"Master, this woman seems to have a scent that doesn't belong to a living person!"
The lightning sword spoke in my mind, transmitting its message telepathically.
At that moment, his senses were immediately aroused.
Hearing his words, my heart tightened.
Doesn't look like a living person?
I began to examine this person with my third eye. Although she looked very strange, there was no black aura surrounding her, nor any evil energy.
This eeriness is indescribable; it's as if he's a puppet whose strings have fallen off, his movements becoming stiff from time to time.
Overall, it looks quite natural.
It's just in some gestures and movements.
It was at this moment that the woman pulled on her seatbelt from the middle of the car!
This scene left me completely dumbfounded.
Did this person actually ride in the car?
Normally, everyone should know that the vehicle was pulled over from the side.
But the person in front of me simply took it from the middle.
Does that mean wealthy people have never taken a taxi? Or have they simply forgotten how after being in hiding for so long?
Puzzled, I glanced at Lao Liu, who was there telling me about his many years of driving experience and how steady he was when he drove.
Seeing him like this, I figured I wouldn't be able to get him to do anything for a while.
He probably won't consider me and Yiyi anymore.
I gestured to the girl with my eyes, signaling her to nudge the driver from behind.
The driver suddenly seemed to become alert, and turned around sharply to look at the two of us with a puzzled expression.
I fanned my nose with my hand to indicate that I felt something was wrong with the woman, while Lao Liu had a very faint feeling.
Old Liu, on the other hand, had a relaxed expression on his face and was laughing it off.
"We're all friends, it's fate that we've met along the way! Haha!"
Hey, beautiful lady, is the fare for the ride after we arrive at our destination, or...?
Old Liu immediately stood there and smiled apologetically at the woman again.
The woman didn't waste any time and took out two hundred-yuan bills from her emerald green pocket and handed them to him.
"Is that enough to look at?"
"Oh, you're so generous! That's enough, absolutely enough!"
I felt a surge of sneer in my heart. This Lao Liu was truly greedy for money. He charged us 200 yuan for the journey, and he was charging 200 yuan for the woman who came halfway here.
Without saying a word, Lao Liu started driving, but this time he was noticeably more stable than before, though the speed was still just as fast.
After driving for about five minutes, on a smooth road, Lao Liu noticed that the car was quiet, so he started to liven things up.
"Hey beautiful, why did you get on the bus here? There aren't any villages or anything around here."
"Oh, I'm here to take inventory, check on the crops, and visit a friend while I'm at it."
The woman was speaking without raising her head, appearing completely relaxed and at ease, but I still felt incredibly undignified.
I stood in the back row, observing him, and felt a strange, inexplicable discomfort.
"You're really capable, no wonder you can make so much money!"
This place is in the middle of nowhere, you're quite a strong woman to come here all by yourself!
I never expected someone like you to still be working so hard.
If I remember correctly, it's not easy to come here this time of year!
At this moment, the woman spoke very casually.
"Sigh, it's not easy for anyone. I'm just thinking of making as much money as I can."
The woman paused for a moment.
"The cost has gone up again."
It was at this moment, when the woman slightly raised her hand, that I noticed a white flower in her pocket!
Holy crap?
I could see it clearly; those white flowers were not the kind of flowers that would normally be given as gifts.
I glanced at Yiyi beside me; she was already clutching my clothes tightly.
A look of fear flashed in his eyes.
Those flowers are clearly the small white flowers used to commemorate the dead!
Seeing this scene immediately reminded me of Master Jin.
If Master Jin were here, I reckon you could buy it at his shop.
Why would a normal person wear this?
Or rather, what normal person would put this thing in their pocket?
If it were just to attend a funeral, that would be one thing, but now... it makes my heart skip a beat, and I start to doubt this person's identity.
And it was precisely because of this gesture that the little white flower that was stuck in his pocket fell out.
They slid down into the gap between the car and landed right under our feet.
What a coincidence!
I instinctively picked it up and examined it. Yes, it was exactly the kind of flower that people only use when they die.
Some families prepare a lot of these and then scatter them into the air to pave roads.
But this is clearly the Dragon Palace, could there be similar customs here?
Or perhaps this person came from the land?
I was quite puzzled. The place we just passed was clearly one where there were no villages in front or behind, so why would someone be holding a funeral there?
Old Liu seemed to notice our movements and turned to look at us. I gestured to him, then looked at the white flower in my hand, and he also suddenly noticed it.
Then, his playful smile vanished instantly.
Moreover, his eyebrows suddenly shot up, giving him a very alert look.
Looking at his face, it was a stark contrast to what it had just looked like.
He probably felt it was unlucky to have this in a taxi he drives all year round.
However, Lao Liu didn't feel too bad, after all, this woman was very generous.
Finally, Lao Liu forced a wry smile and continued to hold the steering wheel, but I could clearly feel that Lao Liu's hands were trembling a little more than before.
Another awkward silence fell over the car.
After a few more minutes, Lao Liu finally couldn't help but speak up.
"Excuse me, miss, what kind of work do you do?"
The woman didn't seem uncomfortable at all; she simply spoke calmly.
“Those of us who purchase agricultural products need to go to the countryside to buy goods and check out the products during this season. This bag contains some samples.”
Then, the woman pointed to her bag, and when Lao Liu looked at it, he was clearly astonished.
Immediately afterwards, Lao Liu nodded to the woman, gave a couple of casual "hmm" sounds, and then continued driving. However, I noticed that Lao Liu clearly swallowed hard at this moment.
Yi Yi tugged at me, and then I looked at the girl, who was already quite surprised.
I have the same concerns.
Who can afford to buy these clothes just by purchasing agricultural products?
Is someone carrying this kind of bag?
Just a glance at the bag this woman is carrying and it must be worth tens of thousands.
What I saw before me was quite astonishing.
