Chapter 54 Headless Corpse
The old fortune teller lowered his head and counted the money he earned today in his wallet.
Before it arrived, half of the bag was already filled, and he was so happy that he grinned.
"Hey, it's almost time, are you scared?"
"That little doll is telling the truth."
The melon farmer looked at the fake sophistication of the laughing chicken thief and couldn't help but joke.
"You believe what a kid says nonsense!"
The fake old man who was disturbed gave the melon farmer a dissatisfied look, and he put the money away and hid it in his lapel.
"Not always."
The melon farmer became interested and said jokingly, "This child's words are the most eloquent. I heard that the younger he is, the more effective he is."
"Old people say that when people were reincarnated in previous lives, they still had some Yin Qi in their bodies and could see things that ordinary people couldn't see."
"Perhaps, that young lady just saw that your hall was darkened, and she kindly came to remind you."
"Go, go, go! I still..."
The old fortune teller was just about to say something when he suddenly saw a scholar who seemed to be looking at his stall. After looking at it several times, he slowly walked over.
The old farmer selling melons naturally noticed the customers coming to his door.
He quickly greeted loudly, "Come and take a look at the sweet and juicy summer melon!"
With shouts and shouts, the row of stalls was soon filled with people.
Soon, the fake old man and the melon farmer completely forgot about the previous episode.
Both of them were busy greeting the guests.
Suddenly, a gust of cool wind blew by, adding a touch of coolness to the hot air.
The old farmer was busy selecting summer melons for his customers when a red melon suddenly fell in front of his eyes.
I thought some naughty child picked up his melon and broke it while I wasn't paying attention.
Taking a closer look, this is not a summer melon, it is clearly a bloody human head!
The old farmer sat down on the melon stall, his face pale and his whole body trembling. He stared at the stuck head for a long time and could not say a word.
He knows this person!
It's the old fortune teller from the stall next door!
"ah--!"
The customers gathered in front of the stall were frightened by the heads falling from the sky and fled in all directions.
Several women were so frightened that they fainted.
"ah--!!"
Another scream came from the fortune-telling stall next to it.
The scholar who was telling fortunes didn't react at all when the fake master's head broke up.
It wasn't until the hot blood spurted from the opponent's headless neck that it splashed all over his head and face that he sluggishly screamed out.
The vendors and pedestrians along the street were frightened and screamed by the sudden scene.
The crowd panicked and began to flee in all directions. People were squeezing and stepping on each other, and it was chaotic for a while.
Only the headless corpse lay quietly on the fortune-telling table.
The blood slowly flowed out, soaking the Bagua scriptures on the table and the few taels of silver in the body's arms.
…
"Brother Xiaojiu, Aunt Wu's scallion pancake is the best in Fengcheng. You must try it!"
Su Qingtian stood obediently by the stove, stretching her neck to watch Mrs. Wu frying scallion pancakes.
The aroma came in waves, and the little girl couldn't stop drooling from watching it.
Xiao Nan couldn't help but try to smell the fragrance wafting in the air after listening to her sweet sister's words.
Really, it smells so good...
Xiao Nan originally had little interest in eating. He felt that practicing martial arts and strengthening his body was the first priority.
Ever since I got my sweet sister, I have learned that there are only two things my sister likes the most - eating delicious food and sleeping well.
He also began to pay attention to what delicious and fun things there were in Fengcheng, and wanted to bring them all to Su Qingtian.
Several pedestrians suddenly hurried past the stall. Something seemed to have happened at the other end of the street, which made Mrs. Wu, who was frying the pancakes, look up.
I saw many pedestrians walking towards this direction in a hurry, and some diners who were eating in front also put down their food, got up and ran away.
Lu Wuming immediately placed his sword at his side in a vigilant manner, protecting Su Qingtian and Xiao Nan in his arms.
The alley was not wide, and he was afraid that there would be too many commotions and the two young masters would be scattered or bumped into each other.
Aunt Wu neatly placed the fried scallion pancakes in the paper bag and handed them to Su Qingtian lightly.
"Hold it, little girl, it's a bit hot."
Su Qing nodded her head at the dessert and gave it to Xiao Nan first. She obediently waited for the next one to be served.
Xiao Nan happily took the "first" scallion pancake given to him by his sweet sister, bubbling with happiness!
The delicious scallion pancake stall is naturally famous.
The stall was originally run by Aunt Wu and her husband.
At this time, her husband had not returned from shopping, so she was very busy at the stall alone.
When the third scallion pancake was put into the pan, a strong man walked into the back of the stall carrying two sacks and a backpack. He was Aunt Wu's husband.
Putting all the items on the ground, the man took out a basin of fermented dough from the basket.
"What happened over there?"
Aunt Wu asked curiously in a low voice while making room for her husband to take over.
"It seems like someone died."
The strong man didn't want to scare away the guests, so he kept his voice extremely low.
"All the officials are here, and they have surrounded a large area and are searching."
These words frightened Aunt Wu, and the scallion pancake in her hand shook and almost fell out of the pan.
"What?!"
As she hurriedly played with the fried pancakes that were not yet thoroughly fried, Aunt Wu muttered uneasily.
"The case of Wang Liu's murder of her husband has just been concluded, so why does another one die now?"
"The world of Dongfang City has been so evil lately. Why do murders happen every few days?"
"cough……"
The strong man coughed, telling his wife to be careful with her words.
Pouring her lips, Mrs. Wu turned over the fried golden scallion pancakes and continued to ask.
"Who is this person? Did you see him when you came here?"
"Who looks at that unlucky thing!"
The strong man glared at his wife with dissatisfaction, and while kneading and dividing the dough, he lowered his head and said, "It's because an old fortune teller died."
"I heard that the old man was doing divination when he died, and then his head fell off his body..."
"ha?!"
Aunt Wu was so frightened that the strong man waved his hands in fear of scaring his wife.
"Don't say it anymore. You are afraid that I won't tell you anything about it in the future!"
The frightened Aunt Wu also calmed down and focused on making cakes.
Lu Wuming and Xiaojiu were both stunned by the couple's rambling words.
I looked up at the sky and saw that it had just passed...
Their eyes fell on Su Qingtian in unison.
She was busy reaching out and taking the last scallion pancake from Aunt Wu's hand.
His big round eyes were full of scallion pancakes, and a drop of saliva almost flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
The hot cake was tossed back and forth in her delicate white hands several times, and she refused to let go.
The little girl puffed up her cheeks and blew hard. Seeing that the heat of the pancake had subsided a little, she quickly opened her mouth and took the first bite she had been waiting for for a long time.
Uh~~~
smell good……
Su Qingtian tasted the long-awaited delicacy with a happy face.
"There are candied haws on a stick over there!"
Xiao Nan saw a bunch of red candied haws with sharp eyes, pointed at Su Qingtian and asked, "Sister Tiantian, do you want to eat it? Brother Nan will buy it for you."
"No."
Unexpectedly, the little girl shook her head and refused, "It's almost time, we should go home."
Xiao Nan completely ignored the time in Su Qingtian's mouth and nodded directly in agreement.
As long as I'm with my sweet sister, I can go anywhere.
As the Spring Festival holiday approaches, I wish all my ladies and brothers a happy New Year, a smooth life, and more money in my pockets~~~
Thanks to linG Chen Ling Dian, Yu Xi Wan Si for the reward~, eh~
