Chapter 346: Ulterior Motives
On the way back from Archie's house, Jade Qiang didn't know why he lost his temper with me, and the Venerable Master Hongyu said that the dragon had reverse scales, and I must have touched its reverse scales.
This jade is just like a jade carving, I can't see where it grows scales, but anyway, since it can lose its temper with me, I really have to be careful with it in the future.
The dead ghost Li Yuchi reminded me that the reason why the jade calf followed me was because the string of five-element stones it was wearing under its neck was mine, and if I could get another ornament or something like that under the stone, this jade calf would like it more, and of course it would obey me more.
I thought of the jade cicada at that time, which was what the jade chan liked very much at that time, and refused to let me take it off, but the dead ghost Li Yuchi was angry, and I knew that he didn't want to stay with the jade cicada.
I had no intention of treating Li Yuchi, but I liked this jade so much that I thought about taking out the jade cicada to put it on the jade tree, and the jade was happy, but Li Yuchi was already angry, he yelled, saying that he would not let me put it on the jade dragon.
The ghost king opened his mouth on the side: "Of course he doesn't want you to put it on the jade, little girl, you have to think clearly, if this is worn on the jade, this ghost brother of yours will belong to the jade." ”
"What, put it on and it will be it?" I looked at the Ghost King curiously, this is something I didn't expect, if so, of course Li Yuchi is unwilling.
The ghost king nodded seriously, this time I won't fight with Li Yuchi, I can't give him away just because of a small pet, although he is not affiliated with me, I can't just let him become a jade retinue.
Seeing that I took the jade cicada back, the jade chanted in disappointment, turned his head and ignored me, it was really greedy, and it would be angry if it didn't give it away, but this really can't be given to it, I'd better find a way to get something else for it to use as a pendant.
I wanted to go back to Liu Xiaoxiao, the hotel must be short of manpower now, I have to help, but the Venerable Master Hongyu said that it was so late, I better not go, it is better to go to him and accompany him for a Lantern Festival.
This makes me embarrassed, it stands to reason that I didn't say anything about accompanying my master for the Lantern Festival, but what Liu Xiaoxiao lacks now is manpower, how can I not go over to help her.
After explaining for a long time, Master Hongyu sent me back to my small apartment, saying that it was so late that I should not go, my small apartment was closer to the hotel, and I would go there by myself tomorrow.
Back in the apartment, I cleaned up and rested, and just as I was about to turn off the light, I heard the gurgling sound in the eyes of the jade dragon, and I looked over and saw that it was facing my drawer.
When I opened the drawer, I saw that my little golden mouse was inside, and it was the same little golden mouse that had been used by the Venerable Master Hongyu, and when I saw that the eyes of the jade were always staring at it, I took it out and hung it on the string of stones around its neck.
I looked at it, the gold chain hanging the little golden mouse was empty, just used to hang the jade cicada, this time the dead ghost Li Yu will not care about me anymore What color of the string will tie the jade cicada.
After setting up the jade, I went to rest, this night I slept very soundly, although I always felt that I heard the roar of the jade, but I couldn't open my eyes, just like playing with the jade in a dream.
Because I was in a hurry to go to Liu Xiaoxiao's place, I set a ringtone on my mobile phone, and as soon as the bell rang, I got up, and when I saw Yu Xiao looking at me listlessly, I wondered when it was so unenergetic.
I rushed out after packing up, there is a lot of work in the hotel, I have to hurry, just rushed out of the door, I heard the dead ghost Li Yuchi shouting to me, I forgot his little home in the house, I hurriedly went back to get the jade cicada.
"You two are really good, one has been messing with a mouse for the night and not letting people sleep well, and the other has left someone's house behind, if something happens, it depends on what you use to protect yourself." Li Yuchi chattered.
At this time, I was in a hurry to run out, where I had time to pay attention to him, he could say whatever he liked, and I didn't even listen carefully.
Now is the time of shyness in my pocket, I am reluctant to take a taxi, take the bus to get there, this way is groggy, I don't know who has passed around me.
When I was rushing towards the hotel, a big hand slapped me on the shoulder, and I turned my head to look, but it was Brother Liu, the creditor of Liu Xiaoxiao's family.
"Brother Liu, it's early." I casually dealt with him.
"Little girl, you are so diligent, can I delay you for a while and find a place to have breakfast." Brother Liu, the creditor, asked me with a wicked smile.
Looking for a place to have breakfast, with him? This made people feel a little strange, I pointed to him and said, "Well, if you have time, you can come to our hotel, this is not all going to the door." ”
"What I'm going to say isn't very convenient in your hotel, so let's find a place to talk about it." Brother Liu said and pulled me up and left.
