Chapter 148: Grandma Cat's Sugar-fried Chestnuts
The two hurried along the way, and gradually came to a market with more people.
To get to the red chrysanthemum paper shop from here, you have to walk through this downtown area.
When she was about to enter the downtown area, Xia Zixuan walked up to Xia Bing and whispered, "Why don't we untie the rope trapped on that weird musician now." Otherwise, let others see it and think that he was kidnapped by us. ”
Xia Bing said in a deep voice: "That's right, then you can untie the rope, and I'll drag him forward later." ”
Xia Zixuan nodded, then walked behind Xia Bing and silently untied the rope tied to him.
After that, Xia Zixuan and Xia Bing, one left and one right, put up the arms of the weird musician, and then walked towards the downtown area.
Although Xia Zixuan had untied the weird musician from Xia Bing's body, the strange appearance of the three people still attracted the onlookers of passers-by.
As soon as the three of them walked to the side of a medical hall, a man who looked like a doctor came out of it.
He smiled and said to Xia Zixuan: "This girl, what's wrong with this person you're carrying, do you need to come in and take a break?"
Xia Zixuan cautiously looked towards the inside of the medical hall, waved her hand and said, "No need, he is just too hot and has some heat stroke, we will arrive at the destination soon, so we will not go in again." ”
It is estimated that there are no people in this medical hall today, or maybe the doctors here are not very skilled, so this person has been squatting outside to solicit business.
Seeing that Xia Zixuan rejected herself, the doctor-like person still didn't give up, and kept persuading her to carry the weird musician inside, so that she could show him if he was sick.
Xia Zixuan was just about to continue talking to him, but Xia Bing interrupted her and signaled her to stop talking nonsense with this man, for fear that something would change.
As he spoke, Xia Bing dragged the strange Leren's body and ran towards the front quickly, so fast that Xia Zixuan almost couldn't catch up with him.
The two trotted all the way to the front, and from time to time people doing small business in the small shops on the side of the road came up to talk to Xia Zixuan, wanting to solicit business, but they were all rejected by the two.
As she walked, Xia Zixuan's stomach suddenly began to "gurgle" again.
It's no wonder, after all, they haven't eaten since the two of them quietly followed the weird musician from Ling Xiaolou to the dark forest.
When the two of them walked to the middle of the market, Xia Zixuan suddenly found a strange old woman on the side of the road.
The old woman was dressed in a strange way, and she seemed to be blind in one eye, and she wore a black blindfold like a pirate on the outside, covering the blind eye.
She also carried an old-looking wooden basket covered with a dark blue cotton cloth.
At this moment, a little girl with pigtails ran to the old woman in a hurry, and excitedly put her hand into the old basket and pulled it in.
It seemed that the little girl and the strange old woman must have been very acquainted, otherwise she would not have come up and gone to the stranger's basket to dig something.
Xia Zixuan looked at the little girl curiously, only to see her hand fumbling in the basket for a while, and then suddenly took out a sugar-fried chestnut and put it in her mouth.
It turned out that the old woman's basket was filled with fried chestnuts with sugar.
The little girl chirped and said, "Grandma, your chestnuts are getting more and more delicious, fragrant and sweet." ”
The old woman stared at the little girl, and for some reason, Xia Zixuan felt that she was very strange.
After all, if it were an ordinary person, she would definitely be amused when she saw such a cute little girl, but she still had a straight face and looked at the little girl who was eating fried chestnuts with sugar expressionlessly.
Moreover, since the little girl just called this old woman grandma, it means that this little girl is the granddaughter of the old lady's own family.
When she saw her granddaughter, how could she be so indifferent?
At this moment, the little girl suddenly took out some copper plates from her pocket and placed them on a plate beside the old woman.
"Well, this is ten cents, I want a pound of sugar fried chestnuts. As she spoke, the little girl took out a cloth bag and handed it to the blind old woman.
When the old woman saw the money on the plate, she was as excited as if she had seen her own mother, and immediately changed her expression, excitedly took the cloth bag, and put a pound of sugar and fried chestnuts into the cloth bag for the little girl.
The little girl happily took the fried chestnuts and walked towards the corner of the street.
At this time, Xia Zixuan realized that these two people were not related at all, maybe it was just the old woman's name and grandmother.
