Chapter 82 - Chapter 81: Catching Dolls at the Flower Market

When Hu Ma saw the peddler that afternoon, he felt something was off. How could someone be so kind in such a petty trade? Besides, as I quietly approached, I vaguely saw that when the peddler was giving candy to the children, his hand seemed to intentionally or unintentionally brush over a child's head, as if he had plucked a hair. Although I was far away at the time and couldn't see clearly, I've suffered from such tricks in the village before. One's body, hair, and commonly used objects could all be used by others to cast spells; how could I not be cautious? It was just that I indeed hadn't seen clearly; this person might really just be a peddler after all. If I hurried back to the Manor to call for people and caused a big scene, the other party might see the situation as unfavorable and withdraw. In the end, I would still be the one in trouble. So, I decided to quietly keep watch here first to see if there was truly something amiss.
