What if I haven't seen Siheyuan?

Chapter 161 Big Deception

After going home.

Yan Xiaoyao sat leisurely on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and savored the Chinese fast food he had just had.

He couldn't help but touch his nose, muttering silently: Oh my God... It seems that Yu Li was right. There really is no meat to eat tonight.

However, when he thought of the Chinese fast food he had just had at Xu Damao's house, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

"Ha ha……

I didn’t expect Lou Xiao’e to be so gifted! Not only does she understand things immediately, but she also knows how to draw inferences from one example. The hand-pulled pancakes and hamburgers I just made are so delicious!”

Thinking of this, Yan Xiaoyao's eyes sparkled with excitement.

I secretly planned in my heart that next time when I eat the goose stewed in an iron pot, I must ask Lou Xiao'e to give me some pancakes and hamburgers to whet my appetite first.

Just thinking about that scene made him full of anticipation.

"Alas... Never mind. I can't think about it anymore."

Yan Xiaoyao shook his head, trying to get rid of those tempting food images from his mind. If he continued to think about it, he would be hungry again, and he would have to hold it in, which would not be pleasant.

After all, this era is different from the later generations. If you go out late at night, there is no place to find a midnight snack. It is estimated that only a genius like Xu Damao can find a place for midnight snack in this vast night.

However, even if Yan Xiaoyao knew where to get midnight snacks, he would not want to go out. Otherwise, who knows what kind of technology and hard work these fast food restaurants have. If he gets infected with some messy stuff, it would be a pity.

Relatively speaking, he still prefers to eat home-cooked meals, which are clean and hygienic, and he feels more assured when eating them. Moreover, these home-cooked meals also know Yan Xiaoyao's preferences, so they taste more comfortable.

After smoking two cigarettes in the living room, Yan Xiaoyao got up, picked up Xiao Hei, and slowly walked towards the bedroom, ready to go to bed.

After lying in bed for a while.

Yan Xiaoyao was almost asleep when he suddenly opened his eyes: "Fuck... I was wondering why I seemed to have forgotten something! I actually forgot to sign in today."

So, he half leaned against the head of the bed, opened the system interface, and prepared to start today's sign-in.

Then, he raised the index finger of his right hand, muttering: "Brother, we don't have any holy water to bless you today, you must not let me down! Come on, Oli Ge..."

After saying that, he pressed hard on the sign-in button.

【Ding... Sign in successfully.】

[Congratulations to the host for receiving the following rewards: 10 old-fashioned steamed buns, 10 catties of Chinese cabbage, and 1 Big Black Ten.]

Yan Xiaoyao stared at today's sign-in reward, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

He raised his right hand, slapped it hard, and said, "You unlucky thing, you are such a loser. Without the holy water to bless you, you will wilt immediately."

......

If I had known the unblessed rewards would be so lame, I should have waited until tomorrow to go to the factory and borrow some holy water from Liu Lan before signing in.

Alas, forget it.

Next time you sign in, you must prepare some holy water and bless it properly, otherwise the reward gap is too big.

Yan Xiaoyao frowned and shook his head helplessly, quite disappointed with today's reward.

Then, with a depressed look on his face, he covered his head with the quilt and went to sleep.

the next day.

Early in the morning, when it was still gray outside, Yan Bugui quietly opened the gate of the courtyard and slipped out, preparing to go to Blind Zhang's house to talk to him about fortune-telling.

Along the way, Yan Bugui acted like a thief, stopping from time to time and looking around, fearing that he would be spotted by others.

The current inspections were too strict, and seeing someone tell fortunes was a feudal superstition, so Yan Bugui had no choice but to be cautious. If he was caught, criticism and self-criticism would be a small matter, but Yan Bugui was afraid that he would lose his job if he was not careful.

After the excitement last night, Yan Bugui regretted it when he lay in bed.

He secretly cursed himself for being so useless, forgetting everything when he saw money, and actually daring to agree to take the lead in finding a fortune teller. Thinking of this, Yan Bugui couldn't help but slap himself lightly on the face.

He was still muttering, "Yan Bugui, ah Yan Bugui. Do you think you are so bold? You dare to make any money. You dare to get involved in such a dangerous matter. Aren't you afraid of being reported?"

After walking for a long time in fear, Yan Bugui finally arrived near a large courtyard.

After standing at a distance and looking around for a while, he found that the yard was still dark, then he sneaked to the window of Blind Zhang's house.

He knocked on the window twice and called softly, "Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang. Open the door quickly. I have something to talk to you about."

After shouting, Yan Bugui looked around fearfully, fearing that others would hear him.

Blind Zhang makes a living from this, and he knows that the inspections are very strict now. Customers don't dare to come to his store during the day, and usually only come at night.

Therefore, Blind Zhang's service is also very considerate. Seeing that customers usually come at night, he also changed his work and rest time. Now he usually sleeps during the day and sits in the house at night, waiting for customers to come.

As soon as he heard Yan Bugui's voice, Blind Zhang ran over, opened the door, and let Yan Bugui in without even having time to turn on the light.

Only after Yan Bugui entered the house did he breathe a sigh of relief.

However, seeing that Blind Zhang's house was dark, he immediately complained: "I say, Old Zhang, people say I'm a calculating person, but how come you're more frugal than me! There are guests here, but you don't even want to turn on a light."

At this time, Blind Zhang just lit the kerosene lamp.

Blind Zhang calmly extinguished the match in his hand, then said slowly:

"You know nothing, wasn't I afraid that you would be seen by others?

Besides, you know that people in our line of work are like rats crossing the street, and everyone wants to kill them. How can we be careless?"

After saying this, he glanced at Yan Bugui as if he was looking at a fool.

When Yan Bugui saw this look, he immediately became angry and his face turned red. He complained loudly: "Blind Zhang, what's with your attitude? I came here today to take care of your business, you'd better be careful." He even forgot that what he was doing was a shameful business.

When Blind Zhang saw Yan Bugui shouting and screaming, he was frightened and rushed forward to cover Yan Bugui's mouth.

He lowered his voice and scolded: "Bitch...are you crazy? If you want to go on a parade, you can speak louder."

At this time, Yan Bugui also came to his senses and broke out in a cold sweat.

Seeing this, Blind Zhang let him go.

He hurriedly urged, "Come on, since you came to see me so secretly, you must have encountered something unusual, right? If you have anything to say, say it quickly, and leave quickly after you finish speaking. Otherwise, in a while, the people in the yard will get up to empty the chamber pot."

Seeing this, Yan Bugui didn't dare to talk anymore. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said immediately, "There has been some unrest in our yard recently. Several people have had accidents one after another. So, I'm planning to ask you to come over and take a look, and help with some rituals to get rid of the bad luck."

When Blind Zhang heard this, he was immediately happy.

I thought: Hey, this is a good job! I like this. When the time comes, I can just go over and say a few words, and I can easily earn a few dollars and live a few more days.

However, this thing is just like someone opening a lock. The faster you open it, the less willing they are to pay.

Blind Zhang pinched his hands, gestured for a while, and said with an embarrassed look: "Old Yan, what you said is not easy to deal with! I just calculated that your courtyard is in conflict with the Tai Sui, so there are always accidents."

When Yan Bugui heard this, he was immediately stunned.
