The old man's voice was particularly hoarse, but his smile was very easy-going.
He looked into the car.
I turned around and asked He Pheasant to get some dry food and a bag of water.
He Zhi nodded, with a look of sympathy in her eyes. She quickly took out a bag of dry food and a water bag and handed them to the old man.
"Isn't there rice?" The old man smiled broadly.
He Zhi looked embarrassed and whispered that we were on our way and had no rice with us, only dry pancakes and dried meat.
The old man obviously showed a look of disappointment. He suddenly looked sideways and looked behind us. Then he took He Zhi's water bag, took out a bowl from his pocket and handed it to me.
"Little brother, can you help me pack a bowl of flour pancakes and break them into pieces? The old man has bad teeth, so he has to make porridge or soak the dry food in water."
His bowl was brought close to me.
I couldn't refuse, so I reached out and took it.
At first I felt that the bowl was dirty, and after I took it, the coldness penetrated into my palms.
I discovered that this was actually a copper bowl. It was not dirty, but it was stained with a lot of rust. I don’t know why, but I held the bowl with both hands by mistake and stared at it for a long time.
"Little brother, what's wrong with you?" The old man's doubtful voice suddenly made me wake up.
"Ma... right away..." I stepped sideways into the car, took He Zhi's bag of dry food, and took out a piece of dry biscuit.
I broke the cake into pieces and put it into the bowl. Soon I filled the whole bowl before returning the bowl to the old man.
His bony hands gripped the edge of the bowl tightly, and his cloudy eyes seemed to brighten a lot.
"Young man, you are a good person, and good people have a good life."
He bowed deeply to me and then walked towards the back of us.
"Yin and Yang?" He Zhi's voice sounded in my ears, and I felt a hint of warmth on my face.
Only then did I realize that He Zhi had arrived beside me at some point and touched my face with one hand.
"What's wrong with you? Are you so late? You rest for a while and I'll drive." He Zhi looked at me with worry in his eyes.
I shook my head again and realized that the old man was almost at the end of my sight.
This means that I was not only in a trance, but also in trance for a long time...
I felt even more weird and confused. I was so normal before, why did I suddenly fall into a trance?
"Okay, I'll take a rest." I agreed to He Zhi and got into the carriage.
He Pheasant started to drive...
I felt like my head was numb, sleepiness was building up, and there was a tingling sensation in my hands.
I looked down at my palms and saw that there were many small wounds on my hands, and tiny drops of blood were leaking out.
What's even weirder is that I have no idea where I was injured.
Feeling more sleepy, I drifted off to sleep.
I don't know how long I slept this time.
Anyway, when I woke up, I was no longer in the carriage.
I was lying on a bed in an empty room.
Looking around in confusion, my head finally became much clearer, but I still felt extremely tired.
"What pheasant?! Taoist Master Liu?!" I shouted and moved my body to get off the bed.
After taking a few deep breaths, I stood up, walked over and opened the door.
There was a creaking sound, and the door opened into a small courtyard.
Two horses were tied to a wooden stake in the yard, and a carriage stood nearby.
The sky was gloomy and it seemed like it would rain at any time.
The courtyard is very small. Apart from the main room on the side and my room, there is only one room opposite.
At this time, the door was pushed open in a hurry, and He Zhi came out with a surprised look on his face.
"Yin Yang, you're finally awake." He Zhi walked up to me quickly and took my arm, obviously heaving a sigh of relief.
"Finally woke up? How long have I been asleep? Where is Director Liu?"
I was even more confused and felt a sense of vague uneasiness.
He Zhi bit his teeth lightly and whispered: "It's been almost two days and two nights. We arrived at Hanwang County two days ago, and Taoist Liu left first. At that time, he thought you were just asleep and said there was no need to say goodbye. You will come to Japan again." See you in Xianglu."
"But I didn't expect that you didn't wake up. I pinched you and you didn't wake up. In the end, I had to find a place to stay and put you down... I called the doctor to take a look at you. The doctor said there was nothing wrong with you. It’s just too tiring and consumes too much.”
The uneasiness in my heart calmed down.
However, it is inevitable to feel a little sentimental.
Liu Tianniu was quite reasonable. His fate was in all directions, so he wanted to pursue Qiu Tianyuan from all directions...
But for me, I feel even more complicated. After saying goodbye this time, I wonder when I can see Liu Tianniu again?
"It's getting dark soon. Let's pack up and leave tomorrow to return to Jiuhe County." I said in a low voice.
He Pheasant nodded immediately.
She hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "Yesterday, something happened, and someone suffered retribution."
I frowned slightly and asked He Zhi what kind of retribution?
Because we don’t know anyone in Hanwang County.
He Zhi bit his lower lip and said three words: "Guo Tianyu." Suddenly, I was shocked again.
I quickly asked He Pheasant to explain it clearly to me.
She asked me to go sit down in the main room first, and she brought me some food and asked me to eat while listening to her.
I just had to do it.
After eating some dry food and drinking a lot of water, I felt much better.
Only then did He Pheasant begin to tell me.
Yesterday morning, she went out and wanted to ask the doctor to come and check on my physical condition. She heard people on the road talking about the fire that broke out in the dojo ten miles away in Hanwang County. The entire dojo was completely burned, and only a few people were working in the dojo. Er's handyman escaped.
She inquired about Guo Tianyu and found that most people in Hanwang County knew Mr. Tianyuan, but the result was that Guo Tianyu was also dead.
I squeezed the dry biscuit on hand tightly, feeling shocked and puzzled.
This means that we just left for a day, and the Tianyuan Shidao Dojo was burned down the next day, and Guo Tianyu died...
Guo Tianyu is not very skilled, but Liu Tianniu can't do anything to him.
Besides, how could a Yin-Yang master's dojo suddenly catch fire?
With so many people dying, Guo Tianyu must be able to see the problem in advance!
He didn't notice it?
This matter is too strange and strange!
I no longer have the slightest appetite...
In addition, I still have bouts of gloom in my mind.
This is not a trivial matter, and may also become a hidden danger.
We have a conflict with Guo Tianyu, and something will happen if we leave...
If Jiang Pan knows about this, there will definitely be a big problem!
"The escaped servants should be in Hanwang County, right? Find them here, I want to see them!" I put down the dry biscuits and said in a hoarse voice.
"But we have to leave... I don't think we should..." He Zhi just finished speaking.
I shook my head and interrupted: "It's impossible to ignore it, otherwise how can I explain to Brother Jiang in the future?"
"If we encounter someone who wants to provoke us again, we won't be able to argue!"
"This matter is of great concern. How can there be a fire in Guo Tianyu's dojo! Let's go find someone together."
I stood up immediately, but my head felt dizzy, and with a bang, I sat back on the chair.
