Chapter 261: Yuan City's First Cannon

With this behavior, Luo Xiu did not chase after him. He retreated and bent down to pick up the scattered hair. It looked a little like a Dragon Li[1].

Someone should have been killing cats in the alley. It was unknown if he was afraid or if he wanted to catch them and eat them, but he heard someone and threw them out. Thus, this almost hit the county magistrate.

Luo Xiu looked around again before turning around and returning to Lin Yuchen's side. He reported, "Lord, we didn't see anyone. He should have escaped to the end of the alley and climbed over the wall. There were no other abnormalities. There were hairs scattered on the ground, and they looked like those of cats."

Lin Yuchen looked at the alley deeply. "He ran so fast? You only stopped for a moment before looking over. You didn't manage to catch him?"

Luo Xiu paused and said, "I think it was a young, strong, and agile man."

This deduction was right. Furthermore... the other party should have reacted immediately after throwing the meat in his hand. He immediately turned around and fled in a panic.

Lin Yuchen was deep in thought.

That person was very conscious.

He just didn't know if he had killed a living creature in the alley and was preparing to cook it at home. In the end, he accidentally threw the flesh out and was afraid that the people on the street would settle scores with him, so he immediately ran away. Or did he deliberately throw the flesh and blood on the street?

There were too many commoners living in Yuan City. As there were many merchants, there were also many commoners who went out to walk around. There were local people from Yuan City who returned from overseas. It was also common for them to kill live chickens, ducks, and rabbits at home and cook a good meal.

Therefore, this piece of meat... It really didn't mean anything. After the lady boss of the shop finished scolding to vent her anger, she admitted that she was unlucky and treated it as an accident. She picked up the broom and splashed some water on the wall.

Moreover, the lady boss had taken the meat down and seen it. It was indeed fresh and good meat. No matter how prosperous Yuan City was, most of them were ordinary people. The lady boss saw that the meat was good and even took it in to the shop, saying that she would stew it!

In any case, this flesh symbolized bad luck. If she cooked it, wouldn't that mean that she had overcome her bad luck? It would be even better.

The lady boss carried the meat and felt both relieved and happy. She turned around and entered the shop.

Everything looked normal. Lin Yuchen returned to his senses and could only say that he had encountered a bad thing.

Lin Yuchen was forced to stop on the street for a moment. His face was flushed red as he led Luo Xiu and the officials back to the Yuan City government.

...

Voyages were about to start in the Yuan River in two days.

Mother Rong was extremely excited and was already focused on doing business. After setting up a stall at the docks before the new year and earning so much money, she was in a high mood and could not wait to set up the stall.

They were preparing to leave the city. Over the past two days, the Guan family had entered a busy state again. Mother Rong led the other Guan family members to wash the vegetables, pots, and utensils. The entire courtyard was busy.
