It was late at night, and Ning Caichen relied on his photographic memory to copy out the account book again.
I have to say, if there are no accidents, he is really the destined protagonist.
But after waiting all night, even if he finished copying the account books again and the oil lamp in his room stayed on all night, Xiaoqian still didn't show up.
At dawn, he returned to Guobei County with disappointment. He had to ask for the account!
However, I didn't know whether the store owner recognized the re-copied account book, so I felt a little uneasy, but I still braved it and entered the gate of Guobei County.
Sure enough, as he expected, the store owner did not approve of the account book he copied because it lacked the other party's fingerprints and signatures.
"Just find a piece of paper, write a few lines, and want real money from me?
dream!
If you want money, bring the account book. As long as you see the deposit I drew and the fingerprint I pressed, I will naturally give you the money.
If not, just go back and forth there!
Our store will not serve you! "
The store owner looked angry and wanted to drive people away. Ning Caichen looked aggrieved: "The most important thing in doing business is integrity. Since you have unpaid debt for half a year, you should settle it."
This is a matter of course, why are you denying it so much? Aren't you afraid that others will poke your spine? "
The shopkeeper snorted coldly: "You just want to take money from me without a ledger, it's just a dream!"
In fact, it’s not that the store is bad.
For this thing, collecting a bill without a ledger is just like asking someone to pay back the money without an IOU. If it is given to you, and you come back to collect it again with the IOU, who will he ask to reason with?
Even if the case is brought to the government, the government can only judge the case based on the IOU!
The same goes for ledgers!
There are fingerprints and signatures on this account book. Every time the goods are handed over, they will be recorded, and then the fingerprints and signatures will be stamped!
This is different from what you copied by hand!
However, the original account book has all been soaked by rainwater and is no longer useful. Can't this account be recovered?
Ning Caichen is anxious!
If the debt cannot be collected, the boss will definitely fire him. This is not negotiable at all!
Because the loss is too great!
If it was just a matter of his own ability and he couldn't recoup the debt, the money would still be there!
However, the account book was lost to him. The account that recorded the transactions with this store. If the store is unwilling to give it and refuses to recognize it without the account book, then the owner will really suffer a loss!
You know, this is half a year's account, a huge amount of money!
Fortunately, according to the rules, every store with business dealings has an exclusive account book.
If the running accounts of all merchants were recorded in one account, then Ning Caichen's employer might go bankrupt if this account book was lost.
But fortunately, only the exclusive account book with this merchant was lost. Although the account cannot be recovered, Ning Caichen's boss will lose a lot of money, but it will not go bankrupt.
This is also a blessing among misfortunes, but Ning Caichen will definitely lose his accounting job and will have to find another way to make a living!
Thinking of this, he turned around and walked out with a slightly heavy step. He felt that the strength in his body had disappeared from this moment, and it was difficult to even lift his legs.
"Your name is Ning Caichen?"
A man stopped him.
Ning Caichen looked up feebly, and a young man with a beautiful face stopped him. Although he was depressed, he stood up straight, clasped his fists and bowed in response: "The student is Ning Caichen. I wonder if you have any advice? ?”
Before the young man in front of him could say anything, the shopkeeper suddenly rushed out, pampered him and saluted him, with an excited expression on his face, even so happy that he was a little incoherent: "Zuo Dutou, you are finally back!
Now that you are back, our life will be much better! "
The enthusiastic store owner stunned Chen Yun who stopped Ning Caichen. How could he be so enthusiastic?
What the hell is this old man?
I am only in my 20s, just a few years old, okay?
However, although he didn't understand why he was suddenly so enthusiastic in the store, he still forgave the store owner for his incoherence and quickly helped him up: "Shopkeeper, don't give me such a big gift!"
Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper insisted on struggling and continued to salute: "The yamen suffered heavy losses, so we recruited yamen servants in the county, and my clan brother went to take the job!
I then got information that no one else knew. That thief had heard that Zuo Dutou had traveled far away, so he dared to attack the county town!
Otherwise, with Zuo Dutou's ability to kill demons and eliminate demons, how could a mere horse thief dare to invade the county!
I also understand that so many families in the county have been destroyed!
It would be nice if you came back, it would be nice if you came back!
As long as you are here, our county can rest easy! "
Just as he was talking, the shopkeeper suddenly woke up and said: "No, you shouldn't be called Zuo Dutou now. You have been promoted to the sixth rank of Baihu Official!"
