Chapter 57 The Wind Rises
The weather is good today, the sun is shining brightly, and the usually deserted streets are now bustling with activity.
Zhang Chu, wearing sunglasses, strolled on the street. He soon came to a grain store and walked in.
There were also two people in the store, who looked to be in their twenties or thirties.
There were several cloth bags filled with various kinds of food on a shelf.
"Master,"
As soon as I stepped into the store, the shopkeeper came up to me and asked, "What do you need?"
"Do you have aged glutinous rice?"
Zhang Chu looked around the grain store and said, "I need some!"
"Of course there is!"
The shopkeeper nodded quickly, "I just don't know how much you need?"
"As many as you can get, as many as you want!"
"Master, please follow me!"
Seeing that Zhang Chu didn't seem to be joking, he immediately took Zhang Chu to the warehouse.
The warehouse is still very clean and there is no musty smell.
This shop owner is a conscientious shop owner.
"Master,"
The shopkeeper pointed to the dozen or so bags of glutinous rice nearby and said, "These are all the aged glutinous rice in our shop."
"Uh-huh!"
Zhang Chu nodded, walked forward, untied one of the bags and started checking it.
In fact, Zhang Chu didn’t really know what aged glutinous rice was, but his original body knew it.
After opening the bag, Zhang Chu checked it according to his memory. It turned out that the store did not cheat and the rice was indeed aged glutinous rice.
"I want them all!"
Looking at the dozen bags of aged glutinous rice in front of him, Zhang Chu said to the store owner, "Load it up and send it to where I'm staying!"
"okay!"
The shop owner was quite happy.
Aged glutinous rice is difficult to sell, but he sold it all at once and made money. How could he not be happy?
They found a donkey cart and loaded all the aged glutinous rice on it. The shop owner followed Zhang Chu and drove the cart towards the place designated by Zhang Chu.
The town only had two streets, and the inn where Zhang Chu lived was not too far from the grain store. It didn't take long before he arrived at the inn.
"Master,"
Lao Wang, the innkeeper, saw that Zhang Chu had asked the grain store owner to deliver such a large cart of glutinous rice, and asked, "Did you buy all of this?"
"Correct!"
Zhang Chu nodded and asked the owner of the grain store to deliver the glutinous rice to a room on the first floor.
This room is the one that Zhang Chu told Lao Wang about, a room that will temporarily serve as a warehouse.
After unloading the goods and Zhang Chu paid the money, the owner of the grain store drove away on his donkey cart.
Lao Wang often receives Simu, so he knows something about some things.
"Master,"
So he asked tentatively, "You prepared so much sticky rice, is there something going to happen in the town?"
"nothing!"
Zhang Chu glanced at the worried Lao Wang and said, "I just need to write about glutinous rice!"
Lao Wang was still a little worried, but seeing that Zhang Chu was unwilling to say anything, he stopped asking.
After the things were transported to the warehouse, Zhang Chu locked it directly.
These are actually prepared for Taoist Priest Qianhe.
It is definitely impossible to deal with royal zombies with magic power alone, other means must also be used.
Although sticky rice is not very harmful, it is still harmful. In fact, Zhang Chu has already stockpiled a lot of sticky rice in the charity cemetery of Liancheng World, but he has no way to take it out.
How do you explain the origin of so much glutinous rice?
This is not Tengfei Town!
Two days passed in a flash. Zhang Chu was resting early in the morning when he heard the sound of a carriage coming from the street.
He stood at the window and looked down. It was Qianhe and his group who were escorting the copper-horned golden coffin.
Zhang Chu had no intention of going down to say hello, but now that he had met them, he had to follow them to Simu.
He just had to wait on the road.
Qianhe and his group had no intention of resting in the inn, but walked straight towards the grain store. It seemed that they had run out of glutinous rice, so they went to buy some more.
Soon, a squeaking sound was heard, and Taoist Qianhe had a look of disappointment on his face.
There was no glutinous rice in the grain store, but fortunately, he had other options.
"Chief Wu."
Taoist Qianhe said to the eunuch who was also escorting the royal zombies, "Go and tell the young prince that there is no glutinous rice here. We need to borrow some glutinous rice from my former junior brother before we can continue on our journey!"
"it is good!"
Butler Wu made a gesture with his index finger, walked to the side of the carriage, said a few words to the child inside, and then came back.
Watching them continue on their journey, Zhang Chu had no intention of staying long and also walked out of the inn.
Although the town is small, it has everything.
Soon, Zhang Chu walked to the mule and horse market, bought a donkey cart, and returned to the inn.
"Master, are you leaving now?"
Looking at Zhang Chu driving the donkey cart back, the shop owner Lao Wang said with some disappointment.
"I have something important to do, so it's time to go!"
Zhang Chu stopped the donkey cart and started to load the glutinous rice onto the cart.
Thinking that it might rain in the next two nights, Zhang Chuyou found some tarpaulins and wrapped the glutinous rice on the donkey cart tightly.
Everyone says it's a stubborn donkey, but Zhang Chu didn't feel how stubborn the donkey was.
The donkeys he met were all very obedient.
Even though he had never driven a donkey cart before, the donkey was very docile in his hands.
With a creaking sound, Zhang Chu drove the donkey cart out of the town.
As for how to find Chizuru and the others?
That's quite simple. If you are far away, there is no way. If you are close, there are many ways.
Even though the royal zombies were suppressed by the copper-horned golden coffin, they still emitted a faint smell of corpse gas.
Is there anyone who is more familiar with corpse qi than Zhang Chu, who practices with corpse qi?
He just needs to follow the route where the corpse gas is coming from and catch up little by little.
The day passed in a flash, and night arrived as expected. Zhang Chu drove the donkey cart, constantly following the direction of the corpse gas.
He even saw a few thatched huts not far away. Just by taking a glance, Zhang Chu knew that this should be the Taoist temple of Taoist Master Simu, and there seemed to be a monk inside.
"Who cares if he's a monk or not?"
Zhang Chu shook his head slightly. He could feel that the corpse qi belonging to the royal zombies had already left here. He continued to drive the donkey cart to follow.
Looking at the starry sky, no matter how hard Zhang Chu thought, he didn't think there would be a thunderstorm tonight.
Of course, it could also be that he lacked experience and was unable to judge the weather.
As the donkey cart continued to move forward, Zhang Chu had already seen a campfire faintly appearing ahead.
I guess that's the place Taoist Qianhe chose to set up camp.
Just when Zhang Chu wanted to continue driving the donkey cart forward, the wind started to blow!
"Whoo~"
The sudden strong wind almost overturned the donkey cart.
