C194 (1/2)

After dealing with Sun Delong's case, it was already March. Luo Lingwei calculated the days. At this time, she had already left home for more than half a year, but the task of roaming the world had yet to come to an end. Furthermore, the darn System did not tell her how long this quest would last.

However, the hardest part was Nightingale. Not only did she have to deal with the government affairs, but she also had to keep an eye on Luo Lingwei from time to time, afraid that something bad would happen to her. On more than one occasion, he had either written a letter or had someone send a message for Luo Lingwei to return to the capital, but Luo Lingwei was very firm in her stance and refused to return.

On this day, the group arrived at a small village. Although this village had a lot of good farmland, all the thatched cottages were in ruins without exception. Luo Lingwei looked around at the surrounding farmers. Although their faces were yellow and thin, their eyes were fiery. Each one of them was working in full swing, as if they were not tired at all.

”Empress, it is getting late. Tonight, we will rest in the village for the night, and then we can continue on our journey tomorrow.” Zhang Long, who was in charge of leading the way, said to Luo Lingwei who was in the carriage.

At this time, Luo Lingwei had been rushing on for several days and her body was also tired. She agreed to Zhang Long's request and everyone drove the carriage into the village.

When he arrived at the village, he found that the village had also heard the news and rushed over. After all, this group of people were unfamiliar, and the luxurious horse carriages were very strong. Therefore, when someone reported the background, they concluded that this group of people were not small.

”May I ask esteemed guests, where are you from and where are you going?” Li Jun respectfully bowed to Luo Lingwei and the others.

Luo Lingwei got off the carriage, and after seeing the grizzled beard Li Zhengzheng excused her from the ceremony. However, after hearing his question, she almost couldn't help but answer him, ”This humble monk came from the Great Tang of the Eastern Lands, and headed towards the Western Paradise to pray.”

”Old man, we are from Beijing, it is already late. We would like to spend a night in the precious place. Please do me a favor.”

Fortunately, Zhang Long stepped forward to interrupt Luo Lingwei's boring fantasies.

”If that's the case, then please follow me.” As Old Li was speaking, he began to walk towards the village on his walking stick.

Before long, they arrived at a small, dilapidated courtyard. Although the courtyard in the village was dilapidated, it was even more dilapidated than the other houses in the village. Old Li was just about to use his walking stick to knock on the door when he shouted, ”Sis Wang, an important guest has arrived. Quickly come out and take a look.”

”What important guest? Let me tell you first. His second uncle, if the ones who came this time were still those bald donkeys, then don't blame me for being impolite!”

An old woman's voice came from the courtyard. Although her voice was weak, it still contained some strength.

After a while, the door of the dilapidated courtyard was opened and an old woman walked out. She seemed to be around sixty years old, and although she was thin and sallow like the rest of the villagers, she seemed to be in high spirits.

”Old granny, sorry to bother you.” Luo Lingwei and the rest cupped their hands and said.

This old woman's originally angry appearance, upon seeing Luo Lingwei and her group, changed from angry to surprised. Soon after, she saw those people in extraordinary clothing bow to her, and she began to feel fear. She quickly helped them up.

”Esteemed guests, please come in, please come in.” As the old lady spoke, she gestured to the others, inviting them to join her.
