When Li Huowang woke up again, it was already the afternoon of the second day. The sufficient sleep made him feel much better mentally.
After washing up and dressing neatly, he walked outside the tent. "Li Shixiong, where are you going?" asked Bai Lingmiao, who was sewing clothes.
"I'm going to say goodbye to Sun Baolu. Since everything is done, it's time to leave," Li Huowang replied, looking back at her.
They had found the Heitaisui and dealt with Han Fu's Yuanying, so there was no need to stay in Qingqiu any longer.
After asking around nearby tents, Li Huowang finally found Sun Baolu on the outskirts of the grassland. He was riding a horse and flying a kite with his childhood friend from Qingqiu, and his hearty laughter could be heard from afar.
When Sun Baolu saw Li Huowang walking towards him, he quickly handed the string in his hand to his friend, stepped on the stirrup of the galloping horse, and jumped off.
It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from bit.ly/3iBfjkV.
"Li Shixiong, are you looking for me?" he asked, panting heavily.
Li Huowang looked at Sun Baolu again. "I've been here long enough. I'm leaving tomorrow."
"So soon?" Sun Baolu's face showed strong reluctance.
After all, they had been through a lot together for such a long time. It was false to say that they had no feelings for each other, especially since Li Huowang had brought him all the way back home despite his mental illness, and they had not rejected him because of his appearance.
"Li Shixiong, stay a few more days. We're all happy to have you here."
"What's the difference between staying a few more days and leaving later? Can we live here forever? You guys slaughter sheep and cattle every day. How can you live like that?"
"It's okay! The sheep in Qingqiu are cheap, and they are easier to raise than sheep from other places! After we finish eating them, we can go to Nvren Mountain to buy some lean lamb and lamb chops. Soon, we'll have a big flock again!"
Li Huowang smiled lightly. "Okay, I don't have time to chat with you anymore. Let's talk about something serious. What we saw in the cave that night, don't tell anyone about it."
"Especially the Lion Dance Palace. Treat them the same way you did before, and pretend you didn't find out they were a bunch of monsters."
Since the Lion Dance was able to exist in Qingqiu, regardless of what the Khan of Qingqiu thought, he must have tacitly approved of their showy presence. Perhaps these monsters living in the underground caves were the respectable families of Qingqiu.
It was not wise to offend them. If he didn't want Sun Baolu to get into trouble, the best way was to not provoke them.
Seeing Li Huowang's serious expression, Sun Baolu nodded earnestly. "Okay, Li Shixiong, I understand."
After explaining these things, Li Huowang looked at the young man in front of him again. "Does your girlfriend know about your condition?"
At the mention of this, Sun Baolu's cheerful smile froze, and he nodded somewhat bitterly. "She knows. It's okay. She doesn't mind."
"Okay, come with me," Li Huowang said, turning around and walking towards the tent. Sun Baolu was a little surprised at first, but he suddenly realized something and became extremely excited.
"Dog bastard! Where did you go? Come out!" Li Huowang's shouting echoed in the empty tent.
Half an hour later, in a tent, Li Huowang held a white spike and carefully moved various organs around Sun Baolu.
Suddenly, the tent was lifted, and Sun Baolu's mother and a group of Qingqiu people rushed in.As they looked at Sun Baolu's naked body on the bed, cries of surprise and gasps of shock rose and fell.
Li Huowang glanced at them, slowly pushing Sun Baolu's buttocks from the front to the back.
The dog, who was assisting on the side, also carefully moved the object Baolu used to urinate from his armpit to where it should have been.
Gradually, the tent became quiet, and everyone stared with wide eyes at everything in front of them. Many people looked at Li Huowang with extreme awe in their eyes.
Sun Baolu wasn't Li Huowang, he couldn't use a knife to fix it forcefully, and it was a bit crooked.
But even so, he was ecstatic, jumping around and unable to stop his tears and snot from flowing.
Even if it was crooked, these things finally returned to where they should have been. He wasn't a monster!
His defect, which he had been unable to speak of for more than ten years, finally disappeared at this moment.
When he kowtowed to Li Huowang, he was stopped. Excited, Baolu ran around the tent with his body bare. "I'm fine! I'm not a monster! I'm human!!"
That night, there was inevitably a big feast, and a group of people ate lamb, drank wine, and honey, celebrating Sun Baolu's return to normal.
Sun Baolu's parents raised their glasses and toasted Li Huowang at the same time. Other Qingqiu people who came to Li Huowang's side were respectful and dared not be negligent.
They had guessed that the person carrying two swords was not ordinary, but when they really saw him, it was another matter. For a while, all kinds of rumors spread among the Qingqiu people.
"Li Senior Brother, this place is so good, why don't we stay here? Liangguo isn't as good as here." The dog, holding a lamb leg and gnawing on it, whispered to Li Huowang.
"Eat your meat, your mouth can't be blocked by meat. If you want to stay, I won't stop you." Li Huowang picked up a piece of greasy and lean lamb meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
Upon hearing this, the dog was obviously moved and began to ponder.
Suddenly, a big hand covered his shoulder. It was Gao Zhijian's hand. The dog turned his head and saw him with a very serious expression. "Don't...don't...don't stay! There...there...there's a problem here."
"What's the problem? Baolu was born and raised here. What's the problem?" Li Huowang looked at them and Gao Zhijian with a serious expression, watching his fellow senior brothers and sisters eat large pieces of beef and mutton, watching their Adam's apples move as they swallowed the meat seasoned with strong spices. "I...I...I don't know...but...but...there's a problem!"
"If you can't explain it clearly, don't bother persuading others. If you have the time, practice speaking clearly and get rid of your stutter." When Li Huowang looked at him, Gao Zhijian scratched the back of his head with his big hand and returned to his seat, drinking the cup of ant honey in one gulp.
As the last night, it was a long night. When Li Huowang and the others sobered up and put everything on the ox cart, it was already noon.
The wriggling Black Tai Sui was tightly bound to the ox cart with thick cowhide and cow tendons.
"Li Senior Brother, until we meet again!" Sun Baolu, with slightly red eyes, hugged Li Huowang tightly."It's better to have no hope. I always feel that meeting me is not a good sign for you."
Li Huowang patted his back and turned around, leaving with the others.
