40: Zero Yuan Purchase, a Big Bang

Butler Liu frowned when he heard this. He knew that the sooner they left, the better. If they delayed any longer, there was no telling what unknown dangers might arise.

"There are not enough tickets. We have important business to attend to and need to catch this train. Can you think of a way to get enough tickets for us?" Butler Liu said to the ticket seller and handed him a few dollars.

The ticket seller looked at the few dollars in his hand, his eyes flashed with gold, and he quickly stuffed the money into his arms, and his tone of voice became much gentler.

"It's not that we don't have tickets, but they'll cost a little more!" the ticket seller said, looking at Butler Liu, waiting for his reply.

When Butler Liu heard this, his heart instantly settled down. In the current situation, things that could be solved with money were not a problem.

"As long as I can catch this train tomorrow, I'm willing to pay a little more."

When the ticket seller heard this, his face lit up with joy. He was thinking that he could get a lot of benefits after the people he introduced bought tickets.

"I only have these many tickets. You can buy them all. I'll introduce someone to you for the rest. You can negotiate with him."

After Butler Liu bought all the train tickets for tomorrow morning from the ticket seller, the ticket seller waved to the side, and soon a man in a robe came over.

"Sir, this man is called Huang Er. He sells some in-demand goods. He has train tickets."

Butler Liu and Huang Er looked at each other, and Huang Er spoke first, "Sir, this is not the place to talk. Please follow me."

Upon hearing this, Butler Liu nodded slightly, and with a few servants behind him, followed Huang Er to a relatively open space nearby.

Huang Er glanced around and saw many of his companions around him. When he didn't find anything unusual, he spoke directly.

"Sir, do you want to buy train tickets for tomorrow morning? I have quite a few, but the prices are much higher than the market price." Huang Er's voice was rough, and there was a shrewdness in his eyes.

Butler Liu's expression remained unchanged when he heard this. It was not like he had never purchased supplies from these middlemen before.

Then, Butler Liu and Huang Er bargained for some time and purchased all the owed train tickets.

Huang Er looked at the money he had obtained and a smile appeared on his face.

When Butler Liu looked at the train ticket in his hand, he finally felt relieved.

……

Fang Feifei quickly finished her lunch in the inn, told everyone that she was tired and wanted to take a nap, and asked the waiter to take her to her room.

As soon as Fang Feifei entered the room and sent the waiter away, she locked the door, expanded the space field to observe the surroundings, and when she found nothing unusual, Fang Feifei used teleportation and rushed towards the city gate.

When Fang Feifei teleported to the vicinity of the city gate, she observed the movements around her in space. At this time, the chaos at the city gate had come to an end.

The snakes that were originally chasing the little puppet were now fleeing in all directions.

There were many corpses lying on the ground, both human and snake.

Fang Feifei looked around but didn't see the little puppets that she had used insect-attracting powder on. It seemed that they had died in the snake's mouth.

The insect attracting powder lost its effect, and under the fierce firepower of humans, the snakes lost their temptation, regained their sanity, and fled in all directions.

Those little puppets lost their lives, so I guess no one remembers what happened before the snake appeared, so no one will come to cause trouble for the time being.

At this moment, Fang Feifei suddenly felt itchy. She had an urge to visit the little puppet's camp and bring back some souvenirs.

But thinking that they were going to leave by train, if she made too much noise and Little Puppet launched a large-scale search, it would affect their schedule. This would not do. Fang Feifei could only suppress her thoughts and put the overall situation first.

Fang Feifei returned to the inn and found that everyone had gone to their rooms to rest, while Butler Zhao and his friends had not returned from the train station to buy tickets.

……

At around four or five o'clock in the evening, everyone came out of their rooms one after another and went down to the lobby of the inn to have dinner. At this time, the lobby was full of people. In addition to the people from the Fang family, there were also many guests staying there.

Everyone also learned from Butler Liu that they had bought train tickets to depart early tomorrow morning.

As everyone was enjoying their dinner, they could hear the other guests' discussions. What they were discussing was the battle between humans and snakes that took place at the city gate.

Everyone was fiddling with the food in their bowls with chopsticks and listening carefully with their ears perked up.

"I heard that the snakes appeared in groups, so densely packed that it was terrifying to see." One person said in a low voice, and one could hear the fear in his words.

"Yes, I heard that someone escaped from the scene. The snakes seemed to have a target in mind, attacking the little puppet specifically and ignoring everyone else."

"It's really refreshing, why don't you bite a few more?"

"Shh, keep your voice down. If someone hears you, your life will be in danger!"

……

Everyone said something to me.

When everyone heard these words, even though they were not there in person, they felt ripples in their hearts.

Everyone enjoyed the dinner so much that they were reluctant to leave.

Early the next morning, the Fang family had breakfast at the inn, then took a horse-drawn carriage to the train station to deposit their luggage.

Because they had to store their luggage, they went out last night and bought a lot of backpacks. They packed their supplies in different ways, putting the important supplies in the backpacks and carrying the heavy supplies with them.

As he had done before, Butler Chen found someone in the city to sell the carriage and agreed to meet at the entrance of the train station to exchange the money for the goods.

The train station was bustling with people. Everyone boarded the train smoothly and sat in their seats.

The roar of the train starting was heard, and everyone looked at the moving scenery outside the window, their minds drifting away with the sound of wheels and rails colliding.

Everyone got off the train at around three in the morning of the next day, because if they wanted to go to City S, it would be best to change trains here. Otherwise, if they continued to take that train, they would be further and further away from City S.

The night was as dark as ink. After getting off the train, everyone waited in the waiting hall of the train station. It was still curfew and it was not advisable to go out. There were also many people gathered in the waiting hall waiting for dawn.

Everyone in the Fang family sat down in a corner of the waiting room, and the people around them were either chatting or resting with their eyes closed.

Butler Liu took the servants to look after their luggage, while Butler Chen went to the ticket office to check the train schedule to City S and buy tickets.

This time they were lucky. There was a train to City S at noon. At that time, there were fewer people heading south, and Butler Chen successfully bought enough train tickets.
