Mutated Tao Chapter 266: On the road


"Blaze?" Li Huowang, who was about to leave just now, was instantly attracted by the content of the chat between the two, and his intuition told him that this might be what he was looking for.

Completely ignoring Lu's class on the stage, Li Huowang quickly moved to the side of the tall and fat people, waiting for them to continue talking.

However, what made Li Huowang anxious was that when he listened unintentionally, the other party kept coming, but when he listened intently, the other party shut up.

Li Huowang thought for a while, then simply went directly to the fat man's side, and gently pressed his arm against his shoulder. "This friend, dare to ask what happened to Pi County? Why is there a plague, I haven't heard of it before."

Fatty, who was listening intently to the fan drama on the stage, was immediately displeased when asked by Li Huowang. "What about you? Who are you——"

When the fat man saw the two broken pieces of silver handed over by Li Huowang, his eyes straightened immediately. The unkind words on the lips were swallowed back again.

"Please tell me, my uncle is in Pixian County. When I heard that there was a plague there, I was really anxious, so I was so reckless."

Don't care whether the other party believes the nonsense made up by Li Huowang, at least for Yinzi's sake, he seems very helpful.

"Hey, bro, you should have said this earlier, what should I take it for?" A fat hand hidden in the cuff stretched out and took the two pieces of silver.

"Don't worry, your uncle is fine, there is no plague in Pi County. They are all alive." Speaking of this, the fat man in the watermelon hat paused slightly.

"But, Ge Langer, if you are really close to your mother and uncle, then you'd better take him out of Pixian County, where Fengshui is not good." After saying this, his voice subconsciously lowered a little, It seemed that he was afraid of being heard by something.

"Let me tell you, when I went there to do business last time, I found that the people living there were neurotic and had a bad face. It's a plague, and that face is uglier than a person with a plague."

"People in the whole county are nervous and have a bad complexion?" Li Huowang, who stood there, thought about it carefully, and asked again: "Besides this, is there any other common thing in that county?" Is it?"

Although it is not surprising that anything happens in this world, it is still impossible to judge what happened to the people in Pi County just from these two points.

"I don't know, I just passed by there, and I returned after a short stay. If you are really worried, then you can go to Pixian County to have a look. Anyway, it's only a ten-day journey, nothing to do , don’t you think I’m coming back?”

"Ten days away?" After thinking for a while, Li Huowang turned and walked towards the inn.

When Bai Lingmiao's map was spread out in front of Li Huowang, Li Huowang quickly found the location of Pi County, which happened to be on the same road as Niuxinshan.

After thinking carefully for a while, Li Huowang finally decided to go there to have a look. The behavior of people in a county town has become weird. No matter how you look at it, things are not trivial. There is a high probability of meeting Supervisor Tiansi there.

And this is the only choice I have now. Not even an alternative.

At this moment, Lu Xiucai rushed in excitedly from outside the house. Li Huowang raised his head and said to him, "Go and tell your father. Stop acting after today's play. We will continue on our way tomorrow."

Holding a copper coin, Lu Xiucai nodded repeatedly, turned around and rushed outside.

For Li Huowang to leave suddenly, the others have long been used to it. They prepared the ox cart and a newly bought carriage, and put all the things they needed on it.

They didn't bother to ask where Li Huowang was going or what he was going to do, or they didn't dare to ask, as long as they kept following him.

If there is any change from before this time, it is that Lu Jiaban, who has always been downcast, has changed his face in this way, and everyone's face is flushed. .

"Hey hey~ Lord Xiaodao, Lord Xiaodao~ As we agreed before, this is yours, but mine." The happy Lu Zhuangyuan reached out and took some copper coins mixed with broken silver, holding them in his hands. Handed it to Li Huowang.

Li Huowang looked at Lu Zhuangyuan who was smiling like a chrysanthemum, "What? Did you get so much reward?"

Does he know that in the past, the Lu family's class could only sing like that, but they didn't have so many rewards.

"Hehehe, after all, this is also a big beam. Those people are all rich, all of them are rich~" Lu Zhuangyuan said with a smile, and put the copper coins and silver in his hand on the bullock cart.

Seeing that Li Huowang did not refuse, Zhao Wu, who was driving the car, took out a thick thread and strung up the scattered copper coins one by one.

·

Of course Li Huowang did not refuse. Although the money is not much, it is still a steady stream, so that he would not have to waste time on these daily trivial matters.

And at least with this money, other people can eat better. "Eat something good tonight, take out the bacon and make a bacon braised rice."

Just after saying this, a clear sound of swallowing saliva came to Li Huowang's ears. It stands to reason that he should not be so greedy after eating so much meat on the Qingqiu grassland.

"Whose voice is this? Didn't you eat today?" Li Huowang turned his head, only to find that the person was not his own, but a grey-haired, thin-body Mike. Beside him was a young man with a simple and honest appearance.

As if feeling that the other party was looking at him, the old Maike pretended not to care and looked at the harvested rice field on the other side.

"Gu Gu~" His stomach sounded, and the old Maike put down his hands holding the shoulder pole, and grabbed the hemp rope of his belt from left to right, and tightened it a little bit.

Li Huowang sized up their old patched clothes, then turned his head and continued on his way.

On the way, except for Gouwa whose mouth was a little broken, no one spoke.

It was westward that day, and the ox carts stopped slowly. As usual, everyone began to divide the work and make dinner.

"Senior brother Li, look quickly! There is a mother-in-law Ding Ai on the side of the road. Make wild vegetable soup, which is just right for you to relieve the greasy bacon!"

Li Huowang, who was looking at the map, didn't hear it at all. Who said this.

His attention is now focused on the map in his hand. God knows if the ratio of this map is correct. If he goes astray, he will waste several days of travel.

Supper will be ready soon. Today's dinner is bacon braised rice with wild vegetable soup.

Looking at the big bowl of shiny rice in front of him and the red and white bacon between the rice, Li Huowang raised his head and glanced at the two Mai Ke who were squatting in the distance.

They were drinking the raw cold water they had just scooped out from the stream, and they were eating the whole grains and buns they took out of their bags.

The little guy stared straight at the rice in Li Huowang's hand, but was quickly pressed down by the old guy again.

"Go and get two bowls of rice and deliver it to them." Li Huowang said to Bai Lingmiao who was beside him.

"Yeah." Bai Lingmiao nodded, turned around and walked towards the pot.
