After the Stand-in Shou Faked His Death

Early the next morning, Xu Chengyan left the hotel and went to a local tourist town.

Now is the off-season for tourism, and there are fewer people traveling out.

Xu Chengyan found a homestay to stay in.

However, when checking in the information, the store owner saw that Xu Chengyan had booked a single room, so he casually asked, "Are you out to play alone? It's best to fill in the emergency contact."

Xu Chengyan thought about it, and still filled in the name and number of the husband in the emergency contact column.

He is an orphan, has no relatives, and no friends, only his husband has the closest relationship with him.

After registration, Xu Chengyan went upstairs to the room and put away his luggage first.

Open the window, there is a river outside the window, and across the river is the play street, the scenery is very good.

Xu Chengyan rested in the room for a while, then went downstairs alone, and slowly strolled around the town.

Walking out along the river, there are many small stalls on the roadside.

There are pastry sellers, commemorative trinkets, and fortune tellers...

Xu Chengyan looked at the fortune-telling booth, and when he was about to go around, he was suddenly stopped by the stall owner.

"Little handsome guy!" The owner of the fortune-telling booth hurried over and took the opportunity to sell: "I think you look good! Do you want to come and do the math?"

The voice of the stall owner sounded young. He was wearing a Taoist uniform and retro round sunglasses, and he looked like a magic stick.

"My side is very accurate! No money is not allowed!" The little Taoist pointed to his fortune-telling booth.

Xu Chengyan looked over and saw the words "marriage and career" written on the fortune-telling booth, and there were a lot of fortune-telling props on the table.

Xu Chengyan was a little curious, and said, "Let's count it as a marriage."

"Come, come!" The little Taoist enthusiastically brought him over, and asked Xu Chengyan to sit on the stool.

The little Taoist was sitting opposite, carefully looking at Xu Chengyan's facial features, "Let me take a look..."

"Peach Blossom Eye, Peach Blossom Mole..." The little Taoist looked at it carefully for a long time, and then said immediately: "Young handsome guy can do it! I'm going to have good luck in the future!"

The little Taoist didn't know where to take out a lottery, "Come here, draw a lottery!"

Xu Chengyan casually took a bamboo stick from inside, glanced at the signature on it, and handed it over again.

When the little Taoist took it over, his eyes lit up immediately: "Peach blossom lottery!"

"Little handsome guy, has Bai Fumei chased you recently?" the little Taoist asked.

"Where did Bai Fumei come from?" Xu Chengyan smiled.

"If you don't have it now, it doesn't mean you won't have it in the future!" The little Taoist slapped his thigh, "Your peach blossom lottery is very good!"

The little Taoist said a lot about unraveling the lottery, but Xu Chengyan was a little dizzy, and said, "It's a career."

"Okay!" The little Taoist took out another bamboo tube.

Xu Chengyan took out a bamboo stick and handed it over. The little Taoist looked at it and said pleasantly, "It's another stick!"

"Let me tell you, your career can be said to be smooth sailing and thriving!" The little Taoist boasted again.

Xu Chengyan listened quietly without speaking.

After all, he just resigned now, he doesn't even have a job, and he doesn't know what job he can find in the future.

What's more, his relationship was not going well, and he had a bad relationship with his husband.

This little Taoist is not accurate at all.

But before leaving, Xu Chengyan still readily gave the signing fee.

Although he knew that the lottery was fake, at least the little Taoist said good things, and it was very comfortable to listen to.

After leaving the fortune-telling stall, Xu Chengyan came to the pier along the path by the river.

There are slightly more tourists on the side of the pier, and there is a small pavilion next to it, where tourists can get a map of the ancient town for free.

Xu Chengyan also went to get a copy, but there were too many scenic spots marked on the map, and he was too lazy to look up the strategy, so he asked the staff in the pavilion, "Is there a guide here?"

"The tour guide can ask over there." The staff pointed to the pier not far away.

There were many private boats docked by the pier. When Xu Chengyan walked over, he was immediately surrounded by a group of people.

"Does the boss want to take a boat?"

"Where is the boss going? I'll see you off!"

Xu Chengyan asked, "Is there a tour guide? I'll find a tour guide."

"Me, me, me!" A young boy not far away jumped out instantly, "I know this place well! The boss can find me!"

Besides that boy, several other people also recommended themselves.

Xu Chengyan looked around, because there was only that boy who was about the same age as him, and the other tour guides were all older middle-aged people.

So Xu Chengyan went to find that boy.

"Thank you boss!" The other party smiled: "My name is Qin Zhou, you can call me Xiao Zhou."

Qin Zhou was young, about the same height as Xu Chengyan, with a darker complexion, and looked very simple and honest.

"Where does the boss want to go?"

"It's all right." Xu Chengyan didn't care, looked at the map again, and asked, "Can I go to the temple?"

"Yes!" Qin Zhou nodded, and seeing that Xu Chengyan was empty-handed and didn't even bring a backpack, he said, "But the boss had better buy some food and drink and prepare it in advance. There is nothing to eat on the mountain."

Qin Zhou pointed to the mountains in the distance. From the pier, he could still see a temple halfway up the mountain.

Xu Chengyan took out the map and looked at the distance for a while, feeling a little far away, he said, "Go tomorrow, do you have time tomorrow?"

"Yes, yes!" Qin Zhou quickly responded, and exchanged contact information with Xu Chengyan.

When Qin Zhou was entering the number, Xu Chengyan looked at the other party and found that Qin Zhou's mobile phone was an old model many years ago, and there were many scratches on the mobile phone, which seemed to have been used for a long time.

Apart from the mobile phone, Xu Chengyan also noticed that the clothes on Qin Zhou's body were not very new, the coat was a little white from washing, and he wore a watch on his left wrist, but the strap was worn out, and even the shoes were a little worn out.

Xu Chengyan looked away, and when Qin Zhou finished entering the number, he asked, "Are there any stamps for sale here?"

"Stamps..." Qin Zhou thought for a while, and said a little uncertainly, "I'm not sure about this. I know there are a few shops selling souvenirs, but I'm not sure if there are any."

Qin Zhou took Xu Chengyan to a nearby souvenir store to look for it. Fortunately, the two found a commemorative stamp in the last store.

There are three types of stamps, and Xu Chengyan bought them all.

After returning to the hotel in the evening, Xu Chengyan put the stamps on the table, took a photo, and sent them to Jiang Lin.

Not long after the message was sent, Jiang Lin sent a call request, and Xu Chengyan answered it.

"Sister-in-law!"

The background sound on Jiang Lin's side was a bit noisy, so Xu Chengyan asked, "Still playing outside?"

"Yes! The bar invited a band over today! It was fun!" Jiang Lin's voice was a little excited, and he asked again: "How is sister-in-law doing?"
