After the Legend Chapter 73: Children of the Temple

Perdicca's figure had long since disappeared, and Minna was still standing there dumbfounded. The more she thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved. On the wife, the nagging opened to convenience: "Whose child is so naughty? How can they kick rocks?"

Ming Na blushed and wanted to apologize, but when she heard the old lady muttering about bad tutoring and lax discipline, she got angry again. Nothing was said.

After running for a long distance, she slowed down, looked down at the purse in her hand, and gritted her teeth: "Even without your help, I can go home by myself!" Thinking of this, she felt that it was unnecessary just now. Angry. Originally, she planned to use the slave trader's carriage to get to Anke City first, and then find a way to go home. Anke is different from Murray. There is a branch of the Xiao family here. The manager is a kind old grandfather, and the boatman, Uncle Pauldman, also takes good care of her, whether it is returning from here with the caravan or sailing south. It is very convenient for the Magic City to find Teacher Sauron and Uncle Hanlin. If someone from Sarah's family was willing to take her away, it would naturally be a lot easier, but after thinking about it, she doesn't actually know which country's princess Sarah is, does she? What should she do if they are from Noga? So, it's better to rely on yourself.

Thinking like this, Ming Na feels a lot better, and now that she has money, she is not much different from the original copper plate, and she is much more confident. She looked at no one left and right, then lowered her head and counted the silver and copper coins in the purse, thinking that it was enough to hire a good boat to go south. Holding on to the money tightly, she began to consider whether to go to the Xiao family branch first, or to hire a boat directly?

Someone seemed to be approaching quickly behind her, and Minna nimbly flicked to the side. Then she saw a thin shadow pass by, and then the money bag in her hand tightened with a hissing sound. Minna was stunned. The word "thief" came to mind.

The thief is a teenage boy. He didn't look much older than Ming Na, and when he looked back at this situation, he was also a little stupid, as if he couldn't believe that someone avoided him, and he couldn't believe that not only did he not steal the money, but he also tore the purse. Stay there for a while.

Ming Na woke up first, pointed at the boy's nose and shouted, "The thief! You actually stole my money?! Even children are not spared. Shameless!"

"I, I, I..." The boy stammered, but quickly responded. "Who... Who said I was a thief? Huh. You don't look like a rich man in clothes. You have so much money, and you don't know if you stole it back. I just... I just want to help the victim get it. It's just money back! Everyone said, isn't it?"

There were seven or eight voices of approval from the roadside. Only then did Ming Na realize that a group of boys had appeared around her at some time. The youngest was six or seven years old, and the oldest was a whole head taller than her. surround her. All of them put on a "you are the thief" expression, obviously with the boy.

Minna was dying of anger. She managed to suppress her anger just now, but now someone stole her money and scolded her as a thief? How can she bear it? When she was a child, she often fought with boys. During the two years at school, although she became well-behaved under the influence of her grandfather, she was not someone who was willing to endure bullying by boys. The scolding of the ground quickly developed into a group fight, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

When children fight, they don't care about any swordsmanship and swordsmanship. It's just to see who can punch fast and strong enough. After a meal, Ming Na's face is blue and there are a few more marks on her arm. Bloodmarks, but the group of boys were beaten by her until their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, many of them were tearful, and the leader, the tallest one, had a dark eye socket and put a cruel word: "Wait and see next time!" .

Ming Na snorted, "Next time I'll beat you guys up!" Patting the dust on the clothes, she suddenly remembered the money she had just dropped, and hurriedly turned around to pick it up, only to find that there was only one silver coin and five coins left on the ground. Six copper coins, the rest are gone.

Those brats!

Ming Na gritted her teeth, cursing the group of thieves and robbers, wrapped the remaining money in the rags of the purse, and put it back in her arms. She caught a glimpse of a boy on the corner of the street who was peeking at her. She found herself, turned and ran. Ming Na shouted, "Don't run!" and hurriedly ran after her.

She clung to the boy's back, no matter how many obstacles he created along the way, she didn't get lost, thinking in her mind that as long as she found these thieves, she could get the money back, and she still had to rely on the money Hire a boat.

