Chapter 214: Night Walking Divine Firearm
Tu Huan and Xie Yuchuan had a cross-border chat on WeChat and booked a flight to Haicheng for the weekend.
She will go there on Saturday and attend the wedding on Sunday. As for the return trip... she thought about it for a while and has not decided yet. She will see how the situation develops later.
He sorted out about two baskets of supplies, including food, clothing, and medicine, and told Xie Yuchuan to take good care of them and deliver them directly to the two woven baskets they had emptied before.
This time, in addition to daily supplies, Tu Huan thought carefully and specially gave Xie Yuchuan a solar flashlight. It was neither too big nor too small, and in ancient times it could last for at least five hours. It was a must-have artifact for walking in the wild.
This was the only thing that Tu Huan specifically reminded Xie Yuchuan about.
"I'll give you a magical fire weapon for night travel. It doesn't require any fire. Just remember to put it in the sun during the day and dry it. It will then guide you."
At first, Xie Yuchuan didn't understand why it could be used just by drying it in the sun.
Divine fire weapon, what is the divine fire like?
The army was endless and the convicts hid aside and could only wait.
After waiting for a long time, those who were standing were tired, so they squatted, sat or lay down. Some were weak and took a rest whenever they had a chance. Among the others, some did not feel sleepy at all despite the tense environment, while others talked quietly with their families.
Since leaving the capital until now, most of the fugitives have accepted their fate and adapted to this pace of travel.
It would be great if it could be like this on the road ahead, but unfortunately everyone knew that it was impossible.
Most of the heavy supplies of the Xie family are on the men's side. After Xie Yuchuan finished chatting with the family god, he turned around and saw Xie Wuying and others surrounding Zhang Dayi and listening attentively, with a slightly moved expression.
Looking at Zhang Dayi with a hint of gratitude, Zhang Dayi smiled and didn't feel that he had done anything.
Seeing Xie Yuchuan's relaxed expression, I knew he was in a good mood.
He walked to the middle of the Xie family guards. Not far from him was a pile of Xie family's things. He reached out and gently shook two woven baskets. He was silent for a moment, and the next second he felt the two woven baskets in his hands suddenly shook slightly.
Xie Wuying, who had noticed his sixth brother's unusual behavior early on, lit up his eyes.
I saw two small hills suddenly appearing under the empty cover.
It must have been given by the household god!
Zhang Dayi was not far away. When he saw this scene for the first time, his heart skipped a beat. He felt that he was really old and couldn't keep calm even when seeing a miracle.
Xie Wuying squatted down and asked quietly, "Sixth brother, was it given by the family god?"
Xie Yuchuan nodded. He was thinking about the "magic fire weapon" that the family god mentioned that could be used to guide the way at night. He reached out and searched for a while, and finally touched a hard object that was somewhat heavy.
This thing should be the magic fire weapon that the family god mentioned, Xie Yuchuan thought.
He didn't take the things out, but moved them carefully to the side of the basket, gently pulled the cover open a little, and looked down at it.
Xie Yuchuan stared at the material he had never seen before for a long time.
The divine fire uses sunlight as fuel?
Xie Wuying didn't know what he was looking at. Just as he was about to come over, he saw Xie Yuchuan pulling up the curtain and looking up at the sky. It was bright and clear, so he opened the curtain a little and, following the instructions of the family god, dried the artifact in the sun.
His series of bizarre actions aroused the curiosity of several people around him, but they could not get any explanation from Xie Yuchuan, so they were all scratching their heads and waiting.
After Xie Yuchuan stood up, he solemnly instructed the guard who was carrying the heavy load, "Be careful with the things inside when you walk, don't bump into them."
Several people looked at each other and nodded heavily.
"Master, don't worry!"
After Xie Yuchuan left, several people gathered together and speculated with each other, "What do you think it could be?"
