Chapter 123: Fighting Evil with Evil

Bai Zhi patted the bag on her bedside table and explained, "Of course I bought it."

Xie Zheng shoved the bag onto her bed and said, "These are all for you. I'm going to lie down now."

Lu Ye got up and poked his head out from the bed. "Take your things away, he won't eat them."

"It's not for you." Xie Zhen glared at him. "It's one thing to be stingy, but you won't let me buy it either."

"I'm a patient. What's wrong with me buying some snacks for the doctors who are saving lives? It's basic courtesy. Why are you interfering with this?"

Lu Ye "!!!"

After Xie Ting finished speaking, she glared fiercely at Lu Ye and quickly left.

Lu Ye looked at the large pile of snacks next to Bai Zhi and felt a little embarrassed.

"Xiaobai, I'll get you some bread."

Bai Zhi waved her hand, "No need, no need, I'm not hungry."

To get to Yunwu Mountain, you need to get off the bus in Yongning County, which is nearby.

Xie Zheng had clearly figured out the route. As they approached their stop, fearing he might be left behind, he had already packed his things and was waiting in front of Bai Zhi and the others' bunk.

It was past 9 p.m. when I got off the bus.

This place is quite remote; once you step out of the train station, you feel a sense of desolation everywhere.

Plus, it was late, and the train station felt eerie.

Bai Zhizhen was truly glad that Lu Ye had come with her.

Otherwise, it would indeed be a bit creepy for a young woman like her to be in this place so late at night.

As soon as they stepped out of the train station, several middle-aged men and women stopped them with a sign advertising a hotel.

Lu Ye shielded Bai Zhi beside him, refusing.

"We are not staying at the hotel."

"Excuse me, please move aside. We're on official business, so please don't block our way."

Lu Ye possessed a powerful aura and imposing physique. Coupled with the aura emanating from his body, the uncles and aunties who came to solicit customers were all scared away by him.

Xie Zheng followed them closely, his voice trembling.

"Bai Zhi, are you sure your grandfather is here?"

What could have driven this divine healer to come to a place like this?

Bai Zhi wasn't entirely sure at this point either.

"They should be here."

In her past life, she had heard her grandfather say that around the time of the Autumn Equinox in 1988, he was living in the Cloud and Mist Mountain, picking herbs to test the medicinal properties of a particular herb in order to treat a heart attack.

Xie Zheng became anxious.

"What do you mean 'should'? Have you never been here before?"

I suddenly regretted impulsively getting on the train!

Lu Ye glanced disdainfully at the noisy man and scoffed, "Look at your pathetic self."

"What's wrong with me? A handsome man should take care of himself when he's out and about. A rough guy like you wouldn't even get a second glance from him."

Lu Ye was disgusted by his words and said, "Get lost."

The three walked for a while and found a noodle shop that was still open.

Lu Ye ordered two bowls of noodles with minced meat sauce for him and Bai Zhi.

Xie Zheng didn't get any, so he pouted and snorted coldly. He then ordered a bowl of noodles and half a pound of pig's head meat, which he deliberately placed in front of him and Bai Zhi. "Come on, eat meat. We need to be full to have the strength to see Doctor Ye."

Bai Zhi said thank you and picked up a piece with her chopsticks.

It's not suitable to eat pig's head during hot weather.

It's too greasy.

Xie Zheng clearly couldn't eat either.

But he didn't want to lose face in front of Lu Ye, so he forced himself to finish the half pound of pig's head meat.

After the meal, we arrived at a Red Star Guesthouse, guided by the restaurant owner.

Bai Zhi was afraid that the two men would fight if they pushed their way up, so this time she went first and said, "We need three rooms."

"There are no single rooms, only two double rooms, and the rest are dormitory-style rooms."

The middle-aged woman knitting glanced up at them, her voice neither warm nor cold.

Young Master Xie, who had been pampered since childhood, asked a question that revealed his true identity: "What's a dormitory-style room like?"

