Chapter 355: The old lady who sells chestnuts

The night is shrouded in the streets, paper money is scattered, drifting in the wind.

It's not long since nightfall, and there are still people talking from time to time, which looks a little harsh in the darkness.

And it was at this time that an old lady was walking on this deserted street with a small wooden car.

"Selling chestnuts..." An old shout spread far away, but no one responded, and even cursed from time to time, as if he was woken up from his sleep by the shout.

The old lady walked for a while and seemed a little tired. She stopped, took out a small stool from the wooden car and sat on the side of the road, stuffed her hands into her sleeves, and shivered.

It's November now, and the weather is already very cold. The old lady's cotton coat is obviously not allowed to keep her warm.

"This winter is not easy to pass." The old lady shivered and sighed.

And it was when she was sighing that a sound of footsteps came from the distance of the quiet street.

When the old lady looked at it, she saw a man coming over with a child.

"Old man, how do you sell fried chestnuts?" The young man walked to the wooden car, lifted up the quilt for keeping warm, picked up a chestnut, and asked with a smile.

The man was wearing a blue shirt and seemed to be unaffected by the cold weather at all.

On the contrary, the boy next to him was wearing a fur coat and was trembling constantly.

When the old lady saw the young man's appearance, she was slightly stunned. She had never seen such a handsome person, and she was more handsome than some famous young men she had seen before.

Seeing the old lady being stunned, Li Si coughed gently and picked up the chestnut in her hand to show it to the old lady.

"Ah... this young man, I have three copper coins per pound of chestnuts." The old lady quickly reacted and responded quickly.

"Three copper coins are not expensive." Li Si nodded slightly, then said, "Then please help me weigh it and weigh it ten kilograms."

Hearing Li Si's words, the old lady was stunned for a moment, and then said helplessly: "Young Master, I only have five kilograms, not ten kilograms."

"Oh? Why do you bring so little?" Li Si frowned slightly and asked.

"It's not easy to sell, no one eats these chestnuts." The old lady sighed softly.

Seeing the old lady say this, Li Si could only shake her head and then said, "Five pounds are only five pounds, please help me with the bag."

After saying that, he pushed a chestnut away and ate it, and gave the little boy beside him one.

The little boy took the chestnuts? He also started eating.

"Okay? I'll help you with your praise right away." The old lady laughed immediately when she heard this, like a chrysanthemum.

Then she stood up? She slowly stretched out her old hand and grabbed the chestnut.

Seeing this, Li Si also shipped fifteen copper coins from his sleeves and placed them beside the wooden cart.

"I have a headache..." It was at this moment that the little boy next to him suddenly said, "and then fell to the ground in pain.

But his expression seemed a little stiff? Not very natural.

At this time, Li Si frowned and then shook her head, as if she was trying to find a way to stay awake.

"You... chestnut..." He said something difficult, just like that little boy? He fell to the ground.

His expression was extremely smooth, showing the symptoms of a person after being poisoned.

Seeing this, the old lady smiled and poured the wrapped chestnuts into the wooden barrel again, covering the wooden barrel with a small quilt.

After doing all this, she said to herself: "I thought it was gone today, but I didn't expect another one to come."

As she said that, she walked to the little boy and picked up the little boy with difficulty. She stuffed it under the car, then pushed the car away.

"Selling chestnuts..." An old shout spread again.

With this shout, the car gradually disappeared into the darkness.

After the car disappeared, Li Si, who had already "unconscious", slowly stood up. He looked at the disappearance of the small wooden car and thoughtfully.

Then, he opened his mouth and spit out a completely peeled chestnut and fell accurately into the cracks in the distance.

It turned out that Li Si had never eaten that chestnut before, and all of it was just a fool to the old lady.

Then he took off the gourd from his waist and rinsed his mouth a few times, and waited until he felt a little more comfortable before he stopped rinsing his mouth.

"It seems that it's really you." Li Si frowned slightly. He had been out of Dashi Village for several days. Some time ago, he learned that a child had disappeared in the nearby village.

This attracted his attention, so he went to the place where the child disappeared and found some broken chestnut shells.

So he suspected that the disappearance of these children was related to the chestnuts, so he noticed the old lady who had been selling fried chestnuts in villages and towns.

When I tried it today, it was her who kidnapped the child.

He had already smelled a strong smell of medicine from the chestnut.

Now, all he has to do is find out where the old lady has brought the child.

As for how to find it, it was naturally the little boy just now.

That little boy was nothing but a little bitch.

This old lady probably wouldn't have thought of it, and she was abducted by a ghost.

Then, Li Si looked at some traces left under her feet and chased after her.

This is the trace left on the ground after Xiao Duan Xiao transformed his palm, so that Li Si could easily find him.

However, the more I pursued him, the more I felt something was wrong, because I had already walked out of the town and headed towards the wilderness.

But he clearly knew that this old lady was a human being, and he had actually seen it with his Yin-Yang eyes before.

Moreover, a ghost ran to the town to commit the crime, which was really seeking death.

But that's how weird it is.

After all, this old lady is so old that if she encounters something in the wild, she will definitely not be able to get rid of it.

For example, if you encounter something like a wolf with your shoulders, it is not something that an old lady can resist.

"It seems that there is some evil spirit." Li Si breathed out gently, his eyes a little solemn.

Thinking of this, he did not hesitate and chased the old lady in the direction.

Soon, Li Si had arrived at a mass grave, where the graves were of varying heights, and he even found a half-buried tombstone under his feet.

This shows that this mass grave has a long history.

And when Li Si entered here, there was a sound around him, and pairs of green eyes appeared in the darkness.

This is an animal that has always lived in the tombs.

After discovering that Li Si arrived, these animals left their nests one after another and stared at Li Si with greedy eyes.

They have eaten many corpses, and now they see a living person, they are naturally drooling.

Looking at these animals, Li Si also recognized them, they were all foxes.

But what made him helpless was that these foxes did not attack the old lady, but instead attacked him.
