Chapter 143 Losing Face
The cold wind howled, and the mountain tops were particularly desolate in the dark night.
The faint smell of blood and decay drifted down the mountain wind, causing the pretty female ghost below to frown.
Normally, Xiaoli would have run as far as she could.
This time she was looking straight at the man on the top of the mountain who was soothed by the moonlight.
Cheng Long stood on the top of the mountain, like an immortal demon god, with infinite power contained in his strong body. At his feet, zombies with their heads cut off were decaying rapidly and exuding an unpleasant stench.
"Why did it corrupt so quickly?"
Cheng Long frowned, then swayed, pulling out a long shadow in place, flying down from the mountain.
"Why don't you leave?"
"Sir, you asked me to look at the iron gun, how could I leave at will?"
Xiaoli held the gun in both hands, looking like she was determined to accomplish her mission, obedient and obedient, trying her best to appear as harmless as possible. Some big shots would fall for this trick.
"Not bad, quite discerning!"
He looked Xiaoli up and down.
Cheng Long said with a bad smile: "I still lack a spearman by my side, I wonder if you..."
Whoosh!
The words have not yet fallen.
Xiaoli, who had been showing her loyalty just now, suddenly disappeared without a trace. The unsupported iron gun immediately fell towards Cheng Long.
"What's wrong with being a ghost attendant for me? You can also practice the Taiyin Mysterious Sutra and hopefully become an immortal!" Cheng Long curled his lips, grabbed the overturned iron gun and put it into the storage column.
He didn't care that Xiaoli escaped. He was accompanied by the knowledgeable and talented Teacher Bai, which made him not very enthusiastic about other female ghosts.
Of course.
The main thing is Xiaoli's appearance, which is not particularly outstanding. If it were Xiaohong in Ghost Bites Ghost, that would be a different matter.
Xiaohong, it smells really good!
I just don’t know if the ghost bites ghost plot happened.
Hope not.
……
The next day.
Inside the newly opened western restaurant in Renjia Town.
"Sir, the coffee you asked for."
A waitress in a dress enthusiastically brought a cup of coffee.
This girl's name is Mary, and her Chinese name is Qian Lili. She is slightly pretty, but she wears a more open dress, revealing her delicate collarbones and a patch of snow-white skin, which makes her attractiveness even higher.
Not far away, Shi Shaojian was staring at him sternly.
"Bad luck!"
“I can bump into him even when I’m eating!”
Noticing Cheng Long's teasing eyes, Shi Shaojian felt an unknown fire in his heart. Every time he saw this bastard, something bad would happen.
"Don't be troublesome."
Shi Jian warned in a low voice.
Although he has not found out clearly whether Cheng Long is the leader of the Cheng family army, the other party's unfathomable cultivation level cannot be faked.
A strong enemy like Cheng Long should either be ignored or beaten to death with a stick.
Otherwise, there will be endless troubles.
"Uncle Jian, that's my daughter. Not only is she capable, but she doesn't have to pay wages."
Boss Qian of the western restaurant noticed the gazes of Shi Jian and his son, and when he saw that they were looking at his daughter, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he said these words openly.
Ancient families had completely different attitudes towards sons and daughters. For many people, daughters would get married sooner or later and become members of other families, so they didn't pay much attention to them.
Boss Qian has this kind of mentality. Taking advantage of his daughter's unmarried life, he can save a lot of money by spending every extra day.
"Miss Qian is beautiful and smart, and she is a lucky person. With her here, your restaurant business will definitely get better and better." Although Shi Jian is a senior brother of Maoshan, since he chose to walk down the mountain, he had to find a way to make money.
Therefore, Shi Jian will also be polite when facing big benefactors such as Boss Qian.
"Then I'll lend you some good advice."
While they were chatting, Uncle Jiu walked up from downstairs alone with his hands behind his back.
"Qiu Sheng is not here, is he really being detained?"
Cheng Long originally thought that Uncle Jiu was just joking, just showing off, and would release Qiusheng after Qianhe, Simu and others left.
Now it seems that Uncle Jiu is serious about it.
That's fine, those two scammers should really be taken care of, otherwise they will get into big trouble sooner or later.
"How many are there?"
Not long after Mary came back, she had not seen Uncle Jiu, but Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai were not there. Even if she had not met Uncle Jiu, she could tell from the temperament of Uncle Jiu that he had a good status, but she did not expect that in the original play In that way, he secretly poked fun at a few people and called them bumpkins.
"Uncle Nine~~"
Before Uncle Jiu could say anything, Boss Qian came over with a smile on his face.
"Master Qian."
"Uncle Jiu, this is my daughter Mary, she is very capable."
"..."
Uncle Jiu smiled and didn't reply.
"Mary, take Uncle Jiu to have something to drink. I'll come over after we finish talking."
"This way please..."
Just as Mary was about to take people to an empty table, Uncle Jiu came straight to Cheng Long and said happily: "Fellow Daoist Cheng, all the brothers and sisters have left this morning. I thought you had left too, but I didn't expect you to come back." There!”
"The environment in Renjia Town is good. I plan to stay for a few more days." "I should stay for a few more days so that I can fulfill my duty as a landlord."
"..."
Uncle Jiu and Cheng Long chatted for a while, and then Boss Qian, who looked like a philistine, came and sat down in front of them.
"Uncle Nine, who is this?"
