Chapter 27 - Village Heroes
After completely confirming that the wolves had escaped, Ling Yun squatted down and slowly collected things from the wolf corpse.
Wolf skin, wolf teeth, and other things are still of value to Ling Yun.
Although it cannot be used to exchange for spirit stones, he is not short of things like spirit stones now.
It is also acceptable to exchange these things for copper, gold and silver.
The wolf corpse on the snow was still a little body temperature. Ling Yun finished stabbing and then plundered the wolf corpse after stabbing it to death. It was not because he was pitiful or kind, but just in case.
If a hungry wolf pretends to be dead and then takes the opportunity to attack, it will be difficult to deal with.
"In this world, everyone, all living things are trying to survive, trying to prove their own value. Life and death may be important to me, but it is really wonderful for some people who are very important to see things outside of themselves."
"Fortunately this is still a small wolf pack. If it were a large wolf pack, I might be the one lying on the ground now." Ling Yun kept recalling his actions during the fight, and felt more and more that as long as the number was enough, it would be the greatest threat to his life.
The more experienced the hunter is, the less likely he will fight against beasts under unfavorable conditions. Because they can recognize their shortcomings and shortcomings, and recognize where the gap in their strength lies in the enemy and me.
"I'm too slow now and have no special means of reconnaissance, which will make me feel very uncomfortable."
If he had special means of reconnaissance this time, he could avoid it from afar or ambush the wolves in advance to achieve the point of reducing losses.
"If there is no corresponding means, it feels as uncomfortable as being stuck in your throat. Where can there be detective means?"
Ling Yun kept thinking about the next step of his behavior, calculating who would have the means of investigating.
After a while, all the spoils were collected by him, put them in a bag, and carried them on his back.
The wolf corpse naturally stayed in place, waiting to be covered by wind and snow, and Ling Yun did not have the energy to take the wolf corpse away.
When they returned to the village, they recognized Ling Yun at first sight.
"Wow, that's Lingyun, the legendary cultivator, I want to become a cultivator too."
"Really, it's Lingyun."
"Look, he was carrying a bag on his back, and blood was still dripping. Did he go out to hunt hungry wolves?"
"It's him, it must be him. He is actually willing to hunt hungry wolves for us."
"It may not be true, maybe it's just a coincidence. If I were a cultivator, I would have done better than him."
Lingyun walked into the village. Although there were few pedestrians on the road, they went out when they heard the noise. Looking at such a scene, some people admired, some envied, and some were jealous.
"Lingyun..."
Ji Wuming didn't know when he appeared in the distance and shouted Ling Yun.
"What's the matter?" Ling Yun looked at the village chief in front of him.
In this winter, Ling Yun was wearing a fur coat, a fur hat on his head, and an unknown fur glove, and Ling Yun was just one or two single clothes.
Ji Wuming looked at this young man, watched him grow up, watched him become a cultivator, watched him become a hero, and now he is also watching him keep getting stronger.
"Do you know what happened to the wolf pack recently? The wolf pack has begun to gather in large quantities." Ji Wuming's eyes were a little complicated.
"I know." Ling Yun nodded.
"This time the court sent a message to us to hide on our own. The court will send elite troops to attack the wolf's nest. I have submitted requests to the court to apply for the transfer of the village many times, but the court has not responded."
"I think we can no longer rely on the court, we have to rely on ourselves. You are the only cultivator in our village and the only trustworthy person in our village. I hope you can minimize going out during this period to avoid any accidents."
Ling Yun looked at him and immediately understood the village chief's meaning. He wanted to become the so-called village thug and be a scapegoat in the name of righteousness.
If they accidentally fall down in front of the wolf pack, they may end up fighting in the back, so that the will of the whole village will truly rise up. If they really block the wolf pack, they will give greetings at most, which is a thankless thing.
Seeing Ling Yun not speaking, Ji Wuming continued, "I understand that this will damage your reputation, so this is our spirit stone for you. I hope you accept it."
He handed a bag of spirit stones to Ling Yun, and Ling Yun weighed it for more than twenty pieces.
"So my reputation is only worth twenty spirit stones?" Ling Yun smiled.
"This is our intention, I hope you accept it, and whether you die or not has nothing to do with us." Ji Wuming frowned, and he was very dissatisfied with Ling Yun's attitude.
He has all his property back, shouldn't he be grateful to him?
"They need my existence now, just because of my previous heroic deeds, as an inspiring existence." Ling Yun said in his heart.
The so-called reputation is not important to Ling Yun, but the spirit stones that are given for free must be given. Moreover, reputation is just a big cake, full of lies and traps. I don’t know how many people have been trapped throughout the ages.
Heavy snow is still falling, covering the mountains and plains.
Ling Yun took the spirit stone bag and promised not to go out during this period.
"It's ridiculous that these people fight by relying on the existence of others. The so-called efforts require other people's sense of identity and presence. In the end, they are working hard for others."
Lingyun smiled softly and sang, "Snow rolled with autumn flowers falling into soil, wind dyed with frost, and cold winter. Why should people not be able to recognize it? Winter is rolled around the west mountain."
He took steps, as if his steps had become lighter.
There were hurried people along the way, but he became more and more clear.
No matter what kind of villager, snow or village it is, it is just a foil for him to walk alone.
Not long after, he returned to his rental house.
Since he had sold all his previous property, he could only live in a rented house. Although the environment was simple, Ling Yun had no other requirements. He just needed to have a place to stay in the village.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Ling Yun began to practice.
Although he also understands that his qualifications are very poor, unless he practices the magic skills of the previous life, doesn’t the practitioner just go against the will of heaven? If he gives up when encountering a little setback, then he is a practitioner.
In the evening, an unexpected visit was visited by someone.
"Brother, are you here?" The little girl stood at the door in a blue dress, trembling.
When Ling Yun opened the door, he saw that it was this little girl. Oh, it turned out to be her. Ling Yun finally barely remembered that it was the little girl he accidentally bumped into when he returned to the village that day. Unexpectedly, he took the initiative to come to find him.
"Ah, it's you. Is there anything wrong?" Ling Yun tried hard to smile and asked as kindly as possible.
He noticed that it seemed that the little girl's parents were hiding in the corner to watch.
"No, brother, let me give it to you. This winter is a bit cold, so I will specially bring you a single-clothed person." The little girl mustered up the courage and handed the single-clothed person to Ling Yun.
Ling Yun took it with one hand and touched the little girl's head with the other.
"The little sister is so good, my brother accepted it. I don't know what the little sister's name is." Ling Yun asked with a smile.
"Mom said that the girl's name cannot be known casually, but the eldest brother is an exception. My name is Xia Ye." The little girl raised her head slightly as if she had been a kitten.
"Then, brother, thank Xia Ye, please go back early." Ling Yun responded with a smile.
"Goodbye, big brother."
"Well, goodbye, be careful on the road."
Ling Yun closed the door and hurried to the window. He saw a person with a figure similar to Ji Wuming watching not far away.
"Hehe, but that's the case. Do you want to use family affection to influence me?" Ling Yun sneered.
Perhaps judging from the current situation, the entire wave will last for a whole winter. If something happens and someone needs to fill his life, I hope I will stand up as a hero.
It’s not that Ling Yun speculated on others with a harmful heart, but that’s how things were.
