The meat soup mother-in-law is just a small episode on the way forward. In fact, most of the days on the road are boring.
After all, there are not many customers who are worthy of selling like Granny Broth, or who can afford the medical bills.

More than ten days later...
"Master, master, I'm so hungry, so hungry, my stomach is so hungry..."
Piao Piao tugged at Luo Yan's sleeves, looking aggrieved.
She has been starving these past few days. Since that full meal, the poor little spider has gone back to the days of starving for nine meals in three days...
I can’t get enough of all the potions and stuff!
Luo Yan chewed on the big bone stick while teaching his cute little pet:
"Young people, you should restrain your appetite. Eating too much is not good for your health, you know? In the past, a friend of mine overeated, often eating to the point where he couldn't even turn over. I tried to persuade him, but he still didn't listen. You know?
Do you know what happened to him?"
Overeating, eating so hard that you can’t even turn over?
Piaopiao was surprised, isn't that just like me?
So, she cautiously and tentatively asked: "He...what's wrong with him?"
Luo Yan took a big bite of meat and sighed softly while chewing, with a hint of sadness in his tone.
"He gained weight."
"..."
The moment I heard this answer, my heart skipped a beat.
She was tired and just wanted to kill Luo Yan, or be killed by Luo Yan...
Ahhhhh! What kind of broken master is this! Can you change it to a normal one?!
If you don’t give me food, you won’t give me food! Why are you still torturing me mentally?!
Luo Yan smiled and touched Piao Piao's little head.
"Okay, okay, I know you have a big appetite, so it doesn't matter. We will leave the desert soon. According to the map the teacher gave me, we can reach the City of the Holy Hand by walking another thirty kilometers north. When the time comes, I'll ask you
You have a feast!”
Piaopiao's eyes immediately lit up.
"Really? Yeah!"
Luo Yan pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and took out the map from the system space with a smile.
This map is very delicate and well-maintained. There are many magical lines faintly engraved on it... At first glance, it is the handwriting of the teacher.
Only my dear teacher farts like a little goat, which is both foreign and sassy.
Luo Yan carefully unfolded the map and studied the direction carefully.
He wore glasses and observed carefully, not missing any corner on the map.
"Well... move forward, then finish, then..."
Piaopiao put her little head over curiously and looked at the map with her owner.
"Huh?"
The little spider realized something was wrong.
She rubbed her eyes in confusion and looked again.
This sight made her scream in surprise:
"Master! You are holding the map backwards! You are holding the map backwards!!! We are going backwards!"
This surprise was no small matter. They had been marching for nearly twenty days and were about to arrive, but they actually took the map backwards?!
Thinking about this journey of sleeping and sleeping in the open air, starving for nine meals in three days, and that I might have to go through it again soon, Piao Piao felt so sad that she wanted to cry.
Luo Yan was also startled and quickly turned the map over to study it carefully.
You wouldn't know it by looking at it, but at first glance, you can see that they actually went in the opposite direction.
"Oh my God! We are really going the wrong way!"
"Then, what should we do?"
Piao Piao's eyes were red, and she grabbed Luo Yan's sleeves, her big eyes filled with grievances.
Woohoo...I don't want to be hungry anymore...
Luo Yan also felt a headache.
Just as we were about to arrive, something unexpected like this happened. Alas, it’s really not as good as God.
Originally, the map went north, south, left, west, right and east, and the City of the Holy Hand was south of the pharmacy. However, he took the map upside down and the two of them walked north.
The alchemist may have believed so much in his apprentice's intelligence that he didn't even set a direction sign...
Wait, is there a possibility that he did this on purpose, just to make Luo Yan go around a few more times and get lost, so that he can go back later?
Good intentions, alchemist!
"this……"
Luo Yan rubbed the center of his eyebrows.
"You can't blame me for this. I can only say that God's will cannot be violated."
He sighed, feeling that he had been ruthlessly mocked by fate.
Piaopiao was so anxious that she stamped her feet.
Return it to God's will! God's will, you are so big! You held the map upside down and return it to God's will!
The two looked at each other in silence.
After a long time, Luo Yan sighed.
"It's so outrageous. The south and north are so similar. The scenery matches each other along the way, so I never noticed it."
Hearing this, Piaopiao suddenly felt that something was wrong.
She leaned her little head over again and carefully observed the map and her location.
"No, that's not right. Why is it that the terrain here is exactly the same as what is marked on the map even though we are walking in the opposite direction?"
Piaopiao was confused and looked up at the sky.
I was supposed to go south, but ended up going north...but...
An idea suddenly popped into Little Spider's mind.
"Master, master, how do you identify the direction?"
Luo Yan pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and raised his head proudly.
"How else can I tell? Of course... I guess! There is no sun rising in the east and setting in the west in the dark world, so I can only rely on intuition!"
Piaopiao: "..."
Although the sun does not rise in the east and set in the west, there are still many ways to identify directions in the dark world, such as magic, for example, a compass made by alchemy...
Relying on intuition to identify... is not impossible, after all, there is a 1/4 success rate.
The little spider murmured: "Is it possible, is it possible, that you guessed the north-south direction wrongly?"
Luo Yan was silent for a moment, and the two of them looked at each other.
Luo Yan suddenly raised his head and laughed so loudly that he couldn't help but put his hands on his hips.
"Hahahahahaha! I'm such a genius! I already knew that I would read the map backwards, so I guessed the wrong direction in advance! Hahahahaha! Be good, master, isn't it great?!"
Piaopiao: "..."
╯﹏╰
It's really shameful to have such a master... Can you change it to another one?
It's so disgusting to say...
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the achievement: Cat looking for eyeballs. When a blind cat encounters a dead mouse due to good luck, there is a chance of obtaining this achievement. If you obtain this achievement, it means that although you have a low IQ, you are lucky.
Excellent, it is said that fools are blessed."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the achievement reward: luck +1, free attribute point*1."
Hearing the sound of the system, Luo Yan curled his lips in disdain.
This dog system has been jealous of his wit for more than a day or two, he has long been used to it.
Oh, no matter how jealous you are, you will never have my IQ!
This is talent!
system:"……"
The system really wants to send another shameless achievement to Luo Yan!
According to the map instructions, there was a small village in front of the two of them. That village was close to the City of Holy Hands and there were many professional doctors living in it.
"Let's go! Let's go to Canshou Village first!"
Luo Yan waved his hand, held his head high and strode forward.
The village next to the City of Holy Hand is called Can Hand Village... Is there any strange connection between the two?
And the doctors there, I really can’t wait to have academic exchanges with them!
