Chapter 1191
Su Xin responded casually, "I happen to be a little hungry."

While talking, he tied the horse to the stone pier beside the store door.

Then he randomly picked up the table by the door and sat down, glanced over the steaming steamer, and said, "Well, give me twenty buns first, and if you have porridge or noodle soup, also give me two." bowl…"

The proprietress paused for a moment before answering, and shouted to the man behind, "Da Lang, pick up twenty buns..."

After finishing speaking, he said to Su Xin: "There are still some porridge in the pot, I'll heat it up for you first."

Su Xin nodded, and the proprietress went to work in front of the stove.

And the man named Da Lang picked up the steamer and looked at it, and said that there were only three buns, and the rest would have to wait for a while.

Su Xin said it's okay, just wait for a while.

Dalang put three warm steamed buns on a plate and brought them to the table. Su Xin thanked him and started to eat with chopsticks.

The steamed stuffed bun is bigger than a fist and has plenty of fillings.

At this time, the funeral procession on the street just came to the door of the shop, and Su Xin subconsciously asked the proprietress who served her gruel: "Sister, do you know what's going on with this family?"

Hearing Su Xin's question, the proprietress sighed again.

Ying said: "This is the Xing family from the east entrance of the city. His family has been tailors for three generations. He is very famous in our city. Even we will go to him to make two sets of clothes for Chinese New Year. But for some reason, last year Old Xingtou died... On the same day this year, Xing Baotang also went, leaving only this litter of orphans and widows, alas, I'm afraid this day will be difficult..."

"So that's how it is..." Su Xin responded casually while eating porridge buns.

At this moment, another handful of paper money was thrown into the air by the old woman, clattering——

Paper money fluttered down again, and a piece of paper money cut into copper coins just landed on the table in front of Su Xin.

Su Xin stretched out her hand to pick up the paper money, narrowed her eyes slightly, and sensed an extremely weak magnetic field fluctuation between the tentacles.

This was also because she had become more alert the last time she spent the night with the caravan.

Otherwise, I really couldn't find it just now.

However, as the paper money got farther away from the funeral procession, and the fluctuation of the magnetic field on it was already very weak, it disappeared completely in a moment.

Could it be that the people in the coffin were the same as those in the caravan?
With a movement in his heart, Su Xin quickly controlled it with his mind, and probed a ray of green light from the Divine Tree of Heaven's Secret into the coffin.

paper man?

Is it really a paper man?
But...it's broad daylight now, why?
Oh, is it because the essence is exhausted and can't change back?

Su Xin couldn't help but felt a pang of regret.

Just when she was about to take back the green light, her gaze swept over the four men who carried the coffin.

She found that these people walked very hard, as if the coffin was very heavy.

Su Xin thought, this is impossible.

She hugged the paper doll herself last time, and her whole body weighed almost nothing.

And that coffin weighed a few dozen kilograms at best, and could be carried by an adult, let alone carried by four people.

Not right.

bang-

At this moment, one of the porters suddenly yelled, and his body was overwhelmed, and he tilted all of a sudden.

Several other people also lost their center of gravity and almost fell.

With a bang, the coffin fell heavily to the ground.

The funeral procession stopped, and the ashen eyes of the old woman in front showed panic and despair. She was stunned for a long time before she realized it, and threw herself on the coffin.

The three children in the back, the oldest in his teens, and the youngest in his four or five years, were holding onto their mother's clothes tightly, trying to hide themselves behind.

He looked at the front in fear and blankly.

The woman comforted the children, told them to stay where they were, and went up to see the porter who fell first.

I found that the skin on the opponent's shoulders had been worn out, and the bar suddenly slipped just now, scraping off a layer of flesh on the shoulders.

When the coffin fell, it happened to hit the foot again, and it was dripping with blood.

The few pedestrians couldn't help but stop and watch, but no one stepped forward, but leaned back timidly.

It's like a scourge ahead that wants to devour people.

Su Xin felt an inexplicable pain in her heart, she never thought that such a good city would be turned into such a desolate and indifferent place by those "things".

She quickly stood up and was about to go over to check the situation. Although she had sensed that the coffin was indeed a paper doll with the light of the sacred tree just now, the fact now is that the porter was almost crushed to death...

The proprietress suddenly stopped her: "...Sister, you, you better not go there."

Su Xin heard the hesitation in the proprietress's words, and thought there must be something hidden.

Now that the situation over there is a foregone conclusion, and I really don't know anything about everything here, so I stopped and asked: "What do you say, big sister?"

The proprietress seemed very conflicted, Su Xin took out two pieces of silver from her pocket, and said, "By the way, I will pay for the meal first, do you think this is enough?"

The proprietress was also very clear-headed. Seeing Su Xin's actions, she knew that the other party wanted to ask about the situation, and she seemed even more embarrassed, and said, "Sister, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that... but, that, it..."

Su Xin stuffed the money into the other party's hand: "This is the pre-dinner that I should have given, is it possible that the elder sister will postpone it?"

The proprietress sighed, returned a piece of silver to Su Xin, and said: "This is enough. I think you are a foreigner. You should not know some things. Listen less, read less and ask less, so as not to get into trouble."

Su Xin smiled: "Thank you for your kindness, elder sister, but my job is to meddle in 'nosy', and this time I happened to be entrusted by someone to come to your place, so I have to take care of this matter regardless. If Eldest Sister is really doing it for my own good, perhaps she should tell me the truth, so that I can be mentally prepared."

The proprietress was taken aback for a moment, staring at Su Xin with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

He only heard Su Xin say, "Save the rice and buns for me, I'll come back to eat later." Then she walked towards the street.

The proprietress shouted from behind: "There have been no foreigners in our county for two years. Even if they did come, they would come and go..."

Su Xin stopped and looked back at the proprietress, "Just now you said... there have been no foreigners for two years? But I heard that a caravan came here not long ago and bought a lot of red fruits here?"

The proprietress snorted, "That's what you're talking about... Well, that's just an example, but it must be..."

Su Xin heard that there was something in the boss's wife's words, but because they had just met each other, and she was a newcomer, she didn't have any basis for trust.

If you still want to know more from the other party, you must come up with something that convinces and trusts the other party.

Otherwise, why should you ask others to tell you everything in a bamboo tube? !