There are notices posted at the entrance of the county government office!
Ouch, look at my memory! "
After saying that, the store manager wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Chen Yun again. Chen Yun quickly helped him up: "Shop manager, please get up quickly!"
After helping the shopkeeper up, Chen Yun took advantage of the situation and asked, "I saw you and Ning Caichen arguing here just now, and their words were quite fierce. What's going on?
Come and listen to me! "
When Ning Caichen heard that Chen Yun was an official of hundreds of households, he was shocked. How could a sixth-grade official be seen by ordinary people?
The head of a county or the county magistrate is only a seventh-grade official, and there are six grades above him, and then he reaches the sixth-grade official.
And a hundred-household official is a sixth-grade official, and these are all city officials!
He didn't seem to be close to a commoner like him!
We might not meet each other on weekdays, but when she suddenly appeared in front of him, he was stunned and forgot the etiquette he should have!
Unexpectedly, the other party not only knew him, but also cared about the dispute he had just had with the shopkeeper.
Collect the bill!
The shopkeeper knew as soon as he heard this that it would be impossible if he didn't talk about it, so he told the whole story exactly what happened.
"This person doesn't have an account book, but he wants to collect the bill. How do I know that this person is sent by the merchant I cooperate with?
His lack of account books is no different from his lack of IOUs!
If he doesn’t have an account book now, and I give him money and goods, and the merchant I cooperate with comes back later and comes back with the account book, do I have to give it to him again?
That's why I refused his attempt to collect the bill!
Without him, you can protect yourself!
However, if you know each other and are your friends, then there is nothing to say, I will give you the money right away! "
The shopkeeper said it very enthusiastically, and he immediately planned to get the money without any hesitation.
But Chen Yun stopped the shopkeeper: "When you cooperate with others, you must have ledgers. Ning Caichen said that the ledgers were soaked in the rain. I believe him!"
However, if the new account book he wrote out by himself is correct, you only need to compare it with your old account book to know whether it is true or false.
If you are worried that after he collects it, the merchant you cooperate with will collect it again.
Then, I will guarantee him once!
how? "
The shopkeeper originally wanted to let it go and take the risk himself. The last time Ning Caichen took out the account book that was soaked by the rain, it was very likely that it was actually that account book.
I also have the stub account book, but I am not afraid that the accounts will not match up. What I am afraid of is that the other party will take the account twice!
Since there are now hundreds of masters as guarantors, they can certainly be trusted!
Ning Caichen didn't expect that this young and outrageous master of hundreds of households would actually help him solve the problem without saying a few words.
He quickly took out the new account book he wrote silently and handed it over. The shopkeeper took it and went inside to compare the accounts.
Only then did Ning Caichen have time to salute Chen Yun deeply: "Student Ning Caichen has met Mr. Baihu, and thanks Mr. Baihu for lending a helping hand and saving the student's livelihood!
If the ledger is lost this time and the money cannot be retrieved, the student will have no choice but to lose his job and have no food or clothing when he returns!
The student thanks Master Baihu again for his great kindness! "
Chen Yun smiled and waved his hands, carefully looking at Ning Caichen in front of him. He had to say that he was indeed handsome enough to attract the favor of the female ghost Nie Xiaoqian!
At this time, he is a bit naive, so it is easier for women to get close to him!
Coupled with the fact that this is A Chinese Ghost Story, the fateful protagonist in the plot, it is natural for people to like it.
The saying that a person who has attained the Dao will get more help does not depend on how high his virtue is, but on who has this destiny. Otherwise, why would Yan Chixia, who met by chance, have to chase him all the way from Lanruo Temple to the county town to rescue him?
"No need to be too polite, the money should be given to you, because I know you are really here to collect the bill!
But after getting the money, there must be no less notes to write, no deposits to be drawn, and no fingerprints to be pressed!
If you are greedy for this money, even if I chase you back to your hometown, I will arrest you!
Do you know? "
Chen Yun said what he should say, otherwise he would help others inexplicably, which might put a lot of pressure on the other person, and it would be really inexplicable!
For example, now Ning Caichen has noticed that he is inexplicable: "This is natural, this is natural, but I'm sorry for the students, I don't know how Master Baihu knows that I am Ning Caichen, and how does he know that I am really here to collect the debt?" of?
