Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 10 Cockroaches
To the southeast of the School of Business and Industry is the School of Logistics, and to the southwest is the School of Computer Science.

The three schools are separated by a north-south asphalt road and face each other across the road.The Business School is on the east side of the road, and the other two colleges are on the west side of the road.

Ding Ermiao just followed the asphalt road and complained to Ji Xiaoxiao in his heart.

It's a little after eight o'clock and not yet nine o'clock, and the lights are shining like daylight.

On both sides of the road, there are vendors setting up stalls and doing business.Behind these stalls are shops facing the street, including those selling clothing, restaurants, and Internet cafes.

After all, it is the location of three colleges. Although it is during the summer vacation, there are still many students and teachers staying at the school, plus the surrounding aborigines, so this road is very busy.Red men and green women are like crucian carps crossing the river.

Looking at the various stalls and vendors on the roadside, Ding Ermiao suddenly had an idea.I stole some elixirs and medicinal wine from my master's alchemy room. I just want to sell a few, but I still have no money to spend?
Thinking of this, Ding Ermiao found an open space on the roadside and squatted down. He opened his backpack, took out a bottle of medicinal wine and placed it on the ground. He followed the example of other vendors and shouted at the top of his voice:

"Come, come, come... Don't miss it if you pass by. The top-quality medicated wine contains Tianwang Buxin Dan and Liuwei Dihuang Pills, which can cure your curvature of the front and back..."

After shouting for a long time, no customer came to talk to me.

Ding Ermiao shook his head, put away the medicinal wine, replaced two yellow cloth talismans and spread them on the ground, and shouted again: "Maoshan Zhenzong amulet, if you have one talisman on your body, all evil will be protected!"

After shouting a few times, a young man and woman, both in their early twenties, came over.The girl has short hair and wears a low-cut dress.The boy wears glasses and moves intimately with the girl.Judging by their looks, they must be a pair of college students.

The girl took the boy's arm, and they squatted down together, looking down at the charms on the ground.

Uh..., so white!Ding Ermiao's eyes involuntarily penetrated into the girl's collar, and she made a swallowing sound in her throat: Gudong.

"Hey, is this thing of yours really a charm painted by Maoshan Taoist priest?" The girl raised her head and asked Ding Ermiao.

When she saw Ding Ermiao staring at her chest, her face changed. She held her collar with her hands and glared at Ding Ermiao viciously.

"Oh..., yes, that's right, Maoshan Taoist Talisman, guaranteed to be genuine. This is the only one, no branches." Ding Ermiao came to his senses and quickly put on a smile on his face to sell his talisman.

The boy frowned slightly: "This talisman...how much does it cost?"

"It's not expensive, it's just..." Ding Ermiao hesitated.

In the past, on the mountain, there were some rich and powerful people who went to Master to ask for Dao Talismans. Master always paid 2 yuan a piece, and refused to bargain.But can the person in front of me two years ago have so much money?
Just take half of it.

So Ding Ermiao said with a smile: "Meeting is fate, I will charge you 1 yuan. If you want two together, I will give you a discount, a total of [-] yuan..."

"You're crazy. A piece of cloth as big as your palm costs 1 yuan! I think you're out of your mind because you want to get rich. You're a liar!" Before Ding Ermiao could finish speaking, the young man and woman had already stood up and raised their feet. go.

"Hey, hey, you two..., you should take a look before you talk, hey..." Ding Ermiao looked at the two people's retreating figures, angrily.It was already a bloodbath sale, and he was actually called a lunatic.

The vendors setting up stalls on both sides looked over with pity in their eyes.

The sister-in-law selling trinkets on the left leaned towards Ding Ermiao and asked, "Young man, is this your first time setting up a stall?"

"Yes." Ding Ermiao nodded.

The sister-in-law smiled: "Just your two pieces of yellow cloth, let alone 1 yuan, can't be sold for ten yuan. You are young, go and learn some crafts. You can't make a living or make a fortune with this." well……"

"This..." Ding Ermiao put away the amulet depressedly and walked towards the four-way intersection ahead.Obviously, the sister-in-law who set up the stall just now also regarded herself as a liar.

Can I, a noble disciple of Maoshan, be capable of cheating?After studying Taoism for 12 years, Ding Ermiao naturally knows that cheating, abducting, and stealing are all detrimental to Taoism.Throughout the ages, none of the senior disciples who learned Taoism but did not follow the right path met a happy death.

Now I have to go further away and try my luck again.

The red light happened to turn on at the four-way intersection in front of the School of Computer Science.A motorcycle stopped next to Ding Ermiao, also waiting for the red light.

"Hey, brother, I see that your hall is dark, your eyes are dull, and your middle is crooked. I'm afraid there will be a bloody disaster. Why don't you... let me break it for you? Just treat me to a meal." Ding Ermiao looked sincere. Di said to the man on the motorcycle.

From the perspective of a Taoist sorcerer, the life lamps on the man's shoulders were dim, which was an ominous sign.

"You are the one who caused the bloody disaster!" The motorcyclist was furious, took off his goggles and pulled off his mask: "Where are you from? I'm wearing a helmet, sunglasses and a mask, and you can see my face, eyes and face. middle?!"

