C736 I Killed Him Again
"Why are you hiding in the cave alone? Are you the only robber?"
It was strange. How could robbers only send a 15-16 year old teenager to rob goods? Unless they wanted Hu to die.
"Not just one, but a dozen of them. Our leader is an Early Period of Immortal Soul warrior, but who would have thought that he would be burned to death by the red flames?" When the red flames were mentioned, Hu's face was filled with fear.
Ye Bufan was stunned for a moment, then he said in a daze, "Where were they hiding? Why didn't I see them?"
"We were hiding in the mud cave together at that time. I vaguely heard you arguing with an old man. Before we could understand what was going on, the tree stump that covered the cave entrance suddenly sank. An unlucky brother's neck was broken by a huge force. "
This...
He was smashed to death again. Ye Bufan smiled bitterly in his heart. At that time, the whip in Uncle Soong's hand had wrapped itself around Ye Bufan's body and sent him flying away. When he landed on the tree stump, he remembered that he vaguely heard a cracking sound. Ye Bufan thought that the sound of the tree stump breaking had crushed a person to death.
"Chief was just about to call us out when a red flame suddenly burned over. Chief ran out, and the rest of the people were burnt to ashes."
Ye Bufan looked at Hu strangely and asked curiously, "How did you escape this disaster?"
"I am small, and I am hiding in the innermost part. The red flame suddenly extinguished when it was about to reach me. Otherwise, I would have turned into an inconspicuous pile of ashes. " Hu said with a frightened expression. From his expression, one could imagine how frightening the scene was at that time.
This good luck was simply heaven defying. Ye Bufan thought about his recent experience and felt bitter in his heart. His luck was extremely bad.
The lazy sun slowly arrived. The fiery red light shone on the ground without any reservation. Dispersing the cold air left behind by the dark night, the city gates of Emperor City finally opened on time at this moment. Ye Bufan and Hu stood up and walked into Emperor City.
There were a total of 16 people standing in two rows at the city gates. They were wearing shiny silver armor, and their weapons were black spears. All of them were at the Middle Period of Immortal Spirit.
Ye Bufan secretly sighed. The Spirit Stage was really nothing in the Emperor City. Even the guards were at the Middle Period of Immortal Spirit. He was afraid that only by breaking through to the Immortal Soul could they have a place in Emperor City. However, in order to become a great figure, perhaps only by breaking through to the Immortal Physique realm would he have the qualifications to do so.
"Brother-in-law, let's go in." Hu took the lead and passed through the city gate. Ye Bufan let out a bitter laugh. He was not used to being called brother-in-law, but Hu was a stubborn man. Even if he tried his best to explain, it would not work.
He might as well just pretend he didn't hear anything.
The two of them arrived at the streets of Emperor City. Ye Bufan's greedy eyes looked at the bustling streets. Although he had only been away for less than three days, Ye Bufan still felt a little reluctant to leave the lively Emperor City. He really wanted to join the life here.
"Finally, I'm back. This time, I almost died outside. The most miserable thing was that I didn't lose a single cent. In the future, I won't dare to rob anymore."
Hu muttered. Ye Bufan smiled. Hu was still a child who hadn't grown up. He suddenly carried the heavy burden of the family, and inevitably, he was at a loss. He had no choice but to choose to be a robber. It was not too late to think it through now.
On the west side of Emperor City!
Different people lived in four directions of Emperor City. To the west was the Commoner District. On the north side was the gathering place of martial artists. On the east side, there was a rich man living there. The south was where the City Lord's Mansion was located. Of course, other than the City Lord's Mansion, this was the division of powers in the Emperor City.
The conditions in different regions were as different as the sky and the earth, especially in the civilian area. The environment was extremely harsh, and it didn't even feel comfortable living in the wild. However, this place was filled with people, taking up almost half of the total population of the Emperor City.
The main reason was that the people outside were all squeezing their way into Emperor City. Although the living conditions in the civilian area were not as good, no one was willing to move out.
"Hu, where is your home?" Ye Bufan pinched his nose and said with a frown. The conditions here were terrible to the extreme. Moreover, he could smell the stench from time to time. The pungent smell made him feel nauseous.
"Soon, we'll be there soon."
After a while, the houses in front of them gradually became scarce. Of course, the environment was worse. There were piles of stinky garbage everywhere.
In the depths of the garbage heap, an old house entered Ye Bufan's sight. Looking at the excitement on Hu's face, Ye Bufan found it hard to accept. Could this house be Hu's home?
He could sleep here, but could he eat?
"Hu, is this your home?"
"Yes, it has been a long time. It makes me feel comfortable all over."
Despite living in such a place, he still had the mood to sigh. Ye Bufan couldn't help but admire Hu. It was hard to understand how this young man, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, was able to adapt to such a harsh environment.
