"The dark light or something sounds so powerful, young master, can you let me go and see it too?" Meilan, who had been eavesdropping, came out and asked after Xiaoci left.

"That's not where kids should be." Xiao Nan patted her head and said, Meilan is also quite obedient, oh and stopped saying anything.

She reminded Xiao Nan that a child like Meilan can't always stay in his yard like a prisoner, and he doesn't want Meilan and Ah Cheng to follow him all the time. When he was reading the newspaper in the past few days, he saw that the newspaper said that some new-style schools had begun to open in the city, and there were even girls' schools, and after a while, he wanted to send Meilan directly to the girls' school to study.

The premise is to make some more money, and now he always feels that the money in hand is not enough, such as Xiaoci, a person like Xiaoci, blackmailed him with three gold bars at once, if he can't find a regular source of income, he feels that he will soon fall into the same situation as before.

Thinking of this, he felt that he couldn't lie in bed all the time.

What's more, he still owes Brown a large amount of loans, although the stock will definitely rise in the future, but it will have to wait until a year later, of course, he can't count on the Seventh Young Master, the other party seems to have lost to the center of the earth.

Xiao Nan thought about it, thinking of the land deed he had searched from the courtyard of the sixteenth young master, he and the steward also chatted a little about the follow-up of the sixteenth young master, and learned that the various properties of the sixteenth young master had been divided among the other young masters at this moment. The Xiao family has a big business, but no one cares about the ownership of a small title deed for a small shop.

Then I guess I can safely "receive" this small store, at least as a source of stable income for myself.

So the next day, while the rain stopped for a while, Xiao Nan asked Ah Cheng to push himself to find the shop mentioned in the title deed.

The streets in Xiaocheng are distinctly layered, and the areas in the valley are all rich and foreigners, all of which are fashionable and beautiful, and the streets are neat.

And out of the valley to the canal, is where the middle class lived—the civilian area, which was crowded and extremely prosperous, but not as high-class as the rich area.

At the bottom of the city was the slum, where Meilan was born, and it was a small, crowded place where a large number of poor people lived, but it was also the darkest part of the city, where the sun could not reach, and the first two classes hardly went there.

The location of this small shop is deep in the civilian area, and it is only a canal away from the slum.

Originally, during the Republic of China, there were canals and direct currents passing through here, but in modern times, these rivers have been filled.

Although the civilian area is not a place where rich and noble families are concentrated, the Xiao family has transformed the entire city, and the roads here are not bad, they can be regarded as relatively smooth roads, but the roads are narrow, after all, there are not many families in this era who have private cars, and even bicycles are luxuries.

The alleys are filled with an atmosphere of an ancient town, but they are more crowded than the tourist attractions, lined up with old wires and all sorts of wires - a bit of a bad thing, most of the city is actually electrified, except for the slums at night, when it is dark, and even street lamps are rare.

Of course, the electricity bill will be handed over to the "Xiao Electric Power Bureau" established by the Xiao family.

After beating around the bush for a long time, Xiao Nan also has a good memory and a strong sense of orientation, otherwise others would have been lost. They finally found the shop in the depths of a small, narrow shopping street.

Xiao Nan originally thought that this store was about to close down, but he didn't want the original owner to change his hand and give the store to the new shopkeeper, but now this place has become a fortune-telling parlor, the door is closed, and the word please enter is posted at the door.

As soon as he opened the old-fashioned sliding door, Xiao Nan was startled by the atmosphere inside, it turned out that there were a lot of veils and strange incense here, which looked like a gypsy tent.

After Ah Cheng pushed Xiao Nan into the house, he shouted, "Is anyone there?" ”

I heard a bell ringing, and soon a young man's voice came from inside: "Someone has someone, please come inside." ”

They had to lift the veil and go inside, which was quite deep, and when they finally reached the innermost hut, they saw that the hut was almost arranged like a real tent, and there was a small but delicate crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling, many of which hung down in all directions with the chandelier as the center, and a dark red carpet on the floor, and a man in an embroidered robe was half-lying on an exotic chaise longue, and a crystal ball was placed on the table in front of him.

Is this man going to use a crystal ball for divination? In this day and age, it's so fashionable!

Xiao Nan couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

But he still said quietly: "The title deed of this shop is in my hands, and I want to meet the owner of your shop." ”

The man's eyebrows and eyes were very delicate, his forehead and the corners of his eyes were covered with shiny sequins, and he even had a charming feeling when he smiled, only to hear him laugh and say, "I am the owner of this shop." It turned out that the landlord had arrived. ”

"Then I'll be straightforward, this store will be paid to me every month according to the agreed rent in the future." Xiao Nan said, "Otherwise, I will have to go through the Fa." ”

"Haha, of course the house money is indispensable to you." The man sat up, and as he sat up, the sleeves of his coat fluttered lightly at his side, indicating that he had no arms.

And he lifted one of his feet, and the bones seemed to be able to bend at will, and he put his foot on his crystal ball so easily, his feet were white and beautiful, his toes were very long, and his toes were covered with delicate gemstone rings, and he was incredibly flexible.

