Chapter 199: Disguise
The old man in front of him seemed to have a back eye, he also stopped, turned around, and looked at Su Xi calmly: "Why, I've already come here, and I'm scared when I think about it?"
Su Xi didn't speak, he stood there stubbornly and didn't move, but he scratched his heart with white claws, and he was always trying to get rid of this old man.
Because of this journey, she found that although the avenue was full of people, there were no people on the lower road and in some alleys.
Come to think of it, if she escaped from the path, she should have a chance to escape. But just by wearing his mask, he doesn't lose anything, but he won't keep chasing after him, and he may not be able to catch up with himself, so he simply won't be able to do it.
"I know you want to leave, don't worry, I'll let you go, but I'd suggest you'd better see something before you go, because maybe you'll be able to use what I can give you. The old man stared at Su Xi's eyes and said, "As for whether you believe me or not, it depends on your choice." ”
Su Xi looked at this old man, how did he feel as if he knew everything? Although Su Xi repeatedly had a business in her heart to warn her not to believe the other party's words, Su Xi still raised his foot and walked into the store.
The corners of the old man's mouth turned up, and there was a hint of triumphant smile on his face.
It's just this smile that suddenly made Su Xi regret his choice a little, but since he has already come, he might as well take a second look.
followed the old man up to the second floor and came to a room, Su Xi looked at the layout in the room, and a word reflexively appeared in his mind: disguise technique.
"This ......" Su Xi looked at the old man with an inquiring gaze, and the look on his face was both shocked and confused.
"Isn't that exactly what you need? to avoid being tracked by those people. The old man finished Su Xi's unfinished words, "I know what you have doubts in your heart. That's right, I'm a folk disguise master, making some masks on weekdays and selling them at the market, especially during this kind of festival, when I sell a lot. However, I also have a craft for eating, which is transfiguration. This is something that few people know. For, those who passed through my hand and left from this town did not say a word about my craft, or else they would have exposed themselves. ”
Su Xi heard the meaning of the old man's words.
"You mean, there are not a few people like me who are running away from people?" Su Xi was obviously a little surprised.
The old man snorted and said indifferently: "Do you think Ning Guo is safe now? Life and death are played out every day, no matter what the reason is. And I'm just giving money to these people who want to give birth, all you want is life, what I want is money, how much your life is worth, you give me as much as you want. ”
As he spoke, the old man selected the utensils from the materials on the wall and in the wooden box, and placed them on the dresser.
"Of course, I usually don't want all their belongings, but some people can't shirk all their belongings because they are grateful for my reconstruction, and they can't get rid of it. ”
When the old man praised himself, he was not ambiguous at all.
"You see the celebration outside, hmph, where are people celebrating the gods, ancestors, but just using this excuse to celebrate that they can spend a season in peace. Throughout the year, spring, summer, autumn and winter, every season, the town will hold such a similar celebration 'festival' to celebrate its luck. ”
The old man was unhurried, and after placing the last utensils on the dresser, he finished what he should have said, looked directly into Su Xi's eyes, and said, "Now, it's your turn, how do you choose?"
If this old man is placed now, he is not only suitable for business, but also suitable for storytelling, and his voice and the expression of emotions in his voice are too easy to bring people in.
Su Xi guessed that half of those who chose to change their faces in the end were forced to flee for their lives, and the other half may have been fooled by the old man's words.
Su Xi looked at everything that the old man had prepared in front of the dresser, and swallowed: "Don't think that if I am a layman, you can lie to me, in case you do something on my face, I have a loss, is it possible to give you money? My face is a priceless treasure, but not anyone can do anything on it." ”
If from the perspective of Su Xi's identity, the face of Wei Wuhou's wife is really priceless, and if from the perspective of Su Xi herself, she is extremely particular about her face, and she has to do something on her face, although it is not plastic surgery, but if she is disguised, who knows if this scheming and crazy old man will do something on her face.
"Do you think, is your face worth anything, or is your life worth it?" the old man asked Su Xi a more serious question.
Yes, no matter what people say, it makes sense, and obviously, Su Xi has no other choice, those people were driven away by the people in the town, they saw the horses in the town, of course they thought that Su Xi was still in this town, if Su Xi went out with her face, she would definitely be caught by the people of the Seventh Prince.
"Explain in advance, I won't give you all my silver taels, I'm looking for someone, this is the only money I have, and I also need a map and a carriage. ”
Seeing that this old man is still a reasonable person, Su Xi plans to negotiate conditions with him. Su Xi sighed, it's really a deep routine, from the beginning, this old man was afraid that he was already eyeing himself, that mask or something, it was just an introduction, he didn't really want to extort his money, but to lure himself here and make his own money in a more reasonable way.
This old man is too good at doing business, if it is put in modern times, Su Xi will definitely choose to cooperate with him in business. What a good businessman.
The old man looked Su Xi up and down and asked, "In a word, I will find the horses for you, except for the travel expenses, the rest will belong to me." ”
It wasn't until Su Xi sat down in front of the dresser and let the old man smear on his face that Su Xi remembered a question and asked the old man: "How can you conclude that there must be a lot of money left, and you must make a profit without losing money?"
Since Su Xi left Shangshu Mansion, he has always been dressed as a man, and he is not wearing silk and satin, and if you look at the appearance, she doesn't look like a rich man. This old man can't just look at her and conclude that she is rich.
