Before leaving, Zhao Hongwei insisted on leaving one of Zhao Youliang's two cell phones, whether out of pity or because he genuinely had two cell phones.
Unable to refuse such a kind offer, Zhao Youliang could only "reluctantly" accept.
Following the principle of reciprocity, he gave them a large handful of roasted meat in return, so that Zhao Hongwei could eat it slowly on the way.
After seeing Zhao Hongwei off, Zhao Youliang pondered how to rescue Huang Jiaxian.
Since there was no one else around, he could only run back to discuss it with Xiong Ba and Chang Jie.
Chang Jie was still the same as always. Before Zhao Youliang could speak, he started rambling, "My parents are both dragons, but I am a maggot. There's no way to reason with this."
Zhao Youliang felt a headache coming on and quickly patted the other man's fat head to comfort him.
He then recounted the events to Xiong Ba.
Compared to Chang Jie, this century-old bear immortal is obviously more reliable... well, let's just say he's reliable.
After hearing this, he shouted without hesitation, "We must go and save them!"
"Enough said, let's go to Mad Dog's Hollow to rescue Yin right now!"
At the critical moment, fortunately, the grasshopper spirit among the evil immortals spoke up to stop them.
"Boss Xiong, don't panic! The guys in Mad Dog's Lair are not easy to deal with!"
"Besides...besides, it's so far away, there's no way he could possibly go."
At this point, the grasshopper spirit secretly pointed to the front hall of the paper-making shop.
"What should we do then? We can't just abandon Brother Huang Yu, can we?"
Xiong Ba was impatient and always shouted, "If it really doesn't work, I'll go myself. I'll fight that madman to the death!"
Having heard the term "mad ghost" several times, Zhao Youliang couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother Xiong, what exactly is this 'mad ghost' you're talking about?"
"Extremely strange? Even more powerful than the young master of the Huang family?!"
Xiong Ba was a brute with limited language skills, only slightly better than Chang Jie.
Therefore, this question can only be answered by the grasshopper spirit.
"How strange! How can it not be strange!"
"To put it simply, anyone like us who has gained sentience wouldn't dare to approach Mad Dog's Hollow."
"That madman is truly insane! He beats up anyone he sees and is completely unreasonable!"
"It's because the young man from the Huang family has a powerful background that the Mad Ghost only arrested him and didn't dare to harm him."
Xiong Ba nodded repeatedly, "I won't argue with you about what you're saying, grasshopper."
"Although the madman is strange, he is no match for the Huang family."
"Even Old Master Huang Zuo doesn't need to lift a finger; any random second-generation rich kid could easily deal with his subservience!"
At this point, Xiong Ba's large head suddenly flashed with a rare flash of inspiration.
"Quantum, so the Huang family is deliberately testing you?"
"If you can rescue Xiaoyu on your own, then his family will acknowledge you as a disciple of the Huang family."
"If they can't be rescued, the Huang family will take action themselves."
"But your relationship with Xiaoyu has come to an end... Let's make this clear beforehand, if he leaves, I'll leave too."
"Don't blame me for not being sentimental then!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Youliang smiled wryly and nodded repeatedly to indicate that he understood.
However, he was also relieved: at least Brother Huang was not in danger, and he didn't need to rush to Mad Dog's Pass.
As for the token still in Huang Yu's hands, Zhao Youliang didn't care at all.
To reiterate: Although he has many flaws, he is a man of his word and a man of deep loyalty and righteousness.
What's the point of having a treasure when the person is gone?
If the young master Huang is taken back by the family, we'll give him the token as a keepsake!
With this mindset, Zhao Youliang returned to the barbecue stall to help Yingchun's sister-in-law.
With Fatty Song dead, there's no barbecue chef available here, so Zhao Youliang has to fill in temporarily.
Although he has never received any formal training, he has been self-reliant since childhood and can do everything... except give birth.
Perhaps due to the recent spate of strange occurrences, business at the barbecue stall remains slow tonight.
After the few customers left, there was no one left before 11 p.m.
Sister-in-law Yingchun felt sorry for Zhao Youliang, who was "just recovering from a serious illness," so she took the opportunity to close up shop and let him go home to rest early.
However, Zhao Youliang did not rush home. Instead, he chose to squat by the roadside and wait for the ghostly carriage.
This wasn't because he was tired of living and wanted to die; he just wanted to see Granny Wenmi and Shopkeeper Sun one last time, to see these two elderly people who cared for and loved him.
Even if you can't get on the bus or see them, it's still good to see them off from a distance...
As the saying goes, "Heaven helps those who help themselves."
Around 11 p.m., Zhao Youliang finally saw the pure white bus slowly approaching.
Zhao Youliang hurriedly waved his hands at the Yinling Cart, just like an ordinary person waiting for a bus.
However, the ghost vehicle is not a public bus, and it won't stop just because someone waves it.
Completely ignoring Zhao Youliang's eagerness, they drove right past him.
Zhao Youliang was immediately alarmed and was about to run after him when he was suddenly grabbed by a large hand.
"Blessings are boundless."
"Young man, are you out of your mind? That vehicle isn't clean; it's not a bus!"
Being pulled in the middle of the night startled Zhao Youliang.
Looking back, I realized that the person who had grabbed me was an unfamiliar old Taoist priest.
Before Zhao Youliang could speak, the old Taoist priest was already filled with shock.
"You...you're not alive? You've run out of life!!"
Zhao Youliang, who was already furious that the other party had delayed his pursuit of the "bus," was enraged upon hearing this.
"How can you talk like that in the middle of the night? Everyone's alive and well."
"Have you ever seen a dead person running around in the street?!"
The old man's answer was so straightforward that Zhao Youliang was speechless.
With a serious expression, he nodded solemnly and replied, "Yes, I have. I've seen quite a few!"
Zhao Youliang: "......"
"Fine, you win!"
Seeing that he couldn't catch up with the Yin Spirit Cart, Zhao Youliang was too lazy to argue with the old Taoist priest and decided to go home and sleep.
But the old Taoist priest wouldn't let go, holding onto Zhao Youliang's arm tightly.
“Young brother, I am a legitimate disciple of Maoshan, not a fraudster. Please forgive my rudeness earlier.”
“Your lifespan has truly run out; you should have died long ago.”
"But why didn't the ghost messengers arrest you?"
Zhao Youliang became even angrier when he saw that the old Taoist priest was relentless.
If it weren't for his upright demeanor, which made him seem like a bad guy, Zhao Youliang would have already punched him.
"Is this never going to end? Let go! Let go of me!"
Using all his strength to break free, Zhao Youliang turned and walked towards the paper-making shop.
The old Taoist priest originally wanted to chase after them, but he stopped immediately when he saw the shop.
"May you be blessed! How...how could there be such a strange place!"
While he was hesitating, Zhao Youliang had already gone into the shop and closed the door.
Helpless, the old Taoist priest could only say loudly, "Young brother, I will come to find you tomorrow!"
After the Taoist finished speaking, the response he received was not from Zhao Youliang, but from a woman's chilling laughter.
The laughter was faint and ethereal, as if it came from the paper-making shop, or perhaps from behind the old Taoist priest.
Although it was a sudden attack, the old Taoist was clearly skilled: with a cold laugh, he swiftly took out a yellow talisman and held it between his index and middle fingers.
"Heh heh, what kind of demon are you lurking around like this? Come out and show yourself to me, this Daoist!"
