"Sugar gourd, delicious sugar gourd!"

"Buy 3 get 1 free pineapple cake! Freshly baked pineapple crisp!"

On the streets of the capital, the cries of hawkers are endless.

"Is it a holiday?" Qiao Qixin muttered.

She stopped a passer-by and asked, "Ma'am, may I ask what holiday it is?" So lively?"

The passer-by who was immediately stopped by Qiao Qixin glanced at her, his eyes were a little strange, and said, "Today is the Lantern Festival!"

Qiao Qixin was stunned.

Lantern Festival?

She never remembered the day, and after thinking about it for a while, she realized that it was indeed time for the Lantern Festival.

After thanking the lady, Qiao Qixin walked towards the Fusheng Inn.

On the way back to the Fusheng Inn, the aroma of mutton skewers continued to seduce Georgette's nose.

No, this oil is too much, you can't eat it, you will gain ten pounds if you eat it!

Georgette struggled to control her desire to eat ten skewers of lamb.

She walked back and forth on the road.

Approaching the lamb skewer stand, reason will suddenly jump out and take her away;

It's far away from the lamb skewer stall, and the sensibility will suddenly jump out and bring her back.

After going around for a while, Qiao Qixin finally made up her mind - eat! Eat ten skewers!

Big deal, she won't eat today!

Georgette Cinnacle, who had made a decision, ran to the mutton skewer stall and said to the hot boss, "Boss, come ten skewers!"

The boss saw that business was coming, and he worked harder.

The pieces of mutton worn on the red willow branches kept flying up and down in the hands of the boss.

The roasted grease dripped on the charcoal fire below, and a three-foot-high flame burst out with a "boom", which startled Qiao Qixin and subconsciously retreated.

After a few moments, the lamb skewers are grilled.

Qiao Qixin grabbed the pole and walked happily on the street, eating and watching.

During the Lantern Festival, everyone from famous families will come out to shop and have a lively time.

While eating, Qiao Qixin carefully avoided people, afraid that the fat from the mutton skewers would be thrown on people's clothes.

"That little girl who eats lamb skewers, can you come to the old man?"

"Huh?" Qiao Qixin was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the mutton skewers in her hand.

Is it calling me?

She turned her head from side to side.

"Little girl, I'm on your left."

Hearing this, Qiao Qixin looked to the left and saw an old man in a black coat sitting on the side of the road, waving at him.

"Old uncle, is there anything you call me for?" Qiao Qixin came to the old man's side.

"Little girl, the old man sees that you are destined for me, and wants to give you a hexagram for free, I wonder if the girl is willing to appreciate it?"

The old man looked at the good face, Qiao Qixin thought for a while, and said, "Okay, then old uncle, you can calculate a hexagram for me."

The old man nodded and said, "What does the little girl want to ask?"

"Well...... Qiao Qixin thought for a moment and said, "I want to ...... I wonder if my sweetheart will be in danger if he is there alone."

"Girl, wait a minute." My husband is fair.

He crossed his legs, his eyes closed, his fingers moving between them.

Georgette stared intently at her husband—it was the first time she had seen these magical things.

After a while, my husband suddenly opened his eyes and said, "There may be a risk."

"What?" Qiao Qixin was puzzled.

The husband explained, "Is your sweetheart in a strange place?"

Qiao Qixin nodded.

In Lin'an City, Liu Zhan also went for the first time, because he didn't have his own eyeliner there.

"That's right." My husband is fair, "Your sweetheart has this calamity, or there may be a disaster for his life."

"Disaster of life?!" Qiao Qixin was shocked.

Could it be that Liu Zhan will die because of that plague!?

"Sir, did you figure out anything else?" Georgette

Hurriedly asked.

"This catastrophe broke out two days later, and the old man persuaded the girl to leave in two days." My husband is fair.

"Why?" Qiao Qixin asked puzzled.

The old man hung his head, "If the girl had gone earlier, she might have risked her own life."

Qiao Qixin was dumbfounded for a moment.

After being silent for a long time, Qiao Qixin said slowly, "Old man, you may be able to figure out who caused his catastrophe?"

The old man looked at Qiao Qixin and said, "The calamities of life are all on the table, no matter who it is, he will always suffer this calamity."

"If the girl wants to kill that person, the old man can tell the girl accurately, kill one person, and the next person will come out."

"And don't commit suicide in vain, because it will damage your merits."

Qiao Qixin was stunned for a moment, and said in a daze, "Old man, did you misunderstand something? I didn't want to kill."

The old man bowed slightly, "The old man knows, and what he just said is not the girl he said."

Qiao Qixin blinked and said, "Then old man, what do you think I can do about this calamity?"

The old man's head lowered slightly, "This time, it's also the girl's robbery."

Qiao Qixin was even more confused, didn't she say Liu Zhan's robbery? Why did I rob it too?

"Old man, you won't fool me, will you?" Qiao Qixin can't help but be a little suspicious."

The old man smiled and said, "If the girl doesn't believe it, she'll find out in three days."

"Okay," Georgette handed the old man a lamb skewer, "thank you, because it's free, so please give you a lamb skewer."

"You're welcome, girl." The old man reached out and took the lamb skewers.

Qiao Qixin got up and patted her clothes, ready to say goodbye to her husband, but looked up to find that there was no one in front of her.

"Huh...... Are you walking so fast?" Qiao Qixin muttered.

She ate the lamb skewers in her hand as she walked, then grabbed the remaining two in her hand and knocked on the door of the Fusheng Inn.

"Ha-ah-the inn is closed for business in the middle of the night, please come back." Jinyan's languid and sleepy voice came from within.

