Chapter 225: Chapter 225: Eating lons
When Qin Zhan said they could get out of the car for a break, he was the first to throw open the door and dash out.
He shook his head vigorously.
It was just unbearable.
Throughout the trip, all they heard was the sound of lon seeds being cracked, and the thing was, the three old n particularly loved to compete, each trying to spit lon seed shells outside the car, attempting to mimic Tang Chuxia.
Needless to say, you can guess the outco.
Naturally, they didn’t succeed and complained about their lack of practice.
Tang Chuxia, who had been eating lon seeds for a long ti, almost had her stash completely devoured by them.
This just showed how strong their “combat ability” was.
This place, with no village in the front and no shop in the back, was truly only good for resting.
Aside from Qin Zhan, who alleviated his hunger with so cakes, the other five weren’t hungry.
They were full from the lon seeds.
At the mont, they were wandering around, comnting that the location was good, suitable for murder and burial.
Third Grandpa ntioned that the feng shui here was good, indeed a good place for burials.
The old Taoist nodded, “Not suitable for the living, but perfect for preserving corpses!”
The old monk waved his hand, “I’m idle anyway; I might as well help so lost souls transcend!”
Tang Chuxia coughed, her throat dry from too many lon seeds and now craving water.
Lin Qingchen took the water bottle and rubbed it in his palm before handing it to Tang Chuxia.
Tang Chuxia touched it and found that the water had turned warm.
She shook Lin Qingchen’s hand in shock and examined it back and forth, “You have Inner Strength?”
Lin Qingchen’s ears turned red, “Not exactly, just a little trick!”
Tang Chuxia insisted on knowing, and Lin Qingchen said nothing, but the old Taoist beside him clicked his tongue, “Sleep with this kid, and he’ll tell you everything!”
Tang Chuxia snorted, “All you know is to plot against . If I sleep with him, you just wait for my child to be your successor. Who knows where you’d take the kid!”
The old Taoist chuckled, “The girl knows exactly what I’m thinking. Not bad, not bad! Why not have one?”
Tang Chuxia glanced at Lin Qingchen, who had already turned his back, then glared at the old Taoist.
“Keep dreaming, there’s no way I’m having a child! Besides, Lin Qingchen is your grand-nephew; can’t you stop advertising him like so old madam all day?”
The old Taoist spat, “Rubbish talk—based on my grand-nephew’s looks, he should be the top courtesan of Qingfeng Pavilion.”
The Third Grandpa burst into laughter like an old duck.
The old monk was all smiles, that smile of his.
The three old n definitely had stories.
Afraid that Tang Chuxia might say sothing outrageous, Lin Qingchen hurriedly spoke up for fear the three old n might say sothing equally troubling: “I’ll gather so dry wood to boil so water. Everyone must be thirsty!”
With a tip of his toe, Lin Qingchen was already several ters away.
Tang Chuxia couldn’t help but be amazed.
So envious!
Even Qin Zhan standing next to her was wide-eyed with real envy.
Tang Chuxia poked Qin Zhan, “Do you know what Qingfeng Pavilion is?”
Qin Zhan’s ears reddened a bit as he whispered an explanation to her.
Tang Chuxia spat in disgust after hearing it.
Three utterly improper old n.
One more unreliable than the next.
No wonder he would rather be an unreliable hermit than marry and have children, he truly enjoys this lifestyle.
Qin Zhan then told her, “Qingfeng Pavilion is no longer around, it was shut down in the early days of the establishnt of the country!”
Tang Chuxia actually felt a bit of regret.
If it wasn’t for the situation, she really wanted to check it out.
Seeing the expression on her face, Qin Zhan was completely dumbfounded.
Was it the aning he understood?
Tang Chuxia wanted to go…
Fortunately, Tang Chuxia quickly started talking to the old Taoist, which allowed Qin Zhan to shake off that strange thought.
Lin Qingchen soon returned and kindled the fire, then started boiling water with a small pot and so snow he had carried on the vehicle.
Tang Chuxia used a stick to skewer a pancake and toasted it. The pancake was already seasoned with oil and salt, and toasting it made it even more fragrant.
Tang Chuxia wasn’t hungry to begin with, she could only eat half and couldn’t eat anymore, luckily she had the foresight to share the other half.
After restarting the vehicle, Tang Chuxia finally rembered to ask, “Are we heading south?”
Tang Chuxia had originally thought that deep forests and high mountains referred to the north, not expecting their vehicle to be heading south.
Lin Qingchen humd, “Master said that the north has good dicinal herbs, but they are not the ones he needs, his favorite should be several big mountains in the south.”
Tang Chuxia was dumbfounded, “Several?”
Lin Qingcheng nodded.
Tang Chuxia tugged at the Taoist’s sleeve, “Are you not wanting to detoxify Gu Beihuai? It’s already challenging enough to climb one mountain, let alone several? Not to ntion before the New Year, it’s questionable whether we can co back within a month!”
The old Taoist nodded, “Exactly!”
Tang Chuxia thought about her elder sister-in-law’s due date.
“Are you trying to make sure I don’t see my unborn nephew?”
The old Taoist stroked his beard, “Not necessarily, your nephew probably won’t arrive so soon.”
The old monk also chid in, “Exactly, if we count the days, it should be enough ti.”
One by one, they seed very mysterious; Tang Chuxia felt that a few old n were quite relaxed about the baby in her sister-in-law’s womb, implying that there shouldn’t be any danger this ti.
Then she felt much more assured.
As long as fate wasn’t against them, everything else would be manageable.
Compared to the boredom of the morning, Tang Chuxia didn’t have lon seeds to crack in the afternoon but just talked, or else she wouldn’t even be able to sleep comfortably.
“Third Grandpa, who exactly was that bald guy who visited your house yesterday?”
Upon hearing Tang Chuxia’s question, Third Grandpa didn’t evade and directly said, “That was my sect’s mber.”
In the conversation with Third Grandpa, Tang Chuxia learned that there still were rivers and factions in this era.
And Third Grandpa’s sect was very niche; they dealt with corpses and insects. Few people knew about them, and they rarely appeared before the public, although they always had so connections with the higher-ups.
However, Third Grandpa was a bit special. He wasn’t involved in the sect affairs and didn’t manage the sect’s matters much. The bald man was a mber of the sect and had beco sowhat dented from constantly dealing with dark entities.
The corpse yesterday was cleaned by their sect using insects, but because there was an issue with the insects, the bald n couldn’t find the cause and turned to Third Grandpa for help.
Tang Chuxia was puzzled, “If the bald man just ca to ask for help, why did you say I had a death peril?”
In ntion of death peril, Third Grandpa had Tang Chuxia extend her hand, and he took her pulse directly.
“Why is there nothing wrong with you?”
That caught Tang Chuxia off-guard; how was she to know?
Her body was healthy; could that be a problem too?
In truth, Tang Chuxia knew but couldn’t say, as there was an elder brother who had acted similarly before her.
After Tang Chuxia shook her head, Third Grandpa started muttering, “Sothing is off, sothing is wrong with your body. Could it be that the insects used on you were incorrect? Should I try?”
