“From now on, your name will be Gao Zhijian,” Li Huowang said to the fool carrying a wooden stick in front of him.
“I…I…I,I…”
Li Huowang reached out and pressed down his thick fingers pointing at his chest.
“Farewell to me, remember, you will no longer be called a fool, this will be your name from now on, Gao Zhijian, do you hear me?”
“Don’t you know how to read? Break off a branch and write it on the ground several times until you remember it completely.”
“Oh…” The fool, who had no decision-making power over his own name, turned around and walked into the woods dejectedly.
Li Huowang looked at his tall back and sighed softly.
“No matter what. Since I said I would give him a name before, I naturally have to do it and treat it as a gift from his resurrection.”
In fact, Li Huowang has wanted to name the fool for a long time. After all, fools always come and go, and it is really unpleasant to call him.
It’s just that I haven’t thought of a suitable name since I came out of the reed island, so I put off picking it until now.
A fool lacks intelligence, so Li Huowang named him Gao Zhi, hoping that this guy could make up for it from his name.
As for the final strength, it was Li Huowang’s expectation for him, hoping that he could persevere in the face of his miserable life.
“Senior Brother Li! Senior Brother Li! Please give me another name. It’s ugly to call him a fool, and it’s not good to call me a Gouwa.”
Li Huowang, who frowned slightly, turned to look at the young man with sinister eyebrows beside him.
“He doesn’t have a good brain, so don’t you have a good brain? How can such a big man not even come up with his own name?”
As he spoke, Li Huowang walked towards the bonfire, but Gouwa was chasing after him.
“Oh, Senior Brother Li, don’t you know the words? You must be better at naming than me, a cowherd.”
“I’m not greedy, just give me a famous name, the bigger the better.”
Li Huowang smiled. “Oh, you still want to be famous. If I call you Cao Cao, will you be able to control me?”
Gouwa obviously didn’t understand what Li Huowang meant. He clapped his hands excitedly and jumped up.
“Okay! Cao Cao is a good name, it sounds festive! I will be called Cao Cao from now on!”
Before Li Huowang could say anything else, Gou Wa quickly ran into the crowd and excitedly announced his new name to them.
Of course the others didn’t understand the meaning behind the name, so they all stood up to congratulate him.
Looking at the funny scene in front of him, Li Huowang shook his head speechlessly.
Looking up at the increasingly bright sky, Li Huowang said: “Stop the ink stains and keep going. We will try to reach the town today.”
“When we get to town, let’s have a good meal. Have we eaten enough wild vegetables these days?”
This sentence instantly cheered everyone up and kept swallowing their saliva.
Before, the dry food fell into the water together with the donkey cart.
They had a lot of gold, but they had no access to villages or shops and no one sold them food.
Without food, I could only eat wild vegetables like the old monk. Along the way, my face was stained with wild vegetables, not to mention that sometimes I couldn’t even eat enough wild vegetables.
The Yaoyin people, who had collectively lost weight due to hunger, strode forward with the desire for food.
Perhaps because there was food hanging in front, the half-day journey took only two hours to arrive.
At the foot of a tall mountain covered in clouds and mist, there is a lively town.
This town is even a little too lively. Li Huowang and others squeezed in, and it was difficult to even stay.
He turned his head slightly to avoid an approaching pole, and quickly raised his right foot to avoid stepping on the chicken feces on the ground.
Li Huowang walked inside despite the stalemate of salesmen all around.
“Is this a good place? Why are there so many people?”
The originally narrow stone brick road was now filled with sellers and buyers, haggling loudly.
Those who sell home-made bamboo baskets, game caught in the mountains, and home-grown vegetables.
There are people selling chickens, dogs, and even saplings.
The voices of these sellers and buyers were buzzing loudly, and Li Huowang felt like there were a thousand flies spinning around him.
“Senior Brother Li, I know Cao Cao! There is a big market today on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so people from all over the country have come back from the market.” Gou Wa explained at the side.
Li Huowang nodded clearly. He almost forgot about this. People here would gather in large numbers.
On the first and fifteenth day of every month, people will spontaneously gather in one place to form a market and conduct mutual transactions.
Looking at the lively crowd, Li Huowang suddenly felt an impulse in his heart,
He wanted to ring the bell to see how many masters there were in this big gathering.
But this is just a thought. I am no longer a child and have more important things to do now.
Li Huowang’s gaze gradually raised, past the dense crowd and the buildings in the distance, and finally settled on a tall mountain peak.
This is Henghua Mountain. The nunnery on this mountain is Li Huowang’s destination. They might be able to get rid of the Danyang Zi that is gradually eroding their bodies.
Li Huowang was about to walk forward when he saw everyone else stopping at the same time in front of a stall.
These people stared directly at the things placed above, and the corners of the idiots’ mouths stretched out so long.
“What is this?” Li Huowang walked over, tapped on the browned round cake, and smelled the aroma of wheat.
“Senior Brother Li, this is a pot helmet, it’s edible.”
Bai Lingmiao tried hard to hold back her saliva, but in the end she couldn’t hold it back.
Looking at their helpless looks, Li Huowang couldn’t help but feel a little sad. After all, these people are a bunch of pitiful people.
Li Huowang took out some gold jewelry from the fool’s package, and quickly cut it into small sections of golden beans with a long sword that was as sharp as iron.
“Buy, everyone, we have money now, we can buy whatever we want in this market!”
Putting golden beans in the hands of everyone except Gao Zhijian.
Everyone’s face was flushed with excitement and couldn’t help themselves.
Looking at the Yaoyin who were trying to get rich, they rushed to the nearby stalls and bought all kinds of things that they might or might not need.
Li Huowang glanced at Gao Zhijian, who was chewing on a pot helmet next to him, and said, “Follow me. Now that you have money, of course the car will have to be replaced with a cannon.”
Not long after, two brand new carriages appeared next to Li Huowang.
The horses are tall, strong and very smart. As long as Li Huowang pulls the reins gently, they will follow steadily without running around at all.
This is completely incomparable to the two sickly old stubborn donkeys before.
When the others who had finished shopping gathered near the carriage, Li Huowang noticed that all their clothes and shoes had been replaced with new ones.
And there are all kinds of food in his arms, even Bai Lingmiao is no exception.
Everyone’s face is filled with joy, and you can imagine that they are really happy now.
