Chapter 40: The Poisonous Thing
"Shocked! It's what self-destructed on the rainy night!"
"The monster who robs the humans and monsters in despair, what is hidden behind this?"
"It and Her, It and They!"
......
"It's all a group of talents."
Lu Jing, who was operating separately from Xu Zhuo early in the morning, took the bus to the commercial area in the north of the city, and held several newspapers like other guests on the bus.
Lu Jing happened to watch the whole process of the explosion last night. The operation of the sudden self-destruction after being surrounded was really shocking. Even though he was separated by most of the streets, he felt the heat wave coming. It is conceivable that the officers and soldiers nearby and the Night Guarding Office were injured and killed.
Lu Jing didn't fall asleep for most of the night. The shouts and vague wails of the rescue team outside the window made it difficult to fall asleep, and it also made him inevitably start thinking about a question.
What kind of kidnapper will come to this point when he is desperate?
He didn't even have the idea of negotiations and directly stopped and detonated the large number of bombs he carried on!
Lu Jing did not get any results.
Of course, he doesn't need to worry about these things.
When the rail bus stopped at the north station, Lu Jing walked off the bus with an umbrella and a backpack containing glass and dolls.
The city of Qihuangdao has its own unique atmosphere.
Lu Jing saw a girl wearing a tulle skirt in the pavilion under the red and green eaves getting up early to practice dancing. The nanny next to him was debugging a phonograph to play appropriate music. Someone was holding a telescope on the mechanical platform not far away, and there were several people competing around him, all wanting to enjoy the "beautiful scenery"; the corridor hanging in the air connected the two inns next to the street. The drunken guest was shaking in the morning, climbing up the steel bar bend and turning the fence to jump down, but the servant who followed him grabbed the corner of his clothes and dragged it back.
Occasionally, I would meet a few performing artists, holding some weird props or steaming mechanical monkeys, manipulating them to distribute leaflets to pedestrians around me, and greeting them at what time tonight, which Wasi has any strange performances.
Compared to last night's desertedness, the city still showed extraordinary vitality after the monsters that were accused of being "catched".
Walking on this street full of fireworks, Lu Jing held a map in his hand to look for doll shops in nearby areas.
Because the Fu family declined in the early years, few people knew their current situation. Lu Jing could only start with their peers and find a way to find out whether the family has descendants living somewhere on Qihuang Island. After all, failure in business does not mean the loss of family education. They may not have money, but their knowledge in puppets is definitely real.
I bought a sauerkraut vermicelli cake made of sauerkraut specialty from Qihuangdao, and asked the shopkeepers or waiters in each doll shop if they knew the Fu family.
Not to mention, most people in this industry know the existence of the Fu family and the Shangguan family, but most people know the situation of the Shangguan family, such as their eldest son has a few illegitimate children outside, when the second lady gets married, and what are the criteria for choosing a spouse. When Lu Jing expressed his desire to know the situation of the Fu family, he lost interest and just gave it up casually.
The so-called poverty is in the downtown area and no one asks about it, but the wealth is in the deep mountains and has distant relatives. This is a vivid manifestation in them.
Fortunately, Lu Jing did not have any gains at all.
"Fu family... Mr. Fu is indeed a good doll craftsman. I wonder how many people asked him for it back then, but later the Chengfeng mechanical doll factory opened by Shangguan family destroyed this situation. People like those mechanical dolls that can be moved with some coal or whale oil. The quantity is large and there is no need to wait. The Fu family is not only one step late in this regard, but most of the younger generations are not capable of making money. They are full of their minds and waste their skills. Falling is inevitable."
The gray-haired old man was sitting under the eaves of the door of the doll shop, and said with a bit of regret, even a little annoyed on his face,
"Those juniors don't understand how magical their skills are. They don't want to keep the treasures in front of them. They just think about the fate of Mr. Fu's granddaughter is still a little ambitious... I thought I was asking my grandfather to sue her grandmother back then and I could listen to Mr. Fu's teachings a little bit of fur. You see, just that little fur, I have set up a shop now."
Turning around to show Lu Jing the doll shop on his two-story building. The old man's face was quite proud. The former also saw various exquisitely styled dolls placed in the main hall of the store. There were basically no mechanical puppets, most of which were made of wooden.
"Do you know if there are any descendants of the Fu family who are still on Qihuang Island... To be honest, I recently got a special doll and want to find them to find out about the situation of this doll."
After finally finding someone who is familiar with the Fu family and seems to know Mr. Fu's granddaughter, Lu Jing naturally thought about asking for more information.
"Hey, you young man looks handsome, why are you so unreasonable? Isn't there a doll master sitting in front of you?"
When he heard that Lu Jing wanted to ask the doll, the old man raised his eyebrows and asked in a slight resentment.
"Why, do you think I'm not capable enough and don't deserve to see your puppet?"
"Oh... why did I forget this? I've been looking for the Fu family for a whole morning, and I'm thinking about them all. I'll take it out for you to see, but whether I can go in first is not good at the door. After all, the doll is a bit special."
The old man in front of him has learned from the older generation of the Fu family. Maybe he can really know something?
"I want to see what awesome puppet it is, come in with me."
Seeing Lu Jing looking cautious, the old man became interested, so he got up and picked up his chair and walked into the house. When he arrived at the counter, Lu Jing took out the doll that looked very evil.
"You..."
The old man who had just put on a pair of glasses saw the doll in Lu Jing's hand and his expression immediately stopped.
"What, do you recognize it?"
Lu Jing, who was paying attention to the old man's expression, immediately asked.
"Where did you get such a sinister thing?"
The old man stared at Lu Jing and said in a deep voice with a grim expression.
"You should not be the maker of it, otherwise you would never dare to take it out and ask people casually. In the future, this soul-sending puppet is something that can kill people!"
"I got this thing from a pirate, just to figure out what it is for...What is the soul-submitting puppet?"
"I don't know, you go and ask others!"
He obviously didn't want to talk about the doll.
"The Fu family's granddaughter..."
"Don't you understand? I don't know what you're asking, go now!"
From the time Lu Jing took out the doll, the old man's attitude was much worse. Not only did he look at the former with suspicion, but he was even too lazy to listen to Lu Jing's explanation, so he raised his hand and wanted to bombard him out.
No matter what, Lu Jing wouldn't have fought with an old man and left the doll shop obediently.
