Su Ying walked over slowly, and the other party jumped up from the ground in shock.

“Su Ying, Su Ying, come quickly. Come and take a look at the wooden puppet I made.” Xue Zhen pulled Su Ying to the ground and knelt down after recovering from his fright. He pointed at the wooden puppet on the ground.

Su Ying saw that the robot she had given him earlier was on the ground. Even though she gave it to him so long ago, the robot was still bright and s.h.i.+ny. It was clear that the fellow took very good care of it.

Lying next to the robot was a wooden puppet about the length of a forearm. This wooden puppet didn’t look any different from the ones he had made before.

“Is this newly made by you?”

Xue Zhen nodded excitedly. “Yes. Look, look. It can move.”

He lifted the wooden puppet up and made it stand on the ground. Then, he did something behind the wooden puppet, and the wooden puppet slowly started to walk.

“Su Ying, look, look! It’s walking! It’s walking!”

Su Ying was astounded. She stretched out her hand and made a 360-degree circle around the wooden puppet. She realized that the wooden puppet wasn’t connected to any string.

“How did you make it move?”

When Xue Zhen heard Su Ying’s question, he excitedly picked up the wooden puppet and opened its back. Under the dim moonlight, Su Ying could see that the inside of the small body was filled with mechanisms.

“Just like this. Pull this trigger, and then it can also punch. Look.” Xue Zhen triggered some sort of mechanism, and the wooden puppet threw a punch at Su Ying.

Although the wooden puppet was only as tall as a person’s forearm, it still hurt when it punched her arm!

“If only people could go inside this place where the mechanisms are, that would be great. What do you think?”

Xue Zhen looked at Su Ying with some surprise. “Why are you letting him go inside?”

Su Ying pointed at the location of the wooden puppet’s mechanism and said, “Don’t you think that if people sit inside, they won’t be afraid of being beaten when they fight?”

“Yes, yes, yes! Su Ying, you’re so smart!”

Su Ying felt that Xue Zhen was truly a mechanical genius. “Do you think what I just said can be done?”

Xue Zhen nodded his head vigorously. “Yes, yes. I will definitely be able to achieve it. I will do it tomorrow. No, I will try it now!”

As Xue Zhen said this, he eagerly picked up his wooden puppet and robot and ran back to his hut.

Su Ying shook her head as she watched him disappear. “The world is indeed beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.”

It was a dreamless night. When Su Ying woke up, Uncle Hea and the others had already prepared breakfast.

“Aunt Zhao, how are your eyes?”

Aunt Zhao placed the breakfast on the table and replied, “Much better. It doesn’t hurt anymore after I used the medicine yesterday. Mistress, can you take a look and see if the swelling has completely gone down?”

Su Ying lifted her upper eyelid and had a look. She realized that the inflammation inside had completely disappeared.

“Mm-hmm. The eyes have healed. You’ll be fine after taking another dose of medicine today for additional protection.”

Aunt Zhao laughed as she replied, “I don’t know where you got the medicine, Mistress. The effect is too good.”

“I bought it when I pa.s.sed by those cities,” Su Ying said with raised eyebrows.

Aunt Zhao didn’t doubt her. The world was so big, and there were so many things she hadn’t seen, so she would never suspect too much.

For breakfast, Uncle Hea had made beef and wild vegetable pancakes. The beef that Su Ying brought back earlier had not been completely consumed yet. She still had dozens of bisons in her interspatial store, so it should not be a problem for them to survive the winter.

“Where are you going later?” Xiao Jin asked when he saw Su Ying put down her bowl.

“To the West District.”

Xiao Jin nodded. “Alright.”

At first, Su Ying didn’t know what Xiao Jin meant when he asked her this. It was only when she was about to leave with Uncle Hea that she realized that Xiao Jin was planning to go with her.

Number One and the others were mostly injured and couldn’t train now. They would be staying at home to guard the place, so it didn’t matter if Xiao Jin went with her.

Zhao Neng drove the horse carriage to the outside of the compound. Su Ying and the others got on the horse carriage and they headed for the West District.

On the way, Su Ying noticed that there was something not quite right with Uncle Hea’s demeanor.

Ever since he took a sniff of the wine the day before, he seemed somewhat distracted. However, Su Ying didn’t expose him. Everyone had his own secrets.

Soon, the horse carriage stopped outside the West District.

Su Ying and the others got out of the carriage while Zhao Neng kept an eye on the carriage.

As soon as Xiao Jin and the others walked into the West District, their expressions clouded over.

Initially, they thought that the other parts of the Tiger Base were already very bad, but after entering the West District, they realized that the place they were staying in was considered quite good.

The situation in the West District wasn’t much different from what Su Ying had seen yesterday. She brought the two of them to the wine shop she went to yesterday.

Even though it was still early, the area outside the wine shop was already filled with people. Those people were lying on the ground in a haphazard manner and were not aware of what was happening in their surroundings at all. Each and every one of them was numb like a walking corpse.

Hea Shouyi walked up to the wine shop and his eyes became red-rimmed when he saw the man behind an ancient counter getting wine. “Brother Murong, I didn’t expect it to really be you.”

The old man who was getting wine for other people froze when he heard this. He turned his back somewhat stiffly around and looked at Hea Shouyi.

When he saw Hea Shouyi’s appearance clearly, big ripples swept across his aged eyes, which were as calm as ancient wells previously.

“Brother Hea?” Murong De pa.s.sed the wine cup to the waiter beside him as he hobbled out from behind the counter with a limp and looked at Hea Shouyi with an excited expression.

Hea Shouyi grabbed Murong De’s hand and was so agitated that he couldn’t speak.

“It’s really you! It’s really you!”

The two of them walked to the side and sat on the ground, their calloused hands gripping each other’s hands tightly.

“Brother Hea, to think that I can still see you again in this lifetime. I can really… die without regrets.”

Hea Shouyi nodded. He had not expected this either. “This is fate. Why are you here, Brother Murong?”

Murong De let out a heavy sigh when he heard that. “Isn’t it all because of that matter? Brother Hea, you are here also because of that matter, right?”

Upon hearing this, Hea Shouyi instantly fell silent.

“Things in the past have vanished like smoke. Let’s not talk about it. By the way, when did you come to the Tiger Base?” Murong De asked.

“We were exiled here not long ago. What about you, Brother Murong?”

“I probably came here earlier than you,” Murong De replied.

Su Ying and Xiao Jin were watching from the side. So Hea Shouyi was so distracted because of this old man.

“It seems like Uncle Hea knows this gentleman who sells wine?”

Su Ying’s voice interrupted the two men’s reminiscing.

Hea Shouyi stood up and said, “Brother Murong, it’s all thanks to Mistress that I’m able to make it here alive.” After he finished speaking, he looked at Su Ying and said, “Mistress, this is an old friend of mine, Murong De. He is from the Nan State.”

“The Number One Chef in the Nan State, Murong De,” Xiao Jin slowly said.

Murong De was taken aback as he looked at Xiao Jin in astonishment. It did not occur to him that there would be someone who still recognized him in this place..
