It was already the middle of winter and the weather was exceptionally cold.
Outside the dilapidated house, the cold northern wind was blowing. Hiding in this wooden house that was full of cracks and holes, one couldn't resist the cold at all.
Lin Lin was wearing thin clothes. His body was shivering slightly. The energy in his body was extremely dry and he couldn't resist the cold weather at all.
It had been more than a month since he came to this place.
A month ago, after he left the cowherd old man, he traveled over land and water to gather information. Only then did he come to the nearest city, Fangcun City.
It was Lin Lin's first time here and he was unfamiliar with the place. Faced with such an unfamiliar environment, he was naturally very nervous. Although he was mentally mature, he was still only an 11-year-old child.
The knowledge in his mind and his knowledge of the outside world were limited to some ancient books in Liu Xian Village. Therefore, in this unfamiliar place, he could only choose to hide and become ordinary.
"I'm so hungry!"
Standing at the side of a street, Lin Lin held his stomach and leaned against the wall. He lifted his head and looked at the people coming and going. There was a sense of novelty in his eyes. Indeed, compared to Liu Xian Village, Fangcun City was really too prosperous and too big.
The wide and clean streets, the various shops on both sides of the street, the pedestrians coming and going, the merchants, and the hawkers selling their wares. All these stimulated the heart of this young man in front of him.
As a newcomer, he walked around for an entire morning. It was only until noon when the aroma of food floated around the streets that his stomach started to growl.
However, he had no money.
He didn't have a single cent on him.
Moreover, he couldn't possibly snatch the food, right? Although his cultivation was top-notch in Liu Xian Village, in Fangcun City, there were definitely countless people who were much stronger than him. If he wanted to snatch the food, he had to have the ability to do so.
Lin Lin was indeed a genius. However, so what if he was a genius? A weak genius was even worse than a dog. He didn't even have the right to be slaughtered by others.
The Sea Reincarnation Realm was simply pitifully weak in Fangcun City!
Therefore, the current Lin Lin was still far from it, far from it.
Leaning against the corner of the wall, the divine power in his body slowly nourished his body. Although the amount was small and incomparably dry, it was better than nothing.
"I'm so hungry. However, I have no money on me. I can't even afford a bun!"
What to do?
Could it be that he had to leave the city and hunt for prey in the wild?
However, it would take at least a day to get close to the place where there was prey outside the city. Moreover, it was not easy to catch them. It would be a waste of time if it was too far away.
What about stealing some money?
"Grandpa, Lin Lin has disappointed you, but …"
…
In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.
The 11-year-old child of the past had grown up by another year and was now 12 years old.
He wore a gray hemp robe and had a head full of black hair. The cloth shoes on his feet had several large holes, and his toes were exposed from time to time.
A year later, Lin Lin was no longer the newbie who didn't know anything. Mingling in the marketplace, he clearly understood the current situation with his own mind.
This was Fangcun City, a large city within the Central State.
There were countless experts in the city, and powerful cultivators could occasionally be seen. In the sky, divine light would occasionally appear. Lin Lin knew that these were all experts flying here.
Therefore, ever since he had a deep understanding of the city's situation, he carefully chose to conceal himself.
In terms of cultivation, he had finally broken through to the Reincarnation Mystic Realm and the Dao Palace Mystic Realm after a year of hard work, even without the help of any elixirs or treasures of heaven and earth.
This cultivation speed was already considered fast.
However, Lin Lin wasn't sure. Compared to the children of the large family clans in the city, he wasn't considered outstanding. Some of the children were even close to attaining the great perfection of the Dao Palace Mystic Realm at a young age.
However, he didn't have any elixirs or spiritual essence to nourish himself. This cultivation speed was already frightening.
Of course, it didn't matter if his cultivation speed was fast. In this large city, he was still an ant. Therefore, he carefully chose to disguise himself as a beggar.
No one would care about this.
He could also live a safe and sound life until he matured and attained the great perfection of the Dao Palace Mystic Realm or even broke through to the Dao Palace Mystic Realm.
At that time, he would have some security.
…
With a small bundle in his hand, Lin Lin happily walked towards his small dilapidated house.
This was the slums of Fangcun City. There were many such dilapidated houses. No one would care about how many beggars there were.
He jogged all the way and finally arrived in front of the small dilapidated house.
"Clang!"
He pushed the door open and quickly ran into the house. He shouted, "Nan Nan, Nan Nan, get up quickly. See what good food I brought for you!"
In the corner, a short figure was playing with something in her hand with her head lowered.
The figure was a little girl with pigtails. She was no more than three or four years old. Her little clothes were patched and tattered. Even her little shoes had toe holes. Her face was dirty. Only her pair of big black eyes were like black gemstones, making people feel pity for her.
She was Nan Nan, a homeless little girl. A year ago, she wandered here and fainted from the cold. Lin Lin couldn't bear to see her and brought her home.
After a year, their relationship was like that of siblings. Lin Lin loved this girl very much. Especially since she was homeless like him, he felt even more pity for her.
The little girl couldn't remember the past. She didn't even know her name. Lin Lin gave her a name, Nan Nan.
Little Nan Nan was very sensible and obedient.
Usually, when Lin Lin went to look for food, she would stay in the house alone and wouldn't run around.
When there was nothing to do, Lin Lin would play with Nan Nan. He even taught her how to read and told her stories that he had read in ancient books.
"Brother is back! I wonder what good food you brought! "
Nan Nan stared with her large black gem-like eyes and said in a childish voice.
"Haha, look, it's roast goose. It's the specialty of the roast goose shop in the west of the city. Nan Nan, you haven't eaten it before, right? Try it today. It's delicious!"
As Lin Lin spoke, he opened the package and revealed a packaged roast goose. At that moment, it was still steaming hot.
Of course, the food was bought by Lin Lin. As for the money, he didn't get it by begging but by stealing.
After all, begging was just a pretense. He just wanted to feel safe.
After all, he was a young expert who had reached the Dao Palace realm. It was very easy for him to get some money.
Of course, he wouldn't get too much. It was fine as long as it was enough.
The roast goose was golden in color and exuded an alluring aroma. One could not help but salivate after smelling it.
Nan Nan was the same. She looked at the roast goose and her throat kept moving. She looked like a greedy little cat.
However, she didn't eat. She only looked at Lin Lin and said in a crisp voice, "Brother, you eat first. Nan Nan isn't hungry yet!"
Lin Lin's heart ached. He knew that his sister was sensible. They rarely ate roast goose.
"Be good, Nan Nan. You eat first. Brother has already eaten. I'm full!"
As he spoke, he patted his stomach.
"No, I know you haven't eaten yet. Brother, you eat first. Nan Nan is really not hungry." However, her stomach started growling at that moment.
Nan Nan's face turned red. She patted her stomach and said in a low voice, "You're not obedient. You're not obedient!"
Her childish actions would make people laugh, but Lin Lin couldn't bring himself to laugh.
Although she was young, she was sensible and very obedient.
Perhaps it was because she had been wandering outside at a young age, which had a deep impact on her memory. Although she had forgotten the past, the impact lasted for her entire life.
Lin Lin gently hugged Nan Nan's body and held her in his arms. He tore open a roast goose leg and brought it to her mouth. "Let's eat together, okay? You can have half and I'll have half. Anyway, there's a lot of roast goose. We can't finish it! "
The little girl stared blankly for a moment before nodding her head. With a blushing face, she gently took a bite of the roasted goose leg and began to eat it delightfully.
That year, Lin Lin was twelve years old and Nan Nan was five years old.
