"Shopkeeper Tong, what you said is wrong. As the only head catcher in this town, Xing can't just protect your family, right?" Lao Xing said immediately with a serious look on his face.
Lao Xing's words were righteous. If the shopkeeper and Lao Bai hadn't been familiar with his temperament, someone else might have been fooled by him.
"Old Xing, do you listen to me?" Shopkeeper Tong said quickly and softly.
"Don't say anything. Xing is on official business and can't stay for a long time. I'll leave Xiaoliu to everyone first. I'll come over tomorrow and take him to see Lou Magistrate. Say goodbye!" As he said this, Lao Xing clasped his fists and planned to run away.
"Lao Xing, listen to me!" Shopkeeper Tong dragged Lao Xing tightly and refused to let him go.
The quarrel at the door instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the store. Xiaoliu and Dazui rushed to the door to see what was going on.
Shopkeeper Tong was seen holding Lao Xing tightly, refusing to let him leave.
"do not go!"
"I have to go!"
"do not go!"
"I have to go!"
. . . . . .
Looking at this familiar scene, Xiaoliu suddenly smiled knowingly. This is the first scene of the opening scene of Wulin Gaiden!
Lao Xing looked at Shopkeeper Tong who was holding him tightly and sighed. "Shopkeeper Tong, the matter has come to an end, let us all settle down to our destiny!"
"I don't. If you dare to leave, I will die for you!"
Shopkeeper Tong pulled Lao Xing tightly, his tone was extremely firm, as if he really wanted to force him to death.
"Shopkeeper Tong, why are you doing this?" Lao Xing looked at Shopkeeper Tong like this and couldn't help but shook his head.
"It's not bitter! If I can't keep your heart, I will keep your people." Shopkeeper Tong looked at Lao Xing with a sad face.
Looking at the two people's separation of life and death, people who didn't know it thought it was a touching love story.
Lao Xing resolutely pushed away shopkeeper Tong's hand.
"Then, what if people can't be kept?"
Shopkeeper Tong looked at Lao Xing's resolute look and knew that being soft was of no use, so he could only use something hard.
Her expression changed, she patted Lao Xing's arm and smiled evilly.
"Then please pay for last month's drinks!"
After speaking, shopkeeper Tong turned around and gave instructions to Lao Bai and others.
"Abacus at your service!"
As soon as he heard the shopkeeper's words, Xiucai quickly passed the abacus on the counter, one person to another, and the abacus was quickly passed to the shopkeeper's hand. Even Xiao Liu subconsciously passed it on.
"Seven taels of Fenjiu, seven or eight and fifty-six."
After taking the abacus, shopkeeper Tong quickly started to calculate, and while doing the calculations, he was mumbling it, as if he wanted to read it specifically to Xing Captou.
Seeing shopkeeper Tong like this, Lao Xing couldn't help but feel a little dizzy. What bothered him the most was money, so he quickly interrupted.
"Shopkeeper Tong, shopkeeper Tong, we have to be reasonable, right?"
Shopkeeper Tong looked at Lao Xing with an innocent face. "Why am I not being reasonable?"
Lao Xing said with a serious face. "The male and female evil spirits are causing such a fierce quarrel. The entire town of Seven Heroes is in turmoil, and everyone is in danger. I, a ninth-grade headhunter in garb, can't just protect your family, right?"
Lao Xing's words were so upright that even the protected persons Xiucai, Da Zui and Xiao Bei nodded their heads.
"That's right!" Shopkeeper Tong nodded and admitted that Lao Xing was right.
"That's right!"
Seeing that Shopkeeper Tong agreed with what he said, Lao Xing thought that Shopkeeper Tong had given in. He quickly smiled and was about to pat Shopkeeper Tong on the shoulder. However, before he could do anything, he saw Shopkeeper Tong continuing to fiddle with his abacus.
"Seven taels of Fenjiu, seventy-eight fifty-six..."
Seeing Shopkeeper Tong's arrogant look, Lao Xing became a little angry. He quickly interrupted Shopkeeper Tong's actions and said angrily.
"Okay, okay, you still have to finish it, it's almost done!"
The interrupted shopkeeper Tong looked at the angry Lao Xing, with a frightened look on his face, and apologized in a low voice.
