Infinite Flow: An Invitation from World B

Chapter 85 Exploiting Freebies

Le Zheng Fengye continued to pour wine for the servant, and when he saw that the wine bottle was empty, he ordered another pot.

"By the way, which relatives are you two visiting this time? I might be able to give you some directions."

"We've found it; they're just bored at home and came out for a walk."

Lezheng Fengye changed the subject from the servant's question and continued to ask:

"Young man, I just took a stroll around the village, why is it so quiet in the back?"

The servant's eyes widened slightly upon hearing this.

"Sir, it's best not to wander around the village unless you have to, as the houses are all uninhabited."

"Where did everyone go?" Jianyu pressed.

"They're dead. It happened several years ago. A lot of people died inside."

Later, everyone thought the houses in the village were haunted, so no one lived there anymore. Now those houses are used to store goods.

At this point, the servant leaned closer to the two and whispered, "Some of these goods aren't exactly genuine."

"Young man, don't leave things half-said."

Seeing that the servant wanted money again, Le Zheng Fengye's face fell. He had other uses for his money and needed to spend it sparingly.

The servant was quick-witted. Seeing that Yue Zheng Feng Ye clearly didn't want to give any more, he wisely stopped.

"Hey, it's really nothing serious, just a bunch of dead people."

I haven't read many books, so how would I know what those things were used for?

"That's a bit of a tangent, let's not get back to that. Young man, do you know the owner of the second camel on the left outside the shop?"

Le Zheng Fengye poured the rest of the wine into the servant's cup; he didn't drink a single drop himself.

He dared not drink alcohol; he had to stay sober at all times.

"Oh, that...it looks like Anyanda's camel, what's wrong?"

The servant was already half-drunk and his speech was incoherent.

"I want to buy his goods. Can you help me find this person?" Yue Zhengfengye said.

"Alright." The servant swayed as he got up, looked around, and then walked toward a table of people in the distance.

After he gestured a few times to the people at that table, the three Hu people looked towards where Lezheng Fengye and Jian Yu were.

After exchanging a few more words with the servant, the Hu man sitting opposite him got up and walked over with the servant.

With the servant's lead, the Hu man was quite willing, and after being persuaded by Lezheng Fengye, the transaction was completed.

Now that the fleecing had been completed, Le Zheng Feng Ye exchanged a few polite words with the servant and then left the tavern with Jian Yu.

The two stood on the street, gazing into the depths of the village. After a long while, Jianyu spoke up, "Let's go, let's wait for her in the car for a while."

Seeing that Jian Yu had no intention of rescuing Ruan Jiaojiao, Le Zheng Fengye turned and walked towards the village entrance.

Just kidding, he doesn't want to be a hero in the middle of the night.

............

Su Zixu paced back and forth in the room. The twilight outside was fading, but there was still no movement in the courtyard.

Just as he was wondering if Yue Zheng Fengye was already dead, footsteps finally sounded outside the house.

Su Zixu slid in and appeared in front of the door, where Le Zheng Fengye's figure appeared through the crack in the door.

"Bo Bo Chicken - Ah Bo Bo Chicken, one yuan a skewer of chicken in a pot."

Le Zheng Feng Ye sang the pre-arranged code between the three of them while knocking on the door, the rhythm being one short, two long, and two short.

After exchanging the secret code, Su Zixu pulled Yue Zheng Fengye into the house and then quickly closed the door.

Su Zixu: "I thought you had died out there."

Le Zheng Feng Ye: "Tch, you underestimate this old man too much. How is Lin Tian?"

"Yes, she's alright, but it was a close call."

Then, Su Zixu truthfully repeated what Lin Tian had told him.

Le Zheng Fengye: "Two people... Li Zheng is ruthless. Ruan Jiaojiao hasn't come back, so three people in one night..."

Su Zixu: "Including Dou Xiang and Zhang Jingjing, there are 5 people in total."

"I bought the supplies for the ritual tomorrow afternoon. Let's give it a try. Liu Jia can't do the mission in that state; she's a ticking time bomb and very dangerous for us."

Le Zheng Fengye's expression was not good. The losses were much more serious than he had imagined. If things continued like this, the dream would end before everyone was gone.

Afterwards, Le Zheng Feng Ye analyzed the two tasks for the evening with Su Zixu.

As they were talking, a maid from the manor suddenly came into the courtyard.

The maidservant stood outside and said, "We are grateful for your help tonight. We would like to ask all of you to gather in the front courtyard square immediately."

In the square, Su Wang looked extremely pale. The fact that the butler had gathered them here at this time meant that tonight's mission was over, and Wen Zhunian and Ruan Jiaojiao must be gone.

Zhao Hu and Su Wang didn't get along. When he saw Le Zheng Feng Ye arrive, he pulled Le Zheng Feng Ye away and told him about the afternoon's greetings in private.

Seeing that Zhao Hu was so straightforward, Yue Zheng Feng Ye also shared his experiences from the previous night with him.

Li Zheng was the last to arrive. He strolled leisurely over to Su Wang and asked lazily:

"Hey, why are you all alone? Where are the others from your courtyard?"

"What were you thinking? Sending two newbies on a mission? Are you afraid of dying?"
