Ancient Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 59 Lady Yao is angered

After returning from watching the commotion outside, Lin Xiu couldn't help but sigh, "We even considered looking for Xinggu Mozhuang to take a look, thankfully we didn't go."

Yao Rongrong said, "But it's really nothing. Sir, if we are careful and vigilant enough, even if there are countless living dead in Xinggu Mozhuang, they won't attack us."

As long as those people don't act intentionally or unintentionally, these aren't major problems. Magistrate Xu and his men went to check, and nothing happened, did they?"

Lin Xiu said, "That's true. But it's never good to make a wasted trip."

At this point, Han Cheng came over again and said to Lin Xiu and Yao Rongrong, "Gentlemen, Magistrate Xu has had a long and tiring journey, and it's getting late today, so I won't go to see him."

Tao Zhi—that's the little girl you met. I'll talk to Magistrate Xu about Tao Zhi tomorrow.

If Magistrate Xu wants you to know then, I will tell you.

As he spoke, he put down a large bag of dried vegetables and said, "Brother Lin, these are the dried vegetables for your manuscript. This stockpile should be enough to exchange for your manuscripts from yesterday and today."

Lin Xiu nodded and said, "Okay."

Today, Lijiaji has a relatively small population and its crops are well-preserved, so it is not actually lacking in food.

But in today's world, everyone is on edge and living under immense pressure, so food resources are increasingly valued, and these preservable foods are naturally very precious.

This large bag of dried vegetables is enough to exchange for the part of "Journey to the West" about the havoc in Heaven.

Lin Xiu accepted the dried vegetables, handed over the manuscript of "Journey to the West" that he had finished writing in the past two days, and planned to take a good rest.

He had been writing for two days straight. If he hadn't learned cultivation from Yao Rongrong and taken several Qi-boosting and spirit-nourishing pills to improve his physical condition, he probably wouldn't have been able to keep going for those two days.

Firstly, we need to balance work and rest and relax properly. Secondly, we need to break things down so that we can better control Han Cheng and the villagers and see if we can find a way to get a new horse.

After the havoc in Heaven ended, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong, was imprisoned under the Five Elements Mountain. What will become of him? Future listeners must be eager to know.

With this hook, the storybooks that follow will likely fetch even higher prices.

Of course, that alone wouldn't be enough. Perhaps I could also go out with Yao Rongrong and join her on a hunting trip.

If we still can't get a horse by then, then there's nothing we can do but give up.

After Han Cheng left, Lin Xiu should deal with Yao Rongrong and tell her the sequel to "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

He asked Yao Rongrong for another Qi-boosting and spirit-nourishing pill. Before taking the pill and going to sleep, he told Yao Rongrong a long story, including the plot of Juxianzhuang and the death of A'Zhu, which made Yao Rongrong very angry.

"What's so great about that scumbag Duan Zhengchun that he's worth saving? Sir, you want A'Zhu to die in his place! You're truly despicable!"

She huffed and puffed, protesting, but didn't ask Lin Xiu to change the plot.

This enchantress only saw herself as a pure listener. Although A'Zhu in the storybook died, she was deeply moved and still thought the story told by this damned storyteller was wonderful.

She didn't want to disrupt the storyteller's train of thought.

Lin Xiudao said: "The theme of 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils' is exactly like this. It is about the entanglement of cause and effect. No one is without grievances, all affection is a sin, and no one can get what they want."

The promise of cattle and sheep on the frontier is empty; this is A'Zhu's fate.

Yao Rongrong retorted angrily, "You scoundrel, don't try to spout this nonsense to me. I'm just a poor, uneducated woman; I don't understand any of this grand theory! Humph!"

After saying this in a huff, she closed her eyes and went to sleep.

Lin Xiu smiled but didn't take it to heart.

Yao Rongrong's reaction was exactly what he wanted to see.

He himself doesn't like watching tragedies, but he is quite excited about the reactions of others after they watch tragedies he knows about, and when the reactions are as he expects, he gets great satisfaction.

Isn't it normal for a person to have such a bad sense of humor?

Satisfied, he took the energy-boosting pill and went to sleep to digest it.

Yao Rongrong closed her eyes for a while, but couldn't fall asleep no matter what. She opened her eyes and glanced at Lin Xiu. Seeing that the bastard storyteller was already asleep, she was even more furious.

The storyteller's line, "Promises of cattle and sheep on the frontier are empty," kept echoing in her mind, keeping her awake all night.

The next morning, Yao Rongrong finally managed to fall asleep and naturally didn't wake up for a while.

Lin Xiu got up on his own, quietly opened the door and went out. He walked around the doorway to cultivate, digesting the effects of the Qi-Boosting and Body-Nourishing Pill for a while.

After taking so many Qi-boosting and health-preserving pills, his physical condition has greatly improved, and his strength is getting higher and higher.

If we're talking about those messy levels of cultivation in novels, he felt he had already passed the stages of training his flesh, tendons, skin, and bones, and it was time to move on to a higher level.

Now, his body is digesting the Qi-boosting and health-preserving pills much faster than before, when it took him a whole day to practice.

Now, just a short time in the morning is enough to completely digest the medicine's effects.

This also shows that his basic physical condition has been greatly improved and his potential has been greatly developed, enabling him to reach a much higher ceiling, just like those who have cultivated since childhood.

"call……"

After finishing his cultivation, he took a deep breath, planned to make some breakfast, and then wake Yao Rongrong up.

But before he could open the door, he heard footsteps in the distance. He turned around and saw the guard who had ridden away earlier.

Lin Xiu stopped what he was doing and waited for the person to come closer before greeting him with clasped hands.

The man also cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Young Master Lin, Magistrate Xu invites you."

Lin Xiu naturally wouldn't refuse and was about to go with that person.

The man then said, "I wonder if your younger sister is here? Magistrate Xu invites you and your sister to come along."

At this moment, Yao Rongrong had already woken up. Hearing the voices outside, she opened the door and went out with Lin Xiu, following the man to the yamen.

There were many people busy in the government office, setting up shelves in the courtyard and putting things on them.

Lin Xiu and Yao Rongrong's remaining weapons had been cleared into a corner, and what was on the shelf were some miscellaneous items.

Seeing Lin Xiu and Yao Rongrong's curiosity, the man explained, "These are all things we got from that bandit. The useful ones were stored away last night, but these don't need to be stored, so we're displaying them here according to the rules to see if the villagers need them."

It turned out to be the case.

Lin Xiu and Yao Rongrong suddenly realized.

The man led Lin Xiu and Yao Rongrong straight through the courtyard to the main hall of the yamen, where they saw Magistrate Xu sitting high above them, with a man sitting beside him. Who else could it be but Han Cheng?

Lin Xiu and Yao Rongrong immediately understood that it seemed they were about to talk about the little girl named Taozhi.