"I'm sorry! I was wrong."
Looking at shopkeeper Tong who was finally willing to admit his mistake, Lao Xing nodded with satisfaction and smiled.
"Do you know what's wrong?"
While asking, Lao Xing took advantage of the situation and put his hand on Shopkeeper Tong's shoulder, as if he wanted to wait for Shopkeeper Tong to tell her where she made a mistake, and then comfort her, so as to show her big belly.
But to Lao Xing's expectation, shopkeeper Tong chuckled and shook off his hand, saying with a sinister smile.
"The mistake is, Nuerhong is seven taels, Fenjiu is eight taels, eight, eight, sixty-four, seventy-nine sixty-three, you have to add five more."
Hearing what Shopkeeper Tong said, Lao Xing's face changed.
'My dear mother, this extra money is almost enough to cover his two months' salary. How can he afford it? And why didn’t other customers find it so expensive? Where is this black shop? Just wait for him with a condom! '
Looking at the stunned Lao Xing, this time it was shopkeeper Tong's turn to put his hand on his shoulder.
Shopkeeper Tong looked at Lao Xing with a smile, waiting for Lao Xing to give in to her.
But who is Lao Xing? At this critical moment, Lao Xing used his special skill of pressing the bottom of the box.
I saw Lao Xing with a serious look on his face, and suddenly said in surprise.
"Murderous!"
After saying this, Lao Xing still leaned over and carefully guarded his surroundings.
Seeing Lao Xing's serious appearance, coupled with the fact that it was dark at this time and the male and female evil spirits had been making such a big fuss recently, everyone was frightened by Lao Xing.
Even Lao Bai and Xiao Liu were observing their surroundings carefully.
Shopkeeper Tong lay in Lao Xing's arms in fear, looked around carefully, and asked fearfully. "Where?"
Lao Xing said seriously. "Both male and female evil spirits, specializing in falling in love!"
As he spoke, he pointed to the rooftop opposite.
Everyone quickly looked in the direction he pointed, but it was still dark and they saw nothing.
"Over there, over there, over there, over there, stop!" Lao Xing became more serious as he pointed, and finally chased after him.
Shopkeeper Tong followed him out of fear.
The rest of the people were worried about the safety of the two of them, so they also followed.
Seeing so many people running after him, Lao Xing thought that this was not the solution, so he quickly turned around and pointed.
"Over there!"
When everyone saw that Lao Xing was pointing behind them, they quickly stopped and looked back in fear, but what they saw was nothing but darkness.
"Why can't I see anything?" Shopkeeper Tong, who was closest to Lao Xing, asked in confusion.
Lao Xing waved his hand and said when he saw shopkeeper Tong's eyes widening in confusion, trying to see clearly but seeing nothing.
"Don't look, they are all wearing night clothes."
"Oh!" Shopkeeper Tong responded clearly, but she suddenly reacted and asked doubtfully.
"Then how did you see it?"
"It feels like it!" Xing Captou replied seriously.
But after hearing what Mr. Xing said, the shopkeeper rolled his eyes at him, thinking that she had been deceived by Mr. Xing.
But before the shopkeeper could react, Xing Baotou quickly pulled out the official knife from his waist and roared.
"Little thief, where are you running!" Then he rushed out.
Lao Xing drew a knife and rushed around, but no one dared to follow him.
In addition, through what he said just now, everyone also knew that all the murderous intent and so on were all made up by Lao Xing.
Seeing Lao Xing disappear in a flash, no one paid attention to him.
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
They knew that Lao Xing was unreliable, and the reason why they wanted him to stay was just to use his official uniform and official sword to frighten both male and female evil spirits and make them afraid.
But among all of them, Xiaoliu was the most depressed. His master ran away without saying a word, leaving him here alone. What was going on?
You know, the accounts had just been settled, and his master owed so much wine money. If it hadn't been for Tongfu Inn, he would have suspected that he was being used to pay off the debt.
Shopkeeper Tong looked at Xiao Liu's speechless appearance and knew what he was thinking. Thinking of Xiao Liu's tragic experience, she quickly comforted him warmly.
"Xiao Liu, don't think too much. We have been good friends with your master for many years. Today, you will stay with us. After you complete the formalities tomorrow, you can then move to the county government office."
