The center of the small town is a square square, surrounded by several trails radiating to all directions of the whole city, so it is also called Square Street.An ordinary street has two sides, but Sifang Street has four. The street is lined with various small shops. It should be the busiest place in the small town, but there are not many people to be seen at this moment. It is a bit strange to be deserted.

Gu Yuanting hid his figure, hid in the alley and watched the movements of the three people in front of him.

Walking over with the two brothers was a short, middle-aged man, who was yellow and thin, and looked a bit shy. Only a pair of soybean-sized eyes flashed from time to time, and they turned very flexibly.

Gu Yuanting felt that this person was untrustworthy at a glance, but the minds of the two brothers were also easy to guess, and it was so easy to encounter such an opportunity, no matter it was true or not, they had to try it.

Seeing him leading the two into a small shop on the side of the street, Gu Yuanting turned on his spiritual sense and followed them.There are all kinds of gadgets on the shelves in the store, which are not accessories or antiques, and are only suitable for home decoration.But how many of those who stay in this small town can have a real home of their own?Gu Yuanting thought silently, no wonder the business is so deserted.

The short man led the two brothers into the small shop, and walked through the back door. Outside the door was a small courtyard with an ancient well, and an old lady beside the ancient well was washing vegetables.She shook the handle creakingly, rolled up the sinking bucket, scooped out water and poured it on the vegetable leaves, then threw the bucket down, sat on the small wooden bench beside her and began to wash the vegetable leaves. Kuchai's hands looked a little familiar, and when she turned her face around, Gu Yuanting couldn't help being surprised, this person was the old woman who wanted to arrest him but was scared away by him.

Seeing the short man bringing someone here, the old woman grinned silently, "They are two fresh and tender young people, why is Boss Jia willing to send them to me?"

The short man stepped forward to laugh with him, "Isn't it because I don't have the skills to go home and feel sorry for them, so I brought them here to find you, Granny Jiang."

"You'll be pitiful?" Granny Jiang spoke very slowly. She raised her head and looked at the two brothers standing aside as she spoke. She didn't turn her eyes to Boss Jia until she saw cold sweat dripping from their backs. , opened the mouth and said, "Old rules, I will leave you [-]%."

Boss Jia had no objection. He pushed the elder brother and introduced, "This is Granny Jiang. If you want to do something, you can discuss it with her. Of course, you must be able to afford the price she offered."

The two brothers looked at each other, and the older brother opened his mouth first and asked, "I want to go back and have a word with my old lady, is that okay?"

The younger brother was not happy, "Didn't it be agreed that I would go back?"

"Don't make trouble." The elder brother turned around and scolded angrily.

The younger brother stepped forward and grabbed his shoulder, pulled him behind him, looked at Granny Jiang stubbornly and said, "Let's make an offer."

Granny Jiang looked at them critically, and suddenly said with a straight face, "You can come over after discussing it."

Boss Jia hurried over to smooth things over, "Do you think that anyone who wants to come to Grandma Jiang can come here? Why are you so ignorant? After all, whoever is going back should hurry up and decide, don't let Grandma Jiang wait for you."

"Both of you want to go back to see my mother?" Granny Jiang suddenly said.

The two brothers nodded at the same time, and looked at each other not to be outdone.

Granny Jiang added, "Then do you know that in addition to paying a certain price, returning to the present world is also risky, maybe you will never return, so you still rush to go back?"

"I know," the younger brother said in a hoarse voice, with an indescribably difficult tone, "my brother lost a lot of luck in that yin and yang mirror, and if he continues to consume like this, I'm afraid he won't be able to reincarnate, so this Let me pay the price for this time."

"You should know what it means not to come back," the elder brother smiled at him, "Since my luck is not much left, it would be better to lose my soul than to be an animal in my next life or worse."

"No, I'll go." The younger brother jumped up and objected.

"How about, let's draw lots." Granny Jiang took out a copper coin from her bosom, "Guess wrong."

Now the two were meaningless, the copper coin was thrown into the sky, fell, spun, and finally was crushed under Granny Jiang's withered palm.

"Front." My brother said first.

"Negative." The younger brother's voice sounded a little nervous, and when Grandma Jiang lifted her palm, he finally guessed right and choked up, "No, I'll go."

"It seems that your brother's fortune really has nothing left." Granny Jiang looked at him coldly, and said slowly, "Whether you succeed or not, those who make deals with me must share half of the merits they have accumulated in their lifetimes. Me, of course you are better for me, but since it is determined by God, I suggest that you still obey God's will."

When the younger brother wanted to object again, Boss Jia dragged him away, grabbed his arm and kept persuading him to explain.

