Chapter 208 Little Zombie's Black Moonlight Taoist Priest 06
Shen Xinran began to pack her things, while Yue Minglei left the room. "Mother-in-law, we've been staying here for one night and it's been quite a hassle for you. Please accept this small token of our appreciation."
The old woman, still sweeping the floor, quickly waved her hands and said, "Hey, this house is for people to live in. You can't do this to me."
"We don't have much money on us. If you don't accept it, it means you think it's too little." Yue Minglei said as he forcefully stuffed the money into the old woman's arms.
The old woman stamped her feet in anger, saying helplessly, "How can you be so polite, kid?"
Yue Minglei is a zombie. Although it is not obvious at first glance, people will definitely find out after a long period of contact.
Shen Xinran knew this very well, so she packed up her things and prepared to leave quietly with Yue Minglei.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Zicheng discovered them. He hugged Yue Minglei's thigh tightly, unwilling to let go, "Brother Yue, are you leaving? Please stay with me for a few more days!"
Yue Minglei leaned over and gently stroked Cheng Zicheng's head, his eyes full of tenderness. "I'll come back to see you later. You must listen to your grandparents at home and eat well."
Cheng Zicheng lowered his head and said gloomily, "When I grow up, I will join the army too."
Yue Minglei was slightly stunned, then asked seriously: "Why do you want to join the army?"
Cheng Zicheng tilted his head, his eyes gleaming with longing, "Because you are a soldier, and my father is also a soldier. If I can become a soldier too, we can always be together."
Yue Minglei was stunned for a moment, and he said softly: "If possible, it is better not to join the army."
Cheng Zicheng's face showed confusion, "Why?"
Yue Minglei's smile was filled with helplessness. "If you join the army, who will take care of grandma and grandpa?"
Cheng Zicheng thought about it and felt that Yue Minglei was right. He nodded and said, "Then I won't participate."
When the old woman heard the sound, she came out with a bag of steaming buns. "These are freshly steamed. Take them with you on the way."
Yue Minglei waved his hand subconsciously, "No need."
The old woman glared at him, her tone tinged with reproach, "Why? Do you dislike my cooking skills?"
Yue Minglei looked at the old woman's determined eyes and knew that he could not refuse her kindness, so he had to take the bag of buns.
After leaving the Cheng family, Shen Xinran took Yue Minglei to the suburbs. As soon as they walked out of the county town, Yue Minglei stopped.
This made Shen Xinran's eyes widen, "You're not going to regret it again!"
If Yue Minglei continues like this, don't blame her for using violence again!
Yue Minglei turned around and said seriously, "I tell you, even if you get me, you can't get my heart."
Shen Xinran looked at Yue Minglei's serious expression and frowned slightly. If it weren't for the needs of the plot, she wouldn't even want to have you, let alone your heart.
Yue Minglei continued, "If you want me to sincerely accept you as my master, you have to promise me three things."
Shen Xinran suddenly became interested and asked Yue Minglei, "Which three things?"
Yue Minglei said in a deep voice: "Although I am a zombie, I also have my own thoughts and I want freedom. So you can't use a single thread to tie me down."
Shen Xinran's eyes flashed, and he nodded with a smile, "That's no problem."
As the name suggests, "a thread of tying" is about tying two people together. However, this spell has a drawback: whoever is more powerful becomes the boss.
She can restrain Yue Minglei now, but when Yue Minglei's energy increases, she will not be able to restrain him, and the boss will naturally become Yue Minglei.
Therefore, even without Yue Minglei's request, Shen Xinran would not be able to use any tricks on him.
A glimmer of joy flashed in Yue Minglei's eyes, "I still want to go back."
Shen Xinran frowned and asked, "Where to go back to?"
Yue Minglei's voice was low and firm: "Return to Shanhaiguan. My brothers are still lying there. I want to go back and bury them."
Shen Xinran's eyes widened. "Let's not even talk about how much money it cost me to get here from Shanhaiguan. Do you know how much effort it took me to get you here from Shanhaiguan?"
Yue Minglei lowered his head and remained silent.
Shen Xinran rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "It's okay if you want to go back, but you have to push the cart!"
Yue Minglei frowned, "Why?"
"Just because I am your master, just because you want to go back!" After Shen Xinran finished speaking, he sat on the cart. Don't even think about asking her to walk back.
Seeing this, Yue Minglei resigned himself to his fate, pulled up the handrail, and pushed Shen Xinran in the opposite direction.
You know what, Yue Minglei seems to be tireless, and one day's journey is enough to match Shen Xinran's two-day journey.
Shen Xinran only needed to lazily direct the direction, secretly delighted in her heart that Yue Minglei's endurance and speed saved her a lot of effort.
However, Yue Minglei is not always so obedient, and he occasionally makes his own small requests.
"That chicken blood doesn't taste good. Can you give me another one?"
Shen Xinran frowned, "If chicken blood doesn't taste good, what else do you want to drink? Human blood?"
Yue Minglei's voice was filled with anticipation. "No, duck blood will do."
Shen Xinran shook his head subconsciously, "How dare you think that? Do you know how expensive a duck is?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Minglei simply stopped and refused to move forward, expressing his dissatisfaction with silence.
Shen Xinran sighed and thought to himself that maybe he should give Yue Minglei a small reward. "Okay, I'll buy you a duck when we get to the next village."
As she said this, she was thinking that she was tired of eating roast chicken, so she could have a roast duck for a change of taste.
When Yue Minglei heard this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and then he dragged the cart and continued forward.
Shen Xinran did what he said. When they arrived at the next village, he bought a duck from the villagers.
While she was roasting the duck, Yue Minglei sat obediently under a tree nearby, drinking duck blood quietly.
The aroma of roast duck filled the air, and Yue Minglei couldn't help but ask, "Can I have some roast duck?"
Shen Xinran nodded and said nonchalantly, "Of course."
Yue Minglei was delighted. He walked over to Shen Xinran, tore off a duck leg, and was about to taste it when he heard Shen Xinran say leisurely, "If you're not afraid of diarrhea, then eat it!"
This made Yue Minglei freeze, and he asked, "Why?"
Shen Xinran replied expressionlessly: "You are a zombie now. Can you digest the food eaten by living people?"
"Then why didn't you say so earlier!" Yue Minglei glared at Shen Xinran, put down the duck leg, returned to the big tree, and continued to drink his duck blood.
Shen Xinran looked at this scene and nodded with satisfaction. She ate meat while Yue Minglei drank blood. It seemed that Yue Minglei was quite easy to feed.
After walking for about seven days, the man and the zombie finally returned to Shanhaiguan. As long as they passed through the city wall ahead, they would reach the battlefield outside the city.
Shen Xinran lay on the cart, enjoying the gentle breeze on her face. Yue Minglei pushed her forward steadily.
But when they arrived at the city gate, they saw soldiers standing all around. Shen Xinran frowned slightly, feeling strange. Half a month ago, this place was still accessible, so what happened now?
Yue Minglei also saw the soldiers guarding the city, and an uncontrollable feeling of resentment surged in his heart.
He wanted to rush over, but he knew he couldn't do that yet.
So he put down the cart and ran back.
