Chapter 2000: Snow Drifting, Borrowing Lodging at Chen Family Village

General Wujing looked at Sun Wukong, a smile appearing on his face, his lips pale, and said, "I'm fine, Eldest Senior Brother, I'm okay."

Fahai scanned Tianpeng and Wujing and said, "It's starting to snow. We must hurry into this village and find a household to borrow a place to stay."

Thus, the group walked toward the village.

They went directly to the front of the village. There was a household here that looked very simple, with four earthen walls covered with some thatch.

Fahai looked back at the others, walked to the front, and knocked on the door.

The person who opened the door was a man who looked to be only twenty or thirty years old, but he had a full beard and a decadent look on his face.

"This benefactor, greetings. We are monks from the Great Tang of the East, heading to obtain scriptures, and we would like to borrow a place to stay for the night. I wonder if it is convenient?"

Fahai showed a smile on his face and said very politely.

The man looked at Fahai, his expression unchanged. Then he saw Sun Wukong, Marshal Tianpeng, and General Wujing behind him.

"Ah, demons! Demons!"

The man was so shocked that his mouth opened wide, and he hurriedly tried to close the door.

Fahai was quick-witted and quickly stopped him from closing the door. With a smile still on his face, he said, "This benefactor, they are not demons; they just look a bit scary."

The man looked at Fahai with lingering fear. The few people in front of him, except for Fahai who looked like a human, the others really did make mortals afraid.

However, a look of sadness then appeared in the man's eyes. He said, "I am all alone now. My son and daughter are both gone, and my wife has run away. I don't even have enough to eat myself, and there is no guest room for you to rest. You should look for another house."

Seeing the man's decadent state, Fahai was very confused in his heart. He didn't know how his son and daughter were gone, nor did he know how his wife ran away.

And these were clearly not convenient to ask. Seeing how simple his house was, it was indeed not convenient to let them stay, so Fahai said, "In that case, sorry to disturb you!"

Then, Fahai turned around. The man looked at Sun Wukong and the others again and then closed the door.

"It sounds like this man has become increasingly depressed after his family was broken, which is why this house is so dilapidated, right?"

Marshal Tianpeng looked back at the house and said.

"That is so. He is still very young and suffered such a blow; I'm afraid he can't bear it for a while. I hope he can untie the knot in his heart one day."

Fahai sighed and said calmly.

Fahai and his group continued forward and arrived at the center of the village. There was a household that looked like a wealthy family. In this night, large lanterns were still hanging in front of the door.

The cold wind whistled, and goose-feather snow was already falling from the sky.

Marshal Tianpeng shivered and said hurriedly, "My injury can barely hold up, but looking at Old Sha, I estimate he won't be able to stand for long. Let's hurry and find a house to rest."

Fahai stood in front of this household's door, seemingly hesitating for a moment, and then he said, "Alright, then I will go knock on this household's door."
