Yu Xiaolong walked aimlessly around the city and found nothing unusual, so he came to an inn.
"Sir, do you want to stay at the hotel?" A dwarf ghost, only one meter tall, stood on the counter and waved.
"Uh...how much?" Yu Xiaolong asked cautiously as he didn't understand the market here.
"I see that you are also a stranger. Are you from another city? How about this, two hundred coins a day, and you will come often in the future." The dwarf ghost said with a smile.
Yu Xiaolong touched his pocket and felt very embarrassed.
Before leaving, Master Fanqing gave him two thousand nether coins to prepare for emergencies.
But when he entered the city gate to deal with the Yin soldiers guarding the gate, he took out 1,800 ghost coins in a hurry, and now he only had 200 left in his pocket. Now that I have given it to him, it will be difficult if he needs money again.
"Uh...this...I'll just take a look...haha." Yu Xiaolong took out his hand to save face in embarrassment for himself.
Rumplestiltskin looked at him and immediately understood the reason. Just as he was about to say something, there was a "bang" and a chair flew up to the ceiling.
Yu Xiaolong turned around and saw two ghosts, one fat and one thin, standing at the door. They stared with blood-red eyes like copper bells, each carrying a long knife behind them, and smiled ferociously.
"Ouch! Isn't this Master Tang and Master Wu? You two adults, please come in, please come in!" The dwarf ghost jumped down and ran over.
The two ghosts were not polite and sat down, sliding their thick fingers on the table.
"You two have tea!" The dwarf ghost brought the teapot and teacup.
"Don't drink!" The fat ghost waved his hand.
"I'm just here to sit around and do your thing." The thin ghost said with a smile.
The dwarf ghost smiled stupidly and backed away slowly. The two ghosts sat there silently, just grinning.
"Uh... Master Tang and Master Wu, there haven't been many customers recently, and the shop has very little income at all. You two adults, see if you can... haha." The dwarf ghost nodded and said softly.
"Isn't this a guest?" Fatty pointed at Yu Xiaolong and said, "Last month you said wait, my brothers gave you a month's grace, and now you still say no, doesn't it make sense?"
The thin ghost grinned with a blood-red mouth and said: "Boy, I can't help Mr. Tang when he is angry. I even tried to persuade him, saying that your shop has few people, but your continuous arrears are against the rules."
"Yes, I know how hard it is for Mr. Tang, and I also know that it's not easy for Mr. Wu. But I really...can't make ends meet. You two, my dear, please give me another month of grace."
Yu Xiaolong stood there and watched in confusion, wondering what they were up to.
While he was wondering, he suddenly found a ghost waving to him in the back room.
Yu Xiaolong walked over mechanically and asked doubtfully: "Who are you?"
"Sir, please come here quickly, we are probably going to take action today." The ghost whispered.
"Do it? What do you mean? From what they said, it seems that this store is in arrears with rent?" Yu Xiaolong asked.
"What kind of rent! This house belongs to the boss himself, the short man outside. Those two Mr. Tang and Mr. Wu are from the local Zhou family. The shops on this street have to pay tribute to the Zhou family every month. Last time Because I didn’t make much money, I postponed it for a month. No, today is here. This time it must be tough. Either the boss was beaten, or the store was smashed. Hey... It’s not easy for the boss. Everyone who works like me can see it. Don’t go down.” The ghost said while sighing.
"What? I have to pay tribute to them for my own house? Why?" Yu Xiaolong became depressed when he heard this.
"Hey, guest officer, you are not a ghost in this city. The Zhou family is the biggest force in the local area. They bully, cheat, and do all kinds of evil. Every ghost hates them. But there is no way, they are very powerful, and it seems like they are above There are also relatives. Can you tell us what we can do?" the ghost said with a wry smile.
"That's it. No wonder those two guys are not good at first glance!" Yu Xiaolong frowned.
"Shhh... keep your voice down, it will be troublesome if you are heard." The ghost quickly waved his hand.
Looking through the door curtain, I saw that several tables outside had been smashed, and Rumplestiltskin was kneeling on the ground begging to be moved around.
With a "pop" sound, the dwarf ghost flew several meters away.
The fat ghost sneered and said: "I don't know how to flatter you! If you don't have an answer today, don't open this store, hehe.
"Master Tang, Master Tang! I'm begging you, I'm an old man now, and I still have a wife and children at home. Please be merciful to me. I will personally deliver it to you next month!" The dwarf ghost knelt on the ground. cried.
"Be merciful? If you are like this, how can you still do it? Isn't there any way to do it?"
The fat ghost waved his hand, and the long knife flashed past, turning a table into scrap again.
"Master Tang, why bother? It's just a few small coins. It's not good to be angry, hehe." The thin ghost sat there and said angrily.
"Today, I will show these people a lesson and let them know the consequences of defaulting!" The fat ghost kicked a bench off the ground.
There was no one within ten meters outside the store, and everyone stayed away for fear of being affected.
"Made!" Yu Xiaolong clenched his fists and cursed.
The ghost looked at him and said softly: "Sir, if you don't understand, please don't mix it up. You won't get any good results. Although the boss is very pitiful, it's all in vain and we can't help. Hey."
Suddenly, a scream came from outside.
Yu Xiaolong took a look and saw that the fat ghost was grabbing the dwarf ghost by his neck and lifting him into the air. He said viciously: "It seems that I won't be able to survive until I take off your leg today."
The bright long knife was already in the air, and he saw that tragedy was about to happen.
"stop!"
Yu Xiaolong roared and walked out of the back room.
Master Fanqing knew his temper, so he told him not to meddle in his own business. The underworld is very complicated and not much better than the underworld. As a person going down to earth, you must keep a low profile. You must not take action until your life is at stake, let alone reveal your true identity.
But Yu Xiaolong has always been used to fighting injustices, so he couldn't bear it when he encountered something like this today.
The fat ghost and the thin ghost were startled, turned to look this way, and blinked in confusion.
"Put him down!" Yu Xiaolong frowned and roared in a low voice.
The fat ghost didn't react for a moment and subconsciously threw the dwarf ghost to the ground.
"Who are you?" The fat ghost stared at Yu Xiaolong and asked, "You don't look like you are from this city."
"Send your name." The thin ghost still smiled.
Yu Xiaolong stepped forward, helped the dwarf ghost up, and said, "Get out of the way."
The dwarf ghost stood there stunned, and whispered in Xiaolong's ear: "Sir, please leave it alone and leave quickly!"
"Get out of the way, go wherever you want, and let's see who goes today." Yu Xiaolong pushed him away and sneered.
"Oh ho? Master Wu, I haven't seen a fight in a while, hehe." The thin ghost said with a smile.
"What kind of bastard did you come from that doesn't want to live anymore?" the fat ghost asked, raising his long knife.
Yu Xiaolong was furious. If he were in the earth, he would have killed them long ago. But this is the underworld, and on their territory, he still has the task of saving people.
Just now in the back room, he kept silently thinking, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive.
But seeing that Dwarf Ghost was about to be chopped down, Yu Xiaolong couldn't help but rush out.
Now that he was riding a tiger, Yu Xiaolong was thinking about how to solve the problem.
"Where did you come from? I'll chop you up without saying anything!" The fat ghost asked, staring at Yu Xiaolong.
"It's interesting. It's a lot of fun today." The thin ghost said with a smile.
Yu Xiaolong took a long breath, put away his frown, and said with a smile: "Greetings to Master Tang and Master Wu!"
