CH 38

"Fourth Brother, come in quickly. Where have you been these days? Sixth Sister and I were worried about you, we thought something had happened to you."

Seeing the bare-chested boy supporting Zhao Wu walking inside, Li Huowang lifted his foot to follow. He felt that things were not that simple.

"Why are you back?" When he saw the person who was playing the abacus speak indifferently, Li Huowang knew he was right.

Zhao Wu, who had just been very excited, gradually lost his emotions on his face and said in a trembling voice, "Dad, I was kidnapped with a sack over my head. They took me to a faraway place, and my friends sent me back."

Looking at the several black bamboo hats at the door, Zhao Wu's father impatiently waved his hand and said, "Disperse, disperse! If you block the door like this, how can we do business?"

The other party's attitude made Li Huowang very unhappy. What does your father-son relationship have to do with us outsiders?

He snatched the long sword from Zhao Wu's hand, raised it high, and with a flash of cold light, the sharp blade slashed straight on the wooden cabinet of the other party, almost cutting it in half.

"What are you doing? The headcatcher in town is my relative!" Zhao Wu's father was scared and kept retreating.

Li Huowang took out a couple of silver coins with his right hand, slowly shaved off a small piece along the shining blade in front of him, and then pushed the broken silver to him. "Buy rice!"

In the backyard of the rice shop, Zhao Wu was pouring tea for Li Huowang. "Senior Li, calm down. My dad is just like that. His original intention is actually quite good."

Li Huowang picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp. He didn't care whether he was good or not. He didn't just come here to deliver Zhao Wu.

"These death notes are from the country. Since you're familiar with Jianye City, find a reliable escort and bring them over." Li Huowang pushed seven or eight notes in front of Zhao Wu.

Zhao Wu took them with both hands and nodded solemnly. "Senior Li, rest assured, I will handle these things!"

"Okay, that's it. You stay at home and take care. We're leaving." Li Huowang stood up after speaking.

"Are you leaving so soon? Why don't you come to my house for lunch? I was able to come back alive thanks to everyone's help."

Zhao Wu was obviously a little reluctant. After this separation, he might never see him again.

"Forget it, don't bother." Li Huowang patted Zhao Wu's shoulder. Just based on his father's attitude just now, this meal is probably not going to be peaceful.

"I taught you some characters these days. Remember them, especially your name. Being able to write your own name means you're not illiterate."

Just as Li Huowang finished his last words of advice, a female medicine gatherer covered in long black hair suddenly rushed forward and whispered in his ear in a very low voice, "After you go home, investigate carefully. Maybe you weren't kidnapped, but sold by your father!"

Everyone was silent after hearing this. When Zhao Wu's third brother carried the rice over, Li Huowang waved his hand, had the idiot carry the rice, and left with the others.

Walking on the busy street, Li Huowang and the others were looking for a place to stay.

"Why do you think Zhao Wu was sold by his father?" Li Huowang turned around and asked the woman who had just spoken to Zhao Wu.The woman with hirsutism was very quiet all the way, and usually didn't speak to anyone. Today, she suddenly spoke, which surprised Li Huowang.

"Tigers don't eat their own cubs. He may not be that bad."

As soon as Li Huowang said this, the woman's body began to tremble inexplicably, and she said with a sad voice, "Tigers don't eat their own cubs, but people are more poisonous than tigers! Because I was sold by my parents!"

As soon as she said this, everyone stopped and looked at her in shock.

"Two taels of silver, only two taels of silver! He sold me like livestock! He didn't even look back once."

Feeling the other's pain, Bai Lingmiao walked over and gently hugged her, comforting her by patting her back.

After thinking for a moment, Li Huowang spoke again. "Since he sold you, why would you go back?"

"Go back!" The woman gritted her teeth and growled.

Seeing the rapid rise and fall of her chest due to excitement and the extreme hatred in her voice, Li Huowang immediately guessed that her purpose for going back was probably different from Bai Lingmiao and the others.

"Let's stay at Donglai Inn today." Li Huowang pointed to the sign on the left side of the street with his hand and walked in first.

"Guest, are you here for food or lodging?"

"Lodging. How much for a room?"

"We have three types of rooms: A, B, and C. Room A costs 90 wen with meals included, Room B costs 60 wen without meals, and Room C costs 20 wen but you have to share it with others."

"Sir, there are seven adults and five children in total, twelve people. You can choose four Room B. Our inn is spacious, and three people can sleep in one room. It is safer for two adults to sleep with one child."

"Okay, we'll go with that."

"Okay! Twelve guests, four Room B. Please go upstairs. Be careful on the stairs."

At night, Li Huowang leaned against the window and watched the ancient people walking on the street outside.

After all the rushing, he finally had time to sit down and observe this world that was completely different from his own.

The strong man leading the horse, the scholar holding a fan, the child carrying a lantern, and the hunchbacked vendor carrying food with a carrying pole.

Everything here was so real, but it was so incompatible with himself.

Different faces flashed before his eyes. As he watched, Li Huowang suddenly became dizzy, and the next second his muscles tightened instantly. He saw Yang Na on the street!

Her delicate face was already tear-stained, and her expression was so sad that she couldn't even catch her breath while crying. "Huowang, wake up!"

"Ah!" Scared and sweating all over, Li Huowang quickly stepped back, then quickly leaned forward to look down.

He found that it wasn't his childhood sweetheart Yang Na, but a girl who looked somewhat similar to her.

"Well, I've grown up. If Yang Na really existed, how could she still be a young girl...."

Li Huowang slid down the wall slowly, staring blankly at the wooden beam above. "Is the illusion starting again?"

"Knock, knock." The sound of knocking suddenly came.

"Come in, the door is not locked." Li Huowang thought it was the kid who was staying with him, but it turned out to be Bai Lingmiao.She smiled as she held a lotus leaf package in her hands and handed it to Li Huowang. The lotus leaf was opened, revealing several steaming big buns inside. "Senior Li, are you hungry? Have some buns."

Li Huowang grabbed one and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it loudly.

Bai Lingmiao held the buns and squatted on Li Huowang's left side, quietly watching him. As soon as he finished eating, she immediately handed him a new one.

"This place is quite special. They sell buns even late at night," Li Huowang said.

"Isn't it common to sell buns at night? If it's special, then only a fool would say so. He even dipped the bun in vinegar!" Bai Lingmiao replied.

"Hehe, I don't know who he is, and I've never seen anyone eat like that before."

Suddenly, Li Huowang remembered something while chatting with Bai Lingmiao. "I didn't give you any money. Where did you get the money to buy the buns?"

Bai Lingmiao avoided his gaze, but she put the remaining buns on her lap and then took out several large pieces of silver from her waist, holding them in her hands and handing them to Li Huowang. "Senior Li, I sold the golden anklet. You're working too hard alone, and I can't do anything else to help you except for this."
