I'm just a swineherd, not a beastmaster.

When I walked into the cave, a strong smell of dampness hit my nose.

"What a wet hole. If you stay there any longer, you might get rheumatism."

Yuan Feng was very glad that he had his own detached cabin and didn't have to squeeze in this hole like the crazy grandfather and grandson.

Taking advantage of night vision, the scene in the cave was clearly visible, exactly the same as what the spiritual sense observed.

The furnishings were very simple, with a stone table and a stone bed in the corner piled with bedding and sundries, nothing else.

At the end of the cave, there is something hidden in a place that cannot be observed by the spiritual sense outside the cave. There is a corner that cannot be seen.

If nothing unexpected happens, the crying sound just now came from that corner.

Yuan Feng held his breath and was as careful as possible.

The crying sounded harmless, but what if?

There are always unexpected events in the world, and Yuan Feng doesn't want to capsize in the ditch, so he tries to be as careful as possible.

Yuan Fengmao was at the corner and used his spiritual sense to explore first.

Behind the corner was a girl, about the same age as me, fourteen or fifteen. She was curled up with her head down, and her face could not be seen clearly. Her clothes were quite fancy, but she was not wearing shoes.

After making sure there was no danger, Yuan Feng let down his guard and walked into the corner.

As soon as he appeared, the girl's body trembled visibly, and then she looked up suddenly.

"You evil man, I will never obey you, Dad and Mom, Xin'er will go with you!"

The girl suddenly became passionate, holding a stone knife tightly in her hand, and was about to cut her neck with it.

"what's the situation?"

Yuan Feng was stunned when a stream of spiritual energy shot out and hit the stone knife in the girl's hand.

The girl was obviously not an expert in using a knife. The stone knife in her hand slipped out of her hand after being hit by the hasty spiritual energy.

As the stone knife fell to the ground with a clang, the girl shed two lines of tears.

Only then did Yuan Feng see clearly that the girl had an extremely beautiful face, skin as white as cream, and the childishness on her face could not conceal her beautiful temperament. She was a real beauty and it was obvious at first glance that she was not from a poor family.

Poor people can’t raise someone so fair and good-looking.

It seems that this girl was seduced by that crazy grandfather and grandson, so she suddenly wanted to commit suicide.

He probably thought he was part of that group of two.

"Girl, you misunderstood." Yuan Feng quickly explained.

"Sir, please don't say anything. Now I only ask you to be kind and spare my life." The girl was very persistent and did not give Yuan Feng a chance to explain.

Yuan Feng couldn't explain it clearly at the moment, so he took a quick glance and saw that there were still iron chains on the girl's feet. He immediately drew his sword and applied force as if he was cutting pig food, and with a click, he cut the chains in half.

"I'm really not in the same group as that crazy grandfather and grandson. I just killed them. You are free now. Go."

The girl looked up at Yuan Feng in surprise, but still did not stand up and remained curled up.

"Are you serious?"

"Why would I lie to you about this? Do you think I look like someone who would do something bad?"

The righteous girl didn't notice it, but she could see that he was poor. However, seeing Yuan Feng's handsome face, he didn't look like a bad person. Thinking that she was locked up and there was no need for the other party to lie to her, she believed it.

"Thank you for saving me."

The girl's tears flowed even harder and she started to cough.

This sudden scene made Yuan Feng not know what to do.

"You...you'd better not kowtow, or you might damage your brain."

Yuan Feng even saw the blood. It was a pretty girl. Not to mention that her brain was damaged, it would be tragic if she was disfigured.

The girl did not listen to the advice and kowtowed a dozen times before stopping.

"Where are you from? Go back quickly."

After Yuan Feng asked, the girl just stared at him blankly without answering.

Oh no, this won’t really damage my brain, right?

This is none of her business. She wanted to do it herself.

Yuan Feng, fearing trouble, quickly asked again: "Where are you from? Shicheng in the east? Echeng in the west? Ping'an County in the north? Or Luoshui County in the south?"

The girls all shook their heads: "No more."

"No more? Is there such a county town?"

"Yes, they are all gone, Daddy, Mommy, they are all gone... wuwu."

The girl burst into tears again, and her eyes didn't look like eyes anymore, but more like a faucet with the valve turned on.

"So this is what it means to be 'gone'."

Yuan Feng scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed as he accidentally revealed the other person's scar.

"Well, it's not a big deal. Everyone is an orphan. I am the same as you, I have no parents either."

