Chapter 411: 366 The Mystery of Birth_3

Because of the crowd, and since the boy and girl twins were still very young, it wouldn’t be suitable to bring them both along, so Chu Qing stayed at home to help watch over them.

"Sister Xiaofeng, does your hometown hold a village fair?" Yu Shuiling went to a stall and bought two clay figurines, one of Sun Wukong and one of Pig Bajie. The figurines were crafted exquisitely and looked very lifelike.

Such skilled craftsmanship is rarely seen in the modern era, and even when it can be observed, it seems to lack something.

"The festivals at our home can’t compare to this one, this fair is much more fun."

"Sister, they’re really good. If you let them mold you, they can make it look very similar. Do you want to create one of yourself?" Xiaonian pointed at the clay figurines in Shuiling’s hands and suggested.

"Let’s have him make one of each of us," Xiaofeng said, finding the clay figurines amusing.

"Sure, let’s each take one of ourselves and see who he molds the most lifelike." Yu Shuiling found the proposition extremely entertaining.

The three girls rushed to the craftsman and asked him to mold figurines based on their appearances.

Not far away in a restaurant, Xu Xuezi, accompanied by Yin Li and Xiao’ou, stood on the second floor. From where they were, they had a clear view of Su Xiaofeng and her group.

Xu Xuezi, watching Su Xiaofeng’s cleverly smiling expression, narrowed her eyes like a cat, hiding a hint of hatred within them.

Su Xiaofeng, you may have had the life to come from Xijiang County, but I’ll make sure you don’t have the life to go back.

"Yin Li." Xu Xuezi beckoned Yin Li over and whispered a few words in her ear.

Yin Li was initially stunned, but quickly nodded her head and turned to leave.

Xiao’ou made sure Yin Li had gone far, then said with some concern, "Miss, she doesn’t know about your marriage to Men Chao. If she finds out, she’ll definitely have thoughts. I’m afraid she might harm you."

No one could replace the affection between Yin Li and Men Chao, which is precisely why she was worried about the miss’s situation.

"Don’t worry, I won’t give her the chance to deal with me," Xu Xuezi’s mouth curved up coldly, "Once today’s matter is settled, I will certainly push her out as the scapegoat."

"Miss, you’re always one step ahead," Xiao’ou greatly admired the miss.

...

Xiaofeng and her two friends each held a clay figurine, each holding their own likeness, and each thought their figurine resembled them the most.

The three hadn’t walked far when two people came running towards them, with the one in the back shouting, "Catch the thief, catch the thief!"

Many people stopped to watch, but almost no one stepped forward.

Xiaofeng and Xiaonian had just paused when Xiaofeng felt something heavy in her hand, and she found an extra wallet there.

The person chasing the thief immediately caught hold of her: "Oh, you, are you her accomplice? Stealing and you dared to try it on me, didn’t see who I am."

"Ah, what accomplice. It’s clear that someone is wrongly accusing us, and you believe that?" Xiaonian was somewhat irritated to see the person grabbing Xiaofeng by the collar.

Every year during the fair, there were always a few cases of pickpocketing, but this year was particularly ridiculous, with someone being framed for it.

"I wasn’t asking you, why are you in such a hurry?" The woman in her early twenties wore flat shoes, a short jacket over her upper body, very short shorts on her legs, and beneath that, black spandex pants, a combination that had a somewhat modern vibe to it.

Xiaofeng narrowed her eyes as she looked at the woman’s attire.

"I’m asking you, are you in league with the group from before?" The woman stared directly at Xiaofeng, her tone not very pleasant.

"Not at all," Xiaofeng shook off the woman’s hand and adjusted her collar, "It’s quite simple, if we were together, you wouldn’t have been able to find me after she dumped the stolen goods."

Thieves aren’t dumb enough to dump stolen goods in front of everyone.

"Fine, if you say you’re not, then you’re not. Just give me back my purse," the woman said, not wanting to dwell on the issue, "I still have to get back to my business."

Xiaofeng glanced at the purse, which looked homemade and quite full, evidently containing a sizable amount of money.

Xiaofeng handed the purse back to the woman, "Do you sell things here?"

"Of course, there’s no rule against selling, as long as you pay the stall fee," said the woman as she secured her purse, "Fried chicken legs, do you want some? If you want, I’ll treat you, and I’ll throw in a cup of sour plum drink too."

"Fried chicken legs, what flavors do you have?" Xiaofeng’s eyelashes fluttered as she asked softly.

"Spicy and non-spicy," the woman stretched lazily, "You definitely haven’t tried them, I’ll treat you."

"You’re not that nice, you won’t ask us for money after we eat, will you?" Yu Shuiling didn’t believe such a good deal existed.

"I don’t need the money from you three people," the woman replied defiantly to Shuiling’s words, "Not to hide anything from you, but business here is good. These past few days, I’ve been selling nearly two hundred portions each day. If my business weren’t good, thieves wouldn’t be targeting me. Fried chicken legs are a fresh way to eat, both crispy and fragrant, just the smell alone could make countless people salivate."

Xiaofeng looked at her, listening to her speak, and had a bold guess in her mind but did not dare to voice it aloud, "Alright, I’ve been wanting to try it myself; can’t beat free food, right?"

"Right, can’t beat free food," Xiaonian agreed thoughtfully, "And I’m not afraid of you overcharging us, here in the Imperial Capital, I’ve never been afraid of anyone."

The woman wasn’t in a hurry and fried the chicken legs methodically, "You make it sound like I’m really something scary, my name is Lan Shuixian, what are your names?"

"Among the three of us, you can only ask one person’s name, who do you want to ask?" Yu Shuiling said, smelling the aroma from the pot, which was indeed nice.

"You guys are obviously just kids, it makes no difference whether I ask or not; I’ll ask her," Lan Shuixian pointed at Xiaofeng, "What’s your name?"

"Su Xiaofeng," she replied.

"Your name is quite simple, but I’ve heard my grandmother say that the simpler the name, the easier it is to raise," Lan Shuixian was quite chatty.

Lan Shuixian sprinkled seasoning powder over the freshly fried chicken legs and handed one to Xiaofeng, "Try this first."

Xiaofeng took a bite, and it was indeed as crispy and fragrant as they were in the modern era; she was one hundred percent certain that Lan Shuixian in front of her could be someone who, like her, had transmigrated from the modern world.

But as for when the other party had transmigrated, whether it was before or after her arrival, she had no idea.

Just as Xiaofeng was about to enjoy the chicken leg, Xiaoqi’s safety alert urgently sounded, "Master, dodge, someone is throwing a dagger at you."

Lan Shuixian and Xiaofeng were in the same direction; in her haste, Xiaofeng pulled Lan Shuixian to the side.

There was a clang as a dagger struck the oil pot next to Xiaofeng, which fell over and instantly caught fire.
