"Tsk? A starving ghost? If I become a starving ghost someday, I'll go to the underworld and ask Meng Po to return my things first..."

Hua Yueying said nonchalantly.

After arriving in the human world, she became more and more relaxed, and her rebellious nature was clearly revealed.

"Look, you're talking nonsense before you die. I thought my eyesight was different from others, but I'm almost crazy. You're even crazier than me..."

Xu Zijun wanted to laugh but couldn't.

Hua Yueying is really good-looking, but how come she has such a wild imagination that she can even imagine that Meng Po owes their family something?

It's really exaggerated.

But since he is about to die, it is understandable that he would say some nonsense.

"Yueying, you've been fooled by nonsense. There really are Black and White Impermanence and Meng Po in this world. Just because you haven't seen them doesn't mean they don't exist. So, just tell me what you want to eat. I will at least let you eat your fill before you go on your journey. It's your fault that you refused to listen to me..."

Xu Zijun's eyes are different from others.

So he believes in those myths and legends about ghosts and monsters, and would kindly remind Hua Yueying to be afraid and not say anything crazy?

"Who's crazy? I'm not crazy, but after tonight, don't forget your promise if I'm safe and sound!"

"Don't worry, remember, I'll be watching over you tonight and I won't go anywhere else!"

The two of them were chatting together, each with their own thoughts. Hua Yueying really didn't care, and Xu Zijun was really worried. But the more this was the case, the more Zhang Fan, who was watching from the side, felt sorry for them.

Are they teasing Xu Zijun?

Xu Zijun was bound to lose, but he just, hey hey hey, for a bite to eat, Zhang Fan thought it would be better not to say anything and just let things take their course.

"So fresh, these river shrimps taste really good, Xiaoyue, try some..."

Zhang Fan called out Hua Yueying and saw the foodie busy peeling crayfish. He had never eaten anything like this before and the soup tasted so good.

Delicious, delicious!

Zhang Fan and Hua Yueying enjoyed the meal, but Xu Zijun looked at them and sighed from time to time. At the end of the meal, he even took out a kitchen knife and put it directly at the door of Zhang Fan's house.

He also placed a small red bag on each of them. Zhang Fan pinched it with his hand and it seemed to contain a talisman paper. Hua Yueying wanted to laugh, but was stopped by Zhang Fan's eyes.

Xu Zijun had good intentions, so he would cooperate a little bit to prevent him from losing too badly. After all, he would rather lose himself than watch two people die.

Just based on his appearance, Zhang Fan already regarded him as a friend in his heart.

Hey, hey, hey, the food he cooked was really delicious, otherwise, I wouldn't have used such a despicable method. Zhang Fan felt a little guilty at this moment.

So after dinner, he asked Hua Yueying to wash the dishes while he and Xu Zijun drank tea and chatted in the hall.

"Brother Zhang, I rarely hear you talk about your life experience. Are your uncle and aunt in good health now? I envy you very much. Both your parents are..."

Xu Zijun lamented a little. His parents died early and he had no brothers, so he was almost alone. So what he envied most were other people whose families had healthy parents and many brothers and sisters. But others often envied his family for having many houses!

"I've never met my parents. I heard that they went out to work. They would send money back at first, but eventually there was no news. I was raised by my uncle, so it's hard to describe..."

Zhang Fan smiled bitterly. His life in Jiangcheng was so difficult that he had never thought about going back.

Because he had no way back home.

The road was almost cut off.

At that time, my uncle had no children and no news from his parents, so my grandfather gave him to my uncle's family to raise, and gave all the money that his parents had sent to my uncle.

He was only four or five years old at the time, and life was pretty good. But not long after, his uncle gave birth to a son, Xiaokang.

Then his hard times began.

Xiaokang was born with a cleft lip, but his uncle's family was extremely anxious. Later, they heard that he could go to a big city for surgery. It just so happened that Zhang Fan's parents still had some money at that time.

The uncle used the money to pay for his son Xiaokang's surgery.

Although they were well-off, their uncle's family was extremely poor and lived a very difficult life. Zhang Fan dropped out of school after finishing middle school, although the school teachers came to their home to do work.

Zhang Fan was given an admission letter from the county's No. 1 Middle School, but his family had no money. His grandfather originally planned to go door to door in the village to borrow money, and Zhang Fan was willing to pay it back himself later.

But my uncle stopped me and had a quarrel with my grandfather. My grandfather died that night.

Zhang Fan left the mountain village with only a few pieces of clothes on his back. Later, after he made some money, he heard that Xiaokang had no money to go to school, so he sent some money to his uncle. That money was enough for Xiaokang to go to high school.

Zhang Fan changed jobs, kept learning, saved some money, and taught himself college courses. But the company happened to go bankrupt and he didn't want to work there anymore, so it was a period of career gap.

I accidentally became the owner of the Pawnshop of Heaven and Earth, and my life has never been the same since then.

Of course, he did not tell Xu Zijun about what happened later. He just told him some things about his childhood, which made Xu Zijun extremely angry.

"Are there such heartless people in this world? Your parents are probably really gone, otherwise, they would crawl back here even if they had to. Brother Zhang, I'm so sad!"

"Yeah, it's okay. I've gotten used to it!"

Zhang Fan smiled. In fact, he had lived a very hard life in the past and was very stingy, because he came from a small mountain village and had no money and no experience.

No matter how good the things out there are, they still require money.

He has no help and can only rely on himself for what he wants, so he saves money bit by bit, even the five-cent bridge is included in the calculation, which makes people feel that he is very stingy.

Until he became the owner of the Pawnshop of Heaven and Earth.

All of a sudden, money was just a number to him. Many things that he could never have imagined in his dreams were presented in front of him. Zhang Fan's whole mentality changed.

I am still stingy, but it is no longer limited to a few cents.

As it was late at night, the two of them were chatting happily. At this moment, the door seemed to be blown open by the wind, and a stream of cool air poured into the room, making the room, which was originally a little hot, suddenly cooler.

Xu Zijun stood up with a whoosh.

His eyes were fixed on the kitchen knife near the door.

That knife had been used to kill fish, poultry, and even cattle and sheep. It had seen blood, so it made a buzzing sound as if it had encountered something!

"Be careful, something is coming, hide behind me..."

Xu Zijun was very nervous and pulled Zhang Fan hard, but he himself stood in the front first.

His eyes looked around, but Zhang Fan saw that his legs were shaking very violently!
