After looking at the ingots of silver in Bai Lingmiao's hand, Li Huowang reached into his arms and took out a piece of silver and stacked it on top.
Before Li Huowang could speak, Bai Lingmiao quickly said, "That gold bracelet has melted. I saw it melted with my own eyes. It can't be redeemed."
Looking at Li Huowang who was stunned with his mouth open, Bai Lingmiao smiled proudly, feeling like she had won. She took the silver in her hand and stuffed it into the other person's arms.
"Don't worry, that bracelet was originally given to me by my mother for personal use, it's not a family heirloom."
Seeing that Bai Lingmiao had reached this point, Li Huowang no longer insisted. He carefully counted the money and put it away. "When everything is settled, I will buy you a bigger one."
"Yes! I'll wait!" Bai Lingmiao smiled and nodded.
At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and Gou Wa walked in from the outside. He was stunned when he saw the two men and women squatting in the corner, and then walked out. "I saw the wrong guest room. I'm really sorry. I
Get out now."
Bai Lingmiao blushed and rushed to the door, pushed him away and ran away.
Gou Wa walked in with a smile, "Senior Brother Li, even though Junior Sister Bai is white all over, when it comes to finding a wife, appearance is not important, temperament is important, so don't dislike her."
Li Huowang was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. "Stop talking nonsense, wash up and go to sleep. It's hard to find a bed to sleep on."
In a daze, Li Huowang found himself in an old forest. There was a dim light source in front of him. Confused, he split the branches with his sword and rushed towards the fire ahead.
When he got closer, Li Huowang discovered that it was Bai Lingmiao and the others, following his mother and Yang Na, roasting dried sweet potatoes around the campfire.
Seeing this heartwarming scene, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and was about to walk over there.
However, suddenly the world suddenly changed, and Li Huowang found Danyangzi, who was hundreds of feet tall, with three heads and a body covered with feathers, standing there like a huge mountain.
"Hahaha, baby, you did a good job. I brought you all the medicine."
The terrifying Danyangzi finished speaking with a laugh, raised the stone pillar in his hand that was longer than his height, and smashed it hard towards the bonfire at his feet.
"Wait!!" Li Huowang, who was covered in cold sweat, sat up suddenly. After taking a few deep breaths, he was so shocked that he realized that everything just now was just a dream.
"Senior Brother Li, are you awake? I specially bought some flat food for you, eat it while it's hot." Gouwa, who was watching the excitement, retracted his head from the window.
"What time is it now?" Li Huowang sat down at the table, covering his aching head, and found that the food in his mouth was wontons.
"It's just past Chen hour. It's okay to sleep late. Anyway, we don't have to rush today."
He picked up the ceramic spoon and stuffed the wontons into his mouth with big mouthfuls. After a few times, he finished eating. "Who said there is nothing to do today? Let's go and buy the things we need on our way."
Immediately after the dream just flashed through his mind, Li Huowang said again: "I will take others to buy those. Ask Lu Zhuangyuan when he can leave. The sooner the better. If he can't leave, then
Let’s leave early.”
Li Huowang still had money left from buying the donkey cart, and with the extra money Bai Lingmiao gave him, he could replenish some necessary supplies.
At the very least, you need a quilt and mat, so you don't have to sit by the campfire at night with your back feeling hot and your chest feeling cold.
In addition, you can also buy a hotpot so that you can have some hot food on the road instead of eating dry food every day.
There were so many scattered things that one donkey cart was not enough. When he and Lu Zhuangyuan met at the city gate, there was already another donkey cart.
"Hey, my little Daoist is very capable. Along the way, I have been accumulating more and more belongings. I guess if I wait for you to go for another six months or a year, you will probably be rich." Lu Zhuangyuan, who was on his way, did not forget to continue.
Flattery.
"Captain Lu, is it far from Jianye to Xijing City?" Li Huowang asked, looking at the spacious dirt road in front of him.
