eighty-two(1/2)

The old drunkard was stunned for a while and came back.

"I also came with the old beggar, but before I could get to the place, he disappeared without a trace. I didn't know where to go, so I walked around and met this guy by chance. Because of his similar temperament, he drank together!"

Tong Lu smiled,

"Old drunkard, what kind of temperament is that it is clear that the drunkard has met the drunkard!"

The old drunken face is better and his words should be much more peaceful.

"This, that's true! I have been in the world for many years and it's rare to meet someone who knows how to drink!"

Tong Ludao,

"So, after you get the person drunk, you throw him into this haunted house?!"

The old drunkard was a little embarrassed and said,

"He seemed to be still awake when I left. Maybe he felt bored after leaving, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep! I went to get the wine and thought about drinking some more with him, but I met you. It was really unexpected to me!"

Tong Lu asked again,

"Hey, old drunkard, do you know why this yard is idle? How come it is said that there are ghosts here?!"

The old drunkard shook his head and replied,

"I just heard that these few years ago, the owner of this yard suffered a tragic death. Because he died injustice, he still refused to leave after becoming a ghost! Sometimes he would come out at night and be scary. On the full moon night, you can still hear someone crying in the yard."

Tong Ludao,

"Ha, these neighbors are really very envious. After so many years, I still haven't found a way to move away!"

Old drunkard,

"You have also seen it. The neighbors are all wealthy families, everyone has a high wall and a strong house. They have certainly no problem to buy another property. They have indeed moved away long ago. Now the people who live here are poor people. They have no money, but they can buy it at a very low price. Some of them simply don't want the property and give it to others directly! Also, after living here for a long time, I realized that this ghost was just occasionally scaring people and did not really hurt anyone. In this way, as long as I pay more attention at night, nothing will happen!"

Tong Ludao,

"Ha, so that's it. I mean I saw that child later, and it didn't look like a wealthy family! Alas, old drunkard, why would you bring this person to this yard?"

Old drunkard,

"The old beggar told me to wait for him in Kowloon Bay. I had no place to go, so I wanted to find a corner. Later, I heard that there was a abandoned yard, so I came in and took a look. When I got here, I thought it was good, so I stayed. An old man, who was half a body buried in the soil, how could I be afraid of this ghost? Haha, I have been here for more than ten and I have never seen any ghosts. I think, those people are just in my heart!"

Tong Lu smiled,

"I think so, there is no ghost! This old beggar is really not good enough. I left you alone here, but I don't know where to go to have fun!"

The old drunkard said helplessly,

"The old beggar said, after finishing this, I would travel around the world with me, and I would no longer care about the affairs of the world! We would be old companions and spend the rest of our lives freely!"

Tong Lu exclaimed,

"Tsk tsk, you two are really good! Hehe, old alcoholic, don't say that you will be buried together if you die, right?"

The old drunkard smiled and replied,

"It's not like burying me together. Being a neighbor often makes noises and you won't feel bored!"

Tong Lu asked,

"If that old beggar never comes, would you just wait like that?!"

Old drunkard,

"What he said will definitely come! I don't have any good places to go now, so it's okay to wait for a few more days!"

Tong Lu smiled,

"You are really good to that old beggar! However, you may have lost your money when drinking every day!"

The old drunkard was much more relaxed at this time, and he narrowed his eyes and smiled,

"When I was always begging for flowers, I gave me some money. I only eat this way, and I can't spend it in two months!"

Tong Lu sighed,

"Ho, you two can do it, no wonder they can get along! But how could the old beggar be so rich? Could it be that his beggar descendants robbed everywhere?!"

The old drunkard explained,

"This is also organized. Each branch has its own ways of making money. It has never been as others imagined that it only relies on begging for food! As their leader, the old beggar is naturally very rich! Haha, I am ashamed to say that since I left with this old beggar, I have never lacked this money for wine!"

