Chapter 209 Little Zombie's Black Moonlight Taoist Priest 07

The cart lost its support and Shen Xinran almost rolled off. Turning around, he could not see Yue Minglei's shadow.

Shen Xinran sat alone on the cart. One of the soldiers saw Shen Xinran and shouted, "This place has been controlled. No outsiders are allowed to pass."

Shen Xinran nodded quickly and replied with a smile: "Okay, I'll go now."

Shen Xinran pushed the cart back along the road, cursing Yue Minglei as he walked, damn it, he said he wouldn't run away anymore, what a liar!

After turning the corner, Yue Minglei came out.

Shen Xinran acted as if he didn't see it, walked around Yue Minglei and continued forward.

Yue Minglei knew that Shen Xinran might be angry, so he walked up to Shen Xinran and smiled ingratiatingly, "What did those people say?"

Chen Xinran didn't even glance at Yue Minglei. He walked forward on his own, singing an adapted version of "The Little Donkey": "I have a little zombie that I've never been afraid of. One day, I took him on an adventure on a whim. I had the exorcist's wand in my hand and was feeling proud, but somehow I fell and got covered in mud..."

Yue Minglei looked at Shen Xinran with a hint of guilt in his eyes. "I didn't mean to run away. Those people are the ones who want to kill me. If they saw me, they would definitely feel strange."

Shen Xinran finally stopped. She turned her head to glance at Yue Minglei, only to see that Yue Minglei's eyes were red and he lowered his head, looking as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Shen Xinran didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only sigh and say to him, "If you want to go there, you can only take a detour, but I guess they should have blocked the entire battlefield."

Yue Minglei's eyes widened. "What should we do now? I want to go back and help my brothers collect the bodies."

Shen Xinran frowned and thought for a moment, "This place is closest to Guqiao Town, let's go to Guqiao Town first!"

Yue Minglei nodded, took the cart from Shen Xinran, and said with a smile: "Then come on up, I'll push you."

Chen Xinran was very satisfied with Yue Minglei's understanding and got into the car without saying anything. "Don't worry, I won't break my promise to you."

When Shen Xinran arrived in Guqiao Town, the first thing he did was find a restaurant. "Boss, give me one serving of braised pork, one serving of stir-fried vegetables, and one serving of tomato and egg soup."

Yue Minglei frowned and asked, "Can you finish all these dishes by yourself?"

Shen Xinran widened his eyes and protested, "I haven't had a proper meal in half a month. Even if there are some leftovers, what's the big deal!"

Yue Minglei reminded in a low voice: "But we are out of money, aren't we?"

Shen Xinran smiled, "So that's what you're worried about! Don't worry, I've already figured out a solution."

Yue Minglei was curious and asked, "What's the solution?"

Shen Xinran pretended to be mysterious and said, "Don't worry about it. You'll know after you finish eating."

While eating, I heard people at the next table discussing: "Why was the city wall suddenly closed?"

One of them replied: "Who knows, maybe it has something to do with the battlefield outside the city."

Another person complained, "It's really troublesome. We don't know when the lockdown will be lifted. This makes our travel extremely inconvenient."

The third person echoed, his tone revealing helplessness, "Yeah, originally, to get to Sanhe Town, we only had to walk through the city wall and then half an hour. Now we have to take a longer detour, and it will take more than two hours..."

Shen Xinran ate the food on the table silently and kept this matter in mind. After finishing the meal and paying the bill, she only had ten copper coins left.

Shen Xinran led Yue Minglei to a blacksmith shop and smiled brightly at the owner of the blacksmith shop: "Boss, I want to rent your hammer."

The owner of the blacksmith shop was a burly middle-aged man with traces of time on his face. "Little girl, it's free. Just remember to return it after you use it."

Shen Xinran's voice was full of gratitude: "Thank you very much, boss. I wish you a prosperous business."

Yue Minglei, who was standing aside, looked at the hammer in Shen Xinran's hand, full of doubts: "What do you want to borrow the hammer for?"

Shen Xinran curled his lips and smiled meaningfully, "I'll let you break the stone on your chest!"

Yue Minglei frowned, "Can I refuse?"

Shen Xinran shook his head and said seriously, "No, we really have no money now. If you don't perform, we can only sleep on the street tonight."

Yue Minglei sighed, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Actually, when I was alive, I had quite a bit of money on me, but it disappeared after I woke up."

Chen Xinran gently patted Yue Minglei's shoulder and said, "Heroes don't ask where they came from, and zombies don't dwell on the past. You have to learn to look back."

After Shen Xinran finished speaking, he took a step back, leaving the open space to Yue Minglei.

Yue Minglei's eyes widened in surprise, "Aren't you going to help me hammer it?"

Shen Xinran blinked. "How can I, a weak woman, swing a hammer? So you'd better hammer yourself!"

Yue Minglei stopped talking, but he was thinking in his heart: You didn't act like a weak woman when you were fighting zombies.

When Yue Minglei performed the chest-breaking stone move, Chen Xinran shouted from the side:

"Dear fellow villagers, don't miss it if you're passing by. Today I'll show you a scene where you hit yourself. It's thrilling and exciting, and I guarantee it will open your eyes."

Yue Minglei may be the first man to hit himself. His performance attracted many curious eyes. The audience surrounded him in a circle and coins fell around him like raindrops.

Shen Xinran's eyes and hands were quick, and she pocketed every copper coin. In just half an hour, she had picked up over thirty copper coins. It wasn't much, but it was enough to ensure she wouldn't have to sleep on the streets tonight.

Just as Shen Xinran was about to close his stall, a young man with a sullen face and white eyes suddenly rushed out from a low house nearby.

A deep roar escaped his lips, and the onlookers were frightened and fled in all directions, screaming. "Ahhh, help!"

Behind the man, followed a middle-aged woman, probably his mother. She chased him anxiously, calling out, "Ergou, stop running, come back quickly."

Shen Xinran could tell at a glance that the man had been poisoned. She decisively stepped forward and used a talisman to immobilize him. She turned around and questioned the man's mother, "Where has he been all this time?"

The middle-aged woman stammered, "No... I didn't go anywhere. I was just near home."

Shen Xinran saw that the woman was not telling the truth. She snorted coldly and threatened: "If that's the case, then you can just wait to collect his body!"

The woman finally lost her temper and knelt before Shen Xinran, crying and telling him the truth: "Master, you must save him. We are also a poor family. This child is filial. He heard that many soldiers died outside the city, so he went outside the city to collect some property to supplement the family income. Who knew that within seven days of returning, he would become like this."

Yue Minglei was shocked when he heard all this under the stone slab. He was wondering why the money was gone after he woke up. It turned out that this kid had taken it away.

He pushed the stone slab aside and was about to complain to Shen Xinran. However, Shen Xinran stopped him and turned to the middle-aged woman and ordered, "Bring me a bowl."

The middle-aged woman wiped her tears, quickly stood up from the ground, ran home and brought over a bowl.

Shen Xinran walked up to the young man and tapped his forehead, chest, and abdomen.

Then he lifted the man's arm and cut a cut on his wrist with a knife. Dark red blood flowed out of the wound and dripped into the bowl.
