The cloth shop closes around 6pm.

The first day's turnover was not very high. Except for three families who paid with silver and made a profit of 45 taels, the rest were traded for 20 kilograms of charcoal and two carts of firewood.

Jiang Yue used the store where Fan Mo lived as a warehouse, storing things there, which was very convenient.

In two days, there will be more people coming to exchange cloth, and she will just come to collect the payment every three days.

In order to reward the new employees, the kind-hearted female boss left a bucket of fresh fish for them, despite the dissatisfaction of the cold-hearted male boss.

Fan Jin was so happy that he jumped three feet high and kept asking the owner when the shop would open the next day and whether the opening hours should be extended.

Judging from his appearance, he seems to be eager to open the shop at night.

Jiang Yue reminded them, "You don't have to be open at night, but you may not be able to rest well. Our store is the most popular in the whole city, and there may be some malicious people who come here to steal things or cause trouble."

"There are officers to help watch over us during the day, but you need to be more alert at night."

"Don't worry, boss! We will definitely take good care of the store!"

Jiang Yue tapped Fan Jin's head with the pen in her hand. "What I mean is, don't eat the person, and don't scare the person to death! At most, scare the person away or throw him to the government office."

"It's so unlucky that someone died right after opening the shop!"

Besides, she didn't want to make the matter too complicated. It would be very troublesome if the police asked questions and took notes. It would be enough to scare her and make her have nightmares.

Fan Jin patted the cat's head and said, "Oh."

Then he chuckled again. He loved scaring people. It was fun!

After dark, Jiang Yue and the others went home after seeing that they had cleaned the house.

Just as Jiang Yue expected, theirs was the only shop open in the whole city, and they sold such good fabrics. The people discussed it excitedly for several days.

The land outside the city had already been cleared by the pioneers, so if you wanted to chop more firewood, you had to go up the mountain. Some lazy people just wanted to do something that would get you something for nothing.

Three people took advantage of the night, dodged the patrolling officers, and quietly sneaked to the door of the cloth shop.

One of them gently pushed the door open and said, "It's locked from the inside. Someone is sleeping in the store."

"Hehehe, isn't it that young lady from today?"

"No way? Who would let a young lady guard a store?"

"So what? We've come all this way, are we just going to go back empty-handed?"

"Why go back? They live in the backyard. We can just go in and grab something from the front store and leave. Who knows? It won't make much noise, it won't wake anyone up."

"Okay, let's be gentle then."

One of them took out a thin piece of wood, inserted it into the crack of the door, and moved the wooden bolt inside little by little.

With a "click", the wooden bolt behind the door fell off.

He pushed the door gently and it opened with a creak.

The three of them were delighted, tiptoed in, and then closed the door.

They groped around in the dark until they reached the cashier's counter, opened the drawer, and reached inside.

"Damn it! He didn't even leave a penny!"

"Who has money and doesn't take it home? Why leave it here for us to steal?"

"What's the point of asking for money? It's better to get something useful that can be exchanged for something else."

Several people made a rustling noise in the darkness. They fumbled around until they found the cloth, picked it up, and tried to leave.

At this moment, there was a light sound of a door opening, and they were stunned.

The inner door of the store leading to the backyard was suddenly opened.

"Which of you opened this?"

"I didn't touch it..."

"What are you afraid of? It's just the wind! Stop scaring yourselves, you cowards! Hurry up and move your stuff! They're all valuables!"

“Big brother, big brother—” One person stretched out his hand and slapped the big brother next to him.

"Tsk, what are you doing! You're so hesitant, don't come out next time!"

The man was in a panic, his legs shaking. "Brother! Look over there, is there a dark shadow flashing by?"

In the moonlight, there was a swaying black shadow outside the door, as soft as silk, growing from small to large, as if it was about to float into the house from outside the door.

The three people inside opened their eyes wide and dared not move.

The black shadow changed again, revealing a pair of sharp black claws, and attacked them.

"Brother! It, it, it, it's coming towards us!"

With a few "thumps", the cloths in the hands of the three people fell to the ground.

The claws grew bigger and bigger, and a pair of glowing eyes seemed to be seen in the darkness.

"Ghost, ghost—"

“Run!”

"Help! There's a ghost!"

Several people turned around with limp legs and tried to grab the door.

"Door, why can't the door be opened?!"

"Who's holding the door?! Ugh—who wants to hurt us? Open the door quickly!"

The boss glanced up and down, then kicked him and yelled, "What are you howling for! Move your pig's trotter out of my way! How can I open the door if you're blocking it?"

“Ohh…”

The black shadow behind them was getting closer and closer, and they seemed to hear a dripping sound. The three of them opened the door in a hurry and rushed out like crazy.

He was running and shouting, "Ghost! There's a ghost!"

"Help! The ghost is trying to eat people!"

The passing patrol team glanced at each other, rushed forward, and took away the crazy people. Because there were many people with mental problems caused by natural disasters, they were not surprised...

Fan Bai walked into the shop, bent down, picked up the cloth, and put it back in place. The thief had just pushed down the door latch, and he checked it, and it was not broken and still usable.

The kitten jumped onto his back and stretched out its body. "Meow~"
