In the peach forest full of the smell of charcoal, Li Huowang did not dare to walk too fast. The bones and flesh in his waist were still moving, as if they might break at any time.
Seeing Li Huowang walking further and further away, the expression on the fat woman's face couldn't help but become anxious.
"Hey, young man, I don't want anything else! I want the five years of unblemished life included in the reward! You make a price and I buy it!!"
"I won't sell it!" Li Huowang refused without hesitation. He was prepared to keep this kind of longevity without side effects to extend the life of the short-lived Bai Lingmiao.
The fat woman seemed a little unwilling to accept it, and kept following her from a distance. However, when Li Sui appeared, crawling on the ground with all four limbs, showing his white teeth and growling threateningly at her, she stopped.
"Li...Senior Brother Li?" Bai Lingmiao stared at the black blur in the distance, with a hint of hesitation in his soft voice. It was red just now, but suddenly turned black?
Li Huowang immediately got on his horse, endured the severe pain all over his body, and drove the horse pulling the cart away.
"I'll explain later! Someone is targeting us, we need to get out of here quickly."
The carriage started running wildly on the dirt road late at night. It ran for several hours until noon the next day. When the horses started to foam at the mouth, Li Huowang stopped.
Seeing that no one was following, Li Huowang breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless of whether the woman was jealous of him or something else, at least she didn't follow her ghostly.
Li Huowang, who had been holding on for a whole night with his scarred body, finally couldn't hold on any longer and lay down behind the car curtain.
"Miaomiao, I'm going to take a nap. Don't touch the things on the copper coin sword."
When the back of his head hit soft clothing, Li Huowang instantly lost consciousness.
This time, Li Huowang slept for a long time. When he opened his eyes again, he saw Bai Lingmiao using a brush to brush something on his charred body.
With a slight sniff, Li Huowang knew the special smell was badger oil used to treat burns.
"How long have I been asleep?" Li Huowang's words let Bai Lingmiao know that he was awake.
"Senior Brother Li, you have been sleeping for three days. I have stitched up the wounds on your chest and waist."
"Oh..." Li Huowang suddenly thought of something and sat up suddenly with excitement.
Ignoring the pain of being ripped apart, Li Huowang immediately grabbed the copper coin sword on the side. When he saw that there was no black smoke coming out from there, his heart suddenly sank.
"Senior Brother Li, are you looking for that invisible thing? I bought a wooden box from the salesman and packed it up for you."
Carefully opening the wooden box, Li Huowang used the other end of his chopsticks to gently poke into the empty box.
When he felt the strange resistance, Li Huowang breathed a sigh of relief. The spirit was still there.
"Senior Brother Li, are you hungry? I cooked some soup." Bai Lingmiao opened the curtain and was about to go out, but was held back by Li Huowang.
"I'll serve it myself. Don't touch the fire now, so as not to burn it again."
As Li Huowang got off the carriage, the newly healed blood scabs on his body began to crack and ooze out.
Although it still hurts, after experiencing too much, Li Huowang began to get used to it.
After he got out of the carriage, he realized that it was dark outside. Li Sui was squatting by the campfire, holding a book, and kept drawing something in the air with his ferocious nails.
"Dad? Are you awake?" Li Sui raised his head and looked at Li Huowang.
"How about learning to draw talismans? Yes, study hard."
Li Huowang reached out and patted its head gently, then picked up the bowl on the side with one hand and reached into the pot to scoop out the soup.
But just when he took out a bowl of hot soup, Li Sui stretched his head over and licked it quickly with his tongue.
"What are you doing?" Li Huowang curled his blackened fingers and flicked his hard head hard.
"Dad, can't I eat? I always ate first in the past."
These words made Li Huowang look at Li Sui in front of him. It seemed that the memory and thinking of the steamed buns had also been integrated into Li Sui's mind.
"It's okay, just eat, just eat." Li Huowang put the bowl in front of him.
Looking at Li Sui who was quickly licking the hot soup, Li Huowang said softly: "Li Sui, I was injured so badly and your mother is almost blind. You'd better take care of her on the way ahead."
"Okay, then what should I do?"
"It's really not enough to wash clothes, wash dishes, make a fire, etc., so just collect firewood." Li Huowang said.
"My second mother is doing these things. If I do them, my second mother will have nothing to do."
"Second mother?"
"Well, it's the second lady who likes to wear red hats. I like the second lady. Sometimes we chat quietly."
"We would also go out to catch meat to eat. Once we caught a big piece of meat, we divided the meat into half for each person."
"Er God... When did her relationship with Li Sui become so good?" After Li Huowang thought about it carefully, he realized that this was not a bad thing.
"Okay, while your second mother is working, you can help her by the side."
"Well, I understand."
Seeing Li Sui's bloody mouth open and his tongue with black tentacles hanging on the left side, Li Huo smiled knowingly and stretched out his left arm to put its head into his arms and patted it gently.
"Thank you so much when I was in Taolin. If it hadn't been for your help, I would have been a little bit in doubt."
At this time, Li Sui had no time to answer this. When she smelled the familiar smell, she stuck out her tongue and kept licking the charred body of Li Huowang.
"Suisui, is there anything you want to do?" Li Huowang asked softly.
"I want to stay with dad forever."
"You can't stay with me forever. After all, you are my daughter, not a pet."
"It's not okay now, but you will be in the future. Think about it slowly and carefully. When you think about it, tell your father and he will see if he can help you."
"Dad, I don't understand."
"You will understand later. Now bring your mother a bowl of soup and send it over. After eating, we should go to bed. We have to continue our journey tomorrow."
There was nothing to say that night. However, when Li Huowang woke up, he found that the carriage under him was moving, and he seemed to have gotten up late again.
Pushing away Li Sui who was half pressing on him, Li Huowang opened the curtain and poked his head out, only to find that the carriage was in a bustling market.
"It looks like we are entering a city. Which city is this from?"
Li Huowang took out the map and took a look at it, and found that this place was called Linzhang. It was not as big as Shangjing and Yinling, but it could still be considered a big city.
"If we go at the current speed, we can reach Shangjing in ten days at the fastest." Li Huowang used his blackened fingers to draw a shallow black line on the map.
"Senior Brother Li, are you awake? I see you are quite tired. How about we rest here for a few days." Bai Lingmiao suggested.
Looking at her almost completely white eyes, Li Huowang shook his head slightly. "Forget it, I'll change your eyes. Let's go back to Niuxin Village and rest slowly to avoid causing trouble."
Li Huowang said so, and he was prepared to do so, but he didn't look for trouble, but trouble found him.
It was hard for Li Huowang not to notice that kind of upright sight.
As soon as he raised his head, he saw the fat woman he had seen in Taolin before, standing on the third floor of an elegant restaurant, smiling and holding her hands towards him.
"Looks like I still haven't gotten rid of it..."
