Chapter 22 Why

With 400 taels in his sleeve, Han Shaotian was in a good mood, humming a little tune and came to a corner behind the government office and was about to speak.

"Bean sprouts, what are you doing this time? Where is the person? Why is it gone again?"

Looking at the empty corner, Han Shaotian couldn't help muttering.

"No, when you find her, you must talk to her well"

What's the matter with the daughter-in-law gone, eh?etc!My daughter-in-law is not around, and I still have a lot of money on me!Then can I go to fight crickets!

As soon as he said he would leave, Han Shaotian started looking around.

At this moment, Shen Key is also looking for this certain place.

"Boss, come make tea!"

"Okay, sir, wait a moment"

It was Han Shaotian who came here, at this time Han Shaotian wanted to scold his mother, thinking that I am a half-step genius, but I can't even find a decent cricket!
"My lord, the tea is here"

"okay"

He took the teapot, poured himself a bowl of tea, brought it to his mouth, put it back on the table, and hurriedly shouted at the back of the shopkeeper.

"Hold on, old man, I have something to ask you"

The old man turned around, looked at Han Shaotian with a smile on his face, walked over with his back bent, and asked suspiciously.

"I don't know, what do you want to ask?"

Han Shaotian poured another bowl of water, put it on the table to his left, and signaled the old man to sit down.

The tea stand was not busy, and the old man had no other guests to entertain, so he sat down without making excuses, picked up the bowl of water in front of him, took a breath of cool air, took a full sip, and put down the remaining half of the bowl of water.

Han Shaotian asked, "Old man, I wonder if there is such a place with lush vegetation and a lot of insects near here?"

The old man squinted his eyes and saw through Han Shaotian.

"Young master, are you looking for that cricket?"

Han Shaotian:! ! ! (⊿)! ! !
The old man said with a smile on his face.

"Young Master, don't be surprised, I'm afraid there is no cricket in this town that can satisfy you.

There is a gambling hall in the south of the town, and it has captured or bought all the crickets that can be seen in the town earlier
So, if you want to fight crickets, you can only go to the gambling hall to buy them, or go to the mountains a few kilometers away to find them."

Han Shaotian nodded as before, looked at the old man again and said.

"It seems that the old man is also an expert in this field."

As if recalling his childhood, the old man closed his eyes and said with a complacent expression.

"Young master has good eyesight. I think I was the king of children in the town back then. I was known as the ancestor of Jiyang crickets. My son, let me tell you, you have to look at the crickets."

The old man opened his eyes, the young man was still sitting beside him, and he left without knowing when, leaving only a few copper coins on the table.

The old man put the copper plates into his hands one by one, shook his head and sighed.

"Hey! The young people of today"

Han Shaotian, who was heading to the south of the town, couldn't help talking to himself.

"Fortunately, I run fast. If I stay there, I don't know how long I will listen to that old man bragging."

And Shen Key also came to a stall, and saw two slogans on both sides of the stall:

It is an exhaustive strategy, the best marriage.

Seeing a visitor coming, she was still a charming woman. The middle-aged man in literati clothes instead of Taoist robes quickly sat up straight and asked.

"Is this girl here for marriage?"

He came here with suspicion at first, and after seeing this person's unreliable appearance, Shen Key had already labeled this person as a liar in his heart.

As if to see what the girl in front of him was thinking, the man just said lightly.

"Since the girl is here, she must have something to worry about. Why don't I draw a lottery for you, so as not to keep it in my heart?"

Then added another sentence.

"No no money"

The words of the people in front of me don't seem to be like those fake Taoist priests who cheat people out of money, and he claims to be inferior rather than poor.

A thought flashed in Shen Key's head, could this be the latest quack routine?

Shen Key became interested in this, and then sat down and said.

"Okay, then you can do the math for this girl."

"Okay, but before the draw, I have to ask a few questions first"

"Okay, you can ask"

"Girl, are you looking for marriage?"

Hearing this question, Shen Key's gaze that met him was a little dodgy, not as imposing as before, and his voice lowered slightly.

"Forget it, let's do it"

The man just continued to ask questions without being surprised.

"Is there someone you like?"

Shen Key's voice lowered a bit, and his cheeks also turned slightly red.

