Chapter 266 Hitting the Road

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 "A plague?" Li Huowang, who was just about to leave, was instantly attracted by the chat between the two people, and his intuition told him that this might be what he was looking for.

Completely ignoring the Lu family on the stage, Li Huowang quickly moved closer to the tall and fat people, waiting for them to continue.

However, what made Li Huowang anxious was that when he accidentally listened, the other party kept talking, but when he listened intently, the other party shut up.

Li Huowang simply walked up to the fat man and gently pushed his shoulder with his arm. "My friend, dare I ask what's going on in Pi County? Why is there a plague? I've never heard of it before."

The fat man, who was listening intently to the fan show on the stage, was suddenly displeased when Li Huowang asked him. "What's wrong with you? Who are you?"

When the fat man saw the two pieces of silver handed over by Li Huowang, his eyes immediately went straight. He swallowed back the rude words on his lips.

"Please tell me that my uncle is in Pi County. When I heard that there was a plague there, I felt really anxious, so I was so reckless."

Regardless of whether the other party believes the lies Li Huowang made up, at least for the sake of money, he seems to be very helpful.

"Hey, brother, you told me about this earlier, what do I think of it?" A fat hand hidden in the cuff stretched out and took the two pieces of silver.

"Don't worry, your uncle is fine. There is no plague in Pixian County. He is all alive." At this point, the fat man wearing a watermelon hat paused slightly.

"But, Ge Lang'er, if you really want to marry your biological uncle, it would be best to take him out of Pi County. The feng shui of that place is not good."

When he said this, his voice lowered subconsciously, as if he was afraid of being heard by something.

"Let me tell you, last time I went there to do business, I found that the people living there were very nervous and looked bad. I don't know what they did. It's no wonder that others would say that they were so stupid.

There is a plague in the county, and the face is uglier than that of a person suffering from the plague."

"People in the entire county are nervous and look bad?"

Li Huowang, who was standing there, thought about it carefully and asked again: "Apart from that, is there anything else unusual happening in this county?"

Although nothing strange happens in this world, it is still impossible to tell what happened to the people of Pixian County based on these two points.

"I don't know about that. I just passed by there and returned after a short while. If you are really worried, then you can go to Pi County to have a look. Anyway, it's only about ten days away, so there's nothing wrong with you.

Don’t you think I’ll be back soon?”

"Ten days' journey?" Li Huowang thought for a while, then turned and walked towards the inn.

When Bai Lingmiao's map was spread out in front of Li Huowang, Li Huowang quickly found the location of Pixian County, which happened to be on the same road as Niuxin Mountain.

After thinking carefully for a moment, Li Huowang finally decided to go there and have a look.

The behavior of people in a county has become weird. No matter how you look at things, it's not a big deal. There is a high chance that you will encounter Jian Tiansi there.

And this is the only choice I have now. There is not even an alternative.

At this moment, Lu Xiucai rushed in from outside the house excitedly. Just as he was about to speak, Li Huowang raised his head and said to him: "Go and tell your father. Stop acting after today's play. We will continue on our way tomorrow."<

/p>

Lu Xiucai, holding a copper coin in his hand, nodded repeatedly, turned around and rushed outside.

Others had long been accustomed to Li Huowang's sudden departure. They prepared the ox cart and the newly purchased carriage, and put everything they needed on them.

As for where Li Huowang was going and what he was going to do, they didn't bother to ask, or they didn't dare to ask, so they just kept following him.

If there is any change this time from before, it is that the Lu family class, which had always been dejected, has now changed its face.

Everyone's face was flushed, and their energy had returned after being beaten by their peers.

"Hehehe~ Little Dao Master, Little Dao Master~ We agreed before that this is your share, but my share."

The happy Lu Zhuangyuan reached out and handed a handful of copper coins mixed with broken silver to Li Huowang.

Li Huowang looked at Lu Zhuangyuan, who was smiling like a chrysanthemum, "What? Did you get so much reward money?"

Does he know that in the past, the Lu family's class just sang like that, but they didn't have so much reward?

"Hahaha, after all, this is Daliang. Those people are rich, they are all rich~"

Lu Zhuangyuan said with a smile and put the copper coins and silver in his hands on the bullock cart.

Zhao Wu, who was driving the carriage, saw that Li Huowang did not refuse, so he took out a piece of thick thread and strung together the scattered copper coins one by one.

Of course Li Huowang did not refuse. Although the money was not much, it was a steady flow of money, so that he would not have to waste time on these daily trivial matters.

And at least with this money, other people can have better food. "Take out the bacon tonight and make bacon stewed rice."

Just after saying this, a clear sound of swallowing came to Li Huowang's ears. Logically speaking, after eating so much meat on the Qingqiu grassland, he shouldn't be so greedy.

"Whose voice is this? Didn't you eat today?"

Li Huowang turned his head, only to find that the man was not one of his own, but a grey-haired, lean man named Mai Ke. Beside him was a simple-looking young man.

The two of them seemed to be on their way together.

As if he felt that the other party was looking at him, the old Maike pretended not to care and looked at the harvested rice fields on the other side.

"Gurgling~" There was a sound in the stomach. Old Mai Ke put down his hands holding the pole on his shoulders, grabbed the hemp rope of his trousers from left to right, and tightened it a little harder.

Li Huowang looked at their shabby patched clothes, turned around and continued on his way.

Along the way, no one else spoke except Gou Wa, who was a little bit tongue-tied.

When the sun turned west, the bullock cart slowly stopped, and as usual, everyone began to divide their work to make dinner.

"Senior Brother Li, look! There's Grandma Ding on the side of the road here. She's making a wild vegetable soup, which can just be used to relieve the greasiness of the bacon!"

Li Huowang, who was looking at the map, didn't even hear who said this.

His attention is now focused on the map in his hand. God knows if the ratio of this map is correct. If it goes astray, it will waste several days of travel.

Dinner will be ready soon. Today’s dinner is bacon stewed rice with wild vegetable soup.

Looking at the large bowl of shiny rice in front of him and the red and white bacon between the rice, Li Huowang raised his head and glanced at Liangmaike who was squatting in the distance.

They were drinking the cold water they had just scooped out from the stream and swallowing the cereals they took out of their bags.

The wheat guest stared straight at the rice in Li Huowang's hand, but was quickly pressed down by the old wheat guest.

"Go get two bowls of rice and deliver them to them." Li Huowang said to Bai Lingmiao beside him.

"Yeah." Bai Lingmiao nodded, turned and walked towards the pot.
