Before Chu Feng's eyes appeared a small town. However, when he observed it from a distance, he noticed that outside a huge mansion in the town, a large number of people were gathered. These people were forming a long queue, seemingly waiting to receive something.
Being new to the place, in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Chu Feng did not display his powerful cultivation. Instead, he quietly descended from the sky and then walked to the town center.
At this moment, Chu Feng realized that this was truly just an ordinary town. Compared to the mountain town where his Chu family relied for survival, this one was even worse. Most of the people in this town were commoners, and there wasn't even a restaurant.
However, there was a wealthy family in this town. At this moment, hundreds of people were forming a long queue, gathering outside the door of this wealthy family to receive food.
"Ah, Mr. Li is such a good person. He distributes food every month, giving it to us poor people."
"This year there were many natural disasters, and the grain production decreased significantly. If it weren't for Mr. Li's assistance, we would all have starved to death."
After hearing the people's discussion, Chu Feng learned that this was a free distribution of food. Looking at this Mr. Li's mansion, although it was not extremely magnificent, it did indeed seem like the residence of a wealthy person. At least it was much better than the thatched huts of the other commoners.
This indicated that in Mr. Li's home, even if there were no delicacies from the mountains and seas, there were always delicious foods like chicken, duck, and fish. So Chu Feng did not queue up. Amid the different gazes of countless people, he walked directly to the front door of Mr. Li's mansion.
"Stop! To receive food, you need to queue up. Who let you cut in line?"
Seeing this, several burly guards of the mansion pointed at Chu Feng and shouted, "Pointing your way forward! You can't just cut in line like that!"
These strong men all had the cultivation of Spirit Martial Arts Level 2. Although their cultivation was extremely low, compared to those who had no cultivation at all, they were still quite good.
"I'm not here to receive food. I'm here to buy food," Chu Feng said with a gentle smile.
"Buy food?" After hearing this word, a middle-aged man with a luxurious appearance and a goatee stepped out of the courtyard. Seeing Chu Feng's luxurious attire and his youthful face, he suddenly brightened up and hurriedly said, "Young man, please tell me how much food you want to buy?"
"I only want to buy one meal's worth of food. Please bring out all the good wine and meat in your house for me to prepare a meal. I promise I won't treat you unfairly," Chu Feng said.
"Alright, young man. Come inside," Seeing this, the middle-aged man with the goatee, with a malicious smile on his face, led Chu Feng inside and shouted to the nearby guards, "What are you waiting for? Hurry to the kitchen and order some table-ready food to entertain the young man. The faster, the better!"
Who is this person? Although he is young, he has caused a huge upheaval in the entire Qingzhou. It can be seen that this middle-aged man realizes that he looks like a wealthy person and is very young, and wants to take advantage of this to eat me out of house and home.
However, Chu Feng didn't care to argue with him because he was starving and just wanted to have a good meal. As for money, Chu Feng didn't care at all.
Then, Chu Feng was invited into a nice hall. To say the least, this middle-aged man was quite efficient. Soon, a variety of delicious dishes were placed on the table.
It was unknown whether it was because Chu Feng was too hungry or their food was too delicious that Chu Feng looked at the dishes on the table, his eyes glowing with excitement and his mouth watering. He unbuttoned his sleeves and was ready to devour the food in a frenzy.
"Wait!" Just at this moment, the middle-aged man with the goatee suddenly spoke, smilingly saying to Chu Feng, "Young man, it's not that I don't trust you. It's just that this table of delicious food costs a lot of ingredients. My lord doesn't dare to be so extravagant and wasteful in normal times. If you don't offer the corresponding price, I won't be able to explain this later."
"Damn it!" Chu Feng was furious. You think I can't afford your meal? So Chu Feng reached his waist pouch and wanted to randomly take out something. To this middle-aged man, it was like he was stunned.
"Uh-oh." But this didn't matter. Chu Feng's expression changed. Because Chu Feng was astonished to find that in hisbag, apart from the Divine Spirit Compass and some spare items, there was nothing at all, not even a hair.
At this moment, Chu Feng suddenly remembered that when they were at the Bone Graveyard, Chu Feng had sorted out hisbag and handed all the useless things to Li Changqing, while the precious medicines and other things he had left were all used up during his cultivation.
Now, Chu Feng really couldn't produce an equivalent item to pay for this meal. After all, what he left behind were all essential things with high value. Not to mention that giving this mustachioed man his money would be very troublesome. Even if he took it out, this mustachioed man might not be able to recognize the value.
"I say, young man, you can't be trying to have a free meal, right?" Seeing this, the mustachioed man's eyes narrowed, and the previous courteous smile vanished, replaced by a sinister expression. At the same time, several strong men rushed into the room from outside. This appearance seemed to indicate that they wanted to attack Chu Feng.
At this moment, Chu Feng also got angry. Considering his identity and strength, he was actually looked down upon by such a group of losers. Chu Feng's first thought was to raise his hand and punch the room ceiling to show them his strength and make them deeply realize their mistake.
But after careful consideration, Chu Feng also realized that he was indeed wrong. It was a fact that he didn't have money to pay the bill for the meal. Using force to solve this problem was really a bit too much. Although Chu Feng wasn't afraid of anything, he wasn't an evil person who did all kinds of bad things. Naturally, he couldn't do such domineering and arrogant things to bully the weak.
"What are you doing?" But at this moment, a stern voice from the hall outside suddenly shouted. Immediately after, an elderly man also walked in.
This old man was dressed very simply and looked very rustic. His appearance was literally that of a night watchman. However, when this old man appeared, both the mustachioed man and the several strong men immediately became humble.
"Sir, this guy wants to have a free meal." The mustachioed man was obviously afraid of this old man and hurriedly explained.
At this moment, Chu Feng finally knew that this seemingly insignificant old man was actually the owner of this large mansion. The people called him the benevolent and kind-hearted Li Elder.
"Really? As long as the visitor is here, it's just a meal. Why bother asking for money or resorting to violence?"
"Don't apologize to this guest yet?" However, after hearing the mustachioed man's account, Li Elder became even angrier. He pointed at their heads and gave them a scolding.
In this situation, the mustachioed man and the several strong men had no choice but to apologize to Chu Feng one by one. It made Chu Feng feel a bit embarrassed.
"Young man, you're not from around here, are you? Where are you headed?" Elder Li sat down next to Chu Feng and asked with a smile.
Meanwhile, Chu Feng had already been eating heartily without any courtesy. When he saw Elder Li asking a question, he wiped the greasy mouth and replied, "I'm not from this area. I'm from Jiezhou. I want to go to the Ten-Faced Mountain."
"What? The Ten-Faced Mountain?" !!!"
Upon hearing the words "Wan Yao Mountain", not only Li Senior, but almost everyone present had their faces contorted in shock and terror. Li Senior himself swayed slightly and almost fell off the chair. Had it not been for Chu Feng's quick reflexes and timely grasp, he would surely have landed on his back with his legs spread wide.
