Quick Wear: I am the shopkeeper at the Merit Pawn Shop

"Bang!" Shen Mo slammed the door.

I don't want to bother with such a lunatic. He really thinks it's like queuing up to buy movie tickets at the cinema, first come first served.

It's obvious that he wants to take advantage of the situation, but he still speaks so righteously, plays a double act in front of him, and transfers the money to him at the original price. What the hell is he thinking!

Shen Mo was too lazy to pay attention to such people. If he paid attention to such people, even one more minute would be a waste.

Seeing that the knocking on the door continued, Shen Mo shouted through the door: "If you knock on the door again, I will go to the police station to report it. You are disturbing the public."

The two people outside the door looked at each other unwillingly, fearing that Shen Mo would really report the case.

"Aunt, it's all your fault. If you hadn't been so nosy, we would have bought this house."

"How can you blame me? You were the ones who agreed to it in the first place. Otherwise, it would be useless even if I talked my mouth off." She didn't want to take advantage of him, and now that the blame was on her, she would not take the blame.

"Why don't you just forget it? I'll help you find another house." said the middle-aged woman.

“No, there are no other houses that are independent like this one, and they are not maintained as well as this one.

It’s not that there are only a few children living in this house. We saw it when we came here today. The oldest one should be this teenager.

A few kids, just scare them and they will run away immediately, and then it will be even cheaper than before." The young man's eyes flickered with calculation.

Shen Mo didn't know that someone was targeting him.

Shen Yu was just listening at the side, feeling uneasy and worried.

"Brother, will those people come again? Is our house okay?"

Shen Yu already regards this place as his home.

She is not afraid of dirty things, but people.

The lives of the three siblings over the years made her understand one thing:

People are often scarier than ghosts.

Seeing his sister like this, Shen Mo ruffled her hair in amusement;

"Little fool, I made all the inquiries before buying this house. The owner is going abroad and is in a hurry to sell the house.

Those people wanted to lower the price, but I liked the house and thought there was no need to do so, so I bought it. Of course, those people were unwilling to accept this, and seeing that we were young, they naturally bullied us.”

Shen Yu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there was no problem with the house.

"Will those people come again? Will they ..."

While Shen Yu was asking questions, Shen Xian also came out and heard the conversation between his sister and elder brother.

"Brother, will they come to cause trouble?" Shen Xian frowned.

"Don't worry about these things. In a society ruled by law, they dare not do anything too extreme. At most, they will pretend to be ghosts and scare us. Do we still fear them?"

Shen Mo blinked at the two siblings, and they understood instantly.

He clenched his fists and was eager to try: "Brother, tell me how we can help."

"Of course I'll help." Shen Mo smiled.

This is their home. The two siblings have reached an age where they are sensible and it is time for them to know how dangerous the world is.

They are destined not to become greenhouse flowers.

After lunch, Shen Mo took Shen Xian to the mountain, while Shen Yu was sharpening his knife at home.

The two brothers cut down some wild bamboos and came back. The three siblings spent an afternoon cutting the bamboos into bamboo thorns, burying one end in the corner of the wall, leaving the pointed end exposed.

Making these traps is not difficult for rural children. They also set such traps in the mountains to hunt wild animals, and catching them is considered a snack.

Shen Mo also reminded his younger brothers and sisters:

"This is not our countryside, where only a few villagers come and go and go out without locking the door. The county town has a large population and there are all kinds of people. We don't have any adults in our family, so we're afraid of being targeted by someone with ulterior motives. You must remember to lock the door when you go out."

"Brother understands." The two siblings nodded obediently and kept Shen Mo's words in mind.

In this way, the whole day passed. After the two siblings finished their dinner, they reviewed their homework and then turned off the lights and went to bed.

At night, several sneaky people jumped over the wall.

"Is this the one?" the man asked in a low voice.

"This is the one. Be careful. The kid here is quite clever."

"Don't worry, they are just a few little ghosts, how can they be so smart? The brothers will scare the hell out of them."

The man shook his fake long hair confidently and wore a white faceless mask on his face.

Under the light, you can see that the mask is crudely made, but at night, it is still very intimidating at first glance.

Several men jumped down from the wall and then let out a shrill scream.

In the darkness, Shen Mo picked up a sack, put the man in it and started beating him with a stick.

After knocking the man unconscious, he let his younger brother and sister watch the sack while he went to the police station to report the case.

Shen Mo still felt uneasy before leaving because he didn't knock the man unconscious.

Shen Mo was worried about letting the two kids go out in the dark.

At this time, the convenience of living in the county becomes apparent. The police station is right at the entrance of the alley, just a five-minute walk away.

Shen Mo went into the police station and explained the situation.

Because there were only two minors in the house, the police did not dare to delay in facing the intruder. They quickly rode their 28-inch bicycles and took Shen Mo with them to go out.

When they arrived at the courtyard and saw the miserable appearance of the criminal, the police didn't know what to say for a moment and almost couldn't tell who the victim was.

"Because my younger brothers and sisters were still young, I didn't dare let them face these people, so I put a sack around the man and knocked him unconscious."

Shen Mo scratched his head, looking silly.

"Where are the elders in your family?"

The police frowned when they saw that the oldest of the three, Shen Mo, was only about seventeen or eighteen years old.

When something like this happens, an adult in the family always has to step in.

"Uncle policeman, my father passed away a few years ago, and my mother is gone too. I am the one in charge of the family." Shen Mo said calmly.

"But you are not yet an adult, how do you deal with this kind of thing?"

At this time, Shen Mo couldn't help but sigh at the benefits of his cheap grandmother helping him to age older. Shen Mo showed two rows of big white teeth arranged neatly like corn, and a standard smile.

"Uncle police, I am an adult, and this is my ID card." Shen Mo took out the ID card he had just processed.

After completing the household registration process, Shen Mo immediately went to apply for an ID card. The age on this ID card was four years older than his actual age.

Seeing the age on Shen Mo's ID card and then looking at Shen Mo's face, the police could only say that Shen Mo looked too unhurried.

But some people may be born with baby faces and look younger.

Since Shen Mo is already an adult, he can handle the matter.

"Do you have any suspicions? Why did these people come to your house? Look at these traps. You did it for defense, right?" the policeman said, pointing at the spiked bamboo raft under the wall.

"A few people came during the day and said they wanted to buy this yard. You know, we sold our land in the countryside and managed to raise the money to buy this yard. Of course I didn't agree."

Shen Mo said truthfully.

Shen Yu tearfully connected: "That man said something very unpleasant. He told us that there were dirty things in the house at that time, saying that we children couldn't suppress it, and we had money to buy a house, saying that we had no life to live in. We don't believe in ghosts and gods. These are superstitious things. My brother is also afraid that these people will pretend to be ghosts, so we made these traps. Uncle police, please help us!"
