Chapter 484 Part-time Beggar Selling Scrap

"Yes, yes, you are low-key, low-key."

I was afraid that he would beat me up, so I responded quickly.Old man Zhou himself said he was low-key, but in fact he didn't have the slightest demeanor. He did everything from bullying the small, bullying the weak, and fighting between men and women.

If I hadn't changed my words a little longer, maybe he'd hit me on the head with his finger.

"Hmph, just wait and see. Being a teacher is based on real skills, so he can't help but not believe it."

The old man got angry quickly and calmed down even faster.With just a snort, what happened just now is considered a turning point.

We waited for the man to warm up the steamed buns, and old man Zhou entered the house honestly and checked around.

I wanted to stop it, but old man Zhou had already gone in, so it would be inappropriate for me to call again, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow in.

This house is indeed a shop, but it has obviously been out of business for a while.Originally, some books and magazines were supposed to be sold, but there were still some unsold goods scattered on the ground.I took a closer look and found that they were all old books like novels.

Also, it is indeed difficult for small bookstores to survive these days.

"Old man, what are you looking for?"

I turned around and saw that old man Zhou was looking for something with his head buried, so I couldn't help asking curiously.

Old man Zhou glanced at me and said in a low voice, "Don't tell me, there is a good thing hidden in this store. I want to see where it is."

I stared at him in surprise, "You don't want to steal anything, do you?"

Old man Zhou became anxious all of a sudden, and shouted, "Fart, am I that kind of person? If I really find it, I'll pay for it!"

His barking was a little louder, but the man in the kitchen heard him.

That was not really a kitchen, it was just a single room separated by wooden boards.When the man heard it, he poked his head out and asked, "What is it?"

He didn't care that old man Zhou came in privately, probably because there was nothing in the room.But I'm just a little curious that old man Zhou is willing to pay for things.Old man Zhou doesn't look like a rich man.

"Boy, you have to heat up the steamed buns first."

Old man Zhou replied, and continued to search for it.

After a while, I saw him staring at a box of books.It seemed that I wanted to look through it, but after all, I didn't get permission from others, so I didn't do it.

Old man Zhou has always done things properly. He ran into the man's room mainly to find out where the yin energy in the room came from, so it can't be considered stealing.But old man Zhou couldn't be ashamed if he wanted to go through other people's things secretly.

"Oh, you're being hypocritical."

The man didn't expect to be so deflated, he gave old man Zhou a disgusted look, and turned around to continue heating the steamed buns.

At this time, my impression of him has been completely reversed. Before, I thought this person was cold and fierce, and I wished I could stay away from him.But after three or five sentences, I found that this is a serious man with a sharp mouth and a bean curd heart. While talking about me and old man Zhou being an eyesore, he also spread hot steamed buns for us.

After a while, the steamed buns were ready, and they were brought to Old Man Zhou and me.The steamed buns looked almost rancid to me, so of course I didn't dare to eat them, but the old man Zhou looked delicious, and said while eating, "Boy, you said just now that something happened in this shop, the whole Everyone in the street knows what's going on?"

"You man, why are you still asking questions?" The man said angrily, looking very depressed.

But this time he didn't try to grab old man Zhou and drive him out. Maybe it was because he tried it and found that it didn't work, or maybe he felt that old man Zhou didn't behave like ordinary people, so he didn't know how to deal with it.

"Anyway, everyone knows, one more me is not too much." Old man Zhou said naturally.

I stood aside and could only sigh how thick his skin was.

In the end, it was easy to talk about it, the man was tortured to the point of helplessness, and he said helplessly, "I think you are also strange, you want to eat, and you still gossip like this."

I finally couldn't bear it anymore, patted the table and said, "Hey, we are not begging for food!"

The man gave me a silent look, obviously in complete disbelief.

"Actually, there is nothing to say. My shop was rented to others before. A family of three opened a small bookstore and used the upstairs room as a living room. Both the shop and the residence are here. Although the business It’s not very prosperous, but we’re not in the city, so we can still have enough food and clothing.”

"So these books are not yours anymore?" Old man Zhou asked suddenly.

The man glanced at Old Man Zhou speechlessly, of course he also noticed Old Man Zhou's interest in these books just now.And he also saw old man Zhou's big bag full of books at the door before, and he immediately had some associations.

He warned seriously, "Don't worry about these books. Even if you take them all, you won't be able to sell them for much money. If you get into trouble, you will be in bad luck."

I'm completely speechless. The man of feelings not only thinks that we are begging for food, but also thinks that we are thinking about the books in his store and want to sell them for scrap.

Well, a part-time beggar who sells scraps.That's probably how I look now.

This is really a heavy blow to a young girl in the blooming season. I moved to one side and sat down, not wanting to talk to these two weirdos anymore.

Old man Zhou didn't care if he was said so, "Hey, I don't want to sell it for money. I don't want too much, I want to look through it later, if there is something I want, I will buy it from you."

The man rolled his eyes, knowing that the dissuasion was futile, he simply continued, "Nothing else. The family of three who rented my shop before are all dead now."

I had expected this, but I didn't feel anything after hearing it.

But old man Zhou looked surprised on purpose, and asked, "How did you die?"

The man's expression became heavy, and he said, "I don't know too much, I only know that the youngest daughter of this family suddenly became seriously ill, and then the woman killed her husband. Later, the girl died of illness, and the woman herself also committed suicide."

This is really not clear, you can't hear any news, can you?

He asked casually, "Then why do you still live here? Are you not afraid of ghosts?"

I swear, it was really a random question.If the man can take out two steamed buns from here and say they are from yesterday, he will naturally think that he lives here.

Where do ordinary people have the guts to live in a house where three people died?Besides, this man rented out the shop before, obviously he has another place to live.

But when the man heard my question, his expression changed.

"What nonsense are you talking about? What are you talking about? Go, go, get out of here, both of you!"
