You said you would tell fortunes, so you can catch ghosts and exterminate zombies easily?

Su Chen paused while peeling the candy.

"Did you see that?"

The little boy nodded.

"Are you afraid?"

The little boy nodded, then shook his head: "Don't be afraid, Xiaoguai, you are a man!"

Su Chen touched his head.

"Yes, Xiaoguai is great. Uncle will give you some candy as a reward. Open your mouth."

After all, he was just a five or six-year-old child. Su Chen ate the candy as soon as he was coaxed, and thanked him obediently.

After the sweetness in his mouth dissipated, he finally reacted and stared blankly at the candy wrapper in Su Chen's hand.

"Uncle, I, I..."

Su Chen dragged the chair closer, patted the seat, and waited for the little guy to understand and climb up to sit down before putting the remaining two candies in his hand.

"Uncle isn't giving you candy for free. I'm giving you a task, okay?"

The little boy looked at him curiously.

Su Chen drew a talisman and taught him how to fold it.

"Are you ready?"

"Uh-huh."

"That's great! If you can fold 10 pieces, you'll get one candy. If you can fold 100 pieces, uncle will give you one dollar. Is that okay?"

"Mmmmmmm!"

The little guy excitedly spread out the talisman paper and folded it again several times. After making sure he remembered it, he looked at Su Chen expectantly.

After Xiao Liu'er finished adding water to the guests with the help of a wooden stick, she turned around and saw the little boy sitting there obediently, and was stunned.

Seeing Old Song come in, she whispered, "Grandpa, who is that?"

"The kid from the Pan family next door is called Xiaoguai, eh~"

Little Liu'er was puzzled: "Grandpa, why are you sighing?"

She just took a close look at Xiaoguai.

He was dressed much better than her, and had no injuries on his face or hands. He looked well-cared for and must have been very much loved by his family.

What's there to sigh about?

"What do you know, little girl?"

"Grandpa~"

Xiao Liuer saw that Old Song didn't want to talk about the Pan family anymore, so she pouted and said, "So are we going to send him home later?"

She had been bullied many times by the kids in the neighborhood because of her legs, and later she often stayed in the store and rarely went out.

Now...

A hint of cunning flashed in Xiao Liu'er's eyes.

If anyone laughs at you again, roll up your trouser legs and show them what a broken leg looks like, scare them to death!

snort!

Little Liu'er's eyes were filled with anticipation: "Grandpa, if no one else is there to take you there, can I take you there later?"

Lao Song: "..."

He looked Xiao Liu'er up and down suspiciously.

"You want to go out for a walk?"

"Uh-huh, grandpa, is it not possible?" Little Liu'er asked aggrievedly.

"Okay, it's just that it's drizzling outside and the ground is slippery, you..."

"Grandpa, I promise I'll be careful."

Someone called out to Lao Song for a cigarette, but he quickly waved his hand and said, "Okay, whatever you like."

The aftermath of the incident in the old street continued into the evening.

People came over one after another to inquire about the situation. The neighbors in the old street all told the story vividly, and Old Song was even more talkative in the teahouse.

Of course, Su Chen also sold more than twenty amulets later.

It was getting dark.

More people came to watch the fun.

A thin old woman walked up to the stall with a dry laugh and said, "Master, I heard you have amulets for sale here? I'd like to buy one."

Xiaoguai skillfully took out a folded piece of paper, but before he handed it over, Su Chen pressed down his little hand.

"Sorry, there are no more amulets."

Xiaoguai blinked blankly.

The old woman was stunned for a moment, then continued to laugh dryly, pointing at what Xiaoguai was holding and the ones lined up behind him: "Master, you're joking, these are all there."

Su Chen silently took the amulet from Xiaoguai's hand and put all the arranged amulets into the cloth bag.

Smile: "Really not!"

Telling lies in broad daylight.

This surprised Old Ji, who had just come out.

I don't understand why Su Chen said that.

Don’t you want to make money?

It shouldn’t be!

He sold so many amulets before, and he even specially painted them to sell later. Master Su doesn’t look like someone who doesn’t cherish 20 yuan.

Old Ji quietly retreated and dragged Old Song, who was showing off his saber, over.

After explaining the whole story in a low voice, Old Song glanced at him with disdain.

"Can't you understand?"

Old Ji nodded.

"That's right, you don't understand!"

"Who is Taoist Su? If we can understand everything he does, we would be masters!"

Old Ji blinked and gave a thumbs up in understanding.

Old Song: "But it's a bit strange. Taoist Su doesn't look like he's targeting her, and he clearly has a talisman. Could it be..."

He narrowed his eyes and quickly looked at Old Ji: "I understand~"

"Hurry up!"

Old Ji leaned over and whispered.

"Master Su must have made enough money today."

"Ah? Is there anyone who thinks the money is too much?"

"What do you know? Experts like them often reveal secrets, which leads to many drawbacks and shortcomings."

Old Song pulled Old Ji in and started chatting.

In front of the stall, the old woman's face darkened as she faced Su Chen, who remained calm.

"Why don't you sell it to me?" She spoke in a soft tone and gently.

Only when he spoke did a sinister glint flash across his eyes.

Anyone who sees her will think that she is a kind and gentle old lady.

But children are very sensitive to people's malice.

Xiaoguai subconsciously shrank his neck.

With fear in his eyes, he quietly moved towards Su Chen.

Su Chen glanced behind her and saw countless tiny gray souls constantly crashing into the old woman's back.

He smiled: "You misunderstood, there really is no amulet."

While speaking, Su Chen bent his fingers.

The old woman's head buzzed and she felt dizzy for a moment. When she shook her head and looked at Su Chen again, there was confusion in her eyes.

"I……"

Su Chen smiled: "Sorry, the amulet is really gone."

"Oh, oh, is that so? Then I...I'll come back tomorrow. Will there be one?"

"It depends."

Su Chen smiled and sent the old woman away. Turning around, he saw Xiaoguai staring at him in surprise. He rubbed his head, took out a dollar from his cloth bag and handed it to him: "Here!"

"besides……"

"11 candies."

Xiaoguai quickly forgot about the old woman's strange behavior and became excited.

"Thank you, thank you uncle!"

"You're welcome."

There were so many candies that his pockets couldn't hold them all.

When the little guy was feeling depressed, a small cloth bag was handed to him.

Looking up, I met Xiao Liu'er's bright smile.

"I'm lending it to you. I'll take you home later and you can return it to me."

Xiaoguai didn't answer and looked at her warily.

Xiao Liu'er was helpless: "I don't want your candy. Eating too much will cause tooth decay. I don't want your money either. I, I have money."

Xiaoguai let down his guard, thanked her, and carefully put the candy in.

Watching Xiao Liu'er and Xiao Guai walking away, Su Chen hesitated for a moment and was then disturbed by the noise beside him.

Siyan was jumping up and down anxiously.

"Master Su, you know that child's family...how could you let Xiao Liu'er go there?"

"Little Liu'er will get stye. Who knows, who knows... she might get scared!"

Su Chen scratched his ears.

“Who hasn’t been scared?”

Four Eyes was anxious: "But, but that is..."

"You want her to stay in the greenhouse for the rest of her life? Have you asked her opinion?"

Four Eyes was stunned.

Su Chen said in a faint voice: "Look, you are always wishful thinking."

Four Eyes: “…”

"Why don't you tell me how you died?"

"After death, instead of staying with Xilan, it's not right to come to the underworld in Songjiang, right?"
