Chapter 7 Hoyuan Town (Part 2)

Shiyuan, a border town closest to Kuhanzhiling, is the ferret fur produced here that is deeply loved by noble ladies in Shangdu.

To avoid unnecessary disturbance, Mr. Zhou and his group landed in a dense snow forest near the town.

"Let's rest in the town ahead for a night. Kunpeng must be exhausted when flying for so long. The road is still far, so don't rush to rush." ​​Mr. Zhou preached to Kunpeng beside him.

"I am indeed a little tired, so it's good to take a break." Kunpeng stretched his wide wings a little tiredly, and the snowflakes around him suddenly became like galloping swords. Seeing this, Mr. Zhou quickly pulled Ze Yuhui on the side and flashed backwards. At the same time, he waved his hand and a barrier blocked the two of them in an instant.

"You should keep a low profile and become a humanoid person! Friend." Zhou Lao shouted from afar to Kunpeng, who was at the center of the "disaster scene".

The strong wind blew again, and the crooked trees around that were already destroyed were uprooted this time and flew around. After a while, a handsome figure slowly walked towards the two of them from a distance.

Ze Yuhui looked at Kunpeng standing in front of him with a surprised look. He really couldn't tell the man in front of him, wearing white clothes, tied his hair on his head, holding a folding fan, and connecting him with Kunpeng, an ancient beast that was full of fierce and bloodthirsty aura. But all this really happened in front of him. He carefully observed Kunpeng, who had turned into a human form in front of him for a while, and Kunpeng could hardly help asking him: Is it because his clothes were buttoned up? Or was there the vegetable leaves left on his teeth that were not cleaned after eating last time. Ze Yuhui next to him finally showed stars in his eyes, and concluded with great certainty: "Uncle Kunpeng, you are so handsome!"

Kunpeng, who was thinking, heard such simple and rough praise, and actually showed a shy expression and was at a loss for a moment.

"You should not behave like a person! Haha..." Mr. Zhou's thoughtful words, coupled with the laughter that sounded like a lot of thought, immediately attracted Kunpeng's attention. Kunpeng seemed to understand the meaning of Mr. Zhou's brief words and laughter, and his expression suddenly became a little embarrassed.

The intelligent Ze Yuhui soon discovered the subtle changes between the two, so she looked at Kunpeng thoughtfully. When he saw this, Kunpeng's face turned a little red without fear when facing the test of life and death.

"By the way, back then..." Old Zhou said with some jokingness. However, before he could speak, he saw a huge fist rapidly expanding in his pupils. In desperation, Old Zhou could only end his speech and flashed his body to the side.

"What are you two doing? It's inexplicably amazing! I was just talking about being hungry and tired, but now I can still get the strength to do it." Ze Yuhui looked at the two people who had been fighting together speechlessly.

"Ahem...that's it!" Kunpeng took the opportunity to evacuate and fight and responded.

"Yuze, don't you want to hear this very sad story?" Seeing that Kunpeng was unwilling to bother with him, Zhou also wanted to take the opportunity to give him a chance, so he asked Ze Yuhui with some malicious intentions.

Kunpeng, who was standing beside him, suddenly became ashamed and angry when he heard this. He was about to pounce over, but was interrupted by Ze Yuhui's words.

"Brother Zhou, how many times have I corrected you along the way? My name is Ze Yuhui, not Yuze. Are you old and have a bad memory?" Ze Yuhui complained to Mr. Zhou dissatisfied.

"Ah? Haha... OK, okay... Uncle Zhou will change it next time." The panic flashed in Old Zhou's eyes, but it was clearly seen by Kunpeng beside him.

"It's getting late now, so let's hurry up and find an inn in the town in front to have something to rest." Seeing this, Kunpeng was entangled with Mr. Zhou again, so he spoke to change the topic.

"That's great. I have been flying in the sky these days. The food is cold and hard. Uncle Kunpeng, please take me to eat delicious food. This is the first time I have ever entered the land of the outside world. I used to listen to Mr. Zhuang, but now I can finally experience it myself." When Ze Yuhui heard that she was going to eat, she suddenly felt energetic. She didn't care about Mr. Zhou beside her, and pulled Kunpeng and ran to the town ahead.

