189 Festivals, Plum Blossom Festival(2/2)
After the mayor said a few more words to Liu Shoucai, he sent Liu Shoucai and the others away. As soon as he walked out of the mayor's house, Liu Shoucai and Gui Gusong quickly returned to a lively place.
"Brother Liu, why didn't you tell the mayor the truth just now?"
"What's the truth? I've told him about the demonic story! Is there anything else I need to tell him?"
Liu Shoucai looked at Gui Gusong with some confusion. Seeing that Liu Shoucai did not react, Gui Gusong burst out laughing with a squirting sound.
"Hahaha... I just said you should tell the mayor that you can eat very well. If you really eat here for a year, I'm afraid you can really eat this place poor."
Seeing that Gui Gu Song was joking with him, Liu Shoucai felt relieved, "Damn, you kid actually made fun of me. Why did I forget to say something important? I was shocked. But no matter how much I can eat, I can't eat poorly here. Don't you see that people here wear gold and silver? They all have money."
"But don't you find it strange? Why are they so rich? Is it just relying on the plum cakes they sell? This shouldn't make too much money! At most, you can only maintain your life."
After being told by Guigu Song, Liu Shoucai instantly felt something strange. It seemed that he really didn't understand this place enough. "Forget it, no matter how we think about it, it's impossible to figure it out. Let's ask Xiaobai and Lao Er to investigate first. After knowing the detailed results, we will discuss it!"
"That's right, then will we go back and investigate with them now?"
"Well, let's go! There's nothing to do now."
Guigusong nodded, and then followed Liu Shoucai back to the inn. As soon as he came back, Liu Shoucai was stunned because he saw Xiaobai buying another large table of plum blossom cakes and chewing them.
"Xiaobai, are you crazy? Eat so much, aren't you afraid of being overwhelmed? I still have to leave important things to you. Why are you eating without stopping? Also, I have obtained the qualification to eat here for free for a year without any money. I will bring you whatever you want in the future, so don't spend that money in vain."
Xiaobai rolled his eyes by Liu Shoucai's turtle aura. Although he didn't know why Liu Shoucai said that, he also knew that Liu Shoucai had a chance when he went out just now.
"What luck did you have? What did you do? You actually got the qualification to eat for free for a year? Are you bragging?"
"What are you bragging about? If you don't believe me, ask Guigusong. I just got the Master of Plum Blossom, so I got such a qualification. And if you want to buy food in the future, you just need to pay half the price."
"It's great. The plum blossom cake here is really delicious. Liu Shoucai, please help me get some back later. I'll eat it as a midnight snack."
"If you eat, you will know how to eat. Be careful to eat. I have important things to tell you and my second brother to do. I will finish the work first."
Liu Shoucai gave Xiaobai a thrill, and then pulled Xiaobai, who had been resisting, to the second child's room. The second child was practicing martial arts at this time, but after seeing Liu Shoucai and the others coming, the second child stood up directly.
"Master, are you doing something?"
When Liu Shoucai usually has nothing to do, he will not go to the second child's room, so when he sees Liu Shoucai and the others come over, the second child knows that there must be something to deal with.
"I plan to ask you and Xiaobai to investigate the matter about this village, why are the people in this village so rich, and what unknown secrets do this town have? I hope you two can find out as soon as possible. This is very important to us."
"Yes, Master, I'll go right away."
After receiving the order, the second brother went out to work quickly. After Xiaobai finished eating the plum blossom cake in his hand, he slowly flapped his wings and left the inn. After watching Xiaobai and the second brother leave, Liu Shoucai and Gui Gusong also went back to the room to rest.
When it was almost time for dinner, Xiaobai and Lao Er ran back with their tired bodies. After returning, Liu Shoucai hurriedly closed the door and pulled Xiaobai and Lao Er to the table.
"How is it? What news have you all heard?"
"It's really exciting! You can't guess that ten years ago, everyone's life was very hard. Who knew that they discovered a gold mine later, and their lives changed. After ten years of excavation, the people in this village became what they are today. However, because the gold mine was mined randomly, it was mined by them two years ago. The plum trees planted outside were actually planted to hide the secrets in this village."
"So that's the case. Now I can understand why they are so rich. I really think it's the mayor who leads it well. It turns out that it's the benefits brought by the gold mine."
Liu Shoucai's respect for the mayor in his heart disappeared instantly. Because the mayor is not a successful person, Liu Shoucai no longer has respect. However, Liu Shoucai still intends to be polite to the mayor, after all, no one will involve anyone's interests.
"Not only this news, there are other news. Do you know who the mayor's wife is?"
"How can we know about this? Hurry up and don't always let us guess. We haven't calculated it, so how can we know it?"
