Chapter 442: Mighty Little Fatties (1) 1
Yu Wan asked the shopkeeper about the time and rules of the courtesan.
The shopkeeper said, “Miss Dong receives guests on the first and fifteenth of every month. Only one young master is lucky enough to be her guest.”
Yu Wan touched her chin. “Today isn’t the first or fifteenth day of the month. What should we do?”
The shopkeeper smiled and said, “Young Master, you can wait.”
!!
Yu Wan shook her head. “I can’t wait.”
The longer they delayed, the more risk Yan Jiuchao had of the poison acting up. They also had an additional risk of their ident.i.ties being exposed.
“This…” The shopkeeper paused and hesitated.
Yu Wan gave him a gold ingot.
The shopkeeper refused. “Young Master, you’ve rewarded me enough. It would be against my conscience if I take more. I hesitated just now because that method is too difficult.”
“What method?” Yu Wan asked.
The shopkeeper thought for a while and said, “Miss Dong admires Gu Masters very much. If any of you are powerful Gu Masters, you can go and see Miss Dong directly.”
There were doctors, a.s.sa.s.sins, and priests among them, but there were no Gu Masters. Yu Wan sighed. “Looks like we can only wait for the fifteenth?”
Qing Yan: For the umpteenth time, I regret leaving Ah Wei in the village.
Back then, they had left Ah Wei behind because this kid always held them back. Moreover, they did not expect that the checking of travel pa.s.ses had become so strict. The journey to Great Zhou was clearly smooth sailing… Therefore, experience sometimes did not count.
Jiang Hai advised, “Forget it, at least we’ve found out the whereabouts of the Fire Lingzhi. It’ll be the fifteenth in seven days. We’ll see Miss Dong then. I hope no other Gu Master takes the Fire Lingzhi from her before that.”
This was the only way now. Perhaps they could use this period of time to find a powerful Gu Master. However, they had just arrived in the Imperial Capital and were unfamiliar with the place. Where could they find a reliable Gu Master?
While Yu Wan was worried about the Gu Master and the Fire Lingzhi, she did not know that Ah Wei and her three little fat fellows had also embarked on the journey to Nanzhao.
Ah Wei only discovered the three little black eggs hiding in the carriage after traveling for a full two days. Ah Wei was worried that the little black eggs would discover that he was missing and clamored for their family to catch up, so he rushed crazily all the way, day and night. Even his vigilance was not as high as before.
He got out of the carriage to relieve himself, and the three little black eggs also got out of the carriage to relieve themselves. They even returned to the carriage earlier than him. While he was eating, the little black eggs were also eating inside.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Hmm… he felt like there was a little mouse.
On the third day, Xiaobao ate a lot of dried sweet potatoes and let out a small fart. The fart that sounded like thunderclap frightened Ah Wei, who was driving the carriage, so much that he almost fell off the carriage!
The three little black eggs then helped their master up. Three pairs of big black eyes looked at him adorably. Ah Wei was speechless.
Ah Wei: “!!!”
Ah Wei was about to break down! Why were the little farts that he had painstakingly shaken off following him again?!
Ah Wei died on the spot for three seconds! He had rushed too hard and had already left Lotus Flower Town far behind. It was impossible to send the three little black eggs back. After all, the smell in the air had a time limit. Once he did so, his Gu worm would probably not be able to sense the aura of Grandma and the others.
Ah Wei, who had a terrible sense of direction, could not go home himself. He could only bring the three little black eggs along. They traveled during the day and rested at night. As most of them stayed in the carriage, the three little black eggs were fine, but it was hard on Ah Wei.
The style of the number one villain of the Ghost Clan was now like this:
Ah Wei, hungry!
Ah Wei, back itchy!
Ah Wei, I want to shower!
Ah Wei, I want to wipe my b.u.t.t!
… I want to drink milk!
… I want to sleep!
Want… want to tire him to death…
The group finally left the Great Zhou and arrived at Qinghe Town. The little fatties had become rounder, but Ah Wei had lost weight… lost a lot of weight…
Coincidentally, the inn they checked into was the shady shop that Yu Wan, Yan Jiuchao, and the others had stayed in before. The shady shop had been ruthlessly robbed once and its vitality had been greatly damaged, but it was not completely dead. After some repairs, it started operating in a high-profile manner again.
Ah Wei’s carriage stopped in front of the inn. He pulled open the back door of the carriage and three little black eggs walked down with a fat white goat.
This was a goat that Ah Wei had saved up on food halfway and spent five taels of silver to buy for them. It was quite thin when he bought it. For some reason, the three little fellows fed it until it was as fat as them.
The three of them entered the inn valiantly.
