Lin Lang's lips curled up slightly, "So what?"
A priest stepped forward and said in his broken Mandarin, "Sir, this is what we are talking about. We would like to buy this little zombie from you for a lot of money. We hope you will agree."
“Chichi…”
The little zombie grabbed Lin Lang's collar tightly and looked at him pitifully.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, I won't sell you out!"
Lin Lang patted the little zombie's head and said to the priest, "I can't sell you this little zombie, but do you want the other zombies?"
The priest was delighted and asked quickly, "Yes, yes, yes, where is it?"
Lin Lang fiddled with the little zombie's teeth and said with a smile, "Give it a bite and you'll become a zombie, and you won't have to spend all that money to buy one. Don't you think this is a good deal?"
The priest was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to react. He found that Lin Lang had already walked away, and he couldn't help shaking his head.
"Alas! People in this country are so rude."
…
Lin Lang walked into Jiuquan Town and bought a candied haws from a vendor selling them.
“Chichi…”
The little zombie held the candied haws and licked it, with a happy smile on his face.
As a zombie, he couldn't taste anything, but as long as he had something in his hand, no matter what it was, he would feel happy.
"Master Daodao, is this kid... a zombie?"
When the peddler saw the little zombie's fangs, he couldn't help but tremble.
Lin Lang patted the little zombie's head and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous. Children's canine teeth grow quickly. It's normal."
The vendor's face was stiff. What the hell are these tiger teeth? Do you think I'm blind?
"By the way, may I ask where Uncle Jiu lives?" Lin Lang asked.
The vendor swallowed and said, moving away from Lin Lang, "We don't have Uncle Nine here."
Lin Lang frowned, "Do you have any Maoshan disciples here who specialize in catching ghosts?"
The vendor thought for a moment and said, "Some time ago, there was a guy who came here. We called him Brother Nine. He was a very nice guy, but very young. I wonder if he is the Uncle Nine you are looking for."
"Thank you!"
Lin Lang asked the vendor for the address and then left.
The peddler wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at the receding figure with a pale face.
"This Taoist priest actually raised a little zombie. He's definitely not a good person. He went to find Brother Nine. Could he have some bad intentions?"
"No, we should notify the mayor first. Brother Jiu looked at the Feng Shui for our town last time, and our business has been much smoother. We can't let anything happen to Brother Jiu."
As he said this, he carried the candied haws stand and ran hurriedly towards the mayor's house.
…
In the yard, Lin Fengjiao stood with her hands behind her back, looking up at the starry sky, feeling like crying.
He took out an envelope from his arms and looked at the familiar handwriting on it, feeling very uncomfortable.
Ninth brother, I am glad to see you in person.
I got the news about you from your junior fellow student Mamadi. After thinking about it for a long time, I finally decided to write this letter to you.
I'm getting married. Yes, Brother Jiu, you heard it right. I'm getting married.
His name is Awei, and he is now the commander-in-chief of Weijia Town. The one you have seen before is the one who looks a little wretched but cares about me very much.
Ever since you left without saying goodbye, Awei has been very good to me. Whatever I want or need, he will satisfy me unconditionally.
But this is not the real reason why I chose Avi.
I still remember that day when your junior sister accidentally offended a master and was eventually beaten up by that master.
But don't worry, although that master has an unstable temperament and is lawless, he is clear about right and wrong and will not make things difficult for your junior sister.
In order to get information about you, I actually used Awei's soldiers as a bargaining chip. I asked Awei to help her teach that expert a lesson, and she told me information about you.
Haha, isn’t it ridiculous? I think so too.
In order to find you, and in order to avoid being forced by my father to marry Awei, I made a decision that day: I would stay away from Weijia Town.
But when I left Weijia Town alone and started making a living outside, I realized that life is really not easy.
Brother Jiu, I’m so tired, I’m really tired, I really want you to be with me.
At this moment, I suddenly understood my father a little. He forced me to marry Awei not just for money.
He did this so that I wouldn't have to worry about life in the future and wouldn't have to endure other people's cold stares for such a small amount of money.
But I don’t regret it at all. As long as I can wait for you to come back, I am not afraid of the hard work.
After that, I met the sloppy junior brother Mamadi you mentioned. He stayed at my place for a few days and finally told me your whereabouts.
I was so happy at that time that I immediately quit my job and set out to find you.
On the way, I met some bad guys who caught me, stole all my money, and tried to molest me.
In desperation, I told them that my family was very rich and that if they let me go, I would send someone to give them a lot of money.
They agreed, and I was safe for the time being.
I wrote a letter to Awei, asking him to come and rescue me. Soon, Awei came with soldiers and all the money in the house, just to rescue me.
In order to rescue me, he offered to use himself as a hostage in exchange for my leaving.
At that moment, I had mixed feelings. When I was in the most dangerous moment, the one who risked his life to save me was not you.
Awei used his sincerity to win a little favor from me.
Afterwards, Awei was injured, very seriously. It was then that I learned that his father had died during the campaign against horse bandits, and he had no relatives left.
During the time I was taking care of Awei, I thought for a long time that in your heart, there are many things that are more important than me.
You are excellent in slaying demons and upholding justice. You will definitely be a hero admired by everyone in the future.
But these are not the reasons why I fell in love with you. All I want is someone who loves me, a good husband.
Unfortunately, you probably can’t do any of these!
But Awei is different. He can give up his army, his wealth, everything for me.
After going through all this, I finally understand that you are not right for me and I am not right for you.
So I accepted Awei's proposal and wrote this letter.
…
Lin Fengjiao's hands trembled, and her heart trembled too.
He regretted so much. He regretted not explaining the reason to Lianmei before leaving. He regretted not taking Lianmei with him. He regretted volunteering to take the job in Jiuquan Town in front of his master.
If he had thought more about Lianmei's feelings at that time, the situation would not have turned out like this.
Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world, only results.
Lianmei is getting married. Should I bless her?
Lin Fengjiao didn't know that he was filled with hatred, regret, heartache, and bitterness.
A variety of complex emotions surged in my heart, but in the end, I could only sigh.
"Ah..." His upright figure suddenly hunched a little.
Suddenly, a loud roar seemed to respond to him.
"roar!!"
Lin Fengjiao's face changed, zombie!