Granny Jiang here signed an agreement with her brother, and the two of them clarified the content of the transaction in one sentence, and the agreement appeared between them out of thin air.After the two parties pressed their fingerprints on the agreement, each took a copy and put it in their arms. Grandma Jiang took her brother to the well and said, "Jump down, thinking about where you are going."

The elder brother took a deep breath, and jumped down holding onto the edge of the well.

Gu Yuanting's spiritual consciousness followed him and fell quickly. The well wall was pitch black, and it became darker as it went down. Spread to the whole town.

Granny Jiang's face changed suddenly, "Not good, such a big reaction, will it alarm the people in the administration?"

Boss Jia immediately decided to turn around and leave. The younger brother next to him was still sad for some unknown reason. Seeing that he was about to leave, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to pull him. He came back here without accident, but he suddenly found that he couldn't move, couldn't reach out his hands, couldn't stretch his arms, and couldn't take a step with his feet.

Boss Jia was also stuck there, unable to move. Suddenly, there was a burst of alarm bells outside, followed by the sound of uniform footsteps from far to near, and the patrol team from the Public Security Bureau quickly broke into the door.

"Don't move." The leader fired a shot, which broke the pressure of spiritual power and made everyone present relax, but was soon handcuffed tightly again.

He walked to the well, took out some powdery things from his backpack and sprinkled them into the water, then stretched out his hand to turn the wheel of the water wheel, and soon saw his unconscious brother who was wrapped in a rope.

"Take it away together." He said to his subordinates, and was about to turn around when he unintentionally glanced at the hiding place of Gu Yuanting's spiritual consciousness.

Gu Yuanting's heart moved, he quickly withdrew his consciousness, turned around and left, but fortunately those people didn't catch up, they just escorted the four people in the small courtyard into the car and left together.

When Gu Yuanting returned to the inn, he saw Ye Ziyao, the owner of the shop, still playing game consoles behind the counter, he couldn't help sighing, and sat down on the sofa next to her.

"It's hard to see the store, where did you go?" Ye Ziyao asked casually without raising her head.

"Go out for a stroll, I'll be back soon." Gu Yuanting replied.He originally wanted to know the way to return to the present world, but unfortunately this wish came to nothing, so he had to think about it in the long run.

At the end of the game, Ye Ziyao turned off the game console, stood up and said, "Come over and look after the store for me, I'll go out for a while."

Gu Yuanting was slightly surprised, she actually trusted herself so much?

As if she had guessed his idea, Ye Ziyao looked at him with disdain and said, "The best thing here is that as long as the contract is made, no external force can change it. The bills paid by the guests will be directly deposited into the personal account, even if you Opportunities, you can't take them away."

Gu Yuanting smiled wryly, "What am I going to do with that, it's useless."

"How can it be useless? Do you think I opened the inn here because I have nothing to do?" Ye Ziyao stared at him, and finally explained softly, "Not all those who open a store here don't want to be reincarnated. I have owed too much debt, and I can only make up for it in this way, so that I can live a little less bitter life in the next life."

Gu Yuanting said clearly, "So that's the case, then these guests are also willing to share their fortunes with you, right?"

Ye Ziyao nodded, "You can understand luck as the currency in circulation here."

"Then with this currency in circulation, can we buy the chance to go back to this world?" Gu Yuanting took the opportunity to ask.

Ye Ziyao was stunned, then flew into a rage. "Did you ignore what I told you before? I told you from the beginning not to touch messy things. Can you take responsibility for something wrong?"

"The messy things are trying to find a way to return to the present world?" Gu Yuanting found that he had caught the key point.

"This is expressly prohibited, and the consequences of being caught by the management bureau are simply unimaginable." Ye Ziyao replied solemnly.

"Then what will happen?" Thinking of the pure and filial brothers, Gu Yuanting couldn't bear it.

"I haven't been caught before, how do I know?" Ye Ziyao glared at him, then turned around and said, "I still have something to do, so I won't chat with you, you should take a good look at the store."

"Wait," Gu Yuanting hurriedly called to her, "Is Dahe here?"

"Not here, I went shopping for groceries," Ye Ziyao turned around, looked at him suspiciously and asked. "You have something to do with him?"

Gu Yuanting looked at the empty counter and said helplessly, "I don't know how to use your registration system."

Ye Ziyao patiently taught him the operation method in front of him, and Gu Yuanting finally started to work as the receptionist of this inn, but unfortunately, the guests he received did not come to stay in the inn, but came to check.

Two patrolmen stood in front of the counter, took out the photos of the two brothers and asked, "Are they residents of your store?"

Gu Yuanting nodded without checking in the registration system.

"Where's your shop owner?" the patrolman asked again.

"It is said that something happened to go out." Gu Yuanting replied cautiously.

But no matter how careful he was, the patrolman looked at him incredulously and said, "Then you run with us."
