Chapter 120 Leaving Xucheng [It’s the end of the month, please vote for me!]
[I have something to do today, only two updates]
They traveled for a day or two before arriving in Xucheng.
Fortunately, the robbers did not steal any property when they were caught out.
When the guards left, they didn't care about their lives, so naturally they couldn't take their belongings.
This also gave Lin Yuren and his daughter enough money to stay in the hotel.
"Xiao Hei, I see you just fell from upstairs, are you okay?" Lin Qingya asked again with concern.
Wang Xiaohei shook his head when he heard this, then turned around and walked into the inn.
After Wang Xiaohei entered the inn, he went up to the second floor.
Because the door to Uncle Jiu's room was closed, Wang Xiaohei could only go in through the window.
As soon as they entered the window sill, they saw Lin Yuren and Lin Qingya walking out of the inn.
"Hey, didn't they want to stay in a hotel? Why did they leave?"
Wang Xiaohei was wondering. Suddenly, he remembered that it seemed that all the empty rooms in this inn had been booked by Marshal Xu.
Uncle Jiu was still sleeping, but Wang Xiaohei couldn't sleep.
He came to the bed, jumped on it, and pawed at Uncle Jiu.
Uncle Jiu woke up immediately after being pulled.
"Xiao Hei, are you hungry? I'm going to ask the inn to prepare something to eat."
Uncle Jiu got up, put on his shoes and hurried downstairs.
Not long after, Uncle Jiu came up, holding a tray with some porridge, side dishes, flatbreads and fried dough sticks on it.
"The kitchen is cooking, let's have some porridge first." Uncle Jiu put the tray on the table.
Wang Xiaohei ran over immediately and started eating.
Uncle Jiu also sat aside, taking a bowl of porridge and a plate of side dishes to eat.
Half an hour later, Wang Xiaohei finished the last plate of sauced pork.
"Hiccup!" Wang Xiaohei burped and rubbed his bulging belly with a look of enjoyment on his face.
The feeling of being full is so comfortable.
"Have you finished eating? Then let's go, and we'll be delayed for a day." Uncle Jiu stood up and picked up the salute.
Seeing this, Wang Xiaohei nodded and went downstairs with Uncle Jiu.
When he got downstairs, Uncle Jiu went to the shopkeeper to check out and settle the bill for the meal Wang Xiaohei had just eaten.
Uncle Jiu had already taken out Dayang, but he saw the shopkeeper waving his hands and saying: "Taoist Master, the Marshal has already given you the money. If you want to leave, just leave."
"Have you given me any money? What about the food money? Is five oceans enough?" Uncle Jiu said.
"No, no, the commander-in-chief said that all the Taoist priest's expenses will be counted on him," the shopkeeper said.
Hearing this, Uncle Jiu nodded and went straight out of the inn with Wang Xiaohei without trying to force him to give him any money.
He is not that kind of pedantic person, not to mention, he saved Dashuai Xu's life last night, so this little profit is nothing.
Uncle Jiu took Wang Xiaohei around the busy market.
I bought a lot of dried meat, flatbreads, and pastries that can be stored for many days.
Packages of all sizes were hung all over Uncle Jiu's body.
Although there were a lot of things, Uncle Jiu still walked quickly.
Not long after, they left the city and headed towards Yizhuang.
When they arrived at the Yizhuang, Master Qinghai happened to be walking out of the Yizhuang.
"You came just in time. Did you bring anything to eat? I'm going to starve to death."
Master Qinghai was now covered in bandages all over his body, with his head exposed.
There was no way, Master Qinghai was bitten by the Demon Infant in many places last night. After applying the medicine, the bandages couldn't be used anymore, and he finally turned into this mummy-like existence.
"I brought pastries and flatbreads," Uncle Jiu said.
"Okay, you guys have helped me a lot." Master Qinghai was overjoyed.
After several people entered, Uncle Jiu put the things on the ground, then took out some food and handed it to Master Qinghai.
Qinghai took the big cake and started eating it.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, are you ready to leave?" Master Qinghai asked.
"Yes, we have been delayed here for a day and need to set off as soon as possible." Uncle Jiu nodded.
"Oh, then if you want to leave, you should leave as soon as possible, otherwise, you will be in a lot of trouble when Marshal Xu returns to the city." Master Qinghai said.
"Oh? Why?" Uncle Jiu asked.
It stands to reason that they rescued Marshal Xu yesterday, would that guy retaliate and cause trouble for them?
"Marshuai Xu wishes that Fellow Daoist Lin would leave, but Marshal Xu now wishes he could worship fellow Taoist Brother Lin as his ancestor and will not let him go easily." Master Qinghai said.
"With the strength of the little black Taoist friend, it is indeed easy to leave, but it will always be very troublesome." Master Qinghai said.
"You're right, Xiao Hei, let's leave now." Uncle Jiu agreed upon hearing this and stood up immediately.
Their horses were tied in the backyard of Yizhuang.
Soon, Uncle Jiu tied all the big and small bags to the horse.
Uncle Jiu got on his horse and said to Wang Xiaohei: "Xiaohei, come up."
As he said that, he also took a piece of cloth, ready to wrap Wang Xiaohei and carry it behind his back.
