Chapter 40 On the Road

The mountains are high and the waters are long, and the trees are lush and green.

Li Qi carried a large backpack and weighed his money bag with a distressed look.

Nine hundred and ninety-two coins, now only two hundred and thirty-one coins are left.

In exchange, he got this large backpack on his body.

There are many things in it.

This large backpack itself is not cheap.

Brown paper to protect against rain, rice cakes that can be stored for a long time, and some salted meat.

A large canvas, which can be folded into a large bundle in the wild to hold things, rolled up to be a handy short rope, can also be used as a quilt, and is wear-resistant and fireproof.

Two hatchets and a small whetstone, at least there is a sharp weapon when you are in trouble in the wild, and it can also be used to cut vines that block the way, and can also be used to cut firewood for fire.

Some tinders and two flints, needless to say, are used for making fire, and flints are used at ordinary times. In critical moments, you can use tinders that can be ignited by shaking them.

There are also wound medicine, insecticide, some essential medicines, and necessities for survival in the wild.

A piece of linen, some knives, spatulas, iron heads of farm tools, etc., these were brought for guest merchants, and they could be sold to some villages to make some money.

We were poor, so any money we could earn was good.

In addition, there were many other small things, which I will not mention one by one.

In short, Li Qi made sufficient preparations to cope with the future long journey.

Moreover, he spent a huge amount of money, a full sixty coins, to change Shen Shuibi's clothes.

Her previous white clothes with a gauze scarf and hollows matched the style when she walked with Mr. Zhu, but when she walked with him, she looked like a fool who was about to be robbed.

So she was changed into a linen dress for women, and now she looked like a pretty village girl.

Although it was a bit too pretty, how could normal villagers raise such a beauty?

After all, in ordinary villages or gang members like Li Qi, the female members of the family, even if they were born beautiful and looked very beautiful, most of them still needed to work and manage the household.

No matter how beautiful one's natural appearance is, if one has to wash clothes, cook, pound rice and chop wood every day since childhood, no matter how beautiful one is, if one grows up like this, he or she will become a peasant woman, with big shoulders and waist, rough skin, and very ugly.

But to be honest, people of Li Qi's class just need this kind of wife.

Because they are familiar with all kinds of affairs, work quickly, are strong, not prone to illness, can do farm work or help their husbands with heavy physical work, they are good at maintaining the family's livelihood, and they need such a wife to live.

If you really keep a beautiful woman with smooth skin, petite figure, and delicate habits at home, even if she doesn't cause trouble for you, the fact that she can't do work alone can make the family overwhelmed.

You can't afford it.

If she is willing to share the burden with her husband, then after working for two years at most, she will become like other peasant women, big shoulders and waist, and no longer beautiful.

Therefore, even if Shen Shuibi wears a linen dress, you can still tell at a glance that she is definitely not an ordinary person.

But it doesn't matter. After all, Li Qi feels that he should not be considered an ordinary person now, and he should be able to cover it up, as long as he doesn't stand out.

Walking on the road, Li Qi looked at Shen Shuibi, who was lightly dressed, without any luggage, and was leading the way like a picnic.

This reminded him of the conversation when they set out.

At that time, Li Qi asked: "Miss Shen, how did you determine the direction? Where is Luofu Niangniang?"

"It's a feeling~ I have been by Niangniang's side since I was a child. I know where Niangniang is as soon as I open my eyes. As long as I follow my feeling, I will definitely find her!" Shen Shuibi clenched her fist confidently and said confidently.

To be honest, Li Qi just felt that it was very unreliable.

But there is no way. This is a world with monsters and ghosts. Maybe it will really work.

Then... a trip without knowing the destination and unable to arrange the itinerary, just started like this.

The two walked along the way. Li Qi carried a big backpack with all their luggage inside, while Shen Shuibi brought nothing. She wore new clothes and walked forward with nothing in her hands.

Li Qi was very skeptical about her behavior at first.

But after walking for two days, Li Qi found that the other party really didn't need luggage.

Shen Shuibi could actually stay clean. Even if she walked in the wild, she would not get dirty at all. She didn't sweat or have any peculiar smell. Even if she fell down and got covered in dust, when she got up from the ground with a bitter face, the dust would naturally slide off her body and would not stick to her skin at all.

In addition, she didn't need to eat!

Yes, according to her own words, she was born a different species, not an ordinary demon, so she didn't need to eat ordinary food, she only needed to eat wind and drink dew, and inhale different air.

Because of this, she didn't need to excrete, sweat, and if she wanted, she didn't even need to breathe, but breathing was just a means of eating for her.

No need to take a bath, no sweat, always clean, always beautiful.

This is a fucking…2D beautiful girl?

Is it that easy?

In short, taking this thing on the road, there is no logistical pressure at all. She can walk by herself and run quite fast.

Very good, very good.

The two of them trekked through the wilderness for three days.

On this day, at noon, Li Qi needed to take a break, make some lunch, replenish his energy, and rest his feet.

Shen Shuibi also understood that not everyone could stay fragrant and energetic without eating or taking a bath like her, so she patiently waited by the side.

After three days of getting along, the two were no longer so unfamiliar, but Shen Shuibi didn't talk much, and the topics were basically brought up by Li Qi to relieve boredom on the road, so at this moment Li Qi went to fetch water and cook, she also kept silent and looked into the distance.

She didn't lie to Li Qi, she really didn't know where the queen was, but the little rabbit could indeed vaguely sense the queen's location.

It's just... after walking for three days, she didn't feel that the distance was shortened much.

This means that the distance she walked in these three days is actually nothing compared to the distance to the queen.

She didn't tell Li Qi this because she was afraid that if she said so, Li Qi would not be willing to go with her to find the queen.

Because he was very tired walking on the mountain road, unlike herself.

In these three days, he walked more than 200 miles, but if he wanted to find the queen, he would probably have to walk tens of thousands of miles.

If the queen didn't move, it might take a year or two.

"Ah..." She sighed. At this speed, it would take a long time to walk.

It would be great if there was a horse.

Unfortunately, Li Qi was very poor and couldn't afford it. A horse cost twenty or thirty gold coins. Although Shen Shuibi didn't think it was expensive, Li Qi certainly couldn't afford it.

When she thought about this, she suddenly stood up.

Ahead... is there a horse neighing?
