Chapter 422: I saw what I shouldn't have seen
??Chapter 422 I saw something I shouldn't have seen
??Walking on the streets of Jin State, Su Ying found that there were many people of different races on the road. These people of different races would wear the unique costumes of their ethnic group, which was rarely seen in Chu State.
??The local residents of Tuo City seem to have been used to such a scene for a long time, and they are no longer surprised by the existence of aliens.
??Because there are many people of different races, there are so many strange things sold in the streets and alleys, even Su Ying is dazzled.
?? "Sister, that mask is so scary."
??Su Ying looked along Que Que's hand, and found that there were many vendors selling ghost noodles on the street. She was a little curious, is this thing popular in Jin State?
??With doubts, Su Ying walked to the vendor.
??The hawker greeted Su Ying enthusiastically when he saw Su Ying coming, "My lady wants to buy ghost noodles for the Hundred Ghosts Festival. My ghost noodles here are well-made to ensure my lady's satisfaction. You can see which one you want and I'll get it for you."
?? "Hundred Ghosts Festival? What kind of festival is this?"
Hearing Su Ying's question, the peddler laughed and said, "Isn't the lady from our place? This Hundred Ghosts Festival is a festival unique to our state of Jin. It is a festival to pay homage to the dead. Everyone will wear ghost masks on this day, which means welcoming the dead. return of the dead."
?? "Is it today?"
?? "Yes, there is still fun to watch in Nancheng at night, so let's buy two masks for the little lady to join in the fun."
??Su Ying looked at Que Que's expectant eyes. Since she came here, it's okay to join in the fun. She asked Que Que to choose two masks and asked the direction of Nancheng.
??The Nancheng mentioned by the hawker is not far from where they settled down, only two streets away.
?? It’s not even night yet, but you can already see vendors setting up their stalls on the side of the road one after another.
?? "Sister, look, why are there so many people in front?"
??Su Ying raised her eyes and saw that there were indeed people surrounded in front of her. She led Que Que and walked over. When she got to the front of the crowd, she saw a little girl who was about the same age as Que Que walking on stilts.
?? It turned out to be juggling.
??Su Ying is not interested in these things, but seeing Que Que's enthusiasm, she watched from the side with her.
?? "Pfft!" The juggling uncle spat out his drink, and the torch in his hand instantly burst into high flames, which made everyone clap their hands and applaud.
??The women in the juggling troupe came forward with a gong to ask for a reward.
??Su Ying casually took out some copper coins for her, and the woman was very grateful.
?? "Sister, what is this? It's so fun, but it's also very dangerous." After reading it, Que Que still couldn't get enough of it.
?? "That's juggling, are you tired? Let's find a place to eat something, how about we go out and visit the night market after it gets darker?"
"good."
??Su Ying found a restaurant on the street. It's not time for meal yet, but there are already many diners in the restaurant, and the lobby is almost full.
??Uncle He said that lively restaurants are not necessarily delicious, but the food in unpopular restaurants is definitely not good, so she chooses lively restaurants.
?? "Two guest officers, please. I wonder if you want to be a compartment on the second floor or in the lobby?"
??Su Ying saw that the lobby was full of people, many of whom were drunk and turned red. She didn't want to scare the birds and asked for the cubicle on the second floor.
??The so-called partition is just a place separated by a few screens, which is better than the crowded lobby.
?? "What do you two want to eat? Our signature today is roast chicken. The charred outside and tender inside are guaranteed to satisfy you."
"what else?"
?? "There are also crystal elbows, braised sea fish..."
??The buddy reported the names of five or six dishes.
?? "Just follow what you just said."
?? "Hey, my little one, I'll leave it to you two to prepare."
??Su Ying and the others are sitting by the window, and they can still see people coming and going on the street by the window, which is more lively than before.
??After a quarter of an hour, the waiter brought up the dishes one after another.
?? "The dishes for both of you have been served. If you need anything else, just let me know."
?? "It's time to work."
?? "You two take it easy."
??Su Ying looked at Que Que and said, "Eat, you can play when you are full."
?? Que Que said yes, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
??Su Ying took a bite of a chicken drumstick, and the juice exploded in one bite. The skin of the grilled chicken is particularly crispy, but the meat is very tender. No wonder the signature is really delicious.
?? Que Que didn't eat much, almost all the dishes on the table went into Su Ying's stomach.
??Su Ying drank the last mouthful of soup, and then burped in satisfaction.
?? "Sister, I, I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach."
??As soon as Su Ying put down her chopsticks, she saw Queque clutching her belly, her small face wrinkled.
?? "Did you eat too much greasy these two days, why is your stomach upset again? Let's go, my sister will take you to the latrine first." Su Ying called the waiter to pay the bill and took Que Que to the backyard of the restaurant.
?? Queque hurried to the hut.
?? At this time, the sky has darkened.
??Su Ying was bored waiting, when she heard footsteps coming towards her.
?? In a blink of an eye, she saw two men driving a woman to her.
Su Ying stood by the side of the hut and waited. Next to this hut was a firewood shed. There was a gap in the middle for one person to stand. She was standing in this place, and it was dark again. If she didn't pay attention, she wouldn't Someone noticed her.
?? "Is anyone outside here?"
?? "It's not here yet, wait a little longer, it's easy to be discovered by going out like this."
?? "This group of idiots who are not good at doing things, hurry up and come here for a while, people are about to wake up, something went wrong, they have good fruit to eat!"
??Su Ying turned her body slightly, she was slender, so standing against the wall and almost blending into the night, it was even more difficult to be spotted.
??From her perspective, she could see that the two men were supporting a young woman. As far as the woman was dressed, she was either rich or expensive.
??Two men **** a woman, no need to think about it, knowing that nothing good will happen.
??In a strange atmosphere, Que Que suddenly pushed open the door of the hut and came out.
?? "Sister, I'm fine."
??The bird's voice instantly attracted the two people to look at him.
??Su Ying clearly saw a killing intent in their eyes.
?? But before they could move, Su Ying quietly walked out from the corner, "My sister is here."
??The two of them didn't expect that there were people in the corner. Given the distance between them, Su Ying must have heard what they said just now.
??One of them winked at the other, and that person let go of the woman in his hand and walked towards Su Ying and the others.
??Su Ying raised her eyebrows slowly, "Actually, you can leave now."
??The man's face became even uglier. His words made him feel that Su Ying was begging for mercy.
??He sneered, "It's your bad luck, you saw something you shouldn't have seen!"
??The man suddenly shot at Su Ying, but before his outstretched hand touched Su Ying, Su Ying knocked him unconscious with a slap on the ear.
??The other man was about to leave with the woman on his back, but Su Ying grabbed the wood beside her and knocked her unconscious.
??The woman also fell to the ground.
??Su Ying walked over and glanced at the woman. Just as she was about to stand up, she was grabbed by the corner of her skirt, "Save me...a thousand taels of money."
