Quick Transmigration: Finding a Successor for a Sect in JX3
Chapter 40 Encountering Bad Luck
Several days passed in a flash, and the day arrived for Hong Fei and Li Xiangyi's departure. Granny Ling pulled Li Xiangyi aside, giving him earnest instructions, urging him to take good care of himself and Hong Fei. Qi Mushan chimed in from the side. Through their time together over the past few days, everyone had learned about Hong Fei's origins. They knew that Hong Fei's soul wasn't truly that of a child, but seeing her body, which resembled that of a five or six-year-old, and considering that Hong Fei would travel to various worlds with this child's body to find unknown spatial coordinates to open teleportation arrays and find successors for the world of Jianwang 3, Granny Ling's earnest instructions were evident.
Seeing that it was getting late, Qi Mushan interrupted Ling Po's admonition, and Hong Fei and Li Xiangyi were finally able to leave.
Hong Fei and Li Xiangyi used their light-footed skills to reach the road at the foot of the mountain. Hong Fei summoned the carriage "Red Dust Carriage." She got in and had Li Xiangyi drive it southwest.
Time flies, and a few days later...
"Li Xiangyi, how much longer until we reach town? I'm so tired!" Hongfei asked Li Xiangyi listlessly.
"Soon, soon. Half an hour at most," Li Xiangyi replied casually.
"You've said it so many times. Half an hour, half an hour. It's not over yet!" Hong Fei complained to Li Xiangyi.
"Aren't we almost there? Don't rush!" Li Xiangyi reassured Hong Fei.
"It's all because of you. Didn't you say you could find the way? You actually got lost! You made us miss the next town." Hongfei grumbled.
"I've never been here before either. Who knew that person would give me the wrong directions?" Li Xiangyi also felt quite unlucky; he asked someone for directions, and that person gave him the wrong directions.
"Sigh~" Hong Fei sighed, feeling a pang of sadness as she recalled the past few days. That day, Hong Fei and Li Xiangyi set off from Cloud Mist Mountain, but they hadn't noticed and missed the village, so they had to camp in the wild. Camping in the wild wasn't a problem, since Hong Fei had a tent. Both of them were skilled in martial arts and weren't afraid of wild animals.
Li Xiangyi found a suitable campsite and parked the carriage. Hong Fei found a flat spot and unfolded the interactive "Geography Canopy," a tent that could be easily converted into a tent for both home and travel. It was perfectly adequate for Li Xiangyi and her to stay there.
Li Xiangyi was incredibly envious of Hong Fei's convenient tent. He even circled the tent twice, muttering, "Great, great, so convenient."
Li Xiangyi went into the woods and gathered some firewood, starting a campfire. He then had Hongfei take out some food that Lingpo had prepared for them from her backpack, and the two ate with relish. This was because Lingpo knew Hongfei had a spatial backpack that could hold things, and she had specially prepared this food for them. However, it wasn't much, only enough for two or three days. It was just in case they missed a town and had to camp in the wild. Lingpo had thought of everything very carefully and prepared quite a lot.
But Li Xiangyi and his group were just unlucky! I wonder what kind of road Li Xiangyi chose? These past few days, whenever they stopped to rest, something always happened.
From noon on the second day after they left Cloud Mist Mountain, their days were filled with chaos. Around noon that day, Hong Fei and Li Xiangyi parked their car at the foot of a mountain. They found a shady spot under a tree and were about to eat when a group of bandits suddenly appeared. These bandits were really something, daring to rob the leader of the Four Gates Sect. Li Xiangyi, the number one martial artist in the world, wasn't just all talk, so these bandits were in for a rough time. Li Xiangyi took action, and Hong Fei cheered him on. In no time, Li Xiangyi had the bandits on the ground. Seeing them fall, the two left them groaning on the ground, ignoring them. They planned to eat first and then take them to the authorities.
Looking back, the food that had been neatly placed on the ground was now inedible, covered in ants. Hongfei could only take out two more portions of food from her backpack. Fortunately, Granny Ling had prepared enough for three days, thinking that by then they would have reached town and could replenish their supplies.
Hong Fei and Li Xiangyi ate a meal. Li Xiangyi learned from the bandits that the town was quite far away, at least a day's journey. What to do with these bandits? Taking them to the town and handing them over to the authorities was too far. There were only two of them, but there were quite a few bandits, twenty or thirty. Taking so many people on the road would be troublesome. Moreover, from Li Xiangyi's interrogation, they knew that these people didn't deserve to die. They hadn't been bandits here for long, and they only sought money, not murder. So Hong Fei and Li Xiangyi gave them a beating and sent them away. Li Xiangyi said that when they reached the town, they would notify the authorities to handle it. Hong Fei thought it was no problem!
Hong Fei and Li Xiangyi continued their journey, and as night fell, they finally found a village. The village was nestled in a mountain ravine, and from a distance, it looked quite strange. Even though it was almost dark, no one was cooking, and not a single ray of light shone through. As they drove into the village, they discovered it was an abandoned village. Some of the houses had their doors open, and the interiors were covered in dust, clearly indicating that no one had lived there for a long time.
Hong Fei and Li Xiangyi found a decent room, cleaned it up a bit, took out their own sheets and blankets, and decided to spend the night there.
Hongfei took out the food and chatted with Li Xiangyi while eating, saying, "Why do you think there's no one left in this village?"
"They must have all moved away," Li Xiangyi guessed.
"Is that so?" Hongfei asked uncertainly.
"Anyway, they must have all left on their own. Look, there's not a single piece of furniture in these houses, they're all spotless. They must have moved out themselves. I just don't know why the whole village moved away." Li Xiangyi couldn't figure it out either.
After finishing their meal, Hong Fei and Li Xiangyi chatted for a while before going to rest. They hadn't been asleep long when a torrential downpour began, waking them up without much concern. What did rain matter? Around midnight, they were awakened by a rushing sound, occasionally interspersed with a rumbling noise, like something being swept away by the water. They rushed out of the house and jumped onto the roof to look. Good heavens! A massive flood was rushing down the mountain gully. Hong Fei and Li Xiangyi were nearly scared out of their wits. Without even packing their belongings, they used their light-footed skills to flee frantically up the mountain.
Hong Fei and Li Xiangyi exerted every ounce of their strength, pushing their lightness skills to the limit, and finally reached a safe place. Hong Fei collapsed onto the ground, unable to stand up. Li Xiangyi wasn't in much better shape, looking utterly disheveled. Both were panting heavily, and it took them quite a while to calm down.
Hong Fei and Li Xiangyi looked down into the ravine and saw that the village they had just been in was completely submerged in the flood. Luckily, Hong Fei and Li Xiangyi were both good at light footwork; otherwise, they would have been seriously injured, if not killed.
However, they lost their blankets and belongings, but they bought new ones when they got to town, and it's good that they were all safe and sound.
