Tie Zhu frowned and said, "Lao Ba is a solitary person. I only know that his last name is Tong, and he is the eighth child in his family. He seems to be from Qiushan Town."

"Where is Qiushan Town?"

Before Tiezhu could answer, Zhu Huifei came out of the room, holding a piece of paper and said, "Old Eight left a note."

Xia Qingqing took the note and saw that the few words written on it were quite nice. She said, "Not bad, you still know how to leave a message."

"I didn't expect that Lao Bazi could write so well," Xia Qingqing took a look and said, "It's okay, he will go back to Dayu Village in a few days."

"Don't worry, a grown man won't get lost," Zhu Huifei said, looking at Xia Qingqing. "However, this Old Eight is a very thoughtful person. He was in a daze the whole time when he got to the room that day. It seemed like he had something on his mind."

"Everyone knows that he has something on his mind, but he refuses to say anything. Who can help him?"

Mulan was a little sad. They had gone through a lot of hardships along the way, but they ran away as soon as they arrived at their destination without even saying goodbye. It was really heartbreaking.

The next day, before dawn, Xia Qingqing took everyone away.

This time, there were six people going back: Huo An, Tiezhu, Zhu Huifei, Qingfeng, Mulan and Xia Qingqing, but the only one missing was Lao Ba.

Qingfeng drove a carriage with Mulan and Xia Qingqing, and Tiezhu drove a carriage with Zhu Huifei and Huo An. They could take turns driving if they got tired on the road.

In comparison, it is much easier than when I came here.

In addition to eating and sleeping along the way, they would stop to look at the beautiful scenery, and would stay in a nice town and buy some things for their families.

As a result, when they were halfway through the journey, their carriage was filled with things, forcing Huo An to sit outside with Tie Zhu.

Before sunset on the sixth day, the group finally arrived at Qibaozhou, a small town adjacent to Liangzhou City.

"Oh my god! This Qibaozhou is really full of endless mountains. Fortunately, we were quick, otherwise we would have to stay in the mountains tonight." Xia Tiezhu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xia Qingqing. "This place is very close to Qiushan Town. I want to go to Lao Ba's house to take a look. Anyway, we are here."

Xia Qingqing took a look and said, "Go ahead, let the breeze..."

"Boss, I'll go with Brother Tiezhu."

Mulan stood up and asked tentatively. Seeing Xia Qingqing nodded and happily got on the carriage, they left without even having time to eat.

At the inn, Zhu Huifei ordered a table full of dishes and said, "We'll be in Liangzhou City tomorrow. Everyone, please stay and let me show my hospitality!"

Huo An poured Zhu Huifei a glass of wine and thanked him, "Boss Zhu, our family is very grateful for your help this time. You have worked hard on this journey. I toast to you!"

"My elder brother is right. I'll toast you a glass too." Xia Qingqing also raised her glass and thanked Zhu Huifei.

Zhu Huifei gritted his teeth and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp. He said, "What are you thanking me for? This time, I realized that there are still so many people suffering from the war on the border of our Great Xia, and there are still so many soldiers fighting bloody battles for our happiness..."

……

As they were eating, a servant from the inn suddenly came in, took off all his clothes, and said, "How come there are so many bugs in such cold weather?"

"How abnormal!"

The servant went into the backyard cursing, but unexpectedly, screams were heard from the backyard of the inn.

"It's a miracle! A miracle has happened! Come and see, old boss, something strange has happened in our well!"

The old owner on the second floor hurried downstairs and ran to the backyard. He looked down at the bubbling well water and shouted, "Auspicious signs from heaven! Auspicious signs from heaven!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Huifei stopped drinking and immediately stood up and said, "Auspicious sign? I'd like to go and see this rare thing..."

He grabbed a handful of peanuts and walked towards the backyard with many people in the inn. Huo An and Qingfeng followed them amid the constant shouts of others.

Only Xia Qingqing glanced out the window and saw that the evening sky suddenly had a lot of red clouds, which was extremely dazzling.

Her heart was beating fast, it looked like a bad omen.

"Is there some treasure coming out of the bottom of this well?"

"Could there be a Well Dragon King? I'm afraid he's about to show up."

……

Amidst various opinions, Xia Qingqing walked to the backyard and took a look at the well water, which further confirmed her doubts.

"It doesn't look like a good omen, I'm afraid it's the precursor to an earthquake."

Xia Qingqing's mumbling was heard by a servant beside her, who quickly asked, "What is an earthquake?"

"The earth dragon turns over."

Xia Qingqing relied on her memory to speak words that they could understand. She thought that everyone would panic or be afraid, but what she heard was the sound of the servant laughing.

"Oh my god! How is it possible that a dragon is turning over?"

The old owner of the inn also laughed out loud. Remembering that Xia Qingqing was their guest, he didn't mock her. He just explained, "Young lady, you don't know, but our place has never experienced an earth dragon turning over. There has been no such thing as an earthquake in the past few hundred years as long as there are historical records."

"Just because it hasn't happened in the past few hundred years doesn't mean it won't happen in the future," Xia Qingqing explained. "This place is surrounded by mountains, and its location..."

"What's wrong with you, young lady? Are you deliberately trying to stop my boss from getting rich?" The servant nudged Xia Qingqing. "Last time in our town, the fish in someone's fish pond jumped out of the water on the prefect's birthday. It was a spectacular sight!"

"Yes, I heard that fish are willing to let people with supernatural powers eat them, so that they can become dragons after they die."

The guest in the inn also agreed with the explanation. Xia Qingqing found it very funny. Who knew that the man continued, "Maybe the fish the prefect ate has really become a dragon now. It's in this well!"

The more he talked, the more outrageous it became. Xia Qingqing's cheeks twitched. This guy could spread any rumor as soon as his lips touched.

Qingfeng didn't know when he had pushed the boy away, and warned him with his eyes: "You can talk, but don't touch me, or I will be rude to you."

"Forget it, Qingfeng," Xia Qingqing glanced at him and said, "I'm just reminding you one last time. It looks like the earth dragon is about to turn over, so find an open place as soon as possible."

Having said this, Xia Qingqing turned to her people and said, "Brother, Brother Zhu, Qingfeng... follow me!"

Huo An and Qingfeng followed Xia Qingqing without hesitation. Although Zhu Huifei still wanted to watch the fun, he was more afraid of losing his life. After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and walked out.

"What's this about the earth dragon turning over? That's simply alarmist talk! Do you believe I can charge you with spreading rumors and inciting the public?!"
