"Selling sugar-roasted chestnuts..."

"Selling sugar-roasted chestnuts..."

“Fragrant and sweet sugar-roasted chestnuts, if not delicious, free of charge...”

In the middle of the night, without a moon, the lights dispersed, the flowers faded, and the long street that had been bustling all day returned to silence. The breeze blew by, picking up a wisp of light dust, making it lonely and desolate.

Suddenly, an old, tired, low and hoarse, yet melodious hawking voice sounded in the dark night.

The voice is neither high nor loud, full of heaviness, just like the common people who have been busy for a day, exhausted, covered with stars and moon, eager to return home, drink a sip of hot water, eat a sip of hot rice, and listen to a heart-warming sentence.

Concerns and greetings.

"Selling sugar-roasted chestnuts..."

“Fragrant and sweet sugar-roasted chestnuts, if not delicious, free of charge...”

The sound got closer and closer, and a rickety old woman with wrinkles on her face pushed a small cart and walked slowly down the street, looking a little strenuous.

In the pot on the trolley, there are roasted sugar-roasted chestnuts, steaming and exuding a fragrant and sweet fragrance, which spreads for ten miles.

"Old man, your sugar-roasted chestnuts smell delicious." At this time, three people wearing fancy clothes and swords hanging on their waists came over. The one who spoke was a tall man with a scar on his face.

A fierce-looking man.

"Haha, they are all ancestral craftsmanship. They are fried and sold now. They are all hot, fragrant and sweet. Let the three uncles try them. If they are not delicious, there is no charge."

The old woman didn't pay attention to the ferocious man's name, her face was full of smiles, careful and humble.

"Let me try it!" The ferocious man picked up a sugar-roasted chestnut, peeled it open and threw it into his mouth. The mouthful was filled with fragrance: "Well, it is indeed fragrant, sweet and delicious. Second child and third child, you guys should try it too.

.”

"Well, it's really delicious. I haven't eaten such authentic sugar-roasted chestnuts for a long time."

The other two men stepped forward, grabbed the sugar-roasted chestnuts from the pot and threw them into their mouths, praising them as they ate them.

After a while, the pot full of sugar-roasted chestnuts was eaten up, and not a single one was left.

"Hiccup... delicious."

"Let's go, eldest brother, second brother, let's go to Xinghua Tower to find some girls and have some fun?"

"You still go, you kid stayed all night somewhere yesterday and you haven't had enough? Be careful and you die on a woman's belly."

"Hey, you should enjoy yourself while you are alive!"

"Lao San is right, the sage said: If you are full and warm, you can think about your (sexual) desires. Let's go to the Xinghua Tower to enjoy the apricot flowers..."

"I didn't expect that my eldest brother is also an elegant person. Xinghua Tower, appreciating apricot flowers, good poems, good poems! But I have to add a few more words, drink fine wine and kill people."

"Hahaha...well said, well said, brothers, let's go!"

The three of them were talking and laughing, then turned to leave.

"You three gentlemen, haven't you paid yet?" Seeing the three of them preparing to leave, the old woman hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.

"What money do you want to give me?" The boss stared at the old woman with an unkind expression and a fierce look in his eyes.

The old woman apologized and said with a smile: "The three uncles haven't given you the money to roast the chestnuts with sugar?"

"The old woman is also in a hurry to go back. All the three uncles can do is give her a small amount of money to get her money back!"

"Haha, old man, didn't you just say you didn't want money?" the second child said with a smile.

The old woman answered cautiously: "The old woman just said you don't need money if it doesn't taste good, but didn't you say you don't need money?"

"Oh, really?" The third child frowned and said carelessly: "Then it doesn't taste good, it tastes terrible, it tastes terrible."

Old woman: "..." It tastes terrible and you all ate it up.

"Three gentlemen..."

"Old man, don't be shameless. I eat your food to give you face. If you block your way again, I will tear you apart."

"Get out of here, old man!"

As he said this, Lao San kicked the old woman standing in front of him.

However, when he was halfway through kicking, he suddenly stopped, with a look of horror in his eyes.

The next moment, his body melted like a candle.

In the blink of an eye, Lao San's entire body melted into a pool of blood.

The strange thing is that the blood on the ground did not seep into the soil, but squirmed and separated into pieces, and then turned into pieces of sugar-roasted chestnuts, which were still steaming and fragrant.

"Ah...you...you are Grandma Bear, you are Grandma Bear...run..."

Seeing the miserable condition of the third child, the eldest brother and the second child seemed to have remembered something, and their faces suddenly became as pale as paper.

The eldest brother and the third child were both at the Refining Level, but they had no idea or desire to avenge the third child. Instead, like frightened rabbits, they used their Qinggong with all their strength and ran away in two directions.

How fast, how fast!