Could it be that big beard? "
Chen Yun chuckled and did not answer him. He just stood quietly, waiting for the shopkeeper to check the account book and take out the money.
Then, Chen Yun personally wrote an insurance policy after the accounts of both parties were settled, and then both parties signed a pledge on the policy. Together with himself, he made sure that Ning Caichen had taken away the money from the account, and then left.
Ning Caichen was not given a chance to thank him, but he was left feeling confused.
Inexplicably, Ning Caichen finally let luck or destiny lead him to the road to Lanruo Temple again.
Deep down in his heart, he may still be looking forward to meeting that beautiful and charming woman again, perhaps he should be called the female ghost named Xiaoqian.
Chen Yun followed from a distance in the air.
Now, his mount in the air is no longer the paper-folded crane, but a flying puppet made from the body of the Shrike Bird Demon.
It has to be said that after being refined into a flying puppet according to the method given in the scroll of the Book of Mountains and Seas, the body of this shrike bird demon is like a magic weapon, which can be big or small.
At its maximum, it can carry more than 10 people. Although it is not as big as the golden-winged roc, which is as big as the clouds hanging from the sky and can be thousands of miles away, for Chen Yun, a flying puppet that can carry time and people is also a piece of cake for him. A very good flying magic weapon.
When it is smallest, it can shrink to the size of a red date and fly out to see the situation with its eyes.
Although these eyes are not as good as those of an eagle, which can be seen thousands of meters away, but as a small carnivorous bird of prey, its eyesight is not bad.
It's very useful for reconnaissance.
Therefore, Chen Yun could leisurely sit above the white clouds and observe how Ning Caichen on the ground fell into the scope of Nalanruo Temple at dusk.
Moreover, whether it was a mistake or God's arrangement, he actually turned a corner when he entered Lanruo Temple and accidentally walked into the lair of the tree demon.
And he also successfully entered Nie Xiaoqian's boudoir!
This couldn't be more of a coincidence, it's not reasonable at all, but it happened!
If he makes one mistake, Ning Caichen may be sucked into a mummy with no flesh and blood, leaving only a skinny bone, and he will stay in this dark forest forever.
But he didn't. Compared to himself, Chen Yun felt that maybe it wasn't him who was lucky, but Ning Caichen.
He actually saw Nie Xiaoqian and watched them chatting with each other in the room. Chen Yun, who was suspended high in the sky, had a disgusting look on his face.
Then, there is the most classic plot.
The tree demon grandma arrived, took out the handkerchief left by Nie Xiaoqian to persuade Ning Caichen to leave the writing, and beat her half to death in a rage.
If she hadn't been betrothed to the old demon from Montenegro, he might have killed or swallowed her that day.
During this period, in order to prevent other female ghosts and dryad grandmothers from noticing Ning Caichen's strange aura, Nie Xiaoqian directly soaked him in the tub and gave him a wet French kiss.
It had to be said that Chen Yun was convinced that even with the wings of his own butterfly, there was a high probability that the plot would not change much.
Finally I know why Yan Chixia can easily control the tree demon grandma in the plot. It turns out that the tree demon grandma suffered a big loss on her body and is now seriously injured and has not yet recovered.
Otherwise, how could Yan Chixia, a half-bucket of water, be hurt.
Finally, the plot he had been waiting for came.
Grandma Dryad is very sensitive to the scent of strangers, especially in the territory it controls.
The moment Ning Caichen climbed out of the bathtub, to the ghosts, the tempting scent of strangers was like a bright light in the dark night, clear and flamboyant.
Even ordinary ghosts can feel this aura, let alone a thousand-year-old monster like the Dryad Granny.
As a result, the entire jungle rioted, and countless tree roots were like snakes and tongues, entangled fiercely.
Nie Xiaoqian's expression changed greatly, and she was about to fly out with Ning Caichen in her arms, but she was just a female ghost, how could she escape from the hands of the thousand-year-old tree demon grandma?
Chen Yun was watching the show from a distance in the sky because he saw Yan Chixia flying over.
Then I saw the famous scene, where Yan Chixia negotiated with the thousand-year-old tree demon grandma. It was quite a child's play, but it ended in failure.
Still measure the opponent's strength and status with fists.
However, Yan Chixia's playful expression finally made Chen Yun burst into laughter!
So, there was a tense situation down there, and everyone, either ghosts or demons, looked up together.
