Zhu Qingsheng took out the macaroni talisman from his arms, and saw that it was still in his hand, and he couldn't help but sigh. He didn't know where he was now, and this macaroni talisman might have lost its effect. If the master had some reason to smash one of his pictures and could not receive them, wouldn't it be a waste of time?

But it was useless to be anxious about this kind of thing. Zhu Qingsheng simply stopped thinking about it, put the talisman in his arms, touched the letter of invitation still, stood up, identified the direction according to the sun, and walked around the foot of the mountain to the east.

In less than half an hour, he met a village in a place surrounded by rivers. Zhu Qingsheng walked over and found that his clothes were torn and in a mess. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a real little beggar. Seeing that his appearance was really indecent, he went to several nearby families to ask for some old clothes.

When the previous families saw him in this way, they were very disgusted. They saw him through the crack in the door and stopped opening the door. Only a woman felt pity when she saw him in a embarrassed look. In addition to looking closely, she saw three long scars on his back and thought he was attacked by wild beasts like tigers. She was even more sad. She gave him an old coat from her husband and stuffed him some dry buns.

Zhu Qingsheng had already eaten three and a half-cooked fish before, but when he saw the woman was kind, he was embarrassed to refuse, so he took off the old coat and a few dry buns, said thanking him a few times before turning around and leaving.

Zhu Qingsheng put this coat on his body, which was very fat and dissatisfied, but he could only make it this way. A hunched one-armed old man suddenly appeared in his mind. Just a few days ago, the old man asked him for money in a more humble manner. When he thought of the old man, Zhu Qingsheng suddenly became nervous. He wondered if the old man with a suona on his waist was the person he was looking for.

He walked along the way and heard what passers-by talked about. Most of the time two days ago, the town suddenly collapsed on the night of two days ago. Some said it was the furious God, some said it was the cause of monsters, and some even said that it was afraid that some treasure would be born, so there was such a strange phenomenon.

Zhu Qingsheng's personal experience was understood, and he naturally understood the real experience. Seeing that passers-by were talking more and more evil, he was too lazy to explain. But he didn't expect that he had been sleeping for two days and two nights. No wonder the scars behind him were so thick.

Thinking that three days had passed since the date set by the master and seven days were left, I couldn't help but feel a little anxious. There were still six days left after today. Fortunately, the sunny parasol flew right and did not take him west.

I saw a small city ahead from afar. Zhu Qingsheng felt joyful. There were plenty of water in the south and there were always many boats. As long as he found out where Jiujiang City was and asked a fisherman or merchant who would take him along the way, everything would be much easier.

Zhu Qingsheng walked into the city and saw a lot of shops. He took a quick look and knew all about silk, noodle, cotton, and horses, which were no less than Jiujiang City. As soon as he found an old man to ask for directions, he was stopped by a beggar who was dressed in a more miserable and thinner and stopped him.

Zhu Qingsheng was stunned and asked, "What's wrong?"

The little beggar snorted and suddenly pretended to be fierce: "I said you, you are the newcomer, and you don't know how to pay the newcomer protection fee."

"Newcomer protection fee, what is that?" Zhu Qingsheng said strangely.

The little beggar seemed extremely angry: "You are pretending to be garlic, and you don't even look at whose territory this is. The newcomer is here and you can only be able to survive after paying the protection fee. Do you understand?"

Zhu Qingsheng couldn't understand it even more. When he looked down at his embarrassed appearance, he suddenly realized that this little beggar must have regarded himself as a newcomer, no wonder he had to pay any protection fee.

Zhu Qingsheng said: "You may have misunderstood, but I actually..."

The little beggar Hua Dawei was angry and pointed at Zhu Qingsheng and said, "You don't ask around here. Who is here to pay Mei Shi but it's hard to pay me? Do you think you just want to hide like this."

Zhu Qingsheng smiled bitterly and said, "I am really not a person here. Can I leave now?"

Mei Shinan became even more angry. The dirty face was a little more angry and said, "I don't care whether you are a person here or not. As long as you come in, you have to pay the protection fee. I don't know..." Halfway through, Mei Shinan seemed to smell something, and suddenly took his nose forward and sniffed it, looking even more angry. He said viciously: "Okay, you kid, you still ate fish wherever you eat. Tell me where you eat it. You'll be exempted from the money." At the end, Mei Shinan couldn't help swallowing.

Zhu Qingsheng had no choice but to say, "You go out of this city gate and walk west, and you will eat fish when you see a small river."

"Okay, I'm now..." Mei Shinan nodded happily when she heard this, and took two steps. Suddenly realizing that something was wrong, she turned around and said angrily: "Who are you fooling about? The fish there are alive, can you eat it?"

Zhu Qingsheng said awkwardly: "I just ate fish there, I will never lie to you."

Mei Shinan seemed extremely angry and pushed him hard into his chest. He felt his chest soft. In a daze, his face turned red and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know you are..." Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhu Qingsheng's actions and immediately felt a basin of cold water poured down.

Zhu Qingsheng picked up the dry steamed bun that was pushed out by Mei Shinan. Seeing that he looked strange, he said strangely: "What am I? What's wrong?"

Mei Shi looked at the dry steamed bun and felt extremely disappointed and uncomfortable. She felt as if she had been deceived. She was so angry that she snatched the dry steamed bun and left.

Zhu Qingsheng was puzzled, but he didn't think much about it. The dry bun was originally given by someone else, and it was nothing to be snatched away by the little beggar of Mei Shidao. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a dozen constables suddenly rushed out of the street and surrounded him and Mei Shidao.

Because of the arrest of the master, Zhu Qingsheng had no good feelings for these constables, not to mention that they suddenly surrounded him and said nothing to them.

Mei Shinan seemed very nervous and smiled and said, "Several officials, I don't know what you are here to do. I am an innocent person."

A detective said coldly: "Everyone is innocent, we have to wait until we search for it before we can find out. Search for me."

The two constables were so fast that they immediately stepped out and reached out to Zhu Qingsheng and Mei Shishidao to touch him.

Zhu Qingsheng was so confused and angry by their actions that they didn't know why they suddenly came to search for themselves. He jumped back and said, "I said why do you want to search us?"

With a "snap", a steel knife was unsheathed. The detective holding the knife couldn't help but said angrily: "Just this!"
