Chapter 40: Recuperation
Two days later, on a remote path, a young man with clear eyebrows and a young and elegant man next to him was followed by a green ox walking slowly.
"After crossing the river in front, we will approach the southwest hinterland after two days. Let's find a place to rest and recuperate, and then we'll be in the best shape before hitting the road. Zhuge Fuming looked at Meng Han's expression and proposed.
"That's fine, I need some time to be quiet and figure out something" Meng Han agreed with Zhuge Fuming's proposal, after all, this place is close to the battlefield, and no one will not believe it if they say that they will encounter foreign races. As for Qingniu's opinion, he directly ignored it.
"There is cooking smoke rising ahead, it is estimated that there is a small village, let's go over and take a look, find a place to settle down" Zhuge Fuming pointed to the rising cooking smoke in front of him.
The group set off again, and after a while, a village appeared in front of everyone, this village was not as dilapidated as imagined, but thriving, full of vitality, villagers who came and went fishing, shouting, shouting and selling.
"Brother Zhuge , don't come to harm!" Meng Han and Zhuge Fuming looked to the side, and a group of five people walked towards them, looking at the decorations on their bodies, they could see at a glance that they were the children of the academy.
"Brother Chu, don't come to harm, how are you doing lately?" Zhuge Fuming also replied politely.
"Thanks to Brother Zhuge , except for meeting a person of a different race who is not long-eyed on the road, everything else is fine, and the one next to me is" The leader asked Meng Han.
"In Xia Menghan, he is my eldest brother, and now there is a lot of inconvenience, please forgive me" Menghan said to the five people very politely.
"In Xia Chuyun, these people are Ma Artillery, Zhang Yu, Zhao Qian, and Sun Bing. Brother Meng doesn't need to see outside, they are all disciples of the academy" Chu Yun introduced a few people behind him to Meng Han and the others, and everyone saluted one by one and returned the salute.
"By the way, Brother Zhuge and Brother Meng are ready to cross the river to the front line of the Southwest Theater. Chu Yun asked the two.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Zhuge Fuming asked rhetorically.
"Brother Zhuge doesn't know, a few of us have been waiting here for more than a week, and now we can't cross the river" Chu Yun and the four behind him all smiled bitterly.
"Did something happen, don't I see that the fishermen are all fishing on the river, don't you see anything?" Meng Han asked his own question.
"The other side is occupied by several powerful alien races, as long as you don't get close to the other side, it's fine, and once you get close, don't think about coming back alive. Over time, the fishermen will not dare to go over, and no matter how much money you say, it is useless. This time it was Sun Bing who opened his mouth to explain.
"Yes, the five of us were going to go to the other side to have a look, but before the boat docked, we found that the woods on the opposite side were covered with dense snakes, which looked very troublesome. We retreated back to see if there was any way, and waited until now, waiting for Brother Zhuge and the others. Chu Yun also explained to the two of them helplessly.
"Oh! It seems that it is really a trouble, this matter has to be discussed in the long run" Zhuge Fuming also shook his head, as for what he thought in his heart, others didn't know.
"Let's not bother Brother Zhuge and Brother Meng, you go find an inn to live in first, let's go outside" Chu Yun saw that what he said was almost done, so he took his leave.
When Menghan and his party walked away, the five of them gathered together again.
"If the guess is right, that Meng Han and Zhuge Fuming should have heavy weapons on their bodies, otherwise they won't be here unharmed, think about what happened to us on the road, and then there is a master of the Thousand Machines City who divination with his life, and calculate that the murder of Miss Qingqing is related to these two people, and we can also report it and get a reward" Chu Yun took the lead in putting forward his own opinion.
"Hmph, I see that Miss Qingqing didn't know what tricks they had fallen for, so she joined them and finally took her life. Such a vulgar and cunning person, we are fellow disciples of the academy with him, and we are really shameful. The man named Zhao Qian had a grim look in his eyes and a look of disdain.
"Okay, Brother Zhao, none of us understand your thoughts, you fell in love with Miss Qingqing at first sight, and we all know your secret feelings, but this kind of character is not something we can climb. Now you can't act rashly, let's pass the news to the major families of Liang Ancheng first to see what they have planned. We'll just watch the play from the sidelines, and the reward will be enough. The slightly fat horse ran to dispel Zhao Qian's unrealistic thoughts.
"Hmph!~" Zhao Qian shook his hand unwillingly. As a few people walked out of the village.
Menghan and his party who entered the village were ready to find an inn to live in, and Qingniu became a problem again, but this time after Menghan's unremitting enlightenment, Qingniu was finally willing to enter the mysterious space in Menghan's mind.
In this way, Meng Han and Zhuge Fuming walked into the inn.
"Are you two eating or housing?" As soon as he entered the door of the inn, a person who looked like a shopkeeper greeted him.
"Prepare two guest rooms for us, and prepare some more meals to be delivered," Zhuge Fuming said to the shopkeeper in a light car.
"Okay!, the two of you, please come here" The shopkeeper led Meng Han and Zhuge Fuming upstairs.
Only then did Meng Han notice that there were many people sitting in the hall of this inn, and at this time, many people were looking at him, walking up and down with good intentions in their eyes.
"Let's go, don't look at it" At this time, Zhuge Fuming reminded loudly, and Meng Han turned his head and continued to go upstairs.
"Two guest officers, these two adjacent guest rooms are enough, the food will be sent to the next generation, if there is nothing to do, the small one will retire first" The shopkeeper said hello to the two and went downstairs.
When he entered the room, Meng Han carefully took out a ring given by Qingniu, this ring is said to be able to store a person's body for a hundred years without decaying, and there is Qingqing's body inside, looking at her pale face, Meng Han's heart is a pang.
"Second brother, look at the point, people can't be resurrected after death, the key is that we are too weak, now we have to be careful, just now I think you also noticed that the situation is a little wrong" Zhuge Fuming frowned and speculated.
"Will we be in any trouble?" Meng Han asked rhetorically.
"Wait, I'll take a hexagram" Zhuge Fuming took out the tortoise shell and deduced.
"The hexagram is auspicious, but the texture around it is not smooth, there is no blood and light disaster, but some troubles cannot be avoided" Zhuge Fuming put away the tortoise shell and explained to Menghan.
"Now I just hope that there will be as little trouble as possible, otherwise it will be really annoying" Meng Han frowned, and a fire was slowly growing in his heart.
"What we should have done has been done, this matter is our fault, it is also fate, now we have to cheer up, there are more important things we need to do" Zhuge Fuming sighed.
"Grandpa Qingniu, how long will it take for us to fully return to our previous state, can you be specific, don't talk about it for a while, it's been a while" Meng Han woke up the sleeping Qingniu in his mind and asked it.
"Don't worry, now your cultivation has been seriously injured, and you have hurt the fundamentals. I gave you medicine and it takes time to recover, there are only benefits, there is no harm, you can rest assured" Qingniu impatiently drove Meng Han away and continued to sleep.
There was a knock on the door, Menghan got up to open the door, who knew that he was stunned when he opened the door.
"Why is it you!".
