Chapter 216: Deception
Next to the small bridge in the east, a small courtyard fenced off, Tang Ling ran over to a young couple with a sugar gourd, "Dad, mother!"
"Ling'er, it's Ling'er!"
"Ling'er? Oh, it's really Ling'er, where did you run away, you kid, I'm worried about your mother!"
Tang Ling turned her head and pointed at Fang Dui and said, "I was abducted by the abductor Liu San, it was this Fang Dui Brother Fang who saved me!" The husband and wife came to Fang Dui, both knelt down, and the panicked Fang Duan hurriedly helped them up, "Big brother and sister-in-law, please hurry up!" Tang Ling's mother wiped her tears and said, "Engong, if you hadn't saved Ling'er, I don't know where she would have been sold, and our family of three will probably never see each other again in this life!"
"Yes," Tang Ling's father was full of stubble, and his eyes were slightly red, "Engong, we have nothing to thank you, why don't you come in and sit down, let's prepare a meal, and repay it slightly!"
Fang Du originally wanted to excuse himself, but his stomach "gurgled", he was indeed hungry. Fang Du thought to himself, just leave some silver for them when he left. He walked in with a family of three, the furnishings in the house were simple, and the service was nothing more than a coarse tea and light rice carefully prepared. Fang Du had a big appetite and ate sweetly. It was just a bowl of soup in his stomach, and Fang Du suddenly fell asleep, and he fell asleep at the dinner table.
This sleep was dark, and when Fang Duan woke up, the family of three was gone. The food on the table was cold, and the room was silent without any sound. Fang Dui had a splitting headache, and stood up and shouted, "Tang Ling, eldest brother, sister-in-law, are you there?"
Even three or two calls, no one responded. Fang Duan found that the few pieces of furniture in the house were covered with dust, and when they opened it, there was not a single piece of clothing inside, let alone any trace of living life. Fang Du secretly thought, is this a haunted house?
At this moment, he subconsciously touched his body, everything else was there, only the silver bag was gone. It wasn't until this moment that he understood that what he was kidnapping girls and robbing people on the street was just to lure himself here, drink the bowl of soup with ingredients, and take away the silver bag on his body.
The others were just that, Fang Dui thought of Tang Ling's innocent eyes, and his heart ached. How a child knows how to deceive people is just what his parents tell him to do. Fang Du shook his head and smiled bitterly.
The sky outside had not yet darkened, and Fang Duan still figured out what kind of wicked person was waiting for him, he couldn't stay here, but had to go outside to take a look.
The town was not big, and Fang Dui walked back and forth twice, and the genius gradually darkened. The guy at the door of the inn took the initiative to ask him if he wanted to stay, but Fang Du refused because he was too shy to stay. As a last resort, he returned to Tang Ling's "home", the courtyard where no one lived in the past.
This night, Fang Du stared out the window, from dark to dawn. He was a little angry, he obviously saved Tang Ling and did good deeds, why did he end up like this? Could it be that he really responded to that sentence, and his kindness was not reciprocated? But he was a little aggrieved, and he couldn't find anyone with a stomach full of anger, so he could only lie on the cold kang and be stunned. And at this time, Fang Duan seemed to understand one thing, maybe everyone here was a liar.
The next day, when it was dawn, Fang Du found the most crowded spot in the town, sat down against the wall, and carefully observed everyone who passed in front of him.
An eldest sister dropped the golden hairpin without knowing it, and the passers-by were about to take it for themselves, and immediately someone came up and told him that the seeer had a share and wanted to share it with him. When the pedestrian saw that the golden hairpin was heavy, he felt distressed for a while, so he took out the silver and gave it to the man, which was regarded as hush money.
A golden hairpin made the pedestrian smile happily. Fang Du followed him to the gold shop, it turned out that he wanted to turn the hairpin, the owner of the gold shop told the pedestrian that the hairpin was just plated with a thin layer of gold on the outside, but the inside was copper, worthless, and the pedestrian was deceived!
The old woman was buying pears on the street, and the vendor flipped through the pears and replaced the large pears she had picked with small and bad pears, and the old woman was also deceived.
A pair of people passed by, and the man was going to marry his beloved girl, but found that it was her stupid sister who was good with Qin Jinzhi on top of him, and the man was deceived.
Fang Du could hardly believe it, this place was full of lies and deceptions, from eighty-year-old people to three-year-old children, they couldn't believe a word that came out of their mouths. Fang Du even felt that his existence was a scam, he couldn't stay here, he had to find a way to leave.
"Little brother," someone suddenly spoke behind him, Fang Dui turned his head, it was an elder with kind eyebrows and eyes, and white hair, he was carrying a silver bag in his hand, which was the one Fang Du lost, "This thing is yours, right?"
At this moment, Fang Dui's shock was almost indescribable, he didn't dare to take the silver bag, for fear that it was also a scam. The old man opened the silver bag, "Then there is no mistake, but half of the silver in it has been taken, and the rest will be returned to you." ”
"What do you want to do?" Fang Duan took two steps back very vigilantly, "I have nothing to deceive except for this money bag. The old man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "It seems that you have seen through the trick, yes, everyone here is a liar." ”
The old man was able to admit this calmly, which somewhat surprised Fang Duan, "You too?" the old man nodded, "Yes, so am I." Unlike them, they cheat money, but I cheat people's hearts! Little brother, it is difficult to move an inch without money, I advise you to take it. ”
Fang Duan hesitated to take the money bag, yes, what he needed most at the moment was money. The old man graciously invited, "My house is not far ahead, if the little brother is willing to listen to my useless old man's chatter, come together!"
After saying that, the old man had already walked away with his hands behind his back. There is no coercion, not even the meaning of waiting for the twilight. This made Fang Duan couldn't help but be curious, what this old man said about deceiving people's hearts, he wanted to find out.
The old man's surname is Hua, his name is Xingchao, his home is in the north of Cross Street, and there are two people in the family. Fang Du followed him into the door, and Aunt Hua smiled and brought up tea. Hua Xingchao said, "This little brother is surnamed Fang, his name is Fang Dui?" Fang Du nodded, "How do you know, and who asked you to return the money bag to me?"
"Oh, you're asking about this, it's Tang Ling's little girl. Hua Xingchao took a sip of tea, "That kid is smart and likable." Early this morning, she came to me, handed me the money bag, and told me to give it to a young man with a beautiful eyebrow. I did what she said and found you. ”
"They already got the money bag from me, why did they send it back?"
