This place is fun

Chapter 178 Awakening
Su Daoshan woke up with a slight vibration and found himself in a swaying carriage.

The carriage was crude and bumpy, with a small space, and the bamboo arched ceiling still had some old waterlogged marks. But his head was resting on a carefully wrapped piece of clothing as a pillow, and the wooden board beneath him was covered with a thick layer of straw, and on top of that there were layers of cushions made of clothing.

Next to him was a clay pot filled with half a can of water, and a towel was placed on his forehead. Looking down, he saw that he had changed into a complete set of clean Hongzhao Palace clothing, including his inner clothes. The deerskin bag used to hold talismans, money and other miscellaneous items was quietly placed next to his pillow.

Su Daoshan sat up and checked his body. He found that except for a slight headache, there was nothing wrong with his body. After a comfortable sleep, his physical strength was restored. His internal energy was strong, his blood was vigorous, his whole body was warm, and some parts of his body were...

He looks as vigorous as a tiger.

Su Daoshan awkwardly adjusted his sitting position slightly, leaned forward, pulled his lower abdomen back, then listened and smelled. It seemed that someone had just got off the car, and there was still a faint fragrance in the car.

Outside the car, in addition to the creaking of wooden wheels, there was also the slow sound of horse hooves and someone was talking.

"How is Junior Brother Su?" A pleasant voice sounded.

"He hasn't woken up yet, but the fever has subsided and his breathing is stable. He may wake up soon." The person who answered was Song Xier, and her tone was as light as if a huge stone had fallen to the ground.

"That's great... Thank God..."

As soon as Song Xier heard what he said, a light and joyful cheer immediately rang out outside the carriage. Male and female voices, loud and clear, cheers of joy, and voices of comfort and prayer, all made a mess.

I only heard a rough voice saying, "When he wakes up, I have to have a drink with him. If it weren't for him, I, Pan Gang, would have lost these 200 kilograms here. Damn, who knew that after chasing all the way here, this turned out to be a trap. That thing is too weird, and this Hu Gao doesn't match the intelligence either..."

The cheers suddenly became much quieter. It was obvious that everyone was still frightened when they recalled what had happened before.

"Junior Sister Fan, I heard in the camp that Junior Brother Su passed the county exam not long ago and was accepted into the Hangu sect, but he hasn't officially entered yet?" A gentle female voice sounded in the silence. Su Daoshan recognized that it was the female demon hunter who was an actor. Even now, her voice was still a little weak.

"Yes." Song Xier said, "But my master has already accepted him as his personal disciple. After this matter is settled, he will be summoned to the mountain gate."

Another clear and childish female voice sounded: "By the way, Senior Sister Fan, I also heard in the main camp that Senior Brother Su was the one who discovered the wormhole this time. And he also came out to meet the commander of the Eagle Guard?"

"That's right." Song Xier said.

“It’s hard to imagine that such an outstanding person can exist in a remote and wild place like Yishan City. He is only seventeen years old and hasn’t even entered the sect yet, but he has such courage and means.” The female demon hunter laughed, “If I didn’t know that I couldn’t compete with Han Valley, I would have wanted to poach people for my master’s sect.”

Everyone burst into laughter.

After a while, Song Xier asked, "How far are we from Beizi Town now?"

"It's only five miles away," the pleasant voice said, "I've asked Junior Brother Qi to go to the transfer station over there to find a doctor. In addition, I've also sent a message to Hongzhao Palace. If there are any seniors in the sect nearby, they will rush over as soon as possible. Junior Brother Su is fine, and if he feels unwell, I can help take a look."

"Hongzhao Palace...this should be Liu Huan..." Su Daoshan thought to himself.

During the previous battle, Liu Huan didn't say anything, but her voice at this moment was consistent with Su Daoshan's impression of her... Her voice was like the gurgling of a spring, refreshing, gentle and peaceful, revealing a scholarly air of knowledge and wisdom.

"Well, everyone should hurry up and get to Beizi Town as soon as possible." Song Xier said.

Everyone agreed, and the carriage speed increased significantly.

After a while, I heard the clear and childish female voice curiously asking, "Hey, Senior Sister Fan, aren't you going back to the carriage to take care of Senior Brother Su? What if he wakes up..."

Strangely, Song Xier hummed vaguely but did not answer. Instead, Liu Huan's voice rang out: "Okay, Lanlan, stop caring so much and go explore the way ahead."

"Oh." The girl named Lanlan agreed sullenly. With the sound of horse hooves, she and several other people overtook the carriage and went to the front.

After a moment of silence, the witcher's chuckle could be heard from the back of the carriage.

"Senior Sister Wen, you..." Liu Huan's originally calm voice now revealed a strange hint of embarrassment.

Su Daoshan was somewhat stunned, but he heard this "Senior Sister Wen" seem to say to Song Xier: "We are all fellow disciples of the righteous way, and our lives were saved by Junior Brother Su. We should act according to the emergency, and there is no need to be particular. Junior Sister Liu and I have also taken care of Junior Brother Su before. He is a man, and he is at an age full of vigor..."

Su Daoshan understood now, looked down, and couldn't help but blush.

Then he heard a few people chatting outside. After a while, Song Xier gave instructions, and the frame at the back shook, indicating that someone had boarded the carriage. Su Daoshan quickly lay down, put a towel on his forehead, and closed his eyes.

Song Xier lifted the curtain and entered the carriage, knelt down beside Su Daoshan, and reached out to take the towel from his forehead.

As the towel moved, Su Daoshan opened his eyes in time. The next moment, Song Xier's face appeared in front of him with a look of joy: "Are you awake?"

Su Daoshan's eyes were blank, and he looked like he had not yet come back to his senses.

