Chapter 238: One Side
The stall owner held out a hand and tried to silence the noisy crowd.
"Don't be noisy, don't be noisy. I know what you want to ask, and I'll tell you about it now. The stall owner said, "Why are these people dying?" How did a huge building come to an end? Actually, this ...... It's all that thing did it. ”
The remark immediately caused an uproar.
"That thing?"
"Which thing?"
"What's that thing?"
Voices of discussion came from all directions, slowly intertwined, slowly gathered, and soon formed a sound. But this is less like a voice chasing answers, more like a voice hungry for affirmation?
The stall owner silently glanced at each face, and from a pair of eager eyes, the stall owner was more sure of his thoughts.
Everyone in front of the booth knew what they were talking about, but they wanted an affirmative answer from their mouth.
It was close to noon, and the sun was dazzling.
The stall owner narrowed his eyes slightly.
It seems that this time, everyone was attracted to their own success.
Hum. Since you crave affirmation, then I have done it. And I'm going to be even bolder!
"That thing," Huo Ran's eyes widened as the stall owner spat out a few words lightly, "It's that mountain-sized beast in the Wind Turbine Bureau!" ”
"Ahh
"Oh my God."
"Behemoths? It's a behemoth? A passerby muttered quietly, but there was no look of disbelief on his face.
"Behemoth, behemoth, of course!" The passer-by next to him looked like he was in a bamboo chest, "That night, who dares to say that they didn't hear the roar of the giant beast?" ”
"But, but ......"
"Strange? Isn't the Behemoth fed by the Wind Turbine? ”
"That's right, how can an animal that I raised since I was a child bring about the destruction of the Wind Control Bureau?"
"Could it be, is there something wrong?"
"Yes, yes, there must be an accident."
With a subtle smile, the stall owner silently listened to the chatter around him.
He knew that these people would not be able to discuss the results. In the end, all eyes will still be on themselves.
Sure enough, after a while, the noisy crowd gradually calmed down.
Moreover, the number of onlookers has greatly increased. At this moment, the small fish stall has managed to become the most bloated area in the entire Storm Market.
"Accidents? Hum. The stall owner smiled contemptuously and continued, "This is not an accident, but an inevitability!" ”
"Inevitably?"
"What necessarily?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Be clear."
"Hmph." The stall owner spoke again, "Feeding such a giant beast is the most dangerous thing in the world, it is like playing with fire in your own house. Destruction is a matter of time, can it be called an accident? This is clearly an inevitability! ”
"Ahh
"It seems to be ......"
"That's right."
"Seems to make sense."
The smile on the stall owner's face slowly revealed. He suddenly discovered that he had a talent for storytelling, and that there was a lot of fun in it, much more than selling fish.
Perhaps, you can consider a side hustle part-time?
Just when the stall owner was silently cool, the limelight of the discussion quietly changed.
"What's the point?" A big man with a scruffy beard suddenly glared at him and said viciously. This expression is as if there is nothing in the world that can make sense to his old man.
The stall owner, Huo Ran, turned his gaze to the big man, but he just stared at him tightly and didn't speak immediately. Because, he knew that there would be people in the crowd of onlookers who would jump out to defend themselves.
"Of course it makes sense!" A small Earth Demon Clan really jumped out, although his size was not large, his voice could definitely be called sonorous and powerful.
"Feeding such a giant beast is clearly a matter of playing with fire, which really can't be considered an accident." His voice quickly reached everyone's ears with a penetrating power.
"Hmph." The big man snorted disdainfully, he slowly lowered his head to find the location of the sound source, and soon found the earth demon not far away.
"How do you know that the Behemoth is dangerous?" Dahan said provocatively.
"Me?" The Earth Demon was very unhappy to be looked down on, and he looked up proudly, and doubled his voice and shouted, "Do you need to say this? Who would dare to say that the roar of the beast was not heard that night? A beast that can make such a sound knows that it is a behemoth just by thinking about it! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the big man spoke.
"Hmph, is that so?" Dahan's voice was deliberately much lighter than that of the Earth Demon, "Is a big voice a behemoth?" If that's the case, just listening to your voice is a dangerous behemoth. ”
"You," the Earth Demon was suddenly speechless, his face slowly turning red, and he trembled and clenched his fists, "you bastard. ”
This time, his penetrating voice also dimmed.
