Mutated Tao Chapter 38: Jianye


"Fifth brother come in quickly, where have you been these days? Sixth sister and I are worried about you, and thought something happened to you."

Seeing the shirtless boy walking towards the inside with Zhao Wu supported, Li Huowang raised his heels, he felt that things were not that simple.

"Why are you back?" Li Huowang knew that he had guessed right when he saw the person who made the plan just said it in a nonchalant manner.

Zhao Wu, who was very excited just now, the emotion on his face gradually disappeared, and he stated in a trembling voice: "Father, I was taken away with a sack over my head, and they took me far away , These friends of mine sent me back.”

Looking at the several black hats at the door, Zhao Wu's father waved his hands impatiently, "Leave them all! How can we do business if you block the door like this."

The attitude of the other party made Li Huowang very unhappy. What does it matter to us outsiders that your father-son relationship is not good?

He snatched the long sword from Zhao Wu's hand, raised it high, and with a flash of cold light, the sharp blade slashed straight at the opponent's wooden table and cabinet, almost cutting it in half.

"What are you going to do? The head catcher in the town is my relative!" Zhao Wu's father backed away in fright.

Li Huowang took out a tael of silver with his right hand, slowly cut off a small piece along the coldly shining blade in front of him, and then pushed the broken silver in front of him with his hand. "Buy rice!"

In the small backyard of Mipu, Zhao Wu was pouring tea for Li Huowang. "Brother Li, calm down, my father is like that, he is actually pretty good at heart."

Li Huowang picked up the teacup and drank it down. No matter how good he is, he doesn't bother to care about other people's housework, and he didn't come here just to send Zhao Wu off.

"These last words are from China. Since you are familiar with Jianye City, you can find a reliable bodyguard company and send them over." Li Huowang pushed seven or eight pieces of paper in front of Zhao Wu.

Zhao Wu took it with both hands and nodded cautiously. "Brother Li, don't worry, I promise to do these things!"

"Okay, that's it. You stay at home and we're leaving." Li Huowang stood up after speaking.

"Are you leaving so soon? Why don't you eat at my house at noon, and I can come back alive, it all depends on everyone."

Zhao Wu is obviously a little bit reluctant, and this parting may never be seen again.

"Forget it, don't worry about it." Li Huowang patted Zhao Wu's shoulder, seeing his father's attitude just now, this meal might be unsettling.

"You should remember the words I taught these days, especially your name. You can write your own name, at least not purely illiterate."

Just as Li Huowang said the last sentence, a long-haired female Yaoyin suddenly rushed forward, put her mouth next to his ear and said in a very low voice: "After you go home, check carefully. Check, maybe you were not kidnapped, but sold by your father!"

This made everyone fall silent, and when Zhao Wu's third brother came over carrying the rice, Li Huowang waved his hand and asked the fool to take the rice and leave with the others.

On the road where people come and go, Li Huowang and others are looking for an inn to stay.

"Why do you think that Zhao Wu was sold by his father?" Li Huowang turned around and asked the woman who had just said the last sentence to Zhao Wu.

This woman suffering from hirsutism was very taciturn along the way, and she basically didn't talk to others, but today she suddenly spoke, which really surprised Li Huowang.

"Tiger Poison doesn't eat his son yet, he may not be that bad."

As soon as Li Huowang said this, the woman's body trembled inexplicably, and she said with a sad voice: "Tiger poison is not eating, but people are more poisonous than tigers! Because I was betrayed by my parents." It fell!"

As soon as the words came out, everyone stopped and looked at her in shock.

"Two taels of silver, just two taels of silver! He sold me like an animal! He didn't even look back."

Feeling the pain in the other person's heart, Bai Lingmiao walked over, hugged her gently, and patted her on the back comfortingly.

Li Huowang spoke again after thinking about it. "He sold you, so will you go back?"

"Go back!" the woman gritted her teeth and growled.

Looking at her chest rising and falling due to excitement and the extreme hatred in her voice, Li Huowang could immediately guess that her purpose of going back might be different from that of Bai Lingmiao and the others.

"Donglai Inn, let's stay there today." Li Huowang pointed to the plaque on the left side of the street with his hand, and walked in first.

"Guest officer please, do you want to stay at the hotel?"

"How much is a room for staying in a hotel."

"We have three types: A, B, and C. Room A is 90 Wen including food, Room B is 60 Wen not including food, and Room C is 20 Wen but you have to live with others."

"Guest officer, you have seven adults and five children, a total of twelve people. You can choose four rooms B. The rooms in our inn are spacious, and it is no problem for three people to sleep in one room. It is safer for a child to sleep together."

"Okay, just do as you say."

"Okay! Twelve distinguished guests ~ four rooms in Room B ~ upstairs please ~ watch out for the steps."

At night, Li Huowang leaned against the window and looked at the ancient people walking on the street outside.

Running all the way, he finally had time to sit down and observe this world completely different from his past.

A strong man with a horse, a scholar with a fan, a child with a lantern, and a hunchbacked peddler carrying food on a shoulder pole.

Everything here is so real, but it is so out of tune with myself.

Different faces flashed in front of his eyes. After watching, Li Huowang was in a trance for a moment. The next second, his muscles tensed up. He saw Yang Na on the street!

That exquisite face was already pear-blossoming at this time, and her expression was so sad that she couldn't even breathe from crying. "Huowang, wake up!"

"Drink!" Li Huowang, who was so scared that he was covered in cold sweat, quickly took a step back, and then quickly rushed back, looking down.

It turned out that it was not Yang Na, her childhood sweetheart, but a young girl with a similar appearance to her.

"That's right, I've grown up so much, if Yang Na really exists, how could she still be a girl..."

Li Huowang slid down slowly with his back against the wall, staring blankly at the wooden beams above. "Is the hallucination starting again?"

There was a knock on the door suddenly.

"Come in, the door is open." Li Huowang thought that the person who came in would be Gouwa who lived with him, but it turned out that it was Bai Lingmiao.

With a smile on her face, she held a lotus leaf bag in both hands and brought it to Li Huowang. When the lotus leaf was opened, she found several steaming big buns inside. "Brother Li, you are hungry. Eat buns."

Li Huowang reached out and grabbed one, stuffed it into his mouth, and started chewing.

Bai Lingmiao was holding the steamed stuffed bun, squatting on Li Huowang's left side, watching him quietly, and as soon as he saw that he had finished eating, he immediately handed over a new one thoughtfully.

"This place is quite special. There are buns for sale at night." Li Huowang said.

"Isn't it common to have steamed stuffed buns for sale at night? If it's special, then it's a fool, he's jealous after eating steamed stuffed buns!"

"Hehe, I don't know who he is, and he still eats this way."

Li Huowang, who was chatting with Bai Lingmiao, suddenly remembered something, "I didn't give you any money, where did you get the money to buy the buns?"

Bai Lingmiao looked away dodgingly, but first she put the remaining buns on her lap, then took out a few large pieces of silver from her waist, and held them in front of Li Huowang with both hands.

"Senior Brother Li, I pawned that gold anklet. You have worked too hard alone, and I can't do anything else. I can only help you in this way."