"Sister Jinyan, it's me, Qiao Qixin." Qiao Qixin said loudly through a door.

There was a sound from inside the door, but after a few breaths, the door of the Floating Inn opened.

Jinyan was dressed in a coat, holding an oil lamp in her hand, standing at the door and looking at Qiao Qixin with a complicated expression.

"Qixin, are you back?" Jinyan said tentatively.

Qiao Qixin looked at Jin Yan with a smile and joked, "Yes, yes, today is my first seven, come back to see you."

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up!" Jin Yan said angrily.

She put the oil lamp aside, and then happily ushered Qiao Qixin into the inn.

"You're back, and the affairs of Lin'an City are done." Jin Yan happily poured tea for Qiao Qixin.

Qiao Qixin stuffed one of the remaining two mutton skewers in her hand to Jinyan, and said, "No, the matter of Lin'an City has not been resolved, and it is said that there is a conflict between the former city lord and the former city lord, so the former city lord sent someone to Dali Temple for help."

"It doesn't seem to be a big problem, Liu Zhan asked me to come back first."

"First? Is Liu Zhan still in Lin'an City?" Jinyan asked.

Qiao Qixin nodded, "He is still in Lin'an City, saying that he still has something to do, and he also has the plague, so he is taking medicine from the current city lord of Lin'an City."

"Huh? What about you? Is there anything uncomfortable? Sister, I'll take you to see Langzhong now, the plague has to be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise you'll die of unbearability when it starts." Jin Yan said worriedly, grabbing Qiao Qixin's arm and about to put her out of her head.

"It's okay sister, I don't have any infection on my body. And I've taken medicine in Lin'an City, don't worry." Qiao Qixin patted the back of Jinyan's sister and said that she didn't have to worry too much.

"Really?" Jinyan is still a little uneasy.

"Really~~" Qiao Qixin half-coquettishly pulled Jin Yan to her side and asked, "Sister Jin Yan, I heard Liu Zhan say that you used to be an assassin?"

Jin Yan was stunned for a moment, turned her head at random, and a smile appeared on her face, "Hey, how did he tell you this."

Qiao Qixin's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Sister, you really used to be an assassin?"

"It's been a long time ago," Jin Yan nodded to Georgette's forehead in disgust, "Want to hear it?"

Qiao Qixin stared at Jin Yan with blazing eyes and nodded frantically.

"I won't tell you." Jin Yan snorted arrogantly, and then urged Qiao Qixin, "Go upstairs and go to bed, it's so late."

"Sister Jinyan, I'm not sleepy~I want to listen~," Qiao Qixin said coquettishly.

"Want to hear it? No way!" Jin Yan mercilessly gave Qiao Qixin a brain breakdown, and said, "Hurry up and go to sleep, don't rub on my words anymore."

Qiao Qixin pursed her mouth, and when she saw that there was no melon, she could only reluctantly go upstairs.

She returned to the familiar room, which was clean and cleaned every day.

"Whew-" After washing, Qiao Qixin lay down comfortably on the bed.

The soft futon wrapped around her whole body, as if she had fallen into a warm embrace.

But Qiao Qixin didn't feel much sleep, and in her mind, the words of the street fortune teller kept coming up. Liu Zhan, is it really dangerous?

Forget it, I don't want to, anyway, two days later, I always have to go back to Lin'an City to take a look, otherwise I won't be able to put my mind at ease.

After making up her mind, Qiao Qixin closed her eyes and immersed herself in the soft quilt.

——

early morning

Outside, there was a lot of buzz, and the wheels of the carriage were constantly sounding.

But this didn't affect Qiao Qixin's sleepiness at all.

She covered her head with a quilt and fell asleep on her bed.

She slept until three o'clock in the morning, and then she opened her eyes in a daze.

But this can't be relied on by her, she slept late last night, so she naturally couldn't get up too early today.

After Qiao Qixin finished washing, she yawned and went downstairs.

Plugs were ready for breakfast, and on the table were a plate of steamed buns, two fried dough sticks, and two bowls of soy milk. Chinese Net

"Ha-ah-early, early, early, bolt."

Jinyan, who got up later than Qiao Qixin, walked down the stairs.

The bolt saluted, then turned and went on his way.

Qiao Qixin sat down at the table, reached out for a bun, and asked while eating, "Why did you get up so late?"

Jinyan: "Huh?" sighed, then took a sip of soy milk, and said sleepily, "I used to sleep a lot and yawn - I kept vigil last night, and I woke up until now - I woke up early."

After eating the buns, Qiao Qixin put the fritters into the soy milk.

"It's you, you got up so late, don't you have to go to Dali Temple today?" Jinyan asked.

Qiao Qixin shook her head, "I'll go again in the afternoon, but even if I go, it's fine, Liu Zhan is still in Lin'an City, and I don't know if this case should be closed."

"Hmm...... Ah, by the way, wasn't yesterday the Lantern Festival? Have you ever met an old man who is a fortune teller?" Jinyan asked suddenly.

Qiao Qixin was stunned, "What's wrong?"

"The old man who tells fortunes is elusive, and he only comes out to set up a stall to tell fortunes every festival, and he usually can't see him at all, and I don't know where he lives." Jinyan Road.

Qiao Qixin didn't understand, "What do you mean?"

"That old man is quite accurate, I have always wanted to find him again, but I have never been able to touch him."

"Didn't you come back last night? I wonder if you've seen it." Jinyan Road.

Georgette said "oh", then nodded, "I did see a fortune teller last night, but I don't know if it's what you said."

"Oh? Are you called sir?" Jin Yan raised her eyebrows and said, "He must have told you a fortune as well, right?" How's that, isn't it very accurate?"
