Chapter 129: Wong Tai Sin: Double Kill (8)
No useful clues were found, so the only thing we can do now is to sit back and wait.
It's a rare opportunity for Hu Dali to go to the city, so it's impossible for him to stay at home all the time.
This tiny place is not even as big as his own kitchen, it’s so stuffy.
[Master, let's go out and buy some fried chicken?! ]
[Squeak——]
You are the right one, that's exactly what I meant!
When the two of them went out, the corridor was still pitch black. The bags of garbage they saw when they passed by last night were gone. It was not known whether it was because the cleaning staff was doing their job conscientiously or because the residents were self-conscious.
After all, there is no more unpleasant smell.
[Given this environment, Guizhi said the rent would be 2,500 yuan a month. Why don’t I believe it?! ]
Just then someone opened the door and heard the old man muttering, and added something disapprovingly.
[Two thousand five, that's for a long-term lease of more than three years, right?! My apartment costs three thousand two hundred for a year, old man, this is an international metropolis...]
The young man was wearing all branded clothes. He hurriedly kicked the kitten that insisted on following him out back into the door before closing it.
He looked up and down at the old man's thin back and didn't think much of the Chinese short jacket he was wearing.
[Squeak——]
Three thousand five?! Money grabbing!
In broad daylight, the neighborhood was quite deserted, with few people to be seen.
The transportation nearby is convenient and well-connected. Office buildings and factories are not far away, and there are direct buses and subways to the area.
Hu Dali let the immortal change his positions on his neck, sometimes sitting on his shoulders, sometimes hanging on the back of his neck with his head and tail hanging down.
The sun was a little hot. Hu Dali held a bucket of chicken wings and fed Daxian one from time to time. Before they knew it, they had strolled to the Martyrs' Cemetery.
There was a fortune teller at the gate. The fortune teller wore sunglasses and pretended to be blind. He held an old lady's hand and spoke while shaking his head, causing people around him to nod in agreement.
[Squeak——]
Wow, there are colleagues here, old man, do you want to challenge me? !
Hu Dali also felt like trying something new. He loved gossip, so he quietly approached the crowd.
[Big sister, your second daughter-in-law is definitely giving birth to a boy. The lines on your palm indicate that you will have many children and grandchildren and enjoy a happy old age. However...]
The fortune teller's turn of phrase caused all those who were whispering to stop talking and look over.
【But what? ! 】
The old lady was originally in a good mood, but when she heard the word "but", she became worried.
The fortune teller pinched the tuft of goatee on his chin and glanced at the payment code on the table.
The meaning is obvious. If you want to know the details, please give me a reward first!
The onlookers burst into laughter. This fortune teller is a money-grubber. If you don't give him money, he won't say a word!
The old lady was a tourist from another place. She was a devout believer in gods and Buddhas. The fortune teller had predicted that her second daughter-in-law was about to give birth and what she was thinking, which had whetted her appetite.
She took out her cell phone and scanned the code. Without her husband asking, she directly transferred 180 yuan. She had completely forgotten about the haggling she usually did when buying groceries.
Hu Dali couldn't see the old lady's face from where he was standing. Considering his advanced age of 87, this old lady could be considered a young girl at best.
[Big sister, you are too polite. In our line of work, we cannot casually reveal secrets. As the saying goes, if you take money from people, you should help them get rid of their misfortunes. I will definitely help you with this. Please come closer. No one else can hear what I am about to say! ]
The fortune teller spoke mysteriously, ignoring the curious looks of the onlookers, and motioned for the old lady to put her ear closer.
[What's the matter? It's just a baby. What's there to brag about?! ]
There are always those curious people who grumble in dissatisfaction.
This man happened to be standing next to Hu Dali. He couldn't see the excitement and was about to leave. He turned his head and saw a furry golden face. He was so scared that his face turned pale.
【Fox, fox, fox, fox… fox! 】
[Squeak——]
Bah, you are the fox, your whole family are foxes!
Hu Dali was intrigued and squeezed out of the crowd, preparing to go around to the other side to take a look at the woman's face. He inadvertently discovered a young man with shifty eyes pickpocketing.
My goodness! The blade between the young man's fingers was flashing with cold light. He was very alert and looked up and glared at me at the first moment.
His eyes were fierce, as if to say, "If you dare to meddle in other people's business, be careful and I'll give you a knife!"
Hu Dali was not the kind of person who would accept threats for nothing. He grabbed the man's arm whose pocket was cut, pretended to be unsteady, and staggered back a few steps.
[Hey uncle, I didn't push you, you pulled me, it's not okay to scam people in front of the Martyrs' Cemetery! Everyone, bear witness for me, I don't have any money! ]
[Squeak——]
Good intentions don't get good rewards, old man! We have been good people for nothing!
The little thief ran away with the meat that was about to come to his mouth. Hu Dali was so angry that his teeth were itching. He glared at him fiercely, remembered his face, and turned around and ran away.
[Fuck, you have evil intentions, and you dare to glare at me! ]
Hu Dali was still holding the victim's arm. He noticed the resentful look in the thief's eyes before he left, and felt angry.
[If I don't help you, you'll be robbed, you idiot! ]
Following Hu Dali's finger, the man looked down at his sun-protection jacket. The thin layer of fabric had already been torn into a big hole, and the Apple phone inside was about to fall to the ground.
[Oh my god, who tore my clothes? ! ]
The onlookers were also attracted and someone took over the conversation.
[Who else could it be? A thief! This old man is so old, and he helped you, but you didn't thank him properly, and you even accused him of scamming you. You have no moral integrity!]
The man was so embarrassed that his face turned red, and he quickly bowed to Hu Dali to thank him.
[I'm sorry, sir, thank you! It's all my fault for not understanding the situation. Thank you so much! All my wealth is in my phone. If it was really lost, I would cry to death (?_?) ]
Hu Dali waved his hands impatiently, and the unhappiness in his heart disappeared. He was old and had seen all kinds of people. The fortune teller was still the most interesting.
The fortune teller had already sent the old lady away. Hu Dali never saw the old lady's face from beginning to end, so he couldn't be sure whether what his colleague who pretended to be blind said was right.
[Squeak——]
Old man, why don't you ask him to give it to you as well? !
That's great!
Hu Dali took the opportunity and sat directly on the stool in front of the fortune teller.
The crowd around who were about to disperse when they saw there was nothing interesting to watch, stopped in their tracks when they saw customers coming.
【Sir, what do you want to be? 】
When the fortune teller looked up and saw the energetic old man in front of him, his heart was filled with joy. The divination he had read in the morning turned out to be correct, and his fortune today was indeed very good.
[Boy, can you see it?! ]
Hu Dali was deliberately joking.
[Squeak——]
I also jumped onto the old man's legs, grabbing the corner of the table with my two front paws. There was a bronze mirror on the table, and I didn't know what it was used for.
