Qin He became interested and walked into the grocery store.
Bai He has now transformed into a middle-aged man, tall, neither fat nor thin, with a gentle face. He also wears reading glasses, which are from Nanyang.
"What would you like to order, sir?" The shopkeeper Baihe greeted him with a smile.
Qin He took a casual look and found that the grocery store here was not big, but the items sold were quite complete, including food, clothing and daily necessities. There were also dried fruits such as melon seeds and peanuts on the shelves.
"How much are these melon seeds?" Qin He asked.
"The flavored ones are twenty cents per pound, and the unflavored ones are thirteen cents." Shopkeeper Baihe walked out from behind the counter.
"Okay, give me 200 kilograms of flavored ones." Qin He was still as generous as ever, and he had no shortage of money.
Shopkeeper Baihe was stunned for a moment and asked, "Two hundred kilograms, sir, are you buying some goods?"
"I take it myself." Qin He shook his head.
"Sir, you really know how to joke. You can eat 200 kilograms by yourself?" Shopkeeper Baihe adjusted his reading glasses, looking incredulous.
"Just tell me if you have."
"Yes, but sir, please think carefully. If you can't finish the melon seeds this winter, they will be in season next year. For ordinary people, buying ten or eight kilograms is considered a lot." Shopkeeper Baihe said seriously.
"You don't have to worry about that."
"Okay, two hundred kilograms of melon seeds. I'll get them for you right away."
Shopkeeper Baihe responded, and soon brought out two sacks from the back and started weighing them.
"What's your name, boss?" Qin He asked casually while sitting aside.
"No need to worry about your surname being He."
"The crane of Baihe?"
"How did you know this, sir? When people say my last name, many people think it means He, the same as Helan Mountain." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
"I'm just guessing. Your accent sounds like you're from Fang County?"
"Sir, are you also from Fang County?"
"Not really. I went there once a while ago. It was terrible. A lot of people died of the plague."
"The world is bad, and everything is in chaos."
White Crane Palm shook his head and continued, "But I heard that a Green Ox Immortal appeared, killed the bat demon, and created a 'Plague-Removing Well' to save the people of Fang County. Now the news has spread all over the capital. His merits are immeasurable."
"Yeah, I also think that the Green Ox Immortal is pretty awesome." Qin He smiled.
"When you are rich, you should help the world; when you are poor, you should take care of yourself. The Great Immortal Qingniu has great magical powers and has achieved it." The shopkeeper Baihe said with a smile, very talkative.
"The shopkeeper also knows this logic." A strange look flashed in Qin He's eyes.
"I just heard the storyteller say that. Sorry for the rude performance." Shopkeeper Baihe smiled and waved his hands.
Qin He shook his head and said, "The righteous path of the world is ever-changing. It's easy to say that we should benefit the world, but when we actually do it, I'm afraid it won't change the world and people's hearts, right? Prosperous times and turbulent times are ultimately a cycle. Many sages throughout history have failed to change this. Regardless of prosperity or decline, the people suffer."
"Well, sir, the knowledge you are talking about is very profound. I am just a grocery seller and cannot answer it." The shopkeeper Baihe shook his head and waved his hands.
"Then who can answer it?" Qin He asked.
"The old man in the north of the city is well-educated and should be able to answer," said the shopkeeper Baihe. He patted two sacks and said, "I have weighed the 200 kilograms of melon seeds you requested. Would you like to take a look?"
"no need."
Qin He stood up, handed over the silver, picked up the sack and left.
Shopkeeper Bai He looked at Qin He's back, adjusted his glasses, and muttered, "Why does this guy seem a little strange?"
"Boss, give me a hatchet."
Just then, someone else came into the store.
"Hey, that's good."
Shopkeeper Baihe hurriedly turned around to greet them.
Qin He left the grocery store, walked to an empty spot, put the sack into the space under his armpit, and continued strolling around while cracking melon seeds.
After a while, we arrived at the vegetable market.
The art of observing qi is swept away, and the art of identifying evil spirits is thrown away.
At the corner of the wall in front of the vegetable market, a big yellow hedgehog was picking vegetable leaves with its head down. Its movements were very slow and careful. In front of it were several piles of freshly picked vegetables and radishes neatly arranged, looking fresh and juicy.
Qin He grinned and walked over and said, "Grandma Huang, how much are the radishes?"
The big hedgehog slowly raised his head and saw Qin He. A smile spread across his wrinkled face: "Young Master, you are here to buy vegetables again."
……
The nights in late autumn always get dark very early, and the darkness has not yet completely fallen.
At the dock of the Dongcheng Caohe Gang, bursts of exclamations were heard.
"Ghost! There's a ghost!!"
The Caohe Gang ran around shouting.
A large group of people stepped back in fear, looking at the bearded man in the center of the crowd with horror.
At this moment, there was clearly a pair of feet stepping on the bearded man's shoulders.
A pair of bloody feet wearing embroidered shoes!
Above the feet was a dark shadow, more than one meter tall, with red pupils appearing and disappearing from time to time.
The bearded man stood there as if unable to move, his eyes wide open with fear.
"A man carrying a ghost, this is a man carrying a ghost!"
The members of the Caohe Gang were so frightened that their faces turned pale. Even the leader of the Caohe Gang, Cao Tianhe, felt a chill down his spine.
The Caohe Gang is not afraid of people. Strength lies in numbers, and they dare to fight anyone.
But when faced with monsters or supernatural events, they are powerless.
Especially for supernatural events, it is necessary to go through the East City Military Department and then ask the Feiyu Guards or someone who specializes in this matter to come and handle it.
If you are not careful, many people will be implicated, which is more terrifying than zombies attacking people.
"Where did Flower Beard get this thing?" Cao Tianhe's face was as ugly as it could be. He had internal energy, but it was only effective in resisting ghosts. To deal with ghosts, he had to use some magic, but he didn't know how to do it. This was something he had to learn by becoming a disciple.
"I don't know, he was fine this morning," someone answered.
"Where did he go today?" asked an old gang leader.
"The boss has been at the dock all day and had a fight with someone this morning." One of Flower Beard's men said fearfully.
"You bastard, you're always causing trouble for me."
Cao Tianhe gritted his teeth, Hua Huzi was indeed good at fighting and charging, but this man was too ruthless, killing people every few days, and also made a lot of unnecessary enemies for the Caohe Gang.
"Boss, let's retreat. I feel there are more than just this thing nearby. There may be others." At this time, the old gang leader reminded Cao Tianhe with a pale face.
As if to confirm his words, as soon as he finished speaking, a cold wind suddenly blew up, and pairs of red eyes lit up in the shadows nearby, with the shadows of fangs and ghost claws appearing.
When the Caohe Gang saw what was happening, they could no longer hold back and immediately scattered like wild beasts.
Cao Tianhe's face was no longer pale.
My goodness, this is more than just a ghost camel, it is clearly full of ghosts. Has Flower Beard brought a nest of ghosts here?
"Quick, report to Feiyuwei." Cao Tianhe shouted.
