The next morning, the sun was shining brightly.
In front of the Drunken Immortal Inn.
The Deity Image took off his tattered clothes and changed into a clean long robe.
The crimson fire monkey in his arms was still sleeping, and its appearance was completely different from yesterday.
Looking from afar, he really did have the air of an immortal.
Beside him, Si Jianming was dressed in martial arts attire. He wore a bamboo hat and had the demeanor of a Ranger.
"Brother Jianming, why don't you stay for a few more days?"
Looking at Si Jianming, Agy asked.
Although they hadn't known each other for a long time, they had fought against enemies together.
Agy was actually a little reluctant to see Si Jianming leave.
"Yes, this time, Master wants me to protect Deity Xiang thoroughly."
Hearing Agy's words, Si Jianming smiled and said, "Now that the Deity Image has appeared, I should escort him to a safe place."
"Moreover, I promised Shopkeeper Wang that I will leave today and not stay for long!"
Saying that, Si Jianming's eyes turned and landed on Wang Ye.
At this moment, Wang Ye was leaning against the door frame of the Drunken Immortal Inn and yawning impatiently.
After hearing Si Jianming's words, he waved his hand impatiently and said, "Yes, yes, yes. Leave quickly!"
"Nothing good has happened since this kid moved in. Leave early and don't cause trouble for me every day!"
"By the way, you are going to take the sea later, right? Be careful. The sea is very windy and the waves are very strong. Be careful of sinking ships …"
Wang Ye's face was full of impatience. He couldn't wait for Si Jianming to leave quickly.
"You old money grubber!"
Hearing Wang Ye's words, Agy said, "I really wonder what else is in your eyes other than money?"
"Do you have the word 'affection' in your eyes?"
"What is affection?
How much is 500 grams? "
Hearing Agy's words, Wang Ye rolled his eyes and asked lazily, "I can sell it to you for five taels per 500 grams. Do you want it?"
"I have no money!"
Agy rolled his eyes and said unhappily.
"Isn't this settled?"
Looking at Agy's appearance, Wang Ye said, "You're quite affectionate, but if you can't exchange it for money, won't you still have to work under my unaffectionate hands?"
"I …"
For a moment, Agy was speechless.
Wang Ye's words weren't pleasant to hear, but he couldn't refute them at the moment.
"Are you out of words, kid?"
Wang Ye smiled, stood up straight, and said, "Affection is not worth a thousand taels of gold. Sentimental people will always be hurt by heartlessness!"
"I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. Learn from me, you little brat!"
As he spoke, Wang Ye's tone was filled with pride.
"Aren't you afraid that eating so much salt will kill you …"
Just as Wang Ye was feeling smug, Agy muttered in a low voice.
"Hahaha, Shopkeeper Wang is the one who understands!"
Looking at Wang Ye and Agy's expressions, the deity smiled and said to Wang Ye, "Before I leave, I'll also give Shopkeeper Wang a word of advice!"
"Aiyo!"
Hearing this, Wang Ye's face instantly turned into a flattering smile, "Old immortal, I'll definitely listen to your advice!"
Hearing Wang Ye's words, the deity smiled, "I won't care about court matters behind closed doors. I'll decide how to split the plum blossom …"
With that, the deity slowly turned around and walked towards the ferry port.
Seeing the deity leave, Si Jianming saluted Wang Ye and Agy with cupped fists, turned around, and chased after the deity.
"Old man …"
Looking at the back of the deity, Wang Ye shook his head and said in a low voice, "You don't have to tell me that …"
The deity's words were clearly telling him not to meddle in other people's business. Naturally, he could continue to live in seclusion.
But how could he not understand this logic?
There were endless disputes in the pugilistic world. It was better to be an innkeeper.
He would only meddle in those rotten matters if he ate too much …
"Shopkeeper, what did the deity say to you?
Why can't I understand a single word of what he said behind closed doors and acting on his own? "
Just as Wang Ye was thinking to himself, Agy's big face came over and asked.
"The deity said that if you don't do your job properly, I'll deduct your wages!"
Looking at Agy's big face, Wang Ye knocked on his head, "You don't want to do any work at all. You only know how to ask this and that. If you're so free, why don't you go on a pilgrimage to the west?"
With that, Wang Ye put his hands behind his back and walked into the Drunken Immortal Inn.
"Skinning Wang …"
A 'Ji said in a low voice as he looked at Wang Ye's back.
Then, he returned to the Drunken Immortal Inn.
…
Unknowingly, three days had passed.
In the evening, the Drunken Immortal Inn was already closed.
Wang Ye and the other two sat in the main hall and ate dinner.
"Shopkeeper, hire a handyman!"
Agy held a drumstick and chewed it. His mouth was glistening with oil, "There are more and more customers recently. When I get busy, there's no end to it."
"I have martial arts. It doesn't matter if I'm a little tired. But you have to consider Chen Chong!"
"Hey, you little brat!"
Hearing Agy's words, Wang Ye put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand and said, "If you want to hire a handyman, just say it. Don't drag Chen Chong in!"
"I'm not dragging Chen Chong in!"
Hearing this, Agy shook his head. He pointed at Chen Chong who was eating beside him and said, "It's because you're stingy and don't hire a handyman. Chen Chong has to help clean up after cooking. You've made Chen Chong so tired every day. Look at his dark circles!"
With that said, Wang Ye turned to look at Chen Chong.
He found that Chen Chong's eyes were deeply sunken and faintly dark. It was obvious that he didn't rest well.
"Isn't it … that tiring?"
Looking at Chen Chong's appearance, Wang Ye scratched his head and said, "I think it's okay. A day passed without doing anything. How can it be that tiring?"
"Nonsense!"
Without waiting for Wang Ye to finish speaking, Agy said, "You're definitely not tired standing at the counter shouting orders every day. But you have to think about us!"
"I'm a waiter and do odd jobs alone. Chen Chong cooks in the day and helps clean up at night. At night, he has to sharpen a knife …"
"Speaking of sharpening a knife, I'm puzzled. Chen Chong, do you use a kitchen knife to chop firewood every day?
Sharpen a knife every day? "
With that said, the silent Chen Chong was slightly taken aback. He said, "Agy, you brat, nothing good comes out of a dog's mouth."
"That knife is used to chop mutton and kill chickens every day. It's stained with oil and blood. If I don't sharpen it, the long knife will be blunt. When that happens, I'll have to go to the refinery to sharpen it. It's not worth it!"
"Look, look!"
With that said, Wang Ye nodded and said to Agy, "Look at Chen Chong's awareness and then look at you. Every day, you're either slacking or arguing with me."
"You're both working hard. Why is the difference so big?!"
"Hey, I don't like to hear that!"
Hearing that, Agy put down his drumstick and was about to speak.
Bang bang bang!
At this moment, there was a sudden rush of knocking on the door …
