As night fell, the scorching sun in the sky was replaced by a crescent moon. A gentle silver light penetrated the clouds and shone on the earth, covering the desolate land with a thin layer of silver gauze.
The entire night sky was exceptionally quiet and comfortable at this moment.
When night fell, the large merchant group in Mu Lin stopped their journey and started to set up camp in the forest.
Traveling at night was much more dangerous than during the day. The surrounding night seemed to be silent, but in fact, there were countless dangers hidden. These dangers came from invisible sources.
You would never know when a venomous snake was approaching you, and you would never know whether a tiger or leopard would suddenly rush out from the grass and bite you into pieces. These things were very likely to happen.
This was not the modern Earth. Tigers and leopards could only be seen in zoos. This was a chaotic world, and there were many wolves and leopards in the wilderness. If you were not careful, you might die in their mouths.
Under normal circumstances, very few people and caravans would travel at night. Even some armies would not choose to march at night.
Of course, nothing was absolute. If you were confident in your own strength and weren't afraid of wolves, tigers, and leopards, you wouldn't have to worry about these things. If you didn't have the strength to look down on wild beasts, you could just start a fire and set up camp obediently to survive this dangerous night.
In the wilderness, tigers and leopards weren't necessarily the scariest. The scariest ones were those wild beasts that lived in groups, such as wolves...
If they were to be surrounded by a pack of wolves, these 100 cavalrymen would not be enough to deal with them.
In the carriage, Mu Lin slowly woke up.
" Sigh…I don't know what's wrong with this God System. After I fainted, I lost contact with it. If the God System was here, it would only take a moment for me to recover from my injuries…"
After stretching his aching body, Mu Lin frowned and felt a little depressed.
For some reason, after he woke up, the God Spirit System seemed to have disappeared and lost contact with him. Now, it was difficult for Mu Lin to ask it to help him check for points. Mu Lin did not know why.
Without the help of the god system, Mu Lin could only rely on himself to heal his injuries. The speed of his recovery…was extremely slow…
After all, the people who had injured Mu Lin were Zhang Fei and Xu Chu. Which one of them was not one of the top generals in this world?
Their joint attack was no joke. If he had not dodged quickly, he would have died long ago under their combined attack...
"Although the recovery speed of my injuries is slow, it's still much better than during the day."
Even though Mu Lin still felt some pain when he moved, he could at least move. During the day, Mu Lin could not even stand up. Without the help of the God System, it was already quite good for him to recover at this speed.
"I can only wait. I hope that there's no serious problem with the God System."
Mu Lin sighed and prayed for the God System.
If he wanted to become stronger, he would have to borrow the power of the god system. If the god system disappeared, Mu Lin's future achievements would probably stop here. This was definitely not what Mu Lin wanted to see.
"Aiya! Why are you up? Lie down!"
The curtain of the carriage was lifted by a slender hand. Da Qiao, who was wearing a veil, walked anxiously to Mu Lin, her beautiful eyes revealing deep worry.
Mu Lin was so severely injured that Da Qiao thought it would be difficult for him to even move without five or six days. Now, only half a day had passed, and Mu Lin had actually stood up. How could Da Qiao not be worried?
"No!"
Suddenly, Da Qiao seemed to have thought of something. Her beautiful eyes looked at Mu Lin in shock as she muttered in a daze," You…Why are you standing up?”
She suddenly realized that Mu Lin, who she thought would take at least five to six days to get up, was actually standing in front of her…At this moment, although Mu Lin's face was a little pale, he did not look like he was in pain. It was obvious that he was not forced to stand up…
"Don't worry, I can already walk around lightly."
Looking at Da Qiao, whose beautiful eyes were filled with worry, Mu Lin felt a warmth in his heart.
When he was down and out, there was such a beautiful girl taking care of him. Mu Lin, oh Mu Lin…the virtues you accumulated in your previous life were not wasted.
"You scared me to death!"
Da Qiao glared at Mu Lin with resentment and slowly held Mu Lin's shoulder.
"Let's go. You must be hungry after being unconscious for so many days. I'll bring you to find something to eat."
She smiled sweetly. Although her beautiful face was covered by a thin veil, Mu Lin could still imagine the intoxicating smile under the veil.
"Da Qiao, thank you…"
Thousands of words converged into one word of thanks. Now, Mu Lin could only use this word of thanks to express the gratitude in his heart.
"Why are you thanking me? I should thank you!”
Da Qiao rolled his eyes at Mu Lin and smiled.
"Thank me?"
Mu Lin was stunned. It was Da Qiao who saved him, so why was she thanking him?
"That's right! Great General Mu Lin, I still have to thank you for not killing me back then! Don't you agree?"
Da Qiao chuckled and joked with Mu Lin.
“……”
Da Qiao's words made Mu Lin speechless. Wasn't he mocking him…
Mu Lin, who was talking and laughing, slowly walked out of the carriage with Da Qiao's support.
"Phew…"
He took a deep breath of fresh air. This was the first time Mu Lin had breathed in the outside world since he had been unconscious for a few days. The frustration in his heart also dissipated at this moment.
