Lin Feng carefully disguised himself and left the area. From here, it would take only three to five days to reach the capital. The mountain path was rugged and difficult, with no decent trail in sight. After all, this place was rarely visited, and no one had ever set foot in this region.
Lin Feng trudged forward, his steps uneven, as the sounds of wind and rustling leaves filled the air. Just as he was fully focused on finding a way out, he suddenly thought he heard faint voices. At first, Lin Feng dismissed it as a figment of his imagination, but when he stopped and listened intently, he confirmed that there were indeed people talking.
He quickly followed the direction of the voices. Not long after, Lin Feng spotted two figures busy in a clearing not far away. As he approached, he saw that it was an elderly man with graying hair and a young child, both bent over diligently picking up scattered firewood. They appeared to be a grandfather and grandson.
Just as Lin Feng was about to step forward to greet them, his peripheral vision caught sight of something lurking in the grass not far from the grandfather and grandson—a large wild boar with exposed tusks! At that moment, the boar seemed to sense Lin Feng's presence as well, glaring at them with its blood-red eyes.
Suddenly, the little girl beside Lin Feng gasped in horror at the sight before her, unable to suppress her scream. The unexpected sound shattered the tranquility, startling even the wild boar. It seemed displeased by the girl's shriek, letting out a low growl as if to complain: "You scared me!"
Then, the startled wild boar charged toward the elderly man with reckless abandon. Realizing the imminent danger, Lin Feng had no time to think. In an instant, he moved like lightning, darting forward. With a swift motion of his right hand, his sword—Pei Jian—was drawn from his waist with a whoosh.
In that split second, the blade gleamed as Lin Feng thrust it toward the wild boar like a sudden storm. There was a muffled thud as the sharp sword pierced through the thick chest of the boar.
After struggling in pain for a few moments, the wild boar finally collapsed onto the ground, unable to move any longer.
"Are you all right?" Lin Feng asked with concern, holding his sword.
At that moment, the little girl seemed still lost in the terrifying scene they had just witnessed, standing there in a daze with a pale face and trembling lips. The old man also appeared shaken, his heart racing as he took a while to regain his composure. He placed a hand on his chest and spoke with a quivering voice, "Thank you for saving us, young master. If you hadn't arrived in time, I fear my grandson and I would have lost our lives here."
"It's nothing!" Lin Feng quickly stepped forward, extending his hands to carefully help the grandfather and grandson up from the ground. He looked at them with concern and said seriously, "This place is not safe for you! You need to leave quickly!"
The old man nodded slightly, a hint of helplessness and bitterness on his face as he sighed, "What choice do I have? I am only trying to gather firewood to make a living. I have no other option but to collect as much as I can to exchange for some silver to get by."
Lin Feng lowered his head to check on their condition. Seeing that they were not seriously injured, he felt a bit relieved and continued, "In that case, if you're feeling fine, you should hurry home and take this wild boar with you."
He pointed to the boar lying nearby. The old man nodded in agreement and began to take action. Seeing this, Lin Feng did not hesitate to join in and helped lift the wild boar.
