Chapter 1275: Chapter 558: Predicant and Escape
“Hey, old man, where are you going?”
“Wait a minute, old fellow.”
“Old guy—”
Augustus called out several tis in succession.
But the Old Blind Man seed to have urgent business, didn’t even finish his noodles, and stood up to leave.
His movents seed slow but were actually fast, weaving through the bustling streets. Several tis he almost collided with cars and people but narrowly avoided them.
Soon enough.
The Old Blind Man had disappeared from view.
Augustus was left standing in place.
—This is definitely not a normal person!
But why did he run away?
Sothing’s wrong…
Logically, after being reborn, he returned to this mont, and everything at this mont should be as it was originally.
But—
What’s going on with this Old Blind Man?
Why is it different from last ti?
While Augustus was mulling over this, a man in white attire snorted and said:
“In broad daylight, such frauds are running rampant everywhere!”
“Good thing he ran fast.”
“Otherwise, I’d certainly expose his true form!”
Augustus felt relieved.
That fits.
Last ti, it was this man in white who had helped the Old Blind Man and then asked him to tell his fortune.
Perhaps…
He shouldn’t have treated the Old Blind Man to noodles.
If he hadn’t stepped forward, the Old Blind Man would have been driven out by the attendants, only to be invited back to the noodle house by the man in white.
So was it him who influenced all this?
The more Augustus thought about it, the more he felt that he was to bla for this situation.
“Hey, the noodles you ordered earlier are ready.”
The attendant served a bowl of noodles, then stared at Augustus as if afraid he wouldn’t pay.
—After all, he was the one who ordered the noodles for the Old Blind Man.
The Old Blind Man ran off.
The noodles were already cooked and couldn’t be returned.
Augustus ca to his senses, gave the attendant a glance, and knew exactly what he was waiting for.
“Here you go.”
He flicked a Copper Coin onto the table.
Indeed—
It’s him returning after being reborn; his actions were different, impacting others.
Thus, the whole situation had beco different from last ti!
Augustus suddenly understood.
He grabbed the chopsticks from the table and began devouring the noodles voraciously.
A re two bowls of noodles.
For soone doing hard labor, his appetite was much bigger than the average person. If he had more money, he could easily finish another bowl.
He swept through both bowls like a storm, leaving them spotlessly clean.
Three Copper Coins.
Only the last one was left.
But as long as he had this Copper Coin, his dinner was secured.
Augustus lifted the noodle bowl with both hands, tilted his neck back, and drank the soup clean.
Satisfying!
Back when he ate seaweed porridge, he would squat at the stern of the ship, with a bowl in front of him.
When Ti was up.
The ‘dang head’ on the ship would bring around an iron bucket, and like feeding dogs, would ladle a scoop for each person.
That counted as a al.
—Who would have thought he’d have a day dining at a restaurant?
Augustus’s mind conjured up another image.
Cheng.
Cheng stood on the ship, squinting his eyes tightly at the floating corpse on the sea surface, his face full of excitent.
“Heaven helps !”
“Soone—fetch my harpoon!”
He hurled the harpoon towards him.
Hiss—
Augustus felt a shiver go through his whole body.
—That feeling was like being killed once more.
Nevermind.
Better not dwell on it now.
After all, the oyster pancake was quite delicious, and the crab noodles were extrely tasty.
He hadn’t felt this full for a long ti.
Truly satisfying.
—It was worth taking a break.
Where to rest?
Under the shade of the bridge.
Let’s squat under the bridge for a while.
Just as Augustus was pondering this, his mind suddenly flashed back to that incident.
“The fish business is big, you shouldn’t touch it, just stay here and feed the fish.”
Cheng said with a fierce expression.
The harpoon pierced his body.
Extre pain.
Unimaginable pain.
Damn.
What right does he have—
Augustus patted his forehead, took a deep breath, trying to calm himself.
Stop!
Action must be carefully planned.
Was he going to risk his life?
No need.
With his ability to be reborn constantly, he would surely find a way to deal with him.
For example—
If he could get acquainted with that scholarly man in white, it would certainly be beneficial for him in the future.
How could he get in touch with him?
Augustus began to think about this question.
The problem was not yet clear, and that image floated back again in his mind.
He was covered in blood, struggling on the sea surface.
Cheng was laughing on the ship, saying:
“I’ll let your family know.”
“And your bride who hasn’t passed the door, that spirited deanor, I’ll spend money to buy and enjoy her.”
The fishing boat gradually drifted away.
Hiss—
Augustus hung his head, suddenly laughed, and slamd the table hard.
The people at the sa table glanced at him and instinctively moved aside.
Augustus was oblivious.
He bit his teeth tightly, his eyes bloodshot, staring at the table, facial muscles contorted and deford.
He was truly a coward.
Clearly, tornted by this issue almost to madness, yet still contemplating “careful plans”.
Cheng.
Why did you drive to this point?
Why did you want to kill ?
Why?
Suddenly, soone tapped him on the shoulder.
It was the noodle house attendant.
“What do you want? I paid.” Augustus said.
“Not enough.” The attendant replied.
“Two bowls of crab noodles, totaling two Copper Coins, doesn’t add up?” Augustus asked.
“You also ate an oyster pancake.”
“The pancake and noodles together are one Copper Coin; I should owe you one pancake.” Augustus said.
“The pancake costs separately, kid.” The attendant said.
“I watched at the door for an hour; everyone pays this way, why should I pay separately?” Augustus asked.
The attendant was montarily speechless, instinctively looked back at the Shopkeeper.
The Shopkeeper shouted: “Hick—this is the rule here; you lot filthy dirty, after you eat, I have to make soone wipe the tables and benches, isn’t that worth sothing?”