The three of them remembered that when they first met him, he was asking for wine from others, which was indeed not as good as the present! All three of them were smiling, Tong Lu said again,

"But after this old beggar left with you, won't get any money? Hehe, you two won't be happy for a long time!"

The old drunkard smiled,

"It doesn't matter!"

Several people were talking, but the man in a sleepy state suddenly woke up and shouted,

"Ah, there are ghosts, there are ghosts! Ah..."

Several people looked back at him, and Tong Lu stood up again, made the expression he had before, and whined, saying,

"Is this the ghost you are talking about?!"

The man's body stiffened and he was about to fall backwards, but there was light in the room and he did see the old drunkard, so he was not scared by Tong Lu again! His lips raised up and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Tong Lu pointed at the man and laughed.

"You coward, you coward!"

The man just now found that his pants were wet, and there was a lot of pissiness. He couldn't guess so he immediately blushed, then grabbed the hay beside him and put it on him! He said,

"I, I, I don't have it! I, I just drink too much and I will be scared by you!"

When the old drunkard saw him wake up, he also came over to ask.

"Brother, are you okay?!"

The man hesitated for a while and replied,

"Old brother, I'm fine, I'm fine! You, do you recognize these three people?!"

The old drunkard smiled and nodded, replied,

"Yes, we have known each other for many years. It's really unexpected to meet here today!"

The man finally felt relieved. He looked up at the roof, looked around and then asked.

"Hey, old brother, where is this?"

Tong Lu stole the words at this time and said,

"This is that haunted house. Every night there will be evil ghosts coming out to find food. If they are encountered, at least they will fold their arms, and at most they will all be taken away by them! Alas, it's so late, I think that ghost is coming out too!"

The man was scared very much, but fortunately, there was an old drunkard by his side, which made him feel much more at ease! He said tremblingly,

"Old brother, is this really a haunted yard here?!"

The old drunkard smiled,

"What the hell is there! I have lived here for more than ten days but haven't seen you!"

The man swallowed and asked again,

"You, you have been living here all the time?! Oh, how is this possible?!"

The old drunkard smiled,

"What's impossible? I've lived for most of my life and haven't seen anything before. I want to fool me with ghosts. I won't be fooled! Tonight, you can stay there with peace of mind. Let's continue drinking tomorrow!"

Tong Lu squatted down, smiled at the man, and asked, "I said, "What's your name, but this person from Kowloon Bay?! Why not tell us interesting stories about this area?"

The man knew that the few were not bad people, and he also relaxed his guard.

"My name is Li Gui. I am not a Kowloon Bay person. I just want to make a living because my family is in decline. I have some savings, but I am always greedy for the rest of my life. I can't change it in this life! Alas, I always want to drink and have no intention of doing things every day. I have spent almost the money on this! Fortunately, I met my old brother today, otherwise the wine would probably be cut off again!"

Tong Lu smiled,

"Oh, it turns out that you are really a drunkard. You two have become a couple! The old beggar, I see, don't wait for the old beggar anymore. Wouldn't it be even more interesting to be with him!"

The old drunkard smiled but said nothing, but Li Gui answered the conversation.

"I see that the trade in Kowloon Bay is well developed, and I happen to know some mathematics. I will ask tomorrow if I can find an errand!"

Tong Lu nodded and said,

"Well, it seems hopeless!"

Xiao Yi asked,

"Brother Li Gui and Li, you just said that you are not a Kowloon Bay person, why did you come here again?!"

Li Gui replied,

"I came with my companions, thinking of doing some business here, but one day, all of my companions disappeared! I thought I was drunk, so I was not favored by them, so I left me alone! I hurried to Jiulong Bay, but I hadn't seen a partner either. It was so strange! I have been twelve days, but I still haven't seen my companions. You guys say that they went to other places and completely abandoned me?!"

He looked very depressed, but he just drank and forgot about his business. Maybe others really disliked him, so he didn't want to walk with him anymore. When he came to Kowloon Bay, he was also lying to him!

Tong Lu smiled,