When he opened the door, a moldy smell hit his face. This smell was even more pungent and unpleasant than the smell from the garbage heap outside. Ye Bufan frowned. To be honest, even someone like him who was used to arduous cultivation couldn't bear such harsh conditions. He really did not know how Hu and his sister managed to persist.
Looking from the outside, the house looked as if it had been abandoned for over a hundred years. The stone wall had been severely corroded. The thick wall had fallen off, leaving only a thin layer. Some places could even vaguely see the interior of the house. However, Ye Bufan was shocked when he entered the house.
There was not even a table in the room. There was only a small bed leaning against the wall. Not to mention two people sleeping in such a small bed, even one person would feel that it was extremely crowded. This condition was too poor.
Ye Bufan shook his head, feeling very sympathetic towards Hu and Hu. It was really not easy to live in such a harsh environment for more than ten years.
"I'm sorry, brother-in-law. Our family is in a difficult situation. You just stand there." Ye Bufan shook his head and said softly, "It's fine. I'm not the only one standing."
To be honest, after walking for the whole night, he was physically and mentally exhausted. Ye Bufan also wanted to find a chair or bed to have a good rest, but after entering Hu's home, Ye Bufan had completely given up. There was nothing. Could it be that he wanted to sit on the ground and rest?
"Hu, where's your sister?" After standing for a while, Ye Bufan felt very uncomfortable. He suddenly remembered that Hu had another sister and asked subconsciously.
Hu smiled strangely. "What's wrong, brother-in-law? Do you miss my sister?"
Ye Bufan shook his head with a bitter smile. He had been controlled by Hu all the time. Every time he talked about his brother-in-law, Ye Bufan would keep silent. It was not that he did not want to say it, but he really did not know what to say.
Hu had a stubborn temper in his bones. He would not turn back when he had decided on something. Otherwise, why would he want to be a robber at such a young age? Bandits were all ferocious and ferocious people. He could not do anything without courage.
Anyway, he wouldn't be able to stay in Hu's family for long. There was no point in arguing about his brother-in-law at this time.
"My sister went to Aunt Liu's house to work. She should be back in the afternoon."
"By the way, brother-in-law, you should be hungry. Why don't I go to the street to get something to eat?" Hu asked for Ye Bufan's opinion.
Ye Bufan's face looked bitter. If he ate here, he would not have the appetite to eat even if he brought some delicacies. Because the smell here was too unpleasant, unless he was used to the environment like Hu. Otherwise, no matter how good the food was, it would be hard to swallow it.
"Let's go to the street to eat."
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Finally, Ye Bufan could not smell the pungent smell anymore. He suddenly felt much more relaxed. He greedily took a few deep breaths and looked at the civilian district behind him with lingering fear. This was not a place that ordinary people could stay.
Although it was almost time for lunch, the streets were still very lively. People and cars were coming and going, and the noisy noises were showing a prosperous scene.
Ye Bufan and Hu randomly found a restaurant with good conditions. When they walked in, the waiter greeted them with a smile. Ye Bufan did not have a good impression of the waiter because of his experience in the restaurant last time.
"Please come in!"
The two of them went to the second floor and found a seat by the window. Hu curiously looked at the surrounding customers who were eating and drinking. It seemed that this was the first time he had eaten in a restaurant.
Ye Bufan smiled and shook his head. He gently said, "Hu, what do you want to eat? Order whatever you want. I will treat you today."
"Thank you, brother-in-law." Hu stood up happily. The waiter had been waiting by the side. His sharp eyes were the first to walk over. He smiled humbly and said, "This young master, what do you want to eat?"
"That..." Hu was too excited. For a moment, he stuttered and did not know what to say. He was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks. Finally, he struggled to say a few words.
"Bring all the specialties of your restaurant."
Domineering! Ye Bufan raised his thumb and looked at Hu with a smile.
Hu seemed to feel embarrassed and hurriedly sat down with a shy smile on his face.
Although he didn't know if the dishes in the small restaurant were delicious, the speed at which the dishes were served was definitely first-rate. Very quickly, a table full of dishes was served. The fragrance assailed his nose and made him salivate.
Hu rubbed his hands anxiously and almost drooled.
"You must be hungry. Hurry up and eat." Ye Bufan said with a smile. Hu was a poor child. He had lived in such a harsh civilian area for more than ten years and had suffered a lot. He was afraid that he had not even eaten a full meal.
When he had just stepped into the world of cultivation, Ye Bufan, who was alone, had a tough life. But at least he did not have to worry about food and drink. He did not live in a garbage heap.
The world was not equal, whether it was in the original world. There was an unequal gap between people. Hu and his sister were so poor that even eating became a big problem, while some people could live a life of squandering without restraint. This was the unfairness of fate.
