Chapter Ten: Small Peasant, Get Out!

After sending off the white-clothed female ghost, Huang Xiaolong recollected his imposing aura. In the blink of an eye, he reverted back to his unassuming young self; somewhat rustic yet harmless with a hint of casual irreverence.

Huang Xiaolong was a country boy in his early twenties, but he also had another identity — he was a ghost emissary!

A legitimate ghost emissary acknowledged by heaven and earth!

This had to do with a strange encounter during his childhood, a top-secret not to be shared!

“Hehehe, I have my own car now, a dream that many city kids can’t even achieve…” Huang Xiaolong excitedly dashed over to the BYD F3. “The best transport in the village is a cow or a horse, only the county has cars. If I take this car back to the village, the village head and my parents would praise me for being so capable~~”

He got into the driver’s seat.

When Huang Xiaolong gripped the steering wheel, an air of stability radiated off him, the aura of an experienced driver…

Clutch in, shift gears, start driving…

Huang Xiaolong skillfully drove the BYD, disappearing in a puff of smoke in this desolate area where few people ventured.

In fact, this place wasn’t far from Litchi district. Upon reaching the highway, Huang Xiaolong checked the road signs and drove towards Litchi district.

The Litchi district was Binhai City’s slum, full of shanty towns where the day was filled with smoky air. It was a mix of diverse characters, making it a place of chaos.

Huahu Street was a narrow lane, flanked on both sides by closely packed red-brick buildings. Shops lined the street, one next to the other.

There were beverage stalls, martial arts clubs, drugstores, restaurants, pool halls, mahjong parlors, foot massage places, massage parlors… you name it.

“Ah~ finally here! Not much has changed since last time~~” Huang Xiaolong parked the BYD at a free parking space outside Huahu Street.

He slung a canvas bag over his shoulder, took a sip of water from a military canteen, and then stepped into Huahu Street.

Binhai City located in the subtropics had long days and short nights. It was already past six in the evening, but there was no sign of darkness. There was a large number of people getting off work and idlers who began to squeeze into Huahu Street, ready to kickstart their decadent nightlife.

Huang Xiaolong’s three main tasks in the city were to earn money, get married, and go to college. These were what he held dear. But… with people being made out of iron and food out of steel, he decided to fill his stomach first!

Feeling the grumbling in his stomach, Huang Xiaolong found a restaurant.

“Xiaoman’s Fast Food.”

Upon entering, Huang Xiaolong looked around. The store was empty with a few simple wooden tables neatly arranged. Though simple and clean, it lacked air conditioning, and two big fans were blowing forcefully. The decor was as basic as it could get.

“Uh… there’s no one here?” Huang Xiaolong looked a bit puzzled and was about to turn around and leave.

Just then, a woman briskly walked out from the kitchen and quickly said to Huang Xiaolong, “Young man, want some food? Please, sit.”

Huang Xiaolong’s eyes lit up.

The woman was in her early twenties, with no makeup. She had a melon-seed face, willow-leaf eyebrows, eyes as deep as autumn waters, and a lithe body with creamy skin. Her temperament was as soft as a Jiangnan woman’s, giving one a comforting and serene feeling at a single glance.

Without exaggeration, she was a solid eight or nine out of ten.

Her attire was simple, wearing a light-colored round collar, off-shoulder T-shirt and chef apron, coupled with a pair of light-blue jeans that emphasized her slim waist and curvaceous bottom.

She wore embroidered cloth shoes on her feet, which subtracted some fashion sense, but added a soft touch of the girl next door.

To nit-pick, her chest was a bit on the small side, probably not even a 36B, which was not comparable to Song Yuru, the busty wife Huang Xiaolong had encountered on the train.

“Young man, please, have a seat,” the woman quickly walked over and greeted enthusiastically.

There were a few droplets of sweat on her forehead and her natural body scent was very appealing, making her look extraordinarily healthy.

“Oh, business is quite slow hmm,” Huang Xiaolong decided not to change places. After all, it’s pleasing to see the lady boss.

He casually picked a free table and sat down.

“Business… it’s not so good…” the woman said with some embarrassment. “Young man, you might not know. Nowadays, it’s hard to do business.”

“Oh, I just came from the countryside and am not familiar with the city’s situation. Boss lady, could you kindly give me the menu?” Huang Xiaolong laughingly replied.

“Alright, alright.” The woman quickly handed the menu to Huang Xiaolong, revealing a satisfied smile as she made the sale.