A few people shook their heads and went to ask Xie Wuying. Their young master Wuying had already gone to Xie Yuchuan and Zhang Dayi to inquire about the news.
Not long after, Xie Wuying came back and whispered with several people face to face for a while, and their faces changed.
"Relax and don't show any abnormality." Xie Wuying reminded everyone.
"Yes, we will listen to Young Master Wuying." The guards nodded heavily.
But having said that, everyone still couldn't help but take a few glances at the inconspicuous woven basket.
The family god actually gave them the Xie family's magical weapon?!
There were many people around during the day, and Xie Yuchuan behaved as usual without doing anything out of the ordinary.
Seeing that the army had been marching for a long time but still had not finished, he discussed with Zhang Dayi and decided to draw the map of Laozhou that the family god wanted to see as soon as possible while it was still daylight.
On the way to the Xie family, Zhang Dayi had paper and pen, thanks to Xie Zhen who came along halfway. He spread out half a sheet of paper, which was roughly the size of an unfolded book, and roughly marked out the uncertain picture according to his memory.
The two men faced each other, blocked outside by the Xie family guards. Soon, a simple map of Laozhou was drawn.
Zhang Dayi's tone was quite regretful: "I'm ashamed. I don't remember it clearly. This is all I can recall. I don't know if it will be appreciated by the gods."
Xie Yuchuan picked up the map and blew it dry gently until the ink was no longer smudged. He said comfortably, "Sir, don't worry too much. The family god is kind and won't care about these things."
"That's good, that's good."
Zhang Dayi kept muttering to himself that he had been drafting documents for the emperor for many years, but this was the first time in his life that he picked up a pen to write for a god. It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous, for he was afraid that any stroke he made would be wrong and offend the god's eyes.
I was worried and my writing was not smooth. I wasted a piece of paper before I finally found the feeling.
During the exile, paper and pen were precious. I had never been so nervous when I was writing furiously in the Hanlin Academy before, but now I had to be frugal with even a little ink.
After the map of Laozhou was completed, Xie Yuchuan glanced around calmly, covered it with his sleeve, and concentrated on offering it.
In a moment, the scroll in the sleeve disappeared out of thin air!
bite--
[Received a blueprint and stored it in the host's system backpack.]
Tu Huan had just finished packing the next batch of supplies to be delivered to the Xie family in the utility room before going upstairs.
Then you hear the system prompt sound.
He walked to the coffee table and opened the system backpack, only to see a roll of drawings in the topmost newly received item slot.
She took out the drawings and spread them out on the coffee table.
The next second, I was stunned.
ah?
This, this...
What are these hooks and lines in the painting?
She... doesn't quite understand the ancient map?
what to do?
The phone rang.
"Xie Yuchuan: While in exile, it was difficult to find a map of Laozhou. Fortunately, former Hanlin scholar Zhang Dayi had a few glimpses of it. I can only make this sketch for now. It's a bit rough, but I wonder if it will be of any help to the family deity?"
After reading the message, Tu Huan casually replied, "Did Lord Zhang draw this?"
On the other side, after Xie Yuchuan offered the map, he soon heard the response from the family god, and knew that the family god had received the map.
He looked at Zhang Dayi who was staring at him with burning eyes, smiled slightly, and responded with concentration:
"Xie Yuchuan: Exactly. Master Zhang has done his best."
Tu Huan took another look at the "simple drawing" that she couldn't quite understand, but she still thanked him, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for me." After thinking for a moment, she adopted their tone and said, "Thank you."
"Xie Yuchuan: It is our blessing to be able to share the worries of the family gods."
Tu Huan looked up and her eyes inadvertently swept across a box of fresh strawberries that she had just bought from the supermarket that afternoon.
He stared for a moment.
Directly feed Xie Yuchuan a box of strawberries.
Tu Huan: "This fruit is called strawberry. It's delicious and hard to store. I'm giving it to Zhang Dayi to try as a token of my appreciation."
