Chapter 351 Asking for Something (Two chapters in one)
I stood there in a daze with a confused look on my face, wondering what this old man meant. Why did I feel that he...had something else to say?
"Is he still holding a grudge against my master for the knife he used to stab me? Damn it, why is he so afraid to say a word when my senior sister is here? Is he picking on the weak? Do I look like a weakling?"
I shook my head speechlessly, then turned and left.
At this moment, it was getting dark, but the most beautiful thing about Lijiang is the night. The quaint buildings would hang rows of big red lanterns, and even in the river in the center of the town, lanterns would be hung along the road. Some people even took a boat at night specifically to enjoy the night view of Lijiang.
But I didn't have the leisure and elegance. I was unfamiliar with the place, and I was carrying the Soul-Slaying Knife and the Soul-Guiding Lamp. If someone spotted me, I would be in trouble.
At this time, Xiao Qi suddenly came out from my collar with sleepy eyes, rubbed his eyes, and said, "Hey Zhang Qianyu, I'm hungry."
Because Huang Jiu and Su Wen were there, Xiao Qi didn't have the pleasure of eating the big carp. It was almost a day since Xiao Qi hadn't eaten.
"Let's find a place to stay first, and then I'll take you to eat the special food of Lijiang."
I smiled, and then I carried my bag and walked to a homestay.
Lijiang is a very interesting place. In other places, hotels are all those splendid star hotels, but here the most common ones are B&Bs and inns. Inns are crowded and there are all kinds of people, so I didn't choose an inn, but knocked on the door of a B&B.
I had booked this B&B online before. There is only one room, right by the river, and it is a two-story building. Standing on the top floor, you can see the scenery of Lijiang. It is not only comfortable, but also very quiet.
"Is it Mr. Zhang?" A girl in ethnic minority costumes opened the door and looked me up and down with curiosity.
"Yes, I have a reservation." I nodded.
"Okay, please follow me." The girl smiled and took me into the yard.
The yard is not big, but it is full of flowers and plants. The whole yard is filled with pleasant fragrance. Even Xiao Qi couldn't help sniffing and sighing: "It smells so good. Although the snow in the north is beautiful, it's too cold. It's still comfortable here."
I smiled and said nothing. At this time, the woman took me to a small building and said, "Mr. Zhang, this is it. You will be the only one living here these days. If you need three meals a day, we can also provide it."
"No need to bother." I smiled.
"Okay." The girl nodded, then turned around and left.
"Wow, this house is so beautiful. It must have a history of hundreds of years." Xiao Qi looked curious.
Although this small building is not big and not very grand, it exudes an antique charm. In particular, the attic should be lit with sandalwood all year round. Before entering the small building, you can smell a faint fragrance. The fragrance is light but not dissipated. After taking a whiff, the whole person feels refreshed and even the state of mind is calmed.
"Put the things here, and then we will go to eat."
I pushed open the door, but when I pushed open the door and saw the scene inside, I was stunned for a moment.
Because, in the lobby on the first floor of the small building, there was actually... a woman sitting.
I saw her wearing a perfectly tailored cheongsam, with her long hair tied behind her head. Her makeup was very elegant, but the cheongsam was not long. At this moment, she sat there, and her two slender white legs were almost completely exposed to my eyes.
On her feet, she was wearing a pair of black high heels with red soles...
"Why are you here!" I was shocked, then frowned, and almost subconsciously raised my hand and pressed the Zanling Sword in my backpack: "Why are you here?"
This person was none other than the woman with a beauty mole on the corner of her mouth that I met in Le Fu Xiang before.
"This is my home, why can't I be here?" At this moment, the woman was sitting in front of a sandalwood table, her legs crossed, holding a teacup in her hand and making tea.
Seeing my alert look, she smiled and said, "Two months ago, the shopkeeper of Lefuxiang said that a distinguished person would come to Lefuxiang. Alas, I have been waiting for this distinguished person in Yunnan for several years. I was looking forward to it day and night, and finally this distinguished person came. Who would have thought that he would not see me at all. Fortunately, the shopkeeper said that the distinguished person also had a junior brother who would come soon. So, my sister and I stayed at Lefuxiang day and night. Fortunately, hard work pays off, and finally you, a great distinguished person, came."
I frowned when I heard this, thinking to myself, this woman had even set her sights on my senior sister before?
This is really a long-lived old man buying arsenic, and she is impatient to live.
With my senior sister's temper, let alone asking her to do something, this woman looks like a cunning cunning woman, my senior sister would be lucky if she didn't give her two slaps in the face.
"But in this case, the shopkeeper of Le Fu Xiang is also an information dealer who sells second-hand gossip? Damn, this information must have made a lot of money, right? Also, this woman didn't get in touch with my senior sister, so she came to me out of desperation? Am I a spare tire?"
"Little brother, the tea is ready, come in and have some tea." The woman smiled at me, and when she saw me standing there motionless, she stood up and walked towards me, saying, "Look at you, why are you so wary of others, can I eat you? Besides, you are my noble, I wish I could worship you."
