"Master, I really didn't lie, I just had nowhere to sleep so I slept in..."
The master cut off Ye Feng's words directly.
He didn't want to listen now, not a single word!
"Enough, I don't want to hear it."
The coachman was watching the whole time.
"So you know each other?"
At this moment, he asked in a particularly different manner.
Even the look on his face was somewhat relieved.
Why? Because if the two didn't know each other, and this person was a thief, today's losses inside the carriage would have to be completely borne by him alone.
Because these items were specifically requested by the master last night.
Now it seemed unnecessary, since they were their own people after all.
"Hmph! Stop at the town near Hunting Soul Forest up ahead, we need to purchase supplies!"
The master spoke with an icy tone.
He was really irritated now.
With Xiaosan being so outstanding, why did he have such a townsman?
If it weren't for Tang San's sake, he really wanted to just throw this kid here to fend for himself.
"Alrighty!"
The coachman was very excited upon hearing this.
He had just been relieved that he probably wouldn't have to compensate for the supplies, and now the other party had personally confirmed it.
Naturally, this made him extremely happy.
Swinging back and forth.
The carriage started moving again.
However, unlike before, Ye Feng's place was no longer in the rear cargo box but with the master and Tang San in the passenger seats.
Compared to the comfort he had earlier, now he felt as if someone was choking him, making it hard to breathe.
Why? As everyone knows, the master might be a failure in cultivation, but when it comes to scolding someone, he could simply be described as a shrew. He had scolded Feng for a full two hours on the way.
What could he do? He could only behave submissively.
Whatever the other party said was law.
Even the part about being expelled upon returning to school, he couldn't do anything about it, as he had no control over the matter.
Keep talking, keep scolding, in one ear and out the other.
As for Tang San, he was very calm.
It was as if Ye Feng and the master weren't even in the same carriage compartment, quietly observing the scenery outside.
Upon reaching the town, under the master's lead, Tang San and Ye Feng were taken together to buy supplies.
Naturally, in the end, it was Ye Feng who carried all the supplies.
Yes, all of them!!
Both the master and Tang San were empty-handed.
It was as if they were just out for a casual stroll.
Ye Feng was sweating profusely from exhaustion, but he clenched his teeth and persevered.
Perhaps among all the transmigrators, he was the most miserable.
To have fallen to such a state!
He hoped that this trip to the Hunting Soul Forest would yield some unexpected gains, and it would be even better if he could awaken the System.
Back on the carriage.
Tang San and the master were already comfortably seated, and only Ye Feng arrived about ten minutes later.
Because he was carrying too many things and still had to load them onto the carriage.
"Why are you so slow?!"
As Ye Feng boarded, the master asked coldly.
"Master, those goods were over thirty pounds."
Ye Feng felt like his body was about to collapse!
A six or seven-year-old child, carrying thirty pounds of supplies for several kilometers – was this something a human should do??
He wasn't even an adult.
"Heh, you'll replenish what you ate last night! Plus, when we get back to the school, I won't let you off so easily. First hand over the money you earned as a work-study student, then I'll expel you!"
The master wasn't joking; he was dead serious!
Only after walking for three or four hours did he find the other party, otherwise, if it was less than two hours, he would have directly kicked him off the carriage to walk back on his own!
He meant what he said!
"Ah, this..."
Ye Feng shrugged his shoulders awkwardly.
Anyway, with no rights like a fish on a chopping board, he would take whatever comes, one step at a time.
"Okay, we are now heading to Hunting Soul Forest, and when the time comes, you are still carrying all these supplies!"
The master looked at Ye Feng.
"Teacher, didn't you say to put them in Twenty-Four Moonlight Bridges?"
On the other side, Tang San asked somewhat puzzled.
And Ye Feng was a bit dumbfounded.
All those white radishes and some foodstuff, a total of thirty catties of supplies, was he supposed to carry them all???
He felt like a hundred thousand grass-mud horses were galloping over Yu Xiaogang's head!
"No need; since he's willing to come with us, there's no need to put it in Twenty-Four Moonlight Bridges. Just load it on his back!"
The master spoke indifferently, his face as stiff as a zombie's!
"Um…"
At this moment, Tang San didn't feel it was appropriate to say anything more, so he just let it be.
After all, it was his teacher who was calling the shots.
Whatever he said went.
Besides, Ye Feng brought it on himself, if he hadn't run into the carriage and stolen those things, his teacher probably wouldn't have been so angry.
Soon the vehicle bounced along, and two hours later they arrived at Hunting Soul Forest.
The master and Tang San strolled leisurely, while Ye Feng was like a camel, burdened with goods on his shoulders.
He walked with a hunched back.
Tang San occasionally looked back at Ye Feng, the frail frame struggling with every step it took.
He actually felt the guy was somewhat pitiable.
As for the master, he hadn't glanced at Ye Feng once during the whole trip.
In his eyes, Ye Feng simply wasn't worth his sympathy.
"Hurry up and keep up. Are you so slow because you haven't eaten?"
Suddenly, the master shouted at Ye Feng, who was behind him!
He was really yelling at him!
Without a trace of face-saving.
"Teacher, let's rest for a while,"
They had been walking another thirty minutes.
Ye Feng behind them was slowing down even more.
Although the kid from the same village had nothing to do with him, after carrying so many things for three hours, it really seemed too much for him.
Truth be told, even Tang San was feeling somewhat tired.
"Heh, I know you feel sorry for him, but pity for someone often comes with loathsome reasons; don't mind him, let him carry the load!"
The master ignored him.
Continuing to walk ahead.
Ye Feng behind bit his teeth and quickened his pace.
At the same time, in his heart, he endlessly cursed Yu Someone's ancestors a hundred and eighty times.
If only the System could awaken now, how great that would be!
"Hey, System! Someone's about to die here. Where are you!!"
Ye Feng was gasping for air.
He called out with a nearly depleted voice.
However, no one responded.
That's right, dead silence.
"Bang!!"
Ye Feng really was exhausted.
He couldn't carry anymore.
He had been walking for three hours, with approximately thirty catties of stuff on his back.
He might be mature in mind and have lived through two lifetimes,
but right now he was a six or seven-year-old child.
How could such a young body endure carrying so much and traveling such a distance?
If not for the System, he wouldn't have possibly clenched his teeth and persisted until now!
Right now, he truly, truly wanted to curse Yu Xiaogang out, step on his head and shout "Qiao Li Ma"!
And then, through hysterical screaming, "Times change, what used to be the east bank of the river is now the west bank, you've looked down on me and bullied me so much, today I'll make you unable to reach me and even torment you to death!!"
