Master in charge of the case: Our county magistrate has a black belly

Chapter 19

"She really has mana, and she has indeed eaten mermaid meat before. You know, there was a mermaid corpse three years ago, right?" Xiaoyu continued.

Everyone was taken aback, "Has the corpse of a mermaid appeared here? You must be talking about a rumor from three years ago, right?"

"That's just an exaggeration." Nayue explained, obviously not convinced.

"You obviously saw it too, the broken bone of that mermaid is simply weird." Xiaoyu's words suddenly became gloomy and terrifying.

"Stop talking." A man also came out of the ancestral hall, "There are many things that are inconvenient to say in front of outsiders."

"Feng Luo." Xiaoyu turned to look at the man.

"Everyone, if you are looking for Mo Nu, you should go to Mo Nu's house to find out the situation, but the premise is that his drunken father is at home." After finishing speaking, he left, and Xiaoyu followed him.

"No one is worried about Mo Nu's safety." Xia Yan was very puzzled, and neither were the others.

Nayue said, "This is because Mo Nu often quarreled with his father and ran away from home."

"Then can I trouble you to take us to Mo Nu's house?" Han Quce said to Nai Yue, to understand the situation.

"Of course, but...you have to wait until the celebration is over..."

"Then what activities will you have during the celebration? Buddhist rituals or something?" Xiang Hua was curious, he hadn't seen the mermaid celebration yet.

"Everyone goes to the ancestral hall to get a piece of paper. There will be numbers on the paper. The number is the same as the number in the hand of the great-grandmother. It depends on luck. Do you want to try it too?" Nami looked at Lu Yu and his party .

"us?"

"Yeah, two people just returned the numbering slips today, why don't I give them to you." Naiyue took two numbering slips from her arms and handed them to Xiang Hua. Axiu also took one out of curiosity. The numbers are eight and 29, and a little mermaid is drawn in the lower right corner of the paper. "Maybe you can also tell everyone that you will live forever and be young forever." Nai Yue laughed.

"Really?" Axiu became even more excited.

The ancestral hall at night was extraordinarily lively and brightly lit. Everyone was laughing and talking about something.

"I suddenly feel so excited." Axiu was very excited, wanting to see what the legendary Luo Po looked like.

"Me too, me too." Xiang Hua was also excited, maybe he could see the mermaid.

"Why are you acting like a girl?" Lu Yu laughed at him.

"Hmph! Aren't you excited?"

"Okay, the celebration has begun." Han Quce interrupted them.

Everyone gathered outside the ancestral hall. Two people in black robes opened the door of the ancestral hall. The lights inside were exceptionally bright. Inside the ancestral hall, there was a young woman with white hair and a short stature sitting on her knees.

"Oh, it's Luo Po." Everyone discussed.

"This is Luo Po." Xiang Hua was surprised, looking...

"Not only does she live a long life, but she also looks so young... But she looks very short." Axiu was very envious.

Luo Po holds a torch and lights it on the fire platform in front of the ancestral hall. The torch burns in the air.

"Why did she set the cloth on fire?" Axiu stared with wide eyes.

When the cloth met the fire, it did not cause a big fire, but only a few numbers appeared, and the numbers were burning, but the rest of the cloth did not ignite, which is very magical.

"So that's it... the number on the cloth is..." Lu Yu murmured, but was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"I, I, I won...!" Axiu said excitedly, she didn't even think that she would win.

"I was hit too!" Everyone looked for the sound, it was Xiaoyu who was in the ancestral hall before.
