Chapter 56 Destination, Yunnan
This morning dealt a devastating blow to Huo Ling.
Huo Ling couldn't help but get goosebumps all over when she thought about what she had done and said.
At this moment, Cheng Feng left to buy materials for disguise, leaving only the two sisters, Huo Ling and Chen Wenjin, at the graveyard.
"Sister Wenjin, feel free to laugh if you want. I really embarrassed myself today!"
Huo Ling sighed to the heavens, feeling utterly hopeless. If she could, she would immediately find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Chen Wenjin quickly suppressed the smile on his lips and said seriously:
"Xiaoling, this was just an accident. We're all people of the martial arts world, we shouldn't be so formal!"
"Hearing you say that makes me feel much better."
Huo Ling lay weakly on Chen Wenjin's shoulder, but her mind began to recall the times when Cheng Feng and the others faced danger together.
Without realizing it, my gaze became fixed on him.
An hour later, Cheng Feng finally returned to the cemetery carrying a snakeskin bag.
Arriving at the tent, Cheng Feng put down his bag and said to the two women sitting next to him, "I bought the things and also brought breakfast."
Cheng Feng opened his pocket and first took out steamed buns, soy milk, and eggs, handing them to the two of them.
Then they took out a lot of bottles and jars, raw eggs, calligraphy brushes, and several packets of medicinal herbs bought from a Chinese medicine shop.
Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling ate breakfast while watching Cheng Feng use these materials to make human skin masks.
"It is said that the Xie family is particularly skilled at making human skin masks, and my mother always praises them highly when she mentions them."
Huo Ling took a sip of soy milk and said softly.
Chen Wenjin thought of Xie Lianhuan, who was disguised as Wu Sansheng, and nodded in agreement.
"It's really impressive. Even I couldn't spot the slightest flaw in Xie Lianhuan's portrayal of Wu Sansheng."
"They look so alike, I even suspect it might be Wu Laogou..."
Before Huo Ling could finish speaking, Chen Wenjin glared at her.
She didn't care about Wu Sansheng, since they were all of the same generation, but Wu Laogou was their elder, so it was a bit much to gossip about him.
While the two women were chatting, Cheng Feng's first human skin mask was roughly complete.
After setting it aside to dry, Cheng Feng began making the second one.
It wasn't until after nine o'clock in the morning that Cheng Feng finally finished getting the masks the three of them needed.
This technique of disguise is considered a peripheral element in the Mountain Moving Secret Arts, but it is an extremely practical method.
With today's underdeveloped technology, finding someone who can disguise themselves is incredibly difficult.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, three ordinary-looking, dark-skinned young men arrived at the dock, each carrying a snakeskin bag.
Along the way, they looked no different from other farmers.
Occasionally, when one of them tried to say something, he would always be interrupted by the other man who looked the tallest.
Finally, the three boarded a ship bound for Sanya.
Once aboard the boat, the three of them, like the others, took out thick blankets from their snakeskin bags.
They found a quiet spot on the deck, spread out blankets, and sat down together.
Then the shortest man leaned close to the tallest man and whispered:
"Cheng Feng, why are you going to Yunnan?"
These three were Cheng Feng, Chen Wenjin, and Huo Ling, all of whom had disguised themselves as men.
Otherwise, a combination of one man and two women would be too conspicuous.
In response to Chen Wenjin's question, Cheng Feng replied, "I'm going there to find something, and also to develop myself!"
Chen Wenjin nodded without saying anything, naturally took a farmer's lap, and sat down to rest.
Cheng Feng nodded secretly; this woman did have some talent when it came to acting.
After a day and a night of sailing, the ship finally arrived at Haikou, the main island of Hainan.
The three of them changed trains here and boarded a ship bound for Zhanjiang, Guangdong.
After a journey of more than three hours, I finally boarded a direct train to Yunnan in Zhanjiang.
The long journey had left the three of them exhausted.
Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling fell asleep as soon as they boarded the train.
A moment later, Huo Ling, playing a dark-faced man, leaned on Cheng Feng's shoulder, a sight that made the elderly couple opposite them unable to bear to look at her.
After three days of travel, the train finally arrived at its destination: Yunnan.
As they walked out of the station with the crowd, Cheng Feng led the two of them in a tricycle to the town.
When traveling to an unfamiliar place, one thing to keep in mind is to avoid staying near the train station unless there is a specific need.
After arriving in town, the three of them found a hotel nearby and booked a room.
The boss didn't find it strange. People's thinking wasn't that bizarre back then, and it wasn't unusual for three men to share a room.
Upon arriving at the room, Huo Ling collapsed onto the hard bed, saying weakly:
"All I want to do right now is get a good night's sleep. Don't wake me up unless the sky falls."
After saying that, he turned over and went to sleep without even taking off his coat.
Chen Wenjin and Cheng Feng looked at each other, and then Cheng Feng said, "Let's rest first, and we can talk about the rest after we've woken up."
There were only two hard beds in the room, one of which was currently occupied by Huo Ling, leaving only one for the two of them.
Chen Wenjin didn't mind squeezing in with Cheng Feng, because her disguised appearance gave her a great sense of security.
She simply didn't believe Cheng Feng would have any feelings for that face.
The three of them slept from around 9 a.m. until around 7 p.m. before waking up one after another.
After going out for a bite to eat, the three of them returned to their room and began planning where to go next.
"Cheng Feng, where exactly are you going? That way we can plan our route."
Chen Wenjin had experience leading archaeological teams, and before he knew it, he had taken the initiative in this operation.
Cheng Feng said somewhat embarrassedly, "I only know that the place is on the southwestern border, not far from the Nujiang Grand Canyon."
"Cheng Feng, you didn't even figure out the exact location, yet you led us on this huge journey to Yunnan?"
Because Huo Ling was wearing a mask, her words gave Cheng Feng goosebumps.
The dark-faced man spoke in a coquettish tone, which was really irritating.
"Alright, that's enough with the general location. Cheng Feng, go out and ask the innkeeper for directions. We'll set off tomorrow."
Chen Wenjin naturally assigned Cheng Feng a task, and he did so with remarkable ease.
Cheng Feng didn't think there was anything wrong with it; he couldn't very well let those two monsters go out and harm people.
So he went out to talk to the hotel owner himself.
The next morning, the three of them boarded a car bound for a small town near the Nujiang Grand Canyon.
The dirt roads at that time were incredibly bumpy, and the three of them felt like they were sitting in a mixer.
Stir the little bit of breakfast in your stomach evenly, up and down, left and right.
During this time, many of the passengers couldn't help but vomit out of the window.
Huo Ling began to feel nauseous at the sight.
"I told you to sit by the window, but please don't throw up on me!"
When Cheng Feng saw Huo Ling start to cover her mouth, he quickly opened the car window next to her, indicating that if she wanted to vomit, she should vomit outside.
