Chapter 312: Evil Dragon
||->-> Chapter 313 of the main text
The old man's stall is a blank piece of paper with four words written on it: Mai Shenxiang. {}
"Ten bucks." The old man stretched out the index fingers of his left and right hands, put them together, and placed a cross.
Ding Ermiao scratched his head, frowned and shouted, "It's too expensive, right?" In my hometown, it only costs two dollars and five. ”
"It's not expensive! I see that your eyes are black and dark, and within a few days there will be a disaster of blood and light! You spend ten dollars to look at your face, and I show you a way out, is it expensive? The old man looked righteous and said awe-inspiringly:
"Just now, Lao Li, who sells curtains in the north building opposite, just didn't listen to my instructions, so he fell into the evil spirit, fell from the second floor, and died on the spot. You say, money or life matters? ”
Wow, so awesome? Ding Ermiao smiled in his heart, and wanted to laugh with this old man for a few words, but Gu Qinglan had already handed over a hundred bills.
"Old man, give you a hundred, but we want to hear the truth." Gu Qinglan said lightly.
The eyes of "Mai Shenxiang" lit up, and he grabbed Gu Qinglan's money from the novel wanshuba.com [Wan _ Book _ Bar], looked at the sun and stuffed it into his pocket. And several peers around him, seeing Gu Qinglan's generous move, all shot their eyes with envy, jealousy and hatred.
"Girl, sit down and talk." Mai smiled and took out a maza from behind him and asked Gu Qinglan to sit down. Gu Qinglan didn't sit down, and refused with a smile. Ding Ermiao was not polite, took Mazha, and sat on it.
Mai's eyes swept over Ding Ermiao and Gu Qinglan's faces, straightened their long beards, and pretended to ask, "Girl, little brother, what do you want to ask?" ”
"Didn't you say that I had a bloodlight disaster, let's start with the bloodlight disaster." Ding Ermiao squinted and said.
Mai's eyes rolled, and he opened his mouth to talk nonsense: "Little handsome guy, your physiognomy pattern is very bad, I said that you have a bloody disaster, I definitely don't scare you......"
"Okay, okay, we're not asking about that." Gu Qinglan hurriedly waved her hand, interrupted the old man's nonsense, lowered her voice, and said straight to the point: "We want to hear it, many people jump off the building here every year, isn't this square, what's weird?" ”
"What, you asked about someone jumping off the building here?" Mai narrowed her eyes, then shook her head and said, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, otherwise, there will be a curse." I know all these things, but I can't tell you. ”
Ding Ermiao was furious, glared and said, "Pay me back!" ”
"Er Miao......" Gu Qinglan flew over with a look, took out two more big bills, shook them in his hand, and said to Mai's appearance:
"Old man, let's just inquire about the past situation here, this shouldn't be a heavenly opportunity. If you are willing to say, these two hundred yuan are also yours, if you are not willing, we will find someone else to ask. ”
How much money can an old man earn a day as a fortune teller? So Gu Qinglan threw out the bait and made a bamboo in her chest.
Sure enough, Mai Shenxiang reached out again to grab the money in Gu Qinglan's hand, and said: "Okay, I'm also old, even if I am punished by God, I will only live a few years less......"
Two hundred yuan can buy a heavenly machine, and you can make Mai God willingly live a few years less. Money, money, it's amazing, it's powerful. Ding Ermiao couldn't cry or laugh in his heart.
Gu Qinglan smiled, retracted the banknote in his hand, and said, "These two hundred, but I can't give it to you now, I can give it to you when you finish speaking." ”
Accustomed to walking the rivers and lakes, Gu Qinglan is naturally not a fool, and cash on delivery is also the principle of doing business.
Mai looked helpless, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said, "Okay, what do you want to ask, ask." ”
But before Gu Qinglan could speak, Mai Shen turned her head to look around again, and said in a low voice: "These things are not very convenient to talk about here. My old man happened to have not eaten, so the girl simply did a good deed, invited me to have a glass of wine, found a quiet place, sat down and talked slowly. ”
Ding Ermiao nodded, that's fine. Sitting in this square where people come and go, it is indeed inconvenient to speak, and the autumn sun is at the head, and the people who shine are not comfortable.
Seeing that Ding Ermiao and Gu Qinglan agreed to her request, Mai looked overjoyed, rolled up the signboard on the ground, stuffed it into her pocket, carried Ma Zha, and took Ding Ermiao and the two of them through the gatehouse of the South Building and headed south.
Out of the market, I didn't go far along the road, and it was Water Street.
Water Street is connected to the Ling Canal, which is more than two miles long in total, and is the former commercial center of the ancient city of Xin'an. The buildings on both sides of the strait are simple, the cornices are hooked, and the style of the past is still retained.
Although the current water street has lost its commercial function, it is still a tourist attraction. There are many restaurants on both sides of the strait, one by one, the wine flag is displayed, and the aroma of wine is overflowing.
The old man who looked at the appearance took Gu Qinglan and the others, crossed a bridge, came to the Liangyuan Restaurant on the west bank, made his own decisions, and asked for a private room.
Two meat and two vegetables, a plate of peanuts, and a bottle of ordinary liquor. Although Ding Ermiao ate a big bowl of rice noodles at noon, when he smelled the aroma of wine at this time, he still aroused his appetite, opened the liquor, and drank it with Mai Shen.
Gu Qinglan asked for a cup of hot tea, sat on the side, and didn't say a word.
After two or two drinks, Mai opened the conversation. This old man's surname is Du, a local native, and people who know him well call him Lao Du.
"This square, there's something underground. There is something very scary. Lao Du took a sip of wine and said slowly: "Over the years, so many people who jumped off the building are making trouble because of the things underground. ”
"What the hell is it?" Ding Ermiao asked lightly.
Lao Du coughed twice and said in a low voice: "The bosses of the square, don't let you talk nonsense." I have a relationship with you, so I told you these things, but when you go out, don't talk nonsense. ”
Ding Ermiao pointed to the roof: "Don't worry, I will never talk nonsense, I swear to the ceiling." ”
"Actually, only I know that there is a dragon under the ground here. Moreover, it's still an evil dragon......" Lao Du chewed pig ears in his mouth and said mysteriously: "The souls of those who jumped off the building were all eaten by that dragon." ”
"Why, the dragons of the earth want to eat people?" Ding Ermiao asked casually.
"Of course the dragon wants to eat people!" Lao Du glared at him and said, "If there is no one to eat, then the evil dragon will break through the ground, causing the sky to collapse and the ground around the Lingqu to crack, and the corpses and bones will become a mountain!" ”
Ding Ermiao shook his head and smiled, thought about it, and asked tentatively: "This is the story you heard, used to bluff me, right?" Where are the dragons now? The dinosaurs are dead. ”
"No, my Lao Du never lies." Lao Du waved the chopsticks in his hand and said in a low voice:
"What do you think, so many people jumped to their deaths, why didn't the market management office secure the fence upstairs? Installing a closed guardrail is not worth a lot of money, and you can completely prevent the death from jumping off the building. However, the market management office not only did not install guardrails, but also did not allow merchants to install guardrails themselves. Isn't it strange, you say? ”
Gu Qinglan and Ding Ermiao glanced at each other, one head.
Naturally, they also discovered this problem, and it was also their puzzle. Tip: How to quickly search for the book you're looking for