With that said, shopkeeper Tong also gave instructions to Lao Bai beside him.
"Zhantang, go and get a guest room for Xiao Liu so that he can have a good rest. By the way, bring a basin of bath water and give Xiao Liu a good wash. Then he can go to see Lou Magistrate tomorrow dressed cleanly."
"Hey, okay." Lao Bai responded quickly.
Xiao Liu felt warm in his heart when he saw Shopkeeper Tong making such thoughtful arrangements.
No wonder everyone says that Shopkeeper Tong is the best in Qixia Town. This is not unreasonable, because she can make you feel a kind of sincere care.
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Tong." Xiao Liu thanked him sincerely.
"Thank you, come on, come in quickly, I'll take you to the guest room." Shopkeeper Tong said to Xiao Liu gently.
With that said, shopkeeper Tong personally took Xiao Liu to the guest room, Lao Bai went to boil water, and Xiucai and Da Zui started to clear the table. Xiaobei helped them clean up.
Xiucai, Dazui and Xiaobei saw that the shopkeeper was so enthusiastic towards Xiaoliu. Although they felt a little strange, they didn't think much about it. After all, sometimes the shopkeeper was quite nice.
Of course, in addition to seeing money, there is also time to pay wages and take care of them.
Xiaoliu followed Shopkeeper Tong up the legendary century-old staircase to the second floor.
When Xiao Liu arrived on the second floor, he realized that this second floor was different from what he had seen on TV before.
In addition to the first room on the second floor, which is shopkeeper Tong's bedroom, there are several guest rooms at the back.
And there is a corner at the end, and there should be rooms there. This is completely different from the second floor with only two rooms in the TV show.
But yes, if there are really only two guest rooms, why should we open an inn? We can just open a restaurant instead.
In addition, Xiao Liu also saw the ladder at the corner, which should be the ladder leading to the roof.
"Come on, Xiao Liu, do you like this guest room?" Shopkeeper Tong led Xiao Liu to the third guest room.
Xiao Liu looked at the guest room next to him. If he guessed correctly, that guest room should generally not accommodate guests.
After all, Shopkeeper Tong's room is next door, and there is no sound insulation in ancient houses. What if someone with ulterior motives eavesdrops on the corner, and Shopkeeper Tong is still a young girl.
In other words, this is the guest room closest to Shopkeeper Tong.
Xiaoliu followed Shopkeeper Tong into the room. It must be said that this guest room is quite large, about twenty or thirty square meters, which is larger than some modern hotel rooms.
And the items inside are all antique, such as screens, cabinets, vases, everything, even a toilet.
The only bad thing is that there is no bed, just a couch, made of wood and hard.
The shopkeeper took Xiao Liu around and looked around, and because he knew that he came from the countryside and might not understand some things, he also specially handed him the usage and details of some things, such as flints and fire pleats.
This was a big help to Xiaoliu who came from modern times.
"How are you, are you satisfied? Although no one has lived in this house for a long time, Lao Bai and the others have kept it very clean." The shopkeeper took Xiao Liu around and asked with a smile.
"Well, satisfied, very satisfied. Shopkeeper Tong, I don't know how to thank you." Xiao Liu said gratefully.
Looking at Xiao Liu's well-behaved appearance, the shopkeeper couldn't help but feel overflowing with motherly love. She looked at Xiao Liu's somewhat messy collar, got up and tidied it up for Xiao Liu, and said with a smile.
"As long as you serve as a good detective and protect the people in the town from living and working in peace and contentment, then you will be the greatest thank you to me."
"Yes, I will definitely do it!" Xiao Liu promised categorically. At this moment, he felt a sense of responsibility.
"Well, I believe you. Okay, it's getting late, you should have a good rest. By the way, the exhibition hall will fetch water for you to take a bath later. Do you have a change of clothes?" the shopkeeper asked with concern.
"I have it!" Xiao Liu said as he raised the package he was carrying.
"Okay, then I'll leave first. If you need anything, you can call us."
After saying that, the shopkeeper exited the room and closed the door.
Xiao Liu watched the shopkeeper leave, looked at the antique furniture around him, and then thought about what he had experienced in the past few days, he couldn't help but shake his head. He still feels a little strange. Is all this true? ?
