I have a weird dynasty

Chapter 76 Post Station (asking for monthly ticket)

All the bodies were burned in the fire, including the cursed medicine bottle in the widow of the Li family.

No one knows what kind of changes will happen in the future.

Sang Que could only think in his heart that it would be better to remind He Buning next time he saw him. But it was also possible that He Buning, as the night patrol captain of the Evil Suppression Bureau, was not afraid of the curse at all.

The villagers set out on their way again, the atmosphere was depressing and gloomy.

Some people said that if the widow of the Li family had not died, no one would dare to take her on the road. Yesterday, she not only bit her mother-in-law to death, but also bit the father of her two children to death.

Now that she is dead, everyone feels relieved and even sympathizes with the child she left behind. They can also accept that the old village chief took the child with him.

In the past, if there was an orphan in the village, all the villagers and able-bodied families would take in the orphan so that the family would have more labor force, but everyone despised this child.

Although children under three years old are protected by fate notes and will not be disturbed by evil spirits, the Li family has a deal with the earth ghost. Who knows if that child will be harmed by the earth ghost like the previous child.

The sky was gloomy and foggy today. Not long after they came out of the woods, they saw the original Tangyuan County. The city wall had collapsed and was shrouded in a thin blood mist. It was dead silent and lifeless.

Normally at this time, the city gates are wide open, ready to welcome the merchants from nearby villages to the bustling market.

A black banner with the three big characters "Zhen Xie Si" written on it was planted in the middle of the road leading to Tangyuan County. It fluttered in the cold wind, as if it was carrying an invisible aura, isolating the blood mist wafting from Tangyuan County behind it.

There was nothing special about traveling during the day except being tired. The journey was long and no one dared to stop. Most of them were jogging for fear of not reaching the post station before nightfall.

Those who were not physically fit would take turns to rest on the donkey cart. Except for drinking water and going to the toilet, they hardly stopped.

I was lucky last night, but not tonight, so I must not waste any time.

On the way, they also met some people who were equally lucky and had escaped from various villages. There were not many of them, just a few scattered people. When they saw the large group from Heishan Village, they spontaneously followed.

Among them were villagers from Shihe Village who were rescued by He Buning and his two companions. There were many elderly, weak, women and children in that group. They were all in shock and looked extremely frightened. Only about twenty people escaped from the entire village.

Sang Que secretly observed and learned from their conversations with other people that the people of Shihe Village encountered the passing of Yin soldiers not long after He Buning and the other three left.

Originally more than eighty people escaped, but they were captured by the evil soldiers, leaving only twenty or so elderly, weak, women and children.

The group of people were on their way non-stop. When the sun set in the west and only a ray of sunset glow remained, they finally saw smoke from cooking in the forest and arrived at the Wanfu Post Station.

The people at the post station were not surprised at all to see the large group of over a hundred people. They even prepared several large bunk beds and prepared hot water and meals in advance.

The most important thing is that someone paid money to let the post station properly arrange for the refugees from the surrounding areas of Tangyuan County.

Kou Yushan, Sang Que and the others all thought of He Buning at the same time, because only he knew that so many people would come to the post station.

The tired people cried with joy. They could finally take a break, wash up and have a hot meal.

As for the rest, we can discuss it after everyone has recovered their strength.

Sang Que didn't want to sleep in a dormitory with the women and children in Heishan Village. She also wanted to go back home as soon as possible. She had promised her mother that she would go back on the 19th, which was today.

Fortunately, she had the silver that Yan Daozi had extorted from her. She paid a dime and asked for a single room upstairs in the post station.

Xia Chan was afraid to stay with other people, so Sang Que had to take her with her. In the evening, he asked the waiter for hot water and a bathtub, helped Xia Chan take a good bath, and changed her into clothes borrowed from He Shouhui.

Afterwards, he gave Xia Chan a delicious meal and told her that he would be going out in the evening and back the next morning.

