Chapter 96: Master Yi’s new way of generating income, ghosts and humans, my husband, I’m so scared~
At night, when Yi Chen returned to Hongchen Inn, it was already four o’clock in the morning.
The weather was not good, and it started to rain heavily with thunder and lightning when they were halfway through the journey. Fortunately, Yi Chen had a body full of pure yang energy, which was unparalleled. With a casual shake, the rain could not reach him at all and was evaporated before it even fell.
Just when Yi Chen was about to take a break, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Yi Chen opened the door and saw that it was Mr. Shen, the head manager of Hongchen Inn, standing outside the door.
He had met Shopkeeper Shen once during the day, so he recognized him.
He proposed that Yi Chen could stay in his inn during his stay in Longjiang Prefecture, and not only would his food and lodging be free of charge, but he was also willing to give Yi Chen two hundred taels of silver as a gift.
These words made Yi Chen laugh.
This is treating him like a fool.
He did not comment at the moment and sent him away, saying that he needed to rest.
It all depends on the shopkeeper’s understanding tomorrow, otherwise he might have to change to another inn to rest tomorrow.
There was no conversation that night and Yi Chen fell into a deep sleep.
…
…
…
Under the same night sky, South City, Black Stone Square.
A vicious circle that no big city can escape is that there is a large slum hidden in the shadow of the city.
Many people live like rats in this huge city.
They are the indispensable foundation of the city and the fuel for its prosperity.
After all, without them, the masters can't do the work themselves.
When people are full, they are less willing to move.
Therefore, maintaining a considerable proportion of the poor population is a common problem in all big cities.
Heishifang is one of the most explosive places among the slums in the southern city of Longjiang Prefecture.
Li Xiucai is an old resident of Heishifang.
Although his ancestors could not be considered high-ranking officials, they were at least capable of being used as cattle and horses for generations.
Although his family could not be said to be extremely wealthy, at least they were insolvent.
For three generations of a family, the main theme is poverty.
In fact, their family was not so poor before. When he was a child, their family did not live in Heishifang, but in another market town which was slightly better than Heishifang, and had their own small home.
Although broken, it is warm.
He is Li Xiucai’s father, Li Dana.
Unwilling to accept his family's fate of being poor, he started a business but his capital chain ran out halfway. In the second half of his life, he felt his lack of knowledge and suffered from the lack of education, so he sold his last fortune and moved to Heishifang.
He used all the money he earned to support Li Xiucai's private school.
This is the best private school they can afford.
Sure enough, knowledge changes destiny.
From then on, they became residents of Heishifang.
After graduating from the university, he still couldn't find a good job, so he could only follow in his father's footsteps and sell wonton noodles in Tongqian Lane to make a living.
When he was in private school, he was the best student in his class, but it was of no use.
A man with the same surname as him named Li Gousheng couldn't even recite the Three Character Classic, and his arithmetic was so bad that even a dog would shake his head. Recently, I heard that he had been hired to guard the city gate.
This is a super lucrative job.
Maybe this is the inheritance.
As the saying goes, like a dragon, like a phoenix, and the son of Wonton Noodles sells Wonton Noodles.
Whenever it rains, Li Xiucai is most worried.
It was raining heavily outside and lightly inside.
After moving out all the water containers in the house, Li Xiucai huddled back to a corner of the small room, curled up and lay down, tightening the thin quilt filled with moldy smell around him, and shivering all over.
He was not a brave man. He heard that there were many evil spirits in the city, but there was nothing he could do.
You can't just run away.
Not to mention the issue of financial livelihood, just talking about the issue of safety, he could come up with the answer by just thinking casually with his mind as a scholar.
Longjiang Prefecture has become a famous city.
No matter how far you run, you won't be able to go. I'm afraid you'll die in some kind of accident not far from the city.
Alas, life is like this, what else can we do? We have to make do with it and live by doing the hard work.
Li Xiucai sighed inwardly and was about to squint his eyes.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning streaked across the night sky, illuminating his leaky home.
He groped his way up to sit up in bed, his body shaking even more violently.
At this moment, his mind began to wander.
When the first thunder sounded, he thought of his grandmother who had died long ago.
When the second thunder sounded, he thought of the delicious boiled pork slices he had eaten during the Chinese New Year.
When the third thunder sounded, he remembered the little home in his memory that didn't leak, broken but warm.
When the fourth thunder sounded, he thought of the several families who had died in the city in one night a few days ago.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The wind suddenly began to howl, and the temperature strangely dropped even lower.
Li Xiucai became even more frightened.
He felt something coming into his house along with the wind and rain.
Snap!
Another flash of lightning streaked across the night sky, illuminating the furnishings in his room.
With the help of the bright light, Li Xiucai took a sneak peek.
Fortunately, everything is normal.
They were still so poor, and their house was so clean that even mice were too lazy to come in. There weren't many strange things in it.
He patted his chest in relief.
At this moment, suddenly a whimpering sound came from the bed.
"Husband, I'm so scared~"
A pair of jade hands appeared from behind and embraced Li Xiucai's chest.
With the help of the light of lightning, Li Xiucai saw the pair of jade hands embracing him.
He said with a sad face: "Madam, I am also very scared~"
"If I remember correctly, I've been the only one left at home, and I haven't married yet~"
Suddenly, the room was swallowed by darkness.
…
…
The next day, the sun rose as usual.
The sun shines all over the earth.
Although the incident of the evil corpse in the Red Dust Inn last night caused quite a stir, it was nothing compared to the huge Longjiang Prefecture.
Under the control of the government, it is like throwing a small stone into a huge lake. The ripples in the center may be bigger, but as they go further away, the movement becomes smaller and smaller, and finally becomes calm.
Of course, as ordinary people, there is no way to be calm.
They only have two choices.
Either run or stay.
However, judging from the current situation, there is still the Zhen'an Division to maintain order in the city, but outside the city is a dark forest.
Therefore, the residents of Longjiang Prefecture all expressed that they were in a stable mood, and there was no panic and escape... Yi Chen pushed open the door, was greeted by the morning sun, and walked out of the room. All the travelers he met on the way, including the waiter, nodded and greeted him in a friendly manner, and he also nodded reservedly.
It's neither too intimate nor too distant, it's just the right balance.
As soon as we went downstairs, Shopkeeper Shen came over with a big smile on his face. In front of him were seven or eight delicious dishes, a pot of good wine, and a box in his hand. It was obvious that he came prepared.
