"Teacher, where are we now?" Li Yan who was accompanying us asked on the way.
"Not far ahead is Philadelphia! Although it's still early, I'm afraid it's too late to get to the next town. Let's just stay in Philadelphia for one night." Xie Xin looked at the sky and said to his disciples
announced.
"Long live!" The disciples have been traveling for days and are very tired now. It is rare that they don't have to camp in the wild, so they are naturally the happiest.
Seeing the city in front of them, the group of people hurried on a lot faster.
But when they entered the city, they were frightened by the scene in front of them.
The entire city looks like a ghost town. At first glance, it seems that there are few people walking on the streets. And among those who are still walking, many of them are actually tourists passing by Xie Xin and his group.
As for a very small number of people, they looked like they were aboriginals, but their faces were dull and yellow, and they looked like they didn't have much time left.
"What happened here?!" Xie Xin looked at the scene in front of him in stunned silence.
"Just ask someone!" Li Yan suggested.
"Okay, let's go back quickly. Let's go find an inn to stay first!" Xie Xin nodded.
"Okay!" Li Yan smiled, dismounted and ran out immediately.
Xie Xin knew that this would take some time, so he took other students and wandered around the city.
After a while, I finally found a small shop called Laifu Inn.
"Hey, ladies and gentlemen, do you want to pay a premium or stay overnight?" When the waiter saw Xie Xin and his entourage arriving, his expression was like that of a lottery player who won a special prize.
"Dajian, I'm going to stay here for one night. Is there any room available?" Xie Xin asked casually.
"Yes, that's great! Now the entire inn is just for a few guests to stay. There are as many guest rooms as you want!" The waiter was so excited that he was a little incoherent.
"Haha, that means there is no one else but us?" Xie Xin teased.
"The food and guest rooms in the shop are absolutely first-class. In the past, no customer would say they were good. But the world is different now. No matter how good the food is, no one will use it!" When it came to the key point, the waiter also seemed to be talking about it.
A little frustrated.
"What happened?" Xie Xin asked casually.
"It sounds like the accents of some of the guests are from Nanyang? Nanyang is considered a bit far away, so I don't know what's strange about it..." The waiter smiled and said something perfunctory, but he didn't intend to tell the truth.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it! I've come all the way here and I'm hungry. If you have any good food or drinks, just bring them over and fill them up before I wait!" Xie Xin didn't mind and gave the order directly.
I just didn't expect that such an ordinary sentence would put the waiter in trouble again.
"Sir, you have also seen that the business of the shop has not been very good recently, so the food reserves are not very large. The only ones left at present are four rabbits and a wild boar, which I finally bought from Orion today.
We arrived. There were quite a lot of vegetables, but the only wine left was some inferior rice wine..." At the end of the sentence, the waiter didn't know how to continue.
"Wait for me!" Xie Xin saw this and walked out helplessly.
When he came to a deserted corner, he immediately took out the ingredients from the space ring.
"Use these ingredients to make some delicious dishes!" Returning to the inn, Xie Xin threw the ingredients to the waiter.
"Okay, I'll go make arrangements!" After getting so many ingredients, the waiter was immediately overwhelmed with joy.
There are so many ingredients that can never be eaten in one meal. But according to Xie Xin, these ingredients are enough for one meal, and the extra ones can naturally be kept by the inn.
With the ingredients, everything was easy to do. In less than a quarter of an hour, various dishes were served one after another, and the table was quickly filled.
During the meal, Li Yan finally came back.
"How's the inquiring going?" Xie Xin asked, sipping the spirit wine.
"The situation is not good. If you don't ask, you won't know. After asking, you will find out that a plague has just occurred here. Now most of the affected residents have been gathered to the east of the city for resettlement, while others who are fine have fled to other places.
The place has gone, and the whole of Philadelphia has become a ghost town." Li Yan replied with a wry smile.
"Ah, plague!" Upon hearing these two words, all the students immediately jumped up.
Those students who had just put the food into their mouths immediately spat it out and looked like they were gagging, as if they wanted to vomit out everything in their stomachs.
"Don't be afraid, anything cooked at high temperatures will not be infected with the plague!" Upon seeing this, Xie Xin immediately cursed.
Thanks to that sound, everyone calmed down a little.
It's just that everyone is a little doubtful about the thank you letter.
"They say there's no need to be afraid. The so-called plague is mainly spread through the air, raw water and other means. If it's contagious, we were infected as soon as we came in. It's your turn to be here and enjoy yourself so much."
To eat?" Xie Xin said disdainfully, then raised his chopsticks and started eating desperately.
