Su Yan abruptly withdrew his gaze, his heart pounding.

If it weren't for the crowds of people around her, she would have lost control and turned around and ran.

Su Yan pursed her lips tightly, trying desperately to recall whether she had ever seen this person before.

In ancient times, if we were to consider anyone as an enemy, it would only be the ex-husband’s family.

But even though their eyes met and then separated, she was sure that the skinny man was not the original owner's ex-husband.

But after thinking about it, I really have no impression of this person at all.

Su Yan glanced over again, wanting to confirm it again.

Unexpectedly, the man was no longer staring at her, but was staring at the crowd passing by.

Su Yan didn't know how to express that look.

It's the kind of thing that can chill you to the heart when they meet.

If I had to describe it, it would be...

that is...

Want to eat people

!!!

Su Yan was shocked, wondering why she had such a terrible idea.

How is that possible? This is the main street of the county town!

Su Yan was terrified, and then she saw that the man's eyes had changed in an instant.

Become weak and pitiful.

I saw him move slowly to the left, find a corner and sit down.

Then he took out a broken bowl from the rag bag behind him and placed it in front of himself.

Then he begged weakly to the people passing by, "Dear kind uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters-in-law, I haven't eaten for three days. Please give me some money for food."

As he said this, he kowtowed repeatedly to the crowd.

In fact, there are often beggars on this street, and Su Yan's family usually gives them some whole-grain steamed buns from home.

Moreover, beggars usually mark out their territories, so there are only a few beggars wandering around on a street, and Su Yan is familiar with their faces.

But this one is definitely a new face.

And

Su Yan looked at a few familiar beggars not far away, who were gathered together pointing at this new face, looking very indignant.

But he was just angry and did not step forward.

This is not reasonable.

These beggars have been occupying this street for years, and it can be said that this street is their begging territory.

What that man is doing now is undoubtedly stealing their jobs.

How could these people not be driven away?

In serious fights, it is possible that one party may die.

But now those people just stood there and watched the man begging on the street.

Su Yan pondered over it in his mind and felt that there were only two reasons.

Either the man was too powerful and these beggars couldn't defeat him even if they joined forces, so they naturally wouldn't go up and get beaten now.

Or maybe the man is not alone, he is in a gang.

That's why these beggars were afraid and didn't dare to beat anyone.

If it was the former, it would be fine, he would just be a person with better skills.

No matter how skilled you are, you are still just one person.

But if it's the latter...

Su Yan paid for a rattle that Dudu liked, and walked along the street in the opposite direction of the man with a heavy heart.

Along the way, she kept glancing at both sides of the street, trying to find some other new faces.

But in the end, I never saw anyone who looked like that man again.

Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she was overthinking.

Gang?

how can that be possible?

His Majesty is in the prime of his life and is said to love his people like his own children.

Moreover, the world has been peaceful for a long time. Although there are indeed some dark sides that cannot be faced directly, for the most part, it is still very good.

How could such a large number of ragged beggars suddenly appear?

Su Yan comforted herself in this way, but she still felt unable to let go.

Su Yan didn't know if it was his sixth sense or something else, but he felt something was wrong.

Therefore, from that day on, every time Su Yan went to the old house to visit Grandmother He, he would carefully observe the situation along the way.

See if there are any new faces.

She also told He An and Su Erlang about this matter and asked them to pay attention to it in their daily lives.

However, in order to prevent themselves from thinking too much, they did not tell Grandpa He and Grandma He.

They are old and can't stand being startled.

Three days passed like this, and they did not find any other suspicious people except that man.

Just when Su Yan was about to let the matter go, one day, on her way to the old house, she suddenly discovered that there were a few new faces of beggars on the street.

Although the total number of beggars is still not large, it has indeed doubled compared to before.

Some slow-witted people on the street didn't think anything was wrong, but some sensitive people immediately felt something was wrong.

The New Year is coming soon, so there won’t be so many beggars suddenly.

Moreover, these beggars have the wrong accents, they don’t seem to be from their place.

Su Yan's hair stood on end, and he suddenly remembered the rumor that the autumn harvest tax was halved.

"...There are many places that have been affected by the disaster this year. The county is just an insignificant one among them. There are many other places that have been affected more seriously..."

Thinking of this, Su Yan recalled the appearance of the beggars he had seen on the road.

Both men and women were just skin and bones.

When they saw the food, their eyes seemed to glow green and they couldn't wait to rush up and grab it.

At this moment, the man she met for the first time appeared in her mind again, and his cold eyes at that moment.

Even if you don't believe it, the answer in your heart is about to come out.

Su Yan stood on the street, feeling terrified by her own guess.

As if sensing her mother's fear, Dudu held Su Yan's face and hugged her affectionately.

The temperature of the skin contact finally brought Su Yan back to his senses.

She swallowed hard and walked towards the old house with steady steps.

From behind, there was nothing unusual.

After going through a series of mechanical actions including walking, knocking on the door and entering, Su Yan's legs suddenly went weak when he stood inside the familiar courtyard wall.

The servant beside her exclaimed and supported her, and took Dudu over, and asked nervously, "Madam, are you okay?"

Su Yan shook her head, steadied herself, and reached out to catch Dudu.

But his arms were limp and powerless.

The servants were very worried when they saw this and did not dare to return Dudu to Su Yan.

Seeing this, Su Yan did not force it and said, "You...you can bring Dudu with me to my grandmother's yard. ...Thank you for your help."

The servant said in panic, "Young Madam, please forgive me. This is what I should do."

Su Yan led him all the way to Grandmother He's yard, then asked Cuilan to take Dudu and hold him, and went to see Grandmother He together.

These past few days, Su Yan came at about the same time every day, and Grandmother He waited for him out of habit.

I was originally a little worried that after Su Yan and He An moved out, I wouldn't be able to see them for ten days or half a month, but now I feel relieved.

Now Su Yan comes every day, making her feel like they haven't moved out and they are still living happily together.

Grandmother He was in a very happy mood, but as soon as Su Yan walked in, she immediately noticed something was wrong.