"Miss...er, ma'am, what can I do for you? If you just want to drink tea, then the tea is ready, please enjoy. If you are here to ask me to do something, then I'm sorry, I can't agree to your request because I don't have the ability. Also, I have already rented this place, I don't want to be disturbed, if you don't have anything to do, please leave."
"Haha, sister spent a lot of money to buy this small building in order to wait for you. Do you like it here? If you like it, sister can take you there?" She said to me with a smile, and after she finished speaking, she blinked at me very charmingly.
But my heart skipped a beat.
It's not that this woman successfully seduced me. Although I came from a small mountain village, there was a demon widow in our village.
Before, I only thought that Widow Wang was beautiful, but there was no comparison. After I walked out, I found that Widow Wang was not beautiful at all, she was really beautiful.
The woman in front of me was of top-notch appearance, but she was far inferior to Widow Wang.
Not to mention her charm, Widow Wang was even more charming.
The reason why my heart skipped a beat was because this woman said that she actually bought this place to wait for me?
Moreover, he is giving it to me?
"Are people in big cities so generous?" I was a little surprised.
You know, my master only gets a few hundred yuan for hosting a funeral in the countryside. If it is a bad year and many people die, life can be a little better.
If those old men and women are alive and well all day long and just don't die, then the quality of life of my master and I will plummet.
And this small building, with the house prices in the small city of Lijiang, must be worth tens of millions, or even more, right?
"Just helping her once, and getting a reward of tens of millions? Oh my god, no wonder most of those practitioners specialize in Feng Shui, this thing is... really profitable!"
But then, my expression darkened again.
"How did this woman know that I had booked this place and bought it in advance? Could it be that she was secretly investigating me?"
The woman seemed to see through my thoughts and immediately smiled apologetically: "Little brother, you also know that the whereabouts of masters like you are erratic. I finally got this news and I must not miss it, so I... used some connections to check your recent schedule. I am sorry for the offense, little brother."
After she finished speaking, she suddenly grabbed my hand. I frowned and was about to speak, but she leaned over directly and leaned into my arms.
Oh my god, I have never experienced such a battle in my life. I was immediately confused and my heart almost jumped out of my throat.
She saw my embarrassment and immediately smiled, saying, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Come in first. As for whether you can help me or not, you have to see the reward first, right? What if the reward I give you makes you tempted?"
I hesitated for a while, and finally sighed and followed her into the small building.
"Tell me, what do you want me to help you with?" After sitting down, I got straight to the point, but the woman was not in a hurry. She first poured me a cup of tea, then rolled her eyes at me and said, "You don't even ask her name? Don't people in your line of work ask for her name first and then her horoscope?"
"No need." I shook my head. "From your face, you haven't encountered any dirty things, and you haven't had any disasters recently, so you came to me either to ask for marriage or wealth. Although your face is rosy, your blood and qi are obviously insufficient. This can be seen from your slightly dark circles under your eyes and the acne on your forehead, which shows that you haven't had sex for a long time. Also, although you have a pair of peach blossom eyes, , but there is no spring light in your eyes, which means that you have no desire for sex, so you are not seeking marriage. Since you are not seeking marriage, you must be seeking wealth, and to seek wealth, it is not enough to just ask about your birth date, you also need to go to your residence to check the Feng Shui, so it is useless to ask about your birth date before going to your residence, so it is better not to ask. "
When I said this, the woman was stunned at first, and then her face blushed.
"Look at what you said." She rolled her eyes at me, but there was a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Obviously, she was shocked by what I said.
Many people in business or politics believe in Feng Shui very much.
And those who have some knowledge of Feng Shui are basically old men over 70 years old.
But I am only eighteen years old. Although the things I have experienced recently have quickly matured me, making me look less immature and more stable, I can't hide my vitality.
If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely not believe me. Even with the introduction of the manager of Le Fu Xiang, they would definitely be skeptical.
But what I said just now definitely shocked her, but I guess I still haven't completely dispelled her doubts. After all, the skill of talking will never be as convincing as the real ability to make people believe.
However, I didn't want to convince her. I was just a little curious about what kind of reward she could offer.
"Little brother, you are young, but you know a lot." He rolled his eyes at me again, then stood up, took out a backpack from under the table, opened it, and took out a box from it.
"Little brother, if you are willing to help me, then as a reward, the things in the box are yours." He smiled at this, and then continued: "Compared with the things in the box, this small building is a bonus. After all, the things in the box should be more attractive to people like you."
I was curious when I heard it. Why did this woman swear that the things in the box would move me?
What was in the box?
"Little brother, open it and take a look." The woman pushed the box in front of me.
I hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't resist my curiosity and picked up the box.
The box was not locked, and I opened it with a light push.
When the box was opened, the contents immediately appeared in front of me.
"What is this..."
I was puzzled, because the box contained a piece of paper.