Song Xier's eyes were bright and clear like water. This was the first time that Su Daoshan's eyes were so gentle and caring when she transformed into Fan Caiyi. Usually, he was cold and aloof.

Su Daoshan had to admit that the young talents of the righteous sects had excellent aesthetic tastes. Especially in a small space like a carriage, when he suddenly opened his eyes and saw this almost flawless face, he was quite amazed. It was a pity that Su Daoshan knew the true face of this witch better than anyone else. The so-called iceberg beauty was just an illusion. The red hair rope was pulled and her true appearance was revealed.

"Fortunately," Su Daoshan pretended to come to his senses and sat up. He seemed to have just discovered that his clothes had been changed. He looked at Song Xier in astonishment, "This is..."

"Brother Pan Gang carried you down the mountain and found a carriage. You had been running a fever before and your clothes were soaked. So they changed your clothes," Song Xier seemed to have thought of something, her cheeks slightly pink, and she explained quickly, "I just came up too. It was Junior Sister Liu Huan and Senior Sister Wen Yilan who were taking care of you before..."

Su Daoshan turned his head and looked at the pottery jar beside him. Now thinking back, in a daze, it seemed that someone had been wiping him to cool him down.

After listening to Song Xier's introduction, Su Daoshan realized that Pan Gang and Wen Yilan were the two demon hunters. He nodded seriously, but he couldn't help laughing in his heart, and he felt relieved in his heart.

In some cases, as long as you are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed. Anyway, no matter what Song Xier saw just now, she just woke up and knew nothing.

What was beyond Su Daoshan's expectation was that when he asked casually, Song Xier only mentioned Liu Huan and Wen Yilan, as if she had not been in the carriage before, which was clearly an attempt to cover up the truth...

"You dragged me into the illusion before, pretending to be a bride to seduce me. I thought you were such a powerful witch, but I didn't expect you would blush sometimes..." Su Daoshan looked down on me. We are both children of the underworld. Thinking back to the KTV in the previous life, she never cared about trivial matters.

The wheels of the carriage creaked and the carriage bumped from time to time. Seeing Su Daoshan turned his head to look at the window, Song Xier said, "We are on the way to Beizi Town now. There is a temporary transfer station over there where you can rest. I was thinking that if your fever doesn't go away, you can ask the doctor in the army to take a look."

As she spoke, she heard the sound of horse hooves outside and seemed to remember something: "Oh, everyone is outside and they are all worried about you. I'll go tell them..."

Seeing Song Xier about to get up, Su Daoshan quickly stopped her: "Wait a moment."

He rubbed his head, which was still aching, and prepared to understand the situation first: "How long have I been unconscious?"

"It's almost six hours." When talking about the time, Song Xier obviously breathed a sigh of relief.

Because of years of training, warriors' physiques are very different from those of ordinary people. Generally speaking, they rarely get sick or have fever. However, this time, everyone found that Su Daoshan was basically not injured, but he had a high fever and remained unconscious.

This made everyone nervous. It was not until she saw Su Daoshan wake up, and his mind was normal and his speech was clear that Song Xier felt relieved.

"It's been so long?" The scene of the previous battle came back to Su Daoshan's mind. He confirmed, "That Hu Gao is dead, right?"

Song Xier nodded.

Su Daoshan felt relieved. He had actually seen Hu Gao turn into flesh and blood. But the supernatural power in this world was too strange. God knew what would happen after he fainted.

Just like now... Su Daoshan rubbed his head subconsciously again. He found that there was always a strange thought in his mind that could not be shaken off.

"Where is the parasitic secret weapon?" Su Daoshan asked.

"I don't know," Song Xier shook her head and said, "After you knocked Hu Gao out of his body, he disappeared."

When this matter was mentioned, Song Xier's curiosity was aroused. She stared at Su Daoshan intently and asked, "How did you do it at that time?"

Although they were suspended in mid-air at that time, Song Xier, Liu Huan and Pan Gang all saw clearly what had happened.

Everyone knew that Su Daoshan had saved their lives. But no one could explain why Hu Gao's last bang didn't sound, why Su Daoshan was bleeding from all seven orifices, what the yellow paper in his palm was, why the parasitic secret weapon was knocked out of his body...

Even now, Song Xier just felt incredible. Before, everyone thought Su Daoshan was a nerd, but she knew this guy's background. She once thought that she knew enough about this junior brother, but now, she felt that she couldn't see through him...

Being stared at by Song Xier, Su Daoshan blinked his eyes, looking confused. Suddenly, he covered his forehead and said in pain, "My head hurts."

"Forget it." Song Xier rolled her eyes and stood up, saying, "You should have a good rest. Stay in Beizi Town tonight. Tomorrow..." She hesitated for a moment and said, "If you are not feeling well and don't want to go to Wanchang City, then we will go back."

"This witch feels guilty for putting me in danger this time, and she has a guilty conscience." Su Daoshan thought to himself, and just nodded without comment: "Okay."

Song Xier lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.

When the curtain fell, the light in the carriage became dim again. Su Daoshan turned his head, frowned, and stared at a wooden box in the front of the carriage with his eyes like a faint candlelight.

This wooden box is connected to the driver's seat in front of the carriage. It can be used as a seat or to store some sundries. If the driver needs it, he can just turn around and open the lid to get it. For the passengers in the carriage, it is also like a small table.

You can lean on it, sit on it, eat on it, or write letters home on the way.

With that strange thought lingering in his mind, Su Daoshan reached out and opened the lid of the wooden box.

On top of a pile of hemp ropes, horse whips, biting bits and other miscellaneous items, a puppet sign painted completely black with a hint of vermilion was lying there quietly.