The road was wider and there were more people on it. Not only he and Lu Zhuangyuan's two groups of people were on the road, but there were also many people carrying baggage and rushing together. It seemed that they were all going to Xijing City.
"It's not far. We'll be there in another ten days or so." Lu Zhuangyuan thought of something happy and smiled broadly.
Li Huowang nodded and continued to ask: "About the monk temple you mentioned, apart from their prowess in begging for children, how much else do you know?"
"Hey, a monk's temple is just a monk's temple. What's the difference? Which monk's temple doesn't have a group of old monks and a group of young monks eating fast and chanting Buddha's name?"
Li Huowang sighed lightly. It seemed that he had to go to the door to inquire about this kind of thing in person. Ordinary people like Lu Zhuangyuan lived in confusion and had no idea about this matter at all.
"Little Taoist Master, look at the monk in front of you. Look at the one peeing under the tree. If you ask me, you might as well ask him. Maybe he is the monk in the monk's temple."
"Oh?" Li Huowang looked up and found a bald monk standing on the roadside.
When he walked over, he saw the back of a monk wearing tattered robes trembling and turning around.
However, when he saw this guy's face, Li Huowang frowned immediately.
He was said to be a monk, but he looked more like an old beggar with a shaved head. He looked as shabby as possible, and the monk's robes all over his body were covered in puddings and tears.
"Amitabha, you have a problem with me." The dirty old man grinned, showing his yellow teeth without any front teeth and smiled naively.
"Are you...a monk?"
"Yes, I am a monk!" The old monk said somewhat, holding up the string of Buddhist beads threaded with fruit cores around his neck.
"May I ask, Master, which temple are you a senior monk in?" Li Huowang's voice already contained a hint of hesitation.
"I don't have a temple. Why don't I go to the north to find one? I heard that there are many monk temples there, and they can also take care of the food. I plan to go there and become a monk."
Hearing what the other party said, Li Huowang suddenly had a suspicion in his mind. He nodded to him nonchalantly and turned back to his team.
But when Li Huowang didn't intend to pay attention to this old beggar pretending to be a monk, the other party stuck on him like a piece of cowhide plaster.
"Are you also looking for a monk's temple? Then let's go together. But aren't you a Taoist priest? Taoist priests don't believe in Buddha, right?"
"Isn't this guy pretending to be a pig like me to eat the tiger?" Li Huowang began to be wary. He slapped the donkey on the butt and walked quickly with the others, pretending that he didn't exist.
But he didn't pay attention, but someone was paying attention. The simple fool in his heart didn't feel that anything was wrong.
"You didn't bring...you didn't bring...food, you would starve to death!"
"How could you starve to death? You see there is everything in the forest, including wild fruits, mushrooms and vegetables."
"I also... I also... ate wild fruits...! I also... I also..."
"Idiot, don't talk to him!"
"oh......."
When no one paid attention to him and the old beggar left boringly, Li Huowang, who secretly held the bell, breathed a sigh of relief.
Regardless of whether he is really stupid or pretending to be stupid, in this weird place, you must be on guard against others.
After walking along this dirt road for an hour, the sun hung in the middle of the sky and he saw many people squatting down to eat dry food. Li Huowang also asked others to do the same.
Although he began to feel anxious, it was safer to have more people.
The newly bought white steamed buns were delivered to everyone, and they ate lunch with a few pickle jars.
After taking Bai Lingmiao's water hyacinth and taking a sip, Li Huowang looked back and suddenly realized that one person was missing. "Huh? Where's the fool?"
"I just went to the forest to pee, why haven't I come back yet? Did I turn to shit in the middle of peeing? Hey!! Idiot! Are you in there!!"
When Gouwa shouted to the woods on the roadside, the fool's big and honest head came out of the woods. His mouth was bulging as if he was chewing something.
"What are you eating?" Li Huowang asked doubtfully.
"The wild... wild... wild white rice in the forest, no... no... no money!" The fool said and retreated into the forest.
