It was getting late, and the rain was getting heavier. The tourists were startled by the carrions in the courtyard of Little Dragon Farmstead. The crowd was agitated momentarily but soon quieted down.
They had to head to the scenic spots according to the itinerary information. No matter how scared they were, they had to be at Little Dragon Farmstead before 6 p.m.
Chrysanthemum Garden.
Anyway, during the first night of the tour, it was usually a safe night. No matter how many corpses there were in the courtyard, its purpose was just to frighten them.
It was apparent if the tourists were glancing toward III-9 on purpose or inadvertently as if they were seeking some sense of security. Unconsciously, the image of III-9, who had brought Shi Tao and Miao Fangfei back, had evolved slightly. De2wmx
In any case, no one doubted his strength.
But when they saw III-9's complexion, everyone collectively felt their hearts thumped.
III-9's face was turning blue!
Within mere moments, the veteran tourists had imagined countless scenarios.
nrj5wK
Was this how terrifying an Intoxicating Xiangxi series tour was? They had even experienced numerous dangers on the first night they stayed here! The dangers of this tour had even caused madman III-9 to be so afraid!
And they were all staying here all night——how many people would survive, by then?
Little Dragon Farmstead was dangerous!
Wei Xun's complexion turned blue—— sESGD
Because he was feeling very cold.
As soon as the doors to Little Dragon Farmstead opened, it was as if Wei Xun had arrived at the south pole in an instant. There was also a powerful air conditioner blowing at him, causing Wei Xun's scalp to turn numb. He almost shuddered.
Having the title Cold-blooded was a weakness that might cost him his life.
"Put me down." aKXeBQ
Wei Xun's utterances were concise and comprehensive. His voice sounded slightly nasal. Fortunately, no one found out about it.
Since he caught a cold, he had to dry his clothes quickly. He sincerely hoped that it would be warmer in Little Dragon Farmstead.
Otherwise, if he had a cold and a fever, no matter how much time the countdown to death had, it would not be enough for him to squander.
After Shi Tao put III-9 down, Shi Tao felt his back was lacking the presence of III-9. Looking at the rain-soaked clothes clinging to III-9's body, Shi Tao had observed he seemed a little too thin. ToYzmk
When III-9's figure disappeared amid the bodies and progressively receded, Shi Tao felt an unexplainable sensation of dread and unconsciously wanted to catch up to him. But as soon as he took a stride, all his hair sprang up, and the blood in his body froze!
The corpses in the courtyard were staring at him!
Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.
Dozens of pairs of silent, sunken dark eyes lock onto Shi Tao. The great malice and coldness assaulted Shi Tao, rendering him immobile.
Fortunately, someone noticed that something was wrong with him. PinN2T
Shi Tao was dragged backward several steps by the person behind him, and the cold feeling of being gazed at finally disappeared.
"Younger Brother Shi, be careful. We can't go in without a room card!"
"Ah, thank you, thank you."
Shi Tao was still a little listless. He reluctantly laughed and hesitantly thanked the person who dragged him out: "Thank you, Wang..."
"Sigh, a fatty like me would probably be older than you. If you don't mind, please call me Big Brother Wang."
Wang Pengpai took no notice of Shi Tao's behavior and patted his fat stomach. With a laugh, he said: "Is Younger Brother Shi injured? If you are injured, we have to treat it quickly. Also, you can't be distracted in this damned place!"
"Thank you, Big Brother Wang, for your concern."
Shi Tao also knew that he was not in the right state. The look in his eyes reflected that he had gotten more grateful to the fat man. He explained, "I'm not hurt." jdCifS
Although the previous battle was bloody and fierce, the monsters were attacking III-9. Shi Tao was not hurt. Just now, he was just reliving the feeling of running like a madman.
Ever since his arm was amputated, he had always been a disabled person in the eyes of others.
"Let me help you. After all, it's not convenient for you..."
"Everything is going to be fine, Ah Tao. Your brother can support you." iaW 3s
Everyone was kind, but they made it seem like because his arm was amputated, he was useless. In reality, he also had to retire from his sports team in his prime and couldn't find any other job.
Because of his disability, he suffered more throughout tours. During tours, he mostly panicked and fled away from threats. He barely made it by depending on his stamina and resilience.
But that battle moments ago was different.
