Why do I feel like something’s not quite right!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With goosebumps all over, Feng Suzhen looked at Zhang Cheng and couldn't help but ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's Huangmei opera!

I’m looking to see if there’s any firewood. Do you really think everyone likes a flat board?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking up, Zhang Cheng brushed Feng Suzhen aside: \"Move it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going to a corner, Zhang Cheng picked up some discarded wooden boards, broke them, and made a simple campfire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew this little trick entirely because before he came to the Northern Song, he loved watching videos of men fixing things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things like trimming cow hooves, Aodebiao pulling bananas, outdoor camping, and a hundred ways to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Zhang Cheng show absolutely no interest in her, Feng Suzhen didn't know why, but she suddenly felt a bit angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because even if she didn't understand what \"flat board\" meant, she could see the disdain in his eyes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cousin, the rain outside is getting so heavy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bringing in a pot of water, the cigarette in Situ Yaozu’s hand was completely soaked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Situ Yaozu, Zhang Cheng quickly handed him a bath towel from his storage space: \"Wipe yourself off first, don't catch a cold!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, cousin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking the towel, Situ Yaozu hurriedly began to wipe his dripping wet hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching this scene, Feng Suzhen actually wanted to reach out too, but felt a bit embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeming to notice Feng Suzhen’s thoughts, Zhang Cheng handed her a towel backhanded: \"Here, don't catch a cold, otherwise it’ll be very difficult for us to manage!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching out to take the towel, Feng Suzhen acted haughty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Feng Suzhen, Zhang Cheng didn't say anything and turned to add wood to the campfire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting before the fire, everyone roasted their wet clothes and ate instant noodles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cousin, this braised beef noodle, where is the beef? Where is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Zhang Cheng curiously, Situ Yaozu asked in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cousin, there’s no wife in a wife cake either!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Situ Yaozu speechlessly, Zhang Cheng didn't know how to explain it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just then, Feng Suzhen, who was to the side, said with a smile: \"There are no husbands and wives in husband-and-wife lung slices either!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the one riding the white horse isn't necessarily Tang Seng!\" Situ Yaozu added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laughing happily, everyone started playing word games.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just then, a thunderclap suddenly sounded in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the huge sound, the three of them were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a cigarette between his fingers, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but poke his head out and say: \"Damn, which fellow Daoist is undergoing tribulation here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Undergoing tribulation? Could it be that there really are immortals in this world?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Zhang Cheng curiously, a look of surprise appeared on Feng Suzhen’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know about immortals, but there are definitely plenty of scumbags making vows!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sighing, Situ Yaozu spoke like an experienced person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just as they were thinking, three figures ran in through the heavy rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leading the children, a woman pulled her son and daughter and said: \"I didn't know you were taking shelter here, sorry for the disturbance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's fine, it's fine!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the other party apologize as soon as they entered, Zhang Cheng quickly stood up and said: \"Cousin, where’s the towel? Give it to her to wipe off first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here it is, cousin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Picking up the hanging towel from the side, Situ Yaozu hurriedly handed it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And seeing the actions of Zhang Cheng and Situ Yaozu, Feng Suzhen also hurriedly said: \"Sister, use mine!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, the three of you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the actions of Zhang Cheng and the others, the woman hurriedly expressed her gratitude and said: \"Dong Ge, Chun Mei, say thank you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, sister!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiding behind the woman, the children named Dong Ge and Chun Mei immediately spoke timidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're welcome!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smiling, Feng Suzhen squatted down and helped them rub their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dong Ge? Chun Mei?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the woman and the children beside her curiously, Zhang Cheng became suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Qin Huai's children seemed to be called by these names too; could she be Qin Huai?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving by the fire, smelling the aroma of the instant noodles they had just finished, Dong Ge and Chun Mei’s stomachs began to growl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slightly embarrassed, Qin Huai took out a parcel and pulled out some dry rations: \"Everyone, this is all I have. If you don't mind, please have some!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Qin Huai’s words, Zhang Cheng turned around and took out three boxes of instant noodles from his parcel: \"Eat this instead, dry rations aren't easy to digest!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can I! I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Zhang Cheng awkwardly, Qin Huai hurriedly refused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just then, Zhang Cheng tore open the packaging: \"It’s already torn open, it can't be saved anymore!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Expressing her gratitude, Qin Huai also pulled Dong Ge and Chun Mei to thank them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, watching Dong Ge and Chun Mei eating the instant noodles as if they wanted to stick their heads inside, Qin Huai blushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because she had never eaten anything like this either; it was just too fragrant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister, did you come from Bianjing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Qin Huai curiously, Feng Suzhen asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I originally wanted to bring the children to find their father, but...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking bitterly, a look of sadness appeared on Qin Huai’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And seeing Qin Huai like this, Zhang Cheng understood; she really was Qin Huai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if he wasn't mistaken, the people chasing her should be arriving soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thunderclap resounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the Mountain God Temple, a figure walked in slowly, but immediately froze in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he was none other than Han Qi, the household general of Chen Shimei, sent to hunt down Qin Huai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after entering, he discovered that it wasn't just Qin Huai and the children here, but also three strangers!\u003C\u002Fp>",1362,"2026-06-18T01:05:47.158Z","2026-06-18T03:13:38.468Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","f82e1a5d91e2ce0b00ef2b1a051c227c93e01fa8e11d44650ca3f3f9af2e02b2","the-evil-force-roaming-the-heavens-chapter-7","the-evil-force-roaming-the-heavens-chapter-5",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frogue-evil-forces-across-the-heavens-cover.jpg"]
