Help!There are monsters in this pawnshop

Chapter 214 Xing Sansuan

Zhu Xiaozhou looked at Teacher Jiang, wanting to try again.

But thinking of the way Teacher Jiang was frightened just now.
"Why do you look at me like that?" Teacher Jiang seemed to sense a little bit of danger from Zhu Xiaozhou's eyes, and she took a half step back, trying to escape from here.

Bai Yuan seemed to understand what Zhu Xiaozhou was thinking. "Forget it, take a break first, and find out the reason slowly."

"But." Zhu Xiaozhou worried.

She hadn't found the whereabouts of the Xing family in that "illusory land" just now.

It is just a speculation that they are still in the "Illusion Realm", but the possibility of this guess has not been confirmed.

Calculating the time now, if Xing Lei and the others are trapped in the illusion, they may have been in it for several days. If the time is too long, they may never be able to return to the real world.

"It's nothing but your life is more important." Bai Yuan insisted on stopping, "Let's find a place to rest first, and then ask the people in the village about the Xing family."

"Baiyuan." Zhu Xiaozhou couldn't bear to let Xing Lei go.

"You don't want to know, have I found anything?" Bo Yuan persuaded her, knowing what she was worried about.

But now, she looks very weak. If she enters the illusion again, she may not have the physical strength to leave again.

Zhu Xiaozhou had no choice but to agree.

Teacher Jiang followed them and followed them back to the entrance of the village.

Find people in the village to ask if similar strange things have happened to the Xing family before.

"Strange thing?" The aunt at the entrance of the village laughed strangely when she heard it.

"What does this mean? Is it yes or no?" Teacher Jiang was terrified. Seeing the aunt's reaction, she really didn't know what to do. "Auntie, their house."

"Whoever's family has a strange thing happen, it's impossible for their family to have a strange thing. Let me tell you, it's because the predecessors didn't accumulate virtue and used up the blessings of the future generations, so everyone in their family disappeared!" Aunt Said eloquently.

Zhu Xiaozhou narrowed his eyes slightly, listening to aunt's meaning. The Xing family, is there really something wrong? ! "Auntie, can you tell us about the Xing family?"

"You want to know about the Xing family? Who are you, what are you doing asking about these things?" The aunt looked at them, feeling that they had malicious intentions.

On the contrary, someone who had spoken just now spoke for them. "These are from the city. They are said to be the teacher of that kid from the Xing family? Right, are they the teacher?"

"Yes!" Teacher Jiang immediately admitted his identity, "I am Xing Lei's teacher, Xing Lei should have gone back to his hometown with his parents to deal with his grandfather's funeral, but he didn't ask for leave from the school, and I couldn't contact his parents , we can only find it.”

"Then what if you can't find him?" Auntie asked interestingly.

"Can't find him?" Teacher Jiang was really stunned by the question. She didn't expect this to happen before she came. She never thought about what to do if Xing Lei couldn't be found.

I thought that as long as I got here, I would be able to find Xing Lei and his parents.

Then, she would persuade Xing Lei's parents to send Xing Lei back to school first, so as not to delay the class.

"I"

"Since they're all here, how could they not be found?" Zhu Xiaozhou said, "Auntie, you see we have worked so hard to find this place for a child. Just tell us what you know. Otherwise, We won’t be able to pay the bill when we go back!”

Teacher Jiang turned to look at Zhu Xiaozhou.

Obviously she is the only one who is a teacher, why does Zhu Xiaozhou seem to be able to enter the role of a teacher in an instant?

It is impossible to say that she has no doubts——

Zhu Xiaozhou said before that she is the owner of a pawn shop.

It's just that at that moment, Teacher Jiang's whole mind was on Bai Yuan, thinking that he could find Xing Lei when he came here, so he didn't worry about it anymore.Instead, what he thought about was how to get in touch with Bo Yuan along the way, and how to make Bo Yuan leave a good impression on her.

As for who Zhu Xiaozhou is the owner of the pawn shop, why did Xing Lei find her?
She really hadn't thought about it, but now she felt suspicious.

"The Xing family you are talking about, there is a man named Xing Sansuan in his family's ancestors." The uncle on the side took over the conversation, "Oh, that must have been a long time ago, the Republic of China?"

Republic of China?

"Almost—" the villagers on the side echoed, agreeing with the uncle's statement.

"Xing Sansuan, who is he?" Zhu Xiaozhou was curious, hearing the name like a charlatan.

A quack warlock during the Republic of China?
"Xing Sansuan was born in the village when he was a child. He had no father. He was a child his mother picked up from a pile of dead people. Her mother used half a catty of millet to change her name to the teacher's husband, named Ji, Xing Ji." said the uncle. .

But when the child was four years old, there was a famine in the village and many people died.

Those who were alive also left this place to make a living, and Xing Ji's adoptive mother died at that time.

It just so happened that this kid was so fateful that he wandered all over the village and went to the mass graves to find food, so he managed to survive like this.

".Look at the current village. Many people are no longer there. Most of them came from other places later, stayed here, and lived here. If you want to say that there are so many people in this village. One, who can’t walk and can’t escape, originally waited here to die, but somehow survived.”

The uncle spoke seriously, and Zhu Xiaozhou was fascinated by it.

These things about Xing Sansuan were also passed down from generation to generation by the old people in the village who did not die at that time.

That Xing Ji was naturally bold, he not only ate in the mass graves, but also lived in the mass graves, he was not afraid at all of guarding the dead.

Later, a Taoist priest passed by the village and saw that he had roots of wisdom, and that he was a child born out of the ordinary.He wanted to take him as a disciple and take him away from this place, but Xing Ji would not leave without saying anything, he said this is his home, he was born here and grew up here, and he will die here.

The Taoist had no choice but to give up.

But before leaving, he took a book and gave it to him, anyway, it was about those strange spells and the like.

Xing Ji learned to recognize each word, went outside the classroom to eavesdrop, and came back to study the book that the Taoist priest left him.

It really made him learn it.

"He, after he has learned something, he tells fortunes for others. He just does three hexagrams every day, and one more hexagram doesn't count. Not to mention, he is very good at calculating. Many dignitaries and dignitaries came here specially, and asked him to do the fortune-telling. He is considered Sangua, and if he is late, he can only wait for tomorrow. After a long time, everyone gave him a nickname, Xing Sansuan!" said the uncle.

It turned out that this is how Xing Sansuan got his name.

Because of his accurate calculations and eloquent speech, there are an endless stream of people who come to him for fortune-telling, but he only counts three hexagrams, and it doesn't count if there are too many.

So those people could only live nearby, and waited until the next morning, and came early to ask him for fortune-telling.

Slowly, the existence of Xing Sansuan drove some developments in the village, such as accommodation.

People in the village rent out their houses
