Chapter 115 Going Home
The meal with the group from Journey to the West lasted until evening, and in the end, everyone except a few who didn't drink passed out.
As they were leaving, Nezha, in his three-headed, eight-armed form, flew out carrying a drunkard in each hand. The shop owner saw them off at the door, beaming with joy.
How could it not be spectacular? The entire hot pot restaurant's inventory was emptied. When Bai Jie saw the bill, he immediately blurted out, "Holy shit!"
A few days later, the three Pixiu finished their business in Kyoto, said goodbye to the group of Fei Ren Zai, and set off home with Xiao Yun and Mian Hua.
Under the azure sky, two white clouds streaked past in long white trails.
The mountains, forests, fields, and streams receded below. Bai Jie sat on Xiao Yun's back, a strong wind blowing in his face, forcing him to squint.
As expected, the Bixie Jiyun was much more stable than the Tianlu, and Baijie felt that his fear of heights had been cured.
He glanced to the side and saw another white cloud swirling and flying, occasionally making a sudden change of direction. From there, he could vaguely hear Yue Tian's terrified screams.
With a new mode of transportation, they gave up the high-speed rail and chose to drive home entirely on clouds.
This time, Bai Jie learned his lesson and refused to sit with Tian Lu, that scoundrel. It was a real hardship for Yue Tian, who threw up his entire breakfast and vomited all the way home.
Shortly after,
Caiyun Village came into view, and as the distance closed, Tianlu Bixie descended on a cloud.
As soon as it landed, Yue Tian rolled down from the clouds and vomited profusely; this time it was yesterday's dinner.
"Hey, hey, hey, what's wrong, Brother Yue?!"
A surprised voice came, and two beasts ran from the village gate to the front. They were Huang Jiu and Fei Fei, and it was Huang Jiu who spoke.
They received the news and came to the gate in advance to pick up the beasts, while the other beasts did not come because they had their own things to do.
Huang Jiu helped Yue Tian up and asked, "?"
"What happened, Yue-ge? Why are you vomiting like this?"
"fine."
Yue Tian got up and wiped the corner of her mouth.
"The second-in-command is flying too fast, I'm dizzy from the swaying."
“You should say he was driving too fast and you couldn’t control yourself,” Fei Fei interjected.
All the beasts looked at her: What kind of lewd words are these?
"Oh, by the way, were these your old mounts?"
Feifei subtly changed the subject.
Tianlu nodded subconsciously upon hearing this.
"Yes, that's right. The one that wards off evil is called Little Cloud, and mine is called Cotton. It's just that it's not very obedient."
He pointed towards the evil spirit and then stepped on the cloud beneath his feet.
Simultaneously, patterns of tiny figures waving appeared on the white bodies of Cotton and Little Cloud.
"I'm surprised that your cloud isn't the name of a food."
Feifei waved its paw at the two clouds and said to Tianlu.
Tianlu tilted his head.
"We couldn't think of a suitable name at first, um...right! Now we have a suitable name for him!"
When the cloud was named, this food did not yet exist in the mortal world.
Tianlu was named that because he felt like he was lying on cotton when he was lying on the clouds, while Bixie was named even more casually.
Originally, Tianlu hadn't thought about changing his name after reuniting with his mount, but Feifei's reminder made him remember and he immediately prepared to change his name.
"Hehe, then you can call it that from now on, it sounds soft and delicious."
Tianlu patted the cloud beneath his feet, looking quite pleased with his cleverness.
Next second,
With a thud, Tianlu was thrown to the ground by cotton—no, I mean, he fell to the ground.
"Ouch! You dropped me again!"
Tianlu cried out in pain, then angrily jumped up to confront his mount, but by then the mount had already flown to a height beyond his reach.
"Get down here!"
Tianlu bared his teeth and brandished his claws at the sky.
Not to be outdone, a line of words appeared on its body, the font large, bold, and slightly distorted, revealing a deep provocation.
"You, come up here!"
"Aaaaaah, come down here if you dare!"
"Come up here if you dare!"
Seeing the beast and the cloud arguing across the distance, Feifei turned around and asked.
"So that's why his driving skills are bad?"
All the beasts looked at Bixie.
Bixie nodded and hummed in agreement. It was a miracle that Tianlu could even drive it, given how bad its relationship with its mount was.
This commotion lasted for half an hour. Once the two of them calmed down, Bixie took his younger brother and the new family member and prepared to go home first.
Feifei originally wanted to come along, but after being scared away from home by the little sparrow, she got bored with being the only cat at home, so she decided to stay in Caiyun Village for the time being.
She also got a job as a production manager at Puss in Boots, which basically means buying lunchboxes.
Now that the three Pixiu have returned, she naturally wants to go back with them, but she has been refused.
Bai Jie said: You're like a time bomb, you left and now you want to come back? You're dreaming.
Of course, he didn't say it directly, but expressed it in a roundabout way.