Huang Xiaolong looked at the menu; braised pork cost 24 a portion, twice-cooked pork 18, spicy fish 28, and vegetarian dishes were all 8 per portion.

‘So expensive… The city really is something else… The prices are much higher than in the county town…’ Huang Xiaolong thought in surprise. Nevertheless, since he made a deal today and earned over a thousand in cash, he decided to indulge a little.

He end up ordering a portion of braised pork, a portion of stir-fry cabbage, and two kilos of rice.

“Young man, two kilos of rice, are you…sure…?” The woman looked at the handsome Huang Xiaolong with some doubt.

“No problem, Ma’am, us country kids have big appetites.” Huang Xiaolong chuckled, showing his teeth.

“Alright, young man wait a sec, I’ll cook it for you.” The woman rushed into the kitchen.

Well, this fast food restaurant was solely run by the owner, a beautiful lady who assumed multiple roles— it was quite a tough job.

Before long, the dishes Huang Xiaolong ordered were served.

Huang Xiaolong started devouring his food.

“Young man, eat slowly, take your time, don’t choke…” The woman said with concern.

The dishes were average, not particularly tasty, but not so bad as to be inedible, the portions were quite generous though.

In a few minutes, like a gust of wind sweeping away the fallen leaves, Huang Xiaolong finished off every bit of his food.

The woman standing behind the counter was slightly stunned.

“Ah~ I’m full, so satisfying…” Huang Xiaolong wiped the grease from his lips, stood up, and walked to the counter to pay.

When he took out his money, Huang Xiaolong noticed a dark mole the size of a pea on the woman’s left shoulder. He frowned slightly, then muttered to himself, “This is a ‘mole of extreme poverty,’ usually indicative of a life filled with struggle and immense financial burden. Surprising, such a beautiful woman, yet so pitiful… If she wants to change her destiny, simply removing the mole won’t help. She needs the help of a benefactor, in other words, she needs to marry a man with a good fate to bring prosperity to her…”

“Young man, what are you talking about?” the woman asked in surprise.

“Oh, nothing.” Huang Xiaolong quickly handed her the crumpled bills.

The woman took the money, then gave Huang Xiaolong some change. “Young man, I… I think you are from the countryside and came to the city to work, right? You recently arrived in the city? Haven’t found a job yet? Tell you what, I’ll give you a discount, don’t worry about the meal cost, just consider it a little favor and just pay me 30 flat.”

“Ah, Ma’am, you’re so kind, and I ate a lot of rice.” Huang Xiaolong responded.

“Pfft~~~ Yeah, you truly have a big appetite, young man.” The woman giggled, looking absolutely beautiful and innocent.

Huang Xiaolong felt slightly taken aback.

Seeing Huang Xiaolong staring at her but without the lustful gaze that most men had, the woman wasn’t angry. Instead, she felt a little embarrassed and lowered her head slightly, “Young man, keep your money.”

“Oh… You’re also having a hard time, I can’t accept the money, otherwise, I’d feel guilty.” Huang Xiaolong didn’t take the money, he looked at the Buddha statue on the counter. “Ma’am, do you have a relative who is in some unorthodox business? And recently, their business is not going well? That’s why you brought this Buddha statue back home. The Buddha statue – Four-Faced Buddha also known as the Wealth God, is best for those in non-standard businesses, but its placement is not right, it should be placed in a spacious place outside the house.”

“What?” The woman was slightly startled and looked at Huang Xiaolong with wide bright eyes, “Young man, how… how do you know I have a relative who is in some non-standard business? Is the placement of this Four-Faced Buddha really incorrect?”

“Yeah,” Huang Xiaolong nodded.

Just then—

“Xiaoman, it’s time for your brother to pay his gambling debt, isn’t it?” A cheeky, rather arrogant voice of a man called from outside the restaurant.

Footsteps echoed and a dozen men directly walked into the restaurant.

The woman paled, horror and disgust all mixed within her expression as she quickly turned to Huang Xiaolong, “Young man, you should go.”

“Oh? Xiaoman, your business is not bad huh. That guy, country boy, Scram after you finish eating.” A man around thirty, clothed in a floral shirt and shorts, tanned skin, short height, and sleazy appearance yet with a fierce light in his eyes, commanded while sitting on the bench, dismissively gesturing at Huang Xiaolong as if shooing away a fly.

“Ah? Are you talking to me?” Huang Xiaolong looked at the man in a daze.

“Yes, I’m talking to you, farmer boy, it’s none of your business here, get lost.” The sleazy man unceremoniously spat on the ground.
