$296, Hotel stay (2/2)
"Then the corpse-eliminating technique that the old kid taught you is so useful?
How many miles away could this old kid be summoned back? "
The Yinxi Maizao team has arrived in Yangping Town.
Tying two horses in front of a restaurant, Li Yueshan looked at the old corpse driver wearing a cloak on his head, then looked at Xiuxiu in front of him, and asked in surprise.
Xiuxiu shook her head in confusion.
The old corpse exorcist said that the corpse exorcism technique is effective within one mile.
But beyond this range, it will not work.
This zombie can still be recalled by her zombie technique, and she can't figure out why.
Su Wu said from the side: "This zombie contains the 'Black Disaster' Li Jui, and it has been stitched up again by a ghost craftsman. The combination between Li Jui and the corpse is getting closer, and there is no risk of resuscitation.
It is of great research value.
You can keep it and study it more,
Maybe this can open up another way to imprison Li Gui. "
He looked at the master,
After a pause, he continued: "If we want to carry forward the Yinxi Meridian, we also need to draw on the strengths of others and cannot work behind closed doors."
"The corpse exorcist's methods are too evil.
The old man was afraid that Xiu Xiu would be exposed to too many of these things and her nature would be infected.
But since you have spoken, then you, the senior brother, should take more care of her.
If you want to study things like zombies, just go and study them. Don’t bring Xiu Xiu with you! "Li Yueshan said.
"good."
Su Wu nodded in agreement.
After passing through the strange barrier, Master began to value his opinions more and more on all matters.
There is a vague tendency to let him take charge.
He did his part,
I won't deliberately refuse anything.
"let's go,
Let's go have a meal first - after dinner, let's see if there is a carriage shop here where we can buy a carriage?
If not, they would have to entrust their local carpenter to make it ready. "Li Yueshan walked into the restaurant first and said to the disciples behind him as he walked.
…
After eating,
The group of people went looking for carriages and horses in the small town.
Such a small market town, with not many surrounding villages and no trade, would naturally not be able to spawn an industry such as a carriage and horse racing business.
Everyone searched around but couldn't find it.
After looking for five or six carpenters in the town, I finally found a craftsman who could make a carriage.
But the carpenter couldn't make two carriages on the same day.
Ordered delivery in five days.
The Zao team and his party hurriedly went to find a place to live.
The market in Yangping Town is crowded with Xiongxiu Town, and compared with the bustling crowds, it seems much sparse.
There are very few shops along the street.
There were not many people on the street.
On the other hand, there were many more children and women squatting on the ground on the roadside with grass tags on their heads than in Xiongxiu Town.
They looked at the people coming and going with dull eyes.
Occasionally, when someone approaches, there will be a slight look of expectation on their faces.
As the people who approached shook their heads and left, the expressions of those waiting to be bought became dull again.
Su Wu withdrew his gaze,
He looked up and saw the sign of the only inn in the town ahead.
Master looked at the signboard not far away,
The pace slowed down a little, seeming a little hesitant.
The group of people slowed down.
"This is the only inn in this town. Maybe the price of accommodation is very high..." Li Yueshan turned his head and taught his disciples his experience.
He is talking,
A woman from behind lowered her head and hurriedly approached.
He reached out and grabbed the corner of his clothes: "Uncle, do you want to play?
My home is nearby, uncle, you can come with me to my home for only twenty dollars..."
Li Yueshan's eyebrows were raised as his sleeves were pulled by the woman who lowered her head and couldn't see her face clearly.
Su Wu turned around and looked around.
I noticed that there were many women walking by with their heads lowered, as if they were in a hurry.
But they walked from here to there,
From there to here, he kept wandering around the inn with no intention of leaving.
"If you don't play,
Then, then I'm sorry..." The group's eyes were all focused on the woman who mustered up the courage to rush over. The courage that surged in the woman's heart suddenly ebbed.
She let go of Li Yueshan's hand and spoke stumblingly,
Turned around to leave.
"Wait!"
At this time, an old and clear voice sounded at the same time.
She was so frightened that she stopped in her tracks.
She boldly looked up and saw the fat old man she had pulled earlier turning his head and staring dangerously at a tall and thin young man behind him: "Ah Wu?"
Zhu'er and Qingmiao also looked at their senior brother in surprise,
I don’t know why the senior brother wants to speak out now?
"Did you say your home is near here?" Su Wu looked at the woman expressionlessly and asked.
The fat old man's brows relaxed slightly.
"Do you have any room available at your house?"
The master retracted his gaze from Su Wu and his expression calmed down.
"The family is so poor that there are only empty rooms left..." The woman lowered her head and answered, vaguely guessing what the young man wanted to do. She breathed a sigh of relief and quickly added a few words, "If you want to stay here, you can Go to my house!"
If I can get a few people to stay with me,
Just give her some money and her family can finally save their lives!
Su Wu stopped talking and turned to look at the master.
Li Yueshan said: "That's fine."
