Chapter 827: Cripple
After the items were removed, they soon heard a sound coming from the cabinet.
When they looked again, they did not know why, but the cabinet leg was broken. The entire shelf lost its balance and fell to the ground. The boss was so scared that he jumped!
“This is really… strange.” Yu Xian was dumbfounded.
Feng Yingying’s tiny face turned pale. She did not know why, but she kept feeling that the surroundings were gloomy.
They could clearly see that the cabinet was initially fine and there was not a single crack. Why did it suddenly break?!
It was too strange. It was as if… something invisible was harming people!
Moreover, within a day, there were two similar incidents!
“Young lady, young lady, what do you fancy? I-I will give you a 30% discount!” The boss looked at the treasures that had escaped disaster and was about to cry.
The items on the shelf were all very expensive, and they were all fragile items. If they fell, the loss would be more than ten thousand taels of silver!
It was really not an exaggeration, these were all antiques!
Some of them were even reserved by n.o.bles!
Even with a 50% discount… Xie Qiao did not have money to buy them.
The matter was settled, and they left without looking back.
However, this time, the seven or eight ghouls did not wander around, but followed her. They were even chattering.
“She was the one who interfered just now. How did she know that we were going to break the thing this time?”
“Could it be that she could see us? I heard…that there’s a very powerful master in the capital who can communicate with both worlds…”
“Don’t worry, Brothers, I’ve already asked around. That master is old. Look at this little beauty… As for how she saw us… it might be a coincidence, right? Some people are born sensitive.”
“Then are we still going around tricking people?”
“Why don’t we… follow her?”
” …”
With that said, the couple of ghouls surrounded them.
One of them even took out a saw and said with a smile, “How about we let her be a cripple?”
The other ghouls nodded excitedly.
A cripple who was also a beauty. When she walked, she would limp. That was really too interesting!
A few ghouls were about to attack Xie Qiao’s legs.
However, when their hands touched her, their plan failed immediately. Their entire bodies were thrown out.
“S-She is a monster! It hurts!” The eight ghouls were all frightened. They stared at Xie Qiao and were very angry.
Xie Qiao was speechless. She was the victim!
Monster? Who was that? Did they not know they were the monsters?
They were the ones who sought death. What was there to be wronged by such a small injury? They even wanted to cripple her!
“I suddenly feel a little cold.” Feng Yingying rubbed her palms. “It’s a sunny day. Am I sick?”
As she said that, she touched her head.
She… did not feel dizzy?
“Me too. Just now… it was as if there was an ice cube in front of my eyes. It was much cooler, but it was also a little scary.” Yu Xian also felt that something was wrong.
Thinking back to the strange scene just now, the two of them were a little uneasy. “Young Lady, isn’t it a little strange?”
There were eight ghouls, and each of them had a different situation.
One of them was covered in ice, and its entire body was covered in frost.
The other one seemed to have been burned to death, and its entire body was a mush. The others were nothing better.
“I need to go back to the carriage to get something,” Xie Qiao said.
Not many people knew that Xie Qiao was proficient in communicating with both worlds, but there were still some who knew. As long as she restrained herself on a daily basis, it would not be a problem.
Under the current situation, Xie Qiao could not remain silent, which she directly explained, “I grew up in a Taoist temple, so I have learned some skills. I can feel that there are ghouls around, so you will feel uncomfortable. The two incidents just now were done by them.”
Feng Yingying was so scared that she had gooseb.u.mps!
