Li Niang rolled down her sleeves and covered up the scars.
"At first, I hated him very much, but as time passed, I figured out a way to deal with him. Later on, the injuries I suffered gradually lessened." Her voice contained a kind of dull sorrow that made Ning Shu's heart ache.
"Elder Sister can embellish it with small petals and pearls to make it look even more special." Ning Shu walked over and placed a few pearls next to Li Niang's hand. Then she said, "If you grind the pearls into powder and mix it with Seven Whiteness Powder, it'll double the effect of removing scars. Elder Sister can give it a try."
A beauty past her prime wanted to retain her beauty the most. Li Niang stared blankly for a moment, then smiled and nodded. "Okay, I'll give it a try tonight."
She continued, "After interacting with him for another two or three years, I discovered that he was becoming more and more extravagant. He was much more generous than before when he was selling furs. He didn't even pick up the pieces of silver that fell on the ground. So I asked him what was going on. At that time, he drank some wine and was in a good mood, so he explained to me that he had changed his line of business to selling furs. Although that line of business was profitable, the risks were also high. If he was unlucky enough to encounter bandits along the way, he could still lose money. So he changed his line of business to selling horses. I asked him, 'Is there no risk in selling horses? If he encountered bandits, wouldn't he also be unlucky? ' He refused to say it clearly, only deliberately mystifying things. 'Horses are good. Horses are obedient and won't be easily targeted by bandits. Moreover, there'll be someone to take care of them when they arrive, so there's no need to worry about not being able to sell them. If these horses don't listen halfway, they'll be slaughtered and sold for horse meat … In any case, it's just these kinds of repetitive words. I also didn't understand much, so I didn't ask again. "
Ning Shu said, "Then what's the connection between this Feng Santong and the strange rumors of humans turning into monsters?"
"About eight or nine years ago, there was a very popular stall that raised strange beasts in the capital. Every day, they would set up stalls all over the capital to attract customers. One day, they set up a stall in front of our Magnificent Splendor Building, attracting many people. I also watched from the window upstairs for a long time. I saw the stall owner instructing the strange beasts under his control to kowtow to people and write a few auspicious words. In exchange, he would receive a large sum of money.... every day, he could be considered to be earning a lot of money. I couldn't help but sigh. They both came out to sell their smiles, but why was it so easy to earn money from them? I've been going through hell and back. Feng San 'er happened to be next to me that day. He sneered while drinking. His smile was strange and mysterious. I was very curious, so I poured him a lot of wine and asked him if he knew the reason behind it. In a daze, he muttered, "This thing is made of flesh and blood. Ten human lives in exchange for one spirit. Remember, it's ten …" Then he let out a chattering laugh and fell asleep. When he woke up, he refused to say a single word and even whipped me. "
Ten human lives in exchange for a spiritual monster? What did that mean?
Ning Shu thought about it several times in her heart, but she still couldn't understand. She suppressed her curiosity for the time being and continued to ask, "Did Feng San look for you recently?"
"Now that I think about it, he hasn't been here for a while. The last time he came to find me was two months ago. Either he went to sell his horse again, or he got tired of me and went to find another woman. Who knows?" Li Niang sneered, "If he got tired of me, it's a good thing. But the other girls will have to suffer again."
"Sister, do you know where Feng San 'er lives?"
"Let me think. I seem to have heard him mention it before." Ning Shu's mouth was sweet. Li Niang was very happy to hear her calling her sister. She seriously thought about it for her. After a while, she suddenly realized, "It seems to be the Drinking Horse Alley. Yes, yes, yes! It's there, in the north of the city, Drinking Horse Alley No. 13. I don't know if it's No. 15. You can go there and ask! "
Ning Shu stood up.
The Drinking Horse Alley in the north of the city happened to be four or five li away from the bridge where the beggars lived! There, it was very likely there!
