Chapter 162 Arrival

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 "Shua la la" the sound of the copper coins colliding sounded, and the copper coin mask was put on Li Huowang's face.

Smelling the unique burning smell of the copper coin mask, Li Huowang felt an unprecedented sense of security.

"When we get to Anci'an, let Master Tai and the others take a look. If you can even hide it from them, then this thing will be of great value."

Li Huowang, who was wearing a mask, stood up and shouted to the others behind him with a hint of excitement: "Let's go! Get to Henghua Mountain as soon as possible!"

The iron-wrapped carriage wheels rolled up again and set off towards Siqi.

As we get closer to Siqi, a place with many lakes and rivers, the vegetation on the roadside becomes vibrant again, and even the air becomes moist.

However, the journey back was not smooth sailing, and the Siqi border began to become more and more wary.

Fortunately, the border line between Siqi and Houshu is already long, and the defense of the border troops who have been mobilized can't stop it at all.

Taking advantage of the gap between the frontier army's rotation, Li Huowang and others returned to Siqi from Houshu.

One morning, Li Huowang was tied to a tree with chains as thick as a bowl. The other brothers watched him in silence as he talked nonsense.

After experiencing it so many times, they have long been accustomed to it and are not as surprised as before. They already know Li Huowang's disease very well.

After a while, Li Huowang's eyes gradually returned to clarity. He looked up at the bright sun above his head and at the green trees on the roadside, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what we experienced on the road, we will finally arrive soon.

"Let's have lunch. Let's leave after eating. If we walk quickly, we should be able to reach Henghua Mountain before dark." Li Huowang said to Bai Lingmiao, who was untying himself.

After taking a look at Li Huowang's left sleeve, which had not changed at all for so many days, Bai Lingmiao's eyes flashed with sadness.

She turned around, picked up the wood and went to fetch water from the nearby river.

The clear river water was very clean, and the wooden bucket carrying the water fell into the stream together with Bai Lingmiao's tears.

"Do you feel sorry for Senior Brother Li?" Chun Xiaoman, who came with him, said softly.

"He is disabled now! His hand will never grow back!" Bai Lingmiao choked and said.

Chun Xiaoman seemed to want to say something, but found that he didn't know where to start.

The other party is so sad because he has completely regarded Senior Brother Li as his man.

"This time I only broke an arm, but what if there is a next time? Why do we just want to go home, why is it so difficult! Woo woo woo"

Seeing Bai Lingmiao, her best friend, so sad, Chun Xiaoman seemed to feel the same way.

Although Li Huowang didn't explain anything to them, after getting along with them all the way, Chun Xiaoman could tell that the red bamboo slip on his waist was a sacrifice of something on his body in exchange for supernatural powers.

As long as that thing is by Li Huowang's side, there will definitely be less and less trouble with him in the future.

Chun Xiaoman looked at the increasingly sad Bai Lingmiao in front of her, her heart softened, and she held her in her arms.

In the final analysis, the main reason for this is their lack of strength. If they had the strength to easily solve this situation, how could the current situation still occur?

But it is almost impossible to persuade Senior Brother Li to throw away the bamboo slips. Although the price is high, the power is huge.

Her heart skipped a beat and she said to herself: "If it doesn't work, let Senior Brother Li teach me how to use the bamboo slips."

Since anyone can use that thing, it’s better to use it for yourself.

Both Bai Lingmiao and Senior Brother Li are people who care about each other, and people will feel sorry for them when they are injured.

And since I have decided not to marry again, it doesn’t matter.

"If it was my hand that was broken..." Chun Xiaoman lowered his head and glanced at the sad Bai Lingmiao, then looked at his own hand covered with black hair, "That's okay!"

After whispering comfort for a while, the two started fetching water again. The others were still waiting to eat, but they didn't dare to delay their journey.

The wooden barrel was put back into the cool water and began to be filled with water.

"Wait a minute." Chun Xiaoman dipped his furry hands in water and gently wiped the corners of Bai Lingmiao's eyes. "It's a bit dusty. Let me wipe it for you."

"Thank you, Miss Xiaoman."

"No matter how polite you are, we are all sisters. I will be your child's godmother in the future."

As soon as Chun Xiaoman said this with a smile, he saw Bai Lingmiao's expression becoming more and more frightened. "Sister Xiaoman! Look behind you!"

Xiao Man quickly pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist with one hand, turned around suddenly, and saw corpses scattered in the clear river floating slowly over.

Soon everyone gathered by the river, and everyone looked at the corpses on the river in silence.

Judging from the clothes of these corpses, these are soldiers from all directions, and there must have been battles somewhere upstream.

In the chaos of war, the lives of the common people were not much better. There were also many ordinary people among the corpses of soldiers, and their eyes were full of despair.

"There's so much floating water, how many people must have died here." Gouwa, leaning against the tree trunk, said with emotion.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to drink the water in the river anymore, I'll have to drink the water from the well."

Compared with what other brothers and sisters are worried about, Li Huowang is thinking about other things.

"Everyone has seen a lot of dead people. Don't you think these corpses are too fresh?"

Li Huowang's words made everyone pay attention to the details of those corpses.

As long as they didn't die on the same day, under normal circumstances, the corpse in the water would look very scary, and it would definitely not look like this.

"Yes, look, there is blood on the faces of these dead people!"

"If I couldn't move, I would be no different from a living person."

Li Huowang looked at everything in front of him and narrowed his eyes slightly. These corpses gave him a strong sense of uneasiness.

"Did he become like this because he was killed by some special power? Are there any other factions involved in the secular war?"

"Or maybe I'm simply thinking differently. In this world, a war joined by those weird sects is a normal war?"

After standing by the river and pondering for a while, Li Huowang left with the others.

Perhaps because there were so many dead people, everyone felt a little heavy. As we walked to the small town at the foot of Henghua Mountain, no one spoke.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the familiar scenery of the town appearing in front of them again after visiting it several times.

"Senior Brother Li, it's so late, are you still going up the mountain? Or should you say you'll go after breakfast tomorrow?"

"Don't be busy yet." Li Huowang walked into a fragrant pastry shop.

When he came out, he was carrying a large pile of pastry boxes behind him. After taking these goods, he almost emptied the store.

"I'm leaving. You guys should stay at the inn before. I'll find you later. By the way, where is Gouwa? I just met him."

"He went to the hut."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gou Wa, who looked comfortable, walked out of the alley nearby.

"Hey, the hut here is quite clean, not even a single fly or maggot is seen."
