Mutated Tao Chapter 69: eating

Pieces of yellow paper gradually turned into black ashes as the flames burned, riding the heat soaring upwards.

Li Huowang looked at everything in front of him with a complicated expression.

"Li Zhi, Li Zhi, I have already burned the paper money you asked for, I hope you can receive it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Huowang saw that the black ashes swirled in front of him, as if it was a response to what he said.

At this moment, Li Huowang suddenly understood the thoughts of those superstitious people.

Compared to the extremely cruel and desperate one, everything disappears after death, and you can turn into a ghost after death to continue reincarnation. That is really a beautiful fairy tale.

The last stack of yellow paper in his hand was thrown into the fire. Li Huowang stood up and patted the ashes on his body.

"Let's go, let's go to the town to find an inn to rest, everyone is soaked."

Just as he was about to leave, Bai Lingmiao's words made him turn sideways. "Brother Li, Miss Xiaoman is gone."

After observing the crowd for a while, Li Huowang did not find the woman with hirsutism.

"Oh, I remembered, she told me before that her home seems to be nearby."

No one responded to these words. After the previous incident, everyone knew what Xiao Man planned to do when he returned home.

"Well, Senior Brother Li, why don't we go and find her? Maybe we can stop her." The smiling Gouwa reached into his bamboo hat and scratched his oily hair.

Li Huowang glanced at him, then raised his foot and walked towards the direction of a plaque hanging on the inn.

"Look for an inn to settle down. This is Xiaoman's hometown nearby. She must be familiar with her. She will come to us when she finishes her work."

This sentence made Bai Lingmiao, who was hesitant to say anything, quiet down. He grabbed the hem of his clothes with both hands and followed silently.

The sky was gray and raining lightly, she didn't need a cloth to cover her eyes, her pink pupils were full of sadness.

The dry guest room was opened soon. Some people washed their hair, took a shower, and when everything was ready, they all gathered in the lobby for dinner.

There are not many things in my pocket. The dishes on the table are so-so, most of which are vegetarian dishes. The only dishes that can be called meat dishes are scrambled eggs with bitter gourd, and fried peppers with lard residue.

But everyone ate very happily, there is no reason for it, the lard in the dish is solid, it smells delicious and tastes very hungry.

Today's Ching Ming Festival, not many people stayed in the inn for dinner, and the errand runner beside him was chatting with the accountant.

"Hey, Xiucai, do you know? I heard that there may be another war on the border."

"Don't talk nonsense, you know the ball, what qualifications does a stinky boy have to talk about state affairs."

"I don't like to hear these words anymore. Although I'm a little waiter, I can't do anything else. That news is the best. I heard that this time, all of us are going to fight eastward." .”

"East?" Li Huowang, who was eating normally, pricked up his ears. The east side is the boundary of the pass.

Li Huowang didn't have many acquaintances over there, and the only ones he was worried about were those in Lu's class.

However, when he thought of Lu Zhuangyuan, who was very smooth, he felt relieved, that old man was very oily, so he should be fine.

Xiao Er's voice began to lower. "Xiucai, let me tell you, some time ago, all the businessmen over there rushed back, so they must have heard some news."

Li Huowang, who was eating, shook his head, this place is in such a mess, it's full of evil spirits and thieves, these people are not busy managing the people's livelihood, yet they still have time to send troops to fight, it's really dizzy.

The enthusiastic Xiao Er was about to continue to say something, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly walked towards the door of the inn.

"Yo! This girl! Please, do you want to be a top student or stay in a hotel?"

Hearing the movement, Li Huowang and the others turned their heads at the same time, and saw a woman walking in with a short knife and a black gauze hat.

There are not many people dressed like this in the whole town. Seeing the back of the man's black hair, Li Huowang easily guessed the identity of the man.

"Xiao Er, come to serve the table and chopsticks, and ask the cook behind to add two more hard dishes."

"Okay! Here we come!"

Li Huowang elbowed the idiot beside him, the idiot took a few mouthfuls of food knowingly, and squatted down to the table with the bowl to eat.

Xiao Man walked beside Li Huowang and sat down.

The black gauze hat was taken off, revealing the black hair on her face that was soaked from tears.

After Li Huowang took a deep breath, he took a few mouthfuls of rice. He could smell a faint smell of blood from Xiaoman's body.

"Here comes the chopstick bowl~~Oh! My god!!"

Waving away the frightened Xiao Er with his hand, Li Huowang put the bowl and chopsticks in front of Xiao Man. "Eat."

Xiao Man looked at the empty bowl in front of him with a painful expression, as if recalling something. "He also sold my sister. My sister was sold to an old man in his fifties. She just died of dystocia at the beginning of the year."

The only sounds on the table were the chopsticks beating the bowls and chopsticks, and the sound of chewing and swallowing. No one spoke at the moment.

"He is a scum! I hate him! I want to eat his flesh and drink his blood!"

Gritting his teeth, Xiaoman squeezed out these words.

Hearing this, Bai Lingmiao, who was sitting by the side, leaned over with a distressed face, and stretched out her white jade-like hands to hug her gently.

"My mother persuaded me, saying that he is my father no matter what, and that killing my father will be punished by God, but I would rather be punished by God, and I will kill him too!"

Using a spoon to put a few spoonfuls of vegetable tofu soup into his empty bowl, Li Huowang picked up the bowl and poured it into his mouth, and said softly as if chatting: "The gods in this place don't have eyes."

The table gradually became quiet, and the others sat quietly on the spot, watching Xiao Man silently.

There is a hint of anger and sadness in their eyes. Everyone is Yaoyin, and they can empathize with Xiaoman's situation.

Before arriving home, no one can be sure whether they have been sold by their family members.

When the anger in Xiao Man's eyes receded, only deep confusion remained in his eyes, "My house is gone, I personally demolished it, I don't know where to go next."

"Small stir-fried donkey meat, braised river fish in brown sauce~! All guests, take it easy!" Xiao Er, who put down the two dishes, left as if fleeing for his life.

Li Huowang took Xiaoman's empty bowl, filled it with a bowl full of sticky white rice, and pushed it in front of her. "Eat."

After speaking, Li Huowang picked out a fishbone from the braised fish with chopsticks as a toothpick, and walked towards the guest room on the second floor while shaving his teeth.

Others dispersed in twos and threes after seeing this scene, and soon Bai Lingmiao was left alone in the whole hall to accompany Xiaoman.

Tears slid from the hair on Xiaoman's face and dripped continuously on the rice.

She picked up the chopsticks tremblingly, picked up the bowl, and ate the rice soaked in her own tears with big mouthfuls.

The more she ate, the more she shed tears, and finally she cried out loudly while holding the bowl.
