Chapter 1094 Plot?
"Are you just impatient for me to die?" The shopkeeper looked at them coldly.
"No, Dad. Our mother passed away early, and now you are the only one left. You see how hard our life is, you can't bear it, can you?" Seeing that the shopkeeper was angry, those people hurriedly spoke up.
"There are still two years left. Why are you so anxious?" The shopkeeper was really hurt.
The elderly people in this Fan town just can't bear to see their descendants suffer, and can't bear to sever ties with them, which makes these people think that once a person is over seventy, he or she must be turned into a blessing lantern and sent to death.
Yan Li looked outside the inn and saw an old man in tattered clothes and covered with whip wounds looking up. Yan Li was startled because it was the old man she had asked for directions during the day.
Judging from the old man's lip movements, he was telling Yan Li to leave quickly.
"I'll sign, I'll sign." The old man turned around and said to his children calmly.
"That's right, Dad. You've lived to be seventy years old. That's enough." The men holding the whips were ecstatic upon seeing this.
They had just brought the blessing lantern contract to the old man when it suddenly caught fire.
Boom!
Boom!
……
Immediately afterwards, several bolts of lightning came down from the sky, knocking the old man's children to the ground.
"Cai family, your father is not even seventy years old yet? Look, you are being punished by God, you are being punished by God." Someone in the crowd exclaimed.
"He's here. Today is my father's 70th birthday. How could he not be here?" Mr. Cai's eldest son immediately retorted.
"You are too impatient. Today is just his 70th birthday, and you can't wait to pull him out to make blessing lanterns. Have you forgotten that the souls used to make blessing lanterns must be over 70 years old?" someone shouted angrily.
Mr. Cai's children were horrified when they heard this.
They knew they were too impatient!
"The mayor is here, the mayor is here." The noise in the crowd suddenly quieted down.
I saw an old man walking towards this side with a cane.
"That old man must be over 70 years old, right?" Yan Li muttered when he saw the mayor.
"No one knows the mayor's age." The shopkeeper smiled and shook his head.
As Mr. Cai had just turned 70, he was asked by his children to make blessing lanterns. The scene of his children being punished by heaven scared the children!
They looked up into the air in doubt and didn't dare to ask the shopkeeper to go home to prepare for the making of the lanterns.
They are afraid of being punished by God!
"What is going on?" The mayor looked at the Cai family coldly.
"Mayor, we don't know what's going on. My father is clearly seventy years old." The eldest son of the Cai family got up from the ground and explained.
"Nonsense, today is his 70th birthday, it has to be celebrated today, why are you so anxious?" The mayor was very angry.
"Mayor, we were wrong." The Cai brothers were so scolded that they didn't dare to breathe.
Boom!
Suddenly a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and landed directly on the mayor's head.
The mayor was chopped until he was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Yan Li just wanted to test the mayor's character.
When lightning struck that day, the mayor simply wiped the burnt black hair off his face and got up from the ground.
It seems that he is quite powerful.
The mayor raised his head and looked up into the air. After observing for a while, he retracted his gaze and pretended to be calm.
"It seems that the mayor has been implicated by the Cai family." The onlookers spoke up.
"From now on, people from the Cai family will not be allowed to participate in making lanterns." The mayor said this and left in a hurry.
The Cai family members were dumbfounded when they heard this!
Mr. Cai sighed!
He had been begging his children to let him make the lanterns after his birthday, but they disagreed.
They thought this was an excuse for them to avoid being made into lucky lanterns.
Now, they have caused the mayor to suffer divine punishment, and the Cai family will never have a lucky lantern again.
"Since you can't make it into a blessing lantern, what's the point of keeping you? Don't come home in the future." The eldest brother of the Cai family said coldly.
Everyone:...
I have to say, these people in the Cai family are really heartless.
Among them, several elderly people in their sixties looked at Mr. Cai with envy.
After all, who would really want their soul to be made into a blessing lamp and burn and emit light?
Now that the Cai family can no longer make blessing lanterns, it proves that Mr. Cai has escaped a disaster and no longer has to bear any psychological burden.
How wonderful!
Looking at the mayor's departing back, Yan Li frowned.
The shopkeeper's children also left in disappointment after seeing this scene.
After dinner, Yan Li and the others went back to their rooms to rest.
After it became completely dark, Yan Li and the others went out in stealth in tacit understanding.
They planned to go to the mayor's residence to take a look. After all, the old world master and his men had to investigate such a strange matter thoroughly.
Yan Li and the others sneaked to the mayor's residence. It was already late at night, but the lights were still on.
Yan Li and the others entered the mayor's house and discovered that there were three people inside, completely hidden in cloaks.
"You said that the thunder fell for no reason today?" said the cloaked man number one.
"That's right, the thunder came very strangely and caught me off guard." The mayor nodded.
"Has what we did been discovered?" asked the cloaked man No. 2 in a cold voice.
"I don't know either, but a group of strangers came to the town today. They looked no ordinary people. I didn't want to alert them and wanted to discuss it with you first." The mayor said.
Yan Li: ...
It turned out that they had been targeting him and others for a long time!
“Among that group of people, there are a few old men over 70 years old. The fluctuations of their souls are very strong. If we catch them and burn them, they can be as powerful as thousands of ordinary old men.” Cloaked man number three spoke.
"Have you seen them?" the mayor was very surprised.
"I just happened to see them entering the town when I came back today." Cloaked man number three nodded.
"In that case, let's find a way to capture them." Cloaked Man No. 1's tone was full of greed.
"They will probably leave tomorrow," the mayor said.
"Then shall we act at night?" Cloaked man number two became anxious when he heard this.
"We can't act rashly before we know their true strength." The mayor shook his head.
"So what do you think we should do?" asked Cloaked Man No. 1.
"We'll find a reason to keep them tomorrow." The mayor's eyes were full of calculation.
Yan Li and the others on the side were speechless!
These people were actually plotting against him and others here. Yan Li silently sprinkled the medicine powder in his hand towards them.
Afterwards, he left with the old world master and the others.
Yan Li and the others wanted to see what reasons they would use to keep them tomorrow.
They also came to a conclusion that Mr. Cai must know something.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have mouthed words to Yan Li to tell her to run faster.
Yan Li and the others decided to go find Mr. Cai first to find out what was going on.
