Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 306: Wandering Ghosts

Seeing that the topic was getting sidetracked and Brother Zhao misunderstood him more and more, Yang Xiao was too lazy to defend himself. He thought that he would let Li Qingxuan help him explain in the future. Looking at the relationship between Brother Zhao and Li Qingxuan, what he said should be done by Brother Zhao. Can believe it.

"Brother Zhao, let's not talk about this for now. If you agree, I will come up with the script as soon as possible and we will put it into use in your store on Yuejiang Road. How about it?" Compared to Mingjie, Yang Xiao is still I care more about my own script.

The store on Yuejiang Road is Brother Zhao's best business store. It has a good location and a large flow of people. The effect of advertising here must be the best. But when he heard this, Brother Zhao's face suddenly became embarrassed. Yang Xiao did not force it. He immediately said that any store would do, as long as Brother Zhao was willing to help, he would be very grateful.

"No, no, Xiao Yang, don't get me wrong. It's not that I won't help, it's just...it's just that the store on Yuejiang Road will be given away starting next month."

"Why?" Brother Zhao told Yang Xiao a few months ago that only this store was still making a profit, while the rest were losing money.

Seeing that Brother Zhao's face was a little ugly, Yang Xiao gradually understood that Brother Zhao must have been in trouble and had to give up the store, "Brother Zhao, if you need anything, just tell me. My boss is very powerful. Ye Zhengyi, I can ask him to help you."

Perhaps he had been holding this matter in his heart for too long. Taking advantage of the drunkenness, Brother Zhao just complained to Yang Xiao. Someone had taken a fancy to the location of his shop. Of course Brother Zhao did not agree to sell it, but those people had great connections. , people come to the store to cause trouble every now and then. Brother Zhao can't afford to offend them, so he has no choice but to agree to their request and will move out next month.

"Didn't you tell Boss Li about this?" Yang Xiao asked.

"I said it, but Boss Li couldn't do anything. The other party's background is very tough. I heard Boss Li mention it, and it seemed that he was from some kind of federation. Boss Li couldn't afford to offend them. He advised me to do more. One thing is worse than one thing less." Brother Zhao sighed.

Yang Xiao immediately understood that the other party was relying on the support of the Apostles Federation. No wonder he was so arrogant, but he was not afraid. "Brother Zhao, let me ask you about this matter. My boss may have an idea."

"Really? If...if this thing can be done, I can pay 200,000 as a thank you." Brother Zhao was also very happy.

Yang Xiao still had something to do. After comforting Brother Zhao for a few words, he left. He immediately contacted the person guarding Li Qingxuan and asked him to release him.

Then he thought of Fu Qingzhu. With Fu Qingzhu's ability, it shouldn't be a problem to settle Brother Zhao's matter. But he also knew that Fu Qingzhu seemed to have been in trouble recently. It might not be appropriate to trouble him now. After thinking about it, Yang Xiao decided to help Fu Qingzhu. Qingzhu sent a message, asking him if he needed help, and at the same time mentioned Brother Zhao's matter.

Unexpectedly, Fu Qingzhu replied to him happily and said that he would handle the matter. As for Yang Xiao's question about whether he needed help, Fu Qingzhu did not answer.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Xiao sent Fu Qingzhu another message, "We are friends. Don't hide anything from me. If you need help, just ask."

Like before, Fu Qingzhu did not answer.

After wandering all the way, it was already night by the time he arrived at Xiangma Town with the package on his back. Fortunately, it was not yet late at night. Yang Xiao found a small hotel to stay in the town. It also did not require an ID card. The key is that there was no one at night. Any special services, just from this point of view, you know that the nightlife in Xiangma Town is far less rich than that in Xiashi Town, and the rent is ridiculously high, it actually costs 2,000 yuan per night.

"Boss, are you kidding me?" Yang Xiao's face turned cold. This was no longer a rip off, but a robbery. "2,000 yuan, I don't even need that much money to stay in a hotel."

The shop owner was an elderly man with gray hair. He seemed to have seen many customers like Yang Xiao. He didn't even bother to raise his eyelids and said expressionlessly: "Then you don't have to stay. All accommodation in Thieves Town is at this price."

"Are you forming a group to trick outsiders?" Yang Xiao sneered.

Unexpectedly, the old man nodded his head naturally, and said in a strange tone with a strong local accent: "All the people who come to the town are outsiders, and we only do business for outsiders. I can only promise you that if you live in My place is absolutely safe. There are no cameras, no bugs, no thieves and gangsters, and no ID card is required.

Who you are, where you come from, and what you do here have nothing to do with me. No one knows you have been here, including me. "

After saying these words, Yang Xiao knew that the old man was not simple. After he paid, the old man took him to a very shabby guest room upstairs. At the same time, he told him that if he wanted to go out at night, remember to use the back door. Forgot to mention a paper lantern behind the door.

"What do I need a lantern for?" Yang Xiao was confused.

"Avoid ghosts." The old man stooped and walked in the dark corridor without looking back. "After midnight, there are no people in the town. There are only those lonely ghosts. If you carry something with you and don't understand the rules, Put up the lantern in my house, maybe a familiar ghost will spare your life."

After the old man left, Yang Xiao sat by the bed and thought about what the old man said. He suspected that the hiking bag on his body was noticed. Indeed, he was a foreigner and came to Xiangma Town carrying such a large bag. A discerning person would take a look. You know they are coming with good things, either a lot of money or resentment.

The money is okay, and if you rob it, it will be robbed, but if you complain, then this matter will not be done, and you must kill someone to silence them.

Through the old man's words, Yang Xiao felt more and more that this gangster town was not simple. He stayed up all night and waited until 1:40 in the morning before opening the door, putting on his hiking bag and walking out. After all, these resentful eyes are more conspicuous in his hands. .

Following the old man's previous reminder, he went around to the back door, and sure enough, he found paper lanterns behind the door. The lanterns were hung up neatly, and the words "Guo's Shop" were written on each lantern.

It seems that the owner of this shop is surnamed Guo. Of course, these are Yang Xiao's guesses. Yang Xiao even suspected that he would be robbed only if he put up a lantern. Throughout the ages, many large car shops on deserted villages and wild roads have been connected with bandits and thieves. Once they are found staying in the shop If any of the travelers carried gold, silver or valuable objects, they would secretly report it to the horse bandits, who would intercept and kill the travelers on their only way.

However, after much thought, Yang Xiao still chose to put up the lantern with Guo's Shop written on it. He wanted to take a look.

What medicine is this store owner selling in his gourd?

The back door was a very thick and old wooden door. After unbolting the door bolt and pushing it open, the night wind rushed in instantly, causing the lantern in Yang Xiao's hand to sway.

After walking out of the door, Yang Xiao walked along the path in his memory towards the hotel. There was no one on the stone road in the town. The street was dead silent except for the lanterns hanging outside different shops that were blown around by the night wind.
