C72 Inquiring

Ouyang Xiaotian changed into another shirt, took out a flint and burned the shirt that was hit by the poison needle. Only then did he continue to look for the location of the pair.    

    

"Ah!" "AHH!" "You should be more gentle, fool. It hurts …    

    

The voice of a woman came again. It was the voice of the woman he had just heard.    

    

Ouyang Xiaotian listened carefully. Yes, the voice came from the small red building on the west side of the Thousand Flower Garden.    

    

What should he do? Wait here? Or the woman's husband?    

    

Ouyang Xiaotian thought about it and decided to inquire about the family's situation.    

    

In the west district, not far from that little red house, there was a fruit vendor. He bought seven or eight Ice Fruits and then chatted with that peddler. Frost fruit was a fruit that was suitable for eating in the summer. After eating it, one would feel a refreshing and refreshing fragrance, as if they could prevent the temperature from dropping during the summer. Ouyang Xiaotian prepared to bring it back to Shui Qianyue and his mom for them to eat.    

    

The peddler was over 50 years old and was a woman with an aged face. It was obvious from one look that he was a character who liked to ask about other people's secrets.    

    

"Auntie, you've worked hard." Ouyang Xiaotian laughed.    

    

"Hard work? This is what I do. Even if it's hard work, there's nothing I can do. Unlike you youngsters, who can cultivate and do other things to earn money. If I don't do this, I'll have to drink the wind. " The peddler complained.    

    

"Back then, my damned husband was a warrior. Sigh, he was bitten to death by a Demonic Beast. Otherwise, if he is still alive, how would I have to suffer like this? "    

    

This peddler was clearly a person with many stories. If he let her continue speaking like this, then perhaps she wouldn't be able to finish speaking for three days and three nights.    

    

Ouyang Xiaotian expressed sympathy and understanding.    

    

He didn't want to hear any more nonsense, so he changed the subject and said, "Aunt, it looks like you've been doing business here for many years. You must be very familiar with the situation here."    

    

"Of course, I can call out the names of all the cats and dogs in this area." The peddler said in a flurry of discussion.    

    

"What about the people in this area?" Do you understand? "    

    

If it was just familiarity with the kittens and the puppies, that still wouldn't do.    

    

"I'm familiar with dogs and cats, so there's no need to talk about humans. I know almost everything about the habits and strengths of everyone here. " The peddler said.    

    

"You're great." Ouyang Xiaotian praised him as if he was praising a child.    

    

Ouyang Xiaotian intended to work harder and ask about the Little Red Chamber of Commerce. Unfortunately, at this time, a beautiful woman in her thirties came out of the Little Red Chamber with a bamboo basket in her hand. The pretty woman was painted and powdered, and she smelled of perfume wherever she went.    

    

A beautiful woman came to the peddler's place with the intention of buying a fruit of ice. She picked up more than a dozen Ice Fruits in one go.    

    

"Madam Lu, you bought so many Ice Fruits? "You want me to treat you?" The peddler casually asked.    

    

"Oh, yes, my cousin is here." Madam Lu said.    

    

She paid the bill and left with the basket of Ice Fruits.    

    

After Madam Lu had left, Ouyang Xiaotian asked again, "Aunt, you seem to be very familiar with this Madam Lu."    

    

"She? Of course. " The peddler said, and then, feeling that something was wrong, added, "I only know a few simple things. I don't know anything else."    

    

"Who's Lady Lu's husband?" Ouyang Xiaotian asked.    

    

The peddler looked at Ouyang Xiaotian and asked in alert, "This young man, you didn't return after buying the Ice Fruits, and kept asking around. Just what are you doing?"    

    

The way the peddler looked at her was as if Ouyang Xiaotian was a thief that could steal her Ice Fruit at any time.    

    

Ouyang Xiaotian smiled and took out a gold coin. With a light flick of his finger, he made a melodious sound. The peddler stared with wide eyes. For her to be able to earn a silver coin by selling fruits a day, it meant that she was truly capable. Gold coins were something of a legend to her.    

    

Ouyang Xiaotian held the gold coin tightly with his right index finger and thumb and said, "See that? I'm just a bit curious. Once I'm interested in something, I want to know immediately. I don't know, but my heart feels really bad. I won't be able to eat when I go back. "Hehe, auntie, you just need to tell me what you know. Hehe, this gold coin is yours."    

    

"Is, is this true?" the peddler asked excitedly.    

    

Heavens, one gold coin was enough for her to eat for a year. Perhaps, she could use this gold coin to rent a shop. From now on, she no longer had to endure the hardships of being exposed to the elements.    

    

"Really, aunt, do I look like one of those people who deceive others?" Ouyang Xiaotian smiled, looking like a harmless person.    

    

"Oh, yes, yes. You are a hero. You are a hero. You are a deity that descended from heaven." The peddler praised.    

    

The peddler muttered in his heart: "This kid seems to be a rich kid, a prodigal son." Hehe, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. If I praise him a little more, he might come up with more gold coins.    

    

Ouyang Xiaotian frowned and said: "Go ahead."    

    

Ouyang Xiaotian sneered in his heart: "What a typical philistine." Upon seeing the gold coin, he lost all sense of direction. I can't wait to pounce on you and call you my ancestor.    

    

Thus, the peddler introduced the situation of the family again.    

    

Through the introductions, Ouyang Xiaotian found out that Madam Lu's husband was surnamed Lu, Lu Cadi. He was in his fifties and a third-ranked apothecary. He was the vice president of the Apothecary Guild. A few years ago, she married a beautiful young lady named Kuai Yan.    

    

However, Lu Cadi did not seem happy. Their life as husband and wife did not seem to be satisfactory. Kuai Yan and one of her cousins were getting along a little bit frequently. Everyone was well aware of the situation, except for Lu Cadi, who was in the dark.    

    

Thus, the moment Lu Cadi left, her cousin walked in.    

    

Because Lu Cadi was a Tier 3 alchemist, he was extremely rich. Not only was there a small red house at home, there were also many jewellery, medicinal pills, martial skills, and Spirit Stone.    

    

However, it was really strange. Even though she was so rich, Kuai Yan did not like hiring more servants. There were only two maids and two male servants by her side.    

    

Perhaps she was afraid that the servant girl would ruin her good fortune? He even bought the fruits himself.    

    

Today, they probably let the male and female servants go, right?    

    

"Yes, very good." Ouyang Xiaotian said, "This gold coin is yours. Don't tell anyone about what I asked you, or I'll get my gold back. Did you hear that? "    

    

"Yes." The peddler quickly said.