Although Bai Jie and Fei Fei have a good relationship, it's better to send this kind of guy who acts just as unrestrained in real life as he does online to harm others, rather than dragging himself down with them.
Suburbs of the city
A bus was driving along the road, the surrounding scenery receding into the distance, the houses and streets gradually changing from old to bustling.
The bus slowly came to a stop at the terminal station.
The car door opened, and people who had been waiting at the door got off one after another. When most of the people had left, a dog with a body made of hay dragged a suitcase off the bus.
"Finally arrived, in the new city."
He looked around, feeling lost in the unfamiliar surroundings. He couldn't help but recall his experience of being forced to leave his original city, and he gritted his teeth in anger.
"You despicable humans! I will never let you get away with this!"
At first...
"Straw hat vendor, someone has reported you for fraud. Your items will suddenly catch fire. Please come with us."
The straw dog pedaled wildly, managing to make a dilapidated tricycle feel like a high-speed thrill ride.
Behind him, a police car was in hot pursuit, its loudspeaker repeatedly playing the pre-recorded lyrics from its window.
"Damn humans!"
The straw dog looked back, cursed loudly, and pedaled even faster, almost leaving afterimages.
"I will definitely take my revenge, you just wait!"
Time returns to now,
Various images flashed through the straw dog's mind, and his anger nearly set him ablaze. Then, he actually set himself on fire.
A small flame flared up, flickered slightly, and then spread rapidly along the dry grass, quickly engulfing the entire body.
A surge of heat washed over him, and the straw dog's angry expression froze instantly.
Am I asleep again?
"Holy crap! What's wrong with this dog?!"
A gasp came from behind, and the straw dog instinctively turned around.
The bus driver frantically pulled out a fire extinguisher and turned off the safety pin.
With a soft "poof," the straw dog was enveloped in the sprayed white powder, and the flames on its body were extinguished as soon as they began to rise.
He shook his head and looked up, only to see the bus driver wiping the sweat from his brow and saying...
"What's wrong with you? Did you carry any flammable materials with you? If I hadn't kept a fire extinguisher in my car, you'd be dead."
"I hate it so much!"
The straw dog looked resentful. In its logic, it was sprayed with dry powder because it caught fire, it caught fire because it resented humans, and it resented humans because humans hurt it, so it was all humans' fault!
The bus driver was completely baffled: What's wrong with this dog?
Finally, after the driver asked a couple of questions out of concern, Chugou's resentment subsided considerably. He then said he was fine and dragged his suitcase away.
Upon entering the city, he found a secluded hotel to stay in, preparing to start his old business of selling straw hats the next day.
He had tried other jobs, but he was fired from them all because of the high risk of fire.
The weather changed, and before we knew it, it was the height of summer, with the sun hanging in the sky, radiating intense light.
The hot weather seemed to stir the entire Caiyun Mountain Range.
"Shh, shh."
The wind blew through the treetops, causing the branches to sway slightly. The old goat moved a rocking chair and sat under his own tree to enjoy the shade, with a few rays of sunlight shining through the leaves onto him.
The old goat squinted slightly, holding a fan in his hand with a contented expression.
Suddenly,
There was a knock on the courtyard gate, and the voice of the producer from the village's film crew came in.
Is the village chief home?
"Yes, come in, the door isn't locked."
Xiaohang heard the reply, pushed open the door, and walked over to the old goat under the tree.
"What do you need an old man for?"
The old goat opened its mouth while fanning itself.
"The film crew needs to buy a batch of watermelons as props, so I came here to inquire."
"Oh, that's how it is."
The old goat nodded, unsurprised.
The crew always solves problems based on proximity. Last time, Huang Jiu and Huang Si were pulled in to be stunt doubles, and most of the extras in the crew were recruited from the Caiyun Mountains.
After considering it for a moment, the old goat was about to offer a price, but then he suddenly remembered something and his expression changed drastically.
"Wait, watermelons! My watermelon patch!"
He suddenly sat up and slapped the armrest of the rocking chair, almost straining his back.
Xiaohang was startled.
"What, what's wrong?"
"I'll go check my melon patch; if there are any left, I'll sell them to you!"
The old goat sprang up from its rocking chair, grabbed its cane leaning against a tree, and dashed out the door with incredible speed, a stark contrast to its leisurely demeanor just moments before.
He remembered that in the summer, every family's melon fields would inevitably fall victim to the mischievous children.
Originally, the risk was to be shared equally among all the melon growers, but it seems I just beat up Yue Tian a couple of days ago, so the risk is no longer shared equally!
The key issue is that I actually forgot about this and didn't go to the melon field to keep a close watch on it!
"As expected, I'm getting old and useless; my memory isn't what it used to be!"
The old goat, muttering to itself, galloped across the road like a gust of wind.
If the demon kings who ruled the mountains heard him say that, they'd probably vomit blood. You, a ruthless man who can beat us like dirt with a cane, are saying you're useless? Then what are we?!
