Fengshui Town, it was another sunny day in the morning, the sun was shining, and there were no clouds in the sky. Lin Tianqi was sitting in his master's shop as if he were sitting on a table.
Not long after, another young woman with a gorgeous dress and a beautiful face walked towards her. She was very handsome and trembled as she walked.
The reason why I say it again is because this is already the ninth time this morning, and many of them are repeat customers. The same one in front of me has been here the day before yesterday and yesterday, and today is the third time.
"Little Master Lin." The woman came towards him and sat down on the stool opposite Lin Tianqi's table. She looked at Lin Tianqi's sweet voice and shouted, "Eh~"
"Girl, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Lin Tianqi said with a professional smile, which he had developed over the past few days.
"I have some discomfort in my chest. It's right here. Can you help me, Master Lin? I feel uncomfortable since I came here this morning. I don't know what's going on."
Upon hearing this, the woman immediately put her right hand on the bulging wave on her left chest and said, pretending to be uncomfortable. Her face was charming and weak, her voice was even sweeter, and she looked at Lin Tianqi with narrow eyes.
Lin Tianqi couldn't help but take another look, thinking it was a little droopy, but the professional smile on his face remained unchanged, and then he turned his head and shouted to the back.
"Master, there is a patient." After calling, he turned to the woman and said, "Miss, please wait a moment, I will call my master."
After saying that, he got up and walked to the back room of the shop, ignoring the woman's resentful eyes.
Not long after, Uncle Jiu came out, prescribed a health-nourishing and blood-tonifying medicine to the woman as usual, and gave her a dose.
Before leaving, the woman's eyes kept looking at Lin Tianqi, with a hint of resentment, as if she was complaining about someone's incomprehensible style, and reluctantly returned, just like yesterday.
Watching the woman leave, Lin Tianqi was speechless. He felt that he really felt like sitting on a stage in the past two days, and it was a diamond stage that was even more advanced than the gold medal stage. The girls a hundred meters next door were almost the same.
Every one of them has been attracted by him once, and many of them have become repeat customers. Each time they come in a state of beauty and then leave full of resentment.
This scene made Lin Tianqi think of a place in Guangdong that people lingered in in his previous life. The resentful eyes were so similar in the alleys at night in a place in Guangdong that made people linger. The only difference was that the sound of "beautiful boy" was missing.
"Master, I'm going to see Xiaojie and Xiaorong."
After seeing off the customers, Lin Tianqi turned to his master and walked towards the rouge and gouache shop across the street.
"Brother Tian." "Senior brother."
In the store, Xu Jie and Tian Rong were sitting at the counter, chatting. When they saw Lin Tianqi coming in, they immediately turned around and shouted with a smile.
Lin Tianqi immediately smiled at the two of them and said, "What are you talking about?"
"My sister-in-law and I are talking about whether it is better to have a boy or a girl?"
Xu Jie smiled and Tian Rong also smiled slightly when he heard this. At the same time, he reached out and touched his swollen belly to take a look.
"Brother Tian, do you think if we have children in the future, will you prefer a boy or a girl?"
Xu Jie looked at Lin Tianqi again and asked, Tian Rong also looked at Lin Tianqi.
"I think boys and girls are the same. As long as they are obedient, well-behaved, sensible and not arrogant, it doesn't matter whether they are male or female."
Lin Tianqi smiled. After hearing Lin Tianqi's words, Xu Jie and Tian Rong groaned slightly, as if they were thinking carefully about Lin Tianqi's words.
"Creak -" Just at this moment, the store door behind him was pushed open again: "Senior brother, you are here too."
Immediately afterwards, a familiar voice sounded, it was Xu Dongsheng.
"elder brother"
Xu Jie and Tian Rong also looked at Xu Dongsheng when they heard the voice, and Xu Jie shouted.
"It'll be easier if senior brother is there too." Xu Dongsheng grinned when he saw the three of them there and said, "Mom asked you what you want to eat for lunch, whether it's rice or noodles. If you want to eat, I'll go home and cook it now.
, if you want to eat noodles, just go to Uncle Zhou and Aunt Li’s store to buy them.”
The Uncle Zhou and Aunt Li mentioned by Xu Dongsheng were Zhou Cheng and Li Cuilan, the owner of the noodle shop where they ate noodles when they came out of Fengshui Town.
"I can do it." Tian Rong said.