Seeing that Xiaobai started to get angry again, Liu Shoucai really wanted to beat it up. Of course, Liu Shoucai was not such a violent person, so he just thought about it in his heart and did not take action directly.
Seeing Liu Shoucai's threatening gaze, Xiaobai did not continue to sway everyone's appetite and explained directly: "The mayor's wife is his younger brother's daughter. After the mayor's younger brother died, he married his younger brother's daughter into the house, saying that it was to better take care of his niece. Alas! It's a beast!"
"Damn, I think he is worse than a beast! He actually married his niece, how could he do this?"
Liu Shoucai suddenly felt a little unacceptable. He did not expect that the person he respected just now had already begun to despise and dislike him. It seems that this person really cannot only look at his surface, but also investigate it from his actual self, so that he can better see through a person's essence.
"In this era, personal relationships were very chaotic. Even in our era, weren't some people still very chaotic? And there was nothing too surprised, why did you make you look like a country bumpkin?"
Xiaobai was dissatisfied with Liu Shoucai's exaggerated performance, so he glared at him directly. Liu Shoucai smiled awkwardly. In fact, he was really shocked just now. After all, this is an illegal thing in modern times.
"Okay, then, are there anything else to discover besides these?"
"I finally know why the plum blossom cake here is so tempting, and people want to eat it again after eating it."
Xiaobai said that he wanted to cry, and Liu Shoucai immediately felt strange. Could it be that the method of making the plum blossom cake was disgusting? Or was it that the things mixed immediately were disgusting. When he thought of this, Liu Shoucai suddenly felt like he wanted to vomit.
"If it's disgusting, don't say it, I'm afraid I can't bear it."
"It has nothing to do with nausea. They put a drug in the plum blossom cake that can make people addictive. If you eat too much, you will be addictive. And if you don't eat it for a day, it will be very uncomfortable, just like taking drugs and quitting drugs."
"Damn it, how could they do this?"
Liu Shoucai screamed in dissatisfaction, and Gui Gu Song smiled and said, "Under the gorgeous appearance, there is ugly darkness! It seems that this phenomenon exists everywhere, so you can also take it a little more! Don't eat those things in the future. Although they look delicious, they are a little too poisonous."
"Oh! I really regret eating so much just now. Liu Shoucai, do you think I'm addicted? Will it be very painful when I quit addiction, just like those drug addicts in drug rehabilitation centers. The torture is very painful, and I really feel very worried."
"You are worried about yarn! You are a divine beast, so how can you feel about this poison? Don't worry! Even if you drink arsenic and frost, you won't feel it."
Seeing Xiaobai's exaggerated appearance, Liu Shoucai immediately started to attack it. After being hit by Liu Shoucai, Xiaobai stopped pretending and rolled his eyes and stopped talking.
"Dragon, have you investigated something else?"
Seeing that Xiaobai had stopped talking, Guigu Song asked about the results of the second brother's investigation.
"Yes, I found some other things. This place is very strange. It snows around the Plum Blossom Festival every year. And it's still in this weather, it snows in the summer. Don't you find it strange?"
"This is really strange. Hail is common in the summer, but I have never heard of it snowing. This is not a place of coldness."
"Second, have you investigated why this is?"
"Because when the people here were digging gold mines, they dug a female corpse from the mine cave. Later, they burned the female corpse, and the resentment of the female corpse was congested and did not dissipate. Therefore, they cursed that it snowed here every year on the Plum Blossom Festival, and when it snowed, one person would die."
"It seems that under the beautiful appearance of this town, so many ugly facts are hidden, and I suddenly feel like I am deceived."
"So too, I feel like I've been cheated, what should I do? Or we don't care?"
"How can that be? Although the people here have deceived us, there are also good people among them. We cannot give up those good people because of some bad people. I can't do it. You understand me."
Liu Shoucai looked at Guigusong, and Guigusong sighed. He knew that Liu Shoucai would say this. Xiaobai and Badou saw that the atmosphere was a little stiff, so they began to activate the atmosphere for a while, but Liu Shoucai never had much thought.
"Okay, you all go back to your room to rest! I'm going to think about what to do next."
As soon as Guigusong and the others returned to the room, Liu Shoucai lay on the bed and started thinking. Seeing that Liu Shoucai was thinking so seriously, Xiaobai was embarrassed to disturb him, so he got up to sleep.
The next day, Liu Shoucai appeared in front of everyone with dark circles in front of them. Seeing Liu Shoucai's thick dark circles, everyone covered their mouths and laughed a lot. Liu Shoucai also saw them laughing at him, but Liu Shoucai didn't care about anything because he didn't think it was embarrassing to have dark circles.
