I am building a fairy garden on earth

Chapter 68
Morning light, curfew ends...

The patrolling soldiers of Hongyang City yawned and opened the city gate. It was still the early hours of the [-]th and [-]th...

Vendors setting up stalls are shouting, pedestrians going to the market are chatting with each other, and the apricot-yellow recruitment list on the bulletin board is still eye-catching...

as usual...

Xu Boqing strolled on the street, looked at the passers-by, and thought of himself a year ago, penniless, in order to fill his stomach, borrowing fortune-telling...

As if it happened yesterday.

Perhaps because of revisiting the old place, he felt more and more that this year passed too fast, too fast...

Seeing the steamed stuffed bun shop by the side of the road, he sat down at the table and said with a smile, "Boss, serve me twenty fresh meat buns and eat here."

"Hey~ twenty..."

The boss was busy doing business in front of the shop, and when he heard someone asking for twenty steamed buns, he reminded him without turning his head: "Guest officer, each of our big steamed buns has thin skin and thick filling, and ordinary people will be full after eating three or five. Are you sure you want twenty?"

"Sure, just twenty."

Xu Boqing got up and went to make a bowl of hot and spicy soup and pickles, and poured some oily and spicy peppers. He sat back at the table and took a sip. He immediately felt appetizing and saliva, and the taste was still the same...

"Guest officer, your twenty buns are here~"

The boss directly took the drawer of two steamed buns, put them on the table and took out a plate of steamed buns in the drawer...

"Guest officer, to tell you the truth, I've been selling steamed buns here for 30 years, and it's rare to see a guest officer who can eat twenty steamed stuffed buns in one go. The last time I saw it was probably a year ago."

"Oh?"

Xu Boqing smiled slightly when he heard the words, and asked, "Does the boss remember what that person looks like?"

"I can't remember, but I won't lie to you~"

Seeing his strange expression, the owner of the steamed stuffed bun shop thought he didn't believe him, and said, "I remember that he was still a young man, maybe not as old as you. I'm afraid of that guy even if he looks good."

"Uh...hahahahaha."

Xu Boqing smiled, didn't know what he thought of, and said in a teasing tone: "It may be that the steamed buns are too fragrant, boss, and the soup is too appetizing, or it may be that the young man was too hungry at that time~"

"Hahaha…"

The owner of the steamed stuffed bun shop saw that he was dressed in an extraordinary manner, so he wanted to chat a little more, but he saw someone outside the shop buying steamed stuffed buns...

So he said as if selling: "Guest officer, take it easy, if you can finish eating these twenty buns in our shop, I will give you a free order~"

"Okay, boss, you are busy."

Xu Boqing waved his hands, and began to deal with the two cages of buns in front of him with pickles...

Still that smell...

After eating, he saw that the owner of the bun shop was still busy in front of the shop, and he said in a teasing tone: "Boss, all twenty of your big buns have fallen into my stomach."

The owner of the steamed stuffed bun shop glanced back when he heard the words, and saw that the two drawers of steamed stuffed buns had been eaten up, and said with a bold smile, "Guest officer, you go, I'll take this order."

"Boss Gao Yi~~"

Xu Boqing smiled, and when he went out, he casually took out a small piece of broken silver, flicked it with his fingers, and the broken silver fell silently into the pocket of the bun shop owner...

Following his memory, he turned around in the morning meeting, and when he saw the fortune-telling booth in the corner, he raised his brows without a trace.

The fortune-telling sails hanging behind the booth read "Gods and Wonderful Counts, You Need to Ask", "Foretelling the Universe and Dao Miaoxian", which are exactly what I wrote when I borrowed Liu Laogen's booth to make money...

At this time, Liu Laogen was sitting in front of the stall, stroking the goatee on his chin with one hand, and stroking the hand of a woman from a good family who came to tell the fortune with the other, eating tofu from others by reading his palm.

He didn't even notice that the "junior brother" whom Miss Wang had been looking for a year ago was looking at him from the side of the street...

