Looking at the silver ingots in Bai Lingmiao's hand, Li Huowang reached into his arms and took out a piece of silver and put it on top.
Before Li Huowang could speak, Bai Lingmiao said, "The gold bracelet has been melted. I saw it melted with my own eyes. It can't be redeemed."
Looking at Li Huowang standing there with his mouth open, Bai Lingmiao smiled triumphantly, feeling like she had won. She held the silver in her hand and stuffed it into his arms.
"Don't worry, the bracelet was originally given to me by my mother for my own use. It's not a family heirloom."
Seeing that Bai Lingmiao had said so much, Li Huowang no longer insisted. He carefully counted the silver and put it away. "When everything is settled, I'll buy you a bigger one."
"Well! I'll wait!" Bai Lingmiao nodded with a smile.
Just then the door suddenly opened, and Gou Wa walked in from outside. He was stunned to see the two men and women squatting in the corner, and then he was about to walk out. "I saw the wrong guest room. I'm really sorry. I'll leave now."
Bai Lingmiao blushed and rushed to the door, pushed him away and ran away.
Gou Wa walked in with a smile, "Brother Li, although Sister Bai is all white, when it comes to marrying a wife, appearance is not important, temperament is important, please don't despise her."
Li Huowang was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. "Stop talking nonsense, take a shower and go to bed quickly. It's not easy to get a bed to sleep on."
Drowsy, Li Huowang found himself in an old forest, with a dim light source in front of him. Confused, he used his sword to split the branches and rushed towards the fire in front.
When he got closer, Li Huowang found that it was Bai Lingmiao and the others who were roasting sweet potatoes around the campfire with his mother and Yang Na.
Looking at this warm scene, he was relieved and was about to walk over there.
However, suddenly, the world changed suddenly. Li Huowang found Danyangzi, who was hundreds of feet tall, with three heads and covered with feathers, standing there like a mountain.
"Hahaha, kid, you did a good job. You brought all the medicine."
The terrifying Danyangzi laughed and raised the stone pillar in his hand, which was longer than his height, and smashed it hard at the bonfire under his feet.
"Wait!!" Li Huowang, who was covered in cold sweat, sat up suddenly. After taking a few deep breaths, he realized that everything just now was just a dream.
"Brother Li, are you awake? I bought you some flatbreads. Eat them while they are hot." Gou Wa, who was watching the excitement, retracted his head from the window.
"What time is it now?" Li Huowang sat at the table, holding his aching head, and found that the flatbreads he was talking about were similar to wontons.
"It's just past Chenshi, it's okay to sleep late, anyway, we don't have to travel today."
He picked up the ceramic spoon and stuffed the wonton into his mouth. After a few bites, he finished it. "Who said there's nothing to do today? Let's go, let's go buy the things we need for the journey."
Then the dream just now flashed through his mind, and Li Huowang spoke again: "I'll take others to buy those, you go ask Lu Zhuangyuan when we can leave, the sooner the better, if he can't leave, then we'll leave early."
Li Huowang still had some silver left from buying a donkey cart, plus the extra silver given by Bai Lingmiao, so he could buy some more necessities.
At the very least, a quilt and a mat are needed, so you don't have to stay by the campfire at night, with your back hot and your chest cold.
You can also buy a pot, so that you can eat something hot on the road, instead of eating dry food every day.
There were too many scattered things, and one donkey cart was not enough. When he met Lv Zhuangyuan at the city gate, there was already another donkey cart.
"Hey, you are really capable. Along the way, you have accumulated more and more belongings. I guess if you walk for another half a year or a year, you will be rich." Lv Zhuangyuan, who was on the road, did not forget to flatter him.
"Master Lu, is Jianye far from Xijing City?" Li Huowang asked as he looked at the wide dirt road in front of him.
The road was wide and there were many people. There were not only him and Lv Zhuangyuan on the road, but also many people carrying bags on their backs. They all seemed to be going to Xijing City.
"Not far, we will arrive in another ten days." Lv Zhuangyuan didn't know what happy thing he thought of, and his face was full of smiles.
Li Huowang nodded and continued to ask: "About the Buddhist temple you mentioned, apart from their powerful ability to pray for children, how much else do you know?"
"Hey, a Buddhist temple is a Buddhist temple, what's the difference? In which Buddhist temple is there not a group of old monks leading a group of young monks to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha?"
Li Huowang sighed lightly. It seems that for such things, he has to go to the door to ask in person. Ordinary people like Lu Zhuangyuan live in confusion and have no idea about this matter.
"Little Taoist, there is a monk in front, the one peeing under the tree. You might as well ask him instead of asking me. He may be a monk in the Buddhist temple."
"Oh?" Li Huowang looked up and found that there was really a bald monk standing on the side of the road.
When he walked over, he saw the back of the man in the tattered monk's robe shaking and turning around.
However, when he saw the front of this guy, Li Huowang frowned immediately.
He was called a monk, but he looked more like an old beggar with a shaved head. He looked as shabby as he could be, and his monk robe was full of pudding and holes.
"Amitabha, what do you want to talk to me about?" The dirty old man grinned, revealing his yellow teeth without a single front tooth.
"Are you... a monk?"
"Yes, I am a monk!" The old monk said with a little hesitation, holding the string of Buddhist beads strung with fruit cores around his neck.
"Excuse me, Master, which temple are you from?" Li Huowang's voice was already a little hesitant.
"I don't have a temple, so why don't I go to the north to find one? I heard that there are many temples there, and they can provide food. I plan to go there to become a monk."
Hearing what the other party said, Li Huowang immediately had a guess in his heart, nodded at him indifferently, and turned back to his team.
But when Li Huowang didn't intend to pay attention to this old beggar pretending to be a monk, the other party stuck to him like a piece of cowhide plaster.
"Are you also looking for a Buddhist temple? Then let's go together. But aren't you a Taoist priest? Taoist priests shouldn't believe in Buddha, right?"
"Is this guy pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger with me?" Li Huowang, who began to be alert, patted the donkey's butt and walked quickly with others, just ignoring him.
But he ignored it, but someone else did. The simple fool in his heart didn't feel anything wrong.
"You didn't bring...you didn't bring...food, you will starve to death!"
"How can you starve to death? Look at the forest, there are all kinds of wild fruits, wild mushrooms and wild vegetables."
"I also...I also...eat wild fruits...! I also...I also..."
"Fool, don't talk to him!"
"Oh..."
When no one paid attention, the old beggar left boringly, and Li Huowang, who secretly held the Taoist bell, breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter whether he was really stupid or pretending to be stupid, in this weird place, you must be on guard against others.
After walking along this dirt road for an hour, the sun was hanging in the middle of the sky. Seeing that many people had already squatted down to eat dry food, Li Huowang asked others to do the same.
Although he began to feel a little anxious, it was safer with more people.
The newly bought white steamed buns were delivered to everyone, and they ate lunch with a few pickled vegetable jars.
Taking Bai Lingmiao's water gourd and drinking a sip, Li Huowang looked back and suddenly found that one person was missing. "Huh? Where's the fool?"
"I just went to the forest to pee, why haven't I come back yet? Could it be that I turned pooping halfway through peeing? Hey!! Fool!! Are you in there!!"
When Gou Wa shouted at the forest by the roadside, the fool's honest big head came out of the forest, and his mouth was bulging as if he was chewing something.
"What are you eating?" Li Huowang asked in confusion. "Wild...wild...wild white rice from the woods, no...no...no money!" The fool said and shrank back into the woods.
