NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 727 Feng Ashui
Jiang You hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you know how to get to Xuesong Town?"
Hearing this, the old man's only remaining eye suddenly widened, "You want to go to Cedar Town? To find that monk?"
Jiang You nodded, "Of course I will go."
"Xuesong Town is more than 600 kilometers away from here. It was covered over a month ago. It is impossible for anyone there to be alive. The monk must be dead too.
You are entering the fog area now, which will do nothing but send you to your death?"
The old man was halfway through his words when he suddenly thought of something. "It's not that there is no way at all. I heard that there is a kind of protective clothing and respirator in City No. 9 that can block the poisonous fog..."
Jiang You interrupted his chatter and said, "Just tell me, do you know the exact location of Xuesong Town, or does anyone else know it?"
"There really is one."
"Who?"
The one-eyed old man turned his eyes to a pile of minced meat on the ground not far away, "That cripple came from Cedar Town, but you have already minced him into pieces."
Jiang You, "Don't mention the dead. Okay, it seems you don't know either."
Jiang You stood up and turned to leave.
The one-eyed old man stared blankly at the man's thin back, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
Finally, when Jiang You was about to disappear from sight, he made up his mind and shouted, "I know there is another person!"
he said loudly.
Jiang You paused, and the old man stumbled after him.
"I know someone who can take you to Cedar Town. I can take you to him, but I have a condition!"
Jiang You, "Supplies?"
"No!"
The one-eyed old man shook his head, "I want you to take someone away from Luoshi City and protect him!"
Jiang You sneered, "Just to lead the way, and you want me to be a bodyguard?"
She walked away without any reluctance.
There's not even any intention of bargaining.
Seeing her long legs moving alternately and leaving him behind in just three or two steps, the one-eyed old man became anxious and hurriedly trotted to catch up.
"Well, I'll step back and you can take him to a safe place and leave him there!"
Jiang You asked him, "Where do you think is safe?
Even the Hope Base and City No. 9 could be covered by poisonous fog at any time. Is there any safe place in this world? "
The one-eyed old man was silent for a moment, then spoke again with a sad look, "But... living one more day is always better than one more day..."
He said to Jiang You, "There weren't many people coming from Xuesong Town to begin with. Some died, some left, and there are only a few left.
After the apocalypse, mountain torrents and mudslides occurred frequently, and the routes on the map were no longer accurate.
If you want to find Cedar Town, you can only find someone who is familiar with the place to lead the way, otherwise you won’t find it.”
He followed Jiang You closely and kept chattering.
Jiang You sneered, "I just don't believe that there are so many survivors in Luoshi City. No one knows about Xuesong Town except you?"
The one-eyed old man was anxious, "Even if someone knew, no one would be willing to walk into the fog and die!"
Jiang You, "Then how can you be sure that the person you are talking about is willing to die?"
"Of course I know!"
The old man raised his head tremblingly, staring at Jiang You with cloudy eyes, and slowly said, "Because I used to be from Xuesong Town, and only people who came from there know the way back."
"Quack-"
Jiang You stopped and looked down at the old man who was breathing heavily. "Are you not afraid of death?"
"I will die sooner or later. I am already this old. It is worth it to eat a bowl of braised pork before I die." The old man licked his lips with satisfaction.
The taste of braised pork still lingers in the mouth.
He originally wanted to take the meat back, but given the situation at the time, if the woman died accidentally, his share of the braised pork would have to go to those bastards.
Instead of this, it’s better to eat it yourself.
But who could have known that this woman was so powerful, and the key was that she killed people without blinking an eye.
"Promise me that if you can come out of the fog alive, you will take my grandson to City No. 9. According to the route of the fog's expansion, City No. 9 is the farthest place!"
He felt at ease leaving his little grandson in the care of such a person.
After all, people who cause harm for a thousand years live longer.
By now the one-eyed old man had basically guessed that the man in front of him was clearly very confident that he could get out of the fog.
In this case, we might as well give it a try and find a way for A Shui to survive.
Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, it is better than waiting to die.
The one-eyed old man swore earnestly that he would be able to take Jiang You to find Xuesong Town.
But before leaving, he had to make arrangements for his little grandson.
Jiang You followed the one-eyed old man into the alley and followed behind him not too far away.
Only then did Jiang You realize that the old man in front of him was named Feng Gui. During the escape, he lost his daughter, his wife, his son and daughter-in-law, and only left behind a little grandson.
Along the way, I listened to him talking about how cute, well-behaved and obedient his little grandson was, but his health was not very good.
But when Jiang You asked him how he could feel at ease leaving his young grandson alone in Luoshi City, he said confidently that his grandson was very obedient and would not run around.
Jiang You was speechless. He was very obedient and wouldn't run around. Was it because of safety?
About a quarter of an hour later, Jiang You finally saw the legendary weak, unable to take care of himself, well-behaved and lovely grandson, Feng Miao, also known as Feng A Shui by the one-eyed old man.
She thought words like cute, obedient, and well-behaved were used to describe children.
But what the hell is this mountain of flesh in front of me?
In the dark and damp hut, a piece of meat was facing away from them.
"Crack, click, click..."
"Hahahahaha..."
The lump of meat kept shaking, and the air was filled with chewing sounds.
The ground nearby was littered with plucked black beetle wings. The messy wings formed a small hill, with at least a thousand of them.
Feng Gui laughed and shouted, "Ah Shui, Grandpa is back!"
"grandfather!"
The meat mountain turned its head with difficulty, and a face completely deformed by fat appeared in front of Jiang You.
The moment he saw the old man, the meat mountain's eyes lit up and a very well-behaved childish voice came out of his throat.
Just by listening to the voice, you would probably think this is a child who is less than ten years old.
But the guy in front of me weighs at least five or six hundred kilograms.
Maybe it was because the weather was very hot, or maybe it was because there was no suitable clothes for him, Feng A Shui only wore a piece of gray cloth around his waist to cover his butt and private parts.
The layers of fat on his back and arms made Jiang You realize for the first time that "meat" really is a hieroglyph.
"Grandpa, who is this sister?"
Jiang You felt his scalp tingling when he heard the childish voice.
"Ah Shui, this sister is from my hometown. I want to take her back. Can you just stay at home and wait for grandpa?"
"Can Ah Shui come with me?"
Feng A Shui struggled to stand up, but within a few seconds he fell back to the ground.
His legs couldn't support the weight of his body.
Even in places where a lot of fat was piled up, there were obvious signs of vomiting. Flies and black beetles smelling the stench kept coming out from every corner and crack of the house and crawling onto Feng Ashui's body.
Then it becomes his food.
His entire body was the biggest bait, and the smell of rotten meat on his body constantly attracted black beetles.
As long as he sat there, there was an endless supply of food.
