Yuan Xiang took the last string of candied haws bamboo sticks and handed it to the empty place, the string of red candied haws suddenly disappeared out of thin air.
The peddler rubbed his eyes, suspecting that he was wrong.
The little lady turned around with a smile and settled the account with him.
“It must be a mistake. How could it suddenly disappear?” The seller thought.
He didn’t know that behind him, there was always a demon in a robe with a catfish head.
The demon’s pale arm caught the candied fruit that Yuan Xiang handed him and after looking at it carefully for a long time, he raised his head and opened his mouth, threw the whole candied haws into his mouth together with the bamboo stick and swallowed it swiftly.
“There is strong wind,” as Yuan Xiang and her party continued to move forward, a voice suddenly came from behind.
“It’s not suitable to travel on windy days,” said the demon with the catfish head.
Yuan Xiang turned back, smiled and waved at him, “I know, thank you.”
After listening to the catfish spirit’s advice, everyone did not continue on their way and looked for an inn in the town to stay.
In the afternoon, yellow sand was rolled on the flat ground and there was a strong wind. The sand was charming and the road was difficult.
The people in the town were holding spiritual activities, putting the statues in the temples on red brocade and walking along the street. The holy statue of the Three Kings was revered throughout the world, with many followers. All the way, the gongs and drums were soaring, the flags were so obvious, the believers along the way burned incense, bowed down and prayed for blessings.
Yuan Xiang opened the little window from the second floor of the inn and looked at the situation on the street through the gap.
“Humans are so afraid of spirits.” Wu Yuan squatted on her shoulder and licked his paws, removing the sand from them, “Why are humans not afraid of them when they consider them Gods?”
“Are Gods also spirits?”
Yuan Xiang heard this argument for the first time.
“Anyway, they are powerful spirits, why are they considered Gods?”
“Perhaps the power of those Gods had reached a height unattainable by humans, so people only worship and fear them.”
On the sedan chair, the tall and gleaming statue of God, with low eyebrows and kind eyes, looked at the world and the red silk and golden brocade flying in the yellow sand. The believers along the way leaned on both sides of the road, the wind and sand could not stop them from bowing their heads and praying for blessing.
Yuan Xiang suddenly remembered the dilapidated mountain temple she saw in the mountains. She remembered the pale skinned apostle who lost his freedom. It seems that she saw him being taken by chains, dragged out of the temple and wandering in the human village.
The humans he had helped and loved, after he showed his prototype and lost the power to resist, showed a hate expression, cursed and threw stones at him.
Dushuo should have been completely disappointed with creatures like humans.
The hurricane was getting bigger, the sky was covered with yellow sand and the wind roared making the inn’s doors and windows creaked.
The wine shop was filled with merchants who were held back by the wind and sand. Those merchants from all over the world drank, talked and exchanged information about the journey. There were even Orchid dancers, singing and dancing.
Yuan Xiang and others sat in the elegant room of the attic. Because they were not going to stay at night, they drank a few jars of wine and ordered two tables of local specialties.
“Who knew that the weather which was so good in the morning will change and such a big sandstorm will come out of thin air. I’m thankful to the little gentleman. Walking on the wasteland with no shops in front of the village and back, it would be a pain.” Zhou Deyun held wine in hand as he said, “Come on, I will toast the little Mr.”
The servants around him nodded and now these people were convinced by this little gentleman.
Yuan Xiang toasted and drank. The wine there was rice wine, sweet, soft in the mouth, making the body warm.
“Axiang, I will also toast you a glass.” Qiu Yueming stood up holding the glass and said solemnly, “I won’t say anything more about it. No matter what the result of this trip, your kindness will be remembered in my heart.”
Yuan Xiang had a drink with him and said with a smile, “You don’t need to be so polite among friends.”
While drinking happily, the chattering voices of the drinkers in the lobby downstairs came up.
“Thanks to General Qiu this time, otherwise the old man would not be alive to meet the old brother.” A man with a northern accent spoke loudly, “If it didn’t happen that General Qiu Yueming was recovering in Datong Mansion, Hu Ren this time was bound to break through and I’m afraid that Datong Datong Mansion would have been already a hell on earth, a dead city.”
His companion replied, “General Qiu is really worthy, may God bless him.”
As soon as ‘General Qiu’ was out, the people in the room upstairs immediately raised their ears and looked down at the atrium.
Among them, Qiu Yueming himself was the most nervous.
Along the way, he seemed calm, but he was really uneasy, worried that Zhou Niangzi’s soul was indeed in his body. With the weak soul of a woman, when she suddenly awakens in the army tent surrounded by wolves and tigers, would there be anything out of control? He was also worried that Zhou Niangzi’s soul hadn’t been exchanged with him at all and his body had already turned into bones, buried under the loess.
At this moment, he suddenly heard someone mentioning his name, Qiu Yueming’s heart suddenly twitched, holding on to the railing of the attic, he stretched his head to look downstairs.
Drinking were two elderly men dressed as merchants. One of them had white hair and a beard. After drinking a few sips of wine, speaking of happiness, they couldn’t help but talk about the thrilling battle he experienced in Datong Mansion before the New Year.
