OBS Chapter 274 Mutton Soup
Chapter 274 Mutton Soup
A short while later, the mutton soup was served.
"Grandma, have something to eat." Yun Qingyi pushed the mutton soup in front of the old woman. "You've been traveling all night, you must be starving."
"This..." The old woman licked her dry lips, smelling the delicious aroma, but didn't move. The girl said, "This is too precious, I can't drink it."
Knowing what the old woman was thinking, Yun Qingyi smiled and said, "Please drink it. If we're talking about something precious, you even said you'd build me a temple. That's much more precious than this bowl of soup."
"Drink up, or you won't have the strength to go find your son."
After uttering the last sentence, the old woman paused, tears welling up in her eyes again. She picked up her bowl and drank, saying, "Yes, I have to go find my son."
Seeing the old woman's complexion gradually improve, Yun Qingyi nodded to herself.
It seems her guess was correct. Although the old woman didn't feel very tired along the way, her face became increasingly haggard, and her condition was noticeably worse than when she first met her.
The food in this area can help her recover well.
After the old woman finished her soup, Yun Qingyi had someone bring her another bowl of mutton until she was completely full.
Before paying, I made a point of checking how others paid their bills.
Using his spiritual power, he conjured up similar small pearls, paid the bill to the shopkeeper, and asked for directions to Xiancheng.
Fortunately, the shopkeeper didn't notice anything unusual and even gave us directions.
After thanking her, Yun Qingyi led the old woman away.
On the way, she couldn't help but wonder what kind of place this was, since even the currency used for transactions wasn't the common gold, silver, or copper coins.
Before long, they arrived at the town's exit gate. Glancing at a ruined wall outside the gate, they saw a ghostly shadow clinging to it.
Without looking long, Yun Qingyi pulled the old woman away in a hurry.
As soon as we left the town, the weather became even colder.
All the excess spiritual energy was used to keep warm. Because there was another person with her, and her own spiritual energy was not enough, she also felt a bit cold.
Fortunately, it was within an acceptable range. With that in mind, he transferred some of his own spiritual power to add another layer of warmth to the old woman.
Feeling the warmth, the old woman kept thanking them.
Since leaving the town, she has become more talkative, constantly rambling on and on.
As Yun Qingyi listened, she also observed the unusual phenomena on the snowy road.
On this road leading to Xiancheng, almost every two or three steps, a remnant of a dead soul would cling to the snow-covered ground.
Yun Qingyi frowned slightly. The old woman's voice beside her was intermittent but extremely clear: "This old woman has lived most of her life, and the farthest place I've ever been is this place."
?
...?
The old woman suddenly stopped, grinned at Yun Qingyi, and said, "Young lady, you are a celestial master, please help me, okay?"
The voice suddenly became eerie and ethereal. Yun Qingyi looked at her calmly, without any emotional fluctuation, "Isn't this what I'm doing to help you?"
"Hahaha... Yes, yes... Help me find my son... Help me..." There were questions and answers, but the shrill laughter and the manic tone seemed eerie no matter how you looked at it.
Yun Qingyi remained calm: "I promised you, and I will definitely keep my word. Didn't you say your son was in Xiancheng? Why aren't you leaving?"
The old woman's withered fingers pressed tightly against Yun Qingyi's shoulders with unprecedented force, and a dangerous glint flashed in her cloudy eyes. "Young lady, what are you asking? You've already guessed it, haven't you?"
