Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor - Chapter 1919
Chapter 1919: This Luck
As she walked along the street with the cane in her hand, she saw a street vendor shouting out selling fried sugar chestnuts. She walked slowly forward and stared at the fried sugar chestnuts. She didn’t want to leave after smelling the aromas of the fried sugar chestnuts.
“Old lady, do you want to eat chestnuts? It’s freshly made, still hot too. Sweet and fragrant as well.” The street vendor greeted her with a smile while she fried the chestnuts in the wok.
“Give me a bag of fried sugar chestnuts then.” While she spoke, Feng Jiu rummaged through her sleeve and took out a piece of silver then handed it to the street vendor.
When the street vendor heard the crisp voice of a young person, he looked at the wrinkled old lady in front of him and couldn’t help but was stunned for a moment. He stared at the person as he handed the bag full of chestnuts over.
“Here, this is your chestnuts…”
“Ahem! Thanks a lot!”
Feng Jiu coughed lightly and her voice changed to one that was old and hoarse. After she took the bag of chestnuts, she walked away step by step, as if she hadn’t noticed the dumbfounded gaze of the street vendor behind her.
She opened the chestnuts and ate them while she walked and put the shell back into the side of the bag. She watched some people on the street walking quickly, looking around and asking around. She couldn’t help but narrowed her eyes and smiled.
It was such a fun feeling watching them searching for her but not being able to find her.
She was thirsty after walking around the street and eating chestnuts. Hence, she went to a tea stand by the corner of the street and sat down: “Boss, bring me a cup of tea.” She squinted and smiled, speaking in her old, hoarse voice.
“Alright old lady. Sit down and rest first and I will bring it over for you right away.” The busy middle-aged man responded with a smile. After he had poured tea for the guests at the other tables, he came over to Feng Jiu.
“Old lady, what type of tea would you like to drink? We have chrysanthemum tea for detoxification and heat-cleansing, we also have new teas the tea people brought back, we also have toasted tea and floral tea. In addition to tea, we also have mung bean soup and the likes of it.”
“Just bring me a cup of toasted tea!” Feng Jiu said and poured the whole bag of chestnuts onto the table. She picked up a chestnut and peeled it, then put the shell back into the bag.
As she sat at the tea stand drinking tea and eating chestnuts, she heard the street vendors shouting from time to time and she watched the people coming and going on the street. The city was bustling and prosperous, but in the small tea stand, it seemed leisurely and cosy.
However, at this moment, a surprised voice drifted over.
“Little Brother!”
Feng Jiu, who was drinking tea at this point, stiffened when she heard the voice and looked back instinctively. She saw the chubby girl coming in her direction from some distance away and thought in shock: She had already disguised herself into an old woman, and the chubby girl could still recognise her? She saw the chubby girl run past her and came swiftly to the table in front of her then grabbed the man in azure robes who was talking to his friend.
“Little Brother!”
The corners of Feng Jiu’s mouth twitched and her eyes lowered. She had mistaken somebody else for her. Of course, how could she have recognised her?
“What Little Brother? Go away go away!” The man in azure robes had turned around in delight at first as he thought that she was a delicate beauty. Who knew, she turned out to be a chubby beauty. He pushed her away with a look of disgust on his face.
The chubby girl didn’t realise she was being pushed away and stumbled backwards into the tea table that Feng Jiu was sitting at…