"I thought about it all night, but there is no good way, so let's do it! Let's follow our previous experience. Don't think about so many annoying things in the past two days, just have fun! Although the plum blossom cake here is unpleasant, the other snacks are pretty good. Moreover, the Plum Blossom Festival is also very fun these two days. You can enjoy yourself and let those bad memories get off for the time being."
"That's right. We really have to have fun in the past two days, and it's only once in our lifetime, so don't miss it easily, because if you miss it, you won't meet it again in your lifetime."
If Guigusong and the others really left Meihua Town, they would never be able to come here again, so this is their last time.
"Well, we will have fun and freeze the beautiful things here. For those not beautiful, we can completely ignore them because we only need to be beautiful."
After Liu Shoucai and the others talked a few words at the entrance, they started shopping. Because they had different opinions, they went shopping on their own. Liu Shoucai and Gui Gusong went to the ceramic shop together. Of course, they did not want to buy porcelain, but wanted to customize some souvenirs there.
During the Plum Blossom Festival, many tourists from all over the country have flocked to Meihua Town, and the inns in the town are also full of stays. Fortunately, Liu Shoucai and the others came yesterday, otherwise they would have no place to live if they came today. This is also the luckiest thing for Liu Shoucai and the others.
"Brother Guigu, do you see that person just now look familiar?"
As soon as he walked out of the ceramic shop, Liu Shoucai saw a figure walking in a hurry flashing across the crowd. The person made Liu Shoucai feel very familiar, but he just couldn't remember who it was, so he grabbed Gui Gusong and asked.
"Who is it? I didn't see it, so how could I know who it is."
Gui Gusong did not see the person Liu Shoucai mentioned, so he looked at Liu Shoucai with confusion. Seeing that Gui Gusong did not see the person just now, Liu Shoucai sighed in disappointment.
"Forget it, since I didn't see it, I actually feel that person looks familiar, so I asked you to recognize him. You don't have to care too much."
"Okay, judging by how lost you look, that person must have a deep influence on you. Show me your memory! I'll help you identify it."
Seeing Liu Shoucai's unhappy look, Gui Gusong asked Liu Shoucai to show his memories. Liu Shoucai didn't want to show it to him, but he couldn't resist Gui Gusong's request, so he showed it to him.
"Do you think that person looks like a man in black? He is the man in black who is very scary and powerful?"
"Huh? As you said this, I really feel like him, but why do I feel that he is a little familiar? It always seems that I have known him for a long time, but it is very strange. Do you feel this way?"
"Yes, I'm the same as you. I always feel that he is very familiar, but he is very strange. It's really strange. We only met him once or twice. Why did we feel this way?"
Guigusong suddenly felt this strange and familiar feeling. Just like Liu Shoucai, he had an inexplicable feeling for the man in black, especially Liu Shoucai. He seemed to be a little scared of the man in black.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. When he reveals his true face in the future, we will know who he is."
After thinking for a long time but not understanding it, Liu Shoucai gave up, Gui Gusong did not continue to think about it. The two of them began to wander the streets again, and when they walked to the corner of the alley, they suddenly saw blood on the ground in front of them. Liu Shoucai and Gui Gusong hurried over.
"stop."
As soon as Liu Shoucai and Gui Gusong entered the alley, they saw the man in black pinching the mayor's neck. The town was covered in blood at this time, and it was obvious that he was seriously injured.
"You shouldn't be indifferent to this kind of idiot. If you know the truth, get out quickly. Don't forget that in front of me, you are just like ordinary people. You can't even beat the demonic path. Why should you fight against me?"
The man in black had a very arrogant attitude. Seeing this, Liu Shoucai and Gui Gusong became a little nervous. The man in black was right. They couldn't even deal with the demonic path, so they had no ability to fight against the man in black. Standing in front of the man in black, Liu Shoucai and Gui Gusong's hands were trembling all the time.
It was a feeling of fear from the heart. This was not the first time Liu Shoucai had this feeling, especially after looking at the eyes of the man in black, Liu Shoucai's inner fear became even more and more powerful.
"Who are you? Why do I always feel that you are so familiar with you, but you are very strange. Did we know each other before?"
"Hahaha... When you are strong, you will know who I am. Now you are not qualified to know who I am. And it will not be beneficial to you if you know too early."
After saying that, the man in black left the mayor and left. He originally wanted Liu Shoucai and Gui Gusong to leave, but suddenly he saw a black cloud floating in the sky, and he immediately turned his head and left, without the feeling of continuing to torture the mayor.
As soon as the man in black left, Liu Shoucai and Gui Gusong hurriedly helped the mayor and returned home. Along the way, Liu Shoucai wanted to ask the mayor why the man in black wanted to kill him, but after seeing Gui Gusong's eyes, Liu Shoucai held back.
After sending the mayor to his home, Liu Shoucai couldn't help asking: "Master, why did the man in black kill you? Have you offended him?"
