Upon hearing the strange noise, Bai Zhantang, Lu Xiucai and Mo Xiaobei all fled and hid themselves.
In order not to arouse suspicion, Xiang Nan quickly got under the table.
After a while, two cat meows came from outside the house.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he laughed and said, "A cat scared you like this. Come out, come out, stop pouting."
After hearing this, Xiang Nan and Lu Xiucai came out of their hiding places.
Only Bai Zhantang still took Mo Xiaobei and hid him under the table, and he lived up to his reputation as the cowardly boss of the three Tongfu trio.
"Let me go, let me go." Mo Xiaobei struggled.
"Danger, danger." Bai Zhantang held on tightly.
"I'll bite you if you don't let me go." Mo Xiaobei gasped and bit Bai Zhantang's hand.
"Oh, my God, shopkeeper, look at your sister-in-law." Bai Zhantang felt in pain and said to the shopkeeper, aggrieved.
"You have to be cheap. If my brother was still alive, he would have come over with a sword." Mo Xiaobei curled his lips and crawled out from under the table.
"What are you talking about? It's not big or small." The shopkeeper reminded.
"Sister-in-law, you just talk about me and I don't talk about him." Mo Xiaobei complained.
"Shopkeeper, if nothing happens, I'll go cook." Xiang Nan suggested.
He knew that the so-called male and female evil spirits were not bad people at all. One is Guo Furong, the daughter of Guo Juxia, and the other is her personal maid Xiaoqing.
"Sit down." The shopkeeper waved his hand and said, "Let me tell you, our town has been plagued by these male and female evil spirits recently, making people panic and frightened. You must be careful."
"What have they done?" Xiucai asked curiously.
"The girl from the Zhao family in Zuojiazhuang is such a good person, but she is a bit ugly. She finally got married, and she was so excited that her eyes filled with tears..." the shopkeeper explained.
"While he was crying, the male and female evil spirits fell from the sky and beat the groom violently. While beating him back, he said, we are doing justice for heaven." Bai Zhantang continued.
"The groom has never shown his face since then. The Zhao girl cried every day. She cried so much that she almost went blind." The shopkeeper added.
The two of them sang together, really like a husband singing and a wife following suit.
Hearing what they said, Lu Xiucai and Mo Xiaobei both frowned, and were very dissatisfied with what the male and female evil spirits had done.
Only Xiang Nan knew that the reason why Guo Furong and Xiao Qing beat the groom violently was because they saw the bride crying too hard and mistakenly thought that the bridegroom was robbing her of her bride, so they stopped her.
…
"Dr. Xue from Shibalipu, what a good person. He was treating beggars that day with cupping..." Bai Zhantang said again.
"As soon as the fire was lit, male and female evil spirits descended from the sky, punching and kicking them. While beating them, they said that we were doing justice for heaven," the shopkeeper said again.
"After they finished practicing, Divine Doctor Xue fell seriously ill. He closed his clinic and never treated people again." Bai Zhantang finally said.
"Oh, it's really disgusting." Mo Xiaobei complained.
Only Xiang Nan knew that the reason why Guo Furong and Xiao Qing beat up Doctor Xue was because they misunderstood that he lit the fire to burn the beggar, so they attacked in anger.
"Uncle Ge Sanshu on the Xiliang River, what a good man he is. As long as he is not fishing, he will ferry people across the river for free. He just loaded a boatload of people that day, and male and female evil spirits fell from the sky and attacked them for a while. Punch, kick, and talk while beating..." the shopkeeper continued.
"Do justice for heaven?!" the scholar answered.
The shopkeeper nodded and said, "The ship was scuttled after finishing the journey."
"After that, if you want to cross the river again, you will have to walk an extra fifty miles." Bai Zhantang said sadly and angrily. He was the victim.
Only Xiang Nan knew that the reason why Guo Furong and Xiao Qing attacked Ge Sanshu was because they saw him driving people across the river without accepting payment and misunderstood him as a river pirate.
"That's not all. The salesman from Balizhuang, the hunter from Black Wind Ridge..." the shopkeeper counted on his fingers.
"The locksmith from Baishiqiao, the woodcutter from Weigong Village..." Bai Zhantang added to her.
"As long as you are a good person, you will not be able to escape if you are touched by them." The shopkeeper finally came to the conclusion.
Xiang Nan was also speechless for a while.
I feel that Guo Furong and Ding Xie are really similar. They both have force but no brains, and they are also paranoid about persecution. They regard everyone as a bad guy and only they are absolutely righteous.
When trouble comes, he acts recklessly without knowing how to think. He beats people just to do justice for heaven. Not only does he feel no guilt, but he is complacent. Fortunately, she was left at Tongfu Inn, otherwise she would have caused as much trouble as Ding Xie in the future if she had followed her way of doing things.
…
"The more I talk about it, the more terrifying it becomes. Shopkeeper, why don't we light the lantern at the door." Bai Zhantang suggested.
"No, I didn't light up the lights in the first place because I wanted to give them the illusion that there is no one in our store, or to scare them that our store is a black shop." Tong Xiangyu waved his hands.
"You think they're not really going to harm us, right?" Lu Xiucai felt a little embarrassed when he heard what she said.
"Oh, if we continue to make trouble like this, we will starve to death if we are not scared to death." Bai Zhantang sighed, "There have been few customers in the store for so many days."
"It's a blessing, not a curse, but you can't avoid it." Tong Xiangyu also said sadly, "If I really have some shortcomings, you can help me raise little Bella..."
"Sister-in-law~" Mo Xiaobei felt sad and threw himself into her arms and cried.
Lu Xiucai and Bai Zhantang also hugged each other and comforted each other.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan also lay on the table, pretending to be sad.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, which shocked everyone.
"Is there anyone there?" Someone asked outside the door.
"No one." Bai Zhantang replied subconsciously. Only after replying did he realize that he had revealed his secret.
If there is really no one, how can anyone talk?
"Zhantang, it's time to test you." Tong Xiangyu looked at him and said.
Lu Xiucai, Mo Xiaobei, and Xiang Nan also looked at him, and Bai Zhantang suddenly felt great pressure.
"Why is it me?" Bai Zhantang said depressedly.
"Because we have never been in the world of martial arts, and we don't have as much experience as you. Don't be afraid, we are all here." The shopkeeper explained, and then pushed Bai Zhantang to the door.
Lu Xiucai, Mo Xiaobei, and Xiang Nan all followed behind to help them stand up and cheer.
"Who is it?" Bai Zhantang asked boldly.
"Me." The person outside the door responded.
"Who am I?" Bai Zhantang continued to ask.
"How do I know who you are?" the person outside the door replied, "Open the door!"
"Oh my god, he doesn't know who I am." Bai Zhantang immediately panicked.
"Just say that we have already entered the foreign market." Seeing how panicked he was, the shopkeeper quickly gave instructions.
"Tong Xiangyu said that we have already gone abroad." Bai Zhantang said immediately.
"Who is Tong Xiangyu?" the person outside the door asked.
"We are the shopkeeper." Bai Zhantang explained. Only after he finished speaking did he realize he regretted it, "Oh my god, I let it slip."
Tong Xiangyu was so angry that he pinched his arm when his identity was revealed.
