NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 735 Arrival at Cedar Town
A few days later.
"City Lord, the Xuesong Town is ahead! We're here!" Feng Gui leaned on his crutches, tears streaming down his face.
Less than 500 meters ahead of the two people was a deserted town.
The charred land was covered with cracks and showed no signs of life.
The same is true for small towns.
A town without people is no different from a lifeless corpse.
Feng Gui limped ahead, his bow legs shaking with excitement.
Of course, it wasn't entirely because of excitement. The main reason was that he really couldn't walk anymore.
Although he was over 60 years old, he still traveled long distances for 15 days in a row, relying entirely on nutritional supplements to sustain himself along the way.
I can’t eat enough, and I can’t die.
He felt that the four people who went to the West to obtain the Buddhist scriptures did not travel as far as he did.
And the most important thing is that Jiang You is not talkative most of the time.
He would often go two or three days without saying a word and would just follow him in silence. Sometimes, while walking, Feng Gui would suddenly wonder if he was the only one left.
When he saw the words "Xedong Town", he was more excited than when he saw his dead wife.
He kept muttering words like "here I am, here I am".
The town in front of me looked like a dead city, with messy garbage and debris everywhere on both sides of the street...
The places further away were covered by thick fog and could not be seen clearly at all.
"Dong Dong Dong~"
Jiang You walked silently, like a ghost.
Feng Gui was breathing heavily, and the stick he used as a crutch fell to the ground, hitting the ground repeatedly, making a crisp sound with an echo.
"City Lord, this is Xuesong Town. I never thought that I, an old man, could come back alive in my lifetime." Feng Gui looked around and then pointed in a direction with surprise.
“It only takes half an hour to walk straight down this road to my old house.
There are roses planted by Grandma Lai in front of the house. This damn old lady loves to sell flowers, but she doesn’t care about them after buying them. In the end, I have to trim the branches and get rid of insects and pests. Don’t you know that the bougainvillea on the wall is more than ten years old. Every year when it blooms, many young people take pictures under the flower wall..."
Jiang You, "Shut up, I'm not here to reminisce about the past with you."
Feng Gui, "... City Lord, this Xuesong Town is not big, but not small either. How can we find that monk? And it's been so long, and we're not sure if he's still here..." Maybe he has already become one of the piles of bones.
Feng Gui speculated in his heart.
But he didn't dare to say the last sentence.
Jiang You looked around and said, "I hope he is still here. If not, our trip would be in vain."
As she spoke, she waved her hand, and the originally silent Cedar Town was suddenly filled with gusts of fresh breeze. The thick fog gradually thinned and finally disappeared completely.
At the same time, a bundle of hemp rope appeared in Jiang You's hand, and his ink-black eyes stared straight at Feng Gui.
"I do have a way to find the monk Zhuxie as quickly as possible, but I need your cooperation."
Feng Gui stared at the bundle of blood-stained hemp rope in Jiang You's hand. His eyelids twitched and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Um... Lord City Lord... I'm old now, please take it easy."
Feng Gui closed his eyes pitifully and gave up resisting.
Although I don’t know what Jiang You wants to do, based on past experience, I know not to ask anything and just cooperate.
So ten minutes later, Feng Gui, who was tied up like a dumpling, was hung on the flagpole and swayed like bacon.
There is also a big speaker hanging on his body.
"Zhu Xie, Zhu Xie! I know you are here, come out! If you don't come out, I will kill this damn old man!"
"May the Buddha have mercy on me and punish the evil. Do you want to watch an innocent old man die because of you?"
"In the past, the Buddha cut off his flesh to feed an eagle. Why don't you follow his example today and sacrifice yourself for others?!"
"Zhu Xie, come out. I need your help with something. It's just a small matter! If you don't come out, I will cut this old man into pieces! You didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of you..."
"..."
The loud speaker plays continuously in a loop.
Jiang You used the same trick he had used to control Zhuxie in Four Seasons Valley.
She sat leisurely in the shade and said to Feng Gui, "Just bear with it for a while, we will come down and rest in half an hour.
Feng Gui, "...It's okay, Lord City Lord, I can still hold on."
He thought he was going to be severely punished, but to his surprise, he was just hung up.
Fortunately, City Lord Jiang doesn't seem to be a cruel person.
Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he saw Jiang You take out a huge whetstone and a silver knife from the backpack behind him and started sharpening the knife.
“Wipe… wipe… wipe…”
The sound of the blade and the whetstone rubbing against each other was slow and regular.
Jiang You's eyes were colder than the knife in her hand.
Feng Gui looked at the sharp silver sword with some concern, "Lord City Lord...what if he doesn't come out?"
"Then use some stimulation therapy."
"Stimulation therapy?" Feng Gui subconsciously felt that this was not a good word. Although Jiang You did not explain, he could roughly guess what stimulation therapy meant.
Jiang You said coldly while sharpening his knife, "Haven't you always been looking for a chance to die? Instead of dying meaninglessly, it's better to find a way that's useful to me."
She held up the long knife and scraped the blade with her thumb, testing the strength, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "If it really comes to that, remember to scream louder, don't die in vain."
Goose bumps crawled up his back. He thought he just needed to act as a hostage, but he didn't expect Jiang You to be serious.
Although I didn't originally plan to go back alive, but...but isn't dying by being cut into pieces a little too cruel?
"Three hours." Jiang You said, "After three hours, if Zhuxie still hasn't appeared..."
She glanced at Feng Gui and said, "Old man, just bear with me... We need to use some extreme methods to really determine whether he is still here.
Your death was useful. Don't worry, I will take good care of Feng Miao on the way to City No. 9."
Feng Gui had been looking forward to Feng Miao going to City No. 9, but after spending some time with Jiang You, he became a little shaken.
After careful consideration, he asked, "City Lord, can you take Ah Shui to Tingfeng City? You are a good person, and he will finally be able to live a better life under your jurisdiction.
Lord City Lord, I know I am greedy, but I want to ask you to take Ah Shui to Tingfeng City, okay?"
"see your performance……"
Jiang You was sharpening the knife calmly, but he was thinking in his mind how to make the sound of the loudspeaker penetrate every corner of Cedar Town.
Although this town is not big, the sound coverage of a single loudspeaker is limited and is definitely not enough.
So Feng Gui only saw Jiang You taking out one loud speaker after another from that not-so-big backpack. Soon, those loud speakers were spread all over the ground, at least thirty or fifty of them.
He had gotten used to it. City Lord Jiang's backpack was like a magic pocket, and he would never imagine taking anything out of it.
The man with the broken palm went out happily dragging a big loudspeaker. After a while, he came back and dragged out another big loudspeaker.
Every time it comes back, there is one less speaker on the ground.
