C110 Elegance
Just as he walked a few steps, a girl about five or six years old rushed out from an alley nearby.
The little girl was wearing a set of clothes that were obviously not suitable for her. The clothes were very worn and dirty, with countless patches on them.
The little girl's face was also dirty except for her bright eyes.
She held a dilapidated porcelain bowl and rushed in front of Lin Long, then said pitifully, "Uncle, can you reward me with a copper coin?"
Lin Long looked around and realized that there were no other people around. Furthermore, the little girl's eyes were clear, and it looked like he was not being used to scam people for money. Therefore, Lin Long took out a silver ingot and placed it inside the little girl's broken bowl.
Although the reincarnated Lin Long was arrogant, he had a kind side.
Seeing the silver ingot, the little girl's eyes immediately lit up. However, she timidly said, "Uncle, just give me the copper coin."
It was obvious that to her, Lin Long's ingot was too "heavy" and she did not dare to take it.
"Mn." Lin Long frowned, and then said in a serious tone, "I'll give it to you."
Lin Long understood that if he was not so fierce, she would not even dare to accept this kind of silver, which was difficult for her to imagine, from this kind of girl.
"Thank you, uncle." Lin Long's appearance caused the little girl to be afraid, and only after a long while did she reply like that.
"Right." After giving a light answer, Lin Long continued to walk toward the tavern in front of him.
Unexpectedly, the sound of the little girl's footsteps could be heard from behind.
When he turned around to look, he saw that the little girl was right behind him. Although her little face was filled with fear and worry, there was an indescribable sense of anticipation.
"What? Is there something else?" Lin Long frowned.
Although he was kind, it did not mean that he was kind enough to find those who suffered and save them from the abyss of life.
After all, in this world, there were too many people like this. Even if he, Lin Long had three heads and six arms, he still wouldn't be able to do this.
"Uncle, I …" The little girl wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Go ahead."
"Uncle, my mother is very sick, can you save her?" The little girl looked at Lin Long and said with anticipation.
"If you're too sick, go find a doctor." Lin Long said. To be honest, his top-grade healing medicine could cure a serious illness, but he wouldn't take out a top-grade healing medicine for a little girl he had just met.
Although this medicine was not very precious to him, he would not easily give it to others. After all, if he were to sell it, he did not know how much silver he could sell it for.
If they knew of its healing effect, the warriors in this town would definitely break their scalps to fight for it.
"The doctor has seen it, but …"
After sighing, he said to Lin Long, "Little brother, Xiao Ya does indeed have a seriously ill mother, it's just that she cannot be cured by the best doctor, but Xiao Ya does not give up. Every time she meets a friendly stranger, she would plead with them, so, don't be offended."
"Oh." Lin Long nodded slightly, as if he understood.
"Hai." With another sigh, the man shook his head and left.
It was obvious that he did not have enough strength in his heart for Xiao Ya to have met with such a mishap.
Their conversation seemed to make the little girl feel that it was useless, thus, disappointment filled her little face. Then, she whispered to Lin Long, "Uncle, sorry for disturbing you."
But what she didn't expect was that Lin Long's next words would be, "Little girl, take me to see your mother."
"Really?" The little girl immediately became happy.1
From her point of view, Lin Long agreeing to it seemed to mean that he could save her mother.
"Yes, of course." Lin Long gently smiled.
For some reason, he saw the shadow of a little butterfly on this little girl, so he was naturally moved.
After following the little girl around the town for a while, they arrived at a shabby thatched cottage.
From afar, Lin Long heard the sound of a woman coughing coming from inside the thatched hut.
After following the little girl inside, Lin Long found that there was a young lady with a pale face lying on a bed inside.
This woman looked pretty delicate and pretty. Not only did she not look like an ordinary peasant woman, but she also looked like a bookworm. This made Lin Long a little surprised.
"Mother, Xiao Ya is back." Xiao Ya obediently called out.
"Xiao Ya, who is this uncle?" Seeing Lin Long, the young lady was very surprised.
At the same time, he struggled to sit up.
"This is Xiao Ya's uncle that had come to help mother treat her illness." Xiao Ya said in a clear voice.
"Xiao Ya, how can you casually trouble others?" Hearing Xiao Ya's words, the young woman immediately reprimanded her.
After that, she quickly turned her face towards Lin Long and said, "This young master is truly sorry, our Xiao Ya is ignorant."
Furthermore, Lin Long had never met them before, so even if he had the skills of a doctor, how could he help her treat her illness?
Lin Long said with a faint smile, "This big sis, this young master has a pill here that might be able to cure your illness."
"Really?" The young woman was somewhat surprised. Knowing that she had lost control of herself, she said awkwardly, "Young Master, I've let you down. But, how can I let you …"
Before she could finish speaking, Lin Long's finger had already pointed a little at the air. After that, her whole body suddenly went numb, followed by her mouth that involuntarily opened wide.
At this time, Lin Long, who had taken out a pellet from his bosom, flicked his finger again, and the pellet directly flew into the young woman's mouth and slipped into her stomach.
"Just treat it as giving Xiao Ya face. Xiao Ya, look after your mother." After saying that, Lin Long turned and left the hut.
"Quick, thank you young master." The young woman said to the dumbstruck little girl, Xiao Ya.
Xiao Ya, who had come to her senses, hurriedly ran out of the latrine. However, she still couldn't see Lin Long's figure.
After arranging a room in the tavern, Lin Long went to the town's marketplace. This market was evidently much smaller than the Chuxi Town's, but, Lin Long did find what he was looking for.
That was the situation in and around the town. Although it was not very detailed, it was already pretty good.
He had also collected a lot of information about that beast. However, most of them were illusory, so other than proving that there really was such a beast here, there wasn't much use.
It seemed that he could only rely on himself.
After making this decision, on the second day, Lin Long began to search for the fierce beast in the surrounding mountains.