What kind of rhythm is this, is there such a thing as him, if I shout now, will anyone call the police, if I call the police, can Sister Xiaoxiao not have to pay back his money, a series of thoughts flashed in my mind, and at this time he had already pulled me into a food stall next to me.
I was discouraged when I entered the food stall, it was useless to shout anything here, in public, people just wanted me to talk to him about things.
"What's the matter, you can tell me." I sat on a plastic stool and tapped my fingers on the table to ask him.
"Eat first, then talk about things." Brother Liu glanced at me and began to call for food.
Sitting with him, can I afford to eat this meal, but how can a big boss like him come to this kind of food stall to eat, in my impression, a rich man like him has to find a similar place to eat.
He skillfully ordered two servings of porridge, a drawer of steamed buns, and two servings of fried eggs, and it seemed that he often came to such places to eat.
I shook my head, and he immediately told the waiter that it was enough, and said that if I didn't have enough, I would go back to my shop to find something to eat.
I was dizzy, was he inviting me to breakfast, but he glanced at me: "I'm saving you money." ”
"What, do you want me to have a treat, I don't have any money." I pursed my mouth, he pulled me in, and asked me to pay the bill, I thought it was beautiful.
"You don't have money, how can you be a big boss without money." He looked as disdainful as I was the one who owed him money.
"My money, my money is all put in Sister Xiaoxiao, ready to repay your Hades debt." I glanced at him, don't talk to me well, will I say nice things to you, I said to him angrily.
"What Hades debt, will you speak, let me tell you, I heard some gossip in your shop, that's why I pulled you here, it stands to reason that I shouldn't have said this, but I also know that the money earned by this restaurant is used to pay off my account, so I have to look for you and give you a reminder." He took the bowl of porridge handed by the waiter and took a sip.
"What gossip?" I love to take the pair of pairs quickly and break them hard.
"Let me tell you, there are many people who say that your restaurant is haunted, and even the waiters and cooks there have run away." He said to me as he drank his porridge.
That's it, my sister already knew whether it was good or not, and he came to me as a piece of news, and Baba told me seriously: "Who do you listen to this, if there is no waiter, no chef, then what kind of restaurant do we open, it has been closed a long time ago, don't listen to other people's nonsense, we all know that we have been good from the New Year to the present, so I let out this outside wind, that is to take our store, pink eye." ”
I deliberately said it to him, in order to make him quieter, although he was looking for trouble with us, how to say that people are also creditors, but he is serious, it seems that he is really concerned: "I said you don't take it seriously, whether it's true or not, it's not good for your store, if you can't make it, you will really fall on this, don't say I'm not a friend enough, I didn't remind you." ”
"Well, I know, this business will inevitably have opponents, Sister Xiaoxiao has long been resistant, how many years has she been in business, and she is still afraid of this." I was not convinced, but in my heart I wondered who was behind the scenes.
"Liu Xiaoxiao! Yan Xinlai's wife is powerful, but after all, she is a woman, if she can, the antique store will not fall like this. The creditor Brother Liu said casually.
He actually said this Liu Xiaoxiao, when I am from his family, I put the chopsticks in my hand into the porridge bowl and started a fire at him: "Hey, look at whether I am a man or a woman, what is a woman, if it weren't for the urgency of you debtors, can you toss the antique store here, you don't look at who the object is." ”
Seeing that I was anxious, he laughed: "Ouch, why did I forget this, you are Liu Xiaoxiao's mother's family, but I said that you are really angry, I don't treat you as an outsider for the sake of our surname Liu." ”
What a mess, I put the chopsticks down: "I don't care what those people outside say, you shut your mouth for me, if this restaurant falls again, you will smash the bones of Sister Xiaoxiao and the two of them, and they won't be able to pay back your money, do you know or not." ”
Seeing that I was angry, he smiled even more: "What's the matter, you still want to repay the debt, let me tell you, I am really not afraid of you defaulting on the debt, I know that Yan Xinlai has their ancestral treasure in his hand, it is this antique shop, he is not willing to take it out to the town store, if this restaurant falls, he can only take out this thing and return it to me." ”
I was there all of a sudden, does Liu Xiaoxiao's husband still have something in his hand, I don't know anything about this, how did he know, no wonder he can tolerate Liu Xiaoxiao and the money they owe him will not be repaid for the time being, it turns out that he is not well-intentioned.
Liu Xiaoxiao's husband is still reluctant to take out the baby, it must be something he regards as the tip of his heart, no matter what this thing is, I have to help him keep it.
Thinking of this, I rolled my eyes, picked up the chopsticks again, and looked at him with a smile on my face: "What you said is true, if you know what it is, I'll help you get it." ”
