A moment later, at the door of Anxiangyi Station.

Under the leadership of Pei Hong, Pei Wende and his party successfully passed the inspection by the post officials and were able to temporarily stay at the inn in Anxiangyi.

But even if he didn't look back, Pei Wende could still imagine the eyes of the refugees who witnessed his group successfully entering the inn.

In addition to envy and jealousy, there is also a kind of hatred and even crazy malice.

If it weren't for the majesty of Yu Guanjia and the heavily armed appearance of the post officials, the hungry people with green eyes would have already begun to attack Anxiang Post.

Even so, the most malicious gaze from the depths of people's hearts still gave Pei Wende a chill down his spine.

Pei Wende has seen so many demons and liberated so many ghosts, but no experience has ever left him as speechless and terrified as he is today.

This panic stems from Pei Wende's disappointment in his own abilities and his deep understanding of human nature.

This is a problem that cannot be solved no matter how many magical powers Pei Wende has practiced or how many Buddhist principles he has understood.

Now, for the first time, Pei Wende finally began to truly understand Huiji's pursuit - the world is a pure land, and the Buddha's kingdom is at his feet.

[Unfortunately, this problem was not initially resolved until China truly entered the 21st century. 】

Slowly gathering his mind, Pei Wende just took one last look at the disheveled and insensitive refugees outside the door, and secretly made up his mind.

I may not be able to significantly improve the productivity of this era and move China from an agricultural country to an industrial country in advance.

But changing the things you can change within your own ability may be a more beneficial thing than blindly improving one's own conduct.

[This is the Mahayana Buddhism pursued by my senior brother! 】

There was no trace of wavering on his face anymore, and Pei Wende, who had regained his former demeanor, focused his attention on the inn.

Pei Wende was impressed by this inn.

Because when he first went down the mountain to Changsha County, he borrowed a thousand-mile horse from this inn, and then successfully arrived at the haunted Lu Mansion before sunset and successfully solved the beauty head entrenched there.

"Speaking of which, I remember that the person in charge of this station should be Mr. Cao, right?"

Looking around, Pei Wende saw no sign of Mr. Cao who had lent him the horse in the inn.

"Have you been here?"

Pei Hong's eyes widened in surprise, and Pei Hong glanced at Pei Wende with a puzzled expression.

In an official inn like Anxiang Inn, usually only officials and scholars can stay.

If it weren't for Pei Hong's identity as "Yin of Ningxiang County" this time, a group of people might have been expelled by the post officials before approaching Anxiang Post.

"Well, I came here once by chance."

Obviously realizing that he had let something slip, Pei Wende immediately added.

It's a pity that his words of farewell are not believed by veterans like Pei Hong and Zhong Guanjia. Even Zhang Chusheng, who was silent next to him, couldn't help but roll his eyes.

And Yue'er, who had been holding Zou Qiwu's sleeve and looking around curiously, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

By chance, I appeared at the inn that only official personnel could enter. I would not believe that there was nothing fishy in the process.

"..."

Staring at Pei Wende speechlessly, Pei Hong finally did not investigate why the other party appeared in Anxiangyi.

After all, the other party is his younger brother. Even if he has done anything illegal or disciplinary, he feels that since he has not been discovered, he can just continue to hide it.

"The person in charge of Anxiang Station is indeed Cao Yiguan, and we will indeed go find him next."

"But his situation may be a bit bad. If you know him, you have to be mentally prepared first."

"Old man, are you feeling a little better?"

Not knowing that someone was looking for his father outside, he saw a young man with a sad face standing by the bed, nervously looking at Old Man Cao who kept coughing.

"Cough cough cough..."

Old Man Cao didn't answer the boy's question immediately. After coughing hard twice, he opened his eyes with a tired look.

"Do you think I'm okay?"

The tone was not harsh, but the boy immediately shushed and fell silent like a child who had gotten into trouble.

"You brat, I don't blame you."

After coughing hard again, Old Man Cao looked at his adopted son and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

"What you did to save people was right. Even if you didn't take the initiative to save people at that time, I would have gone to save people."

Old Man Cao is telling the truth. After living for so long in his life, the most satisfying thing he has done is to adopt the child in front of him.

Filial, motivated, and kind-hearted...

Although the young man was often scolded by Old Man Cao for doing bad things with good intentions, deep down he valued this very much.

"Old man, how about I take you to Doctor Lu's place?"

"I heard that Dr. Lu has excellent medical skills and is not too far from us. He will definitely be able to cure you."

Facing the young man's worried dissuasion, Old Man Cao just shook his head as usual, and then said decisively.

"I know my own situation well. Even Divine Doctor Lu can't cure my current injuries."

When he said this, Old Man Cao actually got up from the bed, and then got out of bed with the help of the young man.

"Besides, what is more important now is maintaining the normal operation of the inn."

"The situation of refugees that has appeared here must be reported immediately, so that Changsha County can prepare response measures in advance."

Although his energy was weak and weak, Old Man Cao's tone was still strong and strong.

"We also need to report what happened to me. It's best to ask Qintian Supervisor to send someone over."

Hearing this, the young man supporting Old Man Cao opened his mouth hesitantly, and the worry on his face became more obvious.

Even though his body was already so weak, he still wanted to fully operate Anxiang Station. This made the young man admire his father, but at the same time he was quite annoyed with his stubborn and donkey-like character.

"Old man, you can rest assured to leave it to me at Anxiangyi. The most important thing for you now is to recover from your injuries!"

However, just like every previous dissuasion, the stubborn old man Cao simply refused to listen to any of the young man's persuasion and forced himself to walk out of the room.

"I can still persist. Besides, you can't deal with those 'thorns' in the inn."