The proprietress put down the sweater skewers she was holding. "Let me show you around."

“We don’t need to see him, just take him there.” Lu Ye pulled Bai Zhi back and stood still.

The landlady sent someone to take Xie Zheng to see the shared room.

As soon as the person left, Lu Ye slammed money on the table and said, "We've booked both rooms."

A room costs eight yuan. Regardless of whether it's expensive or cheap, Lu Ye quickly paid the money.

Bai Zhi stood to the side, her lips twitching slightly.

Xie Zheng still couldn't outsmart this old fox.

After booking the room, the two were about to head to their room when they bumped into Xie Zheng, who was returning from inspecting the dormitory-style rooms.

Xie Zheng pinched his nose and complained, "That's not a place for humans to live. More than a dozen people are crammed into one room, and they're all strangers. It's terrifying."

Lu Ye glanced at his naive and unworldly appearance and scoffed, "Making a fuss over nothing."

But his expression betrayed his schadenfreude.

Xie Zheng got angry.

"What do you mean I'm making a fuss? You didn't even look at it. If you had, your reaction would have been even more exaggerated than mine."

Lu Yejun remained calm.

It's just a shared dormitory.

What place hasn't he lived in?

They still spent the night among piles of dead bodies.

Xie Zheng ignored Lu Ye and looked at Bai Zhi, complaining to her, "Bai Zhi, you have no idea how filthy it is inside. The smell of feet, the smell of tobacco, and all sorts of other smells that I can't describe, it can really poison you."

Bai Zhi glanced at him sympathetically, said nothing, and walked forward with her head down.

Xie Zheng shouted to the landlady, "I don't want to stay in the dormitory, I want to book a room."

The landlady continued knitting and replied, "There are two rooms in total, but the two of you booked them together. Now we only have shared rooms available, which cost 5 yuan a night. If you want to stay, you can pay here."

"What?"

Xie Zheng felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, as if the sky were about to collapse.

The house is gone?

Should we make him stay in a dormitory-style room?

He doesn't want it.

"Boss lady, I can pay more." Xie Zheng leaned on the counter, his eyes sparkling as he looked at the boss lady, using his trump card.

No boss could resist this move.

The landlady lifted her eyelids slightly, her tone resentful, "Why didn't you say so sooner? They've already moved in."

Although he loves money, he also has professional ethics.

The proprietress looked at Xie Zheng with suspicion, "Weren't you together?"

We came in together, and we were just talking a moment ago.

"They were together."

Xie Zheng asked the landlady again, "Are there really no other rooms available?"

Not wanting to discourage him, the landlady replied tactfully, "Actually, the shared dormitory is quite nice."

Xie Zheng, “.......”

"No, no, no, I'm with them. I don't stay in the dormitory. I'll go find my brother; he's in his room."

The landlady gave Xie Zheng directions, and Xie Zheng found the door to Lu Ye's room.

He raised his hand and pounded on the door, shouting, "Open the door!"

Xie Zheng knocked for a long time, but there was no response.

Driven by the fear of living in a dormitory, Xie Zheng knocked on the door harder, "Lu Ye, I know you're in there. If you've got the guts, open the door for me. Don't play dead."

"Lu Ye, open the door."

"You won't open it, huh? I'll go knock on Bai Zhi's door. She's such a kind doctor, she'll definitely sympathize with me, a patient..."

Xie Zheng had barely finished speaking when the door was pulled open.

"You're asking for it." Lu Ye grabbed his collar.

His expression was terrifying.

"What? Scared?" Xie Zheng said, squeezing inside. "If you're afraid I'll knock on Bai Zhi's door, then you'd better let me in."

Lu Ye blocked the doorway, preventing him from entering. "Get out."

"Angelica!" Xie Zheng shouted, his neck stiff.

"Come in."

Lu Ye grabbed the person and pulled him inside.

The door slammed shut.