After Xia Chan confirmed that she would not lie, she fell asleep hugging the soft quilt. Kou Yushan also made arrangements, saying that she would be out for the evening and would be back tomorrow, and asked Kou Yushan to keep an eye on Xia Chan.

After everything was settled, it was exactly eight o'clock in the evening. Sang Que took the soul lamp, the corpse mud jar and Xia Chan's dirty clothes, and took Xuan Yu with her, and opened the door from where she lived.

After passing through the darkness and walking about three steps away, Sang Que saw a door. After pushing it open, the familiar living room of his own home came into view.

"Mom, I'm back!"

Meow~
The study door was opened almost immediately. Sang Wan, wearing a prosthetic limb, held the door and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Sang Que return safely.

Sang Que was only away for three days, but Sang Wan felt like it was three years.

woof!woof!
The little general ran out excitedly with his tennis ball in his mouth. He ran to Xuan Yu, threw the tennis ball down, whimpered in grievance, and swung his tail so hard that his butt was about to fly up.

Xuan Yu slapped the tennis ball away with his paw, and after sending the little general away, he went to rub against Sang Wan, meowing and asking for a can.

Sang Que also reached out to Sang Wan for her phone, "Mom, let me order takeout!"

One person and one cat, both crying for food.

After ordering a bunch of food, Sang Que hurried to take a shower, while Sang Wan sat in the restaurant feeding Xuan Yu cat food.

After Sang Que finished washing and changed into comfortable pajamas, she came out of the bathroom and saw her mother limping to the door to receive her takeaway.

In just three days, my mother's walking with the prosthesis has been much more stable than before, which shows that she has practiced a lot in these three days. If she continues like this, it won't be long before my mother can restore her normal gait.

Sang Que knew that her mother had a strong sense of self-esteem, so she did not go over to help her and just stuffed all the dirty clothes into the washing machine.

When the lid of the spicy hot pot was opened, the spicy and fragrant smell hit Sang Que's face. His stomach immediately started to growl. Xuan Yu had already finished a can and asked Sang Wan to open another one for him.

Sang Wan waited until Sang Que slowed down his eating pace and was about 80% full before asking, "How have you been these past few days?"

After taking a sip of iced freshly squeezed watermelon juice, Sang Que nodded, "Fortunately, it was a close call, but many people still died..."

After Xuanyu had eaten, he would play and wrestle with the little general in the living room. The little general would not say a word no matter how Xuanyu hit or bit him. But if the little general pretended to bite Xuanyu, Xuanyu would immediately jump up and give the little general a series of claws.

"...That's about it. We are all staying at the post station now. I'm afraid we won't be able to discuss what to do next until tomorrow morning."

Sang Wan's palms were sweating from nervousness; she had never expected so many things to happen in just three days.

Although Sang Que brushed off all the dangers in one sentence, Sang Wan could imagine the danger at that time.

And Sang Que just said that she has a brother in the Gui Dynasty, which made Sang Wan surprised, happy, and worried at the same time.

"Xiao Que, you still have a brother in this world. Mom is very happy. I also support you to find your brother. But some of my words may not sound good, but I still want to say it. Do you still remember the interview program about kidnapping and finding relatives that you watched with me before?"

Sang Que was confused, "I remember, what's wrong?"

"What I want to say is that those children were all cute and well-behaved when they were young, but after being abducted for so many years, the different environments have made them all different people. Of course, there are good people among them, but there are also... people who have served time in prison."

"Mom doesn't mean to slander or look down on anyone, but with so many real examples in front of me, I can't help but wonder, will your brother, who is already in his early twenties, really become a kind and upright person like you in a place like the Gui Dynasty?"

"You are so outstanding. If you can have an equally outstanding brother to accompany you, mom will be happier than anyone else. So I don't object to you looking for him, but I also have to consider the worst possibility, even if the probability of it happening is very small. I just want to ask you one thing. After you find him, don't rush to reveal your identity and recognize him. Observe him for a while first, okay?"