Suddenly, the old woman took out some sugar-fried chestnuts from the bag and put them on a plate in front of her, and shouted, "Sell chestnuts! Come and try Grandma Cat's fried chestnuts with sugar, they don't cost money!
It turned out that the old woman's name was Grandma Mao, no wonder the little girl just now called her that.
Xia Zixuan said to Xia Bing: "I'll buy a bag of sugar-fried chestnuts to eat, you wait for me here." ”
Xia Bing just wanted to stop her, so as not to cause trouble, but Xia Zixuan ran towards the chestnut stall by herself.
Xia Bing sighed helplessly, and had to wait for her with the weird musician on the side.
Xia Zixuan quickly ran to the front of the chestnut stall and said to the old woman called Grandma Mao: "I also want a pound of chestnuts, it's ten cents, right?"
Grandma Mao immediately squeezed out a mysterious smile and said: "Yes, my chestnuts are particularly delicious, they are fried in a special way, come, girl, I'll fill you with a bag." ”
Xia Zixuan nodded and said, "Okay, grandma, it's okay to put it in this bag." ”
With that, she took out a blue cloth bag from the cloth pocket on her body and handed it to the cat grandmother.
Grandma Cat stretched out her hand that was as dry as old tree bark, took out a few handfuls of sugar-fried chestnuts from the wooden basket, and put them into Xia Zixuan's blue cloth bag.
Xia Zixuan took the blue cloth bag, and then ran in the direction where Xia Bing was.
At this time, what she didn't notice was that the cat grandma who sold fried chestnuts with sugar actually showed a strange smile that was not easy to detect after she left.
Xia Bing urged her: "Let's go, we need to put this strange guy to the red chrysanthemum as soon as possible." ”
Xia Zixuan nodded, cooperatively dragged the strange man's body with her right hand, and continued to drag the guy towards the front with Xia Bing.
The two walked all the way to the front, and Xia Zixuan kept taking out the sugar-fried chestnuts in the blue bag and putting them in her mouth as she walked.
"It's so sweet, I haven't eaten such delicious sugar-fried chestnuts for a long time, it tastes so fragrant. Xia Zixuan sighed while eating.
Xia Bing shook her head helplessly, feeling that this woman's heart was so big that she could still think of eating at such an urgent moment.
Just as Xia Zixuan was eating excitedly, the screams of several people suddenly came from the corner of the street: "Help! Someone is coming!
Xia Zixuan and Xia Bing looked behind them at the same time, and happened to see a person lying on the corner of the street.
After all, they were all cultivators, and although they were very far away, they could still see the corpse lying on the ground clearly, and it was the little girl who was buying chestnuts at Grandma Cat's chestnut stall just now.
Xia Bing shouted that it was not good, and hurriedly knocked the bag of chestnuts in Xia Zixuan's hand to the ground.
Xia Zixuan hadn't reacted at this time, and said blankly to him, "What are you going to do here?"
Xia Bing pointed to the little girl who fell to the ground in front of her and said, "Don't you wonder how she died?"
Xia Zixuan stared at him nervously and said, "How did you die?"
Xia Bing didn't answer her, but hurriedly pulled the weird musician towards the place where the little girl fell to the ground on the corner of the street.
Xia Zixuan also followed him all the way in that direction.
When she arrived at the street corner, the scene in front of her frightened her face.
I saw that the little girl with pigtails was bleeding from seven holes at the moment, and she was still holding half a bag of sugar-fried chestnuts in her hand.
Xia Zixuan stared at Xia Bing in horror and whispered, "She, how did she die?"
Xia Bing sighed and said, "I guess that this sugar-fried chestnut may be poisonous, you look at the little girl's appearance, it looks like she died of poisoning." ”
Xia Zixuan was shocked and said, "What?!, you mean, that cat grandma's sugar-fried chestnuts just now were poisonous?"
Xia Bing said helplessly: "It's very likely, did you see that cat grandma when you ran over there just now?"
Xia Zixuan shook her head and said, "I didn't"
Xia Bing pointed to the little girl who fell to the ground in front of her and said, "Don't you wonder how she died?"
Xia Zixuan stared at him nervously and said, "How did you die?"
Xia Bing didn't answer her, but hurriedly pulled the weird musician towards the place where the little girl fell to the ground on the corner of the street.
