Chapter 341: Wind Stop Inn

On the way, the chattering voices around me were inexplicably gone.

"If you don't want to leave, it's not too late to go back now."

He could sense that the person next to him was somewhat silent, so Lu Wuhui stopped and looked at her.

But Luo Diandian thought about it and shook his head.

"...After all, Xiaohuo hasn't been home for a long time, and it's not very convenient to carry it with you in the mortal world."

"Let it stay here for a while. When this is over, I'll ask it if it wants to go back with me."

But Lu Wuhui disagreed, "Escape is not a good habit. You could have asked it what it was thinking just now."

Luo Diandian knew that he was reminding her not to be like before, not to say nothing and make decisions on her own without knowing what the other person was thinking.

But she understood all this, but she also saw that the Great Elder Yan Jing was on the verge of death.

Life is coming to an end, and this is the way of nature. It cannot be compensated in any other way.

Even if she secretly gave Xiaohuo some longevity pills, she was afraid that he would only live for one or two years at most.

When dying, the other party must have hoped that the tribe could have someone to rely on, which is why he made this request.

Besides, fortunately they came back in time, and Luo Diandian also wanted Xiaohuo to spend the rest of his time with her.

Xiaohuo has been with her for so long, she can't take away its remaining rights, and she also doesn't want it to be in a dilemma.

Listening to Luo Diandian's slow narration of the whole story, Lu Wuhui silently took her into his arms, and finally responded with a "yes".

"I'll always be there for you."

The two heartbeats kept on echoing each other, and Luo Diandian buried her head in his chest and responded with a sound as soft as a mosquito's hum.

Everything was put aside for the time being, and now the two of them only had one thing on their mind.

…

Step into the teleportation array.

After a moment, my toes touched the ground. The air was burned dry and my breath seemed to contain broken sparks.

Luo Diandian couldn't help but frown and couldn't help but move closer to the natural refrigerator next to her.

Lu Wuhui looked at the sneaky behavior of the person in front of him and directly pulled her hand.

Luo Diandian: ...

Instantly, a cool and refreshing feeling went up my arms, dispelling the restlessness in my heart.

Since he was so proactive, Luo Diandian naturally did not refuse. She happily shook his hand and walked forward.

The scenery along the way in the north is very different from that in the south. The scorching sun above is like a red-hot iron plate hanging in the sky, with no clouds.

The surrounding dry and cracked earth was as scorching and cracked as a furnace, with sparse vegetation and exposed rocks that would turn to ash if touched.

Luo Diandian opened the still lagging map and took a look, and found that this was originally a fertile plain area, but now the scenery was almost like a desert.

I didn’t think much of this drought when I heard about it before, but now it’s really shocking.

Walking forward in the dust, Luo Diandian wanted to find someone to ask for directions. After all, everything here was very different from what was on the map.

After an unknown amount of time, the two finally saw a hazy, slightly old wooden building in the wind and sand.

It lies alone beside the official road at the foot of the stone ridge, its loess walls cracked by the sun, and a faded wine flag hangs in front of the door.

There were only three guests sitting in the courtyard, each at a table, eating and drinking. The shopkeeper was counting on an abacus behind the counter, his voice drowned out by the wind.

Looking at the words "Tingfeng Inn" written on the shabby plaque, Luo Diandian and Lu Wuhui stepped in.

Wind chimes rang outside the door, and their powerful spiritual senses allowed them to realize at the same time that although several people in the courtyard were doing different things, they were always staring at them vaguely.

After gently squeezing the hand of the person next to him, Luo Diandian found a place to sit down.

Soon, a short waiter came forward and said with a smile, "My two guests, what can I do for you, drinks or food?"

Luo Diandian asked, "Waiter, how much is a pot of water?"

The waiter smiled and replied respectfully, "Sir, twenty cents a pot."

Luo Diandian couldn't help but frown slightly. Twenty cents for a pot of water?

