When Li Huowang, who had a headache, opened his eyes again, he found himself lying in a small tent with Bai Lingmiao, who was only wearing a bellyband, sitting next to him and silently combing her hair with a horn comb.
Li Huowang reached out and pulled her over, holding her in his arms.
As soon as Bai Lingmiao began to silently undress, Li Huowang calmly told her about what he had learned last night.
Her shy gaze was gradually replaced by shock and disgust. What Sun Huowang's mother had experienced was beyond her imagination. They were all human, how could someone do such a thing?
Li Huowang's nail-less hand supported Bai Lingmiao's shoulder. "It seems that Liangguo is not that great either." He sighed.
"But...but there are no such things in our place...our hometown is fine." Bai Lingmiao's voice was weak.
Li Huowang smiled. Of course, that was how Bai Lingmiao saw it. Most of the common people's world was too small, so small that they lived within a twenty-li radius their whole life. They were ignorant and naive, and had no concept of other places.
He also knew that it was too arbitrary to judge the entire Liangguo based on Sun Baolu's mother's experience alone. Perhaps it was just an isolated case.
But Li Huowang always thought of the worst-case scenario when thinking about things. In order to survive in this world, he had to be prepared.
Li Huowang hugged Bai Lingmiao and buried his nose in her smooth neck, taking a deep breath. "It's okay, I didn't say we won't go back. Listen to what you hear but see for yourself. After we see the specific situation in Liangguo, we can make plans."
Upon hearing this, Bai Lingmiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. She almost thought Li Huowang wouldn't go home with her.
"Let's get up. Since Sun Baolu has already gone home and had his fill of food and drink, we should continue on our way." Li Huowang patted her and said.
Although this place was nice, there was no need to stay in Qingqiu Rest Area, which still had hidden dangers. They could rest enough when they reached their destination.
When the two of them came out of the tent, they found that everyone else had already woken up. After a night of drinking, they had obviously become close to the other Qingqiu people. They even linked arms when they went to wash by the river.
They were saying something to each other, but they clearly didn't understand each other's language.
The morning air was fresh, and Li Huowang's spirits were lifted as he took a deep breath in front of the tent.
Looking at everything around him, even his mood became a little better.
Li Huowang looked around and finally fixed his gaze on Sun Baolu. He had gotten up early despite drinking so much last night and was driving some sheep toward his flock.
"What are you doing? There's no need to send us more sheep. We probably won't be able to finish all these sheep when we get to our destination." Li Huowang walked over to him and said.
After returning home, Sun Baolu seemed to have become more cheerful, and he smiled brightly at Li Huowang. "It's okay. If you can't finish them, you can sell them. Qingqiu's sheep are valuable when transported to Liangguo. Consider it as an advance gift for you and Miss Bai."
As soon as Sun Baolu finished speaking, he found that Li Huowang was ignoring him. Instead, Li Huowang's eyes were unfocused, and his body was swaying, his face also becoming very ugly.
"Not good!" Li Huowang suddenly squatted down and hugged his head tightly, which frightened Sun Baolu."Baolu! Hurry! Go ask Gao Zhijian to bring the chain over! Tie me up! They're coming again!" Li Huowang shouted in pain.
Hearing Li Huowang's words, Sun Baolu immediately knew that his senior brother had another episode and quickly threw away the whip he was using to drive the goats and ran towards the distant cowhide tent.
When he returned with a group of fellow disciples, panting heavily, he saw Li Huowang standing in the same spot, looking up and talking to himself. "Wang Wei, I have nothing to say to you. Just go."
"I know what I'm doing, and don't try to provoke me. Someone has already tried that on me, and it didn't work."
When the others didn't know what to do, Li Huowang seemed to know they were there and spoke calmly. "Did you bring the chain? If you did, stop wasting time and tie me up. I'll try not to move."
"After you tie me up, pack our things and let's leave after breakfast."
Upon hearing Li Huowang's orders, the others suddenly snapped out of their daze and rushed to tie him up with the chain.
When he was tied up, and after what happened last time, the others didn't dare to be careless and quickly moved away.
"Ha, who am I talking to? It's none of your business! They're coming again? Okay, you want to play tough with me? If you're capable, kill me today, or get lost!"
After saying this, Li Huowang suddenly quieted down. Just when the others thought it was over, he suddenly let out a roar that startled them. "Do you want to die? I'm mentally ill! Killing someone is not a crime!"
Theft is never good, try looking at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.
Li Huowang, who was tied up tightly, suddenly stood up like a zombie, which made the onlookers retreat in fear.
As they gradually realized that something was wrong, other Qingqiu people gathered around, and Sun Baolu explained what had happened to Li Huowang over and over again.
Hundreds of people formed a circle and silently watched Li Huowang's performance in the middle. He had just been furious, but now he had a different expression, full of deep helplessness and irritation.
"Mom? Why are you here? I was just angry earlier. I didn't really want to kill anyone. Sigh... don't cry. My condition hasn't really worsened."
As if hearing something, Li Huowang's expression gradually changed from helplessness and irritation to pain. He slowly curled up on the ground as much as possible.
"Mom, please, let Dr. Wang go. I really don't need treatment. I know my own business. Don't waste money on experts. Keep it for yourself."
Seeing Li Huowang's breathing become more rapid and his expression more painful, Bai Lingmiao, who was biting her lip, wanted to go and hug him, but Luo Juanhua and Chun Xiaoman pulled her away.
"Do you want to die? Li Senior Brother can kill you with just a finger now!"
After that, Li Huowang seemed to be listening to something. In pain, he turned around like a worm on the ground, rubbing his face against the grass, tears mixing with the dew on the grass, unable to distinguish between the two.
"Mom, do we need money at home? If we do, just tell me, and I'll figure something out."
"Don't lie to me. You cut your own hair with scissors. I can tell..."Suddenly, Li Huowang sprang up from the ground and roared fiercely at the air, "Wang Wei! Shut up! This has nothing to do with you!"
