Chapter 31 Xu Family
Chi Jiangdong, who has been a lucky star since he was a child, naturally does not understand how unlucky a person will be if he becomes unlucky.
Misfortune never comes alone, there are thousands of disasters, all for no reason, bad start... we will all perish together!
When Chi Jiangdong choked on drinking water, choked on eating, suffered accidents while walking, and almost died of suffocation while sleeping...he finally understood what Xu Shanshan meant by "unlucky".
His mind is filled with all kinds of indignant words every night to motivate himself to bravely and actively face the "disasters" that will follow tomorrow.
But things are slightly better here in Jiashan.
Compared with Chi Jiangdong's high-risk and high-burping state, he only caught wind and cold occasionally and kept coughing. As soon as he was cured, he got typhoid again. The wound left by King Chen's raid that night was infected. I could only take one bowl after another of bitter medicine, and was forced to stay behind closed doors.
The Tang family has also been very busy these days.
On the one hand, we have to collect the corpses in the old house, bury the loyal Kui Wu in the family, contact the old department to find out the direction of the court, establish a friendly and harmonious relationship with Major General Huo, request asylum, exchange information with the city order, and deal with Follow-up risks...
After Xu Shanshan received the thirty-year life expectancy from the Tang family's third master, and successfully obtained two magic weapons, the affairs in Jiangling City were basically over.
There were still three magic weapons to find and the remaining debts to be settled, so she planned to leave Jiangling City.
Maomao asked: "Shan, everything in Jiangling City has been done, where should we go next?"
"Xu family." She had already planned.
"The Xu family? Is it the Xu family that adopted Xu Shanshan before? Does she also have bad debts there?"
"Yes, and there are quite a few, and the third magic weapon is It’s probably pointing in that direction.”
"Then let's go to Donglong on our next trip. But this time you have provoked so many enemies in Jiangling City. Let's break through the eighth level of Taiyi Divine Number first and relearn some advanced spells before we hit the road."< br>
Xu Shanshan nodded: "Of course."
——
Xu Shanshan left quietly, without any farewell or any warning.
When Chi Jiangdong's bad luck got a little better, he realized that she had disappeared.
Chi Jiangdong said angrily and anxiously: "This Xu Shanshan still has the same greedy virtues. I just borrowed it from her. The jade-faced Guanyin belongs to my future wife. My mother has warned her not to lose it or give it to her casually. If anyone else knows that I gave it to Xu Shanshan, she will definitely twist my head off!”
“No, I have to go find her and get it back!”
The next day, Jiashan became ill. Well, I also learned that Xu Shanshan left alone, and Chi Jiangdong followed closely.
He didn't say anything, but left the Tang family not long after, leaving only one sentence for Sangong - If I don't go to hell, who will.

Longdong Jianghuai
Different from the inland areas of Jiangling hills and plains, Longdong is a coastal town close to the ocean. Even the wind smells fishy when people come here.
The Jianghuai salt industry is prosperous, business is busy, and culture is prosperous. Xu Shanshan set foot in a coastal town for the first time. He saw teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, and workshops on both sides of the street...
There are also props beside the street. There are small vendors with big umbrellas, which display various seafood products, including food, daily necessities, decorative ornaments, etc.
She flows into the city with the bustling people. The streets are spacious and can be passed by people on horseback and carriages. There are people carrying burdens hawking, there are rough men driving donkeys to transport goods, and there are people pushing wheelbarrows...< br>
"Everyone, get out of the way! The prison car escorted by the government is coming! Avoid! Avoid!"
A stern shout sounded from the front, and a group of officers and soldiers with knives waved their arms to chase away the pedestrians. No longer crowded on the street, they all moved out of the way, leaving an unobstructed passage.
Xu Shanshan naturally retreated to the side. One after another, about a dozen prison cars were escorted by the government officials. Inside, there were some vicious criminals squatting in shackles with their hands and feet. It was said that they were all prisoners. some fugitives.
“Throw it away!” the official shouted.
I saw that the people seemed to be prepared, carrying baskets of things, which were full of rotten and smelly eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, and even some fermented filth.
They hate evil so much that they beat these criminals hard, while cursing and using angry words.
Immediately a stench spread from the street, and Xu Shanshan tilted his head in discomfort.
Does this count as hurting the enemy a thousand times and damaging oneself eight hundred... Or are they all immersed in fighting criminals and can't smell the stench?
Xu Shanshan overheard someone saying next to him: "Recently, villains and refugees from all over Jingguo have come to our Longdong. I don't know what's going on? But as long as they dare to do evil in Longdong, that's it. Looking for death!”
"Isn't that right? As long as the Wei family is here, no one can commit crimes in Longdong. No, I heard that these are a group of green forest bandits. They used to commit burning, killing and looting elsewhere, but as soon as they came to Longdong, they Caught!"
"Shall we send them to Black Island as before?"
"Of course, it would be too easy to kill them and send all the criminals away. It’s best to go to Black Island and be tortured, and let these evil people kill each other!”
Xu Shanshan really couldn’t stand the smell, and left after silently listening to some local conditions.
Following the direction in her memory, she strolled to the Xu family mansion.
The Xu family is also considered a wealthy family in the local area. Back then, the fortune teller handed over the young original owner to the Xu family to raise him, but they were devoted to him and did not lack food or clothing.
But I never expected that the original owner was not only ungrateful, but also coveted the fiancé of the eldest daughter of the Xu family, and did evil, causing a lot of confusion.
It can be said that the original owner was driven out of the house by the Xu family because of his disgust, and the original owner also resented the Xu family and never set foot in the Xu family again.
She went up and knocked on the door gently, but no one answered the door.
Looking down, I saw that there was a thin layer of dust on the brass ring of the door, as if it had not been inhabited for a long time.
"Who are you?"
An old woman suddenly appeared from behind.
Xu Shanshan turned around and saw an old woman in her fifties with gray hair and slightly squinted eyes habitually turning left and right, looking like a philistine and cunning.
Looking at his clothes, he should be someone who lives nearby.
“I am Xu Shanshan, may I ask if the Xu family has moved away?”
"Move away?" The old woman looked at her suddenly and carefully. Seeing her extraordinary bearing, she asked: "Your surname is Xu, what is your relationship with this family?"
Xu Shanshan did not answer, just Staring at her faintly, although she was smiling elegantly, the old woman felt a sense of fear and nervousness.
She obviously realized that the person in front of her was not someone she could afford.
"The Xu family and the Xu family just committed a crime not long ago. All the elders in the family died, and the younger ones were exiled to the Black Island. If you look for someone, you probably won't be able to find them."
一After saying that, she quickly ran away.
Dead?
Xu Shanshan ignored the old woman who ran away. She raised her head, and her dark pupils were slightly glowing with light gold. She saw that the sky above Xu Mansion was dark and dark, and the evil spirit lingered for a long time, but it was the disaster of destroying the family. Resentments are gathering.
