Ling Xing didn't know how to respond to Jiang Qingyu's words.

"I can't make the decision on this. Please wait while I ask the prince."

Jiang Qingyu didn't even look at Lingxing. She just kept staring out the window and waved her hand to signal him that he could leave.

"Well, go ahead. It's better to let him wash more."

"I'll take my leave, little one."

Now Lingxing is very respectful to Jiang Qingyu, because he is really afraid of this ancestor's mouth.

I haven't offended her yet, but she's driving me crazy.

If I offend her again, I'm afraid she will kill me.

In Lingxing's heart, Jiang Qingyu has been ranked alongside his prince as first. No, maybe even higher.

Although his prince looks scary, he is reasonable.

After Lingxing left, Jiang Qingyu called the waiter.

I ordered a pot of good tea, plus melon seeds, peanuts and some snacks.

The waiter moved quickly and brought the food Jiang Qingyu ordered in less than two minutes.

She just picked up the kettle and poured herself a cup of tea. While she was drinking the tea, she heard people next to her discussing today's rain.

"Oh, this unlucky weather, my clothes are all wet.

The rain today fell too suddenly.

It soaked me right away. I haven’t seen such heavy rain in years.”

Jiang Qingyu looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man standing at the door. He was squeezing the water off his body while talking to another man next to him who was older than him.

"Yeah yeah.

You see, I haven't sold any of my goods today, and now they are all soaked.

Oh, if it’s not sunny tomorrow, all these will be thrown away.”

After the man finished speaking, the middle-aged man replied to him.

"I hope it will be sunny tomorrow. I hate rain the most."

At this time, another older man spoke.

"Young man, don't be delusional.

Judging from the current situation, it probably won’t be sunny tomorrow.

Not only tomorrow, I'm afraid it won't be sunny the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"Hey, how can you talk like that, old man?

Why am I so wishful thinking?

I think you are getting old and confused. What do you mean by tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow? The sky won’t be sunny either.

I am about to lose all this stuff, and I have a group of people at home waiting to earn money to eat from it.

I'm telling you, don't be such a pessimist."

"I'm just telling the truth, why are you so excited, young man?

When I was born, you didn’t even know where to play in the mud.

I tell you, this heavy rain will not stop for ten days and ten nights.

By then, the flood will spread, houses will be submerged, and people in the city will either die or flee.

This place will soon be an empty city."

When the old man first started talking, everyone saw that he was old and had a lot of experience, so they all believed him a little.

Until they heard what he said next, everyone called him a psycho.

Because what he said were things that happened in Jiangnan forty or fifty years ago.

A guest sitting in a seat inside turned around and faced the old man and talked to him.

"Well, I thought he was an expert at fortune-telling.

It turns out he is just a crazy old man telling stories.

Old man, this happened decades ago.

Don’t use it to scare people.”

"Haha, old man, you have heard too many stories.

When the rain stops, you should go home quickly and don't let anyone scare you again."

"Yeah, now that I'm old, I'm scared of the rain."

The guests in the restaurant were teasing the old man one after another.

The sound of “Hahahaha” laughter filled the hall for a moment.

Jiang Qingyu, who was sitting on the side, listened quietly throughout the whole process.

She looked at the old man's age and estimated that he was in his sixties.

If he was a genuine Jiangnan person, the old man might really have been left behind by the natural disaster.

Jiang Qingyu brought the untouched snacks on her table to the old man.

He pulled a chair over from the side and sat next to the old man.

"Old man, have you grown up in Jiangnan since childhood?"

Seeing Jiang Qingyu's snacks, the old man was actually a little hungry, so he took a piece without hesitation.

The guests nearby saw this and began to persuade her.

"Girl, don't listen to his nonsense.

He made all that up to trick people like you. If you give him a snack and let him taste the sweetness, he will only become more aggressive in the future.

You women are just soft-hearted. If you want to hear a story, come and sit next to your brother.

My brother is the best storyteller, I guarantee he can tell better stories than this old man."

After he finished speaking, everyone started laughing again.

It's blatant teasing!

Jiang Qingyu turned her head and glanced at the person who "kindly reminded" her.

The man took a look and found that it was an acquaintance.

"Ah? Madam Qing?

Why are you here?

I just happen to be feeling a little unwell, I wonder if you can check my pulse."

“You’re not sick!

Besides, I can't stand the fact that your brain is full of garbage.

If you are really sick, go to Leshan Medical Clinic and queue up.

I am taking a break today. Unless it is an emergency, I will not take any other cases for the time being. "

Jiang Qingyu could tell at a glance that the man was not sick.

And when she treats patients, she never needs to take their pulse.

One more look at that man's lustful eyes and his disgusting voice and you'll know he has no good intentions.

The man was frightened by Jiang Qingyu's eyes and was scolded by Jiang Qingyu.

He immediately behaved himself and went back to eat his own food.

When the others heard it was Madam Qing, they stopped laughing.

They have been told since childhood that no matter who you offend, you must not offend a doctor, especially a capable one.

Coincidentally, the old man had finished eating a few snacks at this time.

"Yes, I was born and raised in Jiangnan."

"So how old are you this year?"

“Well, fifty-nine.

This old man’s arms and legs are no longer able to function.”

After saying this, he coughed a few times.

"So, you experienced the flood several decades ago?"

"Well, that's right.

I am a survivor of that natural disaster.

I still cannot forget that scene."

"Is it true that you just said that the rain will not stop and will continue for ten days and ten nights?"

The two of them chatted as if no one was around, asking and answering each other.

Seeing Jiang Qingyu asking him so seriously, the old man felt a little embarrassed.

“I don’t know either, I just feel that this rain is similar to the last time when it started.

That time, at the beginning, the rain was also so heavy.

So I just felt inspired.”

After the old man finished speaking, he felt a little embarrassed. He felt that he had really become a swindler just like they said.

Seeing that Jiang Qingyu didn't say anything, the old man thought she thought so too and hurried to explain.

"Little girl, I'm sorry, I really didn't make up the story to lie to you.

I ate your snack because I was really hungry.

How about this, you tell me how much money it is and I'll give it to you."

Jiang Qingyu didn't care about it and shook her head to refuse.

"It's okay, I gave it to you on my own initiative, just eat it.

I like listening to stories. I wonder if you can tell me what happened back then?"
