Chapter 2353: Chapter 2165: Understanding You (Part 6)
"I don’t know either. If the water there can indeed help me concoct elixirs, I might stay for ten days or half a month. But if the water there doesn’t have any effect, I might return the same day," Song Xiaodong said.
"How much change of clothes should I prepare for you then?" Song Xiaoru asked Song Xiaodong.
"Not too much, it’s too inconvenient to carry too many things to such a far place," Song Xiaodong said.
"Alright, alright, I know. Every time you go out, you tell me not to pack too much, and then complain about what I didn’t pack when you’re gone!" Song Xiaoru said with grievance.
"I won’t, I won’t!" Song Xiaodong denied.
The next morning, Song Xiaodong called Dragon Three, drove an off-road vehicle, and started loading up the car.
"Sis, why did you pack so many things for me!" Song Xiaodong asked Song Xiaoru while looking at the four huge suitcases upstairs.
"It’s such a far place, such cold weather, and you don’t know how long you’ll actually stay in that place, so I prepared some extra things for you. They’re all thick cotton clothes and stuff, like wool blankets, coats, hats, socks, shoes, and stuff. You are so strong, can’t you carry just these four suitcases? Besides, you’re driving there," Song Xiaoru said, her words in the morning were completely different from last night’s.
"But it’s not just luggage; I also have to bring my alchemy tools!" Song Xiaodong said to Song Xiaoru.
"Xiaodong, are you planning to bring your alchemy furnace?" Li Sijie asked Song Xiaodong.
"Of course, I have to bring it. If I don’t, what will I use for alchemy? An electric frying pan?" Song Xiaodong said to Li Sijie.
"That furnace of yours is so large and thick, and it’s made of copper. You’re going to transport it such a long distance!" Li Sijie said to Song Xiaodong.
"Ah, you guys! This isn’t a furnace; it’s called a cauldron, like the one Xiang Yu could lift!" Song Xiaodong shook his head and said to Li Sijie.
"Cauldrons were originally used for cooking, weren’t they!" Li Sijie said to Song Xiaodong.
"..." Song Xiaodong used an ellipsis to express his feelings at that moment.
The things Song Xiaoru packed for Song Xiaodong were indeed too much. The off-road vehicle didn’t have a trunk, so there wasn’t much space. Just the things Song Xiaoru insisted on him bringing filled the back seats completely, and Song Xiaodong’s alchemy cauldron could only be placed in the front passenger seat, so the car could only be driven by one person.
"Sis, look at all the stuff you packed for me! Now the things are taken, but there’s no room for me in the car!" Song Xiaodong asked Song Xiaoru with a laugh.
"Then just take the train. Let Dragon Three drive the car and transport the stuff!" Song Xiaoru said.
Thus, it was decided that Dragon Three would drive the off-road vehicle straight to Longpan Mountain.
While Song Xiaodong went to the train station to buy a ticket.
Song Xiaodong’s family actually had more than a dozen cars, but each one was worth 10 million yuan. He really wasn’t willing to drive such luxury cars to a bumpy place like Longpan Mountain. If he drove there, after the trip, there would surely be scratches all over the chassis.
The railway leading to Longpan Mountain runs through vast mountains and deep forests. It was already late autumn; there was hardly anything left but gray-yellow stalks in the fields, and black smoke and flames rising from the burned stalks scattered everywhere.
Looking at the vast scenery of Minghe in late autumn, everything was gray-yellow, barren and devoid of scenic beauty, except for the occasional pine forest, which still struggled to maintain some green.
Song Xiaodong hadn’t taken a train in a long time, so Xiao Yingying carefully picked a window seat for him.
Song Xiaodong quietly sat by the window, looking outside at the scenery flashing past him. Soon, he became eye-weary and began to practice the Cultivation Technique taught by Wang Xinyi.
After meditating for a while, Song Xiaodong’s thoughts were interrupted by the sound of women talking. He opened his eyes to see two young, very pretty, and stylishly dressed girls each carrying a large suitcase sitting opposite him.
Their makeup styles were very different. The taller girl had brown curly hair and bright lip gloss, while the shorter one had long black straight hair and seemed unadorned.
"Hey, can you help us put our luggage up there?" the tall curly-haired girl asked Song Xiaodong with twinkling eyes.
A simple task, Song Xiaodong quietly lifted the tall girl’s huge suitcase with one hand, placing it on the luggage rack above the four people, then effortlessly lifted the shorter girl’s luggage with the other hand, placing it on the rack as well.
"Wow, guys really are strong!" the tall curly-haired girl smiled at Song Xiaodong.
Song Xiaodong nodded slightly and returned to his seat, continuing to gaze out the window at the scenery.
After another stop, a man about the same age as Song Xiaodong, slender, dressed in a black suit and dragging a large suitcase, came up and sat in the empty seat next to Song Xiaodong.
This bamboo-like man struggled to lift his suitcase, wobbling as he tried to place it on the luggage rack above Song Xiaodong and the two girls.
