Kuaiwen: I earn a pension by breaking through the game

Chapter 112 Women don’t have to marry (44)

As time went by, the goods on this stall became less and less, leaving only a few inconspicuous small items placed in the corner.

The crowds dispersed, causing the lively night market to fall silent amidst the hustle and bustle, and the crowded streets instantly became much emptier.

The lights were dim, and the stars were like fireflies in the night sky, adding a bit of warmth and mystery to the deep night. The stall owners began to clean up their stalls, the lanterns on the stalls were extinguished one by one, and the stars changed from bright to dim.

Seeing everyone cleaning up, Jiang Qiucheng also felt tired belatedly, couldn't help but yawned and stretched.

Pedestrians returning home at night hurried past, and their footsteps were particularly clear in the silent night. Occasionally, there was one or two barking dogs or the chirping of insects, adding a bit of silence.

Looking at the empty street in front of him, Jiang Qiucheng was really in a trance for a moment, and it was difficult to integrate with the lively scene just now.

"Brother Li, how was the harvest tonight?"

Jiang Qiucheng rubbed his shoulders and neck, shook his sore arms, and leaned towards Li Er, who was sitting in the corner.

"It's not bad. Although I didn't make as much as I did selling tea last time, I still made three taels of silver."

"The most important thing is to clear out all the useless bits and pieces, and keep the most expensive ones, so that no one takes them away."

"I guess if we use this method to clear goods again in the future, those goods can be put on the shelves again."

Jiang Qiucheng turned his head and glanced at the old objects in the corner, and couldn't help but smile.

"Indeed, the value of those goods is not low. Many people want to take advantage of it, but it is not easy to take advantage of it. If you don't have some skills, you really can't go that far."

"I think it's almost time. There's no one around now. Even Wangcai was so sleepy that Sangbiao took him back to sleep. It's time for us to close the stall."

After saying this, Jiang Qiucheng couldn't help but yawned again. Since she came here, she has gone to bed very early every day and has a very regular schedule. Staying up for such a long night is really too much for her.

Perhaps because in the real world, sudden death occurs due to overtime work, which makes Jiang Qiucheng particularly resistant to staying up late.

Fortunately, situations like this don't happen often, and once in a while, she just tolerates it. She was very sleepy now, and she just wanted to dive into the bed and have a deep sleep.

"Indeed, it's almost done. Let's put the things back into the container and drag them back to the inn quickly.

"Thank you for your hard work today. This is your reward. You should keep it yourself."

I don't know when Li Er went to exchange the money. Jiang Qiucheng looked at the small silver ingot in the other person's hand, his eyes full of undisguised enthusiasm.

Li Er has always been straightforward in doing things, not procrastinating, and will settle matters involving money directly face to face. This is what Jiang Qiucheng admires most about him.

Who doesn’t like a boss who pays you every day?
After reaching out to receive the reward for today's labor, Jiang Qiucheng felt more energetic all over, and even the speed of cleaning up became faster.

Just when she was about to throw the last tiger-head rag doll into the cargo box, a low call suddenly came from the corner of the dark alley.

"elder sister--"

The voice seemed to be squeezed out of the abyss of hell, with a kind of creepy gloominess, including the tenderness of a child and the hoarseness of an old man.

The rag doll in Jiang Qiucheng's hand seemed to become extremely heavy all of a sudden, and his fingers froze, unable to loosen the rough fabric for a while. She slowly turned her head and looked towards the dark corner. The moonlight filtered through the sparse clouds and barely illuminated the darkness. She could only vaguely see a figure standing at the end of the alley, as if at the end of the alley. What awaits.

The man was thin and thin, and seemed to be a child, or maybe a woman. Jiang Qiucheng's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.

The air around him seemed to have frozen, so quiet that he could only hear his own heartbeat and breathing. The call sounded again, clearer and more mocking.

"Sister-" the voice came from afar, full of endless sorrow and longing.

Jiang Qiucheng unconsciously clenched the doll in her hand, feeling a cold touch on her fingertips. She forced herself to calm down, but the fear in her heart could not be suppressed.

It is no exaggeration to say that after Jiang Qiucheng heard this voice, he shivered all over and kept bending down, not daring to make any big movements at all!
What are you doing in the middle of the night? !

Jiang Qiucheng's eyes carefully glanced to the other side, and when he didn't see Li Er's figure, he felt like crying.

No, brother, why did you disappear at this time?
Monster or ghost? Which situation does it belong to now?

Although Jiang Qiucheng believed in materialism most of the time, she still inevitably felt scared and panicked in this deserted night.

"Don't be afraid, maybe I heard wrongly."

"There are other stall owners nearby who haven't left yet. If I shout, there will be people there. I'm afraid of this."

"It's okay, it's okay, I've experienced even more outrageous things, this is just a kid..."

Jiang Qiucheng was murmuring in a low voice, hoping to eliminate the fear in her heart. But when she finally convinced herself and prepared her mental construction, an unexpected scene suddenly caused all her mental construction to collapse.

She raised her head, and a small pale face appeared in her sight just a few centimeters away.

The face was bloodless and extremely thin. Her hair was scattered around her face. A few strands of hair were still gently fluttering in the breeze, and her big black pupils were locked tightly on her.

This time she really couldn't help it anymore and let out a short exclamation.

"what--"

Li Erzhen, who happened to leave, came back and saw Jiang Qiucheng lying on the ground and quickly stepped forward to pull him up.

"Why are you sitting on the ground so well? Are you okay?"

"You're just a little girl in front of me, why did I scare you?"

Hearing Li Er's joking voice, Jiang Qiucheng came back to his senses and hurriedly got up.

After she stood up straight, her perspective changed, from looking straight down when she bent over to looking down. After she distanced herself, the uncomfortable feeling dissipated a lot.

The person standing in front of her was just a thin little girl, but her complexion was particularly bad, and her pupils were too big, which startled Jiang Qiucheng.

But the main reason was the sister who called out in that weird voice, which was not like the sound that a young child could make.
