Chapter 293 The Farmer and the Snake

A few days later, Yu Xiaogang woke up in a strange room.

He knew the style of the Spirit Hall very well. He was still a fugitive, and the Spirit Hall would definitely offer a reward for his capture.

When he lifted the quilt, the clothes that were so smelly that it was hard to describe had been replaced with a simple robe that fit him well.

Without time to think about it, Yu Xiaogang looked around vigilantly.

The furnishings in the room were very simple. In addition to a simple bed, there was only a chair with a "leg" missing.

Looking at the half-closed window, Yu Xiaogang carefully stuck his head out.

Outside the room was a small courtyard. It was dinner time, and an old woman was making a fire to cook.

"Old man, change your clothes and eat." The old woman shouted loudly.

Yu Xiaogang looked outside the fence of the small courtyard, and an old man with dirty clothes and a shoulder pole on his shoulder walked in slowly.

The old man was about sixty years old, with a big bucket hanging on each end of the pole on his shoulders. Judging from his appearance, Yu Xiaogang understood that he should be a dung carrier.

"Old woman, has the man from the palace woken up?"

"Ah? I don't know. He had a high fever these days. When I went to see him this morning, his fever had subsided. He should be waking up soon. I'll go and see him."

Yu Xiaogang knew that the man they were talking about was him.

But, the man from the palace? What the hell is this?

But he, Yu Xiaogang, is a soul master after all, how could he be afraid of these two ordinary people.

He immediately walked out of the room, put his hands behind his back, raised his head and said, "You two, did you save me?"

The old man put down the pole and wiped his hands on the dirty apron in front of him, "My lord, I saw you fainted a few days ago. I reported to the Spirit Hall, and they said that no messenger came to the Spirit City. I don't know the situation, so I can only bring you back first."

Yu Xiaogang looked at his clothes and immediately knew the situation.

He is now a eunuch, and when he changed his clothes, he naturally saw his situation.

However, this old guy reported the situation to the Spirit Hall, and when the Spirit Hall reacted, he would definitely be caught.

"Old sir, has the Spirit Hall sent anyone recently?" he asked hurriedly.

The old man shook his head, "The Spirit Hall didn't pay attention to me. Oh, sir, come and have dinner. Your body has just recovered. If you don't replenish food, your body will definitely be weak in the future."

Yu Xiaogang did not refuse. Since the Spirit Hall did not send anyone, at least he has not been exposed yet.

The old man misunderstood his identity, but he protected him to a certain extent. He didn't know the situation around here, so he had to ask about it.

There was only a simple fried radish on the table.

"Sir, I only have these radishes."

"Haha, it doesn't matter. When in Rome, do as the Romans do." Yu Xiaogang behaved approachably.

"By the way, I want to ask, are you the only family around here?"

The old man replied: "Decades ago, there was a village at the foot of the mountain called Gujia Village. Later, the twin brothers in the village became genius soul masters, and the whole village moved to the resettlement site near Wuhun City. Our family did not move with them. Later, my son awakened his soul power and joined the Wuhun Hall."

Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang became alert, "Then your son has never come back?"

The old man sighed and said, "More than ten years ago, my son followed His Holiness the Pope to fight and died on the battlefield. The Wuhun Hall later gave us some pensions and invited us to move to the resettlement area. Hey~ This is where I, an old man, have lived for generations, and I don't want to leave, so I have been living here."

Yu Xiaogang quickly grasped the key point in the other party's words-pension.

He is now penniless, and it is unrealistic to want to return to Shrek Academy.

As for the soul master subsidy of the Wuhun Hall, he doesn't have the courage to collect it.

After a silence, Yu Xiaogang said, "Old sir, I came from the Tiandou Empire. I encountered thieves on the road, and that's why I'm in this state now. Do you know how to get to Tiandou City from here?"

The old man shook his head, "Sir, I've never left here in my life. How can I know Tiandou City? However, if you keep going forward from the road ahead, you will see the official road. If you ask there, you should be able to know the way to Tiandou City."

After a pause, he said, "Sir, why don't you go to the Spirit Hall. They should send someone to escort you back to the palace."

Palace! Yu Xiaogang was immediately displeased.

It was his secret that he became a eunuch. The old man in front of him not only saw his secret, but also laughed at him. How could he bear it!

"Han Yu, Bibi Dong, Spirit Hall, you are the ones who made me like this. I, Yu Xiaogang, swear that I will definitely break through the Spirit City in this life and take your dog head, Han Yu!" Yu Xiaogang shouted in his heart.

"Sir, the old man is right. The Spirit Hall usually sends people to help us. Last time, the old man broke his leg, and it was the sir sent by the Spirit Hall who healed him." The old woman looked towards the direction of the Spirit City with gratitude.

Yu Xiaogang had a grudge against the Spirit Hall, and this old couple actually thanked the Spirit Hall. How could he bear it?

He didn't say anything, but in his heart, Yu Xiaogang had already sentenced them to death.

After the meal, Yu Xiaogang pretended to have something important to do and needed to rush back to Tiandou City as soon as possible.

Before leaving, the old man took out three gold soul coins from his trouser pocket and handed them to him, "Sir, this money is for your return to Tiandou City. I hope it can help you."

Looking at the golden gold soul coins, Yu Xiaogang was more convinced that the old man still had a lot of pensions in his hands.

"Thank you very much. If I come to Wuhun City for business next time, I will definitely give you a thank you gift."

After that, Yu Xiaogang ran out quickly.

The old man didn't care about his thank you gift, but reminded him to be careful on the road.

...

Yu Xiaogang didn't actually leave here.

There was only one way for the old man's family to go down the mountain. Yu Xiaogang took the opportunity to ambush on the road. While the old man was going down the mountain, he relied on Luo Sanpao's fart to successfully send the old man away.

After searching the old man for a while, he didn't find any extra money.

Then, he aimed his eyes at the old man's house, "The money must be hidden at home. Humph, if you want to blame someone, blame you for being willing to become a dog of the Spirit Hall!"

Besides, this family knew his whereabouts. Once the Spirit Hall investigates, he will be exposed immediately.

Yu Xiaogang disguised himself and went up the mountain, and the old woman was soon killed by him.

Killing his savior, Yu Xiaogang did not feel guilty or uneasy, but instead felt a little happy.

As a soul master, he has been bullied by stronger people for many years. Now that he has killed two old men who have no power to fight back, he feels very comfortable.

He even gave a victory speech, "Soul masters are not something that ordinary people like you can shake!"

Next, he searched the old man's house for a while, but did not find any money.

How could he know that the old man did not receive the pension back then. And these three gold soul coins were borrowed by the old man from the Spirit Hall as travel expenses for his return trip.
