Chapter 32 Eating, Eating Two Servings
After walking for such a long time, the towns they passed were very dilapidated.
Not only were the food and accommodation unsatisfactory, but they were also much better than camping outdoors.
Gu Qingheng requested this exploration himself, so no matter how harsh the accommodation conditions were, he couldn’t complain too much.
For example, eating food made from various wild vegetables, Gu Qingheng felt like he was about to turn into an herbivore.
However, the small town they lodged in today only had a few dozen people, and supplies were very scarce.
They had to wait until the Lunar New Year to eat meat.
Even though Gu Yu had plenty of silver, the people here didn’t care, choosing only to barter.
And the place they slept this time wasn’t even an inn, but a dilapidated house that was no longer inhabited.
Gu Yu exchanged a piece of silver for accommodation and food, which was very simply provided. If it were elsewhere, it would have been very worthless.
“Brother-in-law, do you have any more dried meat!”
After eating a bellyful of grass, while Yi Dianhong and the other two went to sleep in other rooms, Gu Qingheng quickly went to Gu Yu’s side and then quietly asked for food.
When traveling, Gu Qingheng didn’t dare to eat dried meat for fear of being discovered by Yi Dianhong and the other two.
So, he could only secretly make a special meal.
“I have other meat here, do you want some?”
Seeing his younger brother-in-law looking skinny and sallow from hunger, Gu Yu felt a pang of heartache… Of course, he and Gu Mengyao had secretly eaten a lot, so they were naturally different from the other few.
Although Gu Mengyao wanted to let her younger brother have a bite, there were other people present, so she couldn’t let Gu Yu expose the secret of the space.
And Gu Qingheng was so foolish that if Gu Yu didn’t give it to him, wouldn’t he come and ask for it himself!
He had to wait until now, when he couldn’t stand the hunger anymore, to come over, which Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao had never expected.
“No, it’s too strong-smelling. It would be bad if it attracted Yi Dianhong and the other three. Give me the dried meat!”
Hearing Gu Yu’s words, Gu Qingheng thought for a moment and shook his head.
He didn’t know what was going on in this broken place. Not only were there very few livestock in the town, but there were also no wild animals to be seen at all.
Even Kuang Ba Dao Ke, a rough man who loved meat, had been eating grass for the past few days and was drooling at the fat worms on the ground, almost thinking they were crispy chicken.
However, after Yi Dianhong stepped on one, and the ground was covered with yellow and green liquid, the Dao Ke stopped the thought of eating worms.
“Alright, this is **pork jerky. Eat it here before you go.”
“Heh heh, thank you, brother-in-law. Brother-in-law is so good!”
“It’s nothing, eat, eat two servings.”
“Brother-in-law, I think… I can eat ten servings!”
“…”
After a burst of laughter and joking, Gu Qingheng patted his full belly and left, preparing to get a good night’s sleep.
In the previous few days, after eating grass for several days in a row, Gu Qingheng couldn’t even sleep well.
Today he finally got to eat meat, which made him incredibly happy!
And when Gu Yu saw Gu Qingheng patting his belly and leaving, his expression was one of mixed amusement and helplessness. He thought that it had only been a short time since he hadn’t eaten meat, and his younger brother-in-law was really starved!
With that thought, Gu Yu took a bite of the osmanthus wine sticky rice balls, the full, fresh meat juice bursting in his mouth, making Gu Yu satisfied as he ate the meatballs.
“We’re going to start fighting tomorrow, but the Tianjue Organization might launch a sneak attack tonight. It seems like it’s my turn to appear!”
While eating meatballs, Gu Yu muttered to himself, then, after finishing the meatballs on the plate, he got up and left the room.
He also changed into night-traveling clothes.
“Yu, won’t it be too dangerous for you to go alone!”
Just as Gu Yu was about to slip out the back door, Gu Mengyao suddenly appeared in front of him, her face filled with worry, afraid that Gu Yu would encounter danger.
After all, Gu Yu knew no martial arts.
Even if his medical skills and poison techniques were outstanding, if he encountered swords, he would be no different from an ordinary person.
This was precisely why Gu Mengyao was worried, fearing that Gu Yu would be harmed outside.
“Don’t worry, I won’t be hurt!”
“How about I go with you!”
“No, if we want to interfere, the Tianjue Organization won’t have thought of that, so they will definitely send people to watch this side… If Mengyao is here, the other party will be more at ease, and they will continue to deal with the death warriors according to the plan! As for me, an ordinary person who only knows how to use poison, they won’t take me seriously, because to use poison, you also need an opportunity to spread it. They are certain that I wouldn’t dare to go out.”
Hearing Gu Mengyao wanting to go out with him, Gu Yu quickly shook his head, telling Gu Mengyao to wait here with peace of mind.
When he learned that the Tianjue Organization and the death warriors were preparing to attack them, Gu Yu began to speculate about what would happen next.
And in his speculation, the Tianjue Organization definitely wouldn’t let the death warriors make a move, but would wait until they found the location of the treasure.
In other words… if the Tianjue Organization was powerful, Gu Yu and the others wouldn’t have to worry about fighting the death warriors.
The Tianjue Organization would directly wipe out the death warriors.
However, Gu Yu never placed his hopes on others. Moreover, if these two sides fought, it would be a good time to attack.
Tonight is the night for the Tianjue Organization and the death warriors to bring about their own destruction!
The Tianjue Organization thought that Gu Yu was just an ordinary person who used poison, and if they wanted to poison them, they would definitely let Gu Mengyao take him away from their residence.
However, the other party underestimated Gu Yu’s ability.
Just dealing with the people from these two sides didn’t require Gu Mengyao to make a move; he alone could handle it.
It’s just that he would have to ride a bird to leave, which made Gu Yu a little nervous.
He had never ridden a bird in his life.
Moreover, there wasn’t such a huge bird for him to ride… but, Zha Zha, who was hopping around next to him, was the best mount.
Because of the special nature of tonight, Gu Yu worried that as soon as Zha Zha appeared, its golden light would hang in the sky like a small sun, attracting countless onlookers… so he had asked Zha Zha in advance.
After learning that Zha Zha’s feathers wouldn’t emit light at night, Gu Yu confidently prepared his plan.
With Zha Zha’s flying ability, Gu Yu felt that he would be able to dominate the scene, and all the people from the Tianjue Organization and the dispatched death warriors would be brought down by him!
“Wait for my good news.”
Reaching out to stroke Gu Mengyao’s head, Zha Zha beside Gu Yu directly enlarged its body, making it possible for anyone to jump on it without any problem. It then carried Gu Yu and flew towards the distance.
Watching Gu Yu leave, Gu Mengyao sighed, and then could only choose to believe that Gu Yu would come back safely.
If Gu Yu was injured anywhere, Gu Mengyao would not allow there to be a next time.
