Chapter 916: Can’t eat and walk around
The brown sugar was about the size of an index finger's knuckle and stuck to the ground. If the waiter wanted to lick it, he had to bend down, kneel on the ground with his head pressed to the ground. He was in a very awkward position. The brown sugar was solid and did not melt. The waiter licked it for a long time, but there was no effect.
The tenants on the second floor all felt that it was unlucky and left early. Only Li Changxiao watched quietly. He saw that the black sugar was as black as dried blood. Apart from the unpleasant smell and the difficulty in licking it, there seemed to be nothing special about it. He didn't know why everyone was so scared.
Then I remembered that among the crowd just now, there seemed to be very few people who looked normal. The waiter last night was skinny, pale, and had long, thin nails. And they were growing wildly. It must be those wildly growing nails that took away a lot of his vitality. That's why he was so skinny.
The waiter during the day was short and bald, looking normal at first glance. Although ugly, he was not completely abnormal. But a closer look revealed that he was submissive and would obey orders from others. When he was beaten, he was crying but seemed to be laughing. There were several bruises on his right arm, but at this moment, he used his left hand to dig into the bruises with his nails, causing blood to flow.
Li Changxiao asked, "What will happen if you don't lick this brown sugar?" The waiter looked up and said, "I will feel unhappy."
……
Li Changxiao couldn't really figure out what these people were thinking and doing. It seemed that his logic was totally different from that of the world. There were many things that he thought were not important, but the world had to do them. Things that he thought were very important, were not important to the world at all.
But he had already seen one thing. People in this world seem to worship immortals and Taoists. That lame old Taoist has no skills at all. From the way he beat people just now, it can be seen that this person has no strength in his hands and has no martial arts skills at all. That brown sugar is just a toy to fool people.
But no one questioned it. Li Changxiao paid the room fee and walked out of the inn. He walked towards the nearest big city, thinking that there should be normal people in the big city. He would find a normal person and ask what time it was now.
You can't go far.
I unexpectedly bumped into the lame old Taoist again. The old Taoist was resting on a boulder. His Taoist robe was torn open, exposing his chest, and he was lying on the boulder with his back leaning back. Because of his lameness, he walked not slowly, but not fast either, and he got tired after walking for a while. Although Li Changxiao started late, he walked very fast and his body was light and agile. Naturally, he caught up quickly.
When the old Taoist heard the footsteps, he immediately cursed, "You bastard! You are following me!" He picked up a stone and threw it at Li Changxiao. However, the stone was too weak and fell to the ground three feet in front of him.
Li Changxiao told the Taoist priest that he just happened to pass by. The Taoist priest had long disliked Li Changxiao. Last night, when he entered the inn, the waiter was very respectful to him. This strange-looking man, who was neither salty nor indifferent, dared to ignore him. At this moment, he was angry and didn't care too much. He pointed at Li Changxiao and cursed him, while cursing, he put on his shoes and hit him with his fists.
But he was very slow in punching and had little strength. How could he hurt Li Changxiao? Even if he punched more than a hundred times, it would not be as painful as a mosquito bite. But Li Changxiao saw that his hands were dirty and felt disgusted. He gently moved to the side to avoid him and hid.
The old Taoist uttered two "Yo-ha" sounds, as if the dodging aroused his ferocity. He rolled up his sleeves and beat Li Changxiao up like a waiter. He said, "You can't hide!" and rushed over.
Li Changxiao gently turned sideways again, but he dodged again. This time, the old Taoist was furious: "I told you not to hide, didn't you hear me?" He was so angry that his face turned red and he hit him again.
He threw four or five punches, but he didn't even touch the corner of Li Changxiao's clothes. Instead, he used too much force, lost his balance, and fell heavily. His teeth hit the stone and broke with a "crack". Blood gushed out, his mouth full of blood. The old Taoist was not young, but he burst into tears because of this.
It was really miserable. Li Changxiao frowned, unwilling to pay attention, and walked around the old Taoist and left. After walking a few steps, the old Taoist got up again and said, "You! You! Don't leave!" His front teeth were broken and his voice was limp. But his movements were not slow, and he stood in front of Li Changxiao.
The old Taoist smiled and didn't even wipe the blood from his mouth. He reached into his bosom and fumbled around. He said something like, "What a weird thief! I can't cure you with this trick. Hehe, you will regret it later. If you mess with me, I will make sure you pay for it!"
Soon, he took out a square piece of brown sugar the size of the knuckle of his index finger. The old Taoist looked around and came to the middle of a post road. He stuck the brown sugar cube on the ground and said proudly: "Boy, you have offended someone you shouldn't have offended, you will suffer the consequences! This is a small punishment, why don't you accept it quickly!"
The Taoist said, "You are not allowed to leave until you finish licking this treasure, and you are not allowed to follow me!" After that, he threw his sleeves and left with his head held high. He was like a rooster returning from a great victory. It was exactly the same as the lesson he gave to the waiter.
But after walking a few steps, he could vaguely hear footsteps. Looking back, the strange-looking man in white did not lick the brown sugar, but still followed him. The old Taoist said in disbelief: "You! You! Why don't you lick the brown sugar?" Li Changxiao asked: "Do I have to lick it?" The old Taoist said: "Nonsense! Nonsense! Go back quickly, you are not allowed to leave until you finish licking the brown sugar!" After that, the old Taoist flicked his sleeves and walked quickly again. He had a limp on his right foot, and when he walked fast, he would go up and down, limping, which looked very funny.
Li Changxiao ignored him. He really didn't want to deal with the old Taoist. They were just on the same way, and he also wanted to go into the city. The old Taoist heard the footsteps behind him again, and he was frightened. Looking back, he saw that the strange man had not "gotten his fate". Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Suddenly his legs went weak and he fell to his knees with a thud.
