Through the Window: Lin Luoxue's Lazy Cousin

Page 292

"Forget it, let's not talk about her."

Xiao Haiyang led everyone to a crossroads and enthusiastically introduced, "To our due east is our destination, Temple Street."

"Although there are more insects than tourists and more tourists than monks there, the price of a consecrated Buddhist bead is 5,000, and an unconsecrated one starts at 100."

"Do you want us to go, or do you not want us to go?" Yu Hao asked, his expression suggesting he had seen right through Xiao Haiyang.

"Hehe, of course I want you guys to go." Xiao Haiyang looked in the direction of Temple Street and sighed, "If San'er were here, I feel that if he set up a stall there, he could probably earn a lot in a day."

Lin Luoxue shielded her eyes from the sun with her hand, looking at Temple Street ahead.

Feeling pretty good, I asked, "Are there any other attractions?"

"There's a lotus pond to the west, and a zoo to the north." Xiao Haiyang emphasized the south side: "Everyone, please look south as I dance!"

"This is an internet cafe, a place of joy for all men, a place that holds the childhood dreams of countless people, it is..."

"Wait, wait, wait!!" Yu Hao quickly stepped forward, blocking Xiao Haiyang's view: "You're not going to tell me you're planning to take us to an internet cafe, are you?"

"Do you want me to scratch you to death, Hao-ge?"

"Hehe, of course not, of course not." Xiao Haiyang quickly changed his tune: "However, if we go to Temple Street, we need to be careful of a certain type of people."

Lin Luoxue: "Who is it?"

Xiao Haiyang feigned mystery: "A destined person~"

...

This place is called Dongbei.

To say it's superstition

There are indeed quite a few superstitious things, such as the five immortals: fox, weasel, white fox, willow, and gray fox.

In Dongbei, many people go to make offerings.

However, those are all in some mountainous areas; in cities, there are mostly temples of various sizes.

Even though it's summer.

But there were still quite a few people on this temple street.

only.

There are more people setting up stalls than shopping.

As soon as Su Chen and his group of five appeared on Temple Street, they felt themselves being stared at by countless eyes.

Yu Hao was even more sensitive.

She hid directly behind Xiao Haiyang.

"Didn't you say there are no ghosts in broad daylight? Why do I feel like I'm being watched by something terrifying?"

"Don't worry, Brother Hao, it's not ghosts targeting you." Su Chen looked at the vendors on both sides: "It's a group of hunters."

"Su Chen's analogy is very accurate. Locals usually only come here once a year during holidays."

"Normally, people who come here are either passing by or tourists."

"And we became highly sought-after in their eyes."

Xiao Haiyang has lived here for over a decade, so he is naturally very familiar with these things.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have explained the prices here in such detail.

"But don't worry, as long as you don't buy anything, there's nothing they can do..."

"Come and see! Come and see! These bracelets are so beautiful!" Yu Hao had somehow run to the stall next door and was shouting at the jewelry on display.

Xiao Haiyang slapped his forehead, realizing he had forgotten about this guy.

They walked over so excitedly to show their desire to buy.

Isn't this just asking to be ripped off?

resignedly.

The group quickly followed, otherwise Yu Hao would definitely be completely ripped off by these people.

Xiao Haiyang pretended to go forward to look, then leaned close to Yu Hao's ear and said, "Brother Hao, if you get this excited, you'll get ripped off!"

"Ah? Really?"

“But it’s so beautiful!” Yu Hao picked up the bracelet.

Su Chen looked at it and saw that the bracelet was made of stones of various textures.

All of them were polished into the same shape.

They were tied together and sold as a bracelet.

Although the stones on top are worthless, they do look quite nice tied together.

Lin Luoxue and Roes both fell in love with the bracelet after just one glance.

However, they knew the ways of doing business here.

The more I want to buy.

The less you show it, the more likely you are to get taken advantage of.

Su Chen observed and noted down the expressions on their faces.

“This young man has excellent taste. This is our family heirloom agate and jade necklace, which has been specially blessed in a temple.”

"It can protect you and change your luck, it's very powerful. I didn't originally want to sell it, but seeing you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Su Chen put the bracelet back.

"Since you don't want to sell, we won't take what you want. Farewell!"

Stall owner: ? ? ?

146: Fortune telling costs fifty, marriage costs one hundred, what are you anyway? (Thanks for subscribing)

Yu Hao didn't want to leave, but Su Chen pulled him away.

The group got up and prepared to leave.

The stall owner was stunned. He had seen people play hard to get before, but he had never seen anyone leave so decisively.

"Hey, young man, don't rush off, let's chat some more."

Without turning his head, Su Chen said directly, "Since this is your family heirloom, we won't take it from you. You can keep it and play with it yourself."

"I haven't even given you a price yet, why don't you listen to my offer? Maybe you'll just buy it then?"

Su Chen waved his hand: "See you later."

After they walked a distance, Yu Hao looked at Su Chen with some complaint: "Why were you in such a hurry? Didn't he say we could negotiate the price?"

"Brother Hao, don't worry." Su Chen pointed to the street: "Look, in the middle of summer, there are hardly any people on the street. He definitely won't be able to sell these things."

"We can go into the temple to burn incense first, and then buy it later."

"Yeah, Hao-ge, who buys things in such a hurry as you?"

"Isn't this blatantly telling everyone that I'm a sucker?" Xiao Haiyang was ostensibly talking about Yu Hao, but he was actually talking about himself as well.

These words contained more than just blame.

There is also some experience and lessons learned from those who came before.

...

The group hadn't taken more than a few steps.

He was blocked by a man who looked like a monk.

He was dressed in a gray-white robe and holding a wooden stick, looking like a traveling monk.

But he was holding a cloth bag in his other hand.

There were many red ropes inside.

Everyone could tell at a glance that this was the 'destined person' Xiao Haiyang had mentioned.

really.

The monk's first words upon entering were: "Benefactors, you are destined to be with Buddha."

"I'll get a Buddha amulet for peace; it's only ten yuan and it can protect you."

Xiao Haiyang refused outright: "Sorry, we have something to do and are in a hurry to leave."

"Don't rush, haste makes waste." The monk had been waiting for a long time, and now that he had finally encountered a few students, how could he let them go?

Su Chen thought for a moment, then took out four calming talismans from his spatial storage: "Since we are destined to meet, how about this, I'll use these talismans I have to return the peace Buddhas in your pockets, how about that?"

Monk: ? ? ?

Xiao Haiyang: ? ? ?
