Looking at the six taels of silver, Li Huowang didn't bother to shirk it. He stretched out his hand and stuffed it into his arms. He really needed the money now.
"Well, little Daoist, please eat slowly while we prepare. We will continue our journey tomorrow."
After eating and drinking, the Lu family were also sleepy and wanted to go back to catch up on their sleep. After all, they didn't sleep all night last night.
After the Lu family left, Li Huowang was the only one in the whole house. He looked at the roast chicken in front of him that was bigger than his head and thought for a while, then said to the servants on the side: "Is there anything to pretend?"
Not long after, Li Huowang led a donkey out of Wuligang. Behind the donkey was a cart, which was filled with bags of grain.
Although six taels of silver is not much, you should use it sparingly, but if you can't afford a horse, you can still buy an old donkey.
With this thing, at least there is no need to carry food and other things along the way.
When Li Huowang came out, he saw that other people were still nesting in the rice straw in the field.
They did not enter the village, obviously because they were afraid that their strange appearance would scare the villagers.
After walking over, Li Huowang found that they were roasting sweet potatoes over the fire.
Li Huowang reached out and lifted it from the car, and he pulled out a fragrant roast chicken. "Eat this."
A group of people had eaten dry food for so many days, but when they saw this thing, they still couldn't bear it, so they rushed over excitedly.
A dozen or so people shared a chicken. Each person couldn't share much, but everyone gnawed very seriously. Even the chicken bones were carefully bitten into pieces, put into their mouths and swallowed.
"Brother Li, where did this chicken come from? And this donkey cart, where did you go last night?" Bai Lingmiao asked, holding the chicken's neck in both hands.
Li Huowang sat on a pile of rice straw with his eyes closed and briefly described the cause and process.
When she learned that Li Huowang had worked hard to get this thing, Bai Lingmiao put down the chicken neck in her hand. She listened to the voice and crawled to Li Huowang, looking at him with a distressed expression.
"Senior Brother Li, I'm sorry, it's us who are dragging you down. If it weren't for us, you wouldn't have to work so hard."
Li Huowang opened his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him who covered her eyes with a blue cloth, "It has nothing to do with you. Since that thing can come to the Hu family ancestral hall, it must have been targeting us. Even if it hadn't happened last night, it would have happened sooner or later.
Hit by it."
"Furthermore..." Li Huowang paused as he said this, remembering the time when he completely fell into hallucinations in Qingfeng Temple. "Furthermore, there is really no certainty who will be a burden in the future."
Li Huowang thought for a moment and looked at the girl in front of him again. He reached out and held her hand.
Bai Lingmiao shrank back shyly, but immediately stopped.
But after a while, Li Huowang thought about it again. Lying on the pile of rice straw, he closed his eyes, turned his sight aside, and slowly loosened his clenched hands.
However, the moment he let go, those soft hands quickly chased after him and held him tightly.
After a good night's rest, two groups of people with different purposes set out again.
Their next goal is to build Ye Town, which will also be a large-scale gathering place where Li Huowang enters this world for the first time.
"Little Taoist Master, Wuligang is not far from Jianye Town. According to our itinerary, we will arrive in about four or five days." Lu Zhuangyuan reported to Li Huowang.
Li Huowang turned to look at Zhao Wu, who was being carried by the fool, "How are you? You're going home soon, are you happy?"
Zhao Wu had said before that his family was in Jianye. After getting in touch with him these days, Li Huowang had a preliminary understanding of Zhao Wu.
He felt that the other party's brain was very useful, but because of his physical limitations and lack of literacy, he did not realize his potential.
"Zhao Wu, I'm going to take over your house now. Why, you have to invite us brothers to the restaurant?" Gou Wa teased jokingly from the side.
However, Zhao Wu's reaction was beyond everyone else's expectations. A wry smile appeared on his face, "What if a loser like me goes home? I can't lift my hands or shoulders. I'm just a foodie at home."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere became quiet, and his words touched the hearts of all Yaoyin.
Those who can stay in the food room, except for Li Huowang, have something wrong with them. Even if they return to their original place, they will still be the aliens who are feared or hated by others.
From Qingfeng View, it is very good to have escaped the fear of death, but returning to an environment that is despised and hostile is not something to be happy about.
Feeling that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Li Huowang turned to look at Zhao Wu, "Who said you are a waste? While I have nothing to do during this period, I will teach you alchemy. Memorize as much as you can, and you won't starve to death when you go home and become a barefoot doctor.
."
Zhao Wu was stunned for a moment when he heard the news, and then his expression became excited, his eyes full of strong desire. "Senior Brother Li, I don't want to learn alchemy, can you teach me how to read?"
"Why should we learn to read and learn more elixirs? Wouldn't it be nice to have a meal when we go home to practice medicine?" Li Huowang was somewhat unable to understand the emotions of these local people.
That’s not to say that reading is useless, reading is certainly very useful, but it still takes five years to go to elementary school. Teaching an illiterate person who can’t even write his own name to read is a big project that won’t be completed within a few years.
"It's okay! It doesn't matter if you don't learn much, just learn as much as you can."
Although Li Huowang didn't understand Zhao Wu's desire for knowledge, since he wanted to learn, of course he could teach him.
"Fool, put Zhao Wu on your back on the donkey cart and I will teach him how to read."
Zhao Wu didn't know anything, and Li Huowang could only use simple words like Mukou Man to enlighten him.
While teaching, Li Huowang found that the area was very quiet. He raised his head and found that everyone, including the Lu family, were listening attentively.
They listened intently without speaking, and there was awe on their faces. It was as if Li Huowang was doing something solemn and sacred.
"Hehehe, um, little Taoist master."
The smiling Lu Zhuangyuan was holding two pieces of bacon in one hand and pulling his youngest son towards him with the other.
Just as Li Huowang was waiting for the other party to speak, bursts of dust rose from behind the forest path.
Not long after, a horse stopped in front of them, and jumping off the horse was a fat, young boy.
Lu Zhuangyuan obviously knew this man in Wuligang, and he quickly bowed his hands. "Hey, Master Hu, please slow down, where are you going?"
"I'm not going anywhere! I'm going to sing an opera with you! That way I can listen to the opera every day!"
The excited Master Hu's voice was very childish. Although he looked strong, his voice did not change.
"Ouch, please stop making such jokes and go back quickly. Don't let your grandpa worry."
"Don't worry, I'll give you money for the show!" He forced a longevity lock made of gold into Lu Zhuangyuan's hand.
Lu Zhuangyuan's expression was very complicated at this time, and he was in a dilemma holding the gold in his hand.
But soon, someone chased him on horseback from behind and rescued him.
"Dad! Don't drag me! I won't go back! I want to sing an opera!!"
"Pah~!" The big mouth thrown at Master Hu's face startled everyone around him, and the young man's face quickly swelled up.
"You actually become an actor! You actually dare to become an actor, how cheap are you! That's a very low-class, low-class thing! If you dare to be an actor and embarrass the Hu family, I'll beat you to death!"
Pulling the longevity lock held high in Lu Zhuangyuan's hand, the man carried his son and rode away on two horses.
After he left, Li Huowang looked at Lu Zhuangyuan again, waiting for what he had just finished.
Lu Zhuangyuan stood there awkwardly holding two pieces of bacon. He opened his mouth several times as if he wanted to say something but no sound came out.
The old man, who has always been very tactful, felt helpless like a child for the first time.
In the end, he said nothing, forced a smile and nodded to Li Huowang, and pulled his son towards the carriage next to him. He, who was already a little hunched over, became even more hunched over.
