Chronicle Of Chaos - C27
Chapter XXVII Lodging the Night
He was originally a blood clan, and although the bodies of the blood tribe females were no different from the blood tribe’s, Jin Jian was a different species. His face was that of a blood tribe member, but his figure resembled that of a blood tribe member, especially the two fins on his back, which was a characteristic that blood people were born with.
However, Jin Jian had experienced a lot of torture in the extreme cold. His blood was frozen by the cold air, and a dark color appeared on his body. It was very different from the golden scale armor that Jin Jian had on his body in the legends. As a result, people generally recognized him as a member of the Strigoi.
She was already a woman, and her body was still weak. In addition, she had experienced the pain of cold and hot in the extreme cold, so she had been humiliated quite a bit. She had carried the golden sword on her back for several miles, yet she didn’t find any inn or any lodging rooms, even though she felt that they were blood people, she had refused to accept them.
Due to her fatigue, Lu Yi’s rage secretly flared up. If it wasn’t for the fact that she was worried about Jin Jian, she would have slapped these fellows who looked down on her until they came to their senses.
However, because Jin Jian had yet to awaken and was in the territory of the Ice Origin Clan, he was not worried about escaping but could not protect Jin Jian in case he got into trouble.
In the past few days, she had felt that her sense of responsibility towards Jin Jian had grown stronger and stronger. Many times, she would rather suffer a little herself than have Jin Jian feel safe and secure.
The light of the Ice Plains came from the reflection of the sunlight from the sea. There was no such thing as day or night, so when night came, they had to find three complaints in a row, but they were all rejected.
Lu Yi couldn’t take it anymore and carried Jin Jian on her back. Seeing a tall sea tree growing in front of a door, she placed Jin Jian under a tree and let him rest while she knocked on the door.
It was an old man who opened the door. Seeing a beautiful woman in a green robe, his eyes couldn’t help but light up. His face lit up as he said, “Oh, it’s a little girl. Is there anything I can help you?”
Lu Yi saw his amiable expression and thought him to be easy to talk to. She felt relieved and said, “Hello, Uncle. My friend and I have been marching here. My friend accidentally caught a serious illness and needs rest.
The old man looked around and saw that Jin Jian was already on top of the sea tree. The two fins on Jin Jian’s back were blocked by the sea tree and he had the face of an ice tribe. When the old man saw that Lu Yi was polite and polite, he answered politely and didn’t doubt her words for a moment before saying, “There are only a few empty rooms in my house.
Lu Yi was elated. She immediately took off her jade pendant and handed it to the old man. “Thank you. I’ll make you some money for this.”
Helping others is helping yourself. Besides, it’s not a good room, so I’ll let you all stay here for the night. It’s not worth it for you to have such a good jade pendant.
Lu Yi was overjoyed. After putting away the jade pendant, she ran over and put one of Jin Jian’s hands on her shoulder. She carefully walked through the courtyard door step by step.
However, the old man had already called his wife out and went to the empty room to clean it up, preparing to let the guests stay there.
Lu Yi happened to see the old woman walk into the side room while carrying two quilts. When she saw Lu Yi support Jin Jian in through the main door, she was instantly stupefied, as if a lightning bolt had struck her face. Her eyes stared straight at the pair of fins on Jin Jian’s back as she turned around and shouted at the old man who was cleaning up the side room, “Old man, are you blind or what?!”
Lu Yi was startled. At the same time, her heart sank as an ominous premonition welled up in her heart.
When the old man heard his wife’s shout, he ran out from the side room and saw that Jin Jian had a pair of weird fins on his back. His gaze immediately changed to that of a few days ago.
“Are you blood people?” the old man asked.
Lu Yi felt a burst of annoyance in her heart. She took a deep breath and said, “I’m from the Blood Tribe.” Then, he pointed at Jin Jian. “But he’s a member of your Ice Origin Clan!”
“Bah!” The old man was immediately shocked.
Rage surged through Lu Yi’s heart, and she couldn’t help but be on the verge of erupting.
The old man yelled, “You said you’re not from the Strigoi, but you might be able to trick me. You said you’re not from the Strigoi, but you might be able to trick me.
“Shut up!” Lu Yi finally couldn’t hold herself back anymore. She was wondering when a dignified High Lord Blood Tribe’s daughter had ever been yelled at like this by someone in front of her.
Lu Yi pointed at Jin Jian’s face, “Look at him, he’s exactly the same as you Frozen Plains clansmen. He’s the disciple of your Ice Plains Clan Patriarch, his name is Jin Jian! He’s hurt and he’s going to die, so what if we’re Strigoi? He’s going to die, can’t you save us? He’s going to die, he’s going to die! ”
Her heart skipped a beat as she thought about how Jin Jian could even save her life in such a dangerous and bitter place like the deep cold, and how she had brought Jin Jian to her hometown and caused him to starve and freeze for days on end. Not to mention the fact that he didn’t even have a place to stay, his condition was unstable, and if this went on, it would be hard to prevent the blood from flowing out of his veins. There would be no sabre men here who would secretly send her shark pepper soup.
