C3 You've Got a Deal Coming in

It was a cloudy evening when the ship docked at Nanyang Newport.

The sun was about to set, and there seemed to be a ripe orange hanging on the green mountain. Ah Fu came out of his room with his suitcase and suddenly thought of something.

"Jiang Tang, are you going straight back to Fu An Lane? Or are you looking for..."

"I'm looking for a temple." Jiang Tang took over her words and passed her the telegram she received last night, "We'll meet at the candy store by the river. They said they have urgent matters to discuss."

It was an urgent telegram in the middle of the night. It looked urgent, but it was an emergency.

"Hmm?" Ah Fu wiped his eyes.

The paper had been soaked, and the ink had drawn out a large number of lines, causing the brush strokes to be blurry and messy. She used the light to read it carefully for a long time, but she could only see two words clearly:

"Dusk?" What the f * ck did this mean? She looked up at Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang patted her round head as if she was trying to comfort her. She had read the telegram before she got up. At that time, it hadn't been soaked by the cold tea from the night before, but unfortunately, the girl who had copied it was busy sleeping.

She could only recognize one sentence from the whole text.

- Miss Jiang Tang, you have a business deal.

Jiang Tang, who went out to earn money every year, did not think of her business at all. She finished reading it in a daze, hugged the quilt with peonies embroidered on it, and went back to sleep.

Until she passed by the canal and saw the wishing lamp floating on the river.

She suddenly woke up. "It's the evening prayer of the God of Fortune. Do you remember it, Ah Fu?"

Ah Fu did have some vague memories. It was said that it was the wish of a believer to replace the wish of a god, but the final outcome of the believers seemed to be quite tragic...

So, she looks at Jiang Tang: "Do you think there is such a foolish person nowadays?"

Jiang Tang bit into the pastry, her eyes clear and black.

The prayer was a product of the Northern Ocean government. At that time, the warlords were divided, and the civilians who were involved in the chaotic war placed their hopes on the gods, praying that the war would end quickly.

Who would have thought that night - The police of the Concession House were patrolling and found the road in front of the General's House was covered with blood. Zhang Luyang's body had been cut into pieces and thrown into the pool.

Zhang Luyang was the leader of the Nanyang warlords, and he died the most miserable death.

The adjutant's confession said that it was a beast, but he didn't see what kind of beast it was.

The Nanyang City was near the sea, how could there be a beast? The neighbors all said it was the punishment of God because the adjutant who prayed also died on the morning of the third day.

He died in the same way as Zhang Luyang, miserably.

Jiang Tang threw away the crumbs of the shortcake. She doubted the adjutant's intelligence. It was so simple that it could be solved by drawing a gun. Why would he need to pray to God? Was he afraid that Zhang Luyang would not die?

Wasn't there a Gatling gun with blue flames?

Jiang Tang looked at the beautiful sunset on the surface of the sea. Her eyes were as lazy as a wild black cat that had just woken up, "I'm not stupid, but I have some extreme thoughts."

Just like Zhang Luyang's deputy. He prayed at dusk and died in the morning.

Ah Fu smiled. She couldn't respond to Jiang Tang's words, so she kicked her boots and walked towards the candy store, saying, "I listened to my temple, I believe whatever he says."

Jiang Tang looked at her with a face full of suspicion. Her eyes with eyeliner looked especially deep, as if they could see through something, with a strong sense of exploration. "Ah Fu..."

Ah Fu turned his face to the side and did not answer. She was studying the candy store on the other side of the river.

A person around the age of seventeen or eighteen stood under the red lantern. He was clean and wore an old-fashioned black blue robe.

He also looked familiar as if he had seen him somewhere before.

She took out the new telescope and put it close to her eyes. Before she could take a closer look, she heard Jiang Tang's sour reminder and suggestion, "Take a look at the ophthalmology department, Ah Fu. That's our temple's blessing."

Ah Fu kicked the dried up willow tree stump in front of him, "I want to take a closer look."

"I know. Your eyes have been broken a long time ago."