"Fellow Daoist Cheng~~"
Uncle Jiu did not answer immediately, but asked Cheng Long for his opinion.
Seeing this scene, Boss Qian was in awe. Uncle Jiu was one of the most prestigious people in the town.
But such a Taoist priest, whom everyone respected, had to ask before he dared to tell him the true identity of the young man opposite him.
It can be seen that this person must have a great background.
"Please." Cheng Long said calmly.
"Boss Qian, my Taoist friend's surname is Cheng, his single name is a dragon, and he lives in Pucheng..."
My last name is Cheng Long!
Boss Qian didn't react at first. It wasn't until he heard that Chang Zhi was in Pucheng that he suddenly realized it. His eyes widened suddenly and he asked in shock: "Are you Marshal Cheng?"
"Boss Qian, after leaving Pucheng, I am just a young Taoist priest traveling abroad, so there is no need to be nervous." Cheng Longfeng's calm and indifferent attitude directly confirmed his identity.
Boss Qian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly: "Shuai Cheng, you are here to welcome me, the shop is full of glory! I don't know what you want to eat, I will ask my daughter to bring it to you."
"Just have a piece of steak to fill your belly."
"Mary~~"
Boss Qian quickly turned to look at his busy daughter, called her to his side and said: "Go to the restaurant quickly, arrange for the chef to fry a piece of prime steak, and then come back to serve Marshal Cheng. Others don't have to worry about it."
"Commander?" Mary's eyes widened.
"Don't ask, just do the work."
Boss Qian doesn't want Cheng Long's identity to be known to everyone. There are many wealthy squire and landowners in Renjia Town. If they know that Marshal Cheng is in Renjia Town, they will definitely come rushing to show their courtesy.
He is not afraid of others.
She is afraid of Ren Tingting, who will inherit the family property but has little ability to protect it.
Although this girl is helped by Uncle Jiu and has given money to some relatives, she is still a woman and will have to get married sooner or later. The close relatives of the Ren family have always been trying to get out of the family on the grounds that the money of the Ren family must be in the hands of the Ren family. She took away the accumulation of generations of Ren family.
Even her second grandfather, Nintendo, from another town hundreds of miles away, had similar thoughts.
In the past three years, Ren Tingting has been under extraordinary pressure.
Everyone, including cousin Awei, was spying on everything she did, like wolves and tigers.
If Ren Tingting is allowed to see the unparalleled handsome Cheng Marshal, she can recommend herself to the pillow that night.
This is not a joke, but something that is very likely to happen.
Unless Ren Tingting is willing to give up everything and take some of her money with her to travel far away.
"Uncle Jiu, your nephew seems to have some evil intentions."
Cheng Long was sitting facing the entrance to the kitchen. Shi Shaojian secretly pulled off a piece of Mary's hair while she was passing by, and he saw her clearly.
"I will remind senior brother."
Uncle Jiu sighed quietly.
Shi Shaojian pulled the woman's hair, obviously to do something bad.
But for this kind of thing, you have to catch the thief and make the person speechless. It's really difficult to convict just by pulling off a girl's hair.
As long as Shi Shaojian was thick-skinned, he could even blatantly admit that he used the excuse of admiring Mary to pull someone's hair to think about him.
Boss Qian saw that the two of them were chatting in whispers, took a puff of dry cigarette, and said with a sad face: "Uncle Jiu, I didn't believe in Feng Shui at first, but this Western restaurant has always been tepid and has no business since it opened. , I suspect there is something wrong with Feng Shui.”
"The wind refers to the air flow. The restaurant has mountains on its back and faces the sea. There is a breeze blowing on my face when I sit here. The wind should not be a problem..."
"What about water?"
Uncle Jiu smiled and said nothing.
Feng Shui has already been mentioned, so how can he still make money?
Last night, we hosted a banquet for a group of colleagues, including big fish and meat, and red envelopes for travel expenses. Early this morning, we burned all the paper money at home as an apology to appease the four ghost servants.
He will be very poor now, with no money in his pocket. Boss Qian wants to know if there is a problem with the water, but it will be difficult.
"Haha, look at my memory." Boss Qian smiled and hurriedly said with a smile: "Uncle Jiu, just wait, I will get you money. Is twenty yuan enough?"
"Uh...ten yuan is enough."
Uncle Jiu originally wanted to pay five yuan, but when he saw Cheng Long on the side, he increased the price symbolically.
"Ten dollars?"
Boss Qian said with a straight face: "Uncle Jiu, do you look down on yourself, or do you look down on me? Twenty is what I said, not a penny less."
"Hmph, let's go."
Not far away, when Shi Jian heard that Boss Qian took the initiative to increase the price, his face turned red with anger and he walked away.
I asked for ten yuan, and the boss had to consider the money of a philistine, but the result was good. He went to his junior brother and took the initiative to add more money. He asked for ten yuan but refused to give it. He insisted on giving twenty yuan.
Although he knew that Boss Qian's main purpose of increasing the price was to give Cheng Long face.
But Cheng Long gained face and his junior brother made money. What was damaged was his face and income!
The dignified senior brother from Maoshan came to grab the business, but he couldn't even grab it. If word spread, how could Shi Jian have any dignity?
This moment!
Shi Jian really wanted to beat the damn boss Qian to death with his Lightning Thunder Fist!
Then he killed Lin Fengjiao and Cheng Long to vent his hatred!
