The old man had helped them at the critical moment! Therefore, they should repay this kindness.
Since the old man’s wife was injured and she knew medicine, she should take a look. She might be able to help.
“Don’t worry! Let’s stay here for two days! We’ll see what happens when the old lady comes back!” Luo Cheng looked at his wife and said.
With Luo Cheng’s assurance, Li Xiaoran was relieved.
“I’ll follow you guys wherever you go! Anyway, my mentor said that with my bad luck, only by following Brother Luo Cheng can I be saved. Brother Luo Cheng, Sister-in-law, you can’t abandon me. You have to bring me along wherever you go!” Wu Qinghe said pitifully.
Luo Cheng glanced at Wu Qinghe and replied, “Alright! I’ll let you follow me for the time being, but if you have ill intentions, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
“Don’t worry, don’t worry. I don’t have ill intentions towards you guys! I’m counting on you to help me get rid of my bad luck!” Wu Qinghe quickly promised.
When Shu Ruyue heard their conversation, she immediately asked, “Then can I follow you? I’m out to roam the martial world anyway. It’s fine as long as I can fight people! I feel that you’re all good people and to my liking. If you don’t mind, let me follow you!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Shu Ruyue’s words, she was amused.
She and Luo Cheng were just out on a vacation. Why did they gain two lackeys before they even left White Foothill City?!
Luo Cheng didn’t mind, since one person or two people didn’t make a difference to him.
Since Shu Ruyue was pestering Wu Qinghe, he could accompany his wife.
“Alright, it’s up to you. If you want to follow us, follow us! However, I have to put the word out there. If you have ill intentions, don’t blame me for being ruthless! Besides, we’re going out to vacation. If you want to follow us, so be it!” Luo Cheng said.
Seeing that Luo Cheng had agreed, Wu Qinghe and Shu Ruyue were very happy.
Soon, a sumptuous breakfast was ready.
There was sweet potato rice, stir-fried eggs with chives, stir-fried cured meat with vegetables, and a large plate of stir-fried cabbage.
When the old man was called out, the food was already on the table.
In order to cater to the old man’s preferences, Li Xiaoran even steamed an egg. The steamed eggs were doused with some stir-fried heads with chopped cured meat.
This way, even if he had bad teeth, he could eat some cured meat.
As expected, the old man liked the sweet potato braised rice. The bacon and steamed eggs were not bad either. In the end, the old man also ate a few mouthfuls of chives and scrambled eggs.
“Sigh, after my wife fell unconscious, I rarely ever had a good meal! Who made these dishes? They’re comparable to my wife’s cooking! Not bad, not bad!” the old man said happily.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, he immediately sneered.
Li Xiaoran knew that for the old man, to be able to compete with his wife’s culinary skills was the highest praise.
Because in the old man’s heart, his wife’s food was naturally the best.
If her culinary skills were comparable to the old lady’s, it was naturally the highest evaluation.
“If you like it, eat more!”
“No, no. I’ve eaten enough for now!” The old man waved his hand and refused. “I have to watch my food intake. Otherwise, my lifespan will shorten!”
Everyone laughed when they heard the old man’s words.
“Sir, may I ask why you were waiting at the woodshed yesterday? Also, why did you say that we were your fated people when you saw us?” Luo Cheng thought of something and asked after laughing.
At the mention of this, the old man looked baffled.
“I came to deliver firewood to the inn yesterday! I sent all the firewood to this inn in a few days, but I didn’t expect the officials to come in just as I sent the firewood over. They pulled my firewood away and didn’t let me leave. I had no choice but to wait in the woodshed. As for the matter of fated people, I had a dream last night, when someone told me not to run around if I was trapped in a place tomorrow if I encountered an emergency and to stay in the woodshed!” With that, the old man looked at the others.
“You might not believe it, but the other party told me which corner of the woodshed there was a tunnel at. He also told me the terrain of the tunnel and where the Night Pearls were hidden. He said that after I saw the first batch of people who came looking for me, I should leave through the tunnel with them. The other party also said that as long as I did this, I would be rewarded with a
blessing that would make me very happy! ”
In the past, Luo Cheng definitely wouldn’t have believed this.
However, after witnessing Li Xiaoran’s special abilities, Luo Cheng believed the old man.
Li Xiaoran didn’t need to ask. She had transmigrated herself, so she naturally believed in this sort of mysterious thing.
In other words, everything depended on fate.
It was destined that the few of them wouldn’t die in the inn and would avoid this calamitv. That was all.
Wu Qinghe studied metaphysics himself, so he was very accepting of such things and didn’t find it strange.
As for Shu Ruyue, although she had never heard of such a thing, she was also a member of the martial world and had heard a lot of strange things, so she didn’t think it was a big deal.
“Everything is predestined! Sir, this might be true!” Li Xiaoran said meaningfully.
The old man didn’t think too much about it. He just felt that the juniors in front of him were very likable, so he was willing to make things easier for them.
“I hope so! Actually, when I encountered this, I panicked for a while. I also thought about leaving through this secret passage. It’s just that when I thought of what happened in the dream, I hesitated again. At that time, I thought that if everything was true, I could save a few people and do a good deed!”
At this point, the old man laughed.
“As it turns out, my wait wasn’t in vain!”
With that, the old man brought over the cherries he had washed. “Come and try it! I planted these cherries myself. Everyone, try them!” Li Xiaoran nodded and reached out to take some cherries to eat.
It had to be said that although this cherry wasn’t very big, it was very sweet.
The others tried some too before they stopped eating.
After all, cherries were rare fruits now, so it was better to leave some for the old man to eat.
After dinner, everyone packed up.
“Father, I’m back with Mother!” A man’s voice came from outside mid-morning..