"Then let's just eat noodles. It's too much trouble to go home." Xu Jie thought for a while and said.
"I think so too." Xu Dongsheng smiled and looked at Lin Tianqi: "Brother, what do you think?"
"The minority obeys the majority, and I have no objection. It just so happens that I haven't eaten noodles from Uncle Zhou and Aunt Li's house for a long time. Come on, you and I will buy some."
Lin Tianqi also smiled and said, stood up and patted Xu Dongsheng on the shoulder, and the two brothers immediately walked out of the store, arm in arm.
"Give way, give way, everyone, please give way! Thank you! Everyone, please give way!"
But just when the brothers walked out of the store, they saw a group of people hurriedly walking from one end of the street. The man at the front who was running profusely was responsible for clearing the way, and the middle of the group behind was
It was carrying a stretcher, and it seemed that a person was being carried on it. It was covered with a white cloth, but a large area of the white cloth covering it was stained red from beginning to end.
"What's going on? Wasn't that Li Laosan and the others just now? What happened?"
"It looks like it's a human being. There's so much blood and it's still covered. He must be dead."
"..."
When the pedestrians around him saw this, they all moved out of the way and started talking in low voices.
"Brother Tian, big brother, what's wrong?"
In the shop, after noticing the commotion outside, Xu Jie and Tian Rong also opened the door and walked out of the shop. Xu Jie looked at Lin Tianqi and Xu Dongsheng who were still at the door and asked.
"Someone died for some unknown reason. You and Xiaorong can continue to look at the store. Dongsheng and I will go buy some noodles and just check out the situation."
Lin Tianqi said, Xu Jie nodded immediately after hearing this.
The street became a little lively, everyone was discussing what had just happened. Soon, the news spread that the deceased, Old Man Li, fell from a cliff more than 20 meters high while cutting firewood on the mountain.
, half of his head was almost missing, and he died on the spot.
After learning the identity and cause of death of the deceased, Lin Tianqi ignored it and ran to the noodle shop with Xu Dongsheng, packed up the noodles and returned to the shop.
But speaking of this old man Li, he is a legend in Fengshui Town.
Old Man Li's original name was Li Hong, but because he had some mental problems, he was a bit naive, and his usual slovenly appearance meant that no girl from the surrounding villages was willing to marry him. In addition, he had neither ability nor money.
So now in his fifties, he is still a bachelor, so he is called Old Man Li, which means a bachelor.
There is a reason why Old Man Li is a legendary figure. It is said that three years ago, Old Man Li secretly entered a pig pen where sows were kept in the middle of the night and made the sows in the pig pen look like slaughtered pigs.
The screams alarmed the owner and caught him. At first, the owner thought that Old Man Li was here to steal the piglet, but when he caught Old Man Li, he was clean and naked...
Since then, Old Man Li has become completely famous throughout Fengshui Town.
I packed the noodles and returned to the shop. After eating the noodles, it was past one o'clock in the afternoon, and the sound of funeral gongs and drums also sounded in the direction of the house where Old Man Li lived on the street.
Although Old Man Li is single in Fengshui Town, he is not unrelated. On the contrary, his relatives are not ordinary. He is Li Yu, the mayor of Fengshui Town. According to blood relationship, Old Man Li is also Li Yu's cousin.
And Li Yu does have a good heart. Although Old Man Li has a problem with his brain, and some of the things he did even made Li Yu embarrassed. Some people would have drawn a clear line with Old Man Li long ago, but Li Yu did not.
Although he never gave Old Man Li any good looks for doing so, he still asked his servants to send Old Man Li a certain amount of food and money every month, enough for him to live on every month, so as to ensure that he would not starve or freeze.
This is also the reason why Old Man Li did not starve to death despite having brain problems for so many years.
And now the gongs and drums sounding at the funeral of Old Man Li's house are exactly those of Li Yu Zhangluo who got the news.
"Master Lin."
Not long after, Li Yu led someone to come to Uncle Jiu. When he saw Uncle Jiu, he immediately bowed his hand politely.
"Mayor."
Seeing Li Yu, Uncle Jiu immediately showed a polite smile on his face and held his hand towards Li Yu.
"I wonder if Master Lin is free now. I would like to ask Master Lin to come over and help look at Old Man Li's body and preside over the ritual..."
Li Yu said again, explaining his intention directly. Uncle Jiu nodded when he heard this.
"Okay, then I'll go over with the mayor and take a look first."