The boy ran around Anke City for more than half a lap, but before he got rid of her, his feet gradually lost his support, and the speed became slower and slower, staggering all the way. Seeing this, Ming Na was triumphant and shouted loudly, "You brat, why don't you stop? Just tell me where your accomplice is."

The boy ignored her and barely supported her to turn the corner. Ming Na snorted and followed, but unexpectedly found his figure disappeared. Looking left and right, I found that this road looked familiar, wasn't it the place where Perdica left her? The road was deserted, there were only a few houses on both sides, and on the left was the small Temple of Light, the door was closed, and no sound could be heard.

Ming Na looked at the door hesitantly. Seeing that there was no movement, she turned her attention to the alley on the opposite side. The place was narrow and dimly lit. It was a good place to hide. Just as she was about to walk over, she suddenly heard a faint groaning from the gate of the temple behind her, which seemed to be the sound of clothes rubbing, and then a child's low voice. Ming Na turned around and took two steps towards the temple, and the sound disappeared again.

She squinted her eyes and felt that the door was really suspicious. She hurriedly took two steps to push it up, but it didn't move.

Strange, the temple is supposed to be open all day, right? Why do you lock the door in broad daylight?

As soon as Ming Na rolled her eyes, she leaned closer to the crack of the door and looked inside, only to see a shadow flickering, and then there was no movement. She was even more suspicious and looked around. Seeing that there was a big tree not far from the gate, with sturdy branches and sticking a few into the wall, she immediately got an idea, ran under the tree, put the cloth bag containing the money in her pocket, and climbed up the tree.

She has been very good at this activity since she was a child. In a blink of an eye, he climbed up the tree. Climbing on the thick branches, looking over the wall and looking in, I suddenly felt annoyed.

The previous group of thieves, including the boy who had just disappeared, were all hiding behind the gate, bending over, stomping their hips, and looking out through the crack of the door. He was probably looking at where he had gone, but he looked left and right and couldn't find it. Ming Na gritted her teeth with hatred: not only did she steal her money. Also tricked her on purpose. After taking her so far in vain, and then hiding and watching her jokes, she must teach these stinky boys a good lesson!

She grabbed the branch and jumped off the wall, shouting: "Thief! Bad guy! Give me the money back!" The boys were startled, and when they looked back, they found that she had actually entered the yard, and they were all tongue-tied: "You How did you get in here?!" The tallest one looked at the swaying branches, and suddenly realized: "It turned out to be over the wall..." After a pause, he squinted at Ming Na: "Why do you say that? We stole your money? Ivan just accidentally knocked off your purse, did you see that we took the money in it?" "That's right. You can't talk if you didn't see it." The other boys They also joined in.

Ming Na's face flushed with anger: "At that time, I was the only one on the road. I ended the fight with you. The money is gone, who else is it?!"

"Someone must have taken advantage of us when we didn't see it. We didn't take your money." Ming Na's eyes were red with anger: "You... do you want to be beaten by me again?!"

A hand put a hand on her shoulder, and a hoarse voice came from behind: "What happened? Who is going to beat whom?" ', while turning around to see who was standing behind him, he was taken aback.

The man was wearing a coarse white robe, with a bald head, no eyebrows, pale skin, a flat nose and yellow teeth, and a pair of black and red eyes, staring coldly at the boys. And the boys who had just talked back to Ming Na confidently just now are now all frustrated and obediently making confessions.

Minna can't help but take two steps back, dodging the hand of this terrifying person: "You...you...who are you?"

"I'm the cultivator here, boy, did they steal your money just now?"

Ming Na swallowed her saliva and stammered yes, but there was an urge to run away. This person looks so scary, with that look and expression, like a devil!

Speaking of which, he seems a little familiar. Have you seen it somewhere?

Ming Na thought hard for a while, and finally remembered that more than four years ago, when she and her grandfather came to Anke City for the first time, they met this priest outside the city, and the other party gave them a bottle Medicine, and also used therapy on her. I remember his name seemed to be Riddle, he was ugly, and he was in conflict with his grandfather, who hated him very much and once said that he was not a good person.

Ming Na secretly watched him scold the group of boys, thinking that no wonder grandpa thought he was not a good person. The other monks of the Light Cult were very gentle and kind, but he was the only one who was so terrifying and also Raised a lot of thieves and robbers!

