Chapter 15: The Big Eater. Yao
“Li Xiong, if you dare to hit me, I’ll go talk to your mother.”
“Wu Lao Er, that’s all you’ve got. Pui, it must have been heaven’s fault that Zhuzhu married you!”
“Hmph, Zhuzhu is a name you can call? That’s my wife… I’m richer than you, Zhuzhu will naturally choose me!”
The fight that was expected did not immediately begin, which disappointed Gu Qingheng a little. However, listening to the conversation between the two men again caused Gu Qingheng’s eyes to fill with intense gossip.
He hadn’t expected that the two not only knew each other but also had a feud of stealing a woman’s heart!
It’s really exciting to see how things develop!
Hurry!
Keep arguing!
The fiercer the argument, the better.
This way, it’s lively!
“Don’t say so much, just let me beat you up, and today’s matter will be settled.”
“Why! Why should I let you beat me? I already said, this is not your house, I say what I like and what I want, can you control it!”
“When everyone is eating, you say things that make people eat dead people, who are you disgusting!”
“What I said is true! The corpse in the mortuary was stolen. Besides taking it home to eat dead people’s meat, what else could it be used for!”
However, things did not develop as Gu Qingheng had imagined. The topic about Zhuzhu was like ripples on water, flashing and disappearing, and was not brought up again by the two.
But, after they started talking about the stolen corpse from the mortuary, the two started arguing fiercely again.
This made the people who had gathered around to watch the excitement also very curious. They didn’t expect that these two would start fighting for such a reason.
“I also have some impression of the stolen corpse from the mortuary that they are talking about. I heard that place is quite eerie. The corpse disappeared at night, and the old man guarding the mortuary was so scared that he peed himself.”
“I’ve also heard that it’s not just our town. The corpses in several neighboring towns have also been stolen. Perhaps it’s the work of the same person!”
“What do they want with so many stolen corpses? Even if they really eat dead people’s meat, they can’t eat this much!”
“You wouldn’t know this. Dead people’s meat can cure that, it’s just that the problem of not lasting at night, it can always keep you strong and energetic, and service several women at night!”
Gu Yu listened as the surrounding people started to go off-topic. Looking at his younger brother-in-law, who was listening with great interest, he felt a headache coming on. He thought that if Gu Mengyao knew about this, she would definitely scold him properly.
Fortunately, at this moment, the buns were ready.
“Qingheng, let’s go back.”
“Brother-in-law, wait a moment! Those two haven’t started fighting yet. We’ve listened for so long, we should at least see them fight!”
“Don’t tell me that. I said we’re going back, so we’re going back. Otherwise… shall I invite your sister to pick you up?”
“Brother-in-law, you’re truly my brother-in-law. I’ll go back, alright!”
After Gu Yu took the bagged buns, seeing Gu Qingheng’s reluctance to leave, he didn’t say much more, just brought up Gu Mengyao at this moment.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingheng couldn’t help but shrink his neck. Then, he didn’t stay there to listen to gossip anymore and left, looking back three times.
After returning to the inn, Gu Qingheng had not yet recovered his senses and still wanted to watch the excitement.
“Alright, stop watching! This bun is for you. After you finish eating it, we’ll have to set off again.”
“Brother-in-law, can I go watch the excitement after I finish the bun!”
“What do you think?”
“I’ll go upstairs to eat buns and wait for news of your departure.”
Gu Yu looked at Gu Qingheng with a half-smile. With just one look, Gu Qingheng obediently spoke and no longer thought about going to watch the excitement.
Excitement is precious, but freedom is even more valuable!
Gu Yu nodded with satisfaction at this moment, then took the buns back to the room. Seeing that Gu Mengyao had already washed up, he immediately swung the buns in his hand.
Indeed, after eating the steaming buns, Gu Yu felt that the buns tasted quite good.
They were also very large. After eating just a few, Gu Yu was full.
However, the remaining buns would not be wasted.
At this time, it was time for the big eater, Yao, to appear.
Looking with a smile as his little wife ate all the remaining buns, Gu Yu couldn’t help but sigh that he had to earn more money to keep his wife full!
At least, it should be half of the income of the capital to be considered enough!
As Gu Yu was thinking about going back to earn money, Gu Mengyao had also finished eating the buns. After stretching comfortably, she felt truly full and satisfied.
The large number of buns she had eaten did not show in Gu Mengyao’s stomach at all. Her stomach might truly connect to another dimension, so she was fine no matter how much she ate.
“Yu, are we leaving?”
“Yes, although we rested well at the inn in town, let’s leave quickly! After reaching the location marked on the treasure map, we can return to the capital.”
Hearing Gu Mengyao’s question, Gu Yu did not hesitate.
Although he liked to enjoy life comfortably, he could endure in certain matters!
For example, the human bone treasure map.
As long as he found the treasure marked inside, Gu Yu figured that nothing else would bother him in the near future, and he could rest fully.
Even if Gu Mengyao went to the military camp, Gu Yu would not have to camp outdoors like this, which he could accept.
After all, his position in the military camp was only that of a doctor.
He could be lazy.
“Since that’s the case, let’s set off!”
Hearing Gu Yu’s reply, Gu Mengyao smiled. Then, without delaying, after a simple pack-up, the three of them immediately set off and continued to walk forward.
However, unlike camping outdoors before, these days of travel allowed them to see small towns.
Staying comfortably in inns made the three of them energetic and no longer exhausted from traveling.
“Steward Wang’s daughter is dead, do you know!”
“What, dead! Such a beautiful young lady, I saw her out shopping yesterday, how could she suddenly die!”
“I don’t know why, but I heard that she died very tragically! Her whole face was bloody and mangled. Steward Wang invited a master to perform a ritual, but the master directly said that Steward Wang’s daughter died bizarrely and could not be kept at home! Otherwise, it would lead to financial ruin at best, and harm the family’s lives at worst.”
This day, as Gu Yu and the other two were eating on the first floor of the inn, the few people at the next table were talking animatedly, making Gu Qingheng’s eyes gleam, wishing he could directly sit at the next table and chat with them.
This made Gu Mengyao shake her head helplessly. She raised her hand to hit her troublesome younger brother a few times, but it was useless, so she stopped caring and continued to eat.
“No way, that’s too scary!”
“Heh heh, the important part is yet to come. After hearing what the master said, Steward Wang naturally didn’t dare to keep his daughter’s corpse at home anymore. After much consideration, he sent his daughter’s corpse to the mortuary… but as soon as it was sent, it disappeared that very night!”
