The bonfire flickered, and the conversation between the man and the dragon ended the moment Ellie called for dinner.
Dinner consisted of rice and grilled meat, and everyone ate with gusto. Xiao Jin and Vitruvius had the biggest appetites.
The two demons ate so much that their bellies were round and they collapsed and rolled around on the grass.
Because time was tight, after a short rest, everyone started on their journey.
Those who are responsible for driving the car during the day sleep at night, and those who rest in the car during the day are responsible for driving the car at night.
Long Xi was in a car with a few demons, while Chi Sui was in a car with three girls.
Signaling Anna and Ellie to go to bed, Chi Sui started driving.
The next morning, Chi Sui returned to the carriage and slept for about four hours. Then he jumped off the carriage and went away for no one knew where he was going.
Ellie was a little worried, but Chi Sui asked them to continue driving and she would catch up, so it was not good to disobey the order.
Xiao Jin stuck his head out of the second car and asked, "Where are you going, Baroness?"
Prime Minister Turtle scratched his head: "I don't know."
At this moment, Chi Sui was running fast in the forest next to the carriage.
444: "So you want to use the power of the Light Force to practice... escape skills?"
Chi Sui nodded: "Sister, I want to learn how to be a sprinter."
444: "Then you have to run for two hours, otherwise your light power will be exhausted and you won't be able to keep up with the carriage."
Chi Sui didn't say anything.
It was not until the two carriages stopped in the suburbs that evening that Chi Sui came out from behind the bushes.
When Ellie saw Chi Sui was wet all over, she thought he had fallen into the water.
But when I got closer, I found that Chi Sui was covered in sweat, with beads of sweat dripping down his skirt and pants onto the grass, and his face was very pale.
"Lady? What's wrong with you?!"
Ai Li's voice rose, and Chi Sui quickly covered her mouth: "Dear Ai Li, I'm fine, I just went to exercise."
After letting go of Ellie, Chi Sui slowly walked towards the river nearby.
Ellie quickly followed: "Where are you going now?"
"I'm going to take a shower. I feel like I'm going to stink."
Ellie held her back and said, "I'll go boil some water for you. You're all sweaty and can't take a cold shower."
Chi Sui waved his hand: "No, no need, I'll just go rinse in the river."
"Go cook."
Ellie sighed and nodded.
Chi Sui took a step forward and asked again, "Where's Long Xi?"
"As you instructed, he hasn't been woken up since this afternoon."
"Okay, call him when the meal is ready."
Ai Li watched Chi Sui walk away with difficulty, a trace of worry in her eyes.
When Anna saw Ellie come back, she quickly asked, "Where's the Baroness?"
The other three card players also pricked up their ears.
"The Lady has gone to take a shower and will be back soon."
Ellie didn't know what to say.
Anna was stunned: "Didn't she say where she went during the day?"
Ellie frowned: "He said he was going to exercise."
When Chi Sui came back after taking a shower and changing his clothes, it was completely dark.
Ellie had already prepared the meal, but she didn't let the three card-playing friends clean up and eat until Chi Sui came back.
Prime Minister Turtle paused as he passed by Chi Sui.
Chi Sui met the four-year-old Turtle Prime Minister's green bean eyes and was a little confused: "What's wrong?"
Prime Minister Turtle thought about it and decided to give a reminder: "Overdrawing the power of light can cause considerable damage to the body."
"I don't recommend you do this for the sake of temporary progress."
Chi Sui pursed her lips for a long time, then scratched her head and smiled innocently: "I've drunk with your Highness... woo!"
Prime Minister Turtle jumped three feet high, and the whole turtle was hanging on Chi Sui's neck. One hand covered Chi Sui's mouth, and the other hand hugged Chi Sui's neck. Chi Sui was pressed by the weight of the turtle cub and almost fell to the ground.
"Shh!"
Prime Minister Turtle glared at him with his green eyes: "I know you drank it! But you can't say it!"
Chi Sui held onto the carriage and managed to stand steady. She pulled Prime Minister Turtle down and rolled her eyes unhappily. "What I meant to say is that since then, my body has improved far beyond what ordinary people can do. The consumption of the power of light won't cause much damage to my body."
"It's just a little uncomfortable at best."
Chi Sui threw Prime Minister Turtle away, opened the car door, and leaned inside to look at Long Xi, who was sleeping soundly with a carrot pillow, and shouted, "Long Long! Get up!"
When Long Xi opened his eyes sleepily, before his eyes could focus, he was pulled up by Chi Sui.
Still eating, resting for two hours, feeding the horses, and then getting on the road.
Chi Sui's daily routine was slightly changed. Since Ellie couldn't bear to see Chi Sui working so hard, she and Anna took the early and late shifts respectively, so that Chi Sui could rest peacefully at night.
So Chi Sui had the whole day to practice his sprint.
They traveled day and night, and finally entered the western region in the evening when their horses' legs cramped.
It is no exaggeration to say that there is almost no vegetation on the ground, only some low grass that looks dry.
The temperature difference between day and night here is large. The temperature during the day can reach over 30 degrees, while at night it may be around 10 degrees.
Since the four unicorns were extremely tired, Chi Sui suggested that they rest here for one night.
She went to the Jixi Town, found the mayor, and explained that her team would stay there for one night.
Mayor Jixi was surprised that Chi Sui would come, so he quickly took everyone back to his own home.
The Far West region is vast and sparsely populated, so the houses are spacious and there are quite a few vacant rooms.
In the evening, the wife and daughter of the mayor of Jixi Town prepared dinner, and Long Xi, Prime Minister Turtle, and Xiao Jin Vitru ate in a separate room.
Chi Sui took Anna, Ellie and the mayor to eat together.
During the conversation, we learned that the mayor has five children, four of whom live in the sand field and take shifts day and night to mine and transport sand. Because of a back injury, the mayor only goes to the sand field to work during the day, while his daughter and wife feed the livestock at home.
The temperature in Jixi Town is low at night. The houses are built with a mixture of stones and yellow mud. The plants in the wild look dry and yellow. When the wind blows, it inevitably adds a sense of desolation.
Chi Sui asked the mayor about his family's annual net income.
"To be honest, my lady, my family earns about 5 gold coins a year."
Chi Sui frowned.
Five gold coins are equivalent to the purchasing power of RMB 50,000 per year. Although it seems not too much or too little, you have to know that there are five males in the mayor's family. And according to the mayor's youngest daughter, apart from the mayor, there are only middle-aged laborers, and her five brothers are all young and strong.
A family of seven only earns five gold coins (50,000 RMB) a year, which is not much.
Chi Sui frowned at this. The mayor's family only earned five gold coins, so what about the other villagers? Would they earn even less?
Thinking of this, Chi Sui couldn't swallow the bacon in his mouth.
After finally finishing his meal, Chi Sui stood up and said, "Mayor, please take me to the sand mining site."
The mayor was a little stunned. He quickly stood up and asked his wife to drive the donkey over, saying that the sand mining site was far from the town and it would be too tiring to walk there.
Chi Sui looked at the skinny donkey and felt reluctant to ride it, so she asked Ellie to bring two unicorns that pulled their carriage, one for her and one for the mayor.
The mayor couldn't let go of the unicorn and riding it was like riding his ancestor.