Xu Boqing shook his head, seeing that he was alive and well, he didn't seem to stop thinking about talking to him just because his signboard was smashed.

Suddenly...

He paused, and unexpectedly saw the benefactor surnamed Niu whom he met when he set up a fortune-telling stall...

It's just that Niu Ben at this time has changed a bit compared to a year ago...

Xu Boqing frowned slightly...

In his impression, although this 'Niu Ye' is the kind of gambler who can grind calluses on his hands, he is not bad in terms of his family background or his own spirit.

But now, he still has a string of money coiled in his hand, a fortune amulet hanging around his waist, and he is not badly dressed. Obviously, his family is fairly well off...

The strange thing is that at this time, his Yintang is black, his complexion is sallow, and his steps are a little shaky, but even his eyes are clouded a lot, and he looks like he has aged ten years.

There is also a very strange aura faintly exuding from him...

His complexion is sallow, and his walking is sluggish. These may be caused by a serious illness, but Yintang turns black and looks like he is about to die, and there is still a strange smell on his body, so what's the explanation?
Xu Boqing thought about it for a while, but didn't want to understand what was going on. Seeing the cow rushing to Liu Laogen's stall, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the figures in his sight showed visions like faded scrolls...

Under the observation of the "Tianmu Fayan", it is clearly visible that Niu Ben is wrapped around a circle of looming silk threads. The strangest thing is that his body has collapsed, and his internal organs are like an old man who is dying, almost exhausted.

This……

At this time, Liu Laogen had just sent the female benefactor away, and when he saw Niu Ben coming yawning, he complimented him with a smile: "What kind of wind is this today, that it brought Master Niu here?"

"Come less, come less..."

Niu Ben rubbed his waist and sat on the small bench, and asked as usual: "Old man Liu, do you really have no junior brother?"

"..."

Liu Laogen groaned secretly, since last year a thief pretended to be his junior brother to occupy a fortune-telling booth, this Niu Ben would come here every few days to inquire about the clues of the 'junior brother'.

No matter how he explains it, this person just doesn't believe it...

He said with a bitter face: "Master Niu, I really didn't lie to you. That Taoist priest is really not my junior brother. Besides, I have never worshiped a teacher. Where did the junior brother come from?"

"It's a pity, it's a pity..."

Niu Ben was speechless secretly, and said several times that it was a pity.

On that day a year ago, after he had a fortune-telling, he took money to gamble. At first, he won less and lost more, but he was secretly angry and wanted to smash the fortune-telling...

But in the evening, he suddenly started to change his luck like a divination, and at the end of the day, he won exactly doubled! !

This makes him happy...

Winning money is secondary, the most important thing is that the little Taoist priest is too accurate, no... not the little Taoist priest... it should be the God of Wealth!
I want to invite this 'God of Wealth' home...

Wouldn't every bet be won in the future?

When he went to the stall to invite someone, Liu Laogen told him that he had no "junior brother" at all, and he didn't know any young Taoist priests...

The 'God of Wealth' seemed to appear out of thin air, and then disappeared out of thin air, making him in a trance for a long time.

Even now, I can't forget it...

He sighed and was about to get up to leave, but as if he had thought of something, he stopped and asked, "Old man Liu, you are a fortune teller, do you know what is causing my back pain?"

"Back pain!?"

Liu Laogen was taken aback for a moment, and quickly observed Niu Ben's face, but he didn't know what he could see. A professional smile appeared on his face, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Master Niu, has he indulged in lust recently?"

"Indulgence? It seems a little..."

Niu Ben didn't know what he thought of, and he sat back in front of the booth again with a smile, showing an expression that a man should understand, and said: "A few days ago, a group of beauties came to Siqingfang, and the tender ones can squeeze out water. "

His voice paused, seeing Liu Laogen's embarrassing expression, he said with some disdain: "You old bastard is cheating and abducting all day long, you really should go there to see the world."