"Have"

"Then, does he like you?"

Shen Key didn't speak this time, but just nodded his head, he didn't have the girly attitude at the beginning, but a shy look of an ordinary girl looking for a marriage lottery.

Seeing the changes in Shen Key in front of him, the man just sighed in his heart, it's nice to be young!

Then he moved the lottery holder to Shen Key and said.

"I see, girl, you can draw the lottery"

Shen Key held the stick with both hands and shook it, but he closed his eyes and didn't dare to look!
Slap!With a sound, a bamboo stick fell out of the tube, and just when Shen Key was about to open his eyes to look, a voice came from behind.

"Where did I go, it turned out that the signing was here"

Like a cat whose tail was stepped on, Shen Key stood up suddenly, turned to face Han Shaotian, and fumbled for the fallen lottery with both hands behind him, and stuffed it into his sleeve.

"I, I, I, I came to smoke for Sister Xiyuan and Gao Mumu, yes, I smoked for them"

Han Shaotian also walked to the front of the fortune-telling booth at this time and asked.

"Oh? Did you get it?"

"No! Didn't you come here just after I smoked you!"

Shen Key quickly changed the subject and asked.

"Did you borrow money?"

"borrowed"

"Then why don't you go to the restaurant and come here?"

"Don't worry about what I'm here for, don't you want to draw lots for Lao Gao and the others, draw?"

Seeing Shen Yao's faltering, Han Shaotian leaned his face forward with a mean face and asked.

"You don't come here to beg for our marriage, do you?"

"You're talking nonsense, I didn't, you fart!"

Shen Key subconsciously denied it three times in a row, and was about to glare at Han Shaotian when he raised his head, only to find that he was only about a punch away from the other's cheek, and his eyes that were originally full of anger suddenly changed, he was at a loss, shy, escape.

At this moment, the beautiful and harmonious picture was destroyed by a voice that shouldn't be heard.

"Besides my small stall, I thought there was only one other place here. This young man, is he going there?"

Shen Key, who is very good at catching blind spots, immediately discovered a different meaning from this sentence, no more shyness, no more bewilderment, no more evasion, but recovered the original anger, and unexpectedly licked his cheek He even leaned forward, but this sudden move frightened Han Shaotian back two steps.

"No, no, don't listen to his nonsense."

Without giving Han Shaotian a chance to continue his sophistry, Shen Key faced Han Shaotian and spoke to the person behind him.

"Go on! What kind of place is that!"

The man said with a face full of intoxication.

"Women may not like that place, but to men, it has a fatal attraction. No matter how old or young, they will not turn a blind eye to it."

"You fart!"

Seeing Han Shaotian interrupting the man behind him, Shen Key immediately spoke.

"Shut up! You, keep talking!"

After receiving Shen Key's will, the man continued.

"There, the men would form a circle and watch the crickets fight from above and then"

"Wait! Cricket?"

"Yes, cricket"

"You mean that place is a place for fighting crickets?"

"if not?"

Shen Key's fist was stiff at that time, Han Shaotian, who had long wanted to slap that person, immediately volunteered.

"I come!"

Shen Key stopped Han Shaotian who was about to rush forward, and stretched out his hand.

"Give me the money, I'll go back to the restaurant first"

With a cry, Han Shaotian took out six bank notes from his sleeve and put them in Shen Key's hand, but the other party didn't move, and still stretched out his hand.

Then Han Shaotian took out seven silver notes from the other sleeve and put them in Shen Key's hands, pretending to be surprised.

"Hey? Why are there still here?"

With thirteen bank notes in hand, Shen Key withdrew his hand, nodded, looked up at Han Shaotian and asked.

"Gone?"

"Gone!"

Then Shen Key turned and left, leaving Han Shaotian the beater and the fortune teller who was beaten up.

After a while of punching and kicking, Han Shaotian, who seemed to be tired, sat down on the ground and reached out to the person lying on the ground.

Seeing this, the man just replied.

"No money"

Han Shaotian turned to look at him and said.

"Don't pretend, I can see you changed the sign"

Hearing this, the man sat up, handed the lottery in his sleeve to Han Shaotian, and asked puzzledly.

"why?"
