Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 63 The troops are divided into two groups
"How did these people get in?" Qin Feng pulled Wei Xi's ear and asked, "Didn't anyone stop them?"

Wei Xi counted the heads, nine people, not one missing. As soon as she finished counting, she saw Lian Gouye thrust the dagger into Qin Feng's hand.

"You hold it, I'll follow them."

"Aren't you bringing a knife?" Qin Feng asked. Lian Gou shook his hand, and Wei Xi and Qin Feng could clearly see the blade between the boy's fingers.

Lian Gouqie crawled into the wall and followed the group of suspicious-looking Hu people.

"Let's go," Wei Xi whispered, "We can do this on both fronts."

Wei Xi was confident in Lian Gou Xie, after all, his skill in painting was something that not everyone could conceive of.

Whether Wei Xi or Qin Feng went, they might be recognized, so they naturally couldn't alert the enemy.

Qin Feng acted arrogantly and dragged Wei Xi to find a table in the restaurant to sit down.

The restaurant was not far from the inn where they were staying, and it was also deserted. If there hadn't been a table with bowls still on it, they might have moved to another place.

The waiter dozed off leaning against the counter, and Qin Feng slammed the counter to wake him up.

"Sir," the waiter's gaze shifted from Qin Feng to the dramatic Wei Xi, "would you like to see the dishes?"

Qin Feng looked unhappy as he took Wei Xi a few steps to the middle of the restaurant and chose a table that was not too dirty to sit down. The waiter following them smiled along - just kidding, this guy was wearing a Taoist robe!
"You guys are so busy here, you still have to invite guests." Qin Feng glanced at the dishes hanging on the wall and pointed at two at random. "I really don't know why the master sent me here."

The waiter quickly apologized to Qin Feng, "Master, you're joking. How busy can our little shop be? It's just that the town has been busy with the river sacrifice recently. I helped with the sacrifice all night last night, so I took a nap. Please don't mind!"

"You're in this state now. Can your chef still cook?"

Qin Feng was about to leave when the waiter hurriedly explained, "Of course my uncle can do it. How could he get involved in the river sacrifice? He slept well last night and is in high spirits now!"

Wei Xi's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Then we'll have these dishes. The extra ones are yours!" Qin Feng took out a small piece of silver. The waiter smiled and immediately replied, "My uncle's cooking is the best in Tangkou Town! Immortal Master, please wait a moment!"

"Wait a minute," Qin Feng continued to extract information from the waiter, "Is there a clinic in your town?"

"Master, what does the Immortal Master want to do at the clinic?" the waiter asked in confusion.

Qin Feng nudged Wei Xi with his arm and said, "My junior fellow apprentice brought this girl back and now he's leaving her to me. She's mute, and I want to find a clinic to see her."

Qin Feng and Wei Xi both remembered their own personalities and always showed the disunity among the three of them to the townspeople of Tangkou Town.

The waiter glanced at Wei Xi, who had a very low presence. Seeing her completely different temperament from Qin Feng, he thought to himself, "No wonder," "The Immortal Master is kind-hearted, but the original clinic in town has long been closed. This..." The waiter paused, "The girl's problem probably needs to be treated in a clinic outside Tangkou Town."

Wei Xi gently kicked Qin Feng, and Qin Feng understood, "There's no clinic in town? What should we do if a mortal gets sick?"

The waiter chuckled, "Master, you don't know about our Tangkou Town," he lowered his voice, "People in Tangkou Town never get sick, it's all because of the blessing of the Huan River!"

"What? The Huan River can protect you from getting sick?" Qin Feng said in disbelief. "There are many towns and villages around the Huan River, why is it so strange here?"

"They don't offer sacrifices to the river like we do in Tangkou Town!" The waiter said proudly, "Only if we offer sacrifices sincerely will the river bless us."

Qin Feng was still thinking about going to the Huan River embankment to take a look. "Then there's no need to find a clinic. I'll bring her with you to offer sacrifices to the river. If she gets better, it won't be considered a lie!" The waiter groaned twice, "Master, you can't do this. River sacrifices are not for outsiders to participate! Because of this taboo, we haven't allowed outsiders to enter the town a few days before the river sacrifice in recent years!"

Qin Feng originally planned to continue to make trouble, but Wei Xi kicked her again, so she had to let it go and continue to inquire about other things.

"Alright, I won't make things difficult for you. It's just that County Magistrate Cheng told us to stay in town for a while. Seeing you like this, we've become a burden instead."

Hearing the words "Cheng County Magistrate", the waiter's expression immediately changed. "Master, this is truly the rule of this town. Please don't tell Cheng County Magistrate that I'm a nagging person, or I'll be punished!"

"I don't think County Magistrate Cheng is the stingy person you say he is," Qin Feng said without hesitation, accusing the waiter. "Why, did you offend County Magistrate Cheng?"

"Look at my mouth!" The waiter immediately smacked his lips. "Cheng County Magistrate is naturally a good man. He has been the county magistrate of our Tangkou Town for ten years. In the past few years, the county magistrate has been changing all the time, and the town has relied entirely on Cheng County Magistrate to manage it. Oh, and the river sacrifice is also handled by Cheng County Magistrate."

Now Wei Xi wasn't the only one who smelled the fishy smell. Qin Feng's eyes rolled as he asked, "County Magistrate Cheng looks about forty, right? Can he handle something as important as the river sacrifice?"

"Master, aren't you also a young and promising person?" Qin Feng's face twisted when he heard these words and thought of County Magistrate Cheng's plum-like face.

The waiter, still thinking he was flattering the boss, continued, "County Magistrate Cheng was originally an apprentice at Doctor Li's clinic, but he just couldn't get into medicine. Fortunately, he could read a few words, so he found a job at the county government office. A few years later, we couldn't find any gold here, so County Magistrate Cheng came up with a plan: offering sacrifices to the river."

"You're right, after throwing the sacrifice down, we were able to pan for gold again. County Magistrate Cheng also got his position as County Magistrate because of this."

The waiter was about to go to the kitchen after saying this. Qin Feng didn't need Wei Xi to kick her again, and immediately asked, "Since Jihe can't go, is Doctor Li still in your town?"

"Yes, if the Immortal Master wants to take this girl to see a doctor, then we have to go to Huaishu Lane. He lives there."

Seeing that Qin Feng had no other instructions, the waiter ran to the kitchen to ask for food.

The two of them ate their meal with their hearts full of thoughts, and then strolled on the street for a while. They saw that although there were more people, the street was still not busy.

Wei and Qin did not gain anything else and did not find the Lian Gou Xie, so they returned to the inn.

As soon as he entered the door, Lingyin came out and found a place to sulk - he had been stuffed into clothes all the time these days, and his feathers were always messy.

"This is too weird!" Qin Feng threw a clear note, "This town is weird, and Cheng is weird too!"

Wei Xi washed her hands and face and was cleaning the stains on her neck.

"Why don't we go find Doctor Li?" Qin Feng asked Wei Xi.

"It would be too conspicuous to go now," Wei Xi replied. "Besides, Lian Gouyu hasn't come back yet. We can make plans after he comes back."

Speaking of Lian Gouwei acting alone, Qin Feng couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Lian Gouyu's skills are not outstanding (compared to Qin Feng), nor is he a cultivator. If he is captured by those barbarians, Wei Xi and he will have to find a way to rescue him.

Fortunately, Lian Gouqie returned soon. He closed the door and his first words were, "There's something wrong with County Magistrate Cheng!"
