Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 312 Evil Dragon
The old man's stall is just a piece of white paper with four words written on it: Mai Yi Shen Xiang.

"Ten dollars." The old man stretched out the index fingers of his left and right hands and put them together to form a cross.

Ding Ermiao scratched his head, frowned and yelled, "Isn't it too expensive? My hometown fortune telling only costs two and a half yuan."

"It's not expensive! I see that your eyes are dark and black, and you will suffer a bloody disaster within a few days! You spend ten yuan to read your fortune, and I will show you a way out. Is it expensive?" The old man looked upright and said solemnly:
"Just now, Lao Li, who sells curtains in the north building opposite, just didn't listen to my advice, so he was possessed by an evil spirit. He fell from the second floor and died on the spot. What do you think is more important, money or life?"

Oh, so awesome?Ding Ermiao smiled inwardly and wanted to make some jokes with the old man, but Gu Qinglan had already handed over a one hundred dollar bill.

"Old man, I'll give you a hundred, but we want to hear the truth." Gu Qinglan said lightly.

"Ma Yi's look"'s eyes lit up, he grabbed Gu Qinglan's money, looked at the sun and stuffed it into his pocket.When several colleagues around him saw Gu Qinglan's generous spending, they all looked at him with envy and hatred.

"Girl, sit down and talk." Ma Yi smiled, took out a horse from behind and asked Gu Qinglan to sit down.Gu Qinglan refused to sit down and declined with a smile.Ding Ermiao was not polite, took the maza and sat on it.

Mai Yi's eyes swept over the faces of Ding Ermiao and Gu Qinglan. He trimmed his long beard and asked in a pretentious manner: "Girl, brother, what do you want to ask?"

"Didn't you say that I had a bloody disaster? Let's start with the bloody disaster." Ding Ermiao said with a sideways glance.

Ma Yi's expression rolled his eyes and opened his mouth to talk nonsense: "Little handsome guy, your facial appearance is very bad. I said you were in danger of blood and light, and I definitely didn't mean to scare you..."

"Okay, okay, that's not what we're asking about." Gu Qinglan quickly waved her hand, interrupted the old man's nonsense, lowered her voice, and said straight to the point: "We want to hear, there are many people jumping off buildings here every year, is this the case? Square, what’s weird?”

"What, you're asking about someone jumping off a building here?" Mai Shenxiang narrowed his eyes, then shook his head and said: "The secret must not be leaked, otherwise there will be divine punishment. I know all these things well, but I can't tell you."

Ding Ermiao was furious and glared: "Give me the money!"

"Er Miao..." Gu Qinglan glanced over, took out two more big bills, shook them in his hand, and said to Mai Shenxiang:
"Old man, we are just asking about the past situation here. This should not be a secret. If you are willing to tell, the 200 yuan is also yours. If you are not willing, we will find someone else to ask."

How much money can an old man who reads fortune tellers earn in a day?So Gu Qinglan threw out the bait and was confident.

Sure enough, Mai Yi reached out to grab the money in Gu Qinglan's hand again, and said: "Well, I am already old. Even if I am punished by God, my life will only be shortened by a few years..."

You can buy a secret for 200 yuan, and you can make Goddess Mai willingly shorten his life by a few years.Money, money, is really magical and powerful.Ding Ermiao couldn't laugh or cry in her heart.

Gu Qinglan smiled, withdrew the banknotes in her hand, and said, "I can't give you these two hundred now. I can only give them to you after you finish your talk."

Gu Qinglan is not a fool because she is used to traveling around the world. Cash on delivery is also the principle of doing business.

Mayi looked helpless, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said: "Okay, if you want to ask anything, just ask."

But before Gu Qinglan could speak, Mai turned her head and looked around again, and whispered: "It's not convenient to talk about these things here. My old man just didn't eat, so the girl might as well do a good thing and buy me a drink. , find a quiet place, sit down and talk slowly."

Ding Ermiao nodded, that's fine.It's really inconvenient to talk while sitting in this square with people coming and going, and the autumn sun is shining in the head, which makes the people who are shining uncomfortable.

Seeing that Ding Ermiao and Gu Qinglan agreed to her request, Ma Yi looked overjoyed. She put a roll of the signboard on the ground into her pocket, carried the maza, and took Ding Ermiao and Ding Ermiao through the gate of the South Tower and headed south. And go.

After leaving the market, not far along the road, you will find Water Street.

Water Street connects to Lingqu Canal, which is more than two miles long in total. It was the former commercial center of Xin'an Ancient City.The buildings on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are simple and simple, with hooked eaves and corners, all of which still retain their past style.

Although the current Water Street has lost its commercial function, it is still a tourist attraction.There are many restaurants on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, one next to the other, with wine flags waving and the aroma of wine overflowing.

The old man who read the fortune-telling took Gu Qinglan and the two of them across a bridge to the Liangyuan Restaurant on the west bank. They made their own decision and asked for a private room.

Two meat and two vegetables, a plate of peanuts, and a bottle of ordinary white wine.Although Ding Ermiao had eaten a large bowl of rice noodles at noon, the aroma of wine whetted her appetite. She opened the white wine and drank with Mayi Shen.

Gu Qinglan ordered a cup of hot tea, sat aside and looked at the flowers without saying a word.

After two ounces of wine, Mai Shenxiang started talking.This old man's surname is Du, a local native, and people who are familiar with him call him Lao Du.

"There is something underground in this square. There is something very scary." Old Du took a sip of wine and said slowly: "In recent years, so many people have jumped off the building because of something underground."

"What on earth is it?" Ding Ermiao asked calmly.

Lao Du coughed twice and said in a low voice: "Boss in the square, please don't talk nonsense. I'm destined to tell you these things, but when you go out, don't talk nonsense."

Ding Ermiao pointed to the roof: "Don't worry, I will never talk nonsense. I swear to the ceiling."

"Actually, I am the only one who knows that there is a dragon pressing down underground here. Moreover, it is an evil dragon..." Lao Du chewed pig ears in his mouth and said mysteriously: "The souls of those who jumped off the building are all Got eaten by that dragon.”

"Why does the underground dragon want to eat people?" Ding Ermiao asked casually.

"Of course the evil dragon wants to eat people!" Lao Du stared and said, "If there is no one to eat, then the evil dragon will burst out of the ground, causing the sky and the earth in the Lingqu Canal area to collapse and mountains of corpses to form!"

Ding Ermiao shook his head and smiled, thought for a while, and asked tentatively: "This is a story you heard, to scare me, right? Where are the dragons now? All the dinosaurs are dead."

"No, I, Lao Du, never lie to others." Lao Du waved the chopsticks in his hand and whispered:

"Think about it, with so many people jumping to their deaths from buildings, why doesn't the Market Management Office install guardrails upstairs? Installing closed guardrails is not worth a lot of money, and it can completely prevent deaths from jumping from buildings. However, the Market Management Office not only If we don’t install guardrails, we don’t let merchants install guardrails themselves. Do you think it’s weird?”

Gu Qinglan and Ding Ermiao looked at each other and nodded together.

They naturally discovered this problem, and it was also their puzzlement.
