Ji Nanfeng diligently supported Ruan Tang's arm, and pressed his hand on her waist from time to time, which made Ruan Tang's brows relax.
The two men went out from the back door and turned out, and saw a woman in coarse clothes holding a broken tortoise shell and muttering to herself.
"It's not advisable to go out today. If you go out, you will see blood."
"What kind of idiotic fortune is this? It's almost bloody and yet it still has a good fortune."
"We have to recalculate..."
Ruan Tang shook her head. Feudal superstitions really do harm to people. Look at the fortune teller, he has driven himself crazy.
Ji Nanfeng explained, "Dama Lane was originally inhabited by prominent families from Hongyang County. These people have experienced so many things, it's inevitable that a few of them have become biased."
"People who believe in superstition don't like being seen. If they get into trouble, they'll be in trouble. Let's get out of here quickly."
He turned a corner and walked away, holding on to the wall.
An old man walking towards me, leaning on a cane, was walking and wiping his tears. He looked very pitiful, and kept muttering, "I'm old, and I can't do anything anymore."
Seeing Ruan Tang and his wife standing against the wall, he was so moved that he burst into tears.
"Brother and sister, I'm asking for information. My nephew lives in Dama Lane, but I'm a year older and I got dizzy after walking around. He has two daughters, about eighteen or nineteen years old. They're very pretty and everyone praises them."
"My eldest nephew often boasts that his two daughters are the beauties of Dama Lane. Anyone who asks knows who they are. You, do you know?"
Ruan Tang and Ji Nanfeng looked at each other. There were crackling sparks in Ruan Tang's eyes. Ji Nanfeng understood and silently looked away.
"Hmm, let me think, isn't that the family?" Ruan Tang pointed to her head. "Oh, the words are on the tip of my tongue but I can't say them."
The old man looked at Ruan Tang expectantly, "Big sister, think about that family whose two daughters are both the most beautiful girls in the area."
Ruan Tang pointed for a long time before finally remembering, "You're talking about the Xiang family, right?"
"Yes, it's the Xiang family! Do you know why?"
Ruan Tang pointed casually, "Go forward 300 meters, then 200 meters to the left, 300 meters to the right, and then 100 meters to the right."
The old man with the cane was very grateful to Ruan Tang for his kind guidance and walked away tremblingly.
As soon as she said that, Ruan Tang jumped up from where she was standing, "Ji Nanfeng, there's something wrong with that old man! Quick, call the police!"
Based on her extensive experience in bone palpation, she knew that the old man's spine had an abnormal, compressive curvature, in other words, he was deliberately hunching over. There must be something wrong with him!
Moreover, the old man kept calling her "Big Sister." An old man with one foot halfway into his grave was calling her the 21-year-old "Big Flower of the Motherland." Was "Big Sister" appropriate?!
So, there must be something wrong with this person.
"The person has disappeared. I'll follow him to see what's going on."
Ji Nanfeng was about to leave when Ruan Tang grabbed his sleeve. "I'm going too."
"Your waist and legs are no longer sore?
Ruan Tang shook her legs and bent her waist, there was absolutely no problem.
"I just said to go forward and then back, so it should be left and then back, right?"
Ruan Tang pointed aimlessly, unable to remember where he was. The two of them turned into the alley where the old man had disappeared and began searching frantically.
"Go report it to the police, and I'll go look for it."
Ruan Tang agreed and parted ways with Ji Nanfeng.
Ruan Tang walked around in circles and heard the voices of two middle-aged women.
"There's a local white rabbit hide in front. It's definitely top-notch."
"What's the price?"
"Two catties and three ounces, no cheating for children or old people."
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up."
Ruan Tang was shocked. This was the jargon used by beggars.
In the 1980s and 1990s, beggars were rampant. At that time, a residential compound in Shanghai even organized a special class to learn the industry jargon and beware of beggars.
If she remembered correctly, white skin refers to married women, local refers to locals, two pounds and three ounces refers to twenty-three years old, and east-west sticks refers to people with good looks.
Ruan Tang was a little anxious. By the time she called the police, the person might have already been knocked unconscious.
But I just broke up with Ji Nanfeng again.
Wait a minute, could that old man pretending to be a hunchback also be a beggar?
Seeing that only the backs of the two people could be seen, Ruan Tang gritted her teeth and followed.
"I just saw a white leather one with a shiny, oily texture. If it weren't so difficult to handle, I would have bought it today."
"Make a note of the location. I'll come back later to see if it's for sale."
The more Ruan Tang listened, the more frightened she became. This group of people were truly inhumane. They even targeted pregnant women and waited until they gave birth before taking pictures.
These two people were so unscrupulous, it seemed like they were used to it. Ruan Tang was sure that there must be someone secretly supporting them.
Ruan Tang became more cautious and followed the two of them from a distance.
Who would have thought that after wandering around, they ended up in the alley near their home.
The mysterious fortune-teller was still squatting at the door, fiddling with the broken tortoise shell.
The woman in the middle of the two exchanged glances and came closer, "Big sister, I want to ask you something..."
When Liu Xiangyun looked up, she saw the middle-aged woman throwing something white in front of her.
Without thinking, she picked up the tortoise shell and hit the woman's nose wildly!
It's time!
Ruan Tang picked up a bricklayer on the roadside, rushed up and slapped the woman on the back of the head!
The woman fell down immediately.
Another woman was hit on the nose, tears welled up in her eyes, and her nose bled. She was knocked unconscious by the tortoise shell.
"Do you have a rope? Tie up these two beggars and send them to the police."
Liu Xiangyun blinked desperately at Ruan Tang. Ruan Tang clenched his hands tightly to move the bricks, but before he could turn around, he was knocked unconscious by a club.
When Ruan Tang woke up, she found herself in a sack, being carried on someone's shoulders and shaking.
Ruan Tang didn't dare to make a sound. She looked out through the gap in the sack and found that the person carrying him entered a house and went downstairs.
In the dark basement, the man left her and ran away.
Only when the basement returned to darkness did Ruan Tang move.
Liu Xiangyun hurried over to help Ruan Tang untie the rope of the sack. Ruan Tang poked her head out of the sack and saw a room full of women lying on the ground.
The two looked at each other, moved to the corner, and exchanged information.
It turned out that after Ruan Tang knocked the woman unconscious, the beggar came out from the dark and knocked her unconscious.
Afterwards, Liu Xiangyun was also knocked unconscious and taken away.
Liu Xiangyun was brought in ten minutes earlier, using her tortoise shell to break open the sack. Ruan Tang arrived shortly after.
The two of them should be in the basement under a house now, and these women should have been brought here by the beggar.
"These people must have taken drugs and won't wake up for a while." Ruan Tang said after examining them.
Therefore, Pahuazi didn't have time to feed them the sleeping pills. It must be because he was accidentally tripped and didn't have time to feed them.
This accident was most likely caused by Ji Nanfeng.
The door was locked and I couldn't get out. I could only wait for Paihuazi to come and then wait for an opportunity to move.
Ruan Tang leaned against the wall, looking at the broken tortoise shell in Liu Xiangyun's hand. "How about you tell me a fortune? Can I escape from here today?"
"Do you believe it?"
Ruan Tang nodded, "I believe it." She didn't believe it before, but now that she's been locked up here, she has to find some spiritual support.
Since the end of feudalism, Ruan Tang was the first person to ask her for fortune-telling.
Liu Xiangyun used all his strength and, determined to win over old customers, he threw the broken tortoise shell out three times in a row. When he was about to throw it for the fourth time, he was stopped by Ruan Tang.
"It will break if you drop it again."
"What did the divination say? Is this where I'm going to die?"
