Chapter 503 I'll grant your wish (29)
Mo Qiong felt a sense of despair, knowing how difficult it would be to walk out of the desert.
There was no point in continuing to pull the carriage; people pulling the carriage would only hinder the progress of walking.
Xiong Bufan carried most of the things, while Mo Qiong held only a knife as the two walked across the desert.
Mochou felt it was all her fault for not keeping an eye on the horse, causing her master and herself to suffer together. "Master, is the thing heavy? Should I carry it for a while?"
Xiong Bufan: "No need, I can carry it myself. Just don't fall down and hold me back."
"Yes, Master."
The incident of eating the horse last night made Xiong Bufan feel a little guilty, so he simply carried his luggage and walked forward.
Kongkong: "Bufan, why don't you try driving?"
Xiong Bufan: "Driving is not allowed in this world. The laws of nature do not permit the existence of technology that surpasses this world."
"Ok."
Xiong Bufan had taken out a snack in a plastic package earlier, and as soon as he took it out, the plastic bag and the food turned to ashes together. Xiong Bufan felt sorry for it for a while.
Later, not believing in such superstitions, he took out a smaller bag to conduct the experiment, and it turned to ashes in the same way.
The car cost money; it would be such a waste to turn it to ashes.
Although it's early autumn, the weather is extremely hot.
Seeing Mo Qiong looking guilty, Xiong Bufan simply picked her up, tucked her under his arm, and ran forward quickly.
If Xiong Bufan continued walking with this person, he would either die of thirst or exhaustion.
Mo Qiong was still a little panicked when she was lifted up. "Master, Master, please put me down!"
Xiong Bufan didn't say anything, he just ran even faster.
If this thing weren't so useless, would she have been running wildly across the desert?
Xiong Bufan ran too fast, and the sand he stirred up kept rushing into Mo Qiong's mouth.
"cough cough"
Xiong Bufan even has his own background music when he walks; his life is finally getting better.
A city appeared ahead, and Xiong Bufan led Mo Qiong to run there quickly.
Hopefully this isn't a mirage, and she can have a proper meal.
This was the first time Mo Qiong had seen Xiong Bufan move so fast. Judging from his footwork, it looked very much like the legendary Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique).
Master is truly amazing; he even knows the legendary kung fu.
In fact, Xiong Bufan is simply fast runner.
The yellow sand kept being thrown behind her, and Mo Qiong felt dizzy. She started gagging and was about to vomit.
Noticing the commotion behind him, Xiong Bufan said, "If you dare to vomit on me, I'll kill you."
Upon hearing this, Mo Qiong quickly covered her mouth, not daring to doubt the truthfulness of Xiong Bufan's words.
As more and more people gathered around, Xiong Bufan slowed down.
Xiong Bufan put Mo Qiong back on the ground, and the two of them mingled among ordinary people like any other ordinary people.
Mo Qiong looked at Xiong Bufan with admiration. Her master had saved her life again; otherwise, she would have been trapped and died in the desert.
After the guards checked their travel permits, they let the two in.
There were significantly more people in the city center. Although it wasn't as bustling as the places they passed through, it was still possible to get a full meal.
Xiong Bufan led Mo Qiong to an inn and placed a silver ingot on the table. "Innkeeper, what good food do you have here?"
Li Bo, a middle-aged man in his forties, was doing accounts when he saw the silver. His eyes lit up and he quickly came over. "Cold vegetable salad, this is our specialty."
There's also hand-pulled mutton, milk tea, and roasted mutton.
Xiong Bufan: "One small portion of vegetables, and three portions of everything else. Money is not a problem."
"okay."
In places where water is scarce, green vegetables are especially precious, let alone in early autumn.
Li Boyi bit the silver in his mouth, and after seeing a tooth mark, he put it in his pocket with satisfaction.
They might not even earn ten taels of silver a year, but today's customer is a big spender.
Xiong Bufan's actions just now also attracted the attention of the other people in the store. They lowered their heads and drank their wine, but their eyes were secretly watching Mo Qiong and Xiong Bufan.
Having roamed the martial world for so long, Mo Qiong is very sensitive to danger.
Mo Qiong placed her hand on the knife and cautiously said to Xiong Bufan, "Master, let's be careful."
"Why are you so nervous? Hurry up and pour me some tea."
"Yes, Master."
Because the money was generous, the dishes were served quickly. "The dishes are here, please enjoy your meal."
Xiong Bufan grabbed a piece of mutton and stuffed it into his mouth. The mutton was fragrant but not greasy, and it didn't have a strong muttony smell, which pleased Xiong Bufan.
Mo Qiong was initially worried that someone might poison the meat, but seeing Xiong Bufan eating with relish, she gradually lowered her guard and picked up a piece of mutton and put it in her mouth.
Kongkong also has his own plate of mutton in the space.
For a moment, all that could be heard between Xiong Bufan and Mo Qiong was the sound of chewing food.
Mo Qiong also put the knife on the table, since holding the knife all the time really affected her eating.
A handsome young man approached and said, "Young heroes, would you mind sharing a table?"
Xiong Bufan glanced at him, then quickly lowered his head and continued eating.
Mo Qiong felt that this person was trying to freeload, and refused, saying, "No, young master, please go somewhere else."
After being rejected, the handsome young man did not leave immediately. Instead, he began to try to get closer to the two of them, saying, "I see that you two are from the Central Plains, and my mother is also from the Central Plains. I feel especially close to you two."
Xiong Bufan remained silent, and Mo Qiong also fell silent.
After being ignored twice, even the most thick-skinned young man couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He stepped forward and said softly, "Please be careful, you two."
Xiong Bufan looked up and realized that this unfortunate kid was genuinely kind and didn't have any ulterior motives; in fact, he had something called the protagonist's halo.
"None of your business, go have fun."
The handsome young man didn't leave immediately; instead, he sat at a table not far from the two of them and ordered a pot of tea, which he sipped slowly.
Xiong Bufan just thought this person was a bit brainless, not leaving after telling him, waiting for someone to seek revenge.
The plates on the table were changed again and again, and the lamb bones were piled up like a small mountain. After Mo Qiong finished eating, she served Xiong Bufan, handing him water and fetching things for him.
Xiong Bufan wiped her mouth; she hadn't eaten so heartily in a long time.
If it weren't for the fact that he was spending his own money, Xiong Bufan wouldn't feel full even after eating here for a whole day and night.
The two arrived at the inn at noon and didn't leave until evening.
The pale-faced young man and the others waiting to rob Xiong Bufan stared wide-eyed, simply unable to believe that there could be such a voracious woman in the world.
The second floor of the restaurant was where the accommodations were located, which saved Xiong Bufan from having to run around everywhere.
After paying at the counter, I went upstairs to rest.
The people on the first floor were dumbfounded. Their afternoon of guarding had been for nothing, as the two of them didn't even come out.
How could they possibly rob someone? Would they break into an inn at night? Well, that's not impossible.
Those who couldn't reach Xiong Bufan naturally vented their anger on the pale-faced young man, shoving him aside and saying, "If you meddle again, I'll break your legs."
"The leg is right here, go ahead and hit it."
The man turned and stormed off, deciding it was pointless to argue with this pale-faced fool.
