Living Sacrifice

C108



"There are only a few left anyway, let's talk after we're done asking!"

Holding onto my last glimmer of hope, I walked into a tobacco and alcohol supermarket. It wasn't too big, just a small front room, about twenty or thirty square meters wide, filled with all kinds of cigarettes and alcohol.

"Young man, are you buying cigarettes or wine?"

The shop owner was a big sister wearing red clothes. She greeted me enthusiastically before I could enter.

"Eh, elder sister, I don't buy cigarettes or alcohol. I just want to ask you about something!"

I looked at my elder sister, a little embarrassed, and touched the four packs of cigarettes in my pocket. I thought that if I bought more, I wouldn't even have a place to put them.

I didn't smoke much anyway, and I didn't even know that I was going to smoke for a long time, so I said shamelessly this time.

"Ask around, young man. Come in and sit down. What do you want to know?" I'll tell you what I know! "

Originally, I was prepared to be chased out. After all, there was an example to be made. If I didn't buy anything, these merchants wouldn't look at me with a good face.

However, this elder sister's way of doing things is different from the others. When I heard that she wanted to know more about the matter, not only did she not chase me away, but instead warmly invited me to enter the store, I was somewhat touched.

"Big Sis, you don't have to be so polite. Actually, it's nothing much. I'm just asking, do you know of a Taoist called Blind Ancient Daoist?"

Actually, I didn't have much hope when I asked this question. Yin Ling told me that the owner of this supermarket in Blind Ancient Path was a male. Obviously, this big sister didn't meet the requirements.

However, it's just a matter of luck anyway. There's no reason for me to not ask, especially since I can't let down this big sister's good intentions.

"Who?"

Big Sis saw that I had confirmed it again, and when she heard the words Blind Ancient Daoist, a hint of surprise flashed across her face.

"Blind Ancient Dao."

I said the old Daoist's name once again and looked expectantly towards elder sister, hoping to get some useful information from her.

"You're looking for him? Could it be that someone in your family has faked his corpse as well?"

Big Sis looked at me with a face full of suspicion. Then, she said something weird.

Even though elder sister's words didn't sound like good news at first, but for me who had been searching for the blind old way for three days, it was like a happy news that fell from the sky.

"Big Sis, does that mean you know about it?"

My face lit up as I asked my elder sister excitedly.

"Of course I know. This Blind Ancient Daoist has even saved the lives of our family members?"

Big Sis looked at me and said with an excited expression, as though she was still immersed in the joy of surviving.

"Since you know, can you tell me where this blind old path resides?" I have something urgent that I need his help with! "

Big Sis's reply made my eyes light up. I immediately looked at her and asked.

At this point, I was even blind to the feeling of the ancient path right before my eyes, and I was getting closer and closer to victory.

"Eh, I really don't know about that. Although I've seen this blind, ancient Daoist before, the person who went to invite him here was my husband. I've never asked him where he lives."

This time, it was elder sister who looked at me and said in embarrassment.

Well, it must be a pleasure, but luckily there were people who knew. It was very likely that the husband of this big sister was the supermarket boss that Yin Ling talked about.

And this wine and tobacco supermarket, it's the supermarket I'm looking for.

At this point, everything had become clear. From the looks of it, the Blind Ancient Daoist did indeed have some ability. To be able to save the life of the entire family of the supermarket's boss, he was definitely not some ordinary person.

"Big Sis, can you invite Big Bro over? Look at me, this matter is rather urgent, so I can't delay it. "

Since things have come to this, I definitely can't give up. Since elder sister's husband knows about it, I can only start from here and see if I can find out where this blind old Daoist lives.

"Big brother, it's not that I don't want to call you, but your big brother went to the city to stock up the day before yesterday and messed around somewhere. His phone is off, and I can't reach him in a short while!"

It could be seen that when the eldest young mistress mentioned the matter of her husband turning off his phone, she was still a little angry. However, it was mostly worry and worry. From this, it could be seen that the couple's relationship was not bad.

My big brother's phone was turned off. Without a doubt, I wouldn't be able to contact him in a short period of time. This also put me in a dilemma.

For a moment, I didn't know if I should stay in Jiangxia Town to wait for him or run into the city to look for someone.

"Big Sis, if Big Bro's phone was turned off like before, how long would it take for him to go home?"

"This has never happened before. I was still thinking if I really couldn't contact him, then I'd go into the city and find him. When I return, I'd have to make him kneel at the washboard!"

From the looks of it, this big brother should also be under the control of his wife. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sympathize with my big brother's predicament after returning home.

However, even though her words were firm, she couldn't hide the worry on her face.

That being the case, I dispelled the thought of staying in Jiangxia Town. After all, who knows how much time this wait will waste.

"Big Sis, if you know where Big Bro went, you can tell me and I'll help you find him!"

Rather than wasting my time here, I might as well look for it myself. That might save me some time.

Next, I asked Big Sis which wholesale market Big Bro went to and saved Big Sis's phone number. I told her that I would call her as soon as Big Sis got news of me.

In the end, I left the supermarket while elder sister thanked me profusely. In elder sister's words, I helped her a lot, so that way, the supermarket in her house wouldn't have to close.

After leaving, I didn't rush to the city. Instead, I bought some sacrificial offerings and went outside the town to check on the Grand Matriarch, then offered her a stick of incense.

After doing this, I got on the bus to the city and went to the wholesale market that Big Sis mentioned.

It was a popular name, but it had a good moral to it.

Whichever wholesale market was like this was usually not hard to find. After all, there were only a few wholesale markets in a city. After getting off the car, I headed straight for the wholesale market.

It's a good thing that I had the information about them before I came here. Otherwise, with just this batch of tobacco and alcohol, there would be at least forty to fifty of them in this wholesale market.

"Do you think I'm smart?"

At the same time, I didn't forget to boast to Yin Ling.

"Scram!"

Yin Ling answered without hesitation.

"What, you mean he went back alone that night after you finished drinking?"

I looked at the boss of the wholesale store and asked in surprise.