"After all, it's the child's nature, but the world outside has changed a lot. How long can he be happy..." Looking at Kunpeng and Ze Yuhui who were gradually moving away, Old Zhou said to himself, and then followed closely.

The three of them walked on the vast streets of the town for a long time, but they didn't even see a single figure. The shops on both sides of the street were all closed. The three of them knocked on the doors of several inns in a row. Either no one replied or the words "This store was suspended" were heard from the inside. When they wanted to continue asking questions, there was no movement from the inside. If it weren't for Mr. Zhou's obstruction, Kunpeng would have been impatient and arrested to ask what was going on.

"Some houses are obviously people, but everyone stays away from home, and these shops and inns are not even doing business. Uncle Zhou, what's going on?" After asking people again, the successive blows made Ze Yuhui lose the enthusiasm of the first arrival in the town. He now asked Mr. Zhou, who was frowning on the side in frustration.

Mr. Zhou was also full of confusion, but he did not respond to Ze Yuhui's question immediately, but stopped moving forward and slowly looked around.

"Shiyuan, I lived in this small town for a while in the early years. It used to be quite lively and noisy, but now in a flash, it feels like things have changed. "Old Mr. Zhou preached to the two people standing beside him with some melancholy.

When Kunpeng heard this, he looked at Mr. Zhou with an inquiring expression, but he ignored it.

"So you have been here before, Uncle Zhou. Did you look like you are now when you came? After walking for so long, let alone staying in a restaurant and having dinner, you can't even see it." Ze Yuhui said with some dissatisfaction.

"Yes, this pig land should be the largest town a hundred miles away from the Kuhan Territory. It should be very lively, but why is it so deserted now? What happened that made the only people in this town stay closed?" Kunpeng said in confusion. However, there was something he didn't say: when he just walked into the town, he suddenly felt like he was being monitored.

"The situation is indeed wrong. Even if the Song Dynasty has been in a state of war in recent years, it is impossible to recruit the elderly, children and women in the entire town to send them to the battlefield. Besides, it is still so remote here." Mr. Zhou said in confusion.

The three of them looked at each other and were all confused.

After a moment.

"You go with me to find someone to ask." Mr. Zhou suddenly said.

After hearing Mr. Zhou's words suddenly, Ze Yuhui and Kunpeng were surprised and looked at him half-believingly. Since entering this town, they have never met a person on the street. Although some shops responded in a word, they would never break into the door and force others.

"You just follow me." Seeing the two of them in such a demeanor, Mr. Zhou quickly walked forward without saying anything.

Seeing this, Kunpeng pulled Ze Yuhui, who was beside him, and followed him. Mr. Zhou walked along the street for a long time, and finally stopped under a dilapidated door sign, which read "Shiyuan Pharmaceutical Shop". The medicine shop looked a little old and a little shabby.

"Brother Zhou, we have been walking for so long, why are we doing in front of this old pharmacy that has not been opened?" Ze Yuhui looked at Mr. Zhou with an unexpected look on his face. He thought Mr. Zhou would take him to a crowded and lively place, but after walking for so long, he was still so deserted.

"I had a little injury in Kuhanzhi a few years ago, and by chance I met the owner of this pharmacy. I wonder if he is still alive after so many years." Mr. Zhou explained.

"So that's the case. Then I knock on the door to see if someone is inside." Ze Yuhui said that, and then went up to knock on the door.

Kunpeng looked at Mr. Zhou with curious eyes, as if asking him: Will you actually be injured?

"Although this bitter and cold neck is not as sinister as the South Sea of ​​Mid, over the past tens of millions of years, I don't know how many powerful things exist, so it's normal for me to get hurt." Mr. Zhou understood the intention of Kunpeng's eyes and explained.

“Is it just as simple as you said?”

"Is anyone here?...Is anyone here?..." At this time, Ze Yuhui's knock on the door and inquiring interrupted the conversation between the two.

Ze Yuhui knocked for a long time, but no one responded.

"Brother Zhou, there seems to be no one inside."

"There is someone inside, let me do it."

Mr. Zhou signaled Ze Yuhui to stand aside, but did not see him knocking on the door, but asked directly: "May I ask, is Senior Ge here?"

Although no one answered in the house, there was a loud sound.

"Senior Ge, I am Zhuang Zhou. Do you still remember me?" Mr. Zhou continued.
