Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 43 Martial Arts Novels
"What a shame... okay."

Luo Ping said it was a pity, but did not force it. Following Lu Xian's words, he said, "My base is in the north of Shanyang County, Pingchuan City in the south. Brother, if you meet a good person, please introduce them to me there. If someone can go there, I will find them."

He suddenly returned to his car, fished something out, and said, "Here, this is what I found from those people in the county town. It's just enough to repay your dry food."

It was a small black cloth bag. I don’t know how many times the bag had passed through the hands and how it had been damaged. There were many stains on it and it was really unbearable to look at.

Lu Xian took it, opened it and saw that there were six or seven compressed biscuits inside.

This thing is much more valuable than the few packets of instant noodles he gave to Luo Ping.

He said, "You already gave us the gasoline can, why are you giving us this?"

Luo Ping shook his head and said, "The gasoline barrel is what I promised to give you after I found it. This is your dry food, so it's different."

Lu Xian didn't hesitate, he just put it away and said with a smile: "Then you've lost a lot."

Luo Ping also laughed: "How did I lose so much? A gasoline can and seven compressed biscuits in exchange for... um... let me count... six lives. Am I losing out?"

Lu Xian said: "If you say so, it's indeed not a loss."

He hesitated for a moment, then turned to Yao Wei and said, "Why don't we return the favor and give this guy something?"

He thought Yao Wei would hesitate or refuse outright, but unexpectedly, Yao Wei agreed very straightforwardly and said, "Okay."

After saying that, Yao Wei went straight back to her car and brought out a bag of unopened vacuum-packed white rice.

Luo Ping's eyes widened instantly: "This is... the white rice you gave me before?!"

Lu Xian laughed: "Why, you've never seen him before?" He looked as if a local tycoon was looking at a country bumpkin.

Luo Ping stared at the bag of rice, swallowed his saliva, and said, "I've only seen it in books before. This is the first time I'm eating it. It's really good..."

He turned to look at Lu Xian and Yao Wei, "Do you really want to give me this thing?"

Yao Wei didn't say anything and just threw the whole bag of rice into Luo Ping's car with the door open.

Lu Xian smiled, carried the oil barrel back to the car, tidied it up a bit, moved the other bag of rice to another place, and then used the space left to put the gasoline barrel in.

After doing all this, he sat in the driver's seat.

Yao Wei followed closely behind, threw down her things, turned around and left, opened the passenger door, sat up, closed the door, and ignored Luo Ping.

"Okay, let's say goodbye now. See you later!"

Lu Xian waved to Luo Ping while sitting in the car, started the car, stepped on the accelerator, and drove west.

Luo Ping stared blankly at Lu Xian who gave him a slap on the back of his car. After a while, he smiled, returned to his car, and stepped on the accelerator to catch up.

——He also wants to go west and then turn south.

His car was much faster than Yao Wei's.

So soon, he caught up with Lu Xian and Yao Wei.

"Dududu-"

He honked his horn, then picked up the loudspeaker in his car and said, "The road ahead is long, but we'll meet again!"

After he finished speaking, he threw the loudspeaker away, stepped on the accelerator, and gave Lu Xian a slap on the rear end of the car.

"This big brother must have his own martial arts novels. He talks about them in a very coherent way, just like me."

Luo Ping grinned, staring straight ahead, muttering to himself, "I forgot to ask Big Brother what the novel he has in his hand is. Never mind, I'll ask him again when we meet again."

The sunglasses were not damaged by the people in Fengcheng County and were still on the passenger seat. He casually touched the sunglasses and put them on his ears and nose, feeling that he was more handsome.

……

Lu Xian and Yao Wei behind them soon lost sight of the rear of Luo Ping's car.

Lu Xian savored the words coming from the loudspeaker in Luo Ping's car and laughed, "This guy must have read martial arts novels or something like that." He didn't expect that there were martial arts novels or similar things in this world.

Yao Wei had no idea about martial arts novels. After hearing what Lu Xian said, she subconsciously glanced at the back row.

Lu Xian's backpack was placed there, and the small bag on the side was stuffed with the book that she couldn't bear to look at.

These two people have similar interests. I wonder if the martial arts novels they are talking about are related to this kind of thing?

She was just daydreaming when she suddenly saw Lu Xian turn around and glance at her and asked, "Why did you give the rice to that Luo Ping?"

Yao Wei also looked at Lu Xian: "Isn't this what you wanted to give it to me?"

Lu Xian said: "But I didn't say I was going to send rice."

Yao Wei asked, "Isn't that what you wanted to give as a gift?"

"……Yes."

Lu Xian was silent for a while, then laughed, "Can we be considered to be in sync?"

"what?"

Yao Wei didn't understand.

Lu Xian said: "We don't have the wings of a phoenix, but we understand each other's thoughts. That is to say, we don't need to speak to each other, and we can understand each other's thoughts."

Yao Wei suddenly became a little embarrassed. She quickly turned around and looked at the car window in front of her, feeling inexplicably nervous.

"No, no!"

She said, "I, I was thinking that the car was already crowded, and if we brought in the oil drum, there wouldn't be enough room. I cleared out a bag of rice for him, which would be just enough to fill the oil drum."

Lu Xian smiled and said, "I think so too. Look at this car, it's full of rice. We just stuffed the oil drum in with so much effort. If we don't give him a bag, there really won't be enough room."

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded, pursed her lips, and said nothing more.

She didn't know what to say, nor did she want to speak.

But she knew that Lu Xian really wanted to give that sharp brother a bag of rice, so she took out the rice.

There might be a reason that there is not enough space in the car, but that is definitely not the main reason why Lu Xian wants to send white rice.

Lu Xian must be impressed by the sharp brother Luo Ping's ideas and actions, so even if Lu Xian did not agree to go with Luo Ping, he would do his best to help Luo Ping.

The same is true for myself.

Actually, it was nothing, just a clash of ideas and opinions, which was quite normal. But for some reason, when she heard Lu Xian say "we have the same thoughts", she suddenly felt embarrassed to say it out loud.

How awkward!
The car drove forward and reached the road where she had met Luo Ping before. Yao Wei stopped thinking about random things and became alert.

It was here that they had met Luo Ping and the people from Liangshui Village. Lu Xian and Yao Wei could still see the scrapped pickup truck parked on the side of the road, its doors open, its steering wheel and seats missing; it had clearly been visited.

I wonder if the people in Liangshui Village will stop us?

"Dududu-"

The familiar sound of car horns rang out again.

Luo Ping's car fell behind them again at some point and overtook them again.

When overtaking, Luo Ping turned around, grinning with his jagged white teeth, and said through the megaphone, "Brother and sister, don't worry, I've already been to Liangshui Village.

"I've beaten those guys in the county so badly that they don't dare to attack us anymore. The county is now their fat piece of meat, and they're all heading there in a big group. See you later!"

After saying that, he gave Lu Xian and Yao Wei a slap on the back of the car and disappeared.
