Chapter 286 Save Your Life
Chapter 286 Save Your Life
Blind Huang was so angry that he pointed his finger in the direction of the voice and said, "If you don't leave, you will regret it."
After saying that, he snatched the steamed bun wrapped in clean straw from the village chief's son's hand, then turned and left.
The village chief's son looked at his departing figure and his skillful movements in grabbing things, and asked doubtfully, "Dad, is he blind? Are we being cheated?"
The village chief looked at the man's back without saying anything. He didn't know whether the man was blind or not. His eyes looked like he was blind, but he walked like a normal person.
As soon as Blind Huang walked out of the door, he put the steamed bread into the cloth bag hanging on his body, and then walked forward. When he saw someone, he said to them, "Give me some food, and I will save your life."
When most people heard him say this, they wondered if he was mentally ill. It would be fine if it happened to just one person, but was it possible that so many people would die?
A villager handed him a half-eaten bowl of highland barley porridge and said teasingly, "Blind man, I have a bowl of porridge here for you. Drink it. Tell me how you are going to save my life."
Upon hearing this, Blind Huang reached out to take the bowl and drank it without any hesitation. He smacked his lips after finishing it and seemed to think it tasted very good.
When the people around him saw him like this, they couldn't help but laugh out loud. Could it be that this guy has been hungry for a long time and is deliberately trying to cheat people?
Huang Xiazi ignored the laughter of the crowd, handed the bowl back and said, "After midnight tonight, a dragon will turn over here. You should run away quickly."
Hearing what he said, everyone felt disappointed.
Someone said, "We all know about earth dragons turning over. They happen from time to time in the surrounding mountains, but it has little to do with us. We have lived here for so long, and it has never affected us. Your deceptive technique is too perfunctory."
"That's right. Didn't the mountain next door shake a while ago, and rocks fell from the top. We weren't affected here either. What kind of excuse are you making? It's a good thing we didn't believe you."
Huang Xiazi was not angry at the people's rebuttal. He just said, "This time is different from the past. The destructive power is very strong. This place is likely to become a ruin. I advise you to leave as soon as possible, otherwise it will be dangerous."
After saying this, he took the gold in his hand and left. As for whether the people believed it or not, it was up to them.
As they watched the people leave, the villagers began to talk about it.
"Is what he said true? Is it really that serious?"
"You must be kidding! How could a dragon flip over out of nowhere?"
"Just now I saw that person coming out of the village chief's house. Should we go ask the village chief?"
"Let's go and ask." Everyone responded quickly.
As Huang Xiazi walked outside, he suddenly smelled a strong aroma of fish, which made him swallow his saliva. The smell was so fragrant. He hadn't eaten meat for several months and didn't even know what meat tasted like.
Then he followed the smell and walked directly in that direction.
Aunt Zhou was cooking, and General Xu brought people to guard the area.
The fish has been put into the pot and the aroma is wafting out. He thought to himself that he can eat pancakes soaked in fish soup again tonight. Pancakes soaked in fish soup are really delicious.
Just as he couldn't help swallowing his saliva because of his imagination, he saw a sloppy, thin, bearded old man, stretching his head, sniffing here and there, walking towards them.
Moreover, this man looked like a blind man. He walked straight towards Aunt Zhou and the others, completely unaware that there were guards watching over them.
Seeing this, Army Officer Xu quickly stepped forward to stop them and scolded them, "What are you doing? This is our territory, outsiders are not allowed to come here."
When Huang Xiazi was stopped, he was still trying to stretch his head and sniff the aroma of fish. The smell was so fragrant that it aroused the gluttony in his stomach.
After hearing what General Xu said, he said, "Give me a bowl of fish soup, and I will save your life."
Xu Canjun had been wandering the underworld for many years and was unmoved by his underworld tricks. He just said coldly, "If you don't leave here, don't blame me for being rude."
As he said this, he drew his knife and prepared to scare the man away.
Hearing the sound of the knife being unsheathed, Huang Xiazi took a step back. He raised his hand to stroke his beard and then said:
"I charge for fortune-telling, but today, for this fish soup, I'll make an exception and tell your fortune. If it's right, how about giving me a bowl of fish soup and a piece of fish?"
Xu Canjun remained unmoved and said directly: "Old sir, please don't force me to fight you. You'd better leave quickly."
There were only a dozen or so fish in total, and they didn't even have enough to share among themselves, so how could there be any left for outsiders?
Blind Huang pinched his fingers and said, "You haven't married yet. When you were five years old, you had a serious illness and were rescued by someone. Then you followed your savior and served your current master.
When you were 15, you had a bloody disaster, but luckily you were lucky enough to survive. When you were 18, you had a crush on a girl, but you two were not destined to be together, and the girl eventually got married. When you were 20, the girl...”
"That's enough." General Xu interrupted him in embarrassment.
He was caught off guard by the fact that this person had spoken out such a private matter of his secret love in front of everyone so casually.
After hearing what Huang Xiazi said, a guard nearby said in surprise: "Brother Xu, did you really have a crush on a girl?"
Upon hearing this, General Xu said directly: "Shut up."
The guard shut his mouth obediently after hearing this. Brother Xu was furious and embarrassed. If he continued to provoke him, he would easily get beaten.
After listening to the conversation between the two, Blind Huang showed a smug smile on his face. It seemed that he had a chance to drink fish soup today.
Xu Canjun calmed himself down, then looked at Huang Xiazi and asked, "What do you mean by saving my life?"
If other things were traceable, almost no one knew about his secret love, not even his master, so this blind man might really have some skills. He wanted to hear what kind of life-threatening situation he had.
Blind Huang said, "You have to give me a bowl of fish soup."
Xu Canjun said: "Okay."
At worst, I can just give him my share.
After getting the answer he wanted, Blind Huang repeated what he had said to others before.
After hearing this, General Xu asked in surprise, "Are you serious?"
"Of course it's true, but you can choose not to believe it." said Blind Huang.
After hearing this, General Xu looked at him carefully for a while and asked, "Then why are you still staying here?"
Shouldn't he have run away long ago?
Huang Xiazi said frankly: "I'll finish drinking your fish soup and then I'll leave."