But before the two of them took two steps, their bodies trembled, and like the old third child before, they melted into a pool of flesh and blood. The flesh and blood surged and turned into hot, fragrant sugar-roasted chestnuts.

"If you eat my old lady's roasted chestnuts, if you don't pay, you will have to pay with your life!" Grandma Xiong looked at the roasted chestnuts all over the floor, hunched over, shook her head, and sighed: "Today's young people!

"

Immediately, Grandma Xiong returned to the stall, tapped the edge of the iron pot with her skinny fingers, and made a clanging sound: "Come to the pot, come to the pot."

With the sound of knocking, the sugar-roasted chestnuts seemed to have come to life, jumping into the pot. Within a few breaths, the originally empty iron pot was filled with sugar-roasted chestnuts, and there were more sugar-roasted chestnuts than before.

, steaming hot and fragrant.

"Not bad, I finally didn't lose money."

Grandma Xiong smiled, and the wrinkles on her face relaxed. She pushed the cart and continued to shout: "I sell sugar-roasted chestnuts. The fragrant and sweet sugar-roasted chestnuts don't cost any money."

Not long after they left, a group of Jing'an guards wearing black armor and swords came towards them. The leader was a burly man wearing monk's robes. Hao Ran was the ugly monk.

"Eh... it smells so good, roasted chestnuts with sugar!" As he was walking, the ugly monk saw Grandma Xiong pushing the cart and smelled the aroma of roasted chestnuts with sugar in the pot.

He had just finished dealing with a strange incident. He had not eaten any water or rice all day, and his chest was pressed to his back with hunger. At this moment, he smelled the aroma of sugar-roasted chestnuts, and his stomach couldn't help but growl.

"Let's go, buy some roasted chestnuts to cushion your stomach."

The ugly monk led a group of Jing'an guards to Grandma Xiong and said, "Old man, how do you sell these sugar-roasted chestnuts?"

Grandma Xiong smiled and said: "It's not expensive, just two Tongbao in a bag."

"It's really not expensive." The ugly monk picked up a sugar-roasted chestnut and threw it into his mouth, praising it: "Well, it's delicious, it's really delicious."

"Come on, brothers, I've been hungry all day. Let's eat some roasted chestnuts to fill our stomachs. Eat them open. I'll treat you."

"Haha, thank you Captain."

"Then we won't be polite."

The already hungry Jingan guards couldn't hold it any longer, so they all stepped forward and started eating.

"It's delicious. The old man's sugar-roasted chestnuts are so delicious. I haven't tasted such an authentic taste in a long time." Zhou Xi praised while eating.

"Haha, it's fine if you like it, adults." Grandma Xiong said with a smile on her face: "I'm not boasting about it. These sugar-roasted chestnuts are roasted and sold now, and everyone who has eaten them says they are good."

"By the way, do all the old people do business on this street? Why haven't I seen you before?" Zhou Xi asked.

Grandma Xiong said with a smile: "I used to do business in Changshan County, but I have only come to Luoshui County these two days."

"Changshan County?" Zhou Xi smiled and said, "That's not close. Did the old man come to Luoshui with his family?"

Grandma Xiong shook her head: "No, the old lady came here alone."

"one person?"

The ugly monk answered: "Well, old man, your body is really strong. Changshan is tens of thousands of kilometers away from Luoshui. Even if you take a ferry, it will take five or six days. Old man, did you come here by ferry?"

"

Grandma Xiong smiled and replied: "No, I don't have money to take the ferry. I walked here. It only took a day to get there. It was very fast."

"One day? Don't be ridiculous, old man. With your old arms and legs, how can you possibly walk from Changshan to Luoshui in just one day? Even I can't do it." The ugly monk laughed, not believing it at all.

Grandma Xiong also smiled in agreement: "Master, don't look down on the old woman. I'm in good health. Did I just kill three bastards who were eating candies and roasted chestnuts without paying?"

"Besides, my Grandma Xiong never jokes, and I don't like to joke either."

"Killing? Just you? Hahaha..." Hearing this, all the Jing'an guards couldn't help but laugh, but while smiling, the faces of Chou Monk, Zhou Xi and others gradually became weird, nervous and frightened.

stand up.

"Are you Grandma Bear?"

"Well, the old lady's name is Grandma Xiong." Grandma Xiong nodded.

"Grandma Xiong who sells sugar-fried chestnuts?" The ugly monk swallowed, his breath condensed and his expression guarded.

Grandma Xiong said: "It's me, old lady. I didn't expect that I'm quite famous. Even the adults in Jing'an Division know about it. I'm really honored."

Hearing this, the ugly monk's face changed drastically, his energy and blood surged, and a terrifying aura came out of his body. He was about to retreat, but the next moment, the aura on his body disappeared, and his whole person froze in place.

The same is true for Zhou Xi and others.