No, she has to leave quickly. This person is not on good terms with her grandpa. I don't know if it will hurt her. She finally escaped here, she can't have any more accidents.

On the other side, Father Riddle listened to the boys' confession, and his face became even more gloomy: "Why do you do this? Have you forgotten everything I taught?" He turned to the one who was going to steal. The boy: "Ivan, you already have a place to work, and you will be leaving in a few days, why do you want to resume your old business at this time? If your future employer finds out, you will never have it again in your life. It's time to go!"

Ivan lowered his head: "I'm sorry, Father, I just... just saw that you are working so hard, and I want to help you." He whispered: "I was also afraid of being known, so I went out of town. people..."

The eldest boy interjected: "Father, this is all my idea, Ivan just does what I say, please punish me. We... Really don't want to see you running around every day, even sick. Rest well and endure the ridicule of others."

"So you would rather go against my will and do evil things?" Riddle breathed through his nostrils, "I took you in and taught you to read, not to make you thieves again. Beggar's! I hold the money that I got by improper means, it's like being burned by fire! Take the money out." He said the last sentence softly.

The boys looked at each other, took money from their pockets, and put it into Father Riddle's palm.

Ming Na glared at each of them: She said she didn't steal, what was that?

But the boys didn't notice her eyes and all bowed their heads in repentance.

Ridel looked at the coins in his hand with some surprise: "There are so many?" He turned to Minna: "Son, is this all yours? Do you count them? Are there any?"

Ming Na quickly counted the numbers, held it up and turned to leave, but was stopped by the other party: "Wait, child, I can't let you go outside alone with so much money, where are your parents? They Why are you not here? Are there no elders with you?"

Ming Na rolled her eyes and said, "My parents passed by with the caravan, and I'm going to find them now."

"She lied!" Ivan suddenly raised his head and said, "I just saw a man on horseback leave her at the gate of our temple and left, and she yelled at that man, she must have been abandoned by her family! "

"That person is not from my family!" Ming Na retorted angrily.

Riddle asks, "What about your parents? Are they there? Take me to see them."

Minna looked at him warily: "Why do you want to see them?"

Ridder said: "You're still a child, and you have so much money with you, how can I let you stay out alone? There are a lot of people with bad intentions now, who are trying to beat the idea of ​​​​children, you stay for the time being Here, I will help you contact your parents, and when they come, you will go back with them. Tell me what your name is? What is your surname? Where are your parents? Do you know anyone in Anchor City?"

Minna winks~IndoMTL.com~ Didn't he recognize herself?

In fact, it had been more than four years since she met Riddle, when she was not yet seven years old. She was dark and thin now, with a hoarse voice, and was dressed in Wessar clothing, almost completely different from what she was back then, and Father Riddle had only seen her twice, so of course he couldn't recognize her.

If you can't recognize it, don't let him know. Ming Na kept her grandfather's teaching in mind and didn't believe the priest, so she left the sentence "Don't bother you", turned around and ran away. Unexpectedly, before running to the door, his body was suddenly frozen, unable to move. Minna was shocked and tried hard to get her hands and feet to move, but she was unsuccessful.

What is this? Is it magic? Or sorcery?

Thinking of magic, she tried to activate the magic power in her body, and suddenly felt that her limbs relaxed for a while, and she could move again. She didn't care to figure out what was going on just now. She raised her legs and ran, but she just ran two steps. , a "Huh?" came from behind, and she was stopped again.

Who did it? ! Is it Riddle? She knew that he could use light magic.

Riddle came over and led Minna back. Minna was stunned to find that her limbs seemed to be under control, moving by herself, no matter how much she wanted to stop, they would not obey. Even though her legs were broken by a slave trader while she was sick and she was given a dumb medicine, she never lost control of her body. This feeling of being unable to resist being at the mercy of others is really bad. Minna was so anxious that tears rolled in her eyes. Although she stared at Riddle, her eyes were fierce, but there was a faint pleading: "What do you want?"

"Stay here until your parents come to pick you up." Riddle pursed his lips, showing his jagged teeth, and his face became even more terrifying.
