Strange And Troubled Times: Eternal Life Begins From Marrying A Wife

Chapter 26: Blood Feast

"Sir, why are we going to Three Harmonies County to escort the convoy?" Hu Qingya asked while handing over a package.

Inside the package were all the clothes Qin Feng had changed out of.

"I promised Captain Jiang Yong," Qin Feng sighed softly.

At this moment, he had no other choice.

After all, he had learned some secrets of the Eternal Peace Medicine Manor.

If he didn't agree to escort the convoy, Jiang Yong would definitely plot against him.

"For the days I'm away, go back to your parents' house and stay for a while," Qin Feng instructed. "I'll come back for you and bring you back."

The next day, early in the morning, Qin Feng arrived at the gate of the Liu family.

There were already several carts filled with goods in front of the Liu family, and in front of these goods was a luxurious carriage.

Next to the carriage were more than thirty strong men holding weapons, chatting and laughing.

Xiao Ma and Fan Biao were among these men.

However, Liu Xunwen and Jiang Yong were nowhere to be seen.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Jiang Yong and a middle-aged man walked out with smiles on their faces.

"Jiang, this escort mission is up to you," the middle-aged man said, bowing to Jiang Yong.

"Rest assured, Lord Liu. There won't be any problems with this escort mission as long as I'm here," Jiang Yong patted his chest and said.

"Let's go!" Jiang Yong announced the departure order.

In the next moment, the many carriages slowly started moving.

Qin Feng and the others followed behind the carriages.

After a quarter of an hour, the convoy left Eternal Peace County and headed towards the distance.

But soon, Qin Feng realized that something was wrong.

Because the route Jiang Yong was taking didn't seem like the way to Three Harmonies County at all.

Instead, it seemed to be heading towards Soft Wind Mountain.

"What is Jiang Yong trying to do?" Qin Feng's eyes were filled with doubt.

He carefully observed Xiao Ma and the others.

Xiao Ma and Fan Biao were chatting and laughing, seemingly unaware that the route was wrong.

Seeing this, Qin Feng suppressed his doubts and followed behind Jiang Yong and the others.

Half an hour later, they arrived at an abandoned village.

"Stop!" Jiang Yong shouted loudly.

Many strong men sat down on the ground to rest.

However, Jiang Yong slowly approached the carriage and spoke carefully beside it.

"Hmm?"

"Anomaly's aura?" Qin Feng's face slightly changed because he had already sensed the presence of Anomaly inside the carriage just now.

Moreover, this Anomaly's aura was very familiar.

Qin Feng seemed to have seen it somewhere before.

"Is there an Anomaly hidden in the carriage?"

"Why would Liu Xunwen transport Anomaly for no reason?"

"And since the escort mission started, Liu Xunwen hasn't appeared?"

Qin Feng spoke while carefully listening.

"How many blood feasts do we need this time?" Jiang Yong asked in a low voice.

"Three!" A familiar voice slowly came from inside the carriage.

"Is that Liu Xunwen's voice?"

"Could it be that Liu Xunwen is the Anomaly?"

Qin Feng's eyes were filled with astonishment.

From the conversation between Jiang Yong and Liu Xunwen just now, Qin Feng had already guessed most of it.

Liu Xunwen must have become a Pseudo-Corpse Anomaly.

Every once in a while, he had to consume the blood of a Martial Artist to restore his human form.

The discussion between Jiang Yong and Liu Xunwen just now was naturally about the blood feast.

At this moment, Qin Feng finally understood why Jiang Yong wanted him to participate in the escort mission.

It turned out that he was being prepared to be Liu Xunwen's blood feast.

"What a cunning plan!"

Qin Feng glanced at Jiang Yong, who was in conversation, and made a decision.

That decision was to hide first.

He didn't believe that Jiang Yong would still be waiting here.

With this in mind, Qin Feng immediately said to Xiao Ma, "Ma Ge, my stomach hurts, I need to go to the bathroom!"

"Go ahead!"

Xiao Ma nodded slightly.

Qin Feng quickly ran towards the distance.

After Qin Feng disappeared into the woods, he didn't go far, but hid in a big tree.

Not long after Qin Feng hid, Jiang Yong hurriedly ran over from a distance.

"Qin Feng, Fan Biao, Zhang Wei, the three of you escort us!"

Just as Jiang Yong was about to finish his sentence, he stopped.

Because he didn't see Qin Feng's figure.

"Xiao Ma, where's Qin Feng?"

Jiang Yong looked towards Xiao Ma not far away.

"Jiang Ge, Qin Feng went to the bathroom because of a stomachache!"

Xiao Ma explained quickly.

"Damn, why does his stomach ache at this time!"

Jiang Yong cursed angrily.

He looked in the direction of the woods, then at the carriage parked there, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Fan Biao, Zhang Wei, Wang Lei, the three of you escort the carriage to the village ahead!"

"Yes, sir!"

Fan Biao, Zhang Wei, and Wang Lei walked towards the carriage.

Soon after, the carriage slowly headed towards the village.

Watching the carriage go far away, Qin Feng finally walked out of the woods.

"Hmph!"

Jiang Yong snorted lightly, then shouted, "Qin Feng, where did you go?"

"Captain Jiang, I'm really sorry, I had a stomachache just now!"

Qin Feng apologized repeatedly.

"Hmph!"

Jiang Yong snorted again before saying, "It's getting late, let's hurry to Three Harmonies County!"

With Jiang Yong's order, the many escorts turned their heads and headed towards Three Harmonies County.

After three hours of travel, it gradually became dark.

"Set up camp!"

Jiang Yong shouted loudly.

In the next moment, Xiao Ma and many other escorts began to set up camp.

After setting up the camp, Xiao Ma brought a large pot of oil and placed it at the entrance of the camp.

"Ma Ge, why do we need to put so much oil?"

Qin Feng asked curiously.

"This is the wilderness. The Drum Maker Anomaly will only leave after drinking enough oil!"

"At least two large pots of oil are needed!"

While explaining, Xiao Ma placed another large pot of oil at the entrance.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

In the next moment, the sound of drums came from a distance.

Although it was still a distance away from Qin Feng.

With Qin Feng's eyesight, he could still roughly see the appearance of the Drum Maker Anomaly.

In addition to carrying a drum on his back, he also saw the Rat Head.

"So this is what the Drum Maker Anomaly looks like. No wonder he likes to drink oil so much!"

Qin Feng took a distant look at the Drum Maker Anomaly, then entered the tent.

Not long after, the sound of drums came from a distance again.

The next morning, Qin Feng walked out of the tent.

The oil placed at the entrance of the tent had already been used up.

"I wonder how many Drum Maker Anomalies came yesterday!"

Qin Feng's eyes were full of astonishment.

After a simple cleanup, everyone set off again with the escort.

Three days later, the group arrived safely in Three Harmonies County.

Jiang Yong was also very generous and gave each person a silver coin as a reward.

"Today is free time, relax and enjoy yourselves. Gather at the city gate tomorrow morning!"

After instructing everyone to gather at the city gate tomorrow, Jiang Yong pulled the carriage and headed towards the county office.

Xiao Ma and the others, holding their silver coins, eagerly walked towards a brightly lit building.

Qin Feng did not follow them.

He planned to buy a small gift for Hu Qingya in Three Harmonies County.

After all, as long as he maintained a good impression for two years, he could obtain the entry again.

Although Three Harmonies County was very large, there weren't many people.

There were also many beggars in the county.

Qin Feng walked around the streets and finally entered a shop selling cosmetics.

Then he bought some better clothes in a clothing store.
