Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 123 Parents
The three of them never expected that Lao Shu would ask such a question. This old man is really young at heart.

But it’s better this way. We are not afraid of the old man having needs, but we are afraid of him having nothing to ask for.

Lao Shu was thinking about something, and then he persuaded him to go to Pingchuan City.

"Uncle Tree, I've already told you, I've never been there myself, so I really don't know if there are any old women there."

Lu Xian smiled and said, "But according to what Luo Ping said, he has been trying every possible way to recruit people, and he has been expanding his staff there. Maybe he can recruit some old girls from other places?

"You might as well go and see for yourself. Otherwise, if it really is there and you don't go, it would be such a pity."

Unexpectedly, after he had said these two sentences, the old tree started to become embarrassed, waving his hands and saying, "What are you talking about?! What do you mean by old maid? You are already old, but you are still an old maid! An old woman is an old woman!"

Lu Xian: "..."

Yao Wei: “…”

Chai Xin: “…”

The old man acted as if he had already found an old woman and was making decisions on her behalf as the head of the family.

Lu Xian thought that it was no wonder that this old man could be so lonely and helpless, and often endure the pain of having his skin peeled off and his limbs ripped off, yet he could still stand strong for decades and live until now.

"Well, that's settled, uncle. Go back and pack up, and then you can leave."

Lu Xian knew that at this time he had to strike while the iron was hot and not give the world any time to hesitate and regret, so he spoke directly and urged Lao Shu to get in the car.

Lao Shu noticed the key words in Lu Xian's words and asked, "We?!"

"Yeah, you guys."

Lu Xian had already thought of the wording, and said with a normal expression, "I have just made it very clear, but you probably didn't understand. Yao Wei and I have other things to do and won't go there. Chai Xin will go with you, and you will have company on the way with her."

And Lao Shu's next question was beyond their and even Lu Xian's expectations: "Does that mean we don't have a car? How far do we have to walk?"

This time, before Lu Xian could say anything, Chai Xin glanced at Lao Shu with disdain and said, "Brother just said, let's walk. My little arms and legs can walk by myself, will you die if you walk by yourself?"

The old tree smiled awkwardly and said, "That can't be done! That can't be done! I've been an old man for so many years and I've never seen a car. I always walk up and down the mountain. I can walk! I can walk!"
"Let's go back and pack up, then we can walk there. Brother, you were talking about Pingchuan City, right? I still have some impression of it in my broken brain, and it's really not too far. We can walk, we can walk."

Lu Xian said: "Don't worry, go get some water first. You guys wait here, I'll go get some water."

As he spoke, he took out two mineral water bottles from the trunk, gave some of the water to Yao Wei and Chai Xin, took a big sip himself, and then poured the rest into the bucket.

Seeing this, the old tree said hurriedly: "One bottle is enough! One bottle is enough!"

Lu Xian said: "How can you say that? If I say two, it means two. Can I go back on my word?"

Now there are buckets and pots in the car, all filled with water, so there is no need for so many mineral water bottles. It won’t make any difference if we take two of them.

He felt that his current mentality was like that of a parent who was about to entrust his child to someone else.

This feeling is really wonderful. He has never been a parent in his previous life.

He took two empty bottles and went to the pit behind the ruined temple, filling them with thick green water. When he came back, he was about to give them to the old tree. But the old tree waved its hands and said, "Let the little girl hold it. Give me a sip when I need it."

Good man, the old man is also aware of this and is planning to take the initiative to hand the handle over to his own Chai Xin!
I really don't know what he was thinking. He did this and lowered his posture so much.

Lu Xian was about to refuse, but Chai Xin took the lead, grinned, and said, "Uncle Shu, you take it yourself, I won't take it. If you want to drink it, drink it yourself. You are also a good person. I am not afraid of you, so there is no need to scare you with this."

Lao Shu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Chai Xin, then at Lu Xian. Still worried, he looked at Yao Wei again. Seeing that Lu Xian and Yao Wei didn't react, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked cautiously, "Then I'll... take it?"

"Here, get in the car."

Lu Xian said.

He felt that he had truly become a parent now. Seeing Chai Xin's response and Lao Shu's reaction, he felt truly relieved and a little relieved.

This girl obviously knew how to get along with people in her group, and had experience in surviving alone. Now she had also learned the invisibility methods of the Type D new humans. She parted ways with them and headed for Pingchuan City. He could finally rest assured.

However, although he had the mentality of being Chai Xin's parent, Lu Xian never thought of leaving Chai Xin in the car.

They parted ways, and although Chai Xin seemed pitiful, like a puppy abandoned by them, this was the most responsible thing to do for Chai Xin's life.

You have to know that Yao Wei is going there for revenge, and the danger involved is completely unpredictable.

There is a secret base in Luoping that guards the treasure and prevents it from being lost. It must be safe enough.

Moreover, although Luo Ping seems unreliable on the surface, he is a Type B new human who is willing to die over and over again for a new friend he has made, which makes people feel at ease.

Going to Luoping is the best choice.

Yao Wei must have thought so too.

As for why Yao Wei asked Lu Xian to go with her to seek revenge, and was not at ease letting Chai Xin go along, Lu Xian couldn't explain it clearly, and he couldn't say it.

Human hearts are complex and difficult to describe. How many things can be explained clearly?
Anyway, he should go the same way as Yao Wei. This is the common thought and feeling in their hearts, and it is an unchangeable fact.

We drove down the mountain, passed through Dongshan County, lifted the car and jumped over the Xijian River, and arrived at Xiaogang Village.

Lu Xian and Yao Wei asked Chai Xin to demonstrate the ability he had finally mastered. They were finally relieved when they saw Chai Xin successfully make his clothes and shoes disappear completely in front of them.

Afterwards, the two of them explained the map to Lao Shu and Chai Xin for a long time, determined the route to Shanyang County, Pingchuan City, and taught Chai Xin how to distinguish between east, south, west and north before they could sleep peacefully.

The next morning, Lu Xian built a fire and cooked a pot of rice, and also served it with dehydrated vegetables and sausages. It was so sumptuous that Lao Shu's eyes turned red.

It has been a long time since he last saw this thing.

So when Lu Xian gave him some, he took it directly with his hands, but he thought it was too hot, so he poured it from his left hand to his right hand and gobbled it up.

Yao Wei gave the bowl to Chai Xin and waited until Chai Xin finished eating before she started eating.

After this meal, it was time to go our separate ways.
