Chapter 2: Midnight Murderous Humming (Part 2)
It's been half a month since he arrived here, and Yi Feng, who has no interest in developing the begging business, goes to the moat to catch fish for food at least five days out of seven, otherwise he will go hungry.
Seikyou is the imperial capital, and since the empire has been prosperous for countless years, there have been no wars outside Seikyou City for hundreds of years. As a result, the moat around the city has not been dredged for a long time, and the water level appears to be very low.
However, there are quite a few fish in the moat water, they swim with their backs exposed and catch them easily.
In the past, he could catch two unknown fish in less than half a time, but today Yifeng seemed to be very unlucky. By the time it was dark, he had only caught one small fish that was three and a half inches long.
"Ah..."
Yi Feng was holding a sharpened wooden stick, intently staring at the river surface, when he heard the sound of the city gate closing.
The city gate was just behind him, and Yi Feng hastily threw away the wooden stick and ran over. At this time, the city gate had not yet fully closed, and he shouted loudly as he ran: "General, wait, General, wait..."
"Haha... stinky beggar, go die!"
"Beware of being taken away by the big bad wolf at night!"
…………
On the city wall, the soldiers' curses were heard. When Yifeng ran to the gate, it was already tightly closed.
"Sunzi, open the door for your grandfather!" Yifeng was at the foot of the city wall, stomping his feet in anger and cursing loudly.
"Stinky beggar, who do you think you are? Go die somewhere far away, just don't die at the city gate, or else tomorrow the masters will have to collect your corpse! Spit!" The curses came from atop the city wall.
"Damn you! I'll kill all of you sooner or later!" Yifeng cursed again, pointing at the sky.
A bitter winter is approaching, the cold wind is howling. If you stay outside the city for a night, it's possible that the next day you'll become a corpse in the wilderness and a meal in the belly of a ferocious wolf.
He himself was starving, yet he had to feed the wolf. Yi Feng felt both angry and worried in his heart. His clothes were so thin, and he had no strength to bind a chicken. This night would be so bleak.
Helpless, Yifeng could only leave the city gate in a huff. He walked along the official road in front of the city gate and five miles away, there was a Beimingsi Temple that had been uninhabited for many years. Although it was very simple, it could also withstand the wind and cold.
Clutching the fish with a wound that was still bleeding, Yi Feng, although his body was empty, continued to run wildly. In his ears, there were not only the howling of cold wind but also the distant long howls of ferocious wolves. He had to hurry to Bei Ming Temple as soon as possible.
When he was running, the small silver sword in front of his chest that brought him to this world also swayed with his movements. In the dark night, the faint light emitted by the small sword gave him a sense of security.
Yi Feng would comfort himself when he was in a bad mood: "This little sword brought me here, it definitely won't let me decline forever, I'll definitely have my own day of prosperity and success..."
It was precisely because of this self-consoling method that he persisted for so many days. Fortunately, he had no parents or relatives in his past life, and when he crossed over to this world, he had no attachments. The only regret was that he could no longer steal the vegetables that others had painstakingly cultivated, and the joy of secretly stealing vegetables would be forever buried in his memories.
*gulp*
Having traveled halfway, in the front, it was unknown how far away, suddenly a thunderous explosion echoed across the fields. Yi Feng raised his head, and at the horizon, another dazzling flash of light appeared, like lightning, he thought to himself: "This place is really different, it's almost winter and there's still thunder."
The closer to the Temple of Wailing, the clearer the sound was, and even the wind became stronger. But the more it was so, the more Yi Feng felt that the weather was going to change, out of fear of the cold, he simply didn't care about those thunderclaps and strong winds, and rushed towards the direction of the Temple of Wailing with a blank face.
