"Dadada." As the sound of hooves continued to ring, Li Huowang's carriage slowly left Cangshui County.
Besides Heitaisui, there were many long-lasting dry goods on the carriage, and Li Huowang took out a red jujube and slowly chewed it in his mouth.
"Is it sweet?" The monk leaned over, his wrinkled face folding together as he asked.
"Sweet." Li Huowang said, then took out a piece of walnut meat and chewed it in his mouth. "Do you think they're happy now?"
"They must be happy, otherwise, why would they give you these things?"
"Good that they're happy. This world is too painful. It's better to be happy a little more."
Li Huowang muttered to himself, struggling in his own pain and oppression, but by helping others get rid of the same situation as himself, this feeling seemed not bad.
Hearing movement beside him, Li Huowang turned his head and saw Mantou wagging its tail, scratching at the basket, burying its whole dog head in a large bamboo basket, chomping on something.
Li Huowang picked up the meat on its neck with his fingers, lifted it up, and threw it on the dirt road next to him. "Get down and run for me. Do you want to be slaughtered like a grown pig by eating like this every day?"
Mantou whimpered lowly, seeming to express some dissatisfaction, but seeing that Li Huowang did not wait for its opinion at all, it quickly trotted after him.
Looking at the endless dirt road before the horse, Li Huowang let go of the reins in his hand and let the horse move forward on its own.
Unlike cars, carriages don't need to be watched all the time. Horses are intelligent animals and will hide when they encounter danger and stop when they encounter a fork in the road.
With his hands free, Li Huowang took out an enlightenment book from his pocket. When he touched his stomach, Heitaisui inside immediately moved, and a black tentacle drilled out of his navel and hooked his finger.
He lowered his head and looked at the tentacle, as if it was thinking about something. After experiencing what happened before, he no longer rejected Heitaisui as much as before.
If it could intervene when he tried to commit suicide and help him in a crisis, it was quite good to have such a thing around to help him. Of course, if it didn't constantly try to take over his body, it would be even better.
Thinking of this, Li Huowang immediately took off his right earplug, and the noisy and clattering sound became clear in an instant. "Before, eat, hungry, I help you,"
"I know you helped me. Don't mention it all the time. Be quiet now."
As soon as Li Huowang finished speaking, Heitaisui's voice became smaller. "Okay...are you hungry? Eat."
"I'm not hungry. I'm learning letters from the book. You're talking nonsense. I need to learn more."Li Huowang held the enlightenment book in his hand and began to read it word by word.
He didn't know how much his Black Tai Sui inside his belly could absorb, but the smoother he spoke, the less harm it would do to him.
As he read, a new tentacle stretched out from Li Huowang's navel, and at the top of the tentacle was a pair of double pupils.
The crooked and twisted eye stem looked around slowly, but also attentively, full of curiosity.
Feeling the two pairs of eyes staring at him from one eyeball, Li Huowang stopped and grabbed the eyeball, examining it closely. "Red, isn't this your eyeball? Why wasn't it digested by Black Tai Sui?"
Red, who hadn't appeared for a long time, rose from under the rapidly rotating wheel. "This thing is a good treasure. I worked hard to trick it back then."
"Another treasure? Isn't this your original eyeball?"
It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from bit.ly/3iBfjkV.
"Of course not. Why don't you guess where I got it from?" Red smiled proudly.
Li Huowang glanced at it and ignored it, putting the eyeball back into Black Tai Sui's tentacle and starting to read again.
No matter how Red tempted him, he didn't ask any further. In constant contact with the other party, Li Huowang seemed to have figured out how to deal with the tricks of the Taoist sects that deceive beings.
As he taught, the time gradually came to noon, and a rest stop appeared on the side of the dirt road, with a few wooden tables and a few travelers sitting on them, eating noodles heartily.
Li Huowang thought for a moment, pulled the reins to stop the carriage, and with a tongue-out bun, walked towards the stall.
"What would you like, sir?" Smelling the strong smell of blood on Li Huowang, the stall owner with two small mustaches asked carefully.
"What do you have to eat? Just give me anything." Li Huowang didn't need to eat dry food with ready-to-eat food.
After all, dry food doesn't taste good in order to improve storage time.
"Hey, sir, please have some iced tea first! I'll serve you right away!" The little mustache went to the stove and started working with the pregnant wife.
Li Huowang picked up the iced tea pot on the table and poured it for the tongue-out bun next to him.
After seeing that the stray dog didn't react to the water line he bit, Li Huowang poured himself a bowl and started drinking.
Although this place was not far from Cangshui County, he didn't want to capsize in the gutter by being too careless.
"I have the alchemy furnace now, and next I need to find the medicinal materials. The pharmacy in Yinling City should have them. If not, I can ask Tuoba Danqing." Just as Li Huowang was thinking about these things, he saw the little mustache walking towards him with a bowl of noodles."Guest, your noodles are here." A bowl of steaming hot noodles was placed in front of Li Huowang. Although the noodles only contained some offal and wild vegetables with dried radish, the combination smelled very fragrant.
After eating the steamed bun, Li Huowang began to eat the noodles with relish. The vendor sold wide noodles, which seemed to be a mixture of several types of noodles, and had a very chewy texture.
At this moment, a customer came to Li Huowang. The vendor had finished making the noodles and had nothing else to do, so he sat down with his wife. Li Huowang, with his acute hearing, could hear their conversation clearly.
"Wife, take a break and don't tire our child."
"Erlang, don't just worry about me. Take the opportunity while there are no customers and go rest for a bit."
"Hehe, I'm not in a hurry. As long as I'm watching my child, I'm not hungry at all."
The vendor squatted down, carefully stroking his wife's belly with his hand, and spoke gently and kindly, "Baby, can you feel it? I'm your dad, be good and call me dad."
The pregnant woman lightly pinched the vendor's arm, annoyed, "What are you talking about? Which child can talk before they're born? You're acting silly."
"Don't interrupt, I'm talking to our child. The fortune teller said that if I talk to our child more now, he will have a better future!"
After speaking, he even prostrated himself, putting his ear to his wife's bulging belly, and said lovingly, "Child, can you hear me? I'm your daddy, call me dad."
As soon as the vendor finished speaking, an indistinct voice, like thunder, rang in Li Huowang's ear. "Daddy..."
