Chapter 55 Huangquan Inn
Chapter 55 Huangquan Inn
As soon as they left the village, the three of them started walking.
In this day and age, most people actually travel by walking, relying solely on a pair of strong feet.
Of course, because there was an elderly and respected senior like Song Feng among them, Qiu Sheng and Wencai had to take turns pushing the wheelchair.
It's much more tiring to go all the way.
Moreover, few people on the road basically go into the town, and most of them take the more unobstructed paths.
If there is no water, find a stream to fill up.
When it’s time to eat, I take out the dry biscuits and some dried meat from my backpack and soak them in water.
That's already quite a luxury.
Finally, after traveling for several days, even traveling at night, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai could no longer bear it:
"Master, when can we go to the town to rest? I want to sleep on the bed, not on the tree branch."
"I want to eat a hot meal. I don't want to eat the cold pancakes in our backpacks. I want to eat!"
When he said the last word, Qiu Sheng couldn't help but scream.
As Qiu Sheng started talking, Wencai also spoke weakly from the side:
"Master, I also want to have a hot meal, and I also want to find a place to have a good sleep. How about we find a town nearby to rest?"
When he said this, Wencai's mind suddenly lit up, and he seemed to be a little smarter than usual:
"Master, look at how tired Uncle Seven is. He has fallen asleep in his wheelchair. We can't let Uncle Seven suffer with us forever, right?"
"Qiu Sheng and I are both young and strong and can handle it, but I'm worried that Uncle Seventh won't be able to handle it..."
Seeing Wencai suddenly become smart, Qiu Sheng couldn't help but look at this guy in surprise and nodded repeatedly:
"Yes, yes, Wencai is right!"
"When I left, my aunt gave me a lot of instructions, asking me to take good care of my seventh uncle and not let him suffer..."
Seeing these two lazy guys chattering non-stop after only walking for a few days, Uncle Jiu couldn't help but glare at the two idiots:
"...Shut up, and don't open your mouth when you walk at night to release your essence, be careful not to attract unclean things!"
These two idiots are still using the old guy as an example. The old guy was sitting in a wheelchair the whole way and didn't even walk. How could he be tired?
Is he sleeping because he is tired?
It's obvious that he was pushed by you guys so comfortably that he fell asleep and is conserving his energy!
Although walking on foot is the mainstream of this era, he always feels a little uncomfortable when he sees Song Feng sitting comfortably in a wheelchair.
Especially since he was the one who contributed the tiger skin, he was even more unhappy!
Seeing that Uncle Jiu seemed to be unmoved, Qiu Sheng muttered in a low voice:
"In my opinion, Master, you just don't want us to find a place to rest. With you here, no dirty thing dares to approach..."
Hearing Qiu Sheng muttering, Uncle Jiu slapped him on the back of the head:
"Stop talking nonsense and get on with your business!" Although Qiu Sheng had a lot of complaints, what he said was indeed right. With him around, what dirty creature would dare to approach him?
Just as the master and his apprentice were laughing all the way and making a lot of jokes, Song Feng, who had just dozed off, said quietly:
"Your master didn't let you find a nearby town to repair it for your own good. After all, except for Teng Teng Town, there are only ghost villages around here."
"The moon is full tonight, and it is the time for the corpses to worship the moon. If you enter Teng Teng Town at this time, you will be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth..."
After hearing what Uncle Seven said, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, who had just been making a lot of noise, could not help but be horrified:
“…Ah? That’s too scary!”
They crossed mountains and rivers along the way and they didn't realize they had already arrived near Tengteng Town.
If that's the case, they would rather sleep in the trees than go into town. Zombies really bite!
Seeing Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai suddenly quiet down, Uncle Jiu couldn't help but snort coldly:
"Humph! You're scared now. But who was it that had to make a fuss to go into town to sleep in a big bed and eat hot meals just now?"
"In my opinion, it would be better to throw both of you into Teng Teng Town, just in time to add two hot dishes to the moon-worshipping zombie king!"
After hearing Uncle Jiu's words, Qiu Sheng just chuckled and looked very servile:
"Master... We are all your precious disciples. I know you would not be willing to abandon us to the zombies..."
Seeing Qiu Sheng's servile appearance, Uncle Jiu couldn't help but subconsciously curl the corners of his mouth, with a hint of smile on his face.
Being a master is certainly fun, but it would be even more fun if you could have an extra side to explain your good intentions.
He felt a little relieved, and then Uncle Jiu continued to maintain his masterly demeanor, with one hand behind his back, looking towards the nearby valley:
"Although the areas near Teng Teng Town are all ghost villages and not suitable for living people, this does not mean that we have to sleep outdoors in the mountains tonight..."
Hearing this, Qiu Sheng couldn't help but be overjoyed and looked so excited:
"Master, do you mean to say that you have already found a place for us to rest tonight? I know that you can't let anyone down, but you can let yourself down!"
When he said the last part, Qiu Sheng couldn't help but cover his mouth subconsciously, and then he quickly explained:
"No, Master. I mean that you are so smart and resourceful that you will never let us suffer any loss. Yes, that's what I mean!"
Listening to Qiu Sheng's excuses, Uncle Jiu gave him a deep look.
Good boy! So this is how I am in your mind, you are done, boy!
Seeing Uncle Jiu's gaze, Qiu Sheng couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. It's all over, he's dead now.
The master is a very petty person. If I accidentally say what's in my heart, who knows how he will make things difficult for me in the future.
Just as Qiu Sheng felt a chill in his heart, Song Feng, who was sitting in a wheelchair, tapped the cane in his hand and then gestured to the distance:
"The time for the transition from Hai to Zi has arrived. Huangquan Inn is about to open. If we linger here for a while longer, it will really be dawn..."
After hearing what Song Feng said, Uncle Jiu withdrew his gaze from Qiu Sheng, but was just thinking in his mind how to find an opportunity to secretly make things difficult for Qiu Sheng.
But then he was a little surprised.
That's not right! How did this old guy know that there was a Huangquan Inn located at the junction of Yin and Yang nearby?
Didn’t this Huangquan Inn only appear in recent years when the cholera outbreak occurred in Teng Teng Town? Why does this old guy seem to be so confident?