This is two days before the Hungry Ghost Festival, July [-]th.

Some nearby residents burned paper for their dead relatives on the roadside, and smoke and paper ashes filled the sky.So even though it was night, this biker was still armed to the teeth, including a helmet, mask, and glasses.

"Now that you have your helmet, glasses and mask, didn't I see your eyes and chin?" Ding Ermiao smiled and persisted.

When the green light turned on, the motorcyclist glared at Ding Ermiao viciously: "If you weren't in a hurry, I would have beaten you up!" Then he stepped on the accelerator and jumped out with a whoosh.

Ding Ermiao shrugged: "If you don't listen to the advice of experts, you will suffer the consequences. Alas..."

Before the sighing stopped, there was only a loud bang. The motorcycle fell to the ground and spun several times like a top.

It was a car rushing to a red light that crashed into a motorcycle, and the driver flew directly into the green belt on the side of the road.

"Ah...!" The motorcyclist was lying in the greenery, screaming loudly: "Help, help! My arm, my arm seems to be broken."

One of his arms protruded from the bushes, dripping with blood.

The passers-by around were taken aback for a moment, then quickly surrounded him.Enthusiastic people comforted and asked while contacting the ambulance.

Originally, Ding Ermiao wanted to go over and give this guy a simple bandage, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.

If I go there now, that guy will definitely think of me as a crow's mouth.Anyway, he just broke his arm and the hospital will take care of it.

Continuing to walk forward, there is a small restaurant in front of me, with a strong aroma of vegetables wafting out.Stimulated by the aroma of vegetables and wine, Ding Ermiao's stomach growled unsatisfactorily, and the bells and drums rang in unison with an astonishing force.

He had eaten a bowl of fried rice on the mountain in the morning, and now more than ten hours had passed, during which he had only drank a few sips of mountain spring water.

I need to get something to put my stomach on!As for the money for food, let’s wait until we’re full.Ding Ermiao gritted her teeth in her heart and walked towards a small restaurant in front of her with her head held high.

This restaurant is called "Rupingtu Restaurant". It is a small store with only two bungalows.It seems to serve poor students, and the tables inside are very crowded.There was only a round table in the corner, probably the VIP seat.

There were four or five young people sitting on the round table with colorful hair.One of the diners had no hair yet, his bald head shining in the light.Several people were drinking beer and making loud noises as if no one was around.

Seeing Ding Ermiao push the door in, a sweet-looking girl came over: "Hi, are you eating?"

"Yes, let's eat." Ding Ermiao nodded, sat down at a table, and put down his backpack and umbrella.

In addition to himself and the five young people at the round table, there was a young couple eating near the door. Both of them lowered their heads and whispered.

"How many people are there?" The waitress handed over the menu: "Here is the menu. Take a look."

"I'm the only one." Ding Ermiao glanced at the menu: "Braised pork sausage, braised beef, braised chicken, braised crucian carp, braised tofu..."

He ordered six dishes in one go and then closed the menu without finishing.

One person has to eat so much, Zhu Bajie descends to earth, is this?The waitress was stunned for a long time, wrote down the names of the dishes, poured another cup of tea for Ding Ermiao, and then walked to the back kitchen.

Soon, a plate of braised beef and braised tofu was served.

Ding Ermiao ordered two more bottles of beer, opened his cheeks and ate and drank.

The remaining dishes were also delivered one after another by the waiters.While Ding Ermiao was eating, she was thinking in her mind, what will she use to pay the bill later?Should I use Peace Talisman or Bone-setting Water?
Ding Ermiao's gorging and babbling sounds seemed to arouse the dissatisfaction of the five diners at the round table.The bald head among them turned his face and glanced at him impatiently.

What are you looking at? I’ve never seen such a handsome and powerful guy?Ding Ermiao glared at him angrily.

The bald head was stunned for a moment, then suddenly grinned silently, with a sinister and disdainful smile.

Ding Ermiao was also stunned. This guy was a stranger to him. Why was he laughing for no reason?He picked up a piece of beef and threw it into his mouth, looking at the movement on the round table casually.

But the next scene almost made Ding Ermiao spit out the beef in his mouth.

I saw the bald man with a lewd smile on his face, and he took out a dead cockroach from his pocket.

He picked up the cockroach in his hand, raised his arm, and spun half a circle in the air. Then, he gently dropped the dead cockroach on the plate in front of them.

At this time, the sweet-looking waiter in the restaurant happened to go to the back hall to serve the dishes.In the front hall, there are only Ding Ermiao and other customers who are eating.

Come on, there are still cockroaches that have been eaten to death?Ding Ermiao didn't understand what the bald head meant, and frowned slightly.

When I was wondering, I saw the bald head slamming the dining table and yelling: "Boss, boss! Come over and see what you are cooking, there is a big dead cockroach in it!"

The slap was so heavy that the cups and dishes on the dining table jumped and pinged.

Seeing this, Ding Ermiao finally understood that these guys were deliberately looking for trouble.

But this bald man actually came to frame someone else's restaurant in front of himself and another couple of customers. Isn't it too arrogant?