The look in Shi Tao's eyes was filled with complicated feelings. BSCdxb
It wasn't counted as him fleeing; it was that he was confronting the enemy. He could still carry III-9 on his back, after all. Although his role in the combat was minor, he did not drag III-9 down. This, however, made Shi Tao feel...
It was not a big deal to had an amputated arm. He was still useful.

He could be more useful.
III-9 gave him the chance. hoZaf1
"Guide III seems to have become different."
Shi Tao heard Wang Pengpai murmur. In response, Shi Tao subconsciously nodded.
Yes, no matter what other people thought of III-9, Shi Tao had renewed his outlook and gotten to know III-9 from the start again.
Crazy, powerful, mysterious, and elusive. lircwG
Only such people could survive in the Travel Services.
Shi Tao also wanted to be like III-9.
"Little Dragon Farmstead was built in the Qing Dynasty, but no one knew the specific time it was built."
Wei Xun, an employee of the Travel Services, couldn't take a break yet. After he had gotten the room cards, he read his tour guide rules expressionlessly and led the tourists all the way through the courtyard full of corpses and into the main room. n 8Kdh
"When foreign enemies invaded in the late Qing Dynasty, General Luo Rongguang led his troops to defend Taku Forts. 'As long as I am here, Taku Forts is here. I conduct a blood sacrificial ceremony to pray to the skies.' In the face of 20000 enemy troops, none of the garrison officers and soldiers retreated, and finally, all the heroic martyrs died."
"Old Chief Ma, the chief representing the five caves and six stockaded villages in Western Hunan, was brave and loyal. He led his disciples out of Hunan and sent the martyrs back to their homes. When they passed by Wuluo mountain, they once settled in Little Dragon Farmstead."
The main chamber was modest. It held around ten thin wooden coffins. The odor of the body and the dampness permeated the entire room. The coffin had been around for a long time. A coating of dirty mildew had formed on it, nearly gluing onto the wooden tablets in front of it. As a result, determining who was in the casket was difficult.
After the tourists had gotten used to seeing dozens of corpses in the patio of the outer courtyard and dozens of dilapidated coffins in the main room, they were able to keep calm at the strange sighting. NwmrzX
Miao Fangfei remembered every word III-9 had spoken to her. She was thinking about his words and the rotting corpses in the courtyard at the same time. Someone left the bodies on the patio, exposing them to the wind, the sun, the wind, the frost, the snow, and the rain. Unlike corpses in a morgue, it was more like...
The corpses were being tortured.
Miao Fangfei's heart sank, and she realized how treacherous the first scenic spot was. She truly didn't know this time how many people would survive in the Intoxicating Xiangxi series tours.
After they walked through the main room, they reached the place they were going to stay. The inn-like building had three floors in total. The narrow wooden staircase was high and steep and did not have handrails. It creaked when one stepped on it, so they would always worry when the wooden steps were going to snap when they stepped on it. yc9O8B
However, the temperature here had gone up a lot, allowing everyone to feel much better here than in the main room and courtyard in front. At least it was not cold here, and it could also keep out the wind and rain.
"Gather in the hall on the first floor at five tomorrow morning."
Chrysanthemum Garden.
When the eight tourists, split into three families of two and two families of one, were assigned to the second and third floors of the inn, Wei Xun gave a once over at the depressed faces of the tourists and couldn't help wondering.
With such good treatment, why were they still not satisfied? PerFyf
Isn't it just that the room is a little damp, there are a lot of insects, and the sheets are a little moldy?
It was already very much considered of Travel Service to provide the tourists with such a good place to stay in the wilderness. Could it be that they wanted to stay in a presidential suite?
Heh——Needless to say, there was a "presidential suite" in this inn. Wei Xun had seen it, and he was very satisfied.
But that's where he would live. It had nothing to do with the tourists. 1yPdge

The things that he drew out of Creepy's gift bag look a little useless——They were already involved in a voyage that forced them all into a grave crisis involving life and death. Who had the mindset to enjoy and relax on a tour? Why didn't Creepy gave him something more practical?
Yet, Wei Xun loved to enjoy life! He liked to live well, eat well, and play well-this was Wei Xun's travel creed. Besides, with his physical condition, if he didn't have a good rest or have some good food and went to bed in his wet clothes, all the tourists would have to kneel and beg him tomorrow to—— nPhugq
Never ever die.
"Tonight, please, please..."
Hm?
Wei Xun, who was hurriedly distributing the room cards so he could return to his room quicker, suddenly found that Miao Fangfei had not left after receiving the room card. She lowered her head, and her voice was as small as a gnat. SQN1 K
"Please...come, to my room..."
