"So, Brother Lin, what should we do next?" asked Hunter Xin.
Lin Feng said, "Find a place to stay in this desert and don't wander around. My family is in the city. I'll go back and find the entrance to the secret passage and come pick you up. Next, we won't stay in Huangsha City for too long. We'll go directly to the Ice Wasteland through the secret passage and get away from this ominous city."
The two nodded. There was no other good solution now. They trusted Brother Lin.
A few people chatted, and then they all felt sleepy and slowly fell asleep.
The next day, as soon as the sun came out, Lin Feng called everyone together, took out enough water and food, and took them to a secluded place that was windproof and sunshade.
"Just wait here and don't run around. I will come to find you as soon as possible." After Lin Feng finished speaking, he walked towards the city gate.
Hunter Xin and Dazhuzi were puzzled. Where did Brother Lin find so much water and food? But they couldn't dwell on it. Perhaps it was someone else's secret, so they couldn't be too suspicious. Now that they had water and food, they felt a little relieved.
…
Arriving at the city gate, Lin Feng was speechless. The soldier guarding the city was the same one as last time.
"Stop, you're not allowed in." The soldier used the same old trick.
Lin Feng complained in his heart: "Damn it, why are they not allowed to enter? These people are trying to take this opportunity to blackmail us!"
Without saying a word, Lin Feng took out fifty coins from his pocket, handed it to him, and without waiting for him to speak, walked straight into the city.
The soldier weighed the money in his hand and said with a smile, "This guy knows the way around! Very good! Very good! But why does he look familiar to me?"
Never mind, making money is the most important thing. A lot of people pass through the city gate every day. He is not a god, and it is impossible for him to remember everyone so clearly.
After entering the city, Lin Feng relied on his memory to come to the wealthy area near the city wall.
After a while, he found Mr. Liu's courtyard and knocked on the door.
"Squeak!" The door opened and a head popped out. He was also surprised when he saw Lin Feng.
"You, you are still alive?" the man stammered.
Lin Feng said coldly: "What? Should I die?"
The man waved his hands quickly: "No, no, how could it be? You are so lucky. The tiger scorpion group is so powerful, but you can still escape. I am speechless. Please forgive me. Please come in. Master Liu is talking to Master Er in the hall!"
Lin Feng snorted coldly. This man was one of those who escaped last night. Lin Feng looked down on him.
Arriving at the main hall, Lin Feng pushed the door open and walked in. As soon as he entered, he saw the two brothers looking worried.
"You two are in such good spirits! You've started drinking so early in the morning?" Lin Feng said in a sarcastic tone.
The two men sat on chairs and looked at Lin Feng, just staring at him without saying a word.
"What? Is it a surprise?" Lin Feng asked with a sneer.
The two brothers quickly stood up and walked to Lin Feng. After looking him up and down for a while, Master Liu said, "Brother, are you okay?"
"Something happened and I'm in a bad mood. It's not a pleasant feeling to be betrayed." Lin Feng was unreasonable. He knew that if he didn't get angry, it would be abnormal.
Liu Meng smiled and said, "We were terrified at the time, too. We were so scared! We didn't realize you hadn't come with us. When we came back, we realized you weren't there. My brother beat those guys up. He was so angry! How could they abandon you?"
"That's right, brother. Big brother really didn't mean to abandon you." Grandpa Liu also echoed.
Lin Feng didn't want to see their hypocritical faces, so he asked, "You two, where are my family members? Are they alright?"
"Everyone is here. I'm glad you're safe and sound. Otherwise, we don't know how to explain to your family!" Grandpa Liu said after seeming to be relieved. As for what they said, Lin Feng didn't want to believe a word of it now.
Lin Feng then clasped his fists and said, "I'm afraid my family will worry, so I'll go back first. If there's anything, we can talk later."
The two nodded, and Lin Feng went to the backyard to look for his family.
"This kid is weird!"
"Yeah! We clearly saw the tiger scorpions surrounding him, yet he came back unscathed."
"Mr. Li is right. This kid must have some secret treasure, otherwise the Tiger Scorpion wouldn't appear on his call and still be safe and sound."
"We still need to consider it in the long term."
The two brothers analyzed the situation one by one, saying that it was extraordinary that Lin Feng survived the group of tiger scorpions.
…
"Son! Where have you been all night?" When Lin's mother saw Lin Feng entering the yard, she went up and hit him on the arm.
Seeing that his family members were all there, Lin Feng smiled and said, "We went to the desert last night with the Liu brothers. We were delayed by something, so we stayed in the desert for one night."
Lin Feng didn't want to tell his family about those bad things and make them worry for no reason.
"Have you caught the tiger scorpion?" asked Lin's father.
Lin Feng nodded, then hugged Yang Jingyi's shoulders. She was very worried. She had thought a lot last night and hadn't slept all night. Her eyes were still red!
"Did you catch him?" Lin's father asked.
Lin Feng shook his head and said, "No, but do you know who I met in the desert?"
The family looked at him. Why was he still keeping it a secret at this point? He really deserved a beating.
Lin Feng chuckled, "It was Hunter Xin and Dazhuzi. They were the two who came to help me when I was bitten by the Red Wolf King. Do you remember them?"
Father Lin and Mother Lin looked at each other and nodded repeatedly. How could they not remember? The other person had helped their family wholeheartedly.
"Of course I remember. Why are they outside the city? Aren't they working in the Huolin Stone Mine?" asked Lin's father.
"This is what happened..." Then, Lin Feng told the whole story.
Lin Feng's family sighed after hearing this. These people were so unlucky, but in this damned world, they were not the only ones who were unlucky.
"I left food and water for them. We will take them with us when we leave," said Lin Feng.
Lin's father and mother agreed that since the other person was wholeheartedly devoted to their family, their family could not just stand by and watch them die.
"But, taking them with us means that we can no longer enjoy the protection and gifts of our ancestors without restraint. I feel a little conflicted." Lin Feng expressed his concerns.
Father Lin shook his head and said, "Son, although our family can live well, we can't be too selfish. What did others help us for in the past? We were extremely poor back then. Even the people in our village ignored us and left us to fend for ourselves. We just had to endure a few days of hardship. You still have a long way to go. Remember what your father said: you must never forget your roots and never have selfish thoughts."
