"Yeah?"
I turned around and stared into the old woman's eyes, trying to find the answer there, but she avoided my gaze.
"Yes, brother, I don't talk to Sister Leng that much, especially about Hua Hua, I really don't know much about it!"
However, there is definitely something wrong with Hua Hua; she hasn't changed in many years!
The older woman regained her composure and carefully analyzed Hua Hua's situation for me.
"Wait a minute, sis! I have a question. Before, Chen and I were led into a secret passage by Hua Hua and almost got lost. It was Fatty who led us out!"
At this moment, Lao Dao suddenly remembered something. Lao Dao was referring to the day Hua Hua took us to the cellar, the time when Lao Dao and I got lost.
I still remember clearly that it was that time that Fatty Sister specially ran into the cellar to bring the two of us out, and at that time Fatty Sister's face was half rotten.
I quickly explained the details to the older woman, telling her that we encountered two eggs in the secret passage, and that when Fatty Sister brought us back, she was injured.
Upon hearing this, the woman's expression changed drastically; she had never expected such a thing to happen.
"Brother, do you mean you swallowed one of the two eggs in the secret passage? And you haven't dealt with the other one?"
The woman's expression was clearly panicked; this was completely beyond her expectations.
I nodded: "Yes, at the time I thought it best to leave a way out for everything, so I left the last egg untouched!"
"Does that mean I should have eaten both eggs instead of leaving them?" I looked at him strangely. It seemed that I had made a mistake by leaving myself an out.
"It's good that it was kept. It's a pity that Sister Leng is no longer here. If that egg hadn't been dealt with, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"
The woman gave a wry smile after hearing this, and then began to tell me the story of the egg.
The old lady told me that this egg contains extremely powerful energy, but ordinary demons cannot get close to it because Fatty Sister is there to guard it.
My situation was different because I had divine protection at the time, so it was easy to break through.
Now that Fatty died for me, and the remaining egg is left unprotected, the consequences would be unimaginable if it fell into the wrong hands.
I never imagined things would be this serious!
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go over there right away!"
I slapped my thigh and immediately grabbed Lao Dao and the old lady, ready to head towards the guesthouse.
If what the old lady said is true, then if we don't deal with it quickly, it could lead to a serious problem.
"The expressway connecting the county town and the village has been cut off, so we have to take the main road!"
After listening, the woman shook her head and told me that the situation was not that simple.
All we can do now is take the main road. According to the old lady's calculations, it will take at least until the afternoon.
"It's okay, little sister! Chen and I are in good health, so if we really can't manage, I'll let—no, I mean, let Chen carry us!"
Lao Dao originally wanted to volunteer, but after glancing at me next to him, he immediately changed his mind.
"Okay, let's go now. Little sister, if you can't handle it, I can carry you!"
I looked at the older woman calmly; of course, those words about carrying someone on one's back were just polite formalities.
Without a clear affirmation, it is a rejection.
The older woman told me with a serious expression that she would do her best to get us there.
Along the way, I learned a lot about Fatty Sister and Flower from the older woman.
As I guessed before, Fatty Sister has actually done a lot of bad things over the years. She has always been trying to absorb yang energy and then transmit it to her sister in the attic.
I just don't know why they let me and Lao Dao off the hook this time.
"Maybe it's because I'm the Owl God! Fatty told me that before! Little sister, you mentioned a similar guess to me before!"
I spoke calmly, but I knew things were definitely not as simple as they seemed.
Because Fatty Sister only found out about my tattoo after she rescued me.
Before saving me, Fatty thought I was an ordinary person, but even so, Fatty still chose to let me go, which is a bit strange.
"Anyway, Sister Leng is dead now, and none of us know exactly what happened. We can only go back to the guesthouse and check!"
The older woman shook her head as she led us toward the main road.
And so, my aunt, Lao Dao, and I rode at breakneck speed towards the county town.
We arrived at the guesthouse before noon.
To our surprise, the guesthouse was still open, and we were greeted by a fat man.
Could it be Fatty's husband or something? I made a bold guess.
"Does Sister Leng have a husband?" I leaned close to the old lady's ear and asked softly.
"No, I've never heard Sister Leng mention him before, and I've never seen this man before!"
The woman gave me a negative answer, saying she had never seen this man before.
This is a bit strange; the old lady had just died, and the guesthouse was immediately taken over.
Moreover, the teleportation channel between the village and the county town had been cut off, making it hard for me not to connect these two things with the man in front of me.
"Are you three staying overnight? We have some excellent braised chicken in a clay pot! Why don't you eat before you go?"
The fat man gave us a friendly smile when he saw us coming.
Old Dao was just about to go up and say hello when I interrupted him.
"Yes, uncle, we are tourists from out of town. We're here to rest before heading to the village to worship the gods!"
I pushed Old Dao aside, then gave him a friendly smile and started trying to get closer to the fat man.
Judging from my attire and the way I greeted him, the fat man's first impression of me must have been quite positive.
"Grandpa! You've really come to the right place! You should be heading to Haopo Village!"
Getting to Haopo Village from here takes quite a bit of effort, but if you come to my place, I guarantee the three of you can make it up!
The fat man patted his chest and assured me, especially after seeing my otherworldly appearance, he went straight up to me and grabbed my arm.
"Grandpa, you're in great health! You must be a Taoist! Just call me Little He, and the other two can call me Old He. I'm definitely older than them!"
The fat man took two cigarettes out of his pocket and handed them to me and Lao Dao.
They were very polite to me, but they treated Lao Dao and the older woman with a more respectful attitude, like they were treating a younger person.
Old Dao is doing alright; he's used to being a lackey anyway.
The older woman just shrugged and looked at the fat man like he was a clown.
"Hey Xiao He, your guesthouse must have been open for a long time, right? The decor looks pretty old!"
I started by saying something that seemed to come from my age, and to my surprise, the fat man almost cried after hearing it.
"Grandpa! I've been running this guesthouse for almost 20 years, but it was occupied by someone before, and I was just about to come back!"
