At the same time, in Chang 'an City.
At this time, it was the busiest time in Chang 'an City. The streets and alleys were filled with the sound of merchants soliciting customers. Servants shuttled through the crowd. Peddlers were walking and stopping with goods on their shoulders. Pairs of men and women were choosing goods on the shelves. The whole city was bustling with people coming and going. It was very lively.
Zhu Zi was still hawking on the street with the fermented glutinous rice as usual.
"Fermented glutinous rice, fermented glutinous rice."
Just then, a roar came from behind. "Zhu Zi."
"It's Huzi."
Zhu Zi stopped and glanced behind him.
Huzi held the load on his shoulder and quickly stepped forward to walk side by side with Zhu Zi. "Zhu Zi, how's the business today?"
"How can it be? It's the same as usual."
Zhu Zi smiled and patted the jar with his left hand. There was a hollow sound.
"Looks like you're doing well today."
Huzi glanced at the jar and smiled. "Do you want to take a rest?"
"Okay."
Zhu Zi agreed without hesitation. Then, he glanced at the corner and said, "Let's go there to rest."
After that, he walked to the corner with the load on his shoulder. Leaning against the corner, he put down the load. Huzi followed him closely. The two sat on the ground.
Huzi wiped the sweat on his forehead and said with a smile, "Zhu Zi, where's your fermented glutinous rice? Take it out and let me taste it. I'll exchange it with a steamed bun. "
After that, he lifted his clothes and fanned himself casually. His eyes drifted around and the sky from time to time. Suddenly, he seemed to find something. His eyes widened. He couldn't believe it, but he didn't know what it was. He just kept pointing at it with his fingers.
"Huzi, your fermented glutinous rice."
Zhu Zi handed over the fermented glutinous rice, but found that Huzi was pointing at the sky. His eyes widened and his mouth kept muttering something.
"Huzi, Huzi, what's wrong with you?"
Zhu Zi shook Huzi and asked with concern.
"What … what … is that?"
Huzi was still pointing at the sky. His body was trembling and he couldn't speak clearly.
Zhu Zi curiously glanced in the direction of Huzi's finger. He didn't know if he didn't look, but when he looked, he was shocked. His pupils instantly shrank and his body trembled. "This … Could this be the legendary Bane?"
As soon as these words came out, Hu Zi quivered and instantly sobered up a lot. He grabbed the pillar and shouted, "What Bane?"
"Calamity … star."
Zhu Zi trembled as he glanced at the sky. Then, he looked at Huzi. His face was pale and his body trembled. "I heard from the older generation that when something like this appears in the sky, it's a jinx …"
"What?"
Huzi's face turned pale. He turned around to grab his load, but his trembling arms made him unable to exert any strength. As he grabbed the load, he muttered, "The jinx is here. What should I do with my baby?"
He tried to grab it a few times, but he still couldn't lift it. In the end, he gave up and ran towards his house. As he ran, he shouted, "The jinx is here, the jinx is here."
When Zhu Zi heard this, he seemed to have thought of something and ran towards his house. He didn't even care about his load. As he ran, he shouted, "Jinx, jinx."
He deeply understood what a jinx meant. It was to bring disaster to the world. The older generation said that once a jinx descended, the world would be in chaos. People would eat people, foreign races would begin to invade, and such things would come with the jinx. The people who would suffer would be the common people. Then, what would happen to his mother? What would happen to his baby?
Thinking of this, he sped up and shuttled through the crowd. He kept shouting as if he was under a spell.
Soon, someone noticed this abnormality. At the same time, they also heard what they were saying. They couldn't help but wonder, "Jinx? What jinx? "
Perhaps it was due to the influence of traditional thinking, or perhaps it was because of curiosity, this person intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the sky. At this moment, he saw it. He saw the jinx that those people were talking about. Suddenly, his eyes widened. His brain seemed to have received an endless shock. He crazily shouted, "In the sky …"
"There's a jinx in the sky?"
"Look."
"Everyone, look."
This roar instantly attracted the attention of the people around. They glanced at this guy with some doubts. "Jinx? How is that possible? Now is the time when the weather is good. The Tang Dynasty is gradually flourishing. How can there be a jinx? Besides, Lao Tzu had lived for decades and had never seen a jinx. Now, you've seen one? "
Most people held an attitude of disbelief. They thought that this guy was just crazy. Some people were even cursing him in their hearts. However, there were still some curious people. They didn't believe it. They couldn't help but shout in their hearts and look at the sky.
"Jinx, is it really a jinx?"
"A jinx appeared in the sky?"
In an instant, everyone around shouted. They widened their eyes and pointed to the sky. Their faces were full of surprise and disbelief. The roars became louder and louder, spreading farther and farther. The streets and alleys of Chang 'an City began to shout non-stop.
