My Way

Chapter 10: Very Limited Help

"Hey!"

"Little ghost, did you see anyone just now!?"

After kicking open the rotten door of the dilapidated temple, the man stood at the door and carefully looked around the interior of the temple, but he only saw a pile of duck bones, a dim bonfire that seemed to be about to go out, and a little beggar lying quietly, probably sleeping.

I thought it would be better to ask.

He shouted somewhat carelessly:
"If you see it, I'll give you a lot of money right now!"

In response to his question, Ling Wuyuan just raised his upper body from the ground with a puzzled look on his face:

"what?"

There was just a hint of confusion on his face.

He looked confused, as if he had just fallen asleep and was woken up by someone, and he didn't understand the other person's question at all.

Although the question was not answered directly.

But the words "I know nothing" were written all over his face.

It can be said that silence is better than sound.

See this situation.

The man, who didn't want to communicate with the beggar, immediately showed disgust and impatience on his face.

He understood that it was obviously unreliable to rely on Ling Wuyuan.

He immediately turned around and left without looking back.

There was absolutely no intention of continuing to pay attention to Ling Wuyuan.

In this way, relying on his superb acting skills, Ling Wuyuan was able to get away with it smoothly.

Another hour or so passed.

There was no sound from outside, only the fire in the distance was still bright.

Ling Wuyuan realized that the Pei family was probably finished.

After he closed the shabby door of the dilapidated temple.

At this time, the little girl also crawled out of the dry well in a rather embarrassed manner.

Looking at the other person squatting beside the campfire with a dazed look in his eyes, he didn't know what to say.

Let people be more open-minded?
Uh... isn't that pure nonsense...

After something like this just happened, who could let it go so quickly?

Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back, right?
However, after thinking about it.

He felt that business was more important.

With a serious expression, he said to the other party:
"Next, you'd better find a way to escape from the city as soon as possible."

"Although this city is big enough to hide one or two people, your family has lost power after all. Continuing to hide in this city is really a bad idea. The longer you delay, the more dangerous it will be for you."

After a second of silence.

The little girl suppressed her sadness and answered:
"I know."

"I'll be leaving in a moment."

She understood that Ling Wuyuan had been willing to help her once before, which was actually the most he could do.

after all.

If you get caught, you'll die.

Furthermore.

She also understood that Ling Wuyuan himself was in such a miserable state, and even if he wanted to help her, he was unable to do so.

I really don't have that ability.

Hear the words.

Ling Wuyuan nodded slowly and then asked, "Do you have a plan to escape from the city?"

"...Yes, before the master asked me to evacuate, he actually told me the location of a secret passage in the city. Through that secret passage, I can escape directly from the city."

Although I didn't want to answer too much in detail at first, I thought that Ling Wuyuan was at least an ally.

The little girl also briefly told her plan.

When Ling Wuyuan heard that there was a secret passage in the city that could lead directly out of the city, he was a little surprised, but not too shocked. He just silently sighed in his heart that the Pei family was worthy of being a large local family that had stood for hundreds of years or even longer. It was the real local tyrant of Black Stone City and had all kinds of backup plans.

I think the ancestors of the Pei family should have anticipated this situation a long time ago.

For a moment, Ling Wuyuan also thought of more things.

For example, those Pei family members who exist in other areas.

Although the mastermind behind this action can wipe out most of the main forces of the Pei family, but for the Pei family, whose direct population is in the tens of thousands and whose clansmen are distributed in different areas, the current situation can only be regarded as a serious damage to the foundation, and it cannot be called the annihilation of the family.

Perhaps, after escaping from the city, the little girl will find a way to reunite with the remaining family members...

After thinking about it carefully for a while, Ling Wuyuan turned around and went to a place in the backyard.

Under the somewhat puzzled gaze of the little girl, he dug the soil and soon dug out a small box from the ground.

There wasn't much in the box, just a pitiful amount of money and some daily necessities.

From it, Ling Wuyuan took out a set of clothes and a slightly old dagger.

What can I say about that outfit...it's just ordinary.

It's very common for ordinary people.

But for Ling Wuyuan, it is still relatively precious.

I usually don't even want to wear it.

Furthermore, if a beggar is dressed too well, it is indeed a disrespect for professional ethics and it is easy to add negative buffs, resulting in less gains.

So, after picking it up, Ling Wuyuan never wore it.

As for the dagger, it was a blank piece of equipment that Ling Wuyuan picked up at a knife-fighting competition. It came from a gangster who had long since died.

However, right now, these two things are also useful...

After placing the clothes in front of the little girl, Ling Wuyuan spoke bluntly in the face of her puzzled gaze:
"Although I don't know what specific plan you have in mind, it would be better for you to change your clothes first. The clothes you are wearing now are more or less too conspicuous."

At the end, he added considerately: "Although this suit doesn't look good, it is definitely clean. I haven't worn it myself."

Hear these words.

The little girl looked at the clothes she was wearing, then looked at the clothes he handed her, and understood what he meant.

She understood that the clothes she was wearing were not really suitable for this moment.

Then she turned her head and looked at her surroundings.

Ok……

In this dilapidated temple with drafts on all sides, there is no place suitable for changing clothes.

However, after blushing slightly and biting her teeth, she decisively took the clothes.

And walked deeper into the ruined temple.

See this situation.

Ling Wuyuan chose to take a few steps forward.

Standing in front of the dilapidated temple, silently looking up at the bright moon in the sky.

It was not until the rustling sound of people changing clothes behind him completely stopped and the other party's footsteps gradually approached that he asked:
"Have you changed it?"

“…I’ve changed it.”

It was a cold but shy voice.

Obvious.

In such an environment, it was really difficult for the little girl to change her clothes in front of strange boys.

Even in emergencies.

Turning around, Ling Wuyuan carefully looked him up and down for a while, amidst his evasive gaze and blushing face. Then he took out the dagger he had used before and pointed to a place next to the campfire:

"Please sit down first. I will help you shorten your hair and put on makeup to change your look."

"it is good……"
