When they started selling their clothes hangers on a piece of cloth, they attracted quite a few women to come and watch.
Unfortunately, these women with patched clothes only glanced at them and then left.
However, the person wearing a cotton-padded coat, after asking the price, felt it was a good deal and bought a few.
Lin Xue didn't charge much for the clothes hanger; it only cost one coin.
Anyway, the materials are all readily available, so all that's needed is some labor. I doubt anyone would buy them even if they were sold at a high price in this small town.
More than 20 were sold off in succession, and the last 20 or so were bought by a wealthy lady.
Lin Xue looked at the wealthy woman and noticed a lingering dark aura between her brows.
After thinking about it, I caught up with the other person anyway.
"Beautiful sister, I shouldn't have said anything, but my master is Master Li Chuandao, and as his disciple, I can't remain silent now that I've come across him!"
Lin Xue walked up to the wealthy woman and said hesitantly.
"Are you Master Li's disciple?"
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I didn't recognize you just now!"
The wealthy woman was initially displeased that Lin Xue had stopped her, but she became somewhat flustered when she heard Lin Xue introduce herself.
She knew Master Li; there was no one in the entire Qingshui Town who didn't know Master Li.
Since it was Master Li's disciple who stopped him, there must be something wrong with him.
"Young Taoist priest, is there anything wrong with me?"
The wealthy woman looked herself over and found nothing unusual; these were all her usual clothes and accessories.
"Pretty sister, I won't lie to you anymore. I see dark energy between your brows, so there must be something unclean in your house!"
"I'm just an apprentice, so I can't see much, but since I've noticed something unusual, I'm determined to nip it in the bud!"
"Otherwise, it will be too late when something really bad happens!"
After listening to Lin Xue's words, the wealthy woman thought about it and realized that her family had indeed recently purchased a batch of items.
Their family had always lived peacefully without any problems, so the issue must lie with these newly purchased items.
He glanced at Lin Xue, then at Hei Jiao standing behind her.
After taking a closer look, the wealthy woman finally remembered that although she had never seen Lin Xue before, she had seen the young Taoist priest behind her.
Isn't this the little disciple who always follows Master Li around?
Therefore, the identities of these two people cannot be faked.
"Why don't you two Taoist priests come to my house for a while? My husband went out of town on business a couple of days ago and brought back a batch of fine tea!"
"I find this young lady pleasing to the eye, so come back with me and sit for a while!"
Although the wealthy woman still wore a smile on her face, she was inwardly panicking.
Regardless, she was determined to invite the two young Taoist priests to her home to help with the selection process.
As long as the two are brought home, even if they encounter something that the two young Taoist disciples cannot handle, wouldn't Master Li be there to take the blame?
So the wealthy woman affectionately took Lin Xue's hand and led her home.
As soon as she entered the house, Lin Xue was drawn to a water vat placed in the corner of the yard.
She didn't shy away from it; instead, she let go of the rich woman's hand and went straight to the large vat.
"This is a water vat that Grandpa just bought from out of town. I heard it makes a sound when you put water in it, but oh dear, I can't really explain it!"
"Little Xue, is there something wrong with my tank?"
In such a short time on the road, the wealthy woman had already figured out the situation of Lin Xue and her companion.
It has to be said, no wonder they're so rich, their social skills are top-notch.
Of course, Lin Xue also inquired about the situation of the wealthy woman's family.
The wealthy woman's surname was Liu, and her given name was Liu Meier.
She married a wealthy businessman surnamed Zhao, named Sancai, who was a well-known wealthy businessman in the town.
Zhao Sancai often went to other places to do business, and occasionally he would bring back some strange things.
Items like wall clocks, pocket watches, and eyeglasses that came from the West, as well as local specialties, antiques, and jade artifacts.
I brought back quite a few things this time, including some valuable furniture and this large water vat.
"Sister Liu, since you've asked me, I'll tell you the truth!"
Lin Xue glanced at Liu Meier, then turned her attention back to the large vat.
Hei Jiao stood in front of the vat with his junior sister. Although he couldn't see anything strange about it, he just felt that the vat was a bit awkward.
"Sister Liu, this is not a water vat..."
"This is……"
The words that were about to come out couldn't be said. However, judging from the fact that the dust on the jar hadn't been cleaned off, it seemed that this family had never used this jar to drink water.
Thinking this way, the awkwardness subsided.
"Oh, Little Xue! Just say what's on your mind, why are you being so polite with your older sister?"
Seeing Lin Xue's hesitant look, Liu Meier knew that this jar was probably not a good thing.
"Sister Liu, this vat isn't a water vat, it's a manure vat buried in the ground!"
"If you smell carefully, you can probably still smell the stench. Although this vat was made to the standard of a water vat, its owner later buried it underground as a latrine!"
Heijiao sniffed and could indeed smell an earthy, foul odor.
"Junior sister is right. I didn't notice anything unusual just now, but now that you mention it, there is indeed a smell of earthiness!"
As the two spoke with such certainty, Liu Meier's expression became somewhat strange.
"Master, you've really misjudged it! You even said this jar was some kind of treasure!"