He took out a bunch of copper coins from his arms, which looked like one or two hundred coins.
He turned around and looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to this side.
Then he handed the bunch of copper coins to the woman,
Naidao said: "If we go to your house to harass you for a few days, the money will be regarded as the cost of our stay.
Please prepare the daily meals for us as well, and just count the money! "
"This, this, this,
This money is enough..." The woman, holding the string of copper coins, suddenly felt dizzy, her chest felt a little clogged, and her eyes were red.
"Here you go, just take it.
From now on..." Li Yueshan paused and did not finish his words. He just sighed and continued, "Take us to your home! "
"Okay, okay..." The woman nodded repeatedly and stuffed the bunch of copper coins into her arms.
Leading everyone to a road.
The woman's name was Xiangdi, and she had a son at home.
The husband has been bedridden and has difficulty doing work.
Xiangdi could have originally done some mending work for a wealthy family with the same surname and clan in the town, earning some hard-earned money to support the family.
But later when my son was playing with the landlord’s son,
I accidentally pushed the other person.
Therefore, the wealthy family members of the same clan cannot even do this little work.
She traveled here and there but never found a job.
The rice jar at home has bottomed out.
In order not to burden the family, my husband threw himself into a river a few days ago.
In order to raise my own children,
Xiangdi finally made up her mind and planned to do some business today to earn some money for her youngest son to spend.
Unexpectedly, they would encounter Yin Ximai and his party.
She doesn't have to do that kind of business for the time being.
One or two hundred dollars won't take long.
But if this can delay it for a day, that's good too.
Xiangdi’s home is right on the edge of Yangping Town.
The house is surrounded by an earthen wall. Most people just use a fence to make a hasty fence. Building an earthen wall is quite labor-intensive. The ability to build such a courtyard wall shows that the Di family's family background was probably pretty good in the past.
"When Langjun was still sick, he and his father-in-law's brothers built a house together.
It's still very strong now.
Some guests, please come in quickly. "Xiangdi lowered her head and talked to the kitchen team and her team, then opened the black lacquered wooden door.
In the courtyard,
On the steps diagonally facing the main room,
There was a child holding a yellow dog. When Xiangdi opened the door and walked in, he looked happy.
Then I saw a fat old man walking in.
The child's expression suddenly became angry. He stood up and rushed towards Li Yueshan with his head bent: "Who are you? You are not allowed to enter my house. You are not allowed to enter my house!"
Although children are small,
But the difficult life also made him gradually understand a lot.
Li Yueshan looked at the child,
He grinned and cursed: "This little brat!"
Talking
He stretched out his hand and held down the child's head, preventing him from getting close to her.
"We stayed at your house for a few days and paid your mother to stay in the hotel. How could you treat a guest like this?" At this time, Li Zhuer walked out from behind the master with a smile on her lips.
The child was originally full of resentment and planned not to let this man enter his courtyard even if he died.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a woman’s voice,
He was stunned and relaxed a little bit.
He broke away from Li Yueshan's hand holding his head, looked up, and saw a woman as beautiful as a fairy.
And beside her, another sister who looks like Guanyin Bodhisattva.
"I..." The child's face was red and he was speechless.
"Da Zhi, apologize to the guest quickly.
They stayed at our house and gave money to my mother.
Why are you stopping people? " Xiangdi quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves, pretending to be serious and reprimanding her son.
The child named Da Zhi was filled with guilt.
I feel that I have wrongly blamed my mother.
He immediately knelt down and kowtowed to everyone.
Su Wu picked him up.
Su Wu put him aside, turned to look at the hostess, and said calmly: "Show us where we live."
"Okay, okay!" Xiangdi responded quickly and led a group of people to see the east and west wings of the house: "There are all kangs. When the time comes, I will bring over my quilt..."
"It doesn't matter,
We ourselves have those who are sleeping,
It’s convenient to have a place to live, so you don’t have to worry about anything else. "Li Qingmiao held Xiangdi's palm and spoke to her softly.
"Then I, then I will buy some vegetables.
Prepare lunch! Xiangdi looked at Li Yueshan, then at Su Wu, and whispered.
"Okay." Li Yueshan nodded,
He could tell that this family probably didn't have any food in reserve and needed to go to the town to buy it on the spot.
The fat old man took out fifty dollars, handed it to Xiangdi, and said, "This money will be used for today's meals."
"The guest officer has already given me a lot.
I, I have, I have..." Xiangdi started to stutter when she saw the money.
"The money is for accommodation,
You still have to pay for the meal, so take it, take it! "The master forced the money into the other party's hand.
Xiangdi blushed and accepted the money. After saying goodbye, she turned around and left.
His son Da Zhi rushed into the house.
He raised the little yellow dog in his hand: "I picked this up outside. You can eat it for lunch!"
His eyes were filled with reluctance,
But I also know that I can never afford to keep a dog at home.
Su Wu lowered his eyes and looked at the trembling yellow dog with cocked ears.
