Chapter 40 Knock on the Door
The next morning, the sun was shining brightly.
In front of Zuixian Tower.
The divine figure took off his tattered clothes and put on a plain long gown.
The red fire monkey in his arms was still sleeping, and its appearance was completely different from yesterday.
From a distance, it really does have a bit of an immortal air.
Beside him, Si Jianming was dressed in tight clothes and wearing a conical hat, looking like a knight-errant.
"Brother Jianming, why don't you stay a few more days?"
Looking at Si Jianming in front of him, Aji asked.
Although the contact time was not long, at least we had fought against the enemy together.
This time when Si Jianming was leaving, Aji was actually a little reluctant to let him go.
"Well, this time when I go down the mountain, Master wants me to protect the Goddess well."
Hearing Aji's words, Si Jianming smiled slightly and said, "Now that the divine image has appeared, I should escort him to a safe place."
"Besides, I have promised Shopkeeper Wang that I will leave today and will not stay any longer!"
As he spoke, Si Jianming's gaze turned and fell on Wang Ye.
At this time, Wang Ye was leaning against the door frame of Zuixianlou, yawning, with a look of impatience on his face.
After hearing Si Jianming's words, he waved his hands impatiently: "Yes, yes, yes, hurry up!"
"This kid has been up to no good since he moved in. He should leave as soon as possible to avoid causing trouble for me every day!"
"By the way, you are going to take the water route, right? You must be careful. The sea is windy and rough, so be careful of a shipwreck..."
As he spoke, Wang Ye's face was full of impatience, and he wished Si Jianming would leave quickly.
"You old money-grubber!"
After hearing what Wang Ye said, Aji said, "I really doubt what else you care about besides money."
"Do you have the word friendship in your eyes?"
"What is affection? How much is one pound?"
Wang Ye rolled his eyes at Aji's words and asked lazily, "I'll sell it to you at five taels per catty. Do you want it?"
"I have no money!"
Aji rolled his eyes and said unhappily.
"Isn't this over?"
Looking at Aji's appearance, Wang Ye said, "You are kind and righteous, but you can't get money for it. Don't you still have to work under my heartless hands?"
"I……"
For a moment, Aji was speechless.
Wang Ye’s words were unpleasant to hear, but he was unable to refute them for the moment.
"You're out of words, kid?"
Wang Ye smiled slightly, stood up straight, and said, "Love is not worth a thousand ounces of gold, and love will always be hurt by ruthlessness!"
"I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice, so learn from me, little bastard!"
As he spoke, Wang Ye's words became more proud.
"Are you afraid of choking to death from eating so much salt?"
Just when Wang Ye was feeling proud, Aji muttered softly.
"Hahaha, Shopkeeper Wang is the one who sees things clearly!"
Looking at the appearance of Wang Ye and Aji, the divine appearance smiled and said to Wang Ye: "Before you leave, I would also like to say something to Shopkeeper Wang!"
“Ouch!”
Hearing this, Wang Ye's face instantly turned into a flattering smile: "Old Immortal, if you have good advice, I will definitely listen attentively!"
After hearing Wang Ye's words, the divine figure smiled slightly and said, "I will leave the door open and not care about the affairs in front of the court. I will let the plum blossoms decide for themselves..."
After saying this, the divine figure slowly turned around and walked towards the ferry.
Seeing the divine figure leaving, Si Jianming clasped his fists and saluted towards Wang Ye and Aji, then turned around and chased after them.
"old man……"
Looking at the back of the divine figure walking away, Wang Ye shook his head and whispered, "Do you even need to tell me that..."
The words the diviner had just said clearly told him not to meddle in other people's business and that he could continue to live in seclusion.
But how could I not know this truth?
There are endless disputes in the martial arts world, so it’s better to be an innkeeper and live a leisurely life .
I ate too much so I would get involved in those rotten things...
"Boss, what did the diviner say to you? He was talking about being behind closed doors and acting on his own. I don't understand a word of it."
Just as Wang Ye was thinking secretly, Aji came over with a big face and asked.
"The fortune teller said, if you don't work hard, I will deduct your wages!"
Looking at Aji's big face, Wang Ye slapped him: "You don't want to do any work all day, and you just ask questions. If you have so much free time, why don't you go to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures?"
After saying this, Wang Ye walked into Zuixianlou with his hands behind his back.
"Wang Ba Pi..."
Looking at Wang Ye's back, Aji whispered something.
Then he returned to Zuixianlou in shame.
…
Time flies, and before I knew it, three days have passed.
By evening, Zuixianlou was already ready.
Wang Ye and the other two sat in the hall eating dinner.
"Boss, please hire a handyman!"
Ah Ji took a chicken leg and munched on it, his mouth full of oil: "There are more and more customers recently, so I am busy all the time."
"I have martial arts skills, so it doesn't matter if I'm a little tired, but you have to consider Chen Chong too!"
"Hey, you little bastard!"
After hearing what Ah Ji said, Wang Ye put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "If you want to hire another handyman, just say so. Don't bring Chen Chong along!"
"It's not me who brought Chen Chong along!"
Hearing this, Aji shook his head. He pointed at Chen Chong who was eating quietly beside him and said, "It's because you are stingy and don't hire anyone to do odd jobs. Chen Chong has to help clean up after cooking. Chen Chong is exhausted every day. Look at the dark circles under his eyes!"
As soon as he said this, Wang Ye turned around and looked at Chen Chong.
However, he found that Chen Chong's eye sockets were deep and sunken, and slightly black, which was obviously due to lack of rest.
"Isn't it... so tiring?"
Looking at Chen Chong's appearance, Wang Ye scratched his head and said, "I think it's okay. The day has passed without doing anything. How can it be so hard?"
"nonsense!"
Before Wang Ye could finish his words, Aji said, "You must be tired standing at the counter and yelling all day, but you have to think about us!"
"I was doing a few jobs by myself, such as waiting tables and doing odd jobs. Chen Chong cooked during the day and helped with the cleaning at night. She also sharpened knives at night..."
"Speaking of this knife sharpening, I'm confused. Chen Chong, do you chop wood with a kitchen knife every day? Do you sharpen the knife every day?"
After hearing this, Chen Chong, who was silent, was slightly startled and said, "Aji, you are just a dog with a mouth that can't spit out ivory."
"The knife is used to cut mutton and kill chickens every day, and it is stained with oil, mud and blood. If it is not sharpened, it will become blunt over time. Then I have to go to Cuilifang to sharpen the knife. It's not worth it!"
"Look , look!"
After hearing this, Wang Ye nodded and said to Aji: "Look at Chen Chong's awareness, and then look at you, you do nothing but cheat and argue with me every day."
"They are both made with the same craftsmanship, why is there such a big difference?!"
"Hey, I don't like to hear that!"
Hearing this, Aji put down the chicken leg and prepared to speak.
Bang bang bang!
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door...
