Chapter 542 Extra: Climbing Over the Wall Scared Someone to the Point of Fainting

Lin Luoxi thought that once she entered the town, she would no longer have to see those undead.

When she stepped into Hongyuan Town, she realized how ridiculous her idea was.

She was bathed in golden light of merit as she stepped into the town, standing out like a light suddenly shining in the darkness among the dead.

Fortunately, her merits and golden light could subdue all evil spirits, and the dead spirits saw Lin Luoxi but dared not approach her.

Where she walked, the spirits of the dead voluntarily made way for a wide Yangkang Avenue.

As soon as the white tiger entered Hongyuan Town, it smelled Xie Hanchuan's presence.

Although it disliked Xie Hanchuan a bit, it still earnestly led the way because Lin Luoxi was so worried about him.

The man and the tiger walked up to a decent-looking house with the words "Town Mayor" written on it.

"Knock knock knock..." Seeing that the white tiger stopped in front of the town mayor's mansion and stopped walking, Lin Luoxi stepped forward and knocked on the copper ring on the door.

After knocking for a while, no one came out to open the door. Lin Luoxi took two steps back and glanced at the walls on both sides.

Pick up the white tiger and climb over the wall on the left.

"Ah! A ghost!" The town mayor's steward and the gatekeeper's servant came to report in the middle of the night that someone was knocking on the door, and they were hesitating whether to open it or not.

But remembering the instructions of the two important figures in the mansion, he still gritted his teeth and went out with the gatekeeper to take a look.

Just as he stepped out, before he even reached the door, he saw a black and white figure follow him in, which terrified Steward Zhao so much that he screamed in fear.

The timid gatekeeper servant following behind Steward Zhao was so frightened by Steward Zhao's howl that he fainted on the spot.

Zhao the steward's howl woke up all the servants in the town mayor's mansion, and lights were turned on in every room and courtyard.

Xie Hanchuan and County Magistrate Fan were also alarmed and came out to see what was happening.

"Wife!" Xie Hanchuan saw Lin Luoxi standing awkwardly in place and called out in surprise.

“Honey, I knocked on the door, but no one answered, so I climbed over the wall to get in.”

Lin Luoxi looked at the unconscious Butler Zhao and the frightening doorman, and explained somewhat embarrassedly.

"Lord Fan, Mayor Zhao, this is my wife, who is also Princess Changping." Xie Hanchuan smiled and immediately introduced them to each other.

"Long live Princess Changping!" Upon hearing that the person who had scaled the wall was Princess Changping, Zhao Jiye immediately led everyone in the manor to perform the grand kowtow to Lin Luoxi.

"Okay, you can get up now!"

"I'm sorry to have troubled you by coming over so late at night."

She felt deeply sorry again for the two people she had frightened.

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all. It is my honor that the princess has graced us with her presence."

Knowing that Lin Luoxi had traveled a long way late at night and was tired, they immediately arranged for hot water to wash away her fatigue.

Fan Jiye originally wanted to have someone prepare food for Lin Luoxi, but Lin Luoxi refused, saying that it was unnecessary to make such a fuss so late at night. So she went back to Xie Hanchuan's courtyard.

"Honey, why did you suddenly come so late at night?"

"The road from Tiandeng County to here is steep and difficult to travel, especially at night. Aren't you afraid..."

Xie Hanchuan stood behind Lin Luoxi, drying her long, wet hair, his tone full of concern for her.

“I went to the county government office to look for you, but the clerk there said you’ve been in the countryside for eight or nine days and haven’t sent any news back. That’s why I rushed over here late at night because I was worried about you.”

"Yeah, I knew my wife cared about me." Xie Hanchuan finally smiled after hearing Lin Luoxi's words.

When people relax, they feel hungry. Lin Luoxi took Xie Hanchuan into the space and cooked something to eat inside.

"I haven't eaten anything this delicious in ages," Xie Hanchuan said, rubbing his full stomach with a satisfied expression.

Since he parted ways with Lin Luoxi and the others, he had been rushing towards Hongyuan Town with the county magistrate. Every day, he had only a dry pancake, which was the most luxurious thing he could afford.

Being able to have a full meal in this space is the greatest happiness right now.

The two ate and drank their fill in the space, and only left when it was dawn outside.

Lin Luoxi learned from Xie Hanchuan that Zhao Jiye had bought his position as town mayor.

But during his tenure, he was truly a good mayor who worked for the people.

In the face of this severe snow disaster, he donated most of his family fortune to do good deeds for the people.

Unfortunately, there were too many people in Hongyuan Town. Even after he gave away all his wealth, he still couldn't take care of all the people. A large portion of the population still suffered from the snow disaster.

After Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan left the space, they had a quick meal with the town mayor and the others before splitting up into several groups to visit the disaster-stricken villages.

Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan went one way, while County Magistrate Fan and Zhao Jiye went the other, heading towards the villages in the east and west directions respectively.

"We've already taken care of the villages near Hongyuan Town. The place we're going to now isn't too far." Xie Hanchuan explained their destination along the way.

"Well, it doesn't matter if it's a bit far, I hope the people can hold on." Lin Luoxi also told Xie Hanchuan about the cannibalism they had discovered earlier.

"In the face of disaster, the wickedness of human nature is most clearly revealed. In the villages we dealt with before, there were such cases, and we killed them all..."

“Even if we let those demons live, they will still do things that harm ordinary people in the future. It’s better to take this opportunity to kill them all.”

It's not that Xie Hanchuan is heartless, but this kind of demon who sacrifices others to ensure his own survival deserves to die.

"Yes, you did the right thing!"

"The children should be awake by now. Should we let them out?" Lin Luoxi thought about how she would explain coming to see Xie Hanchuan alone, and what if there were five extra people later?

"Let them out! Let them see the suffering in this world and the wickedness of people's hearts." Xie Hanchuan thought for a moment and decided to release the children.

"good!"

"Mother, Father!"

Since Xie Hanchuan had said so, Lin Luoxi released all the children.

Once the children came out, they didn't throw a tantrum. Instead, they followed Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan towards the villages scattered in various corners of the village.

With Bai Lang and Xie Leyao around, Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan were able to find the village much faster.

"Father, Mother, look, there's smoke rising over there. There must be someone there."

Xie Zhili pointed to a mountain valley surrounded by mountains. It was lunchtime, and wisps of smoke could be seen rising from the chimneys.

"Okay, let's go take a look!"

Now that we've found the village, and they're still cooking over fires, the disaster shouldn't be too severe.

Hello, is anyone home?

Lin Luoxi and her family walked down the mountain valley and arrived at the first house. They politely stepped forward and knocked on the door.