After that, Miao Fangfei briskly bowed to Wei Xun. Then, she fled as if there were fierce ghosts chasing after her.
Shi Tao, who was in the same room with her, laughed awkwardly towards III-9. His voice was so small that Wei Xun could hardly hear it, "Me, me too, I'll be waiting for you."
After that, he ran away, leaving only Wei Xun, face full of question marks. SyOpcv
Why did he need to go to their rooms?
To look at their moldy sheets?
Chrysanthemum Garden.
Ha!
Wei Xun was amused by his mean humor and knew that Miao Fangfei and Shi Tao probably had some serious matters to discuss with him. Just as he thought that it wouldn't matter to head to their rooms, to have a look after having a good hot bath, Wei Xun felt as if his palm had been scratched. 1e82Gy
In an instant, goosebumps surfaced on his skin, and he almost jumped up. With a nasty complexion, his eyes swept around. Wei Xun found that it was Lin Xi who was causing trouble.
"I'm...also ready."
Everyone walked on the same mountainous path, soaked in the same rain. However, Lin Xi appeared much cleaner than the others. He was shy and bowed his head like a pure-white rabbit. No one would be able to tell this was the same person who was behaving like a fierce mad dog just a few minutes ago.
Lin Xi lowered his head and revealed his best-looking body part, the back of his neck. Under the glare of III-9, his body trembled slightly, and the blush burned to his ears from his cheek. 3uYcFE
At last, he whispered, "I'll be waiting for you", and he ran away like a frightened fawn. Halfway through, he turned to look at Wei Xun, and as if he was leaving a hint, he eyed Wei Xun's feet. When he smiled, he looked very good-looking.
When Wei Xun heard the sound of Lin Xi's "I'll be waiting for you", he felt totally different from Shi Tao's "I'll be waiting for you". Lin Xi had sounded very seductive. The tourists who were both homosexual and heterosexual present were all shocked.
What was he ready for?
Wei Xun gave a despising glance at his own feet, which were soaked in water and covered with mud. 6erLlg
Unsurprisingly, he had to wear these shoes for a whole five days.
Wei Xun thought that this wasn't good.
Just now, Lin Xi was also looking at his feet. He was speaking in riddles and acting coyly but refused to speak his mind. What was he trying to imply?
Did he mean—— z1aK4j
Wei Xun suddenly realized what he meant! He understood Lin Xi's intentions!
Lin Xi must have brought III-9 a change of clothes!
The more Wei Xun thought about it, the more reasonable he felt his deduction was. In this six days five nights tour, it couldn't be that he didn't even have a change of clothes. The tourists were all carrying big bags, but III-9 had nothing. Yet, the tourists didn't display any look of confusion.
With III-9's status, these items were not of importance. Wouldn't it be better for him to threaten people to give him what they were carrying in their bags? There was completely not a need for him to carry such items. In any case, people who wanted to please him would take the initiative to give it to him——For example, Lin Xi. 0Fv3CI
As for others...
Now, Wei Xun was as weak as a ghost. He had no time to think about the other aspects. He had been seriously ill, bedridden for several years. This had made him develop a Buddha-like mindset.

He didn't have that kind of worldly desire.
Wei Xun hoped that the shoes Lin Xi provided him would be new, the size of the shoes suitable, and it's better if III-9 hadn't worn them previously. c524TJ
Wei Xun made a wish from the bottom of his heart, and his action of issuing the room cards became more perfunctory. After issuing the room cards, he left in a hurry without looking back. The tourists who remained in the hall on the first floor understood his intentions, and they all looked at each other with the look in their eyes of 'we are all men, we understand'.
"Guide III really has the spirit of a dragon and the energy of a tiger."
Lin Xi won.
Shi Tao and Miao Fangfei were still too young to understand a man's heart. rOIf89
Some people couldn't resist feeling envious and jealous when they thought that in this extremely dangerous and exhausting tour, III-9 still possessed this kind of great energy to do it.
"Guide III is such a slag."
The author has something to say:
The tourists all admired Wei Xun: Guide III has the spirit of a dragon and the energy of a tiger! N4bnKv
Wei Xun: ?
The tourists shook their heads: Guide III is such a slag!
Wei Xun: ??
Wei Xun: Who is Guide III? Please introduce him to me, thank you. rhuyQM
