An hour later, my fifth uncle came carrying a large package.
Huo Sijin and Qin Su waited outside in their car. This time, they drove a car that had been hit many times and had countless dents in its body.
In the apocalypse, having a car is already incredibly impressive; to drive a nice car is practically flaunting wealth.
Showing off wealth in the apocalypse will only result in being robbed.
Although Huo Sijin is there, so there's no fear of being robbed, it's still not a good situation.
Uncle Wu got into the car and was very satisfied with the completely different decorations inside and outside the car, as well as the full load of supplies.
"Not bad, the preparation is quite satisfactory."
Even though he secretly agreed, my stubborn fifth uncle still didn't want to openly praise him.
"Thank you, Fifth Uncle. I will continue to work hard."
Huo Sijin didn't mind and calmly made the promise while driving.
In her previous life, Qin Su heard that her second uncle had established a base in Xijiang, while her third uncle had established a base in Dongjiang, not far from Xijiang. The two each occupied one side and cooperated with each other, making Dongjiang and Xijiang very powerful.
However, according to Fifth Uncle, they should have planned to return to Wancheng. Why did they end up going to Xijiang and Dongjiang, which are so far away from Wancheng?
"Hey, Huo Sijin, where are you going? This isn't the route from Wancheng to Kyoto!"
Fifth Uncle watched the car head towards Xijiang and quickly spoke up.
"Fifth Uncle, I sent people out before, and it seems that both of you uncles have headed towards Xijiang."
It's impossible to talk about things from the past life, but Qin Su did send people out to investigate, though they didn't find out anything.
"Didn't we agree to go to Wancheng? What are these two doing in Xijiang?"
Fifth Uncle was equally puzzled.
The car continued on its way, encountering several robbers along the way, all of whom were dealt with by Huo Sijin.
Fifth Uncle and Qin Su didn't even have a chance to get out of the car.
“This kid is pretty strong, but he's also dangerous if he commits domestic violence. Su Su, you should think it over carefully and don't let yourself be easily fooled.”
He paused for a moment, then continued to persuade him.
"Men should just have fun. This is the apocalypse; the most important thing is to protect yourself."
Qin Su's eyes widened. Good heavens, did a male elder really say that?
Haha, men can just play around with it?
"Okay, Fifth Uncle, I understand."
Qin Su obediently agreed, then smiled slyly at Huo Sijin, whose face was full of helplessness.
Huo Sijin has excellent hearing; he heard everything his fifth uncle said.
This little woman actually went along with her fifth uncle, saying that it was fine to just play with him?
The anger materialized and attacked the opponent.
Ahhhhhh...
The person blocking the way was beaten until he trembled and retreated repeatedly, only to be grabbed back and beaten again.
"These people are terrifying, we need to run for our lives."
People scrambled away, and soon there was no one around.
Huo Sijin returned to the car and continued driving, but her face was dark, and she was visibly unhappy.
"Su Su, let me tell you, a man's emotions are very important. You should never date a man who can't control his emotions and always has a sour face. Such a man might even commit domestic violence, which is really dangerous."
"Fifth Uncle, I will not commit domestic violence."
Huo Sijin immediately denied it.
"snort."
Fifth Uncle snorted coldly. He still preferred that his niece find someone decent. After all, if Huo Sijin really made a move, he was afraid that even if he tried his best, he wouldn't be able to beat her.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was tense and fearing that it would cause a bigger misunderstanding, Qin Su quickly explained.
"Fifth Uncle, he ate my poison. If he treats me badly, the poison can kill him."
Upon hearing this, Fifth Uncle's eyes widened immediately.
"Poison, poison?"
Is it really that ruthless?
"Heh, heh heh heh, Su Su is so smart, she did the right thing."
Okay, from this perspective, Huo Sijin isn't bad. But he still doesn't like him, and that can't be changed.
After five days on the road, we finally arrived in Xijiang.
Unlike other cities, Xijiang is very orderly. There are guards at the entrance who will come over to check when they see a car.
"A pound of coarse grain is required to enter the West City."
Qin Su frowned: "Do we have to pay grain just to enter the city?"
The young man guarding the gate explained, "Miss, you don't know this. We used to offer free services here, but some people thought that since we were offering free services, there must be plenty of supplies in the city, so they came to steal them. That's why the city lord set up a threshold."
"So, if they hand over the grain, they won't rob anymore?"
Fifth Uncle scoffed: "The one who handed over the grain might just be a big thief."
"Robbers don't take food out of their pockets, and besides, aren't we here guarding this place?"
The young gatekeeper brandished his weapon, speaking with great confidence.
Qin Su paid the toll with three catties of coarse grains. When the young man let them pass, he also told them that there were many guards patrolling the city, so their safety was very guaranteed.
This is also a way of telling them not to do anything reckless, or they will be arrested.
"This western part of the city is set up like it's from ancient times."
Uncle Wu sighed. There were quite a few people walking back and forth on the street, and quite a few stalls.
The stalls sell both grains and daily necessities.
Compared to many cities I've seen before, this western city is indeed very orderly.
Qin Su became increasingly convinced that her second uncle was definitely in Xicheng. The scenery of Xicheng was exactly the same as what she had heard about in her previous life.
Ding ding ding!
Suddenly, the sound of gongs rang out in the square in front.
"The city lord has ordered that the city gates be closed immediately."
Suddenly, the noisy crowd on the street dispersed, and in the blink of an eye, the street became quiet.
"You three just arrived, right? Are you looking for a place to stay? Or is it okay if you don't? Why don't you come in and hide for a while? Monsters are going to invade soon, it's very dangerous outside."
Following the sound, the three saw a head peeking out from a crack in a door not far away.
How much does it cost to stay at the hotel?
Qin Su asked.
The man sensed a business opportunity and his smile deepened.
"Half a pound of coarse grains per room per day, no meals provided. One pound of coarse grains, then meals provided."
"Let me tell you, our store is not expensive, it's definitely great value for money."
Qin Su raised an eyebrow: "Then open it for us..."
"Three rooms!"
Before Qin Su could finish speaking, her third uncle hurriedly interrupted.
"Su Su, we can't let some people take advantage of us just to save a little bit of coarse grain."
After saying that, he glared at Huo Sijin fiercely.
Huo Sijin: ...
"Alright, please come in, all three of you."
When the shop door opened, the interior was simply furnished. The so-called rooms were just individual cubicles with simple wire beds inside, which would creak when you lay down on them.
This room is so cramped that even a slightly overweight person would find it too crowded.
Qin Su suddenly realized that even half a pound of coarse grains was quite expensive.
"Hehe, it's a bit small, but it's safe to stay at my shop," the owner chuckled.
roar!
Just then, the roar of a wild beast came from outside, and the boss turned pale.
"Oh no, the monster is back again."