And his other foot, like a finger, supported his cheek, tilted his head to look at Xiao Nan and said, "Landlord? My assistant will come over later, and I will give you the money when he comes, so why don't you stay here for a while and let me tell you your fate?" It's a Western fortune teller, but it won't ask you for money. ”

"Young master, this person is very strange." Ah Cheng reminded, "Don't be deceived by him. ”

Xiao Nan said: "I don't believe in these, since that's the case, let's just wait." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Cheng suddenly walked to the cushion in the corner with a dull gaze, and then lay down there, and fell asleep.

Xiao Nan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Hypnosis?!" ”

"Hahahaha......" the strange man laughed, "Young master, you are quite knowledgeable, most people only think this is 'witchcraft'." You're such an interesting person, get closer and let me tell your fortune. ”

"Hurry up and bring my entourage to their senses!" Xiao Nan said, "Let's leave." ”

"Gee, do you think I'm going to let go of someone as interesting as you easily? If you're not obedient, I'll probably kill the guy you. The man pricked up his toes and brought them closer to his lips.

Xiao Nan had to slide his wheelchair to get closer to him.

The man's feet immediately leaned in nimbly and lifted the blanket from his lap.

"Ouch, it's a pity that such a good-looking boy is missing a leg." His feet stretched out to Xiao Nan's stump, caressing Xiao Nan's stump like a pair of hands, Xiao Nan wanted to retreat, but suddenly found that his hands seemed to be nailed to the armrests of a wheelchair, and he couldn't move for half a minute!

Could it be that he was also hinted at?!

He looked at the other in horror.

The man rubbed his broken leg with his foot and said, "You are the thirteenth young man of the Xiao family, right?" Your father ordered this leg to be cut off, right? Like me, as soon as I was born, my father cut off both of my arms. He shook his shoulders hard and said, "We people in the Liu family were freaks from birth, and it is said that when I was born, my arms were so weird that I scared the midwives to death.

But because of this, I have a pair of flexible feet. ”

As he spoke, his feet slid towards Xiao Nan's inner thighs, and Xiao Nan hurriedly moved his legs, trying to stop him.

"The third young master and the sixteenth young master like me very much." He continued, "They come to me from time to time, and I make them very comfortable. The third young master also promised me to take me into the back garden of the Xiao family, saying that as long as I entered there, I could have my arms again.

It's a pity that I'm a scourge, and they're all dead. Do you want to carry on their legacy and take me into the back garden one day? ”

His words were filled with an extremely seductive force, Xiao Nan tried to close his eyes to resist his hypnosis, and gritted his teeth and said, "I'm different from them!" I have no power or power! Stop dreaming! ”

"You're really ruthless, Thirteen, you haven't come to see me in a long time." The man leaned into his ear and blew, "You introduced me to them in the first place." Now it makes it seem like we're strangers. ”

Xiao Nan's brain was suddenly struck by lightning at this time, why did he choose this one among so many land deeds? !

Is it accidental?!

Is it really an accident?!

Is there any mysterious connection between him and the thirteen young people who should have really died?

"I'm more curious, why are you still alive? I obviously let you die with that actor? The man added.

"Who the hell are you?" Xiao Nan barely screamed.

"Have you forgotten my name?" The man's entire body was pressed against him, and his head was on his shoulder.

Xiao Nan heard his own violent gasps.

"Unless...... You're not thirteen at all! The man's tone changed suddenly, "But how can there be anyone in the world who is exactly like him, and even has one leg missing?" How did you do that? ”

"Liu Qianzhi." Xiao Nan suddenly pronounced a name that made him feel extremely unfamiliar in his breath.

After hearing this name, the man's eyes were fixed on Xiao Nan.

He was finally willing to step back from Xiao Nan and sit back on his original couch.

"You're not him, but you know my name. I've only told him the name. The man sat cross-legged, "This name was given by my father when he saw me born." But most people only know that my name is Liu Qian.

Something strange must have happened to you.

Growing up, almost no one could resist my hypnosis, but you could still stay awake. ”

"You mean, you've been hypnotized since you were a child?!" Xiao Nan finally felt that his fingers could move. His mind had begun to move in a very strange direction, thinking about something that he had no clue about.

Liu Qianzhi. The name speaks to what a horrible freak he was!

"Maybe it's not hypnosis, it's some kind of ability......"

"You're right, our Liu family started from a certain generation, and the people born were not only deformed, but more or less talented." The man who called himself "Liu Qian" curled the corners of his mouth and said, "It's a pity that I'm the last generation, and I don't plan to let the descendants of the Liu family be born."

I'm not going to find out who you really are.

It's okay for you to be anyone, as long as you can continue to help me, otherwise I have the means to torture you, as well as the people around you. ”

"I can tell you who I am." Xiao Nan faced this man who was full of supernatural mysteries and decided to take a gamble, "We can make a deal." ”

"Speaking of trading, I don't know if you still remember that the thirteenth young man in the past once asked me to dig up a thing buried under the old tree of the Liu family and give it to him." Liu Qian said, "How about using that as a price?" ”

That unknown thirteen young people are really not a fuel-efficient lamp!

But why do you remember a little bit of the "message" that the thirteen young people know? Why did you choose that contract? Why did you know Liu Qian's real name?

Xiao Nan felt that his brain was completely insufficient in the face of the mystery caused by the huge Xiao family.
