcelain falling to the ground and cracking, and it was very lively.

The eldest daughter and the younger daughter of the store came to hear the sound, and saw Baifeng tearing up the scrolls with his hands and kicking the porcelain, but in a short while, the whole shelf was overturned by him, she cried out in horror: "What are you doing!"

"Ah?" Bai Feng pretended not to hear, still a little drunk, and continued to smash, while replying: "I'm hitting a fly, you didn't see it, such a big fly, don't kill it , I can't sleep!"

After hearing this, the second daughter cried even louder: "Woooooo! Father, mother, there are villains..."

When she stopped crying, the owner of the inn finally came back. The innkeeper had a long face and narrow shoulders, and when he met him, he made a noise louder than his own child, and said heart-piercingly, "My baby!"

Bai Feng thought that he was feeling sorry for his daughter, but when he took a closer look, he realized that he was kneeling in front of the broken pieces of porcelain on the ground and howling, without seeing his daughter at all, so he couldn't help scolding angrily: "Why are you hugging this pile of dead flies?"

"You bastard!" The owner of the inn knew he was invincible, so he immediately retreated outside the door to greet his wife to watch over the child, "I'm going to sue the officials right now, don't leave if you have the guts!"

"Hmph, the fool won't leave!" Bai Feng drew his sword out of its sheath and replied, "Do you believe that I can kill you within three steps? Now, you have already gone two steps."

After hearing this, the innkeeper saw that his legs softened and he knelt down on the ground, and he didn't want to go for a moment.

"Mother, can you tell your child not to cry?"

The proprietress of the inn said: "Okay, okay, okay..."

"Isn't it just a jug made of broken tiles, why bother?"

The innkeeper said: "These are treasures!"

"What about Yu Ke? I'm a vulgar person, I don't understand these bottles and jars."

The listeners were speechless.

"Come with me, whoever dares to leave me three steps away, you will know what will happen to you."

After finishing speaking, everyone moved back to the lobby, and it was time for Ake to clean up.She slept soundly last night, but after waking up, the winter chill quickly paralyzed her body again, making her unable to notice what happened elsewhere, and she could only focus on what she had to accomplish every day affairs so as not to be punished.

"Ake, go and get the charcoal stove."

"What happened?" A Ke looked at Bai Feng and the other three with surprise on his face.

"Go, go, do you want to kill our whole family!"

After hearing the complaints from her uncle and aunt, A Ke brought the charcoal stove, and then naturally hid in the distance, not daring to get close to this strange warmth.

Seeing this, Bai Feng shook her head helplessly, and then said softly to A Ke: "Little sister, come here and let them pass..."

The owner of the inn reluctantly walked over to the place just next to the door of the inn, and there would be a gust of cold wind blowing from time to time.

"I have a letter here, written by Yu Ke's mother." Bai Feng held up the letterhead and asked A Ke, "Little sister, is this your mother's handwriting?"

After reading it, A Ke replied repeatedly: "Yes, it was written by my mother! She finally sent a letter..."

"Last night I accidentally ran into those two discussing in the room, saying that I don't want you to see this letter, and of course, there is also the money your mother sent you." Bai Feng handed the letter paper to the owner of the inn, He threatened: "Do you want to know what is written in it?"

"I think, I miss it so much!" Tears welled up in the corners of A Ke's eyes, and the nostalgia and expectations that still existed in her heart were all because of her mother's letter...

Bai Feng then raised his sword to signal the other party to read out what was written in the letter: "Daughter Yu Ke... More than half a year has passed since the last letter. Seeing that the weather is getting colder, I think you must not be short of food and clothing as you grow up, so I send you here." Someone sent a lot of money to support the family, please forgive my mother for being incompetent and not being with you."

"Mother really still misses me." A Ke was very moved when she heard that she was in a difficult situation halfway.

The owner of the inn suddenly stopped and asked: "Hero, don't you need to read the next one?"

"you dare?"

"I'll read, I'll read!" I saw his hands holding up the letter began to tremble uncontrollably, "Every time I think of A Ke, I always think that I am still a baby. Fortunately, I saw what my elder sister said in her reply, and learned that A Ke has already passed away. She is slim and graceful, I am very relieved, and I hope that Ake will cultivate her personality and live up to her elder sister's kindness in nurturing her."

After hearing this, A Ke was extremely surprised, and when she thought about it, she burst into tears. No matter how tired and bitter she has been, she has never been as weak as she is today.

"Still... still reading?" the innkeeper asked.

Bai Feng walked up to A Ke, and replied, "If you read any further, I'll cut off your tongue."

"Why, why..." A Ke muttered, and couldn't help throwing herself on Bai Feng, crying loudly: "Mother, she... thought I was doing well, but I wasn't doing well at all... . . . she would be very sad if she found out."

"You are such a silly child." Bai Feng stroked the back of her messy head: "It's all this time, are you still blaming yourself?"

"me?"

Bai Feng continued to ask: "A Ke, do you know where my mother is?"

"I remember, it was in Jinyang."

"The capital of Daqi? Perhaps, this is fate..." Bai Feng said: "It seems that our destination is exactly the same."

The innkeeper was puzzled and said, "What do you want to do?"

"A Ke, do you have the guts to go with me?" Bai Feng ignored the others and only said to A Ke, "Let's go find your mother together."

"En!" A Ke nodded, and went back to her "small black room" to pack her luggage. Although it was a luggage, there was only half a round jade pendant left.

"This is the only thing my mother left behind." She sobbed: "Let's go."

Bai Feng took out a few copper coins and threw them on the ground, saying goodbye to the owner of the inn: "The money is considered to be paid to you by me. We will have no grievances or enmities in the future. If you still want to pursue it, don't blame me for being ruthless."

After speaking, he took the horse and carried A Ke up, and put on the fur cloak Su Qing had sent her to keep her out of the cold, and the two of them disappeared in the cold wind.