In restaurants on weekdays, water is often served as a "favor" without any extra charge. At the very least, in high-end restaurants, a pot of water costs only one or two cents at most.

Now it has increased tenfold or twentyfold, so I wonder how other things will become as well.

But despite her surprise, she didn't show it on her face. Without hesitation, she said, "Then bring me two pots of water, a bowl of noodles, and a snack."

Then he threw down a purse.

Hearing what she ordered and the bag on the table, the waiter's eyes flashed slightly, and he quickly agreed, "Okay, sir, please wait a moment!"

Then he turned around, the smile on his face getting even deeper.

Soon, the things I asked for were served. I looked at the noodles with a slightly cloudy soup base in front of me, and the simple mung bean cake on the side.

Luo Diandian handed Lu Wuhui a pair of chopsticks and said, "Eat quickly, my husband. Although it's a little simple, it's better to have a full stomach so that you can continue your journey."

Lu Wuhui was silent for a while, stared at her for a while, and finally took the chopsticks.

He quickly finished the noodle soup with a slurp, and after drinking some water, Luo Diandian put down the bowl in his hand with satisfaction.

Then he paused for a moment and said...how long does it take for this ordinary knockout drug to take effect?

So he asked the people around him through voice transmission.

"I don't know." Lu Wuhui glanced at her and knew that she was going to perform anywhere.

It's so rare to come across a robbery scene in a TV series, how can I not act it out?

Finally, under Luo Diandian's pleading gaze, Lu Wuhui agreed.

I don’t know how long it took, but seeing that the two men were still as steady as a rock, and were even getting up to leave, the people observing in the dark felt a little anxious.

"You useless piece of shit, did you put too little stuff in?"

"No, they are all normal dosages. Normal people will see the effects quickly after taking them."

"Forget it, let's wait a little longer."

Over there, Luo Diandian, who had just stood up, suddenly supported her head and said, "Oh, my husband, I feel a little dizzy. Please help me up."

Lu Wuhui: ...

He reached out and pulled her in, and then under the gaze of several pairs of eyes, the two of them fell on the table.

One moment, two moments...

Seeing that the two people in front of them showed no sign of waking up, the three people sitting around them stood up instantly, and the chairs made a harsh sound.

At this time, the long sword hidden below also appeared in his hand.

The waiter who was in the room just now also hurried out, following the man with a sword at his waist.

The man came to the two of them and cautiously kicked the tip of the man's shoe with his toes. Seeing no reaction, he was relieved.

"It seems the fish this time is really big. In this world, you're still lavishly eating cakes to fill your stomach."

He picked up the purse hanging brightly around the woman's waist, weighed it, and nodded with satisfaction.

The waiter beside him was a little surprised when he saw this. "This dress looks very unique. I guess it can sell for a lot of money."

The man nodded and said, "Then strip them. Sell the men as laborers to dig wells. As for the woman... she looks delicate and tender. If we offer her to the boss, we might get some benefits."

Hearing this, he didn't notice that the person under his nose felt a slight weight on his hand.

Luo Diandian originally wanted to hear if the other party could say anything useful. This title of "big boss" probably doesn't mean an ordinary bandit, right?

But she felt that Lu Wuhui beside her was unable to suppress his emotions.

At this moment, one of the three people nearby suddenly laughed wickedly and said, "Since she's already married, before offering her to the boss, why don't we..."

“Zheng——”

The sword rang out suddenly, and three blood lines were drawn.

In an instant, three gurgling sounds of things landing and rolling were heard.

The person who spoke hadn't even reacted yet. His eyes were wide open and his consciousness was blurred. He only saw his body still standing there.

The leader's face was covered in splattered blood. He stared blankly at the black-haired and white-clothed man in front of him, holding the woman beside him in his arms without getting a single drop of blood on her.

What the other person was holding in his hand was the long sword that he had drawn from his waist at some point in time.

Blood was dripping down the tip of the sword.