Seeing this, Wang Xiaohei shook his head and carved on the ground: "I'll go by myself."
Just kidding, riding on a horse was so bumpy and uncomfortable that he didn't want to ride a horse.
Besides, Wang Xiaohei's speed is not slower than that of a horse, and his physical strength and endurance are much stronger than that of a horse. Wouldn't it be better to run by himself, and he can still move around and exercise his body.
When Uncle Jiu saw this, he didn't say anything. He took a wooden stick and hit the horse on the butt: "Drive!"
"Fellow Daoist Lin, walk slowly and come often when you have time." Master Qinghai shouted while eating big cakes.
"Little black Taoist friend, you come here often. It would be great if you could give me some blood." Master Qinghai said this with a bit of pity on his face.
Just now, while Uncle Jiu was moving things, he asked Xiao Hei for some spiritual blood.
Wang Xiaohei naturally refused sternly.
Wang Xiaobai glanced at Master Qinghai, then used all his strength to catch up quickly.
…
"Drive! Drive!"
Uncle Jiu kept beating the horse and kept shouting.
The speed of the horses also became faster and faster, eventually maintaining a high speed.
Wang Xiaohei hung behind, always keeping a certain distance from Uncle Jiu, neither fast nor slow.
Uncle Jiu’s destination is Chang City.
Chang City is the provincial capital of Xi Province.
Only in Changshi is there a train to the next station.
Although there are cities with train stations nearby, they are either not convenient or do not know when the next train will arrive.
After all, the last time the robbers robbed the road, they blew up all the railway tracks. It’s unclear when they will be repaired and opened to traffic.
Therefore, we can only rush to Changshi directly.
Fortunately, it only took a long day for them to take the train, and they were only a few hundred kilometers away from Chang City.
It should arrive tomorrow.
In this way, Wang Xiaohei ran continuously for a full hour.
Suddenly, Wang Xiaohei saw Uncle Jiu slowing down in front of him.
Wang Xiaohei immediately slowed down and jumped down from the tree.
After a while, Uncle Jiu stopped.
He said: "We have been walking for an hour. Let's stop for a rest and drink some water."
"Wang~~Okay, I happen to be thirsty too." Wang Xiaohei responded.
He had eaten a lot in the morning and was not hungry yet, but the sun was very bright and he had been running for an hour, which made him sweat a little and he needed to replenish water.
"Xiao Hei, look around to see if there is any water source nearby." Uncle Jiu said.
They only brought food, but they forgot to bring water.
However, it doesn't hurt. After all, the nearby provinces have a rainy climate, and you can see a water source at a distance.
When Wang Xiaohei heard this, he nodded, then sniffed, and immediately jumped sideways into the forest.
When Uncle Jiu saw this, he naturally urged his horse to follow.
After only four or five minutes, the view suddenly became clearer, and there was a small pool in front of us.
At this moment, Wang Xiaohei had already jumped into the pool, drank big gulps of water, and swam to enjoy the coolness.
When Uncle Jiu saw this, he smiled, dismounted, and untied the two ropes.
Those things immediately fell from the horse's body.
The weight on the horse suddenly decreased a lot, and he snorted happily.
It seemed that I had been running for a long time, and when I came to the edge of the pond, I drank a lot of water.
Uncle Jiu did not drink water immediately, but looked around and finally cut down a bamboo.
Take off a section and make a bamboo tube.
After fetching a bottle of water from the pond, he drank it all in one gulp.
Later, Uncle Jiu fetched another bottle of water, filled it with a stopper, and then came to the shade of a tree and sat down to rest.
The horse came to the side at some point, lying on its side on the ground, and eating the grass on the ground.
Obviously, the horse was also tired and did not forget to eat while resting.
At this moment, Wang Xiaohei was lying on the water with his feet in the air, his eyes slightly squinted, and his face looked comfortable.
Not long after, Wang Xiaohei actually fell asleep.
Uncle Jiu moved his eyes away from Wang Xiaohei and looked at the horse on one side.
The horse's eyes were almost closed at this moment, but it was still eating grass.
Seeing this, Uncle Jiu smiled and shook his head.
This horse is worthy of being the master's mount. It is strong and full of energy.
However, after all, it is still a horse. After running for a while, it needs to take a rest.
Unlike cars or trains, there is no need to rest at all.
"It's almost noon again. I don't know if these things I brought are enough for Xiao Hei to have a meal." Uncle Jiu glanced at the sky and sighed.
Xiao Hei is good at everything, but he eats too much. It's okay in the city, as long as he spends money.
It's really troublesome in the wild.
At this moment, Uncle Jiu felt that Wencai and Qiu Sheng should be brought along.
At least, after taking them with him, he doesn't have to worry about eating.
Just thinking about it, Uncle Jiu leaned against the tree and fell asleep.
…
I don’t know how much time passed.
"roar!"
Suddenly, a roar came from far away.
The horse, which was sleeping soundly, was instantly awakened and stood up immediately.
It can be seen that the horse is extremely panicked now and is even more anxious and wants to escape.
Unfortunately, he was tied to the tree and couldn't break free.
Uncle Jiu also woke up at this moment. He first looked into the pond and found that Wang Xiaohei was still floating on the pond, with his eyes closed, sleeping soundly.
