Chapter 39 The other side(1/2)
The incident happened in an instant, and Liu Ruiying had no time to react. In fact, he could not have thought that this kettle would be snatched away in the street, so he was not prepared for it.
The man sneaked into the alley next to him and lost his trace. Even if Liu Ruiying wanted to catch up, it would be too late.
But the weird girl who was pushing a cart to sell paper, walked from behind to the front. Her figure would be like a head high on the countertop of the cart, and the makeup on her face, it was hard to tell whether it was a living person or a paper dummy.
"Hehehe..."
The girl sneered at Liu Ruiying, and her voice was filled with lust, which made Liu Ruiying shake off her goosebumps!
"why are you laughing?"
Just after losing something, Liu Ruiying was unhappy.
No matter how important things are, they are your own things. They are snatched away for no reason, but they are powerless to make things happen. Of course they will be unhappy!
Then he was ridiculed by this person again, and Liu Ruiying was very rude.
"I'm happy!"
The girl said.
“Why are you happy?”
Liu Ruiying asked in confusion.
"Because I have business again! Of course I'm happy to be able to make money!"
The girl explained.
Liu Ruiying still didn't understand the meaning.
The girl waved at him and signaled him to follow him.
Then he pushed the cart, shaking the paper all over the cart. Liu Ruiying followed her into the alley where the man who had just snatched the kettle.
It is completely different from the leisure and leisure outside, but here there are hungry people everywhere!
After a closer look, the ones lying on the ground were not as thin as a man, and they were all hanging out. It was obviously not hungry.
"What's wrong with them?"
Liu Ruiying asked.
"Are you thirsty?"
Not only did the girl not answer, she also asked questions with Liu Ruiying at the same time.
Liu Ruiying licked her lips.
He was not thirsty at first, but when asked this, his mouth was a little dry. However, he still said that he was not thirsty, otherwise he would have shown timidity in front of this girl!
Men need face, especially in front of strange women.
They will try to maintain an image and not break it easily.
This is even more true in front of the woman you like, and you will even deliberately change your image.
Of course he can't destroy his image now, even if it's just such a detail.
"Well said, the people here used to say the same thing as you!"
"When they still have a kettle!"
The girl said one sentence twice.
Only then did Liu Ruiying realize that the people lying on the ground were not hungry, but thirsty!
They used to have kettles, and they should have been in the black boat like Liu Ruiying, and then the kettle was also taken away, so they became so thirsty.
People with oil and water in their stomachs don’t feel that it’s a big deal if they are hungry for two or three days. But when they are thirsty, they feel even more uncomfortable every hour. In the end, they can only lie down completely, greedily wanting to absorb the pitiful moisture on the ground in the shade.
However, Liu Ruiying suddenly remembered what the ship worker said when she got off the ship.
A sip of water is worth five taels of silver. Although it is a sky-high price, there are not a sip of water on this island. If these people can come to the "Xiaoyao Cave", they must be the ones who are not short of money. How could they end up being unable to afford a sip of water?
"There are so many fun things, I'm so fascinated! In addition, I'm drinking hard, and I feel thirsty faster. When I reacted, I had no money to buy water, so I could only lie here and wait for death! "
When the girl said the word "death", an unparalleled excitement actually burst into her eyes!
This word that everyone is afraid of is like a huge joyful event by this girl.
Liu Ruiying thought about it again, but she understood the trick!
As long as someone dies, the paper she sells will have a steady stream of business.
But these people are also lonely ghosts in the "Xiaoyao Cave". If they die, they will die. No one cares about it. How could anyone buy paper for them and burn the memorial service?
The girl smiled without saying a word.
The look seemed to be saying, it would be a matter of time before Liu Ruiying came here to lie down.
Liu Ruiying suddenly thought, were the person who snatched the kettle and the girl who sold paper thorns? She was so sure that someone would buy paper thorns for these lonely ghosts. It would be a good idea to snatch people's kettles as soon as possible!
The water in the kettle can also be priced at a high price, so you can make two money without a business.
Thinking of this, when Liu Ruiying met the girl's strange smile, she ran away, trying to stay away from him.
Passing by the stall selling roasted sweet potatoes again, the fragrance is still charming. However, this time, even the boss selling roasted sweet potatoes looked at Liu Ruiying, with a faint joking, as if he had thrown away the kettle. Liu Ruiying, the person, changed completely!
The original good mood is now a mess...
However, I became hungry again, so I had to look for a bite and eat it first.
Fortunately, there are many shops on this street, so you can get whatever you want.
There is a board at the door, with no names on it, and it is specially used to introduce the chef. Even people like Liu Ruiying, who are not delicious, have seen the famous chefs he has heard of!
But these famous chefs are all from all over the world, and there are even people from Xiawei City. What is the ability of this "Xiaoyao Cave" to gather all these famous chefs on this small island.
Unable to resist the thought, his spirit was finally defeated by his desire. Liu Ruiying picked a random family and walked in.
Before I could cross the threshold, I saw two acquaintances!
It was the neighbor on the black ship.
Although Liu Ruiying didn't know the names of them, she was not a stranger at all, so she smiled at them very well.
The two women were also very enthusiastic when they saw Liu Ruiying walking into the store. After all, they had watched him blindly when they were on the deck. Now that they came to the door, it was natural to have such an opportunity to be so close.
"Where is your kettle?"
Just as he was about to come forward to greet him, he suddenly found that Liu Ruiying had no kettle and immediately stopped.
"I was snatched up just now, not far ahead."
Liu Ruiying answered in detail.
There is nothing to lie about like this. Being stolen is different from being stolen. And I really don’t have a kettle. Anyone can tell the difference at a glance that such a big thing.
"Sit as you like."
The two women lost their enthusiasm and said something extremely coldly.
Liu Ruiying sat down nervously. It seemed that this kettle was indeed very important in Xiaoyao Cave. Now that he has no kettle, even the people who open the store have changed their attitude towards him!
But Liu Ruiying suddenly realized that the two women came on the same boat with her, but they were not from Xiaoyao in the "Xiaoyao Cave". They were originally the shops here, so they probably returned to the inland for something, and then happened to come back with Liu Ruiying.
Among the two, the man whose attitude towards Liu Ruiying suddenly changed, carried a tray of wine pots and went upstairs slowly. The remaining person saw her walking up and his footsteps gradually became less and then he came to Liu Ruiying and asked in a low voice:
"Just just now when your kettle was stolen, everyone received the news!"
After saying that, he took out a piece of paper.
Not only are there Liu Ruiying's appearance and pictures, but also the time and place when he was stolen from the kettle.
Liu Ruiying was shocked!
Calculate the time. From the time the kettle was snatched away until now, it was less than one stick of incense. How could the news be so fast and accurate?
The woman did not explain the reason, but continued to say to herself: "When you can't stand the thirst, can you come here?"
"Why?"
Liu Ruiying asked in surprise.
He didn't believe that this woman would be so kind and would like to drink water by herself!
"As long as you die of thirst here, I will definitely bury you in a grand manner and burn a lot of paper for you to eat and drink on the other side, and live a more relaxed life than in the 'Xiaoyao Cave'!"
The woman explained.
Liu Ruiying laughed silently after hearing this...
I am hoping to die!
The first time I saw a store that likes someone who dies in his own store!
"If I really die of thirst, then I can die anywhere. I wonder if the boss's wife can tell me what the benefits will be if I die in this store?"
Liu Ruiying asked.
The boss's eyes immediately became empty... he lost his energy.
"One life for another life, here..." Before she finished speaking, another person had already walked downstairs.
To be continued...
