After a hard fight, they didn't have much strength left in their bodies.
But if I were to rest here, I would be afraid of freezing to death after falling asleep.
So Lu Zhishen, Wu Zhi, and Shi Jin, at Lin Chong's suggestion, prepared to return to the mountain temple where he had temporarily stayed.
After avoiding tonight's storm and snow, gather your energy and make plans for tomorrow.
But now, the four of them, after the thrilling fight just now, not only felt sore all over, but also felt extremely hungry in their stomachs.
If they didn't eat something to keep out the cold on such a cold day, it's hard to imagine how the four of them would have been frozen in that mountain temple.
So, at Wu Zhi's suggestion, the other three supported each other and walked to the nearest wine shop.
Lin Chong has walked this road to the wine shop many times.
So after a while, I arrived in front of the wine shop.
But by this time, it was already late at night.
The wine shop has also been closed long ago.
When Lin Zhong saw it, he wanted to go back, but was held back by Lu Zhishen beside him.
"It doesn't matter if they close the door, just wake them up."
"No big deal, just give me some more money."
After saying that, he waved his fist as big as a casserole and slammed the door hard.
After a while, a sleepy-eyed boy walked out of the wine shop.
This little guy was disturbed from his sweet dream, and he wanted to curse as soon as he opened the door.
But when he saw clearly the four people standing in front of him, he immediately shut his mouth.
His clothes were in tatters, and there were large blood stains all over them.
As long as he wasn't stupid, he could guess what these people had just experienced.
So right now, the expression on his face is extremely flattering.
"The guests are so excited to come here so early."
"I wonder what the guests would like to eat?"
As soon as the man finished speaking, Wu Zhi came to him.
Then he took out two ingots of silver and put them in his hands.
The little guy first felt his hands heavy, and then felt happy in his heart.
When he looked at the hand, his eyes suddenly widened.
Because those two ingots of silver amounted to fifty taels.
Just now, this guy was somewhat complaining. If it weren't for the four of them, who looked fierce and had blood stains on their bodies, they would have said harsh words to each other.
But now, he no longer had any complaints in his heart.
"My dear guests, just tell me what you want to eat or drink. There is nothing a villain can't do."
Wu Zhi frowned and thought for a while.
"Please ask the store owner to prepare ten pounds of beef, six jars of fine wine, a large pot, four bowls, a fire dumpling, and four sets of clean cotton clothes for us."
After hearing this, the waiter nodded repeatedly, turned around and went to the back hall.
In a short time, all the things Wu Zhi requested were ready.
Wu Zhi took those things in his hands, then looked at the little boy and smiled lightly.
"You've been sleeping in your room all night. You haven't seen anyone, and we haven't been here, right?"
The young boy's face was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at Wu Zhi in surprise.
Immediately afterwards, an extremely flattering smile filled his face.
"Yes, yes, the guest officer is right, I didn't see anything today."
Then Wu Zhi and his party of four left here.
On the road.
The wind was howling and the blizzard was getting bigger and bigger.
The four of them were not in good condition to begin with, and the wind and snow were getting heavier now.
Therefore, the speed of the four people walking while supporting each other inevitably slowed down.
By the time they arrived at the mountain temple where Lin Chong had taken shelter from the wind and snow, it was already an hour later.
Wu Zhi first found some hay in the house, and then picked up some dry sticks.
Seeing that there was still not enough firewood, he took off a piece of the door panel and used it to make a fire.
Shi Jin, on the other hand, held the big iron pot, scooped out half the pot of snow and brought it in.
Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong took out the packaged beef.
After the snow melts, put the beef into the pot.
At this moment, he was looking at the beef churning in the pot and holding a large bowl filled with wine in his hand.
Wu Zhi, Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen and Shi Jin drank it all in one gulp.
It was only at this moment that the four of them felt the long-lost warmth.
Listening to the biting cold wind howling outside.
Looking out the window, heavy snowflakes like goose feathers were flying.
Savor the warm feeling emanating from the bonfire under the pot in the house.
The four people suddenly relaxed and felt comfortable smiles on their faces.
Lin Chong filled a bowl of wine for himself, and then raised the bowl above his chest.
Looking at the three saviors sitting opposite, they looked excited and spoke sincerely.
"I, Lin Chong, encountered a catastrophe this time. It was only thanks to the great help of my three brothers that I survived."
"I won't say thank you for your kindness. If some brothers can use me, Lin Chong, in the future, it doesn't matter. Lin Chong will never frown."
Lu Zhishen, who was sitting next to him, frowned.
"Brother, what are you talking about?"
"Besides, none of the people sitting here are outsiders!"
"The man sitting opposite me is Shi Dalang from Shijiacun, nicknamed Jiu Wenlong."
"I met you two or three years ago."
"We had the same temperament, and we became sworn brothers."
"The person sitting opposite you is named Wu Zhi. Although he has no reputation in the world, he is extremely brave and resourceful."
"Back then, after you and I parted ways in the Wild Boar Forest, I followed your instructions and went to Tokyo to take care of Mrs. Lin."
"But as soon as I returned to Tokyo, I was discovered by Gao Qiu's bird-man, Zhu Ya, who sent more than twenty people to surround me under the walls of Tokyo City."
"Thanks to Brother Wu Zhi's heroic action, we were able to kill all those people."
"Speaking of which, I still owe Brother Wu Zhi a favor."
As Lu Zhishen spoke, he smiled generously.
He picked up the wine bowl in his hand and offered it to Wu Zhi.
"Today, the Sa family will borrow flowers to offer to Buddha, and use this bowl of wine to thank Brother Wu Zhi."
After speaking, he drank it all in one gulp.
Wu Zhi waved his hand very casually, indicating that these were nothing.
When Lin Chong heard that Lu Zhishen mentioned his wife, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
So he quickly asked Lu Zhishen.
"I wonder how my wife is doing now?"
"When you went to Tokyo City, could you see her?"
"To be honest, brother, I have been having nightmares every day these days, and what I dream about are..."
Lin Chong was talking but couldn't continue.
Lu Zhishen saw that the more he talked, the more miserable he became, so he gently patted Lin Chong's shoulder with his hand.
"Brother, don't be like this. Speaking of this, you have to give brother Wuzhi a bowl of wine!"
