Chapter 356 The Old Lady Selling Chestnuts

The night is shrouded, and paper money is scattered on the street, blowing in the wind.

It was not long after dark, and there were still voices from time to time, which seemed a bit harsh in the dark night.

And it was at this time that an old lady walked on this deserted street holding a small wooden cart.

"Chestnuts are for sale..." An old shout spread far away, but no one responded. There were even curses from time to time, as if they were awakened from their sleep by the shout.

The old lady walked for a while and seemed a little tired. She stopped, took out a small bench from the wooden cart and sat on the side of the road. She put her hands into her sleeves and shivered.

It was now November, and the weather was already very cold. The cotton coat on this old lady was obviously not able to keep her warm.

"This winter is not going to be good." The old lady sighed as her body shivered.

And just when she was sighing, a sound of footsteps came from the distance in the silent street.

The old lady looked around and saw a man walking over with a child.

"Old man, how do you sell these roasted chestnuts?" The young man walked to the wooden cart, opened the quilt for warmth, picked up a chestnut, and asked with a smile.

The man was wearing a green shirt and seemed not to be affected by the cold weather at all.

On the contrary, the boy beside him was wearing a fur coat and was shivering constantly.

Seeing the young man's appearance, the old lady was slightly startled. She had never seen such a handsome man before. He was more handsome than some famous men she had seen before.

Seeing the old lady stunned, Li Si coughed lightly, picked up the chestnut in his hand and showed it to the old lady.

"Ah... this young man, my chestnuts cost three copper coins per pound." The old lady quickly realized what she was doing and responded quickly.

"Three copper coins are not expensive at all." Li Si nodded slightly, and then said: "Please help me weigh it, old man. Give me ten pounds."

Hearing Li Si's words, the old lady was stunned for a moment, and then said helplessly: "Sir, I only have five kilograms, not ten kilograms."

"Oh? Why did you bring so little?" Li Si frowned slightly and asked.

"It's not easy to sell, no one eats these chestnuts." The old lady sighed softly.

Seeing what the old lady said, Li Si could only shake his head and continued: "Five kilograms, just five kilograms. You can help me cover it."

After saying that, he opened a chestnut, ate it, and gave one to the little boy next to him.

The little boy took the chestnut and ate it too.

"Okay, I'll help you weigh it right away." When the old lady heard this, she immediately laughed like a chrysanthemum.

Then she stood up and slowly stretched out her old hand to grab the chestnut.

When Li Si saw this, he also took out fifteen copper coins from his sleeve and placed them on the side of the wooden cart.

"I have a headache..." At this moment, the little boy beside him suddenly said, and then fell to the ground in pain.

It's just that his expression seemed a little stiff and unnatural.

At this time, Li Si also frowned, and then shook his head, as if he was trying to think of a way to stay awake.

"You...chestnut..." He said a word with difficulty, and fell to the ground like the little boy.

His expression was extremely smooth, and he vividly showed the symptoms of a person after being poisoned.

Seeing this, the old lady smiled, poured the wrapped chestnuts into the barrel again, and covered the barrel with a small quilt.

After doing this, she said to herself: "I thought there were no more ones today, but I didn't expect that there would be another one."

With that said, she walked over to the little boy, picked him up with difficulty, stuffed him under the car, and then pushed the car away.

"Chestnuts are for sale..." An old shout spread again.

Following this shout, the car gradually disappeared into the darkness.

After the car disappeared, Li Si, who had passed out, slowly stood up and looked thoughtfully at the place where the car disappeared.

Then, he opened his mouth and spit out a completely peeled chestnut, which accurately fell into the crevice in the distance.

It turned out that Li Si had never eaten that chestnut before, and all he had done was deceive the old lady.

Then he took the gourd from his waist and rinsed his mouth several times. When he felt more comfortable, he stopped rinsing his mouth.

"It seems that it is really you." Li Si frowned slightly. He had been out of Dashi Village for several days, and he had learned about the disappearance of children in nearby villages some time ago.

This caught his attention, so he went to the place where the child disappeared and found some broken chestnut shells.

So he suspected that the disappearance of these children was related to the chestnuts, so he noticed this old woman who had been selling roasted chestnuts in the village.

I tried it today and it turned out that she was the one who kidnapped the child.

He had smelled a strong drugged smell from the chestnuts before.

Now, all he has to do is find out where the old lady took the child.

As for how to find it, it was naturally the little boy just now.

That little boy was none other than Xiao Duan.

This old lady probably would never have imagined that she was abducted by a ghost.

Then, Li Si looked at some traces left under his feet and chased after him.

This is the trace left on the ground by Xiao Duan after he transformed his palm, so that Li Si could easily find him.

However, the more he chased, the more Li Si felt something was wrong, because he had already walked out of the town and headed towards the wilderness.

But he clearly knew that this old lady was a person, and he had actually seen her with his yin and yang eyes before.

Moreover, if a ghost comes to town and commits crimes, it is really looking for death.

But that’s what’s weird.

After all, this old lady is quite old. If she encounters something in the wild, she will definitely be unable to escape.

For example, if you encounter something like a wolf shoulder to shoulder, it is not something that an old lady can resist.

"It seems there is something evil." Li Si breathed out softly, his eyes a little solemn.

Thinking of this, he did not hesitate and chased in the direction of the old lady.

Not long after, Li Si had arrived at a mass grave. The graves here were of different heights. He even found a half-buried tombstone at his feet.

This shows that this mass grave has a long history.

And when Li Si entered here, there was a noise all around, and pairs of green eyes appeared in the darkness.

This is the animal that has been living in the tomb.

After discovering Li Si's arrival, these animals came out of their nests one after another and stared at Li Si with greedy eyes.

They have eaten many corpses, and now they are naturally salivating when they see a living person.

Looking at these animals, Li Si also recognized them. These were foxes.

What made him helpless was that instead of attacking the old lady, these foxes attacked him.

However, Li Si also confirmed one thing in his heart. This old lady must have something to do with evil spirits, otherwise these foxes would not be able to cause trouble for her.
