Chapter 198: The Ruined Temple in the Beast-Drivening City
Although Lin Wanwan was telling the story of Ghost Blows Out the Light, she also felt Mrs. Bai's emotions and turned around to look at her.
Mrs. Bai turned around and saw Lin Wanwan's worried expression and said:
"Hey! Are you worried about grandma? Don't worry, it's no big deal.
The Flying Dragon Soup is ready, but it will take a while, okay?"
After the Feilong soup was warm, Mrs. Bai picked up Lin Wanwan and fed her little by little with a wooden spoon.
This was the first time Lin Wanwan drank Feilong soup. In her previous life, Feilong mainly lived in Northeast China. There were actually quite a lot of Northeastern dishes, but later on it was not included in the eight major cuisines.
Because Northeastern cuisine used to have many famous dishes made with protected animals as ingredients, with the increasing awareness of wildlife protection and the introduction of relevant laws, the use of protected animals is no longer allowed.
The most famous one is the flying dragon, also known as the hazel grouse, which is a national first-class protected animal.
In the early days, the Northeast's "Three Fresh Dishes" used bears, deer, and Siberian tigers as ingredients, all of which are protected species.
Lin Wanwan looked at the pacifier. Now that they had the Siberian tiger, they only needed a bear and a deer.
The pacifier saw her and roared softly. Lin Wanwan grinned. This pacifier was really no joke.
Lin Wanwan took a sip of Feilong Soup, her eyes shining. The first taste of the soup, the delicious flavor bloomed on the tip of her tongue, hitting her taste buds in waves.
She quickly finished half a bowl of Feilong Soup. Madam Bai said, "Go to bed! We have to travel tomorrow."
Lin Wanwan closed her eyes and was about to go to sleep when she saw Pacifier sitting next to her, looking at her ingratiatingly.
Milk tea also showed an eager expression: "Tell me more... tell me more..."
Lin Wanwan had no choice but to continue talking, and the three animals were fascinated by her story.
In the second half of the night, Mulan and Cui Ya were on duty when they heard the sound of several mice. They quickly called Zhao Qiaoniang.
Zhao Qiaoniang and a dozen people followed the group of rats towards the Beast-Driving City, and Naitang led them deeper into the city.
The path that Naitang led them on seemed to be a narrow and rugged one, winding between the overgrown hillsides.
The road is covered with gravel and exposed tree roots. You have to be careful with every step you take when walking on it, as you might trip if you are not careful.
After walking for about an incense stick's time, Naitang led them to a dry well. Zhao Qiaoniang looked at it and said, "Are you asking us to jump in? This is a dry well. Won't our legs break if we jump in?"
"Squeak...squeak...squeak..." Naitang was a little anxious.
"You mean we can get to the Beast-Repelling City from the dry well?"
Naitang nodded quickly, and Zhao Qiaoniang sighed and said, "Okay! Then I'll try..."
She took out the rope on her back and said, "I'll go down and take a look first..."
Mulan stopped her and said, "Let me go down first! If anything happens, you can still find someone to save me!"
Zhao Qiaoniang tied the rope to the tree and said, "It's okay. I trust Naitang. I'll go down first."
Zhao Qiaoniang slowly climbed down the rope and found that there were wooden stakes neatly nailed on the inside of the well wall.
They are evenly spaced from top to bottom, forming a simple but practical wooden ladder from the wellhead to the bottom of the well.
"Come down! There are wooden stakes on the side of the well. You just need to climb down slowly." Zhao Qiaoniang also lit a torch.
Following this passage, they entered a dilapidated temple directly.
Most of the walls of this dilapidated temple in the Beast-Driving City have collapsed, broken bricks and tiles are scattered all over the ground, and the few remaining walls are full of cracks.
The temple door hung crookedly on the door frame, precariously about to fall, and the door hinges made a mournful creaking sound.
Walking into the dilapidated temple, the ground was covered with thick dust and fallen leaves, and there were spider webs in the corners, and the spider silk trembled gently in the breeze.
There is a statue enshrined in the center, but the face of the statue has been eroded to the point of being blurred, and only the general outline can be seen.
The colorful paintings on his body had peeled off completely, and only mottled traces remained of the once gorgeous clothes.
Mulan was about to speak when she heard a voice outside: "What's going on now?"
This was Lin Tugen's voice. His men said, "We've killed more than half of them. There are still some who are willing to surrender directly to us. I plan to keep them."
Lin Tugen smoked his pipe and said:
"Submit? Will these people be willing to truly submit to us?
What if they go to Bianjing and bite us back? You actually still believe these things. "
The subordinate sighed and said, "Boss, aren't we being too harsh? There are thousands of people in this Beast-Repelling City..."
Lin Tugen continued to smoke his pipe:
"Shunzi, don't mention these things again in the future. What we did was not glorious in the first place.
Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Now that it’s done, don’t dwell on it anymore.”
Shunzi nodded and said:
“There are a lot of girls out there, and they’re pretty pretty too. It’s pretty hard for us brothers, so we plan to enjoy ourselves tonight.
Boss, do you want me to arrange a few for you?"
Lin Tugen waved his hand and said:
"Forget it, I'm already old and I don't like this.
You guys should get this done quickly, no one can be left behind tomorrow."
Shunzi nodded obediently. After he left, he saw Sun Mei slowly walking in and saying, "Wow! You have such a good thing, and you don't want it..."
Lin Tugen hugged Sun Mei and said:
"Are you jealous, woman? I told you I only like you, but you just don't believe me.
Come and take a look at these things, and see if there is anything you like. If you like it, just take it."
Lin Tugen directly carried Sun Mei to a wooden box, and then slowly opened all the boxes.
When Sun Mei saw the contents of the wooden box, her eyes widened: "Is this the harvest this time?"
Lin Tugen looked at her and nodded, "Yes, what do you think? Is your man capable?"
Sun Mei laughed out loud: "Tugen, how come you're so awesome! Can I just take whatever I want?"
Sun Mei looked at Lin Tugen with fiery eyes. Lin Tugen laughed and said, "You need to have some ability to achieve it, right?"
"Death look..." Sun Mei was still trying very hard. Zhao Qiaoniang really couldn't stand it anymore. These two people were really shameless.
She lit the incense directly and covered her nose with it. This incense was specially made by Mrs. Bai. She only heard Lin Tugen and Sun Mei fall down with a "bang".
Zhao Qiaoniang quickly took out the nasal pot, sniffed the smell inside, and asked others to smell it as well. Only then did she come to her senses.
The incense was so strong that it took them a while to reach the center of the hall. Zhao Qiaoniang kicked Sun Mei over and said, "You damn woman, you look like this and still come out to seduce others. You are really shameless."
Mulan looked at Lin Tugen and said, "I'm going to do a good deed today..."
She took out a pair of scissors and cut off all of Lin Tugen's hair.
Zhao Qiaoniang looked at Sun Mei lying on the ground and laughed: "I think she deserves it too."
