In the small town at the foot of Henghua Mountain, Li Huowang was walking forward with a group of people. It seemed that the steamed buns had seen so many people for the first time, and they were pressed tightly against Li Huowang's legs.
After a long journey, everyone was tired and needed a good rest.
Although Anci'an is right in front of him, Li Huowang is not as anxious now as before.
When the oppressive feeling of being replaced by Dan Yangzi at any time disappeared, he could finally relax appropriately.
Li Huowang looked around with his tired eyes.
The small town at the foot of the mountain is still the same as before. It may be an important transportation area. Although it is not a market day, the people on the road are very lively.
The only difference is that there are more beggars squatting in the corner.
When the ragged beggars saw Li Huowang's group, especially the three carriages, they quickly came over, raised the broken bowl in their hands to Li Huowang, and began to sing a jingle.
"Look, look, here is a poor beggar here. Great sir, please be kind and pity me, a poor man. Give me a steamed bun and some soup. I wish you a long life and good health..."
With a sound of "Qiang!", the long sword was unsheathed, and the beggars immediately dispersed.
"Three!"
There was a crisp sound of "pop", which made Li Huowang subconsciously look over there.
"Bump! Sixty thousand~"
"Oh, what kind of hand is this? It's nine cakes again."
"Hey~ Yaoji! Haha! Find out for yourself~ Hahaha, give me money, give me money!"
The lively Bird House was very lively, with almost no seats occupied. The dice and mahjong were constantly clashing, and everyone was concentrating on having fun.
"Oh, it turns out we are playing mahjong." Li Huowang turned around and continued walking forward.
After walking a few steps, Li Huowang arrived at the old inn where he had stayed before. After crossing the threshold, he said to the waiter who came up to him: "We want to stay in the hotel and also cook. Tell the cook behind to bring some hard dishes, but not
Pork."
"Hey~~Okay~Please come in, guest~"
"Senior Brother Li, although we are rich in money, we can only go out but not in. How about saving a little bit." Bai Lingmiao obviously complained about Li Huowang's generosity.
Sitting at the top of the Eight Immortals table, Li Huowang took a sip of tea from the waiter and said, "It's okay. Let's celebrate. We don't eat like this every day."
"You still have the nerve to eat! You are worse than a beast! Have you ever thought that when you were enjoying yourself, those people were killed by you! Why don't you die!!"
Facing Jiang Yingzi's unwarranted abuse, Li Huowang remained calm and continued to say to the others: "When you finish eating, you can just wait here. Anci'an is also dirty. I'll be down soon."
At the beginning, it was still very difficult for him to accept the sudden appearance of two people around him.
But as they get along day and night, Li Huowang has completely adapted to a long-dead ghost screaming in his ears.
All Jiang Yingzi could do was curse constantly, which could not affect Li Huowang too much.
Compared with Jiang Yingzi, Danyangzi has been standing in the distance and staring at him eerily.
After some simple tests, Li Huowang discovered that these two people were indeed just fantasies and could not really affect him.
He doesn't know how long this situation can last, or whether someone else will appear in the future. But compared to being replaced by Danyangzi, the current situation seems not so difficult to accept.
"Hehe~ The dishes are here~ Qinglong goes to the sea~! Two dragons play with pearls~! Three Yangs are prosperous~! Fulu Donghai~! Dear guests, please wait~ Other delicacies will be here later~"
Lu Xiucai, who kept swallowing his saliva, was just about to move his chopsticks when he was knocked down by Lu Zhuangyuan's cigarette pole. He smiled flatteringly at Li Huowang. "Little Daoist, you move your chopsticks first. You have worked hard along the way. This table of dishes
It’s our pleasure.”
Li Huowang glanced at him in surprise, not bothering to waste time on such trivial matters, so he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
I don’t know why, but Li Huowang always feels that the Lu family class seems more restrained in front of him.
After traveling outside for many years, everyone has a big appetite. Coupled with the two big eaters Bai Lingmiao and Gao Zhijian, a large table of dishes and two buckets of rice were all eaten quickly. The steamed buns are not hungry, and all the bones that cannot be chewed belong to it.
After drinking and eating, Li Huowang picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then stood up, picked up his things and walked out of the inn.
"I'm leaving. I should be able to come down before dark."
The steamed bun squatted under the table and was gnawing on the bones. He followed up with the bones in his mouth.
As soon as Li Huowang left, Lu Juren put down the clean dishes and chopsticks in his hands, walked up to Lu Zhuangyuan and coughed lightly, "Dad, come here."
When they came to the deserted stable behind the inn, the nervous Lu Juren leaned against the black horse who was eating beans and asked in a very low voice: "Dad~! Why don't we leave! Are you really planning to do that?"
Keep following him! You forgot him---"
At this point, he looked around and found no one else, then continued to lower his voice and said: "Have you forgotten what they said that night? That's not a master! That's a monster! His robe was dyed red with human blood.
Yes! Are you really afraid that one day he will eat us all?"
Lu Zhuangyuan, who had a wrinkled face, took out the cigarette stick stuck in the back of his neck, lit it, and took a nice puff. "Perhaps... the little Daoist has some troubles?"
"What's the point of doing something like that?! Oh my god, you must be so confused!"
"Hey~! I'm looking for a fight, right? Who are you calling me stupid!!"
Facing the cigarette pole raised by Lu Zhuangyuan, Lu Juren, who had always been honest and honest, rarely evaded, but stubbornly stared at his father in front of him.
"Let's forget it! Where is Xiu? What about your granddaughter Xiu'er? Storytellers have said it! Demons like to eat boys and girls the most! Can you bear to put Xiu'er in danger?"
Hearing this, Lu Zhuangyuan rarely refuted anything, but took another deep breath, and the lit tobacco in the pipe suddenly lit up.
"Son, of course I know what you're talking about, but along the way, haven't you seen anything wrong?"
"I know what's going on. At first, there were just a lot of people begging for food on the roadside. It didn't seem like much, but soon people will be selling their sons and daughters, and the world will be in chaos."
"Now that we are escaping on our own, it is a delicious food that anyone can take a bite of. If we follow the little Taoist, at least ordinary thieves will not be able to get in."
"Your father has been alive for these decades, and he is still very accurate in judging people. The little Taoist master is not that kind of evil person. Although he has great magical powers, his mind is not that mature, and he cannot do anything that is unscrupulous."
"But..."
"Nothing to worry about, just leave it like this. I see that your wife didn't eat much just now. This is not like her. She has been vomiting recently. Take her to see the doctor to see if she is pregnant."<