Thinking about this, she felt that she was useless and deeply hated these people for their indifference. She didn’t expect that in the extreme cold, they would be frozen to death and starve to death instead of dying from starvation.
Lu Yi untied the rope around her waist and glared at the two old men. “Are you going to let us live here?”
She had originally thought that the two old men were in their forties and wouldn’t be frightened. She had thought that she would obediently submit to any threats. Unexpectedly, the two old men might have been stubborn or numb.
From the way they looked at it, she could tell that they definitely wouldn’t accept her. She waved her hand and a long rope flew towards them.
During the night, Lu Yi sat on the grass on the floor and helped Jin Jian, who was lying on the door, drink a few mouthfuls of the fire wine. When the fire wine was still extremely cold, Dao Ren had stolen it from the Blood Tribe.
After feeding Jin Jian a few mouthfuls, Lu Yi poured the leftover fire wine into a small gourd. It was just enough to fill a gourd, so she stuffed it into her pocket.
Lu Yi sat on the grass and silently looked at Jin Jian. Her face gradually turned red after drinking the Fire Wine Golden Sword and she peacefully slept on the door like a peaceful little dog. When she thought of this, she couldn’t help but laugh.
After laughing, Lu Yi silently chanted the three words “little sea dog” a few times. Then, she looked at Jin Jian and said with a smile, “This name suits you quite well.”
Looking back at the situation he was in, he felt that he would not be able to stay here for long. He did not know when he would find a place with a inn. He did not know if the inn would accept him and Jin Jian as well.
No matter how he thought about it, he could only hope that Jin Jian would wake up soon. He definitely had a way to deal with everything, and he could even find something for him to eat in the extreme cold weather, let alone here.
After thinking for a while, Lu Yi fell into a deep sleep.
A long cry seemed to be heard vaguely. A gentle palm brushed against her forehead. Lu Yi was startled and immediately sobered up.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Jin Jian lying on the door, smiling at him.
When she saw that Jin Jian had woken up, Lu Yi was overjoyed. There were thousands of things she wanted to say, but only three words came out of her mouth: “You’re awake?”
Jin Yu nodded and looked outside. The sun had just risen and the outside world was still unclear.
Jin Jian asked, “What is this place?”
Lu Yi shook her head. “It should be the territory of the Icy Plains Clan. However, it’s very far away and there aren’t even any inn. You don’t even know the people here.”
“Do you need a lot of people to know me?”
Lu Yi went over to help Jin Jian up. “Is it alright if you sit up?”
Jin Jian said, “I’ve been fine for a long time now. It’s just that I didn’t have the heart to call you when you were sleeping soundly.”
Lu Yi smiled, her face slightly flushed, but she didn’t say anything.
Jin Jian said, “How did we come out of the extreme cold?”
Lu Yi explained how Dao Ren appeared, how she healed Jin Jian, and how she helped Jin Jian retrieve the fire wine from the Blood race, and how she carried herself and Jin Jian out from the extreme cold. She then said, “You gave me the golden core to save my life, even though you know you have the symptoms of a blood cold, you called me, you told me …”
Jin Jian smiled and said, “That’s nothing. It’s a matter of priority!”
Lu Yi said, “If we hadn’t met Dao Qing, the two of us might have died from the extreme cold.”
Jin nodded and said, “Yes, where is he?”
Lu Yi said, “He … he said that he had deep troubles on himself, so he had to hide his tracks. However, he won’t return to the extreme cold and seclusion. Before he left, he told me not to let anyone else know about what happened to him.”
Jin Jian said, “Did he tell you who he is?”
Lu Yi shook her head. “No. He rarely talks about himself, but you can ask your master. He said he and your master are good friends.”
“Oh yeah, speaking of my master, we came out with a mission, I didn’t expect it to be so long.”
Lu Yi said, “That’s right. Who knows where that dead Young Master Ying Kong has run off to. for him to encounter a tsunami, we were swept up in the cold, and have suffered so much! ”
Jin Jian said, “That’s right. Let’s quickly bid farewell to the owner of the house and leave this place. We’ll find this Young Master Ying Kong and teach him a good lesson.”
Lu Yi said, “Sure …” His heart suddenly sank. “But …”
Jin Jian asked, “What’s the matter?”
Lu Yi said, “If you’re going, then go. Why do you have to bid farewell to the owner of the house!”
Jin Jian said, “Of course we have to say our goodbyes. They kindly let us stay. When we are leaving, of course we have to inform them.”
Lu Yi nodded her head and said, “En, then, then you can wait here for now. I will bid farewell to them.”
Jin Jian questioned, “Isn’t it better to go together?”
No no no, the owner of this house is two old women. They might be sleeping at this time of day, so it won’t be convenient for you to go in.” Hee hee, hee hee hee, hee hee hee!
Jin Jian nodded and said, “That’s a problem, but why are you chuckling?”
Lu Yi said, “I’m happy, I’m happy, hehehe!”
Lu Yi chuckled as she circled around Jin Jian and walked out.
Jin Jian scratched his head. He felt that Lu Yi’s laughter was inexplicable. Just as he was astonished, he heard Lu Yi’s surprised exclamation from the main room.
Jin Jian suddenly felt that something was wrong and hurriedly jumped out.