With his guidance, the students felt relieved. Although they did not eat as fast as before, they had finished all the dishes on the table.
"One pill for each person, get them all for me!" Xie Xin took out a porcelain vase, poured out the elixir inside and motioned for everyone to come forward to receive it.
"What kind of elixir is this?" Li Yan asked curiously.
"After taking the anti-evil pill, ghosts and diseases will not invade you!" Xie Xin said calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the disciples immediately stepped forward and started grabbing the pills frantically, and within a few seconds all the pills were gone.
Although Xie Xin's identity has not been completely exposed, many people still know that you can buy real elixirs from him. Because they know it and he said so, everyone believes in his words.
.
Sure enough, the elixir melted in the mouth, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into a warm current flowing throughout the body. While feeling comfortable, everyone felt that some of the oppressive things in the body seemed to have been eliminated from the body, and the whole body seemed very comfortable.
"Okay, just stay here for one night and set off tomorrow!" Seeing that everyone had regained their composure, Xie Xin immediately gave the order.
"Yes!" the disciples replied with a smile.
With such a super teacher by their side, what else do they have to worry about?
"This master, that..." The waiter stepped forward tentatively.
"Do your job well. If you provide good service, it won't hurt if I give you one when I leave tomorrow. However, the fact that I have the elixir is not allowed to be spread to anyone. Do you understand?" Xie Xin said seriously.
"I understand, little one!" The waiter naturally didn't dare to make any mistakes.
"Teacher..." Just as he was about to go upstairs, one of the disciples named Ling Zhan stepped forward and whispered.
"A manly man can have big breasts, but he must not be hesitant!" Xie Xin scolded.
"Yes! But what does cute big breasts mean?!" Ling Zhan asked cautiously.
"We'll find out when you get married! Tell me, what's the matter?" Xie Xin obviously didn't want to delve into this issue in depth, lest he might mislead his disciples.
"Don't we care about those refugees who were affected by the disaster?" Ling Zhan asked timidly.
"Because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there is no peace anywhere in the Han Dynasty. There are too many things to take care of in the world. With our current ability and status, we are not qualified and have no way to take care of it.
Moreover, the reason why the Taiping Sect arose in the first place was that the three Zhang brothers personally treated people suffering from the plague, and they gradually accumulated popularity.
Although the Yellow Turban Army has been pacified now, if we were to treat those refugees in our own name, it would be easy for us to meet reasonable officials. If the other party is unreasonable, we will be arrested as a rebel if we are not careful."
Xie Xin patted his shoulder and sighed deeply.
"Disciple understands..." Ling Zhan was a little disappointed after hearing this, curtly saluted and returned to his room.
"Plague..." Xie Xinxin muttered and planned to go back to his room to rest.
In the middle of the night, there were knocks on the door.
"Open the door, open the door for me!" came a young female voice.
"Who is it? It's so late at night!" The waiter's voice also came over, obviously he went out to check on the situation.
After all, Xie Xin was not an ordinary person, so he was woken up quickly and paid careful attention to the development of the matter.
It turned out that a girl came to stay with a friend. However, the biggest problem was that her friend was suffering from a high fever at the moment, and he obviously had the plague.
In this plague-infected area, meeting a patient is like meeting the King of Hell. When the waiter learned about the situation, he closed the door without saying a word.
"Let me in, the accommodation expenses will be yours!" To prove, the girl handed over her purse.
There was no money in the purse, only a few bamboo vouchers for receiving flying money. However, this was a voucher issued by Xiapi Mijia Bank, so there was absolutely no problem in receiving the full amount.
And the amount on just a few bamboo vouchers was twenty gold dollars!
What a rich girl!
Seeing the amount, the waiter couldn't help but feel greedy.
Just thinking of the anti-evil pill that he could get tomorrow, between life and money, he still chose life.
"The store is full, you go to another store!" the waiter replied firmly.
"Let me talk to them. Is it okay if I spend money to buy their rooms?" The girl was still so arrogant and unreasonable.
"Waiter, let them in!" Just when the waiter was in trouble, the voice of thanking the letter came over.
When these words reached the waiter's ears, it was like a fairy voice, and he immediately felt like he had been granted amnesty.
So, the girl and her friend were let in immediately.
"Are you a guest here? I will use this as a price to borrow your room for a few days! In addition, if someone comes to see us, remember to tell them that they have never seen us, got it?" The girl dropped these words.
, and ran directly into Xie Xin’s room.
"It looks like they are two young girls who cheated on their family again..." Looking at their background, Xie Xin grinned.
In my heart, I couldn't help but think of He and Wang Rong.