"Your parents...were also killed by those two evil men?"

The girl asked, choking with sobs.

The two evil guys she was referring to were naturally the crazy grandfather and grandson.

"That's not the case. He died of an illness."

Although they are both orphans, Yuan Feng is much better off than the girl. At least Yuan Feng’s adoptive parents left him a wooden house and a pig shed, which means he has some family property.

Besides, Yuan Feng is a time traveler after all. He still looks like a child, but his soul is a mature one. He will find a way to survive no matter what.

This girl was not so lucky. If she hadn’t met Yuan Feng, her end would have been very tragic.

"By the way, after all that talk, my name is Yuan Feng, what's your name?"

"My benefactor, my name is Zhao Muxin."

"It's a nice name, but don't call me benefactor. Just call me by my name. I'm not used to hearing benefactor or benefactor."

"I understand... benefactor."

"Forget it, you can yell all you want, can you stand up?"

"can."

Zhao Muxin gritted her teeth and stood up unsteadily.

Just by standing up, her face turned pale. It seemed that the crazy grandfather and grandson had locked her up here and did not provide her with enough nutrition.

"Since you can, I see you have nowhere to go. It's getting late, so come down the mountain with me first. You can find relatives to stay with later, and then set off when you have enough strength."

"Thank you so much, my benefactor."

Zhao Muxin dragged her weak body and began to bow.

Yuan Feng didn't have time to exchange pleasantries with her and arrived at the stone bed first.

After searching for a while, I finally found a storage bag for him.

"That's right."

He just didn't believe it. The old man's only possession was that tattered banner, and there really was something hidden in the cave.

Due to the death of its owner, the storage bag became ownerless. Yuan Feng used his spiritual power to try and gained control of the storage bag.

The storage bag is one cubic meter in size, which is not very large, but it is full of things.

Some of it was herbs, some was various jewels, gold, and some miscellaneous books, but he had no interest in reading them.

Yuan Feng didn't know about herbs, but he knew about jewelry and gold. With so many things, he would be rich.

Yuan Feng was so excited that he closed his storage bag, fearing that someone would steal his money.

Looking around, it was very quiet, with only Zhao Muchin by my side.

"You...don't talk nonsense outside."

Wealth should not be exposed to others. In this dangerous world of cultivating immortals, Yuan Feng knows to be cautious.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Zhao Muxin looked at Yuan Feng blankly. She had no idea what was in the storage bag.

"Nothing, let's go."

Yuan Feng suddenly realized that he was a little too cautious. He waved his hand awkwardly and walked out of the cave first.

"ah!"

After taking a few steps, Yuan Feng suddenly heard Zhao Muxin screaming in pain behind him, and he quickly turned around.

"What's wrong."

"foot……"

Zhao Muxin lowered her head embarrassedly and pointed to her feet.

"What's wrong with your feet?"

Yuan Feng looked down at her feet.

That's no problem. It's smooth and delicate. Apart from being a little dirty, it doesn't affect the fact that it's a jade foot. It's pretty good.

"No shoes, my feet hurt."

"Ouch, I didn't think it through. Just wait."

Yuan Feng slapped his head and suddenly realized.

This is a mountain road, full of stones that hurt your feet. Even a grown man like him can't stand not wearing shoes, let alone a young girl with such delicate skin and flesh.

Soon, he brought back a handful of grass, gestured to Zhao Muxin's feet, and then skillfully weaved straw sandals.

After a while, a pair of specially customized straw sandals were delivered to Zhao Muxin.

"Don't despise straw sandals. A certain founding emperor once said: Wearing straw sandals is like flying."

"The founding emperor also said such simple words? Which dynasty was this emperor from?" Zhao Muxin took the straw sandals in a daze.

She didn't dislike it, but was a little curious that the emperor would say such strange things.

"Shu Han."

"Shu Han? Benefactor, I have read some history books, but why haven't I read Shu Han?"

"You haven't seen it. These are not in the history books. It's getting dark now. Don't worry about the history books. Come on, follow me down the mountain."

"I will follow the benefactor's arrangements."

Although Zhao Muxin had some doubts, she didn't ask any more questions since Yuan Feng didn't want to talk.

Zhao Muxin didn't know why the founding emperor said that after putting on the straw sandals, but these sandals really fit her feet well and made her feel like she was running as fast as an arrow.

Of course, there is another reason for the brisk walking, as the entire descent is downhill.