"Hmph, don't be angry." Dahan said lightly, "I didn't mean to humiliate you. I just want to tell you that seeing is believing, and you can't just listen to this person's words. ”
"One-sided?" The stall owner frowned and said, "You dare to say that I am one-sided?" ”
"Isn't it?" The big man said with burning eyes, "Yes, we have heard the sound of the beast, but what does this mean?" Although the toad is small, its cry is louder than anyone else's. Why do you think this beast is dangerous just by sound? ”
"You ......"
The stall owner and the earth demon said the same word in unison, and they both silently shut their mouths. The stall owner is because he suddenly doesn't know what to say, and the earth demon is because of the metaphor of "toad" in the Han dialect.
This bastard is clearly humiliating me!
The Earth Demon thought viciously in his heart. Hmph, you should be glad you're tall. Otherwise, otherwise Lao Tzu would have rushed up and beaten you flat!
"Say? On what basis do you judge that the beast is dangerous? On what basis do you say that the Wind Turbine was destroyed because of the beast? The big man said aggressively.
"I, of course I'm ......," the stall owner began to rack his brain.
This bastard is clearly here to smash the field, if he doesn't answer well this time, Lao Tzu's great side business will also be destroyed.
"Unless," said the big man, raising his eyebrows, "you've seen this beast with your own eyes!" ”
"Ahh
"Will it?"
"Seen a behemoth? Has anyone really seen a behemoth? ”
"Yes, it's dangerous, but I really can't help but want to see what the giant beast looks like."
The crowd boiled again.
Eventually, the cooled people invariably focused their attention on one person.
That's the stall owner.
Looking at the crowd of black pressure (there were more people), the stall owner decided to let it go!
"Yes." The stall owner gritted his teeth and said, "I've seen this beast with my own eyes!" ”
"Hahahaha." Before the crowd could be noisy again, the big man laughed as if no one was around.
"You, what are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing at you for talking nonsense."
"I, what nonsense am I talking about?"
"Let me ask you, have you really been to the Wind Turbine?"
"When, of course."
"When?"
"You," the stall owner struggled to keep his composure, and took the opportunity to fight back, "won't you listen to people well?" As I said at the beginning, after the collapse of the Wind Turbine, I went in and saw it myself. ”
"Okay, okay." "I'm sure I've been to the Wind Turbine Bureau, but you can't possibly ever see this beast. ”
"Why?"
"Because, as you said yourself, you went after the collapse of the Wind Turbine." The big man spoke slowly, and a bad feeling suddenly flashed in the stall owner's heart.
"At that time, the giant beast will obediently nest in a wreckage waiting for you to come and see you?" Dahan slowly pointed to the ruins in the distance and said, "Although no one has ever seen the actual scene, everyone has heard the voice. That moonlit night, the Wind Turbine finally won a deathly silence. From that moment on, it was clear that there would be no more living life there, let alone a behemoth. ”
"This ......"
"Take 10,000 steps back, even if the giant beast is still there, how did you come back alive in the face of such a brutal beast?"
As soon as Dahan's words fell, everyone's eyes looked at the stall owner.
The stall owner opened his mouth wide, but he didn't spit out a word.
"Yes, that makes sense."
"yes, there's no way he'd ever seen a giant beast."
"Behemoths? Are there really behemoths? ”
"Yes, yes, it's better to see is believing."
"He, he hasn't been to the Wind Turbine Bureau, has he?"
"Look at him like that, he's clearly bragging."
"So, what he just said was all nonsense?"
"Sure enough, the Wind Turbine is like this for reasons we don't know."
The crowd roared again.
At this moment, the stall owner regrets it a lot, he should really finish work early and go home, what is not better than the hot kang head of his wife and children? Why suffer here?
In the face of everyone's criticism, he was speechless, and sweat slipped down his face.
At this moment, an indifferent voice suddenly sounded.
"What's so strange about seeing a behemoth?"
The noisy crowd immediately fell silent. Everyone was curious to find the source of the sound. Only the stall owner did not shake his head.
Because the voice was so close to him, so close that he didn't need to look for it.
His first listener, the Gollum man who had been crouching on the ground with a bell-and-whistle turban wrapped around his head, slowly stood up.
"What if," he said, looking lazily at the sun, "the beast is dead?" ”
"Dead?"
"The behemoth is dead?"
"How could the behemoth die?"
"That's right, since the entire Wind Turbine Bureau was destroyed by a giant beast, who has the ability to destroy it?"
"Could it be, did they die with the Wind Turbine Bureau?"
Just as the crowd began to stir, the stall owner's eyes rolled. He was like a man who had fallen into the water for a long time and suddenly saw driftwood.
Hmph, I said it. The stall owner clearly saw that the smile on the face of the big man who couldn't stop provoking disappeared.