"Yo! Little brother, you're finally awake. Hehe, you've been in a coma for the past few days, and this little girl has been worried sick…"
Not long after Da Qiao helped Mu Lin out, a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears walked towards him. Although he was smiling at Mu Lin, the smile that was formed by countless piles of fat really made Mu Lin feel a little disrespectful.
This person's smile should be the so-called " smile uglier than crying ", right?
This was the first time Mu Lin had seen someone who could laugh even more unsightly than when he was crying…
"Mu Lin, this is Lord Qian. He's also the person in charge of escorting the caravan this time. It was he who agreed to bring us along."
Da Qiao introduced to Mu Lin.
"So it's Lord Qian, nice to meet you…I'll have to trouble Lord Qian to take care of me along the way."
As the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling face. Mu Lin couldn't possibly look down on him just because he had an ugly smile, right?
Mu Lin wanted to give this fatty a good kick. This guy was the person in charge of the caravan, which meant that this fatty was the culprit who had cheated Da Qiao of dozens of taels of silver. If Mu Lin wasn't injured, he would have slapped this person long ago.
Of course, in the end, Mu Lin held back. He had not recovered his strength yet, so it was better to avoid causing trouble. When he recovered a little, he would make him spit out all the silver he had swallowed, and double it!
The people around me, Mu Lin, aren't people you can trick just because you want to.
"Alright, alright. Little brother, your injuries are not light…What happened?”
"Hehe, my luck was bad. I was attacked by a few wolves in the wild. Being able to survive can be considered a virtue accumulated by my ancestors."
Mu Lin didn't explain much about his injuries. He just found an excuse to cover it up. After all, Mu Lin couldn't possibly tell him that he became like this after fighting Zhang Fei and the others, right? Even if Mu Lin told him about this, the other party would definitely not believe him. Moreover, Mu Lin did not feel the need to tell this to someone he was not familiar with.
"You can't even defeat a few wolves?"
As Mu Lin and Lord Qian were chatting, a faint voice of disdain came from a bonfire in the camp. There were only two people around the bonfire, and they were two beautiful sisters. Although they were not as beautiful as Da Qiao, they were still worthy of the word "beauty".
The person who spoke with a hint of disdain and disdain was the slightly older woman in purple. She had been paying attention to Mu Lin ever since he appeared. She was originally quite interested in Mu Lin. He was handsome and had an otherworldly aura. To be honest, Mu Lin gave her a good first impression. It was precisely because of this that she had been paying attention to him since he appeared.
However, her interest and good impression of Mu Lin had disappeared without a trace after she learned that Mu Lin couldn't even defeat a few wolves.
At this moment, not only was there no interest in her gaze when she looked at Mu Lin, there was even a hint of disdain and ridicule.
"Hehehe ~ Sister Xue 'er, what's wrong? Weren't you quite interested in him just now? Why do you look down on her now?"
Beside the purple-robed woman was a little girl in a white dress. She was only 14 or 15 years old. Although she was not old, she was indeed not bad looking. Moreover, she looked somewhat similar to the purple-robed woman called Xue 'er. She should be the purple-robed woman's younger sister.
Among the two, the purple-robed woman who looked down on Mu Lin was Yang Xue, the eldest daughter of the Yang Clan in Xiapi City. The girl beside her was Yang Ying 'er, her younger sister.
A few days ago, Yang Xue had accidentally seen Mu Lin being carried into the carriage by Da Qiao. His handsome appearance and otherworldly temperament had truly moved Yang Xue. From there, she had a good impression of the unconscious Mu Lin in the carriage. Over the past few days, Yang Xue had been paying attention to that carriage.
However, after being carried into the carriage by Da Qiao, the unconscious youth had never woken up, making Yang Xue feel rather depressed.
Today, she finally got her wish and saw the young man who had given her a good impression. However, when she found out that the young man who had given her a good impression was actually a "trash", Yang Xue could not help but be disappointed.
In this world, martial arts were respected. Those without strength were destined to live at the bottom of the world, like ants. In Yang Xue's opinion, although Mu Lin had a good appearance, he did not have much strength. Such a person was not worthy of her and was not the man she was looking for.
"I've never been interested in trash. He can't even defeat a few wolves. What right does such a person have to interest me? If you want to blame someone, you can only blame me. I was wrong about him. He was born with a good appearance, but I didn't expect him to be a good-for-nothing."
The purple-robed woman's voice was not loud, and only the two sisters could hear it.
"Let's go back, there's nothing else to see."
Yang Xue glanced indifferently at Mu Lin, who was still conversing with Lord Qian. She stood up and walked towards her tent. After that, she did not look at Mu Lin again.
He was just a useless piece of trash. Yang Xue really didn't know what had happened to her back then. She actually had a good impression of such a person... How ridiculous...
"Sister, wait for me!"
Yang Ying 'er pouted and glanced at Mu Lin before following the purple-robed woman back into the tent.
However, Mu Lin, who was conversing with Lord Qian, had no idea that he was being despised.
If Mu Lin knew about this, he would probably be very depressed.
He hadn't even done anything, yet he was being looked down upon. What was this…
