The young man rescued by Lin Rui finally showed his ability this time. He took Lin Rui and the little girl through the streets and alleys and finally got rid of the two people who were following them.
When the little girl couldn't run anymore, Lin Rui simply carried her on his back. The little girl was naked at this time, and she didn't have time to care about the difference between men and women. She just wanted to escape from this place quickly.
"Master Lin, let me do it!" Of course, the young general would not let Master Lin do such physical work.
Lin Rui shook his head: "You lead the way. You've been through a lot recently. I'll carry it. It's not a big burden."
The meat market is full of low thatched houses and damp, gloomy alleys. There are no sewers in Yishu Pass, so along the way you can see not only human leg bones and finger bones, but also human excrement.
Lin Rui accidentally stepped on a lump. It was hard on the outside and soft on the inside. Then a foul and suffocating smell came from it. He almost vomited.
Walking through these alleys is like clearing mines; you can easily step on something if you’re not careful.
Fortunately, the young player and Lin Rui walked very cautiously after suffering a loss. Although they slowed down, the rate of stepping on landmines was much lower.
"Lord Lin, what should we do now?" asked the young general as he came out of the alley.
That’s a good question. He also wants to know, who would want to be trapped in this shabby place?
Seeing the young general in rags and the little girl naked, he said, "Let's go to the clothing store and buy you some clothes first."
Walking in the meat market like this would make him very conspicuous. Is he afraid that those who are targeting him will not be able to find him?
But even when I went to the clothing store to buy clothes, I felt uneasy. From the moment I entered the store, I was constantly peeped at by people inside, and some people even sneaked out and ran away.
Lin Rui was almost stressed out during this period. Any large movement from others would make him alert. Facts proved that this reaction really saved their lives.
After changing clothes at the clothing store, he was about to leave with the little girl and the young general in his arms.
Finally, the owner of the clothing store came up to me with a smile and said, "Sir, don't leave in a hurry. I have a new batch of snowflake satin here. It is perfect for outerwear or inner wear..."
Lin Rui didn't stop: "No need."
The young general also stopped the approaching proprietress: "What are you doing? Just talk, why are you getting so close?"
The proprietress smiled awkwardly: "Look at what this guy said, could it be possible that I would eat him?"
Lin Rui didn't want to get entangled with these people anymore, so he shouted to the young general, "Let's go!"
The proprietress smiled grimly at this moment: "You want to leave? I'm afraid you can't..."
Before she could finish her words, she was kicked far away by the young general. She cried out in pain: "Ouch!"
Lin Rui immediately ran away with the little girl and the young general in his arms. After leaving the clothing store, he was stared at by many people again: "Hurry! They're coming out!"
Lin Rui didn't know how in just one day, everyone in the meat market started treating him like a fat sheep.
The story started when he took out the glass cup from the meat stall. The people sent by the fat shopkeeper noticed something and after losing Lin Rui, they quickly returned to the inn and told the fat shopkeeper about it.
The fat shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he heard this. He didn't feel bad about Lin Rui giving away the glass cup. After all, it was his own territory. Even if the butcher was unwilling, he had to give it to him if he wanted it.
What really excited him was that Lin Rui seemed to have a lot of treasures. As expected, he guessed correctly. The mirror he gave him was just the most inconspicuous little item on Lin Rui. Didn't he see that he casually gave the priceless glass cup to the butcher in exchange for vegetables and silver?
The fat shopkeeper was considered the local boss of the meat market. With his order, everyone in the meat market took action and joined the team to capture Lin Rui and others.
After wandering around for a while, Lin Rui and the other two finally arrived at the outermost part of the meat market. Compared to the bustling city, this place seemed sparsely populated, but there were bacon hanging at the doors of every household.
He couldn't even look at meat now. What kind of meat could appear in the meat market?
Not everyone can afford pork, chicken, beef and mutton, which are considered luxuries in Yishuguan.
The only thing that is easy to obtain is vegetable people, which are cheap and of good quality... The people in Yishuguan have trouble even filling their stomachs, so how can they care about taste?
The meat market is a town made up of low thatched houses, and the two-story building of the fat shopkeeper at the top of the town is the most imposing place. Now that they have run to the outskirts, they are temporarily out of danger.
But apart from that, all you can see on the periphery is a desert. There is no human habitation within a thousand miles. The meat market seems like an oasis that appeared out of nowhere here.
Just when Lin Rui was feeling desperate, the young general beside him suddenly had his eyes lit up and said in an excited voice: "I know!"
Lin Rui said weakly: "Know what? The way back to Huangmo Pass?"
The young general nodded happily and excitedly: "Yes, yes, I came over from the cliff mountain in front. Behind that mountain is the junction of Huangmo Pass and Yishu Pass. Lord Lin, the major general's men will come to meet us at the junction."
"How long will it take?" He was now frightened by the word "hurry", and seemed to have returned to the fear that dominated him at the beginning when he was fleeing from famine.
"Not long." The young general said, and before Lin Rui could be happy, he added: "It will take at most six days."
Lin Rui was silent...Why did this young general have such an absurd feeling of "why not eat meat porridge?" They came out in a hurry and had no preparation. It was fine for him, but the little girl and the young general couldn't just eat the dew.
They didn't prepare any dry food, and people could only survive for seven days at most without food or water.
Besides, they have to expend physical energy to travel!
The young general immediately saw Lin Rui's concerns and quickly patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Lord Lin. I came from Cliff Mountain. Although it's a bit barren, it's definitely enough to fill my stomach."
In this case, there is no reason for Lin Rui not to set off.
Two adults and one child escaped from the meat market and started heading towards the Cliff Mountain.
The fat shopkeeper's men searched the meat market but couldn't find any trace of Lin Rui and the others. When they finally returned to the inn and reported to the fat shopkeeper tremblingly, the leader was hit on the head with a teacup by the fat shopkeeper and bled.
"You're useless! You can't even catch a few people in our territory!"
The fat shopkeeper was also regretting his greed at this time. He tied up Lin Rui and tortured him severely in advance, not fearing that he would not hand over the treasure, and then sent him to Yishu City to exchange it for money.
Now, I have obtained two treasures, and the most valuable one, Lord Lin Ruilin, has already escaped. Otherwise, with such merits, I could at least get a high position in Yishu City.
Oops, what a mistake!
The fat shopkeeper was extremely angry and could only vent his anger on his subordinates. At this time, Lin Rui, whom he cared about the most, had already strode towards the Cliff Mountain with the young general.
